Bisso files ethics complaint against Duprey

This Week PLATTSBURGH

By Shawn Ryan

NYSEG natural gas expansion in Plattsburgh

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Karen Bisso, Conservative challenger in New York’s 115th Assembly district, has filed a complaint alleging ethics violations against incumbent Janet Duprey (R, I).

In the complaint, Bisso says she was approached by a friend who had contacted Duprey for constituent services, and in Duprey’s official response, she referenced that person’s support of Bisso, during official Assembly business.

Bisso says that this shows a trend by Duprey to monitor constituents’ allegiances, and temper her services to constituents accordingly, as well as to CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Need to quell a zombie uprising, try adding a little rain. The annual Plattsburgh Zombie Walk took place as scheduled on Saturday Oct. 25, but numbers were down noticeably from earlier years. In a year where organizers were hoping to eclipse their previous best turnouts, a cold driving rain had numbers at least half what they once were. Many zombies who did take part were seen sporting very un-zombie-esque umbrellas to combat the cold driving rain.

Ed Coats, associate publisher of Denton Publications and New Market Press, who has been organizing Taste of Home locally since first offering it in Burlington, Vt., ten years ago, said people in the community are looking forward to the event. Ò Tickets are selling extremely well,Ó said Coats. Ò We expect it to be sold out again this year, even with the added seating.Ó More than 1,100 in attendance were in attendance for the fifth year of the cooking school in Plattsburgh last year, said Coats. Ò Last year, we had to turn people away at the door and, with the strong sales already this year, I would advise people to get there tickets as soon as possible,Ó said Coats.

Taste of Home will once again feature cooking demonstrations from culinary specialist Eric Villegas, who has conducted Taste of Home shows across the country.

Expansion of natural gas lines in store for Plattsburgh

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Many Town of Plattsburgh residents received reason to cheer recently, when it was announced that NYSEG will be extending its distribution natural gas to another 1,000 houses and businesses within the town.

In making the announcement, Supervisor Bernie Bassett said that the project, which has been in the planning stage for several years, is NYSEG’s largest expansion in the past 15 years.

The project, which was approved by the New York State Public Service Commission in late July, will take place over the next three and a half years. For the remainder of 2014, NYSEG will focus on installing new main lines, and the 2015 portion of the project will deal exclusively with bringing distribution pipes to northern Cumberland Head.

A full year-by-year timetable is available at www.nyseg.com, then clicking on the Ò North

Country Natural Gas Extension ProjectÓ tab under the Ò Our CompanyÓ section. Ò When you talk about economic development and attracting new business, natural gas is essential,” said Bassett. “We’re hoping that this information will attract not just new businesses, but families looking for lower cost heating as well.Ó NYSEG will install a total of roughly 17 miles of new gas lines over the span of the project.

They will be utilizing road rights of way whenever possible to avoid private property. In areas where that is not possible, they will pursue easements. NYSEG officials anticipate the project will cause some traffic issues, but feel that they can be kept to a minimum.

As for individual residences or businesses; Ò NYSEG will be responsible for installing the first 100 feet of service line to a customer’s house. The customer will be responsible for bringing the line the rest of the way,Ó said NYSEG spokesman Dave Gridley.

Gridley said that most furnaces and boilers can be converted to burn natural gas. For those that can’t, NYSEG does have a rebate program to help defray the cost of purchasing new, high efficiency equipment. He said that the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has a rebate program as well for residents and small businesses.

Customers switching to natural gas will be subject to a one time surcharge of $300, Gridley said. This, Plattsburgh supervisor Bernie Bassett, second from left, discusses according to Bassett, will more than the upcoming expansion of natural gas distribution in Plattsbe offset by the cost savings which, burgh. he said, will average $1,400 per Photo by Shawn Ryan year over fuel oil.

The only negative comments I’ve anxiously waiting for.Ó heard was ‘why can’t we do this faster’,” said Bassett. “For

Renovations bode well for longevity of two local churches

To finance the project, the church is undertaking a host of fund-raisers including a community dinner which they just hosted at the Mooers fire station.

They’re respected here,” he said.

With the Catholic Church, Demo says, any major renovation has to fit into the Diocesan master plan as well as the local church’s plans.

Allowing St. Joseph’s to proceed with the project, shows the commitment of the diocese to the Dannemora church.

“What we have here at St. Joseph’s are very hard working people. We’re not a tourist parish.

It’s taken a period of time to get ourselves in a position to finance the work that is going on,” said Demo.

While the project was being discussed, it was decided that a new furnace would be added to replace the aging behemoth lurking in the bow-

els of the church as well.

The work, which was supposed to start this past summer and be done in time for this year’s harvest supper, hit a major bump in the road when asbestos was discovered in the church hall. The time frame was thrown off, as was the budget, but the project ultimately went ahead.

The harvest supper was canceled for this year, and plastic now covers the windows and doors of the church hall as asbestos abatement nears its finish.

As soon as abatement is complete later this week, construction will begin. It is slated to run through the winter, and be completed in early spring. ÒI have to thank the generosity of the people of the parish,” said Demo. “They’re the glue that makes everything work.Ó

Gordie Little finds manuscript lost for over a decade

By Shawn Ryan and Morgan Rugar shawn@denpubs.com

MORRISONVILLE — For fans of Gordie Little’s children’s books, good news is on the way.

Little recently discovered a manuscript, which had been lost for over a decade.

Little, a prolific media icon in the North Country, wrote Ò Marilyn and the Magic ClosetÓ in 2001, during a flurry of activity that saw several other books produced as well. Little brought the only copy of the manuscript for the book to a local elementary school for a reading.

It was so well received that one student wanted to bring it home to read it to her mother.

The manu-

script never returned, and when he lost the floppy disk it was written on, the story appeared to be gone forever. Ò I sat down and wrote that story in a very short time,Ó Little said. Ò This was a story that just flowed.”

The book centered around the Hayes House, an alleged haunted house on Ganong Drive in Saranac. The fictional story tells about a little girl, Marilyn, who finds a portal in her bedroom closet that transports her to the past.

“As long as I’ve lived here, I’ve admired that house because it did look so haunted,”’ Little said. Ò I like to favor the North Country with names they know and are familiar with.Ó Little hints that a skeleton key is a critical part of the story, setting the stage for Marilyn to be transported back to the 1500s and halfway around the world. But, he said, he was unable to recapture the moment and rewrite the story, so it seemed gone forever. Ò Since it was lost for so many years, it became kind of mysterious to me.Ó Little received a call not long ago from one of his children, who said he found a floppy disk in an old desk drawer. Little told him if it said Ò Marilyn,Ó he would kiss him on both cheeks. Ò Marilyn and the Magic ClosetÓ had been found.

With his newfound manuscript, the story ap-

peared to be saved, but there was one detail missing. Little needed to acquire a picture of the Hayes House, which had been torn down years earlier.

Little was interviewing local author Sylvia Newman for his television show on the Home Town Cable network. Newman is a historian in Saranac, and has been collecting photos of the area for several years for a calendar series she produces.

On a whim, Little asked if she had a picture of the haunted centerpiece of his story, which she did. Ò It was lost, it was gone for years and years, now the feeling overwhelms me that I need to publish this book.Ó Little has been in touch with Local author Gordie Little shows off the photo of the haunted Hayes artist Janelle Michonski, who House he recently acquired from historian Sylvia Newman.

He hopes to have between Little says he has another of his popular ghost 20 and 30 color drawings in Ò Marilyn and the books already in the pipeline, and that he is Magic Closet.Ó He is pursuing a publisher and learning new ghost stories almost everywhere anticipates having the book in children’s’ hands he goes. within a year.

Cat Art Community Show helps raise funds for Elmore

By Teah Dowling

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The ROTA Gallery and Studios will be hosting a cat-themed community art show to help raise funds for the Elmore SPCA. “There’s a lot of pet lovers and animal lovers, and we can only have so many,Ó said Kimberly Cummins, member of the ROTA Gallery. Ò Hopefully, the show will help support them in the work that they do.Ó ART SHOW The Cat Art Community Show will take place Nov. 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the ROTA Gallery. Ò We originally came up with it to be a normal art show where you bring your own work, and you get paid for it,Ó Cummins said. Ò The Adirondack Humane Society (AHS) tanked, and now the SPCA is taking on the extra animals, so we thought we would take our original idea and twist it a little to make it more purposeful.Ó This art show accepts any type of cat-themed art work from all ages, and it’s free and open to the public.

The proceeds from many of the artists’ work will go to the Elmore SPCA to help with the recent influx of animals due to the closing of AHS. “I think it’s really tragic that the animals were displaced from this one place,Ó Cummins said. Ò Whatever we can do to ease that process or be a part of it and encourage the people who are doing the difficult work in our community, I think, is important.Ó ANIMAL RESCUE Earlier this month, AHS closed its doors, leaving almost 100 cats and dogs with no place to go. Elmore SPCA went to the rescue.

On Oct. 10, the Humane Society of the United States New York State Director Brian Shapiro contacted the Elmore SPCA via email stating that he had been in contact with AHS and hoped that the SPCA would help the situation.

At the board meeting later that night, the SPCA agreed to help.

“I didn’t have any thought that the Adirondack Humane Society would be closing for good,Ó said Rebecca Burdo, shelter manager at Elmore SPCA. Ò I just thought that there was

something going on that needed immediate help and more resources than what they had at the time.Ó Burdo said there were several factors as to why AHS closed its doors including to many cats kept in one small area, lack of proper management of the population of cats and lack of isolation and intake protocols.

When they arrived, there were 69 cats on site along with 11 dogs, and many of them had bacterial infections in the eyes, upper respiratory infections, dehydration problems and extensive diarrhea. Ò When you walked in, you could smell it,Ó Burdo said. Ò You could smell the sickness and the feces.Ó Ò Because of the population of cats was running at large, it really would’ve been impossible for people to see some of the symptoms that were presenting.Ó Currently, the Elmore SPCA staff is working between both their site and AHS’ site. They had to humanely euthanize 19 cats out of the 69, and they’re currently working on treating the rest.

However, they need assistance in order to do that.

HELP NEEDED Ò Financially taking care of animals is exhausting,” Burdo said. “I’m not trying to put down vets in this area or other areas, but it’s very expensive to take care of an animal.Ó Donated dollars will go toward vaccines for rabies, bordetella and distemper; testing for heartworm, FeLV and FIV; and treatments for Lyme disease, fleas and ticks and ear mites, along with isolation and treatment for respiratory infections for the cats.

Besides medical purposes, donated money will go toward disposable steamer pans, disposable water and food tins, exam gloves, overtime pay for staff and more.

“We’re not a huge municipal shelter that has county money coming in,Ó Burdo said. Ò We live off of donations from the citizens, the people who help us.Ó If anyone would like to donate to the Elmore SPCA, visit http://www.youcaring.com/ pet-experiences/please-open-your-hearts-tous-i-promise-to-hold-your-hand/246850#.

at ROTA. ‘ROTA GALLERY’ ROTA is a cooperative non-profit dedicated to local art, music, performance and community activities, serving the Plattsburgh region since 2011.

“I’ve been involved in ROTA almost since the beginning, and it has gone through these fun transformations,Ó Cummins said. Ò Now, I think ROTA is a great mid-ground for people to get their feet wet or have a show that’s all theirs.”

For the community, ROTA offers art workshops for children and adults, local band performances, international and national band performances, music lessons and workshops, open mic poetry night, free yoga classes and community art shows such as the Cat Art Community Show for the Elmore SPCA. “I’m excited to have the ROTA Gallery do this,Ó Burdo said. “I think it’s amazing, and I hope that it snowballs into something bigger.Ó ‘ELMORE SPCA’ The Elmore SPCA is a notfor-profit charitable organization dedicated to helping animals find new forever homes.

Their mission is to provide shelter and comfort to animals in need who are on their path to finding loving, lifetime homes.

They care for the homeless, defend the abused, cherish the elderly and disabled and fight with unrelenting diligence for the integrity of all animals.

The shelter is open Monday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information about their adoption process,

along with their adoptable pets, can be found on their website www.elmorespca.org. Contact Burdo at 518-643-2451 or rebecca@elmorespca. org for more information.

It’s the North Country: Be prepared

N

ow that we’ve all had out fill of the lovely fall colors, hot mulled cider and warm sugar donuts, it’s time to get down to the business of being from the North Country.

With only double digit days left until the end of the year, and snow in the forecast THIS WEEK, preparations for winter should be almost done by now, not just beginning. For far too many people in our region, preparations aren’t even underway, but are simply an after-thought once trouble arises.

When the snow starts to fly, the place for snow tires are on the car, not in the garage or on the tire rack at Sears. The first snowfall is historically a day of carnage on the roads, partly because people forget how to drive in the snow, but in no small part due to their trying to drive on summer slicks. Stop by any garage that sells tires the day after the first good snowstorm and observe the line of people desperate for their snow tires. Get them on now and save some time, very likely some money, and potentially a whole lot of front end damage.

Many people in the North Country lived through the ice storm of ‘98. If you didn’t, chances are good that you’ve heard about it. Will we ever have another ice storm of that size and duration?

Your guess is as good as ours, but the trend for storms becoming worse and worse certainly leaves the possibility open. Even if we don’t see a storm of that magnitude, the chances are great that every winter we will lose power for one or several days due to ice and snow. Don’t be the person in line at the big box store on day two of a power failure looking for a generator to buy. They won’t have any. if they do, you’ll likely pay about double for it. Now is the time to think about what you will need to keep your food from thawing and your pipes from freezing if you lose power for more than a few hours. If you determine that that means you need a generator, now is the time to buy one, not after the lights are out. If we do lose power for any extended period of time, the news will be populated with stories of people who die of carbon monoxide poisoning, or in house fires caused by ‘improvised’ heating systems. Don’t be a statistic, prepare now.

It seems obvious to state, but generators, and cars for that matter, run on gas Ñ lots of gas. Having a nice generator and one gallon of gas is not much help. A five gallon gas can will run a decentsized generator on and off for several days. Invest. And ice storms typically don’t sneak up on us.

If you hear of one in the offing, fill up your car in advance.

If a generator just isn’t in the budget, then at least everyone should have a supply of candles, flashlights and the like on hand. Not only do stores sell out of these items on about day two of a power outage, but driving to town to buy them puts you, other people, and emergency crews at risk when you should be home working your way through Ò War and PeaceÓ by candlelight.

With a good-sized ice or snow storm also comes driving bans. How many days can your food supply last? Thinking back to ‘98, grocery stores don’t typically have more than a couple days worth of food supply on hand. A good North Country pantry should have at least that much nonperishable food already on hand. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy; some dry pasta entrees, a couple large cans of beef stew, a few gallons of bottled water. Just enough to keep you off the roads until they are safe to drive on and the grocery stores start getting deliveries again.

And finally, you aren’t the only one likely to get hungry after about two or three days with no contact to the outside world Ñ your dog or cat will be too. Anyone with pets should have a backup supply of food on hand for your pets as well. Again, its a safety issue to keep as many people off the roads as possible, but also because pet food stores can run out of food as well. You should have an extra large bag on hand at all times. When you finish a bag, use the extra bag and replace it, so it’s always somewhat fresh. That way you’re never out anything, and the animals under your care are taken care of too.

In short, you know it’s likely coming. Prepare now. No money you spend, whether its on food, gas or other supplies, is wasted. It may not save your life, but it can certainly make an uncomfortable time much more livable. ÑD

Dr. Casale to lecture about Islam at SUNY Plattsburgh

By Teah Dowling

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Dr. Giancarlo Casale will deliver the 2014 Karl Cron Lecture at SUNY Plattsburgh Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the Cardinal Lounge in the Angell College Center. ÒE very semester, we offer a guest lecturer who is a scholar and has a specialty in a particular field,” said Florin Georgescu, president of the SUNY Plattsburgh Protestant Campus Ministry student club. ÒT hey present a topic that has a basis in Christian beliefs with current modern day events or academic scholarly research.Ó CASALE’S LECTURE The title of the lecture is ÒC olumbus and the Caliphate: World History and the Renaissance of an Ancient Islamic Institution.Ó The lecture is free and open to the public.

Casale will speak on the historical and current concepts of the Islamic caliphate in mainstream and sectarian Islam, including the radical ideology of ISIS. A scholar of both European and Islamic History, he will also highlight the parallel evolution of European empire-building and colonization around the world.

The ÒO ttoman caliphateÓ is the idea that the sultans of the Ottoman Empire served as the protectors and defenders of Muslims everywhere in the world. Today, nearly a century after the Ot-

toman Empire’s demise, the idea that the Ottomans were the Òl ast Caliphs of IslamÓ remains widespread, even playing a role in the rhetoric surrounding of the recent declaration of a new ISIS ÒC aliphateÓ i n Syria and Iraq.

“That’s a big issue with ISIS and the whole middle eastern turmoil, so you can read that in the paper about the caliphate, but what does that mean exactly?” said Robert Harsh, president of the Plattsburgh Protestant Campus Ministry.

“If you’re not familiar with Islam, this would give you a chance to see where that comes from, what it is and how it relates to Europe and other places.Ó While one group claims that the Ottomans inherited the title through a direct line of succession from the Prophet Mohammed himself, others claim that the title is basically an invention of the modern period.

Casale’s talk will explore a possibility that the Ottoman caliphate was originally conceived in the sixteenth century as part of a radical transformation of the way people understood the world, global politics and religious identity following Columbus’ voyage to America.

GIANARLO CASALE Casale is an associate professor of European and Islamic history at McGill University in Montreal. With a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University, he has lectured widely and authored numerous papers on the comparative history of Europe and the Islamic world in the Early Mod-

ear style & substance, I want my life to be better. I read your advice column and have read self-help books for the past year, trying to get my life on track. I am 20 and think that I have made too many mistakes for people to trust me, let alone like me. Everything I read seems to assume that changing is easy. Do most people only have one problem? How do you get past having a bad reputation or no self- worth? Is there actually a starting place for me?

Yes, there is a starting place for everyone, including you, providing you are introspective enough to determine where the problems may have started and how they have manifested in behaviors and others perceptions. You are just beginning your twenties, a time of new beginnings and self-determination.

You may feel that doing it all over/ beginning again would be the best option; however, we encourage you to reflect on your best qualities and then re-start/re-fresh on your adult life. Get some small things on track and you will then be able to work on the bigger things. If you are consistent with your

positive behaviors, you will find that the new people you meet are drawing their conclusions from these present actions rather than your past behaviors.

Make a commitment to right living. Right living begins with intention and purpose. Decide who you are and what life you want to live. If you are living in a place that is not conducive to your well-being, consider a move. At 20 the world is your oyster.

You may want to consider pursuing an education or committing time to volunteer or serve in some capacity. Do not move just to relocate, that is action without purpose. Remember, you get to decide where you want to be and what you want to do.

While you are planning and considering your options, incorporate some easy Ò living rightÓ strategies into your daily interactions: •Do not judge others, at least not out loud to start •Listen more than you speak.

•If it is not nice, do not say it…which means you can still say NO or that you disagree, but in a respectful manner.

•Be impeccable with your word. Speak with truth and kindness.

•Look internally for positive feedback, rather than waiting

The Burgh - 7

the Plattsburgh Protestant Campus Ministry and its supporting churches and judicatories, has brought nationally-renowned scholars to campus for guest lectures, class sessions and textual studies on topics in religion and culture.

Lecturers have included religious-studies faculty, biblical scholars, writers, musicians, scholars, Western and Eastern religious leaders, historians and cultural critics including environmentalist Bill McKibben, national book award author Mark Kurlansky and Pulitzer-Prize historian Dr. Edward Larsen.

In 2007, a second lecture series, the Karl Cron Community Lectures, was added to showcase college and other local scholars. Both types of lectures are typically co-sponsored by related college programs, community organizations and local churches, and they are offered free of charge at the college and other community venues, similar to this lecture. ÒWh at this lecture series brings is possibly a different opinion, or a fresh attitude or look to an idea that they are presenting that we wouldn’t get from our professors on campus,Ó Georgescu said. “It’s always good to learn something new from a different point of view and get a different perspective on a topic.Ó If anyone would like more information about the lectures or ministry, contact Harsh at harshck@westelcom.com.

for others to notice and give you kudos.

•Do not complain and do not dwell on the past.

•Be on time and keep your commitments.

As part of re-starting your life, be certain to set small goals and work on yourself daily: •Read something educational, as if you were going to use it in a conversation or in giving a small presentation •MOVE your body for as little as 10 minutes a day. Changing your physical body can lead to improved self-confidence and a more positive outlook.

•Do your best at whatever you are doing, no one can argue with that!

Lastly, incorporate these: •Make new friends. Be open to diversity, differences in ways of life, spiritual beliefs, goals and behaviors…..if they are honest and genuine, you will learn a lot from these people and possibly become real friends •Make amends with those you have hurt or wronged. This is only authentic when you have made some obvious changes, otherwise people think you will wrong them again.

•Get some honest feedback (a Life Coach, a Counselor, a trusted friend or Mentor) about how you are doing and what others might be interpreting.

Practice forgiveness of yourself and others. You are 20 and while you may have made decisions that hurt yourself and others, you were in your formative years. You do not need to continue on this path as an adult. Sing the words of Sara Bareilles, “King of Anything”, particularly the line, “now it’s MY turn to decideÓ .

Ethics

From page 1 conduct politics on Assembly time. ÒN ow there was a pattern of behavior to deal with where people I know were now receiving different treatment and being monitored because of their relationship with me,Ó s aid Bisso.

She also sites an e-mail, allegedly accidentally sent by Duprey to congressional candidate Elise Stefanik, in which she refers to Stefanik’s personal relationship with Bisso as reason not to

www.the-burgh.com support her in her ongoing Congressional campaign.

“Not only is it wrong for an elected official to use relationships between myself and my neighbors as a barometer for the level of constituent services they receive, but the disrespect to our next Congresswoman from the Assemblywoman is not a way to establish a working relationship that is beneficial to this area,” said Bisso.

Bisso recently posted the e-mail in question on her campaign Facebook page.

“At this point in the campaign I find it all

offensive,Ó said Duprey in response. ÒT his just seems a little silly...It’s just grasping at straws.”

Duprey added: ÒI would worry more about her driving down the road videotaping herself. At least I didn’t put anyone’s life at risk,” referencing a video posted on Bisso’s campaign Facebook page where Bisso appears to be videotaping herself while driving from a campaign stop.

Bisso says that she was using her smart phone to record the short video in hands-free mode.

Duprey says that she has a good working relationship with Stefanik as well, and will work with whoever the next Congress person will be to best benefit the North Country. She denied treating any constituents differently because of their friendships with Bisso, but stated too that she is unaware of the specifics of the complaint being made by Bisso.

Bisso said she sent the complaint to the State Assembly’s Ethics Committee on Tuesday via registered mail. Duprey, who is a member of the Ethics Committee, is unaware of the next step in the process, saying she has never been the subject of an ethics complaint.

“As a teacher, I don’t put up with bullying. As I have encouraged all of my students to do for the past 29 years, I told. Maybe now it will stop,Ó said Bisso.

New York State Assemblyman Charles Lavine, chair of the ethics committee, said the ethics committee has not yet received the complaint, and would not thus be able to comment for this report.

Lady Hornets win overtime thriller over SL

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com SARANAC LAKE - Meghan Sullivan scored in the third overtime of a sudden-death quarterfinal game to give the Hornets the 2-1 win over the Red Storm Wednesday afternoon.

Plattsburgh and Saranac Lake combined for six goals and five overtimes in their last three matchups, ending in a win for each team and a draw.

For the Hornets, netting the win came at the right time. ”I wasn’t surprised that it came right down to the wire again,Ó said Plattsburgh Coach Tim Mulligan. Ò To be able to come here to their home field and pick up the win speaks volumes of our team.Ó Plattsburgh got on the scoreboard early after Sarah Duquette drilled a hand ball penalty kick past Saranac Lake goalie Sheila Decker, but the Red Storm would answer.

Midway through the first half, Katie Holvik took a Kate Stevens pass in front of the Plattsburgh net and put it in.

Nearly 90 passed before either time would

find the net again, though they weren’t without their chances. The Red Storm had two one-on-one opportunities against Hornets goalie Alyssa Salls, but Salls stopped one shot and another went wide.

Then, in the third overtime, Plattsburgh came out fast and Sullivan tallied the game-winner.

Neither team got many shots off--Plattsburgh with eight to Saranac Lake’s six--as much of the game took place in a backand-forth midfield battle between the well-matched teams.

Plattsburgh’s Sarah Duquette shadows a Saranac Lake player. Duquette Salls made five saves drilled a penalty kick for the early 1-0 lead. and Decker seven in the Photo by Andrew Johnstone season-ending loss.

The Hornets will move against the undefeated Eagles. on to play top-seeded Beekmantown in Platts”We’ll have our hands full,” said Mulligan. burgh Saturday at 5 pm.

Cougars, Eagles earn trips to Class B finals

By Barrie Finnegan

denpubs@denpubs.com Northeastern Clinton 2, Plattsburgh 1 CHAZY Ñ Plattsburgh High would come prepared for their matchup with Northeastern Clinton.

Coach Chris Larose brought up seven junior varsity players to fully man his five-senior team, but it wouldn’t be enough as the Cougars came from behind to win 2-1 in extra time.

There was nearly 20 minutes gone in the game before Alex Follmer took a pass from Gerrit Rietsema and buried it in the back of the net giving the Hornets the one goal lead through most of the game.

The match was very evenly played as it seemed like that goal could be the only score of the whole game.

Suddenly, with 5:32 left in the game Northeastern Clinton’s Austin Tetreault sent a cross pass to sophomore Michael McLeod, who headed it into the back of the goal.

New life suddenly arose on the Cougar side-

line. Now with a tie game, the final five minutes became very intense.

The players for both teams were very aware that one play could decide the outcome of this game.

Regulation would end with a tie score at 1-1.

First year goalie JD Side would come up with some great saves during the regulation play, stopping 17 overall.

The very intense overtime wound down with no scoring taking place.

The second sudden death overtime period ticked away until at 11:34 gone in the extra time Austin Tetreault buried a hard shot to end the game.

The double overtime win for the Cougars gave them the chance to come right back to Chazy to face off against the Beekmantown Eagles on Thursday for the Section VII/Class B title.

Beekmantown 5, Saranac Lake 0 CHAZY Ñ The Saranac Lake Red Storm held off the Beekmantown Eagles for nearly 20

minutes before Alex Price would opened the scoring with an unassisted shot from distance.

Ten minutes later Kyle Constanty scored on an assist from Price to give the Eagles some breathing room.

Ryan Waterbury was next when he buried one after a pass from Alex Proper. Waterbury’s goal would close out the scoring in the first half with the Eagles ahead 3-0.

Beekmantown, the 14th ranked Class B team in New York, got standout defense from Kaden Baugh, who joined the Eagles along with Keegan Frenya, Noah Osborne and Elijah Kelting when Seton Catholic no longer had the numbers to field a team.

Baugh also occasionally heads towards the goal and scored on an assist from Price nearly 20 minutes into the second half.

Constanty scored his second of the night to round out the scoring. The strong defense of Beekmantown would not allow a shot on goal during the contest. Meanwhile Red Storm goalie Easton Moore stopped 12 shots in a losing cause.

Boys’s soccer Saranac Lake 2, Saranac 1 SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Red Storm opened up sectionals with a 2-1 home win over the Chiefs on Oct. 21, setting themselves up for a semifinal matchup against top-seeded Beekmantown.

Luka Tsiklauri put Saranac Lake up by one midway through the first half on a Liam McCloskey assist.

In the second, McCloskey got involved again when he scored on a Eli Hameline helper. The Red Storm held the 2-0 lead until late in the second half when Saranac’s Mitchell Fink scored to prevent the shutout.

Saranac Lake outshot the Chiefs 21-15. Easton Moore stopped 12 shots for the Red Storm, just missing the clean sheet, while Saranac goaltender Chris Fall stopped nine in the season-ending loss for the Chiefs.

Girls’ soccer Beekmantown 4, Plattsburgh 0 PLATTSBURGH Ñ Plattsburgh Coach Tim Mulligan knew after beating Saranac Lake in the quarterfinals that the Hornets would have their hands full with Beekmantown and the Villemaire duo.

He was right.

Kallie and Kirsten Villemaire each scored two goals and combined for two assists as the Eagles rolled to the 4-0 win over the Hornets Oct. 25.

Beekmantown outshot Plattsburgh 28-10 on its way to a finals appearance against Northeastern Clinton.

Hornets goalies Bella Friendman and Alyssa Salls combined for 17 saves in a strong effort to keep the Villemaires out of the net. But it wasn’t enough.

Beekmantown’s Maggie Chauvin made six stops for the shutout in net.

Northeastern Clinton 3, Saranac 1 PLATTSBURGH Ñ Abbie, Kalie and Emily Sample each scored a goal as the third-seeded Cougars beat the second-seeded Chiefs in the semifinals Oct. 25.

Northeastern Clinton also got three assists from the Samples, with Emily, Abbie and Peyton each tallying a pass for a score.

After finding themselves down in a 2-0 hole early in the first half, the Chiefs got within a point on a Taylor Byerley goal when she convereted on a Kayla Napper assist.

But one point was as close as the Chiefs would get as the Cougars scored again and held on for the 3-1 win to advance to the Section VII/Class B championship against Beekmantown.

Stevens chases rushing record as Eagles run over Hornets Stevens goes for 346 and four touchdowns; Peru next for Beekmantown

By Barrie Finnegan

denpubs@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN - Justin Stevens said he and his Eagles were not going to overlook the Plattsburgh Hornets in hopes for a rematch against the Peru Indians in the Section VII Class B championship game to be played next Saturday, knowing from the previous meeting that the Hornets would come out hard.

Stevens averaged over 23 yards per carry en route to a 346 yard, four touchdown day as the Eagles would go on to win the game 46-0 in convincing fashion.

Stevens is chasing the Section VII single season rushing record of 1869 yards, held by Sam Godfrey of the Peru Indians. Stevens now has 1810 yards with the upcoming matchup with those same Peru Indians. Stevens said the record is important to him. ”It’s for the guy on your left and the guy on your right,” said Stevens. “It’s why you train off-season and year round.Ó Defense and special teams would be the force for the Hornets to deal with early in this game.

On the third play of the game, the Hornets fumbled on their own 8-yard line. Beekmantown recovered and shortly after Dylan Peryea scam-

pered the 8 yards for an Eagles touchdown with only 2:33 gone in the game.

On the next Hornets series their punt was blocked and sophomore Clay Watts gathered it in and took it to the end zone for another Eagles score only 4:47 into the game.

Stevens would get involved just four minutes later as he went off the right side and flew 69 yards for a touchdown on his first carry of the game.

Eagles quarterback Alex Archer hit Mickey Pepper on a 46-yard touchdown pass to close out the first quarter scoring with the Eagles up 28-0.

Henry Sanchez became the Hornets quarterback because D’Andre Lemieux was sidelined with headaches. Sanchez connected with tight end Jacob Rohrig three times and Riley Monahan four times, but that along with 54 yards

by Quran Carroll was about all the offense PHS could establish on the day.

The second quarter would be more of the Stevens show. Louden Frechette pounced on a fumble after the ball was ripped from a Hornets carrier by Nathan Handy.

That turnover led to a 6-yard Stevens touchdown run. Shortly after the Eagles would get the ball back and Stevens would go 85 yards, leaving defenders further and further behind on his way to paydirt. Halftime came with the Eagles firmly in command at 40-0.

In the third quarter Stevens scored again, this time on a 25-yard run That would wrap up the

scoring with the Eagles coming away with a decisive 46-0 victory.

Stevens came out of the game for good with 10 minutes left.

The win sets the stage for next Saturdays game with Peru. Not only is the Section VII

Class B crown on the line, but the rushing record for Stevens as well. Stevens said Peru will be the favorite and that is the way he likes it.

He also said they have a few things up their sleeve for Peru as well.

Patriots get semifinals win over Chiefs on late touchdown Patriots advance to Section VII Class C finals against Saranac Lake with 14-8 win over Chiefs

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ The Saranac Chiefs fell to the AuSable Valley Patriots in the Class C semifinal game on Saturday, Oct. 25 by a score was 14 to 8.

Both teams held each other scoreless until the end of the second quarter when AuSable Valley’s Jimmy Kelley rushed for the team’s first touchdown, finally putting a score in the board.

Although there was little scoring, William Coats, the Patriots’ quarterback, threw 10-for-16 in the first half for 161 yards to main targets Kobe Parrow and Sultan Sikandar, among others.

While the Patriots took to the sky, the Chiefs stuck to their ground game during this matchup. The first half rushing game was led by George Miller, who had eight carries for 30 yards in the half.

The passing game continued to produce for AuSable Valley in the second half, where Coats threw 7-for-10 for 45 yards to his main target Parrow.

Coats’ success through the air helped open up the Patriots’ run game. Kelley had six carries for 24 yards and Coats added seven carries for 22 yards.

in the second half was Mason Martin, who added 11 carries for 57 yards, a touchdown and two-point conversion to Miller’s 9 carries for 31 yards.

Both teams made outstanding plays on defense. In just the first half, Saranac’s Dillon Clay made an interception, only to have AuSable Valley’s Sultan Sikandar get an interception on the

very next play.

Clay would have another interception in the second half. The red zone defensive play for both teams was fantastic, keeping the final score to a combined 22 points.

The winning play was a nail-biter on both sides of the field. A ferocious wind had picked up and ice-cold rain had begun to fall.

The Patriots advanced to the Chiefs’ 3-yard line and attempted to run the ball in for the touchdown on fourth down but were unable to convert in the final minutes of the game.

Everyone held their breath when a flag was thrown; there was a defensive holding penalty against Saranac, giving the Patriots a first down on the Saranac 1-yard line.

Patriots Coach Heith Ford put in junior Mark Whitney, who had previously had only two carries for 4 yards in the game. Whitney punched it into the end zone to put AuSable Valley ahead.

The Patriots sealed their fate when they stopped the next Saranac drive with an interception from Brandon Snow with 11 seconds left in the game. ÒM y seniors came out to play football today,Ó said Ford. ÒT hey wanted to play at home one more time and it showed.Ó Ford said he was utterly proud of his athletes after their win this week. He described the fun he had to coach his Òs hining star sophomore at quarterback.Ó AuSable will play Saranac Lake at home on Nov. 1 at noon for the Section VII Class C championship.

On the hunt

The hunt begins

A

lthough the Adirondack woodlands remain primarily brown and damp, the Big Game Hunting Season is now in full swing. While current conditions make the forest quiet, and tracks are difficult to read, there are plenty of enthusiastic hunters currently wandering the Big Woods.

At this time of year, it is important for all travelers to be aware of the Big Game season and to remember that darkness arrives early, and temperatures drop quickly after the sun goes down.

It is important to plan for a little extra time on the trail, and to wear warm, colorful clothing in case something goes wrong.

As always, carry the essentials including a headlamp and extra batteries. Remember it gets dark earlier now, and temperatures drop rapidly after sunset.

Cell phones, GPS units and similar, electronic navigation devices are only as good as the batteries that power them.

There are also a lot of the Adirondack back country, where there is no cell coverage. Be safe, smart, and always carry a paper map and compass.

It’s also wise to tell someone where you’ll be traveling and when you expect to return, regardless of your choice of outdoor pursuits.

Why we hunt

There have been volumes of literature written to explain the age-old question of why people still engage in such consumptive outdoor sporting endeavors as fishing and hunting.

It is an especially vexing question for those who have never experienced the wild harvest, whether it was a fish, a frog or a whitetail buck.

We all come into this world the same way, and no one is a born outdoorsman. However, there are a few lucky who are born into an outdoor family.

In reality, we are all outdoor families, and we are attracted to nature by our own nature.

Although we are genetically disposed to spend time outdoors, nobody simply wakes up one morning and declares; Ò I think I’m going to become an outdoorsman today.”

It’s not that easy and it simply doesn’t work that way. While it may seem outdoor travel is instinctual, we all need to learn it from someone, whether a father, an Uncle or another adult.

Despite the fact that hunter numbers have continued to diminish over the years, numerous studies provide evidence of the rich benefits of the outdoor life.

Renowned archer, Fred Bear explained the process, Ò When a hunter is in a tree stand with high moral values and with the proper hunting ethics and richer for the experience, that hunter is 20 feet closer to God.Ó Aldo Leopold, author of Sand Country Almanac offered this description. Ò A particular virtue of wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than a mob of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact.Ó Physicians and educators now agree, Ò Children who spend time in an outdoor environment behave better, have longer attention spans, and often exhibit increased self-confidence and express a more positive self-image.

Further studies suggest Ò a meaningful engagement with nature as a child has a direct correlation with involvement in environmental issues in the future, which should be of great interest as communities look for the next generation of environmental leaders.Ó Additional research reveals that Ò spending time in the open air and learning outside has also proven to increase students’ ability to think creatively and improve problem-solving skills.Ó There is also considerable evidence that Ò outdoor adventure programs can impact positively on young people’s attitudes, beliefs and self-perceptions.Ó Benefits include “an increase in self-concept domains such as independence, confidence, self-efficacy, and self-understanding.Ó Time outdoors also results in Ò an increase in personality dimensions such as assertiveness, emotional stability, achievement motivation, internal focus of control, and reductions in aggression and neurosis. It was also shown to improve mental strength and interpersonal dimensions such as social competence, co-operation and interpersonal communication skills.Ó

For the human psyche, any amount of time spent in a natural environment is far more valuable than a comparable duration of indoor time, with the exclusion of course of the time spent in camp.

In fact, the camaraderie and regular tomfoolery of camp life is likely one of the most overlooked aspects the sporting life. It is an experience that provides great stress relief, offers welcome companionship and delivers a host of other positive benefits, including personal responsibility, punctuality and of course, compassion, communication and freedom.

Hunting camp is a most unique location, where men become boys again, and boys can become men.

Sadly, less than 8 percent of the nation’s population currently participates in this most traditional of all activities, even though it has been proven to sharpen our senses, steel our resolve, improve our memory and hone our innate predatory skills.

And best of all, while engaged in the process of learning those skills and activities, newcomers learn to understand the ethics of fair chase and shared space.

Hunters gain concrete experience with matters of fairness and honesty, reality and death, as well as life and good health.

It is important that such matters are passed along.

Nothing they have read or that others have said can properly prepare them for the experience. There is a unique and undeniable change that comes over a person at the conclusion of a harvest.

It comes in the form of a new reality that is achieved only when we are far removed from typical human interactions. It is the ultimate responsibility and with it; they learn to respect peers, animals and the land as well.

Despite fears that are often voiced regarding hunter/hiker conflicts, there is no record of a hunting related shooting incident involving a hiker.

Since the 1960s, New York’s hunting incident rate has fallen by over 75 percent, and there were fewer than 20 hunting accidents reported in 2013.

In fact, the majority (14) of hunting accidents occurring in 2013 were self-inflicted.

The continued decline of such incidents provides further evidence that the current generation of New York hunters is among the safest to ever to take to the woods. The wise use of Hunter Orange clothing and gear; is likely to continue the steady decline in hunting incidents and related injuries.

According to national statistics, there are far more hunting related fatalities that are a result of cold water shock, hypothermia and drowning than from all of the firearm related mishaps.
