Local freshman preps to follow Olympic dream Dani Bryant to spend winter on the luge track; hosting fundraiser Oct. 24

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — When many bemoan the changing of the leaves and falling temperatures, Dani Bryant is ready to take to the track.

The tracks are located in North Elba, as well as Park City, Utah; and Calgary, Alberta.

That is because Bryant’s sport is luge, an event that requires one to slide down a bobsled track lying on their backs.

Bryant started in the sport as part of a slider’s search in Lake Placid.

“There were kids from all over the country,” Bryant said of her summer 2014 tryout.

“After the camp was over, I was asked if I was interested in going further.”

In January, she started going up to the Mt. Vanhoevenburg sliding track, where she would practice, leading to the Empire State Games, where she slid to a sixth place finish.

Her sliding career continued to progress with an invitation to join the D-Team, a junior development team.

“I was able to spend a week at the Olympic Training Center and is was very fun,” Bryant said. “From there, I went to a selection camp and made the junior candidate team.”

Starting in November and running through March, Bryant will be competing in races on the three North American tracks with other developmental sliders. >> Story Continued | pg. 7

Supers boost ballot security Absentee ballots will be transported from post office to county complex in locked bag

In debate, judge candidates spar over policy, experience

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Judge Richard Meyer, seeking to rattle his challenger, Brian Barrett, questioned his experience at a debate last week in Elizabethtown.

“Are you claiming you have more trial experience than me?” Meyer asked Barrett, citing a news report in which Barrett said the

best candidate for the job should be based on trial experience.

“In the 10 years I’ve been on the bench, I’ve had many, many trials — too many to court,” said Meyer, citing his decade spent on the job presiding over criminal, family and surrogate’s courts.

Before that, Meyer worked in private practice and as the county attorney. >> Story Continued | pg. 3

ELIZABETHTOWN — Ahead of next month’s general election, Essex County lawmakers have voted to tighten up the chain of possession for absentee ballots.

A locked bag will now be used to transport the ballots from the Elizabethtown Post Office to the Essex County Government Center, which is located right behind the facility, separated by a thin copse of trees.

Supervisor Gerald Morrow said he called the special session after concerns started trickling back to him about security.

Typically, mail is picked up by county workers each morning and brought to the mailroom. Material from the board of elections is placed in a locked box and retrieved by a pair of deputies, one from each political party.

The room and hallways are monitored by security cameras.

Despite these measures, some are concerned about potential holes.

Harry Gough, who attended the session with several other citizens, said he knew of at least three absentee ballots that were sent in 2013 but never counted.

“We don’t know of any absentee ballots that weren’t returned to us,” said Republican Election Commissioner Allison McGahay. “Our county employees do an excellent job with the security of ballots.”

The manila envelopes containing absentee ballots have no marks that could identify voters, a policy McGahay implemented after taking office in Feb. 2013.

Both the return address and destination address is to the Board of Elections.

While the board sends out absentee ballots, it’s up to the voter to opt to return them.

Both McGahay and her counterpart, Mark Whitney, said the system worked well and approved the increased security measures.

“I would fully support idea of a locked bag,” said McGahay.

Clerk debate exposes divide between experience, role of office

Ahead of next month’s election, candidates face off in Elizabethtown debate

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A debate between Essex County Clerk Joseph Provoncha and his challenger, Luke Hudak, exposed deep contrasts in how the two view the role of the office — As a government agency responsible for generating revenue or a streamlined operation with a limited scope.

Generating revenue is an important part of the office, said Provoncha.

The imposition of an additional tax on the mortgage tax allowed the county to bankroll a $6 million jail facility without raising the levy, said Provoncha, while an additional tax on the transfer tax is aiding the county as it pays off their recently completed $17 million digital radio system.

The office also contributes $750,000 to the county’s general fund.

“My department pays for itself,” Provoncha said.

Hudak argued that raising revenue has not historically been part of that office’s job.

“I don’t think it should be a choice or prerogative of the county clerk or that office to specifically raise funds from county or the taxpayers in that county,” said Hudak.

Hudak, a first-time candidate, said that the office should instead focus on being efficient with the money that does come in through mandated services.

“What can we do in this county to make our government more efficient to provide effective service and to improve the systems that already exist?” he said.

Provoncha, a Republican, has served for 24 years and has shepherded the office through the digitization of records, the installation of an indexing computer system and the launch of a satellite DMV office in Ticonderoga.

Under his leadership, he noted, the county became the third in the state to implement the electronic filing of court proceedings; work is also underway to digitize deeds from as far back as 1799 and list them in a searchable database.

Hudak conceded Provoncha has done well at making records available to the public. But more work can always been done to guarantee transparency, he said.

And while the candidate also admitted that he doesn’t have the institutional knowledge of the incumbent, Hudak said he has been successful in the private sector at budgeting and management, citing three promotions in his decade spent in the workforce, one at each job.

At one point, Hudak directly asked Provoncha why the office has grown despite having a flat population since 1990.

Provoncha acknowledged that while the office has

grown to 14 from 12 since he took office in 1992, the number will decrease — unfortunately, he added — as technology takes over.

The candidates also largely agreed on several points.

Both agreed that the state tax law is problematic — in response to a question from an audience member, Hudak said he couldn’t justify how a mortgage tax isn’t a tax on county residents, while Provoncha called the land tax “regressive” — and both said the county will eventually have to implement elements of the SAFE Act that were originally supposed to be executed by the state.

Hudak, who is running as a Democrat, also noted that the clerk’s office will likely have to confront how the expected hike in minimum wage in New York will affect county departments and businesses.

“Even if it doesn’t affect government workers, it will have a major impact on the citizens of this county,” said Hudak.

Provoncha said the office has a long road ahead to save the DMV as the state pushes for people to procure documents online, a measure that carves the county out of the loop.

He pushed residents to renew their passports and licenses locally.

“Keep the county clerk’s office alive and well as we are there to serve you.”

Hudak said the election comes down to choice.

“Without sounding overly glib or overly cheesy, we’re also in here all Americans.

I think it’s really important when we go into the voter’s booth on Nov. 3, we have a choice on the ballot,” he said.

The debate, which was sponsored by Sun Community News on Thursday at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, came as voters prepare to head to the polls on Nov. 3.

Chairman, said he looked into the issue at the request of Bethany Kosmider, his Democratic counterpart.

Gillilland hashed out the agreement with the postmaster.

“We need to close any window of accusation there,” he said.

Kosmider later called the update “long overdue.”

“I think that it’s the only way to see the mail is secure,” said Kosmider.

Gillilland was easy to work with, she said.

“We didn’t want the perception of wrongdoing for anyone.”

The 10 lawmakers present at the special meeting voted unanimously for the upgrade.

The new policy is scheduled to go into effect on Tuesday.

Judge debate << Continued from | p. 1

The judge said Barrett, a Lake Placid-based defense attorney, only had two jury trials in his courtroom, nor has he appeared in his family or surrogate’s courts.

Barrett disputed this, arguing that he has appeared in both. The candidate also noted he has had a number of trials brought to verdict in both state and federal court in his 11 years as an attorney.

This experience is significantly different than Meyer’s specialty in civil litigation, he said.

“What we’re dealing with here are human service cases,” said Barrett.

The debate in Elizabethtown marked the first time the candidates met on stage since declaring their candidacies in January. It’s been a campaign marked with stark differences with how the two view the role of the courts and how to preside over a remote and rural region.

Despite ethical guidelines limiting what the candidates could discuss — specific critiques of each candidate’s record in the courtroom were largely avoided — there was no shortage of thrusts and jabs, including on Essex County’s policy of assigning outside lawyers to family court cases instead of public defenders, who are tasked with handling only criminal cases.

Many of these lawyers are located outside of the county, noted Barrett.

“This is literally pumping money out of our county which would otherwise be spent here,” said the candidate in his opening statement.

Meyer said with over 700 cases per year in family court, making up some 70 percent of the court’s caseload, there simply aren’t enough lawyers in Essex County to meet the demand.

Only 13 have applied and asked to be assigned these cases, said Meyer.

“My opponent, unfortunately, is not one of them.”

The assigned counsel program, which is mandated by the state, operates based on an agreement between the Essex County Board of Supervisors and the Essex County Bar Association, said Meyer.

Attorneys are paid $75 per hour plus expenses, a rate that is set by the state.

“I wish there were more Essex County attorneys who would take cases — but that’s not the reality,” said Meyer.

There is no information to suggest that assigning counsel outside of the county costs more than inside, Meyer said.

“There’s no evidence to suggest that at all.”

Barrett said he has worked in counties across the state.

The public defender’s office in both Franklin and St. Lawrence counties handle family court cases, said Barrett.

“I don’t know what rule Judge Meyer was citing, but at least I’m seeing that happen in other counties,” he said. “Do I think

www.suncommunitynews.com

it could happen here? Yes, I think it would be a great savings to the taxpayers of Essex County.”

The two also sparred over specialty courts.

Barrett said while drug and veterans treatment courts have their bright spots, he questioned if the benefits justified taxpayer cost if very few people completed those programs.

Meyer countered that even once success story results in money well spent.

“It’s not the number of people in it, it’s what we do for our veterans,” said Meyer.

Meyer and Barrett disagreed on how active the court should be in shaping policy.

Meyer said judges have almost no role in doing so — policies are set by the Office of Court Administration — while Barrett said, if elected, he would like the court to be a stronger voice for advocacy.

The candidates also sounded off on transparency.

“I would like to be a judge that is approachable,” said Barrett, “one who will listen to ideas on both ideas of issues.”

If elected, Barrett said his courtroom would be media friendly. Meyer said while his courtroom is always open to the public, it is not the job of judge to be a public relations person.

And in a rare agreement, both questioned the misconception that family court favors the mother.

“The best interests of the children lie in having them nurtured and guided by both parents and there is no preference, in custody cases, for one parent over the other,” Meyer said, calling the question from an audience member one that is based on false premises.

When parents first come in, the court tries to establish a schedule. But there are many factors in trying to work out a 50-50 split, including residence, travel times and work schedules.

Barrett agreed there is no blanket policy: “Whatever’s in the best interest of the kids,” he said.

Barrett said his parents divorced when he was 18 months old.

“I kind of consider myself a product of family court a little bit and I bring the child’s perspective to the court,” he said.

In his opening comments, Meyer recounted a humble background.

His grandfather emigrated from Poland to Manhattan’s Lower East Side as a teenager, where he sold items from a cart and worked in sweatshops. Eventually, he found his way to Lake Placid.

When Meyer’s father returned from World War II, he moved to Port Henry and opened a chain of pharmacies. Meyer, who attended Saranac Lake High, worked his way through college performing a series of menial jobs, including washing dishes at the student dining hall.

After law school, he married and put down roots in the community.

“Despite my size, I also coached JV basketball,” he quipped.

If re-elected, Meyer said he would continue to be impartial and fair to all of those who enter his courtroom.

Barrett instead focused on his vision for the county, delivering a modified version of his stump speech, including a pledge: “I have no desire to run for supreme court or to seek any higher judicial office than I am running for now,” said Barrett, indirectly referring to Meyer’s stint as Acting Supreme Court Judge.

To illustrate what he said was broad appeal, the candidate cited a series of endorsements from former New York State Police Troop B Com-

mander Maj. Peter Person, the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association and United Steelworkers Local 5 and 497.

If elected, Barrett said he would be non-partisan.

“There’s only the right, fair and objective way,” said Barrett.

Barrett asked Meyer what advice he had for him should he emerge victorious at the polls on Nov. 3.

“Come to the job with passion, committed to hard work and long hours,” said Meyer.

Meyer is running on the Republican and Reform Lines; Barrett, on the Democratic line. The two are engaged in litigation over the Conservative line on the ballot. At present, the vote is tied 46-46.

We’re Broke!

I struggled listening to the first Democratic Presidential Debate last week.

Knowing the national debt now stands at $18.4 trillion dollars and growing, it’s hard to imagine how they could continue to discuss expanding free give away programs.

What’s even harder to understand is why audience was clapping when they proposed them.

It seems that too many of the candidates from both of the parties are racing to the extreme edges of their political beliefs in order to earn the nomination. Conventional wisdom in the past dictates they move back to the middle to win the election. I think that process is just one of the reasons why the electorate is so disgusted with politics today.

If they really want their candidates to be far left or far right then it’s understandable why they are so disappointed when their candidate fails to deliver once elected. The reality we must come to grips with is this nation can’t survive if it’s all far left or far right. The politicians recognize this once they are in office, but why do we as a people allow these foolish promises to swing public opinion so wildly, creating expectations when we know these promises are not always realistic?

Growing up it was my understanding that this nation was made up of self made, self motivated, free spirited people. It’s what made us unique and the envy of the world that we enjoyed the freedom to be anything we wanted to be.

So with a people who know what they want and are willing to go out and earn it on their own, why do we need the government to give us things that only serve to diminish our own personal drive?

Let’s take college for example. All the candidates on stage last week pushed the notion that free tuition for public college should be provided by the government.

I know many people who are skilled with their hands and are very happy with the lives they have made for themselves without the college degree.

There are many important trades that provide a valuable need in society but the sense of achievement from building a successful career and finding purpose in ones life can’t be purchased nor supplied by another.

Towns should explore hiring financial managers

I

t sounds like a caper.

Employees shuffling funds between accounts. Public funds being used as piggy banks. Sloppy payrolls, overextended accounts, vanished cash and misappropriated taxpayer money.

It’s not a movie script, but rather what goes on in the halls of your local government.

Sometimes.

Most towns in the North Country have been visited by auditors from the state comptroller’s office. For months, these agents pry up the stones and look for worms.

While some towns have proven to be in better financial shape than others, none of them are perfect.

We commend the state for keeping local governments on their toes and pushing them to implement better internal controls over their finances.

Despite the severity of some of these reports, most of these mistakes seem innocent enough: More often than not, the fiscal problems that arise in town halls across the state are due to negligence and, at worst, gross incompetence — not nefarious schemes.

But aside from the loss of taxpayer funds, the lingering clouds that follow audits are often worse: Vitriol. Whisper campaigns. Mistrust of town government.

It’s all poison in these small communities and it dissuades people from seeking office.

And it gets us to thinking that there must be a better way to do things.

While the buck stops with town supervisors, the elected officials who serve as chief financial officers, town clerks also play critical roles.

Let’s zoom out.

Clerks, who are elected by the public, are responsible for issuing licenses and permits. They post notices, file reports with county and state agencies and keep public records.

Those are their prescribed tasks.

In many cases, they have no formal training and have stepped up to the plate out of a sense of civic loyalty.

Some play double duty, acting as tax collectors.

We all wear many hats in the North Country and understand the need to multi-task.

But we also understand the flurry of paperwork that accompanies tax season, one that becomes a blizzard in this era of caps, rebate checks and increasingly confusing gimmicks from the state.

Paired with the already rickety situation in many of our local town offices, it’s no surprise that the nuts and bolts of everyday duties get lost in the mix — tasks like accounting for dump tickets and charging folks accurately for their water bills.

Despite the innocuousness of their errors, let’s be clear: This waste is unfair to taxpayers, even if the dollar amounts are relatively low.

Would you trust someone with no financial training to handle your investment portfolio?

Didn’t think so.

We shouldn’t expect anything less from our town officials.

Towns need to start thinking outside the box when it comes to financial planning.

We like the idea of a town manager.

Unlike tax collectors and clerks, who are elected, this would be an appoint-

ed position.

A quick pursual of town law seems to indicate that towns in New York have the ability to establish this office and anoint the officeholder with powers and responsibilities, including those transferred from other officials.

Let’s play with a hypothetical situation: Residents of Anywhere, Essex County opt to establish the position through a permissive referendum.

The board then hires a town manager, someone with a CFA, who then takes over budget-drafting and financial planning from the supervisor and some responsibilities from the clerk.

While both the clerk and supervisor will retain their duties, the majority of the wonky stuff can be left to the professional.

Meanwhile, the supervisor is freed up to tackle other issues, like county work, which they are obligated to do as members of the board of supervisors.

This system might help zap fiscal mismanagement as well as aid in longterm planning, including the navigation of sticky maelstroms like unfunded mandates and skyrocketing health insurance costs.

Removing town managers from elected politics may also ensure a sense of stability, particularly during administration changes, as well as insure them from nasty, small town skuttlebutt.

Another task for the town manager — Locating and applying for grants. The ability to do so is a skill that is becoming highly lucrative as local control is being sucked away in favor of depending on the state for what should be run-of-the-mill infrastructure improvements.

Grants are now critical spokes on the wheel of local governance, from repairing water filtration plants to providing services that, once sacrosanct, are now in jeopardy — youth programs, libraries, ambulance squads.

You name it, nothing is safe under the tax cap.

We admit that it seems impractical in this era of fiscal austerity for town boards to create a new position, especially one that comes with a salary and benefits.

But we can’t help but feel that a position will pay for itself over time in taxpayer money that wouldn’t be misspent.

We encourage town boards to at least discuss the idea.

On Common Ground fights suicide

No need proposed sales, property tax increases

To the Editor: On Common Ground is a bullying and suicide prevention program in Essex County. We have extensively researched and been trained in these two topics. We tour our original skit titled “A Change of Heart” throughout the area.

As much as we appreciated your recent article on suicide prevention awareness on Sept. 9, we have concerns regarding some of the language that was used. Specialists in the field of suicide prevention no longer use the phrase “committed suicide”, rather they use “died by suicide” indicating how a person died, not that an offense of some kind was committed.

Suicide is not a “deed”, as it was referred to in the article. A deed is usually something that is written on a to-do list that is crossed off when completed.

“Boast” is defined as “to talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about ones’ achievements”. High suicide rates are not an achievement and citizens should not feel pride toward something so tragic.

Again, your efforts are appreciated, and it’s great that individuals are becoming more aware of suicide prevention efforts. You may contact us at Moriah Central School if you would like further information.

To the Editor: Our local elected officials are proposing to demand of the State that the 2 percent tax cap be lifted and simultaneously considering an increase in the local sales tax. Without these tax increases they say they have no choice but to cut jobs and eliminate services. I say do not believe it.

The 2 percent tax cap is about fiscal discipline. In order to meet it, it requires a change in how our elected officials operate. This is what they really find difficult. Without additional taxes, they have trouble funding their system and the political machine. Without additional taxes, they would need to keep an eagle’s eye on expenses.

One just needs to read through the Warrensburg town board meeting minutes and see request after request for non-essential items approved and ask if this represents fiscal discipline. Look at the Town of Warrensburg’s practice of awarding contracts to sole bidders resulting in the town paying over $100,000 for a roof and windows and ask if this is a right way of doing things.

FOIL a few invoices at the County level and ask if paying over $700 for office chairs and $1400 for desks represents fiscal discipline. Look at the commissions paid out for a recent purchase of some IT equipment. A purchase that paid out thousands over retail for equipment that is obsolete in 2016 and ask if this is the right way of doing things.

When these practices stop, when we see a true change in how our elected officials operate I believe the tax cap and current sales tax levels would not be nearly the burden that our elected officials claim they are.

Essex Bed Tax Expansion, is it legal?

To the Editor: Essex County has gone ahead and expanded their bed tax to include essentially any rented property. I am not an attorney but common sense says there may be a legal issue regarding the expansion.

I live in Franklin County and have a seasonal rental property there.

Franklin County has been pursuing a bed tax for the first time and therefore I have been following the issue closely and done a good deal of research.

Franklin County also had intended to go after all rentals in their recently passed bill, but I pointed out at a public hearing that they had wording in their bill that excludes most private property rentals.

From what I have learned, in order for a local government to enact local tax legislation like this they must first get permission from the state legislature That legislation specifies what can be taxed. The local government is limited to the state passed legislation. The local government may not expand the definition beyond what is allowed by the state.

In the case of Essex County that state legislation says: “For the purposes of this section, the term “hotel” or “motel” shall mean and include any facility providing lodging on an overnight basis and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as “bed and breakfast” and “tourist” facilities.”

On the other hand the recently passed Essex County legislation says: “Any facility providing lodging on an overnight basis and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as, bed and breakfast, inns, cabins, condominiums, cottages, campgrounds, lodges, tourist homes, convention centers, vacation rentals, motor courts, boarding houses, lake cottages, personal residences or similar type of accommodations by whatever name designated.”

Certainly sounds like an expansion beyond what the enabling legislation allows or intends. Also consider an e-mail that State Senator Betty Little sent me regarding the state passed legislation, in which she says, “Private homes that rent by the week would not be subject to this tax.”. Add in that even the state has been excluded by an Administrative Law Judge from collecting sales tax from private homes that even rent for less than a week.

If anyone affected by this tax expansion in Essex County decides to challenge its legality it will be up to the courts to determine if the county has gone too far. If I had a rental property in Essex County I would be gathering with friends and others who have properties affected by this law and consulting my attorney.

In my own case, higher education wasn’t my first thought when I was growing up. I really didn’t know what I wanted from life, but my father made it clear I was going to go to college; End of discussion.

My father would co-sign with me for a college tuition loan, but there was also no doubt, I would be the one who would pay back that loan, education earned or not. After two years it was clear, that college wasn’t for me. I wanted to join the workforce and was confident in my abilities to succeed. He was very upset, but a year later after I had risen in the ranks, he proudly gave me his approval.

I, like many others, believe we are living the American Dream. That’s a feeling no one can provide to another regardless how well meaning their intentions may be. It must be earned through hard work, personal sacrifice and drive to achieve whatever your version of the American Dream may be.

Our government leaders need to have faith in our people who have always risen to the challenge. Easy isn’t what built this country. America has been crafted one life at a time and one size does not fit all.

Americans struggle, Congress does fine To the Editor: At a time when many Americans are struggling with things like buying food and health care our members of Congress are doing just fine. In 2015 the House Speaker’s salary is $223,500 and House Majority and Minority leaders receive $193,400. Those who are only plain Congressmen and women receive only $174,000 for their hard work making things worse for the average American. These salaries are topped off with huge expense accounts and benefits taxpayers can only dream about. While those on Social Security will receive no increase in 2016 our Congress may get a $3,000 COLA if the coming budget is approved. There are even those in Congress who want to increase their base salaries because they say expenses have increased! According to published reports “The median net worth for a member of Congress in 2013 was over $1 million, and a majority of members are millionaires!” Many entered Congress having salaries of under $50,000 a year and by their second term they were millionaires. Am I the only American who feels something is amiss? Many have spent their careers over the past several years doing nothing but voting against health care and to shut down our government costing us taxpayers billions. Now they want to take away our Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as they squander our tax dollars. Several of those running for President in 2016 have made this part of their “Dream for America” and like Pied Pipers they have a following.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Perspective Gordie Little

P

erspective.” It’s among my favorite words.

Others are serendipity and love.

As I scrolled through messages on a social site, I came to one that read, “We all see things differently. Let’s celebrate each other’s unique perspective on the world.” It was credited to Salvador Dali. I’m quite certain he never uttered or wrote that little saying, but his work indicates that he felt that way.

He was my kind of guy— walking through life off the beaten path; outside the box. If you don’t know his work, learn about it; look at his paintings and enjoy his “unique perspective.” I love watches, but I don’t have any that are melted like his.

I spend a lot of time talking to both children and adults about my left-handed philosophy. I invite them to walk with me off the main roads, through the apple orchards, across the streams and into the future, paying careful attention to things that are extraordinary while marching to a different drummer.

The other night, as we were relaxing in our separate easy chairs, I looked over at Kaye and began to quote a cherished poem: “The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat..” I have no clue why that popped into my head or leaped onto my lips. She is used to that kind of thing from me and instantly responded: “They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note.”

We were stuck after that, so I let my fat fingers do the walking and found the original: “The Owl looked up to the stars above, and sang to a small guitar..” She smiled as I read all three verses aloud and we laughed together. We do that often. “I can see all his illustrations in my mind as you read it,” she said.

I wish I could have met Edward Lear to learn what inspired this poem and the others in his book “Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany and Alphabets.” He explained that he penned them for his best friend’s three-yearold daughter and her mother.

I love words and have written about Lear’s use of the “runcible spoon,” made up out of whole cloth, just for this poem.

Kaye and I are fortunate to have grown up at a time where we were exposed at an early age to such things as Edward Lear’s “nonsense.” Look around the room and see if everyone else with you knows about “The Owl and the Pussycat.” I’ll wager that most under the age of 30 have never heard of it. And, isn’t that sad?

It’s time we bring back all the old books and nursery rhymes from our youth so those that come after us can likewise be delighted as we all celebrate our unique perspectives.

Bryant << Continued from | p. 1

Dani Bryant was part of the Port Henry Labor Day Parade in September.

For Bryant, spending the winter on a bobsled track is in her blood.

“My dad (Dan Bryant) did skeleton and my brother and sister did bobsled,” she said. “It was kind of my turn and I wanted to do something on my own. Also, I wasn’t too sure I wanted to go down the track head-first.”

Dan Bryant started racing skeleton at 29 years old with his first competition being held in Winterburg, West Germany in 1982. He raced World Cup for 17 years throughout the world, eventually coaching various teams from Japan and Iraq, through the Federation of International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Teams (FIBT).

He also coached Jimmy Shea to his gold medal victory at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002, less than a month after Shea’s grandfather was killed in a traffic accident involving a drunk driver.

Brother Blaise competed on the Jr. Bobsled team until he turned 18, at which time he graduated from Moriah Central School and attended the College of St. Rose, where he earned his de-

gree in journalism and communications.

Sister Joy started her training at the OTC (Olympic Training Center) in Lake Placid for the National USA Luge Team and continued on to race with the Jr. World Cup Skeleton Team. Joy has raced on various tracks around the world, including Salt Lake City, Utah; Innsbruck, Austria; St. Moritz, Switzerland; and Altenburg, Germany. She most recently retired from her career of after attending the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia as a representative of Energy Bits.

“We want her to have fun as an athlete, yet be very serious when it comes to training for as long as this lasts,” said Bryant’s parents, Dan Bryant and Brenda C. Baker. “We are fully aware that things can change on a dime. She has an opportunity to see some of the world, and represent her town, state and country. We are extremely proud of her and cannot thank the community enough for all of the support they have shown to her.”

Fundraising needed

However, Bryant needs to raise funds for the season.

“Nothing in Luge is paid for,” she said. “We have to raise quite a bit of money for the season.”

To help, Bryant and her family will be hosting an auction to support her endeavors at the Port Henry Knights of Columbus Saturday, Oct. 24, starting at 9 a.m.

A great variety of items will be auctioned off, with the preview starting at 9 a.m. and auction starting at 10 a.m. with payments by cash or check.

All this, she hopes, will help lead her to the ultimate dream.

“I would love to get to the World Cup and Olympic level.”

ON THE COVER: Dani Bryant will compete in several luge events this winter, following in the footsteps of her father, Dan, and siblings Blaise and Joy. Photo provided

THE LARGEST SOURCE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.

“These are smaller races then the World Cup or Olympics,” Bryant said. “I hope to have fun and make it a great experience this winter, one I am very excited for.”

Bryant will receive emails from her teachers while she is away, while being supplied a tutor.

“My friends are excited for me but also sad because I will be gone,” she said. “I will email with my teachers and have the tutor in Lake Placid.”

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett

Opening Day

A

s the first snow of season continues to dusts the High Peaks, Autumn has taken full command of the land. I always enjoy getting out at this time of year to take in the season’s cool, breezy winds, which come tainted with a heady mix of decaying leaves, and woodsmoke.

October has a unique scent, which beckons all sportsmen and women to step outside. While the Fall season initially provides a spectacular display of fiery technicolor foliage, it will soon morph into a mellow, yellow patchwork of birch,

poplar and evergreens and the looming conclusion of foliage season.

As the wind and rain begin to strip away the remaining foliage from the hillsides, the thick, dark forests will gradually open up to hunters. The process always results in a natural transformation of the hills and valleys, while a series of corresponding social adjustments will take place in the local towns and villages, where the question, “Didja’ get your’s yet?” will again be considered a proper greeting.

By mid-November, it will be difficult to find a local tradesman that’s available to fix a squeaky door, or repair a leaky faucet. As the �rut’ grows near sportsmen, and women will put all other matters aside, as they take to the woods in pursuit of whitetails. Although hunting has traditionally been considered primarily a male pursuit, female hunters have largely been responsible for filling the steadily diminishing ranks of the hunting fraternity in recent years.

Yes, it’s true. Lady’s do hunt. It’s no longer exclusively a �man’s game, as evidenced by the increasing number of newcomers to the hunt. Statistics show a 36 percent increase in women hunters since 2001, with over 70.6 million dollars spent on women’s hunting licenses since 2009.

Rookies welcome, Veterans willing to learn Although every human being is born with a natural compulsion to hunt, we have learned to temper these instinctive behaviors as civilization progressed.

Unfortunately, without the opportunity to hone these inherent hunting skills and abilities with regular practice and training; our skills have Cool evenings, and the warm morning air combine to create heavy fog in the valleys, which can limit a hunter’s largely atrophied.

he campers have rolled out, and the beach people are heading south to warmer sands. Fall is coming. For some it is a sad event. For others, well, we welcome fall; the change of colors, the cool stream waters with spawning trout, salmon, and steelhead following up.

Then of course, there’s fall hunting season.

Pheasant and grouse are favorites for bird hunters. High brass loads, the smell of gun powder and a bulge in the back of your hunting vest game bag are what we enjoy! Then there is the sound of the pump! Sweet soul

Watching a hunting dog work and flushing a bird is the real thrill of bird hunting. Taking a bird is second. Seeing the smile on a dog’s face when he is out doing what nature meant, is what a day in the field is all about.

Taking your favorite hunting buddy along, flushing birds and enjoying the full moon rise over a grassy field after an afternoon’s hunt is something you remember all your life.

Choosing what to do that day is a challenge. There is fly fishing and bird hunting, while whitetail deer and bear also rival for our time.

The streams are starting to shutter from the backs and fins of fish heading from the lake to the streams, in search of spawning gravels.

skill; if you don’t use it, you loose it.

Whether we like it or not, humans are predators by design, with eyes that set on the front of our head, with ears on the side. Our teeth are intended to tear and chew meat, and our digestive system is capable of processing it.

While we continue to practice the skills of stalking and capturing prey, it typically occurs at a very young age. In fact, the vast majority of humans no longer have possess either the skills, or the knowledge to fully utilize our natural, predatory design.

Most of the childhood games we all played, including Clench a Wench, Red Rover, Hide and Seek, Tag, Blind Man’s Bluff and Capture the Flag have been around for centuries.

Initially, these games were intended to hone our natural predatory, stalking and hunting skills. If I paid more attention in Kindergarten, I’d probably be a much better hunter today. Many of those lessons focused on how to pay attention, and sit still, quietly, without looking all around or fidgeting in your seat. In hindsight, the lessons were all applicable to hunting.

On the Hunt Although hunters have been out in the woods for several weeks already, hunting with a variety of longbows, compound bows, crossbows and an assortment of muzzleloaders, breechloaders and freeloaders; I’ve had only a few reports of deer being taken. I expect the tables will turn, when the Regular Big Game season begins at sunrise Saturday, Oct. 24.

Pools fill with fish, waiting for the rains to show them the way up, upstream to clean gravel where they make their reeds and create new life. Life goes on!

Trout and salmon, swinging flies and down time on a stream or lake side makes a person healthy and calm. Hooking into a nice fish and seeing the marvel of nature, the colors and patterns of a rainbow, brookie, brown or salmon are something even an artist tries to mimic!

Fall’s colors, whether it is a maple leaf, a misty morning rainbow or Oncorhynchus mykiss, it’s why we rise early; to see the day wake up. It’s something a morning person understands.

Putting on a pack and heading out into the woods with a 700 .270 rifle, full pack to get you through the day and wander lust in the soul while on the search is truly freedom!

Maybe it’s a wilderness camp site you will spend a day to two at, or even longer, it will be home for the woods wise. Camp fire smoke, meals over a fire and wool coats. Yea, Life is good!

Fish, fowl and deer or bear steaks can all be on an outdoors menu this fall.

The beach people will be sipping cocktails in the sun under an umbrella, while we will be having a stream cooled beer after the hunt.

Sitting on a tailgate with a bird or two and a smiling puppy, or up in the woods sitting by the fireside after a long days hunt, it doesn’t matter. We are free!

When the cold winter winds blow, it’s minus 10 degrees outside, maybe then we will become beach folk for a week or two. Sitting in the southern sun or under the umbrella sipping a cocktail or two in February is OK with me.

Yea, life is good! We are Free!

Let the Section VII postseason begin!

Soccer, football playoff pairings set, more league and sectional titles to come

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

W

ith the changing of the leaves and shortening of the days, the Section VII championships are right around the corner.

The postseason began last week with the Section VII gymnastics championships, and were kicked into high gear this week with soccer and football playoffs under way.

Boys soccer The fields have been set for the Section VII boys soccer championships, with Plattsburgh High, Lake Placid and Northern Adirondack earning the top seeds in classes B through D, respectively.

Class B Preliminary games in Class B boys will take place Wednesday, Oct. 21, with fourth seed Saranac hosting fifth seed Beekmantown at 6 p.m. and third Northeastern Clinton hosting sixth Saranac Lake, also at 6 p.m.

The semifinals will take place Saturday, Oct. 24, at George Brendler Field in Chazy as PHS will play the Saranac/Beekmantown winner at 5 p.m., followed by the NCCS/Saranac Lake winner playing Peru, who returns back to Class B play after two seasons as a Class A school, at 7 p.m.

The semifinal winners will face off Friday, Oct. 30, 7 p.m. at Brendler Field.

Class C With Northern Adirondack dropping to Class D, top seed Lake Placid will face second seed AuSable Valley for the title Wednesday, Oct. 28, 7 p.m. at Plattsburgh High School.

Class D Northern Adirondack is the lone team to receive a bye in their first appearance in the Class D playoffs, ousting perennial top seed Chazy, who dropped down a line to the second

seed and will play seventh seed Willsboro Friday, Oct. 23, 3 p.m. at George Brendler Field.

Also on Oct. 23, the third seed Griffins of ElizabethtownLewis and Westport will face fifth seed Crown Point at Camp Dudley with a 3 p.m. kick off, while fourth seed Keene will play fifth seed Johnsburg/Schroon Lake, also at 3 p.m. at Keene Central School.

The Keene/Johnsburg winner will travel to Ellenburg to face Northern Adirondack in the Class D semifinals, scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27. The winners of the other two quarterfinal games will also square off that day, with the higher remaining seed hosting the contest and time to be announced.

The Class D championship game is scheduled to be played at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at Plattsburgh High School.

Girls soccer Northeastern Clinton, Northern Adirondack and Keene hold the top positions starting the sectional playoffs for the ladies.

Class B NCCS and Beekmantown will both receive first round byes, with quarterfinal games scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20, featuring third seed Saranac and sixth seed Saranac Lake (6 p.m., Saranac) along with fourth seed Peru and fifth seed Plattsburgh High (3 p.m., Peru).

The Peru/PHS winner will advance to the semifinals to play the top-seeded Cougars Friday, Oct. 23, 5 p.m. at George Brendler Field in Chazy, followed by the Saranac/Saranac Lake winner against the second-seeded Eagles at 7 p.m.

The Class B championship game will take place Friday, Oct. 30, 5 p.m. at Brendler Field.

Class C The Lady Bobcats will remain in Class C to defend their sectional title, and will await the winner of the Tuesday, Oct. 20 opening round game between the fourth seed Seton Catholic Knights and fifth seed Ticonderoga Sentinels (3 p.m., Seton Catholic).

The winner of that game will meet NAC Thursday, Oct. 22, 5 p.m. at Chazy, followed by a 7 p.m. game between second seed AuSable Valley and third seed Lake Placid.

The semifinal winners will meet at Plattsburgh High School Wednesday, Oct. 28, for a 5 p.m. kick off.

Class D Perhaps the most surprising part of the Class D girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playoffs is who will not be attending the ball.

Perennial Division III power Minerva/Newcomb opted not to bring its team to the sectional playoffs one year removed from a championship game appearance, while potential Cinderella Schroon Lake, the only team to earn a result against top seed Keene with a 0-0 draw in the final game of the regular season, decided not to try on the glass slippers.

As a result, Keene and second seed Chazy will have byes in the quarterfinal round while third seed Crown Point will host sixth seed Johnsburg Thursday, Oct. 22, at 3 p.m., while the fourth seed Lady Griffins of Westport/Elizabethtown-Lewis will host fifth seed Moriah at Camp Dudley, also at 3 p.m. Oct. 22.

The Crown Point/Johnsburg winner will face Chazy Monday, Oct. 26, 6 p.m. at George Brendler Field. Keene will host a 3 p.m. contest the same day against the winner of the Griffins/ Vikings quarterfinal contest.

The Class D title game will take place Saturday, Oct. 31, at Plattsburgh High School with an 11 a.m. kick.

Football While playing against Section II competition this week, the top two teams in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference have their sites set on a Halloween Eve thriller at AuSable Valley Central School.

The Moriah Vikings will take their 7-0 league record to AVCS as they will face the Ticonderoga Sentinels, whose only regular season loss came against the Vikings, to determine the Class D championship Friday, Oct. 30, 7 p.m.

In Class C, AuSable Valley and Saranac Lake will return to the sectional finals for the second year Saturday, Oct. 31.

Cross Country The CVAC championships in cross country will be held Saturday, Nov. 1, with the sectional championships taking place the following Friday, Nov. 6, at the Cobble Hill Golf Course in Elizabethtown.

Plattsburgh International Airport shows off expansion progress $55 million project scheduled to be completed by Oct. 2017

“By 2017, Plattsburgh International Airport will truly be an international airport,” said Garry Douglas, CEO and president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce.

“We expect this to be one of the greatest growth opportunities when it’s completed.”

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Last week, the Sun got a sneak peek at the Plattsburgh International Airport expansion.

As passengers boarded their flights and workers continued construction, Airport Manager Chris Kreig led a tour downstairs, upstairs and outside the new terminal.

“The whole premise behind the expansion is to address some of the constraints we have currently and provide options for future growth,” Kreig said. “It’s been pretty hectic.”

Since October 2014, Phase II of the $55 million expansion of the terminal has been taking place — taking it from about 30,000 square feet to 115,000 square feet.

Kreig shared the new additions passengers can expect in the terminal upon completion, including increased ticketing space to seven counters, self-service kiosks, additional baggage claim space, an expanded concourse area, dedicated facilities for concessions and office space for airport operations and security, along with stairs, an elevator and escalators up to the second level.

The new terminal will have our gates with three jetways initially and room for a fourth.

The Transportation Security Administration security checkpoint will be relocated from its current location downstairs on the first level to the second level with two lanes at the start and space for a third as the need arises.

OTHER EXPANSION DECISIONS In 2013, Plattsburgh International Airport started Phase I of its $55 million expansion project, doubling the amount of parking available at the airport to approximately 3,300 spaces, which they completed at the

end of 2014.

The last piece of the expansion project is the space for U.S. Customs and Border Protection clearance for international flights, which is now expected to be ready in July 2017.

Although the airport’s name is “Plattsburgh International Airport,” they do not currently have on-site customs to be an international airport. But after this expansion, they will be.

Specific destinations have not been revealed yet.

REASONING BEHIND EXPANSION The airport decided to expand for two reasons: capacity issues and future growth.

When the airport first opened in 2007, it started off with 40,000 enplanements, but the number grew by year — reaching 150,000 last year, which drastically exceeded the space available.

This increasing number led the Clinton County Legislature to start talking about the expansion. The plan was approved in 2013 and work started in the fall of 2014.

One of the initial goals was to expand the terminal in a way that they could address not only the space issues, but to plan for airline, air service, growth.

They hope to complete Phase II of the expansion by October 2017.

“There’s not one area of the original terminal that hasn’t been touched in this construction,” Kreig said. “It’s been a major undertaking for the community and the county.”

Since October 2014, Phase II of the $55 million expansion of the terminal has been taking place — taking it from about 30,000 square feet to 115,000 square feet.

Lake Placid Children’s Games team announced LAKE PLACID — Team Lake Placid was announced for the Innsbruck 2016 International Children’s Games, which take place in January 2016 in Austria.

From Monday, Jan. 11 to Jan. 16, the seventh International Children’s Winter Games will welcome approximately 1,000 competitors, coaches and staff from around 70 different cities. The aim of the Innsbruck 2016 International Children’s Games is to enable, develop and advance the meeting, understanding and friendship of student athletes from different countries around the world and to promote the Olympic ideal.

This major multi-sport event is designed for children aged 13 to 15 years. Since the first edition in 1968, there have been 49 Summer Games and six Winter Games. The International Children’s Games are officially recognized and supported by the International Olympic Committee, but – as with the Youth Olympic Games – are organized independently.

The catalyst that led to Lake Placid’s participation in the International Children’s Games was a discussion between Mr. Georg Spazier, CEO of the Innsbruck-Tirol Sports Legacy and Lake Placid delegates Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall and James McKenna, president of the Lake Placid CVB at the 2014 World Union of Olympic Cities Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland.

“This event is consistent with Lake Placid’s legacy of international sports, and a tremendous opCARS 2012 VW Beetle, excellent condition, 50,000 miles. $10,500 OBO. 518-873-6430.

portunity for our region’s youth,” said Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall. “We are happy to begin this relationship with the International Children’s Games and look forward to Lake Placid’s ongoing participation.”

Lake Placid’s city representative is Arthur Lussi. “Team Lake Placid’s participation at the games is meant to showcase regional athletes and develop youth ambassadors for the Lake Placid region,” said Lussi. “Team Lake Placid’s 18 athletes will compete in the sports of speed skating, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and freestyle skiing.”

Local Athletes selected include: Alpine skiing: Hugh Dempsey, Jake Reynolds, Aiden Smith, Inez Burkard, Andrea Reynolds, Chelsea Smith

nations were based on their competitive results, future sports potential and community citizenship. Each athlete submitted an application in which they wrote about how they could share their Innsbruck Games experience, if chosen, with their community. It was a competitive process and the decisions were difficult.

The team will be fully funded on this exciting trip to Innsbruck, Austria. All travel-related expenses will be paid by the Henry Uihlein II and Mildred A. Uihlein Foundation; the lodging and meals while in Innsbruck for the games will be covered by the Innsbruck 2016 Organizing Committee; and the travel will be arranged by NYSEF. Other sponsors include the Village of Lake Placid, the North Elba Park District, Uihlein-Ironman Sports Fund of Lake Placid, Adirondack Foundation and the New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority.

“Henry Uihlein spent many years funding local youth as they pursued their sports ambitions, including a young Charlie Jewtraw, the very first gold medalist at the very first Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix, France,” said John Leekley, chair of the Henry and Mildred Uihlein Foundation. “Henry would be very pleased that his foundation was able to support the continuation of that important work.”
