Douglas, Cutting sworn in as county kicks off 216th session

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Lawmakers granted Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas and Vice Chair Bill Ferebee another year at the helm on Monday, Jan. 5.

Finance Chair Tom Scozzafava, who nominated Douglas for an unprecedented sixth term, hailed the Jay leader. Ò He has not only served this body well, but also put his constituents first,” said Scozzafava.

The longtime Moriah leader said Douglas has steered the county through some its most vexing terrain in memory, including the possible closure of Moriah Shock, the sale of the county-run nursing home, the installation of a new radio project, IreneÕ s aftermath and the numerous infrastructure challenges facing one of the remote counties in the state. Ò HeÕ s a hard worker, I donÕ t know where he gets the energy. HeÕ s always trying to do something for his town and the CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Trevor Sisto, the man whose high speed pursuit through Lake Placid ended with the death of a married couple last July, pled guilty last week in Essex County Court to nine charges in connection with the incident, which ended when Sisto smashed into their vehicle in Ray Brook.

The nine-count plea included three counts of first-degree assault, a felony; one count of first-degree attempted assault, a felony; two counts of leaving the scene of a property damage accident, both violations; two counts of reckless driving, a misdemeanor; and one count of reckless endangerment for driving at a high rate of speed along the sidewalks and on Main Street in Lake Placid.

Sisto, 21, avoided homicide or manslaughter charges in the deaths of James and Kimberly Barney, of Parishville, an incident that also left their 12-year-old daughter, Emily, severely injured.

He faces 35 years in prison with a post release supervision period of up to five years.

Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said the plea agreement marks closure to the case. Ò It has and continues to be what is best for this family who is grieving the loss of their family members and having to deal with the turmoil left from the path of destruction caused with SistoÕ s actions,” said Sprague in a statement.

Sprague said the family was part of the plea discussions early on and their input was an important part of the offer, CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Lake Placid branch of Champlain National Bank now open LAKE PLACID Ñ Champlain National Bank President and CEO Joseph Shaw is excited to announce the new branch located at 2040 Saranac Avenue in Lake Placid is now open for business.

The new branch is down the street from where the Bank had been located since 2006.

Champlain National Bank has owned the property where the new branch stands since 2003 in anticipation of building a permanent location. Ò We started in a smaller location in the Crestview Plaza, in order to test the Tri-Lakes market,” said Director of Marketing Jackie Hallock. Ò The communityÕ s response was overwhelmingly positive for a local, Essex County based bank, so we decided to build.”

The branch in Lake Placid is a full service bank and recently grew to four full-time staff.

Kevin Brady, a native of Saranac Lake, is the Regional Manager and Business Developer, and the Office Supervisor is Sean Hall of Lake Placid. Ò We have some very loyal customers in the Tri-Lakes area and look forward to growing more relationships with the visibility of this new branch, and with the excellent crew we have in Lake Placid,” President and CEO Joe Shaw said.

Hallock added, Ò This new branch and the staff there position us well to serve the Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake and Wilmington areas.”

Everyone in the community is welcome to stop by for a visit to take a look around and have a free cup of coffee.

State police are searching for the suspect who robbed the Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant in Port Henry on Tuesday, Dec. 30.

Golden Palace robbed in Port Henry

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ The investigation is still underway for a suspect who robbed the Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant on Broad Street Tuesday night.

At about 5:20 p.m., a white male clad in a black hooded sweatshirt entered and passed Jiwang Xian, who was working the counter, a note.

“I couldn’t really understand,” he said. “He was still standing there, I think he wanted money.”

Xian opened the drawer and gave him $10.

“No, all of the money,” said the suspect, whom Xian said was attempting to peer into the drawer.

The suspect made a motion from under his sweatshirt that indicted he was pointing a gun at Xian.

Xian slapped what he estimated to be between $50 and $70 onto the counter and glared at the suspect.

“All of it,” said the suspect.

Xian told him no.

“He was really angry, but I was really angry, too!” said Xian.

At this point, recalled Xian, a customer realized what was happening and the suspect took off.

The suspect fled into the night, down Main Street towards the lakefront, and the customer asked if Xian wanted him to call the police.

They arrived within minutes.

“It was very quick,” said Xian, who continued to keep the place open and serve customers.

On Wednesday afternoon, a brisk lunchtime crowd came and went, expressing their sympathies and wishing Xian and his colleague, Yunwang Ze, holiday wishes.

“I was a little scared,” said Xian.

Ze scoffed at being afraid.

But nothing like this has happened in the 15 years theyÕ ve been running the joint, she noted.

State police are investigating the incident.

Ze said the suspect was about 5’ 8”, stocky, with hazel eyes and a thin face and no facial hair.

“We’ll get him,” said Moriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

The Golden Palace, he said, is a well-respected and established member of the community.

“They work hard for every dollar they earn,” he said.

Asked if he thought it was a drug-related, Scozzafava demurred.

Narcotics are an ongoing problem not just in his community, but everywhere.

“It’s so difficult to deal with,” he said. “How many cops can you put on the street? It becomes an issue of affordability.”

Inside the Golden Palace, a woman waited for her order.

“It’s never been this bad,” she said.

Those with information regarding the case are encouraged to call the state police at SP Lewis at 518-873-2750.

Guest Editorial

From the Publisher

Protect the Adirondacks responds

Y

our editorial, “Abolish Protect the Adirondacks” (Dec. 24, 2014), is poorly researched, inaccurate, and inflammatory—nothing more than an effort to silence those voices with which you disagree. Basic factual mistakes include names of Board members (it’s Bob Glennon, not John Glennon) and where our headquarters is located (it’s Lake George, not Niskayuna). All of this information is easily accessible on our website.

Among other things, you would have found that PROTECT has more local residents on its Board of Directors than any other Adirondack environmental group, and likely more than most other major Adirondack non-profits: two-thirds of our Board live in the Adirondacks year-round; one-third make their livings here; and five operate their own businesses here. In these areas, PROTECT’s Board has higher representation than other groups.

In the last year, PROTECT played a key leadership role in passing new statewide aquatic invasive species control legislation. We broke stories about violations of laws and regulations on the Forest Preserve and successfully called upon the APA to begin State Land Master Plan reform efforts in transparent public forums. We worked with other groups to force the state to rescind a troubling and illegal plan for the new Essex Chain Lakes area. We helped stop expansion of environmentally damaging ATV use on public and private lands in New York. We also work in partnership with over 75 lakes associations and Paul SmithÕ s College to manage the largest water quality monitoring program in the Park. This program provided scientific evidence of extensive road-salt pollution in Adirondack waters and has catalyzed Park-wide action.

PROTECTÕ s successes were enabled by the hard work of our executive director, whom you attacked baselessly. Peter Bauer has a long resume, working in the Adirondacks as a journalist, serving on a state commission, and leading various Adirondack Park environmental non-profits for 25 years. He has served on numerous state and private task forces and advisory bodies dealing with Adirondack Park issues, published investigative reports, authored chapters in books, written widely for numerous publications, testified before various state legislative committees, and has won many environmental victories. He also serves on the Zoning Board of Appeals for the Town of Lake George.

The editors at Denton Publications are clearly agitated by PROTECTÕ s efforts and lawsuit to oppose what we see as a ruinous approval by the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) for the 6,000-acre Adirondack Club & Resort project. We focused mostly on the impact of this approval on lands classified as Resource Management under the APA Act. We feared this project would set a negative precedent for poorly designed large-scale subdivisions. Our fears have, unfortunately, been realized, as weÕ re now seeing a new 1,100-acre subdivision on Resource Management lands in the southern Adirondacks, designed the same way, with far flung lots and house sites connected by roads and powerlines. We believed in the merits of this case and are disappointed that this bad precedent for the development of Resource Management lands will stand. We have no objection whatever to a bustling Adirondack economy; we simply want the state to follow its own laws and regulations.

While you take PROTECT to task for allegedly wasting public resources through our challenge to the APAÕ s approval of the Adirondack Club & Resort, you were strangely quiet with respect to unsuccessful lawsuits and appeals by local governments in the Adirondacks, brought and defended on both sides with public monies, over new APA shoreline regulations. According to you, itÕ s okay for some to litigate, but not for us.

The most troubling aspect of Denton PublicationsÕ editorial is your naked call to censorship and suppression of voices that you disagree with. Denton PublicationsÕ effort to silence or abolish a voice in public life you donÕ t like is a dangerous step indeed. WhatÕ s next? Your editorial calling for censorship and abolishment of PROTECTÕ s right to public speech undermines free thought, free expression, and any hope for a diverse, pluralistic, and open American civil society.

Just so you know, Protect the Adirondacks is here to stay. This is America after all, and everybody gets a voice.

Letters to the Editor

Abolish editorial board To the Editor: Having a “hometown” newspaper that is free is nice – but it has one large draw back: you canÕ t cancel your subscription in disgust at a ridiculously insulting editorial. (And no one will even see you tossing the paper into the recycling bin without reading it.)

The editorial suggesting that Protect the Adirondacks should be abolished was yellow journalism (no legitimacy coupled with sensationalism) at its worse.

Although equally as impossible and inappropriate, how about abolishing the “Denton Publications Editorial Board” of The Valley News, (whoever they are)?

Katharine Preston, Essex

Amen to editorial

As the young continue to move westward, the schools close, and the economy declines further, the gentry will not mind (so long as a few workers remain to mow their lawns and plow their driveways), but you will find your principal income from ads fall away disastrously, and then perhaps you will realize that in betraying the non-gentry here, you betrayed your own interests.

John Gardner, Essex

Letter was polarizing To the Editor: Bill Coats, production manager at Denton Publications and author of the recent racist, inflammatory, and polarizing letter to the editor, draws his information from The New Century Foundation and its publication, American Renaissance. Both were founded by arch racist, Jared Taylor, a self admitted white separatist who views whites as genetically superior in intelligence to blacks.

To the Editor: In regards to your editorial on “Banishing Protect”, I say a grateful AMEN. If, however, we cannot abolish this organization, I would hope that we can change the rules of the court. They drop frivolous lawsuits with impunity because to do so has no consequences for them. If the rules of the court are changed to require them to pay the court costs and the legal costs of the other litigants, then perhaps they might think before suing.

Either way, most of my friends and I will be glad to support you in your crusade.

Thanks again for a breath of fresh air from the media.

George King Westport

Anti-fracking editorial betrays the working class To the Editor: I enclose this statement by the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) for your consideration: Ò On Dec. 13, we linked to a report from the Congressional Budget Office, ‘The Economic and Budgetary Effects of Producing Oil and Natural Gas from Shale.Õ Ò In general, the report found that assuming prudent practices are insisted upon hydraulic fracking does not threaten drinking water. Ò It is important that State agencies that oversee these techniques property monitor them. One issue that requires monitoring is the proper disposal of wastewater, not only from the actual technique but also from a potentially enormous amount of water that can be released from deep underground.

“The report specifically addressed different shale formations, such as the Marcellus in New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia as well as those in Texas. Ò As noted in the report, the practice has greatly expanded jobs in various parts of the country. Ò Except in certain corners, there is little question that hydraulic fracking and horizontal drilling is dramatically changing the world geopolitical outlook for oil and natural gas. Ò On Dec. 17, Governor Andrew Cuomo decided to ban hydraulic fracking of shale in New York State. The important Marcellus formation is in the southern and western parts of the state, which is experiencing economic stagnation. Ò The governor referred to his experts who cited environmental health concerns. Ò As the Wall Street Journal stated, Ò In other words, all of the Governor’s men couldn’t find conclusive evidence that fracking presents a significant risk to public health or the environment. So they’re going to ban fracking until they do.” Ò Hydraulic fracturing has been used since 1947 and the EPA has yet to uncover credible evidence that it causes groundwater contamination. The best one of the governorÕ s experts, the acting state health commissioner, could do was that he would not want to live in a community where fracking was taking place. Ò One may not wish to live in a community with a major jet airport, but is that a reason to issue a statewide ban on jet airports?”

In your opposition to fracking, you have sided with the Green gentry against the ordinary working class people of the area.

St. Andrew’s scholarships now available

LAKE PLACID Ñ The St. AndrewÕ s Society of the Adirondacks will again offer scholarships for piping, drum, and dance lessons, pipe band and competition fees, as well as for research in Scottish history and culture.

The scholarship program is supported by donations and raffle ticket sales. Applicants must live, work, or attend school in the Adirondacks. They should send a letter to SASA, P.O. Box 1424, Lake Placid, NY 12946 detailing their lessons or research, their pipe band or dance associations, band camp/competition experience. Letters should be received by Sunday, March 15, and awards will be made in early May. Membership in the St. Andrews Society of the Adirondacks is open to anyone with an interest in Scotland. Members are active in Scottish games and festivals and are in parades from Plattsburgh to New York City. Letters requesting info or membership applications may be sent to the same address or to adkscot.org.

Jay organizational meeting rescheduled

JAY Ñ The previously scheduled 2015 Town of Jay Organizational Meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 14 at 7:00 p.m.

The event will be held at the Community Center in Au Sable Forks.

Timothy Mount, Elizabethtown

Bauer’s voice “intelligent and courageous” To the Editor:

The recent editorial calling for the dissolution of Ò Protect the Adirondacks” was unnecessarily harsh and unprofessional in the personal nature of the Adirondack JournalÕ s attack on that organization and its executive director, Peter Bauer.

We are in great need of thoughtful and educated environmental defenders, local and regional, as well as national and global.

Mr. BauerÕ s point of view is an integral part of all of our considerations here in the Adirondacks. Much harm has been done to the environment worldwide in the name of economic progress, and “Protect” is trying to prevent an erosion of this kind in our own state. Bauer is working on all of our behalf by speaking and acting on his conscience and with expertise.

To silence a voice that reminds us of 1894 and the approval by the people of the passage of Article XIV, in which New York State Forest Preserve lands were placed under the stateÕ s highest level of protection, is unwise, shortsighted and historically uninformed.

The Adirondack Park, a state and national treasure which we all value, has always manifested the conflict of preservation vs. economic growth.

The task is to create a balance between that preservation and a land use which can support human needs and expansion while preserving wilderness. Dialogue, and sometimes radically differing opinions with each new proposal, are essential. We can not afford to suppress or disregard the advocacy of those who support the ParkÕ s original mission.

Solutions to the economic crisis in the North Country are complex and necessary. Considerations for the best use of economic resources must be sought but not at the cost of damaging the mountains, lakes and wild spaces of the Adirondack Park. Peter BauerÕ s voice is an intelligent and courageous one. He should be supported for raising important concerns and not unjustly criticized.

Lisa Adamson, Lake George

“Shocked, saddened and dismayed” by editorial To the Editor: I just returned from a trip to Canada and found the Dec. 27 issue of Valley News waiting for me at the Post Office. I usually find a number of articles of local interest and I appreciate the fact that the publication is available for free.

However, I was shocked, saddened and dismayed by the editorial titled “Abolish Protect The Adirondacks.”

I have never read such a hateful and misinformed piece in my life (I’m a former journalist and I’ve read a few in my time). I’ll contain my disgust to salient points only (unlike the editorial).

I was born, downstate, in the Finger Lakes region so you canÕ t label me one of those second-home types from Manhattan. My

‘Under the Wide and Starry Sky’

LAKE PLACID Ñ Lake Placid Institute Book Club selection, “Under the Wide and Starry Sky” by Nancy Horan, tells the story of Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish writer of classics Monday, Jan. 26, at 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid Public Library.

The fictional narrative begins through the experiences of his lover and later wife, the American born Fanny Osbourne, who was 10 years his senior.

Essex Theatre trustees to meet

WILLSBORO Ñ The Essex Theatre Company, a community theatre, will have its January Board of Trustees meeting Friday, Jan. 9, at 6 p.m. at the Willsborough Visitors Center. Refreshments will be served from 5:30 p.m. The public is welcome.

Doc Lopez Run scheduled for March

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The 35th annual Doc Lopez Run for Health will take place Saturday, March 21. There will be a 13.1 mile run, 3.1 mile run, and a one mile walk. To register, go to finishright. com. The run will benefit the University of Vermont Health Network Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

family would vacation every summer here in the Adirondacks.

We would camp at Golden Beach, Eighth Lake, Lake Eaton and BrownÕ s Tract Pond. As I grew up, I went onto climbing many of the High Peaks. From there, after I was unable to carry 60 lbs up and over the range trail, I took up canoeing. And, I was climbing my first mountain (West Mountain) most likely before anyone on your staff was born.

I take the last wilderness in the east very seriously. I knew development would wreck the unique character of this Park. I applauded when the APA was put into place to protect the WILDERNESS nature of the area. This, I think, is where you missed the point entirely in your editorial.

I am a retired teacher. I worked for decades to finally be able to afford to come to my beloved mountains and live. Yes, live.

My wife and I own land and live near Saranac Lake. We do not drive through this “playground” in a BMW X5 (whatever that is) with our noses turned up as you so rudely describe the people who see the unique nature of this place. I wish the APA was a stronger agency to keep out those who would come here and build, develop and make a bundle of money on the last remaining place of quiet (so little of it is left) here.

The special interests already made several fortunes on loggingÑ where did all that money go when there was no protection against the timber industry? Into the hands of the residents?

Dream on.

The philosophy you espouse is like that of the land barons who would have Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon in their portfolio.

A newspaper with true interests of its readers would think of the future and not of the few jobs that might result from the development you would like to see. Be responsible stewards of this special Park and fight against the developers—not for them.

YouÕ ve lost track of where you live, my esteemed editor. The future of the unspoiled wilderness is the one true asset you possess.

Protect The Adirondacks!!!

Your free publication found in my mailbox will be going straight to the recycling bin.

Patrick Egan, Rainbow Lake

Why no ads in NY by Rail?

To the Editor: I recently spent most of the holidays taking public transportation around New York as my car went down two weeks ago.

I enclose a copy of NY by Rail and I was shocked to see that there was not even one advertisement for anything in Essex County.

Now I know that there are certain people who enjoy the gravy train from the so-called bed tax and they keep rolling the county forward telling them that they are doing a bang up job, but really?

I think the County Government is being fed a line and perhaps it’s time to unplug this little fiefdom.

Along the way, perhaps it might also be time to pull the plug on the Champ Bus. Recently I asked Champ for a public hearing and was spurned because I didnÕ t ask within 10 days. Now the only 10 day limit I know is for taking an intermediate appeal in a bankruptcy case.

From my point of view, the money is squandered. For example, it seems to me that it would be more productive to provide funding and insurance for taxi cabs. I am sure the former Clinton County Assistant DA who racked up a DWI last week would agree.

I also recently asked Champ about how they were promoting the Schroon Lake Service and got nothing but silence.

And of course, there is the Essex County IDA, in itself a little financial kingdom. Nobody seems to understand or even care that the existence of the IDA allows every bank lending in Essex County to duck its Community Investment Act duties.

From what I can see, the IDA only makes sweetheart deals involving real estate and are pretty much clueless otherwise. How about some microloans to allow people to buy a new chain saw?

Just try to borrow a couple of hundred from the Champlain Bank.

I did, and didn’t even get the typical dead fish in the water letter that most banks send out when they skip over your request.

I thank you in advance and wish you a happy next year.

Potsdam, a Class C school from Section X, suffered only its second loss of the season and moved to 5-2 after the split.

Keene 59, Saranac Lake 19 It took some time for the Beavers to get going, but once they did, the Red Storm couldn’t find an answer.

Keene responded to an early 7-3 deficit with a 33-0 run spanning three quarters to beat Saranac Lake 59-19 in the opening game of the Great Adirondack Shootout in Lake Placid on Jan. 2.

Elaina Smith scored 11 points to go along with 15 rebounds and seven assists.

Melissa Moody helped Saranac Lake to a quick start, scoring all seven of her points in an early burst to put the Red Storm ahead. The lead, however, would be short lived.

Kaitlyn Hewitt led Saranac Lake with eight points, including two threeÕ s, all in the fourth quarter.

Potsdam 59, Lake Placid 28 In the second game of the afternoon, Section XÕ s Potsdam built an early 18-2 lead over Lake Placid and continued to roll as the it earned the 59-28 win and a matchup with the Beavers on Jan. 2.

PotsdamÕ s Sarah Vivlamore was too much for the Blue Bombers, who got off to a slow start with two first quarter points. She had 24 points overall, including a buzzer-beating three to help the Sandstoners go into the half up 33-12.

Breanne Sapp added 13 points in the win.

Both teams scored 59 points and won by double-digits in their opening round games, but it was Keene that set itself apart in the championship.

Saranac Lake 41, Lake Placid 26 Three Red Storm players scored in double-figures as Saranac Lake used a strong second half to pull away from Lake Placid in the Jan. 3 consolation match.

Talia McDonough scored 11 points for the Red Storm while Katelyn Hewitt and Almelina Cecunjanin each had 10 more in the win.

After only scoring two points in the first quarter against Potsdam, Lake Placid got off to a better start in the second game with a 10-8 lead heading into the second quarter.

From there, however, Saranac Lake began to pull away as they outscored the Blue Bombers 33-16 over the final three quarters.

Cheyenne Blair led the Blue Bombers with 10 points while Lauren Rossi scored six and Cameron Shipman four more in the setback.

Lake Placid head coach Jeffery Potter credited Saranac LakeÕ s “strong inside game” and added that they capitalized on turnovers in the win.

Keene 65, Potsdam 42 For the second game in a row, the Beavers turned an early deficit into a lopsided with, this time over the Sandstoners 65-42 to win the Great Adirondack Shootout.

Keene trailed 14-10 heading into the second quarter before running away. An 18-7 second quarter put the team ahead heading into the half and Keene went on to score 20 points in the third to help put the game out of reach.

The Week in Review

Girls’ hockey Alexandria Bay 3, Lake Placid 0 ALEXANDRIA BAY Ñ The Blue Bombers played Alexandria Bay to a scoreless first period draw before surrendering three goals through second and third as they lost 3-0 Jan. 2.

Kelsey Bannister had a goal and an assist for the Purple Ghosts while Miranda Kolb and Keeley Rose each added a goal. RoseÕ s came on a empty net with just 16 seconds to play for the final point.

“Our girls put forth a good effort,” said Lake Placid assistant coach Carly Dominick-Sobol. Ò We were unable to capitalize on some excellent power play scoring chances.”

The Blue Bombers went scoreless on four power play opportunities, including giving up a short-handed goal on KolbÕ s opening score.

Tanner Stanton had 27 saves on 29 shots for Lake Placid. Ò Alexandria Bay was the strongest team we have faced so far and our girls put up a good fight,” said Dominick-Sobol.

Albany Academy 7, Saranac Lake 0 SARANAC LAKE Ñ Albany Academy used a four-goal second period to upend Saranac Lake 7-0 in league play Jan. 2.

The Red Storm, coming off of a 3-2 overtime win over Lake Placid Dec. 23, were unable to carry the momentum over after the long break.

Elizabeth Bimonte scored the go-ahead goal and Morgan Meyer and Jayde Dukette followed with scores to push the lead back to three for the win. Ò We have to start games with

Trevor Sisto

Sisto

From page 1 which includes waiving the right to appeal.

The district attorney said on Friday that Emily is recovering from her injuries. The plea agreements mean that she will be spared the trauma of an extended trial and possible years-long appeals process.

“She can finally begin to heal knowing she will not have to do this,” said Sprague. Ò The reality is no matter what Sisto gets for a sentence, it will not bring back their loved ones, but it will certainly bring some closure for them knowing this man will be off the streets for a very, very long time.”

Sisto was initially arraigned on 60 counts last month. The former Fort Covington resident is scheduled to return to court for sentencing on March 5 at 2 p.m.

the same amount of passion as we finish games,” said senior assistant captain Gillian McLean, who scored the teamÕ s third goal at the start of the third period.

Dukette scored two goals and added an assist in the win while Briana Savage had the teamÕ s opening goal.

Carissa Kennedy tallied two assists while Payton Barney, Samantha Barney, Savage and Bimonte each picked up one.

Salmon RiverÕ s Victoria Thompson had two goals and Nidia DeArmayero had one.

Emily Barney registered 17 saves as Lake Placid held a 40-20 advantage in shots. Shamrocks goalie Jenny DeJung made 34 saves in the setback. Ò We have accomplished a lot this season but we have a lot more that can be achieved as we enter the final stretch,” said Samantha Barney.

Boys’ basketball Lake Placid 46, Saranac Lake 42 SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Blue Bombers used a 21-10 margin over the final eight minutes to come from behind and top the Red Storm 46-42 in non-league play Jan. 2.

Swearing in From page 1

county.”

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow seconded the resolution: “I don’t know how I’m going to follow up that,” he said.

“Don’t even try,” deadpanned Scozzafava. ÒY ou have to not only run the chair, but like [Scozzafava] said, you have to go above and beyond and not only listen to the supervisors, but also to your constituents,” said Morrow.

He also lauded Douglas for his deep ties to the stateÕ s leadership and his willingness to compromise on county affairs.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

“That is the true mark of a leader.”

The decision was unanimous.

DOUGLAS RESPONDS In a poignant and heartfelt speech, Douglas thanked the board and his family.

“Through it all, my wife has been my rock,” he said. “She is the most understanding person I have ever met.”

Douglas also thanked the three longest-serving supervisors on the board: George Canon, of Newcomb; Morrow and Scozzafava.

Earlier that morning, Canon was briefly installed as temporary board chairman, a procedural technicality that was necessary to swear in Douglas.

“If this is truly your last year, it’s only suitable to send you out on top,” said Douglas, referring to CanonÕ s presumptive retirement at the end of this session.

Canon has served since 1990.

Douglas also asked lawmakers to keep the family of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, who passed away on Jan. 1, in their prayers.

Since 2009, Douglas has developed a strong bond with CuomoÕ s son, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was sworn in for a second term last week just five hours before his fatherÕ s death. ÒI know how much he loved his father as we shared many conversations on how our fathers influenced both of our lives,” said Douglas.

Following his inauguration, Douglas said he planned to travel to New York City with a delegation from Essex County to pay his respects.

Douglas told lawmakers he would continue to serve with “honesty, integrity and energy.” ÒY our trust I have not taken likely,” he said.

The board has a lengthy todo list for the upcoming term, their 216th.

The chairman said county officials will continue to explore ways to consolidate without reducing services Ñ CuomoÕ s property tax freeze requires municipalities to demonstrate savings to taxpayers through shared services Ñ locking in infrastructure grants, including funds to prop up the countyÕ s aging Olympic infrastructure, and continuing to lobby the state legislature to eliminate mandated services that are no longer affordable.

Douglas also highlighted the importance of the proposed pipeline from Vermont that will funnel natural gas to International Paper in Ticonderoga and exploring the possibility of utilizing solar energy to fuel county facilities. ÒW e have our work cut out for us and I promise we will rise to the occasion,” he said.

Douglas also commended former Congressman Bill Owens for his service and said he looked forward to working with his replacement, Elise Stefanik, who took office on Tuesday, Jan. 6, the day this story went to print.

SECOND IN COMMAND Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee was also unanimously awarded another term as the boardÕ s vice chair. ÒI found him not only to be wise counsel, but a very good friend as well,” said Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, who just wrapped up his first year in office. “He impressed me not only with his excellent leadership of town of Keene, but also as an integrated leader of Essex County.”

Gillilland said due to FerebeeÕ s active leadership Ñ heÕ s not simply a backbencher for Douglas Ñ the county is better off “in so many ways” as they head into the coming year.

Lewis Supervisor David Blades seconded the motion. ÒA s you know brevity and honesty is the key to good, solid dialogue in this room,” said Blades.

Ferebee thanked his colleagues and said he looked forward to serving them for another term. ÒI thoroughly enjoy the position Ñ weÕ ve made a good team together,” he told the Valley News. ÒI t would be a shame to disrupt the routine at this time.”

The duo have served together for the past five years.
