By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The prospects for an economic resurgence in the county seat grew significantly dimmer on Tuesday with the news that the Deer’s Head Inn Restaurant, a popular local landmark, will close on Jan. 17.

Co-owner Dr. Robert DeMuro declined to give an exact reason for the closure.

“As owners we have struggled with the decision to close for over six months, but have decided it is the best thing to do at this time,” he told the Valley News in an email.

DeMuro said he has enjoyed bringing the building back to its current state.

“It is in much better shape compared to eight years ago when we bought it,” he said. “We hope to find somebody else to carry on the legacy of the Deer’s Head.”

A broker for the historic structure has not been decided.

DeMuro said the owners hope to continue to support the thrift store, which CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Judge Richard Meyer announces re-election bid

SARANAC LAKE — A lifetime ago, an American soldier fell asleep in a foxhole with a .45 on his chest.

A combatant leapt in.

The GI awoke and promptly shot a hole through him.

Seventy years later, a local man has the flag from the Japanese combatant and the dog tags from the GI who dispatched him.

Sam Grimone will display these artifacts, among others, at the Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club’s gun show this weekend.

SLFGC board member Dan Ruchkin said the biannual event gives residents an opportunity to shop for legal firearms and ammunition without having to drive great distances.

This weekend, attendees can browse between a halfdozen dealers occupying 25 tables.

The spread includes mostly rifles and shotguns, although some handguns may be available depending on availability.

This year marks the Saranac Lake debut for James Masten.

The North Creek-area vendor, who specializes in old Winchesters, said he will bring a large assortment of rifles and other collectibles to the event.

Masten developed an interest in the biz when his great grandfather left him a Winchester Model 94.

“I started collecting,” he recalled. “When my collection got too big, I started selling.”

County Public Health Dept: Flu, pertussis vaccines recommended ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Public Health recommends flu & pertussis vaccines in response to community need Essex County Public Health Communicable Disease conducts daily surveillance to allow for early identification of illness that can spread to others.

There are confirmed cases of flu and pertussis in the community. Both flu and pertussis are highly contagious. The very young, elderly and immune-compromised individuals are most at risk.

Sudden onset of fever, head and body aches, cough, chills and fatigue are typical with the Flu. Symptoms of Pertussis are an uncontrol-

lable, violent and/or whooping cough.

There are vaccines available for both Flu and Pertussis. This is the first step to prevent the spread of both. Because infants are too young to be vaccinated, it is especially important for parents and care-givers of infants to be vaccinated so they create a circle of protection around their little ones.

Other recommended measures are regular hand-washing, coughing into a sleeve and staying away from others when sick or others who are sick.

Contact your health care provider or Essex County Public Health to speak with a nurse for

information about flu, pertussis and any immunizations or booster recommendations and to schedule an appointment.

Call 873-3500 and visit www.co.essex.ny.us/ PublicHealth for more information.

Essex County Judge Meyer to seek re-election ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Essex County Judge Richard Meyer announced last week that he will seek re-election in November.

Meyer was first elected in 2005 and presides over the Family, County and Surrogate’s courts, as well as an integrated domestic violence court, a drug treatment court, and the only veterans treatment court in the Fourth Judicial District, which was created on Meyer’s initiative.

Judge Meyer also serves as a des-

ignated Supreme Court Justice.

Judge Meyer is an ASTAR Science and Technology Fellow of the Advanced Science and Technology Adjudication Resource Center, an organization devoted to training judges in science.

He is a member of the Essex County and New York State bar associations, and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.

Judge Meyer has provided continuing legal education to the Essex

County Magistrates Association, the Essex County Bar Association, and to the Federated Bar Association of the Fourth Judicial District.

He has also served as a judge in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds of the New York State High School Mock Trial Tournament conducted by the New York State Bar Association, and at the 2014 annual training conference of the New York Welfare Fraud Investigators Association.

A lifelong resident of Essex County, Judge Meyer was Essex County Attorney from 1987 until 2005.

Beginning in 1979, Meyer had a private law practice, first in Saranac Lake and then in Lake Placid. He is a graduate of Colgate University and Albany Law School.

Judge Meyer lives in Saranac Lake with his wife of thirty years, Gail Meyer. They have two grown children.

Big buy makes Molpus Woodlands #2 in Adirondack Park

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Adirondack Park’s largest environmental organization, Adirondack Council, applauded Mississippi timberland investment and management company Molpus Woodlands for making a significant investment in the future of New York’s Adirondack Park by purchasing the 112,238-acre holdings of The Forestland Group.

The purchase was announced on Tuesday, Dec. 16. A price was not disclosed.

The purchase makes Molpus Woodlands of Philadelphia, Miss., the Adirondack Park’s second-largest private landowner at more than 273,000 acres. Molpus had owned only 30,000 acres (near Saranac Lake) until its January 2014 purchase of nearly 131,000 acres in St. Lawrence, Clinton, Franklin and Lewis counties from Rayonier.

“We are pleased to see that Molpus is making a long term investment in the Adirondack Park’s economy and will be helping to stabilize woodlands employment by keeping these lands in production,” said William C. Janeway, Executive Director of

the Adirondack Council. “We urge the company to continue to manage these lands under a third-party certified sustainable management plan, such as the Forest Stewardship Council or Sustainable Forestry Initiative. We also call on state officials to assist the company in achieving this. New York taxpayers own a conservation easement on all of these lands and have stake in keeping them healthy.

“Well-managed commercial timberlands are an important part of the Adirondack Park’s economy and its ecology,” Janeway said. “Forests that are managed for timber provide plant and wildlife habitat that may not be as common on the forever wild lands of the Forest Preserve, and vice versa. Public lands and waters bring millions of visitors to the Park each year. Both public and private lands contribute to the Park’s wild beauty and its biological diversity.”

The announcement includes lands in Lewis, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties. Prior to The Forestland Group, the lands were owned by Champion International. They include lands on sever-

al northern-flowing rivers including the St. Regis and the Grasse.

Molpus’s January purchase included parcels on Middle Branch of the Oswegatchie River in Lewis County, extensive shoreline on the Carry Falls Reservoir, headwaters of the South Branch of the Grasse River, and extensive boreal lands east of Carry Falls in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties.

The Park’s largest private landowner is fellow timberland investment/management organization Lyme Timber, of Lyme, N.H., which owns 278,000 acres.

Founded in 1975, the Adirondack Council is privately funded, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to ensure the ecological integrity and wild character of New York’s six-millionacre Adirondack Park. The Council envisions an Adirondack Park comprised of core wilderness areas, surrounded by working forests and farms, and vibrant rural communities.

The Council carries out its mission and vision through research, education, advocacy and legal action. Adirondack Council members live in all 50 United States.

Upper Jay Art Center announces three grants before anniversary UPPER JAY — The Upper Jay Art Center (UJAC) received great news over the holidays: it was among the North Country’s 69 recipients of grant assistance from the state’s Regional Economic Development Council for 2014.

UJAC was awarded $49,500 to help increase the salary of its Artistic Director Scott Renderer for the next two years, turning what had been a part-time (and previously a volunteer) position into a full-time job. This grant is part of the Workforce Investment program of the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).

“For us, it’s been a three-year effort to secure the Lounge,” notes Debby Rice, President of UJAC’s Board of Directors. “Until now our support has largely come from the generosity of private donors, who share Scott’s vision and

appreciate the community he’s gathered. This vote of confidence from NYSCA is such good news. We’re very excited about it. ” “It makes me happy to have created an organization that has the respect of local and state arts funders,” Renderer says. “I’m grateful the UJAC board pursued this — I couldn’t have done it without them. It’s the pay-off of a lot of hard work — ten years of music, theater and art.”

This year marks UJAC’s 10th anniversary.

Renderer, an actor and a member of the New York City experimental theater collective The Wooster Group, started the Recovery Lounge in 2005 “for my own reasons, not really having any goal,” he recalls, hosting concerts and directing plays with amateur actors from the area.

He discovered that “it galvanized the community when people saw their neighbors perform, and perform well.”

Since 2005, UJAC has mounted a dozen plays, all directed by Renderer, as many play and poetry readings and art events, and more than 80 concerts, bringing an eclectic array of professional musicians to Upper Jay. The Lounge has become an essential gathering place in the Ausable valley, the living room for a community it has helped to create, welcoming audience members of all ages and incomes, year-round and seasonal residents.

Now that the position of Artistic Director is full-time, UJAC hopes to mount a second play each year, something it has only been able to do very occasionally in the past.

This fall, UJAC also received a $2,000 grant from the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation to help underwrite its popular January Jams, free open mic sessions that welcome local musicians, amateur and professional, Sundays in January from 2-6 p.m.

And in November, the Charles R. Wood Foundation granted $3,700 to underwrite UJAC’s purchase of a new lighting control system for its performance stage. The new digital lighting board and related equipment will simplify lighting design for music and play production, allowing lighting arrangements to be preset for each scene.

Grants to help Saranac Lake High School purchase Chromebooks SARANAC LAKE — Saranac Lake High School has successfully raised $2,500 to purchase six Chromebook laptops for a new mobile computer cart.

The Chromebooks will be purchased using a $500 Small & Significant grant from Adirondack Foundation, and $2,000 from the foundation’s crowdfunding website, Adirondack Gives.

“Reaching this goal is amazing and I want to thank all the people who backed our campaign,” said Joshua Dann, principal of Saranac Lake High School. “The students and teachers will be so appreciative for this fantastic gift. I also want to thank Susan Waters, Jack Martin, and Chris Morris for helping to make this happen.”

Each mobile computer cart helps to deliver updated cyber learning opportunities to 30 students, which is more effective than moving classrooms to a computer lab. Chromebooks offer cloud-based computing, which is more economical and efficient than backing up computers.

“Chromebooks also offer a more collaborative learning environment for students and teachers,” Dann said. “This project

adds to the school’s recent investment in wireless access.”

Prior to these grants, the high school purchased 30 Chromebooks, to add to another 35 donated by the Parent Faculty Or-

ganization.

Employee workshops scheduled to aid farmers

PLATTSBURGH — Cornell Cooperative Extension/CCE will offer training to help farmers who will be hiring their first employees in 2015. The Hiring Your First Employee workshops are set for Wednesday, Jan. 14, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Plattsburgh, Cornell Cooperative Extension, 6064 Route 22 Suite 5; register with 561-7450.

Thursday, Jan. 15, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Westport, Cornell Cooperative Extension, 3 Sisco St; register with 962-4810 ext. 0.

Friday, Jan. 16, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Malone, Soil and Water Conservation District Office, 151 Finney Blvd; register with 483-7403.

This beginners course topics cover payroll accounting, minimum wage, withholding, general work agreements, worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance, youth hiring rules and rates, termination, quarterly and annual report filing requirements. OSHA safety regulations, dangerous jobs, Right to Know and training will also be covered.

“There are several critical considerations to put in pace before you take on employees. Those attending this course will receive a To-Do list and a set of resources to prepare them for hiring,” says workshop co-organizer Anita Deming with CCE Essex County. “Learning how to properly manage workers can expand your earning potential exponentially.”

Deming notes that even if a farm owner hires a professional to help with employment forms and government reporting requirements it is wise for the farm owner to have a working knowledge of what is legally required for hiring and employee management.

For information, contact Deming at 962-4810 ext. 409.

From the Publisher

From the Editor

Our editorial board: Clearing the air

I

wrote my first editorial for Denton Publications 23 years ago. Since then I’ve put my name on hundreds of opinion pieces and been a part of dozens of editorial board positions. I was lauded for some, vilified for others.

I’ve learned not to let that get under my skin. I’ve always thought of it as fallout from the thought provoking process. Poke the bees nest enough and you’re bound to walk away with a couple welts.

An old editor of mine once told me that you’re not doing your job if you’re not angering someone with an opinion piece Ñ it comes with the territory.

In turn, the dialogue gates open and — as our newly elected Congresswoman Elise Stefanik would say — fresh new ideas spill forth as a result.

But in all that time, I’ve never been accused of hiding my name from view. I have and will continue to take credit for the columns I have personally written as well as the editorial board pieces I am a part of.

So when I read some of the recent letters regarding our editorial board being unnamed, I have to say it caught me off guard. I suppose in an organization our size, I took for granted that readers knew the Denton staff and, after decades of my pontificating, certainly knew me as managing editor.

Together, we make up the editorial board. Most of our names appeared in our Jan. 3 newspapers listing each of our New Year’s resolutions.

I have organized it this way for several years, and honestly up until a few weeks ago had not been called out on it. When a reader, official or source took issue with a board editorial, I was always the sounding board, encouraging further dialogue, letters and guest commentaries.

I have always taken responsibility for everything published in our newspapers, specialty products and magazines.

In the past, I’ve been involved in a handful of different editorial boards, each with its own unique makeup and different way of identifying board members.

Editorials written by a board are designed to allow input from a variety of viewpoints. They can be written by a member of the board or an outside individual with couching from the group.

I’ve been involved with board editorials I

vehemently disagreed with — and been asked to write editorials contrary to my own opinion.

It’s a lesson in temperament, but again comes with the territory.

Columns, on the other hand, are written by a sole individual and are the opinion of that person alone, such as the column you are currently reading written by yours truly.

I will say the recent letters calling us out for having an anonymous editorial board gave me pause for thought. That was not my intent and I’d like to clear the air about who we are and how we operate.

Our editorial board consists of staff members Maggie Morgan, Shawn Ryan, Lou Varricchio, Pete DeMola and Andrew Johnstone. Senior editors include myself and Keith Lobdell, Publisher Dan Alexander and retired editor Thom Randall continues to lend his years of expertise.

While free expression of opinion is a right in this country under the First Amendment, I am not one to do so behind a veil of secrecy. I welcome an open exchange of ideas from anyone provided it is done in a constructive manner.

I’m convinced thoughtful debate and compromise is what will move this country and this region forward.

Therefore, after consulting with our editorial team, we have decided that our board editorials will be signed each week by two senior managing editors, Keith and myself and Dan as publisher.

Ideas for opinion pieces will be formulated, a topic will be chosen, board members will be allowed to chime in on the topic and the actual writing of the piece will be assigned to a member of the board in rotation.

The board will then all get a final opportunity to read the piece before it goes to print.

We feel this is the most fair and balanced way to handle board editorials moving into the future.

In the meantime, my door is always open as is my willingness to hear from our readers about issues of importance that might make solid editorial fodder.

We certainly do not profess to know it all, and the more voices we get involved in this process, the more rounded and effective our opinions will be.

Letters to the Editor

Local resident says thanks to road crews

Essex County supers should represent all citizens

To the Editor: Having lived and volunteered in Westport, worked in Ticonderoga, and driven and pedalled throughout Essex County for over 20 years now, I want to say thanks to all the men and women who work throughout the year to maintain these many miles of Adirondack roadways. I have yet to get stuck in snow due to road conditions, as I have in another part of New York State; or pop a tire on my bicycle from hitting a pothole, as I have in another part of the State; and/or be unable to drive the ambulance because of poor road conditions. I like the fact that I live in a part of the state where I do not have to worry about the condition of our roads. As a result, I don’t mind paying the part of my taxes that help my family and I stay safe when we travel throughout Essex County, especially as many miles I driven round trip Westport to Ticonderoga and bus rides to track meets. Years ago, one of the guys on a crews even helped me change a tire on my car. Several times, I have been on ambulance runs when highway crews have quickly responded in order for the ambulance to get to and from a scene, which assisted us getting the patient safely to the hospital. Finally, it is incredible to think of the weather and temperatures these folks work in all year long, not to forget all the hours necessary during our long winters. So, thank you for all the work that you do, year in and year out, that helps all of us stay safe!

To the Editor: After reading the enlightened guest editorial in your Jan. 10 issue condemning your earlier editorial that called for abolishing Protect the Adirondacks because of its opposition to the Adirondack Club & Resort project in Tupper Lake, I was happy to read Dan Alexander’s apology on the same page.

But then, what a shock it was to read the article on page 14 in your same issue, about the Essex County Board of Supervisors voting unanimously to support the original editorial for which your paper wisely apologized.

Brian Mann reported on North Country Public Radio that the Board of Supervisors will meet again on this matter, so I hope they will also take a more enlightened position now.

Perhaps they were fooled by the pseudo-populist rhetoric in that disgraceful editorial. They need to show that they really do represent all of us, not just the special interests of rich developers.

Shameful votes like that one are the reason why so many Americans now distrust politicians.

The Board needs to acknowledge that Protect the Adirondacks does far more good than harm, for the majority of us.

The same goes for the APA.

Protect what?

To the Editor: When I think of protecting the Adirondacks, many problems and questions come to mind regarding our Adirondack communities including; employment, resident retention, economic viability, sustainability, the environment, and our future. Does PROTECT cater to all of the above in an unbiased way? What are they trying to protect and from what or whom? Do we need protection from them?

Here are some thoughts to consider. The Adirondacks have had many challenges and will have many challenges to face.

By default, we have designed our economy around a playground for spending disposable income and a place to retire.

There is little industry left here, and we have become a service based economy catering to recreation, lodging, and food.

This economy isn’t conducive to great business plans with steady stable returns or successful independence. It tends to represses our work force with seasonal, weather dependent, economy driven, lower paying jobs. Many residents leave for better opportunities and never come back.

We have also limited our chance of a better economy and future by enacting and upholding out of date and irresponsible preservation clauses and ideas about our state holdings within the park called Forever Wild. PROTECT’s stance on state land use and private land use is selfish and biased because they represent the land use ideals of a minority within the park or state.

For some towns, state Forever Wild holdings dominate private ownership and this limits business opportunities and potential jobs in the surrounding area through limited resources.

Forever Wild lands increase taxes on private properties (tax payers pay the taxes on Forever Wild Land) and taking out trail areas and waterways, much of the Forever Wild lands don’t see much use or revenue generated. This decreases income for remaining private landowners due to a lack of choices and opportunities that have been dismantled by the Forever Wild clause and radical groups like Protect. This encourages landowners to develop and liquidate their land to create a short term profit while getting rid of a tax and investment liability.

For example, conservation on state lands would be a better choice by creating working forests that support our local communities with sustainable jobs and tangible products produced for local use and export. The now active land would be self supporting and even revenue generating therefore stimulating local towns. We could heat our schools and teach our kids about sustainability and the environment with renewable trees from the Forever Wasted resource. Conservation includes recreation and in many cases enhances recreation.

Good Conservation also enhances the quality and protection of our environment (Hey PROTECT, we don’t even maintain fire roads anymore on forest preserve)!

You want to fight something, how about potential forest fires?

By the way, the people of New York State pay the tax burden and many other associated costs on this state land and that includes all of us one way or another (the state just writes the check) All the citizens should be represented equally including those that live here.

The Adirondacks are for residents, vacationers, snowmobilers, ATV riders motor boaters, businesses, skiers, birdwatchers, fisherman, environmentalists, and all others as long as they respect each other. It should be an even playing field for all.

There should be a more diverse viable economy within the blue line that attracts successful entrepreneurs, businesses, and respectful visitors. Protect, what are you really trying to protect, the land, the environment, the people, the economy, or the swayed interests of your supporters.

I’m not saying PROTECT the Adirondacks needs to leave, you need to rethink your goals, to represent and respect all of us, and actually make a positive difference. How about protecting our future?

Deer Editor

Allen Fitz-Gerald, Jay

To the Editor: With sadness, our family and most of the community, we will say goodbye to the Deer’s Head Inn this week. Matt, Jo Ann, Joyce, Debbie and all the staff will certainly be missed.

They have served our community with delicious lunches and dinners these past years, as well as a few fundraising breakfasts.

They have not only provided us with an upscale menu, but lasting friendship to all who knew them. They will certainly be missed.

On a personal note, they catered two weddings, several birthdays and an anniversary celebration or two for our family. They became a part of the family on these special days. We wish them the best in their future endeavors and good luck in all they do.

Rick and Gay Olcott, Elizabethtown

Well done, Mr. Alexander To the Editor: I’m writing to thank you for your column in last week’s paper. I’ve never seen a publisher be so frank and open about his company.

I wholeheartedly agree with your positions and I congratulate you for taking the leadership needed to open up this sort of dialogue.

As you say, only through an open exchange of ideas can we learn about the important issues before us.

I rarely write letters to the editor, but this time, I thought it was important to say well done, sir.

David Reuther, Elizabethtown

Editorial Board has right to express opinions To the Editor: I want to commend the Editorial Board for speaking out on actions of one small group that is abusing the court system to get their way.

This group is an extreme fundamentalist group that is running under the flag saving mother nature. Just like other fundamentalist groups they have lost the ability to listen to other sides issue and to work with them. They have failed to see how their views have effected the ability for people to exist in the Adirondack Park.

The facts that what you have published is based in fact is important.

We must also remember that is was the “opinion” page of the paper. Your editorial board must be free to have their “opinions.”

I think their opinions are held by many people in the community.

I think, especially in light of the actions that have happened in France last week, you have an obligation to maintain your right to have an option on issues, and on fundamentalist groups that are single minded in their goal.

This is true if it were an environmental group, a political group or a developer. You have a responsibility to your reads to have your opinion. You also have a responsibility to the reader to help them form their own opinions on the other pages of the paper.

I often don’t agree with the opinions on the editorial pages of many papers, but that is not the point. The point is that the paper’s independent board has that opportunity. The goal is different, it is to make all of think and to see other opinions.

You gave the group their opportunity to express their opinion which is the correct action to take. You should not stifle, control or reprimand the opinion of your editorial board.

is located on the second floor, and work with them to secure longterm rental space.

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew called the news a “tremendous disappointment.”

“What an unfortunate loss it is for the town,” he said. “It’s right in the center of the community.”

Merrihew said the venerable old facility, which originally opened in 1808, generates traffic and adds a sense of life to the town.

“It will be noticeably absent once they no longer exist,” he said.

“It’s such a historic facility that people connect to the town of Elizabethtown.”

Merrihew said the town will do what they can to help facilitate the process of finding new owners.

The Deer’s Head, which is located across from the county complex, is a common rendezvous point for government officials, including the Essex County Board of Supervisors, many of whose members gravitate to the wooden building for lunch following their weekly meetings.

During the holiday season, the exterior was bright with merriment and played host to numerous holiday parties.

“That’s the stop to do your business, right over there,” said Merrihew. “It’s a disappointment.”

T. Spooner’s is located across the street from the soon-to-be-shuttered landmark.

“It’s always sad to see a business going out of business, not only for employees, but it can hurt the town,” said owner Tracy Spooner.

Spooner said more attractions give visitors more reasons to visit the community.

“It makes Elizabethtown a little smaller,” he said. “I wish them all the luck. No one likes being a little busier for someone else’s hardshipÓ Bruce Pushee, Associate Broker at Friedman Reality, expressed sadness over the announcement.

“Losing the best restaurant around is a real blow to the greater community. It’s such a tremendous asset to have in town. I know it’s not an easy business,” he said.

Former supervisor and thrift store volunteer Margaret Bartley said she was “devastated” by the news.

“The loss of this anchor business in the heart of Elizabethtown will have a negative effect throughout our community,” she said.

Not only does the restaurant serve great food, she said, but also offers a meeting space for the Kiwanis club and other groups.

Kiwanis Club President Paul DiBarbieri called the situation “heartbreaking.”

The Deer’s Head is one of the focal points of the community, he said.

“It’s one bright shining star in the middle of Elizabethtown.”

DiBarbieri hailed the owners for their support of their activities, including golf tournaments and pancake breakfasts, and said his organization thought the world of them.

“There wasn’t a major project we did that they didn’t support.”

While the closure is devastating for the club, DiBarbieri said they will carry on.

“Our goal is perseverance,” he said. “And we’re really, really going to miss Matt [Baldwin], Joanne [Baldwin] and Joyce [Bethlehem].”

Thrift Shop Chair Cathi White said she was distressed at the announcement.

Any and all relocation suggestions from the community are welcome.

“We would like to stay in Elizabethtown because the town has been so good to us.”

The organization, which serves four local churches, has a meeting with DeMuro on Jan. 12.

DeMuro assured them they can stay until another location has been locked down.

“We will work very hard to make sure the thrift store continues to be successful,” he said.

He estimated five or six part-time employees will lose their jobs.

Gun Show From page 1

Gun shows in the North Country are valuable because they allow enthusiasts a platform to exchange ideas, not only on a philosophical level, but practical questions on repair and maintenance, said Grimone.

This exchange, he said, surpasses the tangible swap of firearms and currency.

And then there’s the memorabilia.

“In many ways, it was the Greatest Generation,” said Grimone, referring to the term used to describe the Depression-era kids who went on to fight in World War II. “When those guys went over, they said, ‘I don’t know when I’ll be back — I’ll be back when the war is over.’”

Grimone said his interest in wartime artifacts, in part, sprung from that element.

For the Saranac Lake resident, collecting is also infused with a sense of wonder of where the item has been and the type of person who once owned it.

Grimone told the story of an impoverished Vermont family who married off one of their sons.

They gave the minister a gun for payment.

Several years later, they gave him another in exchange for burial services.

“That’s a pretty intriguing story when you think about it,” said Grimone. “And that’s where my interest comes in.”

In addition to the aforementioned Rising Sun Flag, which is inscribed with good luck wishes written by the soldier’s family, Grimone also has several bibles, customary gifts at the time.

Some were inlaid with metal covers as a form of armor.

Grimone also has canteens, gloves, packs, replacement bulbs for cockpit dashboards… even a detonator from a WWII-era Japanese aerial bomb. “I have some pretty neat stuff,” he said.

The Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club Gun Show runs Saturday, Jan. 17 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 18 until 3 p.m. 726 Bloomingdale Road, Saranac Lake. $5 donation. Breakfast foods will also be available. Visit saranaclakefishandgameclub.com for more info.

period before wave of scoring began. Albany Academy held a 30-19 shot advantage overall.

Conner Lapierre, Brielle Carnright and Hannah Gordon each tallied goals for Beekmantown. Kallie Villamaire collected two assists and Ashley Maggy another in the hard-fought, physical matchup.

“We were able to hold them off into the third but we are struggling to maintain offensive zone possession and by not generating sustained pressure, we end up on our heels,” said Blue Bombers head coach Bill Ward.

Lady Hornets score four in league win over Blue Bombers Outshot 20-12, Pburgh makes most out of looks on net in 4-1 win

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — The Blue Bombers may have controlled the tempo for much of the game, but it was the Hornets who made best on their chances on net in league play Jan. 7.

Brittany Miner netted two goals, including a decisive breakaway score in the third period that pushed the Hornets lead back to two with five and a half minutes to play.

After heading into the final period in a 2-0 hole, Lake Placid’s Carissa Kennedy scored on a high, well-placed puck at point-blank range to

get her team within a point.

Momentum seemed to be on the Blue Bombers’ side as they controlled play until Miner stole a pass and took off, burying a shot past Emily Barney from the right.

Then, with 1:10 remaining, Miner put a long shot in on an empty net for the final margin.

“Plattsburgh had a couple bounces go their way and they capitalized on their opportunities,” said Lake Placid head coach Bill Ward.

Abigail Boule scored the Hornets’ opening goal late in the first period on a short possession. In the second period, with Lake Placid frequently knocking, Plattsburgh again took the air out of the 1932 Rink when Hannah Glicksman snuck one past Barney.

Sydney Adolfo, Kaitlyn Guynup and Kara Barber registered assits for Plattsburgh.

The Blue Bombers held a 20-12 shot advantage, but failed to capitalize all but once as sev-

eral crossing passes and loose pucks slid harmlessly in front of the net with nobody in place to finish.

Hornets goalie Corinne Smith had plenty to do with the score differential, making 19 saves on 20 shots for a stellar .95 save percentage in the win.

Lake Placid used two different goaltenders in the game. Tanner Stanton played the first period, making two saves on three shots, and Barney stopped six of eight.

The Blue Bombers and Hornets went 0-1 on power plays, with both teams’ chances coming in the third period.

“We need to learn to find a way to create havoc in front of our opponents’ net and anticipate rebounds to bury the puck,” said Ward.

Lake Placid returns to action Jan. 9 at Albany Academy while Plattsburgh will play Ithaca at home Jan. 10 as the regular enters its final stretch.

Lake Placid boys, girls fall to Ticonderoga in basketball Boys: Ticonderoga 41, Lake Placid 40 Girls: Ticonderoga 32, Lake Placid 17

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com The Ticonderoga Sentinels swept the Lake Placid Blue Bombers Jan. 6-7. The boys squeaked by with a final score of 41-40 and the girls won with a final score of 32-17.

The boys played first on Jan. 6 in a nail-biter. The Blue Bombers started with and kept their lead up until the last 15 seconds of the game. Lake Placid had possession with 14.8 seconds left, but was delayed from inbounding the ball at half court by Ticonderoga, which shifted possession back to the Sentinels. They were unable to score despite their three attempts until Colvin Chapman put one up barely beating the buzzer and winning the game.

It wasn’t Chapman’s only buzzer-beating, game-winning score. He had a very similar moment two years ago on JV against AuSable Valley when teammate Caleb Wiktorko attempted a game winning 3, but when it wasn’t successful, Chapman was

able to rebound and put it right back up for the win. They were the clear underdog in the last game of the season, but were able to come out with the win.

Lake Placid’s game was calmer and more controlled compared to the up-tempo Ticonderoga team. Although the Blue Bombers excelled on offense, the Sentinels were the defensive team of the game. Not only were they physical, but they had double-digit steals and optimized on their fast break opportunities. Despite their hustle, the Sentinels were down 11 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but pushed the game pace to a point where the Blue Bombers were unable to keep up and Ticonderoga made up the deficit.

Chapman had this to say about their last second win: “We weren’t doing very well in the beginning; we weren’t working together … but at half-time, Coach was talking to us and we picked it up from there.”

Chapman ended the game with 16 points, three blocks and seven rebounds. Other Sentinel play makers were Brett Mosier with seven points, all in the second half, and Evan Graney with six points.

Stat leaders for the Blue Bombers were Scott Rossi with 12

points and six rebounds and Alex Brandes with 12 points and four steals.

The girls’ game was more definitive. The Blue Bombers led through the first quarter, but the Sentinels made their comeback starting in the second quarter by increasing their time of possession.

They also had more weapons at their disposal with seven players putting up points compared to the four Blue Bombers who contributed. The initial struggle for the Sentinels could also be attributed to the fact that Jan. 7 was the debut game for their brand new offense.

Ticonderoga leaders were Nicole Fuller with 10 points and five rebounds, Delaney Highes with seven points and four blocks and Janel Woods with six points and five steals.

Lake Placid’s Lauren Rossi had eight points and three rebounds and Liza Marinis had four points.

When asked about the intensity of the game, Ticonderoga coach Rick Smith said that “it was pretty physical, but our girls don’t back down; they play hard.” He also intends to continue to work on fluidity on their new offense and better rebounding for their next game.

The Week In Review Brett Dawson scored two goals for Saranac Lake, both to tie the game, and added an assist on Zach Ellsworth’s third period score.

Ellsworth’s goal knotted the game up 3-3 with just over nine minutes to play, but Clinton scored two goals in the next two minutes and added another with 45 seconds left in the game.

Clinton led in shots 42-20, but Saranac Lake kept it close until the final stretch of the game.

Justin Farmer made 36 saves in a busy game in net for the Red Storm.

Lake Placid 3, Clinton 0 LAKE PLACID — After a scoreless first period, the Blue Bombers got rolling and scored two second-period goals on their way to the 3-0 shutout of Clinton Jan. 10.

Pat Kane scored Lake Placid’s opening goal and added an assist on Chris Williams’ score just over six minutes later. Sean Moore found the net in the third period.

Connor Preston registered two assists while Noah Mohr and Bjorn Kroes each had one.

Lake Placid outshot Clinton 27-13 in the win. Tucker Angelopoulos made 13 saves for the shutout in net.

Fulton 4, Saranac Lake 3 SARANAC LAKE — The Red Storm narrowly missed their chance at winning in sudden death as Fulton scored with 17 seconds remaining to win 4-3 on Jan. 10.

Reminiscent of their loss to Clinton the day before, the Red Storm tied the game on each of their three goals.

Evan Hill scored midway through the first period, J.B. Chapin in the second, and Drew Sturgeon found the net just six seconds into the third on a Chapin assist.

Defensively, Saranac Lake held Fulton to just 14 shots while putting 21 on net, but Fulton was able to capitalize on their chances.

Tanner Courcelle made 10 saves in net for Saranac Lake.

Girls’ basketball

Saranac 67, Saranac Lake 24 SARANAC LAKE Ñ The Chiefs continue to appear the team to beat in Division I. The Red Storm were the latest team to fall to Saranac as Kaitlyn Bowman and Kayla Napper each scored 14 points in the win.

Saranac used a big first half to pull away, scoring 21 in the first quarter and 27 in the second while holding Saranac Lake to 15.

Christina Bedard had nine points and Emma Webster eight more for the Chiefs.

Saranac Lake’s Melissa Moody scored eight in the setback, six of which came from beyond the arc. Haleigh Morgan added four more in the setback.

Plattsburgh 35, Saranac Lake 18 PLATTSBURGH — Despite going scoreless over the final eight minutes, the Hornets picked up a 17-point win over the Red Storm Jan. 8.

Shea Frady scored 15 points to lead all scorers and Ashley Marlow added 10 more as Plattsburgh used a decisive 28-8 run over the second and third quarters to pull away.

Saranac Lake kept Plattsburgh off the board in the fourth quarter, but the damage was already done.

Talia McDonough and Haleigh Morgan each scored eight points for the Red Storm in the divisional setback.

Moriah 58, Lake Placid 16 PORT HENRY — Madison Stahl scored 15 points and the Vikings held the Blue Bombers in the teens to earn the 58-16 win Jan. 9.

Shelby MacDougal and Madison Olcott each scored eight points for Moriah as they built an early 16-1 lead and never looked back.

Lauren Rossi led Lake Placid with six points and Cameron Shipman had another five in the setback.

Boys’ basketball

Saranac 57, Saranac Lake 27 SARANAC — Austin Myers scored 13 points and the Chiefs topped the Red Storm by 30 Jan. 7 in Saranac.

Saranac’s Mason Utzler had 11 more in the win as the team held the Red Storm to single digits in every quarter on their way to the win.

Though Saranac Lake had only four players get on the scoreboard, Mike Rice had a strong game as he led all scorers with 15 points. Austin Larabie had seven more to round out the bulk of the team’s scoring.

Moriah 66, Lake Placid 36 LAKE PLACID — The Vikings continue to look like the Division II favorite as the Blue Bombers became the latest to fall to Moriah 66-36 on Jan. 8.

Noah Gilbo and Adam Jaquish each scored 11 points in the win.

Jarrod MacDougal, Hayden Fernandez and Taylor Slattery each had six more.

Fourteen Moriah players got on the score sheet in the win.

Tarik Cecunjanin led Lake Placid with 11 points while Alex Brandes also went for double figures with 10.
