‘A dream come true’: Champlain Valley Milling opens new facility

Relocation of organic flour mill to Willsboro draws packed crowd to open house

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WILLSBORO | The public turned out in droves to get a glimpse of Champlain Valley Milling’s new operation in Willsboro last Saturday.

About 150 people attended the open house at the former Old Adirondack building in the Willsboro Commerce Park.

Owners Sam and Derinda Sherman called the turnout “overwhelming.”

“Without the blessing of God, and Derinda’s support guidance and love — and my children — nothing else matters in what we do,” Mr. Sherman said.

Champlain Valley Milling formerly shut down operations at their Westport location last December.

The move has been long in the making after the organic flour processor outgrew the footprint of their former facility.

“We were stretched, landlocked and heightrestricted for what we needed to do to meet our customer needs,” Mrs. Sherman said.

The new operation is located on a 10-acre plot with pre-approved zoning of 83 feet in height, a measure that allowed the familyrun business to build the silo expansion necessary to expand their white flour operation.

Height is critical when processing whole flour, and the Westport location was restricted at 37 feet. A new addition at the Willsboro location is 50 feet tall by 75 feet long and contains 105 steps to the top.

The family, including children Nate and Ayra, showcased the new facility to a raft of guests and visiting dignitaries, including state Assemblyman Dan Stec, state Senator Betty Little and Rep. Elise Stefanik.

Mr. Sherman estimates the new facility will process 6 million pounds of grain annually.

“That’s a lot of dough,” Stec quipped. » Milling Cont. on pg. 3

PLATTSBURGH | Congress must pass a spending bill in earlyFebruary to avoid another government shutdown.

But what to do with the illegal immigrants brought to the country as children poses a thorny issue as a decade of Congressional negotiations has failed to produce legislation.

President Donald Trump has promised to end the program by March 5.

The fate of the 800,000 young people known as “Dreamers” led to a brief government shutdown last week as Senate Democrats, including U.S. Sens.

LAKE PLACID | A torch used to relay Olympic fire from Greece for the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid has sold at auction for $40,706.

The sale in mid-January was made by the Boston-based RR Auctions.

Bobby Livingston, executive vice president at RR Auction, declined to divulge the buyer, citing the party wished to remain private.

But he acknowledged it’s a gentleman from the east coast “who is actively putting together a comprehensive Olympic collection.”

Designed by Don McFarland and made by Cleanweld Turner, Lake Placid’s 1980 torch was designed in bronze-colored leather and metal to symbolize a

blend of modern technology and Ancient Greece.

Just 52 people — 26 women and 26 men — carried the flame to the Games.

The fi re from Athens, Greece was flown to Langley Air Force Base where it relayed north.

The torch run in 1980 included one person representing every state plus Washington, D.C. and Lake Placid.

The relay over 1,600 kilometers was designed to retrace the American Revolution Bicentennial Trail.

“It started not far from where the first English settlers had landed in the New World, then passed through various sites of historical importance and big cities such as the capital, Washington D.C., New York and Philadelphia,” according to the Olympic Museum.

It arrived at Langley on Jan. 31, 1980 and reached Albany by Feb. 6.

“Here, the relay split in two: one route went west through the Adirondack mountains, the other east up the Champlain Valley,” the museum’s history tells.

On Feb. 8, 1980, runners reunited the fire in Lake Placid and lit the Olympic cauldron.

Only 140 torches were manufactured for the 1980 Winter Olympics, the auction house explained. It was one of the smallest production runs for any Olympic torch.

» Milling Cont. from pg. 1 Champlain Valley Milling worked with the Essex County Industrial Development Agency and Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland to secure the new space.

“He is such a great valuable asset,” Mrs. Sherman said of Gillilland. “I just can’t tell you how rewarding it was to work with him.”

The new location will allow Champlain Valley Milling to expand their storage space, as well as adhere to more stringent U.S. Food Safety Act requirements.

The homegrown company aims to expand their local product line of organic grains, which they source from both local growers and those across the state.

Wholesale clients include retail heavyweights like Whole Foods and Wegmans.

Local farmers also purchase the flour for smaller-scale operations, including the nearby Triple Jade Farm.

In fact, co-owner Dan Rivera said the allure of getting such high quality organic flour nearby was a catalyst for going into breadmaking to begin with.

“It’s like I have my own mill here in town,” he said. “It’s a bonus for us.”

During peak summer months, Triple Jade uses about 300 pounds of flour every week.

The market for organic products is booming, said the Shermans, and naysayers called the demand a passing fad when the couple purchased the former Champlain Seed Growers Co-Op in Westport in 1985.

“This is absolutely a dream come true for us,” said Mrs. Sherman, who thanked the public for their support and generosity.

The location currently employs eight people.

Little, the state senator, said the Shermans represent the model American family and praised them for their forward-thinking.

“We’re all one, really in the end, working together in trying to get ahead, creating an area where people will move to and come to, and they won’t do it if they don’t have jobs,” Little said. “When people see investments like this — and companies existing here doing well — it encourages them to look into us to see what they can do.”

Stefanik, whose parents own and operate a plywood business in Albany County, said she is familiar with the challenges facing small businesses, and praised the Shermans for persevering in a tough climate.

The packed turnout, the lawmaker said, was a testament to the respect and gratitude the community has for the family.

Dignitaries look on as Sam Sherman thanks the overflow crowd for their support.

“This is huge news for the region,” said Stefanik, “and it’s huge news for our agricultural sector, which is growing in northern New York.”

Gillilland said he was heartened by sight of trucks moving in and out of the parcel, and hoped the business would act

as magnet for more economic development, including at the industrial park contiguous to the new location.

“We never had a bite of someone wanting to be a tenant until Champlain Valley Milling moved in,” he said. “But there seems to be a great demand for people to buy lots and businesses.” ■

Arts & Entertainment

Eye on the Arts On Monday, I read a front-page article in The New York Times about Chuck Close, a famous artist from

By Elizabeth Izzo Monroe, Washington.

• COLUMNIST • Though the man is famous for his massive photorealist portraits, he made headlines not for his skill, but because allegations of misconduct and sexual harassment have been made against him.

In the wake of these claims — the likes of which have destroyed many lifelong careers and well-established reputations in recent months — Close publicly apologized, though he noted that he’d never made the inappropriate comments he’s been accused of.

The case has yet to be tried in any court of law. He wasn’t charged with any crime.

But the court of public opinion has already offered its own verdict.

The artist’s upcoming exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, set to open in May, was canceled, the Times reported.

The front page story written by Robin Pogrebin and Jennifer Schussler poses an interesting question: Close is accused of harassment.

Should his artwork be accompanied by a statement of this fact?

More broadly, in recent months a greater question has emerged: Can we separate the art from the artist?

My favorite author growing up — the man whose unique command of emotion through impactful language, to this day, still inspires me — was J.D. Salinger.

Salinger’s questionable treatment of women, some children at the time, is well-documented.

The man allegedly held relationships with women decades younger than he, as young as 15 years old.

One of my favorite musicians,

John Lennon, too, was accused of a myriad of slights against the women he crossed paths with.

As a woman, I can empathize with the women who’ve spoken up about these artists who may have abused or taken advantage of them.

But how do I reconcile my feelings about the artists’ conduct with my love for their art?

I’m not sure I have an answer for this.

I encourage our readers to write in with their thoughts.

Some things to note: first, unlike Close, many artists accused of misconduct, harassment or abuse, like John Lennon and J.D. Salinger, are no longer around to defend themselves. Second: sexual harassment, misconduct and sexual abuse are vastly different things with different implications.

That’s not to discount the women making the allegations or to imply they’re being dishonest.

If a case is tried and results in a conviction, such as we saw — rather spectacularly so — in the recent trial of Olympic doctor Larry Nassar, the work of the man is forever tainted.

Perhaps rightfully so.

In the case of Charlie Rose, a wellknown journalist and television host, eight women told The Washington Post that he’d made unwanted sexual advances toward them.

In response, Rose has said that he doesn’t believe all the allegations are accurate, and he always felt he “was pursuing shared feelings.”

Rose wasn’t convicted of anything in the court of law, but the man was fired by PBS and CBS News, and his Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism was rescinded.

This isn’t to justify that what any of these men allegedly did is even remotely okay.

But it’s important to note that the court of public opinion and the court of law are two separate things.

Should an artist’s conduct and the work he’s created be separate, too? ■

Jambs on Main jumps into Westport’s social setting New coffee shop at former diner

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | A pair of Tuft’s University skiers found their way into downtown Westport one morning, looking for a place to find a cup of coffee.

They found a place with a “coffee” and “open” side along Main Street, entering the shop to find out what it had to offer.

Behind the county, Benji White offered up the coffee options and then went to work making them each a cup.

White has been the owner and operator of Jambs on Main since the first week of October, offering mostly coffees along with teas, cappuccinos, lattes and espressos.

“The response, I would say, has been overwhelmingly overwhelming,” said White with a smile as he whipped up a cup of hot chocolate. “The people of the community have been very supportive.”

White said at times the shop also will offer locally based goods like muffins and other baked goods, as well as a small selection of other foods.

White said the popularity of the shop has continued to grow because many come to get together with friends, both old and new, to sip and speak to each other.

“This who has filled a social need that people seem to have,” White said. “I can’t tell you

how many people have said they have met more people here in the last there months than they have in 10 years living in Westport. They come here to be with each other.

It almost functions like a social hub.”

Jambs also entered the Westport business seen during a time when the town was experiencing a boom in new business with Jambs, Ledge Hill Brewery and the art gallery on Main Street.

“These openings seem to have boosted the town a lot and people are saying they feel they now have more reasons to come into the downtown and that is really nice to hear,” White said.

While the coffee business has been percolating, White said they plan to expand their services in a couple of ways as they head toward summer.

“We have an ice cream freezer and a soft serve machine we hope to set up later in the winter,” White said. “We are also doing work in the kitchen over the winter to start in the somber with a rollout of breakfast.”

White added the success of the business has been so positive early, coffee will remain a strong part of the store.

“When we bought this place, the goal was to restore it as the diner and coffee was a side project, but this has taken off so much and people have been enjoying having the coffee shop in Westport, so I think we will play it by ear as we get ready to expand into breakfast,” he said. “The goal now is to become a great place for breakfast.”

Jambs on Main is open most Weekdays from 7:30 a.m.-noon and 3-6 p.m., and most weekends from 7:30 a.m.-noon More information can be found on Facebook and Instagram, using the name Jambs on Main. ■

Benji White serves up some coffee at Jambs on Main in Westport. The coffee shop, opened since Oct. 4, offers coffee’s and other drinks while hoping to expand to a breakfast menu by summer.

WILLSBORO | Lucy Belzile, 92, of Willsboro, passed away on Jan. 24, 2018 surrounded by her family.

Lucy was born in Amqui, Quebec on Jan. 13, 1926 to the late Emile and Eva Raymond.

She grew up and worked on the family farm along with her 12 brothers and sisters.

On April 23, 1949 she married her one and only love, Roger Belzile, and moved from Quebec to Willsboro where they raised their family.

Lucy dedicated her life to loving and caring for her children and soon found herself surrounded by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gramma loved cooking traditional French-Canadian food, listening to French music and speaking her native language with whomever she could. Her quick wit and sense of humor made for lively rounds of Bingo and Rummikub. Friends and

family learned quickly to play by her rules and that she had amazing luck.

A lifelong Catholic, Lucy was unwavering in her faith and was always mindful of her blessings.

Her life story was one of courage and perseverance. She moved to a new country, learned a new language, raised a large family, battled various health conditions and beat cancer at the age of 80.

She shared her gratitude for having had a long and full life on earth often and at the end she was at peace and looking forward to a reunion with Poppy.

Lucy was predeceased by her husband of 58 years and all her siblings. She is survived by her children Danny (Rhonda) Belzile, Joanne (George) Betters, Gilbert (Joanne) Belzile, Nancy Belzile, Diane (Kevin) Formway, and Lori (Kevin) Polhemus; 16 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

I believe in...

In the late 1970s, I was managing the Corry, Pa. Chamber of Commerce. The chamber’s membership was downBy Dan Alexander town-centric, primar• PUBLISHER • ily made up of retails stores, service organizations and local industry.

At the time, downtowns were thought to be outdated and fading as far as being a prime retail center. New strip malls and plazas were all the rage, somewhat like online shopping is perceived today.

Parking in downtown was not always convenient, and parking meters were viewed as killing commerce.

Before my appointment as the chamber executive director, Corry was in the planning stages of a redevelopment project with new streetscapes and searching for a new vision for repurposing the old downtown. Many different opinions were stalling progress.

Working with community leaders, we launched an ambitious program to rename “downtown” to “uptown” and created a communitywide program we called I.B.I.C., short for, “I believe in Corry.”

We placed banners in stores, wore name tags and offered bumper stickers.

Every radio commercial and newspaper ad was tagged with IBIC. The entire community embraced the concept.

Who couldn’t be for the city?

We invited shoppers to Friday night concerts, free food and beverages, entertainment for the kids and placed Free Parking bags over every single parking meter.

As we began promoting outside the city into neighboring communities, we realized our draw was stronger by inviting our plaza and strip malls into the community promotion and a new partnership was born.

These new retail points added to the diversity of the city, not to its detriment.

The difference was we stopped complaining and looking to place blame for our failures and began thinking differently. We were open to new ideas, and we all understood our economic future depended on our collective success.

So why the story from long ago?

Last week at the Davos Economic Summit, President Trump used a term that brought back great memories when he declared, “I Believe in America.”

America today is like Corry back then.

We had been through some rough times. Lots of folks were complaining and arguing about how or if to move forward. We finally realized what was holding us back was ourselves. Once we joined forces and focused on the future rather than the past, it was our attitude and our absolute belief in our city that made all the difference.

Our most important common denominator is our belief in America. ■

Opinion

From the Editorial Board

Boreas decision a win for compromise — but work remains The Adirondack Park Agency has reached a verdict on the long-awaited decision on how to classify the Boreas Ponds Tract.

The state agency announced last week a proposed alternative plan that will cleave the 20,578-acre parcel down the middle, allowing for both Wild Forest and Wilderness.

Stakeholders have largely praised what’s been branded as a compromise solution.

We agree.

Connecting Dix Mountain and High Peaks will create the third-largest wilderness east of the Mississippi River, allowing environmental groups to celebrate a keystone achievement — albeit not as large as they hoped.

Under the proposed plan, the pristine ponds at the center of the parcel will see a wilderness buffer, a measure that will rope off the ponds to motorized access.

And it’s a “clean classification” that avoids the jigsaw-like partition of the Essex Chain of Lakes, a haphazard determination green groups have argued has limited their appeal to outdoor adventurers.

Local governments are buoyed about the prospects of recreational offerings that will throw a lifeline to the touch-and-go economy, as well as provide ample access for the disabled and aging sportsmen.

The majority of Gulf Brook Road will remain open, and the prospects of a snowmobile trail around the southern portion of the property should be enticing enough for the area hoteliers, restaurants and taverns

who depend on snowbound visitors help them through the lean winter months.

If formally approved on Friday by the APA, the plan will be sent to the governor for his signature.

Finding the sweet spot between environmental stewardship and economic development underpins all discourse in the Adirondacks.

How to classify the former timberlands has been a lightning rod ever since the Nature Conservancy bought the parcels in 2012 and sold them to the state four years later.

The discussion reopened old battlelines during the public comment process, threatening to upend years of a more civil public discourse that has recently characterized land use discussions in the Adirondack Park.

We endorsed Alternative 1 in an editorial in December 2016, and the state’s preferred option, Alternative 2B, comes close.

At the same time, we admitted that many of the arguments made a by coalition of environmental groups had merit, including the danger posed by invasive species to the precious namesake ponds at the center of the parcel.

How far people will be allowed to go around the ponds will be determined in the upcoming Unit Management Plan process.

We advocated for a UMP that closely mirrors their proposal, halting vehicular traffic at LaBier Flow, one mile from Boreas Ponds.

And we still do.

However, it should be noted that this isn’t exactly a kumbaya moment.

Be wary of phone scams

To the Editor: The Essex County Sheriff ’s Office is asking residents to be cautious when giving out information over the phone.

This is the time of year when telephone scammers seem to be flourishing. Please be extremely cautious about giving any information out over the phone and especially anything financial.”

Some typical scam calls are calls from the “IRS” that demand you pay back taxes or face arrest; utility scammers who threaten to turn off your service if you don’t pay immediately; automotive aftermarket warranty companies and alleged police charities such as the New York State Police Fund who promise to put money into police training.

A recent call from this organization originated in Texas.

Another scam is to call and pretend to be a young relative in trouble either arrested, in an accident or stranded.

The person then asks for money to be wired or gift cards to be purchased and the numbers given over the phone so that they can then get out of jail or return home.

Before you do anything, verify that your relative is safe and not the victim the caller wants you to believe they are.

How to spot illegitimate calls: • Legitimate charities do not usually do phone solicitation.

If asked for donations, politely ask for a mailing and do not give anything out to unknown callers.

• Be aware of seemingly local numbers.

• Technology can now make caller ID show whatever number they choose to appear regardless of the origin of the call

We called the debate “flawed from the start” in Dec. 2016, arguing the lack of a comprehensive inventory of existing structures left over from a century of logging operations — including roads and bridges — led to needless squabbling and vitriol during the public hearing process.

Each side rallied their troops, which is great. But the status of the infrastructure poses a central component to the land’s ability to withstand use.

As such, much of the debate was poisoned.

The dearth of additional data left the door ajar for inaccurate information to be disseminated, helping to stifle dialogue, drive people apart and widen distrust in government.

So as we all celebrate this latest compromise, we should continue to pressure the state to reform the process.

While Boreas is expected to be final acquisition of its size added to state Forest Preserve, it certainly will not be the last.

And would increased funding for the state Department of Environmental Conservation to hire more Forest Rangers be too much to ask?

We understand funding for all state departments remains flat — especially when the state faces a $4.4 billion budget shortfall.

But as the state continues to add land to its vast holdings and market the region as a global vacation destination, it also must ensure the proper personnel are deployed to protect both the public and these new assets.

Politically-motivated attacks on the media undermine our democracy

To the Editor: It has become fashionable to attack our traditional news sources, as was done in a recent editorial in The Sun. As voters, we need to be able to distinguish between factual sources and those which are more interested in promoting a political line than in honest reporting.

As a finance professional, I cannot afford to indulge in fantasy “facts.” I have had to operate in a factual world. Th is involves reading the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Yes, their editorial pages are very different, but I can rely on honest, well-researched factual news articles from both papers concerning financial, economic and political news, both domestic and international.

In this country, we are blessed with some of the best-quality newspapers in the world, observing the highest standards of journalistic integrity. » Letters Cont. on pg. 7

Cuomo, DOT commended for flooding response

To the Editor: The Town of Thurman thanks Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Department of Transportation (DOT) Acting Commissioner Paul Karas for opening the State Route 418 bridge in record time and for their exemplary service and continuing attention to our community.

Gov. Cuomo took time to conference call the Thurman and Warrensburg supervisors. The governor said that he shared in our frustration with the situation caused by the Hudson River flooding and ice jam and assured both towns that his office would do everything possible to reopen the bridge.

True to his word, once flood waters receded DOT workers removed 40 tons of huge glacier like chunks of ice which the Hudson River had flung across Route 418 shutting down Thurman’s main route out of town.

We also thank the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, state DOT, state Office of Emergency Management, state Department of Environmental Conservation, Albany County Sheriff (for drone observations), Warren County Soil and Water, New York State Police, Warren County Sheriff, Thurman Fire Department, Johnsburg Fire and EMS, Warrensburg Fire and EMS, Stony Creek Fire and EMS, Garnet Lake Fire Department, Warren County DOT, Warren County Office of Emergency Services Brian LaFlure and Amy Hirsch, state Forest Ranger Callee Baker, Thurman Resident Teddy Baker and our own Thurman Highway Department Crew.

These people worked tirelessly knocking on doors to warn of flooding, helping displaced residents, rescuing a town truck precariously close to falling off the remaining lane of River Road into the river and doing everything possible to ensure the safety of our town’s people.

Thurman’s River Road is closed to thru traffic as 700 feet of the one remaining lane looks down on a 25 foot vertical drop into the river.

Thurman residents wait for spring and wonder what Mother Nature and the mighty Hudson will bring.

BRIEFS

Historian to speak about local library’s origins

Worried over expanding Democratic congressional field

To the Editor: Yet another Democrat congressional candidate — the ninth — joins the race for the 21st District?

Seriously?

C’mon people, what are you thinking?

Yes, it’s laudable that you have the courage and conviction to put yourselves out there for all to see, but doesn’t it dawn on you that 1) Your positions are probably not that much different from the other candidates, and 2) All you’re doing is watering down the public attention and donor impact for the other candidates who have put so much into this already.

Given the predominantly Republican leaning of this district and the substantial war chest that Stefanik has, it will already be an uphill struggle for whomever ends up being the Democratic candidate.

Why not throw your support behind one of the candidates who have already put so much into campaigning?

Is it hubris that you think you have so much more and different to offer?

Is it lack of research to appreciate what the others have accomplished so far?

Cobb, Martz, Wilson, Nelson and Boyajian all announced before Aug. 1, 2017, and have been working hard with public appearances, fundraising, and building a volunteer base.

Cobb and Boyajian have consistently raised more than the other candidates, and Cobb has garnered the most in small individual donations.

I think you are undermining the credibility of the whole Democratic effort to unseat Paul Ryan’s protege.

America’s world standing sinking under Trump administration

To the Editor: A thousand private jets, with 10 times the carbon footprint of commercial airplanes, converged on Davos, Switzerland for the annual World Economic Forum.

This year’s theme was “Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World.” One of the keynote speakers was Donald J. Trump.

Other world leaders were there, too.

Canada’s prime minister spoke on gender equality and woman’s rights. India’s prime minister discussed climate change and ambitious goals for renewable energy.

Our president avoided such topics, leading the only country on earth to disregard the Paris

Climate Agreement, and personally accused of sexual misconduct by 19 women. The big challenge for him was to refrain from using racist vulgarities while articulating his strategy to “share” in a world he is “fracturing.”

His address was intended to repair our country’s declining brand name by asserting that America is “open for business.” It’s a curious topic, considering the administration withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, threatens to exit NAFTA and recently imposed more import tariffs.

The speech is undoubtedly a reaction to our sinking world standing under this administration’s mismanagement. A graphic from one of the WEF presentations illustrated one consequence: corporate America’s precipitous brand decline last year.

If the trend continues, South Korea will surpass us in 2018. Canada is in first place, precisely why Amazon is eying Toronto as its new headquarters.

One man’s trash could be one town’s history

To the Editor: Sadly, homeowners have discarded many ordinary artifacts though the years without a thought of preserving them for the sake of history.

Today’s humdrum items or yesteryear’s outdated objects are tomorrow’s historical treasures.

Land deeds, school memorabilia, local advertising giveaways, household gadgets, toys, laces, linens and all other indications of daily life here in Warrensburg that would have served as visual examples of the past are all gone.

To prevent this from happening any longer, the town historian and the Warrensburgh Museum have a firm secure protocol in place to preserve, document and protect those items.

It is important for us not to throw out papers or objects that would serve to display life as it was to those who will follow in years to come.

Whenever clearing out an estate or downsizing your own possessions, check out that bottom kitchen drawer or the one in the nightstand or dresser.

If you think you have such an item such as a ledger, kitchen or workshop tool with a Warrensburg business name on it, advertising promotional materials, photos (please name people and date, if known) or any personal item that is unique to Warrensburg’s history, please consider gifting it to the historian or museum.

Or if you have treasured family items and no one to preserve them, this is an acceptable alternative.

Every family name must be mentioned in the annals of this historic town and your name is important to that goal.

Elected officials must clarify stance on controversial issues like the SAFE Act

By Thomas McGinty Patriots of Warren County are interested in the opinions of all our elected officials relative to the NY SAFE Act [New York Secure Ammunition & Firearms Enforcement Act] implementation and enforcement, considering that we feel this law is unconstitutional. Therefore, it should not be enforced by our elected officials.

I wanted to ask our Warren County District Attorney Jason Carusone his opinion and thoughts on the law in order to share this information with over 300 patriots of Warren County.

What precipitated this was the SAFE Act’s requirement of license re-certification by January 31, 2018.

Failure to re-certify will result in the automatic revocation of the pistol holder’s license, which could potentially make felons of innocent people.

They would be criminalized and have to either turn in, or have their firearms confiscated, along with the associated legal costs surrounding such a situation.

My first attempt to contact the district attorney was an email, to which I received a generic reply that my communication was forwarded to the district attorney’s office.

I telephoned the following day to try and set an appointment, mentioning my email and the purpose of my request.

I was told someone would get back to me if the district attorney was interested in having a discussion.

At this point, I decided to go to the office the day after to set an appointment or take a chance on an impromptu meeting. At reception, after some “questioning,” I was told to just leave a card and if there was interest, someone would call me.

Well, to this date, there is no response.

Patriot groups across New York need to know where our elected officials stand on controversial issues such as the SAFE Act and the multitude of penalties which can effect law abiding citizens.

In addition to the licensed gunowners of Warren County, I believe the general citizenry would also like to know the district attorney’s position on the SAFE Act, re-certification, and how these cases will be handled.

Based on my attempts to contact and communicate with the DA, I am very disappointed and left with my own assumptions.

It’s appropriate that I should share my experience with the public. My personal opinion is that when our officials have been elected, they soon forget how they obtained their positions. ■ — Thomas McGinty is a member and representative of Patriots of Warren County and New York.

» Immigration Cont. from pg. 1 The House last week passed a stopgap spending bill to fund the government for three weeks, ending the three-day shutdown.

“I’m optimistic that we come to a deal,” Rep. Elise Stefanik told The Sun in an interview. “I think we absolutely need to legislatively fix DACA and address that population.”

Stefanik lashed Schumer and Gillibrand for their role in the impasse, arguing the duo played partisan politics while using the Children’s Health Insurance Program as a bargaining chip.

Schumer, for his part, has blamed the breakdown on Trump’s waffling, likening the process to “negotiating with Jell-O.” Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said he would allow an immigration vote in the coming weeks.

New York’s 21st Congressional District is home to approximately 100 Dreamers, according to Stefanik.

The second-term lawmaker called the young immigrants “very talented young people who haven’t really known anywhere else.”

But a long-term plan also needs to address root causes and fixes to the nation’s immigration system, including investments in border security, said the lawmaker.

Trump said on Sunday he’d consider a pathway to citizenship in 12 years for enrollees, as well as double the number of recipients.

But he tied the offer to $25 billion for a border wall with Mexico and a reduction of family-based immigration (often referred to as “chain migration” by the White House) and visa lotteries.

Stefanik has previously pushed back against Trump’s proposed border wall — “I don’t think the president’s plan is right on this,” Stefanik said at a forum in Plattsburgh last year — and has said she would instead prefer to see stronger border security measures.

“That means increasing our technological capabilities on the southern border and potentially increasing personnel,” Stefanik told The Sun, “and not having a one size fits all when it comes to the southern border, and certainly having a different approach when it comes to the northern border where we have completely different issues.”

DACA will formally end on March 5, but that deadline remains in flux — and cloudy as potential lawsuits threaten to stave off potential deportations.

SMALL PROTEST

Six activists gathered outside of Stefanik’s district office in downtown Plattsburgh last week and called for the GOPcontrolled House to pass a “clean bill,” or one that would offer Dreamers a path to citizenship that is not tied to other policies.

Trump’s decision to eliminate the Obama-era program last

Protesters called on Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) last week to pass a bill to protect illegal immigrants brought to the country as children. Congress must pass a bill by Feb. 8 to avoid another government shutdown. Photo by Elizabeth Izzo September was “inhumane,” said organizer Mary-Alice Shemo.

“I feel the Statue of Liberty must be hanging her head in shame because of how we treat our immigrants,” Shemo said. “It’s not my America.”

DACA, she said, is being “held hostage in a game of political football.”

“It shouldn’t have been part of the budget (discussions) to begin with,” she said.

Wendy Bridges said, “I really don’t think people should be deported. I want (Stefanik) to realize that there’s people here who care for (Dreamers) in this community, and want her to care, too.”

The program shields people from deportation and is renewable every two years. Most enrollees came through Mexico, including many originally from nations in Central and South America and Asia.

The program does not provide a pathway to citizenship, but recipients are allowed to work and attend school. Those with serious misdemeanor of felony convictions are ineligible to participate.

Similar rallies were held outside the lawmaker’s Watertown and Glens Falls offices.

STATE EFFORTS

The program has also unlocked access to in-state tuition, grants and loans in some states — including New York.

Recipients in the Empire State also qualify for employmentbased health care, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week ordered the some 42,000 recipients in the state will remain eligible for state-funded Medicaid regardless of any federal changes.

The Valley News Sun | February 3, 2018 • 9

Cuomo, who is rumored to be eying a 2020 presidential bid, called the federal government’s failure to take action to protect DACA recipients “appalling, un-American, unjust and puts hundreds of thousands of children at risk.”

The governor is pushing for Senate Democrats to use their leverage and shift their posture to “negotiate from strength” by using the power of the 60-vote necessity, a procedure he says will put the brakes on the president.

“As Washington holds DACA recipients hostage for funding for a wall, we will not allow vitriol and dysfunction to put lives at risk,” Cuomo said in a statement. “We will continue to stand up for the rights of immigrants, and will continue to defend the principles of opportunity and equality that this state and this nation were founded upon.”

Deporting Dreamers, said the governor, would entail months of court battles and mass demonstrations.

“No state, New York foremost, would sit quietly and allow families to be ripped apart,” Cuomo wrote in a Medium post last week. “Once pressed, Republican elected officials may very well abandon the President on the issue.”

AT SUNY

SUNY Plattsburgh has been bracing for changes to the program, and has been offering counseling and services to students who may be impacted.

“We have also communicated that our students need not be overly concerned about Homeland Security or federal agents showing up on campus because colleges continue to be treated as ‘sensitive locations,’” said Ken Knelly, a spokesman for SUNY Plattsburgh. “Further, campus police do not act as federal agents.”

The SUNY system does not separate students based on their immigration status or track DACA recipients on a central level.

And SUNY Plattsburgh, for their part, does not ask students during the admission process to provide that information.

“If that information were to be in the hands of a separate party, it could be wrongfully used, likely against the recipient of course,” Acting Chief of Staff & Director of Legislative Affairs for SUNYSA Austin Ostro told The Sun last September.

“Having that information is essentially a violation of privacy.”

The college hosted a DACA-related forum last fall following the president’s decision to terminate the program.

“As students return to campus next week, we may see further communication or such in the spring, based on events,” Knelly said.

Polling shows DACA has broad popular support in the U.S., with a CBS News poll released last week revealing 87 percent of Americans want Dreamers to stay in the country. ■ — Elizabeth Izzo contributed reporting

Willsboro Central youth to present ‘Jungle Book Kids’ Elementary musical set for this weekend

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WILLSBORO | Elementary students here have searched out the bare necessities of life and are ready to share them with audiences this weekend.

‘The Jungle Book Kids’ will take to the stage of Willsboro Central School Friday and Saturday, Feb. 2-3, at 7 p.m., with an encore performance Sunday, Feb 4, at 3 p.m.

Director Derrick Hopkins said the play had always been in the files for the elementary arm of the Drama Club, but had not been a play he felt would be good for the group.

“About a year ago, I got a message from the production company saying they had revised and rewritten the script,” Hopkins said. “I

ordered a new copy and it was so much better and something I felt our kids could do.”

The troupe for the elementary production is abut 50 strong ranging from students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.

“They were ready for this the second ‘Shrek’ ended,” said music director Jennifer Moore about the kids level of excitement. “They knew the story and already knew some of the lines and songs when they came into the auditions. It is a very dedicated group of kids.”

Moore said she has worked with the youth to help them keep time to the accompaniment CD both in range and tempo.

“We work a lot of vocal development and making their voices flexible,” Moore said.

Students have been working between four and five days each week preparing for their opening night.

They have done everything in practice to get the singing down and the dance numbers,” he said. “The youngest kids are doing a great

“This is really a special moment for Lake Placid and for the region and we can welcome this event officially to the community and for what this can do for all levels of sport,”

said Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall. “This comes about because of the events we have participated in over the past 10 years. Over the years of meetings in various places, but mostly Switzerland, we have had opportunities to speak to organizations and interests have surfaced.”

Randall said the venture moved forward in 2016 when local athletes competed in the ICG in Germany.

“It is bringing our young children to regions where they can learn about other cultures and other communities and that can open their minds,” Randall said. “This is just a very unique experience and I am very proud we are signing the host city agreement. It is a very special and emotional event for many people. I expect we will provide a very kind experience for all of your people.”

ICG President Torsten Rasch said the event is now entering its 50th year.

“This will be the first time we will have the games in an Olympic City and Winter Games in the United States,” Rasch said.

The real impact of the games is made upon the youth who

compete in them, he said.

“If you want to have a real authentic view of the games, you had 16 wonderful ambassadors of the games and they were true ambassadors for the games,” he said. “For them, it is more important how they interact together and get to know each other, and they get to compete for a medal. I think Lake Placid will bring smiles to these children.”

ABOUT THE GAMES

The International Children’s Winter Games will take place from Jan. 6-11 next year, with up to 1,000 athletes anticipated to compete in a number of winter sporting events including alpine, freestyle and cross country skiing, biathlon, snowboarding, figure skating, speed skating and hockey.

There is also the possibility the ICWG will utilize the Mt. Hoevenburg sliding track to include events such as bobsled and more.

Youth from around 60 cities across the globe come together to compete in these events, which were started in 1968.

LAKE PLACID | The Zonta Club of the Adirondacks closed a successful 2017 with outreach to women and girls near and far.

Although new to this region, Zonta Clubs across the country have marked nearly a century of service around the globe.

“The mission of Zonta is squarely centered around women’s equality, empowering women and girls through service and advocacy projects,” Zonta Club’s Adirondack President Amy Quinn said of their new charter.

The local group formed last July, and by fall, had organized an Autumn a la Carte fundraiser, held at Heaven Hill.

“The event brought over 100 local residents together for an evening of food tastings, auction baskets and live music, featuring donations of local female business owners, chefs and bakers and the live music of local talent,” Quinn said of their inaugural function.

Proceeds from what Quinn described as a “huge success” allowed Zonta to provide go-bags for women fleeing domestic violence in this region.

In November, with an additional gift from Kinney Drugs, the club stuffed 10 duffle bags and seven tote bags with essential personal hygiene items and basic baby and toddler supplies.

The supplies are necessities for women leaving abusive situations at home, Quinn said.

“These bags were delivered to STOP Domestic Violence in Westport, a New York State certified program assisting victims of domestic violence, 24-hours-a-day, in Essex, Franklin and Clinton counties. STOP Domestic Violence will hold and distribute the bags to those in need.”

The Zonta Club of the Adirondacks intends to make the duffle bag donations an ongoing service project each time the supply is depleted, Quinn said.

Zonta outreach also touched the wind and water-torn shores of Puerto Rico.

“At the time we planned Autumn a la Carte, we were watching the devastation unfold in Puerto Rico, and we wanted to address some basic human needs related to our mission of helping women and girls.

“Generous donations of Adirondack residents — from individuals and local businesses — allowed us to make a $2,000 donation to Coordinadora Paz para La Mujer Inc (Peace Coordinator for Women), which is a non-governmental organization committed to eradication of domestic violence and sexual assault in Puerto Rico.

“This organization is known for their ‘Violet Caravan’ program, an outreach clinic that travels the island with mobile health and support services, including licensed psychologists.

“Their director told me that the increased need for these services post-hurricane Maria have been overwhelming,” Quinn said.

While hurricane and disaster relief in general is not womenspecific, Quinn said, “we felt it was relevant to Zonta’s mission.”

Statistics show that women are more likely to suffer domestic or sexual violence after a natural disaster, Quinn said.

The club then participated in Zonta’s worldwide #16Days of Advocacy, an annual worldwide awareness program that brings attention to the worldwide crisis of violence against women in many forms: domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault and female genital mutilation.

With local business support, the Olympic Center marquis

in Lake Placid was ablaze with the orange logo reading “Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women” during the holiday season, Quinn said.

And then, in the spirit of the holidays, the Zonta Club here wrapped the year with gifts.

“But instead of a gift exchange between club members, we adopted a Puerto Rican couple with two young children who recently relocated to Essex County to live and work after the hurricanes.”

Warm clothes, household items, food and gas money cards were among holiday gifts collected and wrapped for the family, Quinn said.

The family’s plight came to light through one Zonta member.

“Our club never learned the names or any personal details of the family,” Quinn told The Sun. “This was both due to confidentiality issues, as well as the fact that it really didn’t matter to our club.

“We had a member who identified a community need through her work, and we wanted to help make a difference.

That was enough for our generous Zontians.”

The group’s response was swift and thorough.

“One of our board members, Joan Kelleher, made up a spread sheet with the family’s various needs, which was communicated by the member who brought us the idea.

Within 24 hours, each and every item on the spreadsheet had been spoken for.

“We understand that the donations were a huge boost up for the family, as their holiday needs were met and then some,” Quinn said.

“This club is about taking action to help others, and it’s a joy and an honor to be a part of,” said Quinn.

“We’ve got a great group of people who are motivated to be the change that they wish to see in this world -- both globally

The greatest concession food ever!

Chiefs back atop indoor standings

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

Needless to say, I have been to a few athletic contests in my days.

High school, college and professional, I have been there.

And. needless to say, I often

By Keith Lobdell sample the concession stands • SPORTS EDITOR • throughout northern New York, along with some out west.

During that time, you get some staples, go-to foods that if you are at their place, you have to have.

Until recently, the concession food at the top of my list was easily the French fries you get at George Brendler Field in Chazy: Mickey Fries, they are called, after their creator, Mickey Khan.

As far as I am concerned, they are the perfect crispness, perfect seasoned, ideal spud creation of all time.

However, this winter it has been replaced on the summit of the concession food mountain by something so simple, so basic, I would have never thought of it.

Grilled cheese.

Yes, grilled cheese. If I could get the grilled cheese at Westport Central School with a side of Mickey Fries from Chazy, that may be nirvana.

However, I feel bad about the timing of this column, because the senior class who came up with this slice of deliciousness is no longer fundraising after the second academic quarter has ended. But still, I must write about this with the hopes of this catching on.

It was the senior class at Westport who came up with the idea of adding grilled cheese to the menu of your usual hot dogs, chips, candy and other concession items, and it became the biggest seller they have had during their four years of fundraising.

How simple!

Ingredients needed: bread, cheese, maybe some butter. Have an oven around — boom!

You got grilled cheese.

It’s so simple, yet a staple of almost everyone’s childhood or sick days. They also sold a side of tomato soup, and while I’m not a fan, I know there are many who are. It is one of those things that I think many will say, why didn’t we think of this sooner.

And while there may still be grilled cheese at future games, it may never be the same recipe.

But it will forever be up there as a Hall of Fame concession food.

So, now I will be on the lookout for the next great menu item to join Westport grilled cheese and Mickey Fries to be deemed worthy to join them in concession stand greatness.

Great, now I’m hungry, and the Chazy preseason soccer tournaments don’t begin for another seven months...

And as an aside: Patriots over Eagles in Super Bowl. Why? I want New England’s only Super Bowl losses ever to be against the same team and same QB - Eli and the Giants. ■

WESTPORT | Stifling defense and a balanced scoring attack were the key to the Westport Lady Eagles (11-2) scoring a 54-39 win over sixth-ranked Bolton in a matchup of divisional leaders in the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference Jan. 24.

Westport held a 25 point lead heading into the fourth quarter, allowing Bolton to score no more than 10 points in establishing a lead that even a 25-point quarter by Bolton could not overcome.

“One of the best defensive performances of the season for our team,” said Westport head coach Brad Rascoe after the game. “There was a lot of communication between our players that you could hear on the bench and they did a good job switching off screens. Taylor (Gough) did a great job defending the Pratt girl and making her work on offense.

The intensity was there from the start until we backed off.”

“That was a very good defensive job tonight,” said Gough.

“I think we are communicating well on defense and trying to play as a team on that end.”

“We definitely were talking to each other and had a very strong defensive game tonight,” said Lizzie Stephens. “We wanted to set a strong tempo.”

Bolton head coach Luke Schweickert gave all credit to his opponent for handing his team their first loss of the season (10-1).

“We got behind early and got a little bit flustered. They did a really good job with their press and we made some mistakes early that were forced by them,” he said. “They limited us on second chances and they were able to get out and run and get a lead which we had not dealt with this season.

They did a really good job dictating the pace of the game.”

Along with a strong defensive effort, Westport was also able to get scoring from throughout their lineup.

While leading scorer Hannah Schwoebel had 17 points with 14 rebounds, eighth grader Rachel Storey added 10, Stephens 9 points and five assists, Gough 8 points, Ellie Storey 6 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, while Malynda Lobdell came off the bench to score four points during the teams 10-0 run in the third quarter.

“Rachel found her range tonight hitting some foul shots and other key shots,” Rascoe said. “Lizzie can be a threat from outside and if she gets 6-10 points a game, she is a problem for other teams. Taylor can get the ball in the basket and when they get hot together it is a bonus.”

“The kids that were left open did a great job hitting their shots and they moved the ball around very well,” said Schweickert.

Rascoe said this was a strong step forward for the team.

“We have seen little things throughout the season that are coming together with communication,” Rascoe said.

“Defense has been strong all year but the offense is coming together and they are talking more.”

For Bolton, Maddie Pratt finished with 8 points but had 19 rebounds and five blocked shots. Katelyn Van Auken scored 16 points to lead the team, scoring 9 of her 16 in the fourth quarter. Ashley Connery added 4 points and 9 rebounds, Maria Baker added 9 points.

If both squads of Eagles can stay atop their divisions, the two teams would meet again in the MVAC league championship game, as both teams boast unblemished records in their respective divisions in the MVAC. ■

North Country reps back domestic violence legislation Jones pens bill in memory of slain Tupper Lake woman

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | State Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) has authored a bill that would increase required reporting of suspected domestic violence cases to local social services agencies.

The legislation would require medical, social service and school professionals to report suspected domestic violence to the proper authorities.

“Domestic violence often goes unreported as victims fear violent reprisals from their abusers, Jones said. “That’s why it’s so important that we ensure more reporting of suspected domestic abuse to the police. With this legislation, we can better assist victims and ultimately save lives.”

The bill was drafted to honor Jamie Rose Martin, a Tupper Lake mother of two who was murdered by her estranged partner last year.

Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said “seeing

something and saying something” will save lives.

“We need more outspoken people on the issue of domestic violence,” said Little in a statement. “Too many victims have, and continue to, suffer in silence, living a life compromised by fear. The best way to combat this isn’t by burying our heads but by being a voice for those who lack the courage — and the support network — to stand up for themselves. It can be very tempting to turn away and pretend we don’t see something that we don’t want to get involved in.”

Behavioral Health Service North’s STOP Domestic Violence Program supports the measure.

“When a victim of domestic violence has the courage to disclose that they are in a violent relationship to a reporting facility — such as a hospital, school, et cetera — and that institution does not provide a referral to local domestic violence services, the results can be fatal,” said the program’s director, Amber Brown-Rose.

ASSEMBLY MINORITY REPORT

Across the aisle, Assembly Republicans have released a package of recommendations designed to combat domestic violence.

The proposals stem from five forums held around the state where victims, advocates, law enforcement officials and state legisla-

tors explored ways to curtail violence and offer support for survivors.

“This open discussion and free flow of ideas played a huge part in the crafting of our report and helped us provide the necessary suggestions we believe will combat the problem,” said state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) in a statement.

Main recommendations from the Assembly Minority Conference report include measures to declare domestic violence a statewide public health crisis, create a law making domestic violence in the presence of a child a more severe offense and create a state-funded training system for the courts and public officials to provide more “seamless assistance” to victims.

The package will also seek funding to cover the housing needs of victims seeking shelter, arrange for reimbursement for each person these shelters assist, help localities fund “emergency panic buttons” for victims and arrange funds to help negate the cost of living expenses victims suffer while seeking help to distance themselves from their abuser.

Other measures are aimed at increasing student and public awareness.

“Hopefully moving forward, this information will be beneficial in drafting legislation as domestic abuse not only affects victims but

their children as well,” said Stec. “Any way that we can make their transition process and removal from the home safer and more efficient is a step in the right direction.”

RISE IN VIOLENCE

The proposals come as domestic violence appears to be on an uptick in the Empire State.

The state Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence reported “intimate partner homicides” increased 22 percent in 2016 over the previous year, according to the Assembly Minority Conference report.

And the total number of orders of protection reported to the statewide registry of orders of protection and warrants reached a five-year high in 2016, the Office of Court Administration reported.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month proposed taking away guns from anyone charged with domestic abuse.

Under the proposed legislation, anyone charged with domestic violence crimes — including misdemeanors — will immediately be forced to relinquish their firearms.

“This year will be remembered as the year of reckoning, when both the tragedy of mass shootings and cultural and institutional harassment of women became impossible to ignore,” he said. ■
