More details \ emerge in Medicaid conspiracy scheme Medical transport companies hauled in nearly $10 million in two years

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | A sixth defendant has been arraigned on federal conspiracy charges related to a sweeping Medicaid fraud scheme.

Arshad Nazir was charged last Thursday with conspiracy to commit health care fraud and offering and conspiring to pay bribes and kickbacks to Medicaid beneficiaries.

Following his appearance at the Northern District of New York United States District Court in Plattsburgh, Nazir was remanded into the custody of state police, and is expected to face additional charges as part of the joint state and federal probe of what authorities contend is an industry plagued with corruption and abuse.

Defendants arrested as part of a criminal probe into Medicaid fraud appeared at Northern District of New York United States District Court in Plattsburgh on Thursday.

Photo by Pete DeMola Details on potential state charges were not immediately available.

Ten medical taxi providers across the eastern Adirondacks have been implicated in the scheme.

Nazir, owner of Avalanche Taxi in Ticonderoga, is the 13th defendant to face criminal charges.

LUCRATIVE INDUSTRY

For the suspects, many of whom have associations with convenience stores and other businesses across the region, linking into the state’s Medicaid transport system via startup taxi operations proved to be extremely lucrative.

Since 2015, Adirondack Taxi & Limo, Ti Taxi and Green

Mountain Medical Transportation have collectively received $7.3 million in taxpayer-funded payments, according to the FBI, and Nazir’s indictment brings the total number to $9.7 million.

It’s unclear how many of those were legitimate medical trips, but the funds pouring in from the state Department of Health (DOH) constituted all but a small percentage of their profits.

The FBI cited intercepted phone discussions between Nazir and Adirondack Taxi & Limo owner Khalid Chadder discussing in their native Punjabi what appeared to be a systemic payment and gift structure designed for drivers to convince passengers to retain their services to transport them to what were ostensibly medical appointments across the region. » Fraud Cont. on pg. 2

RAY BROOK | Current and retired members of Troop B of the New York State Police came together to remember those who had gone before them in the annual Memorial Day service last week.

“It’s just great to see the old guys and reminisce about different things that happened over the years,” said Phil Arsenault, a retired trooper.

“To have these guys come here and stay around to meet with each other and the current troopers now, it’s just amazing,” said Troop B Commander John Tibbitts. “These are the ones we refer to when we talk about being set upon the backs of giants.” » Troop B Cont. on pg. 3

“Nazir informed Chadder how his drivers pay money to passengers,” according to a signed affidavit by FBI special agent Michelle L. Pherson. “Then the passengers apparently negotiate with the drivers, looking for more money.”

In the phone call, Nazir told Chadder how he’d entice passengers with $20, $40 and then $60, with two packs of cigarettes per passenger being the proverbial cherry on top.

Nazir is also accused of conspiring with his drivers and beneficiaries to bill Medicaid for phantom trips, or those in which the beneficiary drove themselves.

Nauman and Khurram Gondal each indicated they had the financial resources to obtain counsel.

Bail for each was set at $2 million

by Essex County Judge Richard Meyer earlier in the week.

Qaiser Gondal said he doesn’t know if his financial assets have been seized as part of the investigation.

“I don’t know what I have,” he said.

“At the moment, I don’t know if my accounts have been seized.”

He said his family is arranging counsel.

Chadder, who was remanded on $2 million cash bond in Essex County Court on Tuesday, hasn’t spoken with his family since he was taken into custody, and was unaware if someone was lining up legal help.

“I don’t speak with anybody yet,” he said, “so I don’t know.”

Armstrong, of Port Henry, was determined eligible for assigned counsel after telling Favro he earned between $300 and $400 each week driving a cab for Ti Taxi.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Barnett declined to comment on if any assets had been seized, citing the ongoing investigation. ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

In front were the names of current and former officers who have served in Troop B since 1920, while in a ring above those names were memorialized those who were killed on-duty within Troop B. “Fourteen of our ranks made the ultimate sacrifice,” Tibbitts said. “Our collective wish is that no other stone will have to be placed there.” ■

WESTPORT | Environmental Field Day last week brought hundreds of school kids to the Essex County Fairgrounds.

The one-day schedule this year adjusted to the smaller groups from area schools, which included field trips from Willsboro, Elizabethtown-Lewis, Moriah, Lake Placid, Keene, Minerva and Crown Point central schools.

In the center ring, from Visser Farms in Panton, Vt., Lydia Visser demonstrated several techniques used in natural horsemanship training.

Visser’s mini-workshop was one of about a dozen that ran throughout the day, drawing students up close and in contact with different creatures and vocations, like nema-

» Enviro day Cont. from pg. 3 And Dakota did.

Students from Willsboro were captivated.

“Th is is my favorite one,” Lynae MacDougal said of the exhibition.

Subtle movements communicate with a horse’s natural instinct, Lydia said.

“If I make raise a hand, she will change direction,” the horse trainer demonstrated.

“She responds to body language, but you would not use hand commands on a horse that does not respect you,” Lydia explained of the relationship between a horse and its trainer.

“I can test her respect for me by seeing, when I walk away that she follows. If she follows, I know I have her respect.”

Lydia pointed out some of the horse’s subtle body language indicating ease and comfort, like leaning slightly against one hoof, relaxing part of the hind quarters. Ears and eyes also indicate much about how a horse feels in any given situation, Lydia said, and whether they are calm or nervous.

At the end of each demonstration, Dakota walked slowly and gently around the ring so middle school kids could pat her.

Under bright blue skies, the kids moved from one area of the fairgrounds to another between various Essex County 4-H buildings. Segments last about 15 minutes.

In one of the calf stall barns, Cornell Co-

operative Agriculture Resource Educator Dr. Carly Summers shared information about beneficial nematodes that feed off garden pests and improve soil conditions in a garden.

Around the other side of the barn, Lydia’s younger brothers, Ezekial Visser, 10, and Isaac Visser, 12, demonstrated fly fishing techniques.

Both youngsters shared hints and tips for casting flies and passed around a badge with several hand-made ties attached.

“You have to match the hatch,” Isaac said, encouraging kids to watch what types of flies are emerging from waterways in their lifecycle from larvae into flight.

The hatch changes with the weather and over the course of seasons.

“It actually is relaxing,” Isaac said of the long, slow wave of a fishing line.

“And there are many new techniques to learn, it’s something people can experiment with.”

Students from Moriah’s Grade 6 class wondered where the boys liked to fish.

“You can fly fish in a lake or a river or a pond,” Isaac said.

“For me, I like fishing in the rivers.”

Essex County Environmental Field Days are presented each year in collaboration with Essex County Soil and Water District, Cornell Cooperative Extension and Essex County 4-H. The focus is on environmental science learning and skills connected with outdoor recreation, farm, forest, soils and garden knowledge. ■

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The 11,598 square foot Kinney Drugs retail building at 7550 Court St. here sold for $2.8 million.

The new property owner, Charterhouse Development Corp., said the longtime local drugstore will remain as is on site.

The retail location was built in 2007 as a new and expanded home for Kinney Drugs.

In announcing the purchase last week, Charterhouse said they are a commercial real estate development and investment company based in Boston, Mass., “prominent and at the forefront with its use of commercial real estate data analytics” and technology.

The property was acquired “by an entity operated by Charterhouse Development from STORE Master Funding X, LLC,” according to the news release.

WESTPORT | The Westport Country Club will again host a fundraising tournament in honor of Westport native Dr. Thomas Tanneberger.

The 39th Annual Tanneberger Memorial Golf Tournament will be June 8-10, with an optional scramble and practice round on Thursday June 7.

is an excellent addition to the drugstore side of our portfolio,” Meredith Roy, President of Charterhouse Development said.

“We will look forward to being a part of this community.”

Charterhouse Development Corp. was founded 1983 and expanded their industrial, office and retail development largely with pharmacy and grocery store locations.

“For the last 10 years we have focused on acquiring and redeveloping neighborhood shopping centers in the Northeast and developing free-standing retail,” the news release said.

“This acquisition by Charterhouse Development is an excellent property for us as we continue to grow our presence in New York and the Northeast as a whole,” according to Brandt Sharrock, vice president at Charterhouse Development.

Essex County Real Property records show Store Master Funding has owned the retail building since 2016.

The owner from 2008 to 2015 was listed as Elizabeth Morgan LLC. Tax roll assessment for the 1.12 acre property with a single-use building is $1.25 million.

The building was added to a large parking area in March 2007, when Kinney Drug moved from its former location at the old pharmacy building on Court St. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Watching the pennies

It seems outrageous to think about the fraudulent funds that flowed into the local cab companies imBy Dan Alexander plicated in the Medicaid scheme that • PUBLISHER • is alleged to have accrued at least $9.7 million for medical taxi transport.

Like so many things wrong with government-run programs, the state Department of Health has no real barometer for waste.

Well intended government agencies and lawmakers create programs to address needs. But what is sadly always lacking is the ability to dole the money out in a judicious manner.

With so much fraud taking place these days, you would think the government would have eagle-eyed auditors pinching every penny and ensuring that every dollar is spent wisely and within the confines of the rules to protect the taxpayer and the integrity of the system.

After all, it’s their name on the program, and as stewards of our money, we should expect would they take pride in getting it right.

All too often, as was the case here, the state had to be hit over the head to take a closer look at what the average citizen could see was an egregious waste of money.

The extravagance of government operations is in need of a severe overhaul.

Elected officials, department heads and bureaucrats need to think of those funds as if it was their wallet they were reaching into with every dollar they approve and oversee.

It’s as though tax money is just easy money. The more they spend, the more of it they expect to get.

What is lost in all this is how hard people work and save to their pay taxes.

Despite the promises to reform spending it never seems to happen.

Programs, agencies, and costs always have staunch champions to lobby on their behalf, and government vendors continue to find agencies that will buy the $700 hammer and the $20 nail while convincing the budget minded auditors that it’s a great deal.

Someday the party is going to end.

Taxpayers are going to revolt and demand better accountability as to how their money is spent and ensure we are getting a fair value for the bucks we turn over to those who seek to serve our best interests.

I may not see a penny-pinching government it in my lifetime but it will have to take place sooner or later. ■

The Sun Editorial

State must be held accountable for Medicaid abuses Th irteen people have been arrested in connection with a far-reaching probe into Medicaid fraud in the Adirondacks.

The 10 cab companies implicated in the scheme are alleged to have accrued at least $9.7 million in ill-gotten gains for medical taxi transport.

The Chinese have a saying, “The mountains are high, and the emperor is far away.”

We keep circling back to that proverb as we digest the details of the two-year investigation by state and federal authorities to take down the crooked industry.

The idiom typically refers to government officials in far-flung provincial backwaters taking advantage of the distance from Beijing in order to carry out their corrupt machinations, which subsequently leads to social unrest and decay.

But in this case, swap out local officials with the crop of start-up medical transport companies that have sprouted like mushrooms in the darkness of Essex County to gorge from an overflowing feeding trough of taxpayer dollars.

The state Department of Health (DOH) was warned for years by local officials about their suspicions.

Through it all, they glibly argued to both reporters and Essex County officials the state’s new system for transporting Medicaid patients in private cabs coordinated by a Syracuse-based dispatch center was an improvement over the former countyrun model, citing a projected statewide $30 million cost savings once the program was

“fully implemented.”

Intentions are one thing, results are another.

And the results have been a skyrocketing number of “beneficiaries” cruising up and down the Adirondack Northway in their cabs of choice, with their loyalty being determined

by Marlboros and trace amounts of cash.

While the good, hardworking people of the North Country have been working multiple jobs to make ends meet, the investigation has revealed an entire cottage industry sprang up around this system involving not only cab owners and drivers, but also beneficiaries, drug addicts and other unnamed informants, bit players and lowlevel criminals.

The DOH has never been able to address with any certainty how their system verifies trips and catches fraud.

Our reporter asked the agency last year to detail the verification process between the client, driver and medical facility.

Shouldn’t it be as simple for a medical provider to verify a legitimate trip the same way a business validates parking?

The DOH contended all trips are supposed to be verified by MAS, the Syracusebased dispatch center, who was then supposed to survey enrollees and providers to identify fraud and abuse.

A examination of the state-drafted manual and policy guidelines and 2016 audit of the program by the state Comptroller’s Office didn’t provide answers to those questions, either.

But what if those required to report fraud were

Despite a few symbolic “moderate” votes in Congress, Stefanik has been a loyal supporter of President Trump and GOP congressional leadership.

running the criminal schemes to begin with?

That’s been our point all along as we’ve watched a cottage industry of criminals and schemers take advantage of this glaring loophole to bilk the system out of millions.

The same applies to public safety concerns.

It’s human nature to look for a villain.

But in this case, it’s more complex than wagging a finger at the suspects, who simply found a loophole and exploited it as the DOH patted themselves on the back for reforming the program.

If found guilty of their alleged crimes, then the suspects should pay back the funds.

But we also blame the state for allowing the system to flourish due to their lack of oversight.

And this wasn’t in secret, but rather under the nose of local lawmakers who have been hollering about it for years.

As the fallout continues to settle like a radioactive cloud, we should also use this is an opportunity to explore New York’s tax burden, which is among the highest in the country, largely due to Medicaid, which covers about 1 out 3 state residents.

Th is is a slap in the face of all New York taxpayers.

Authorities have said the investigation into the criminal scheme is ongoing.

Once the probe concludes, we also look forward to following what we hope will be an investigation into the state agency that allowed this to happen.

Westport budget defeated Willsboro, ELCS, AVCS pass

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | The only Essex County school budget to ask its residents for a super-majority yes was spurned by its voters on Tuesday.

Westport Central School District residents voted 171-131 against the budget proposal.

The budget asked for a 9.98 percent increase in the school tax levy, well above the state’s tax levy cap, requiring an approval of 60 percent or more of the district’s voters.

“We as a board will have to meet and decide what we are going to do with a second vote,” said school board president Alice LaRock. “We have to ask ourselves if we will put up the same budget or will we have to make some compromises.”

Board member Jim Carroll, who won his seat back in a 153-146 vote against Medera Sherman, said the board feels they have cut all they can with the budget which was defeated.

“Will we have to make cuts, because if we do, I feel we are putting something up that compromises the educational programs at the school.”

Superintendent A. Paul Scott said the board will hold a special meeting within the next week to move forward on a new budget proposal.

A proposal for the purchase of a truck and mower was approved in Westport, 231-76.

ELIZABETHTOWN-LEWIS

In the district looking to potentially merge with Westport, residents in the Elizabethtown-Lewis district passed the budget with a 163-24 vote. Incumbent school board members Alan Jones and Danielle Bikowitz both received 164 votes to retain their board seats.

WILLSBORO

Residents in Willsboro voted 193-124 in favor of the adopted 2018-19 school spending plan. In the race for school board, incumbent president Phyllis Klein received 182 votes, while Heather Sheehan received 174 votes to earn seats on the board. Sunnie Lobdell received 138 votes, finishing third and out of a board seat.

AUSABLE VALLEY

The voters in the AuSable Valley School District voted 324-102 to approve the 2018-19 spending plan, while incumbent board members Sherry Snow (333 votes), Robyn Pray (320) and Mark Allen (294) were re-elected.

KEENE CENTRAL

The budget was approved 120 yes, 11 no, 1 blank.

Aaron Miller narrowly won the open school Board seat with 67 votes, succeeding Angela Durant, who received 64 votes.

LAKE PLACID

The budget was approved, 272 yes votes to 52 no.

Bus purchase proposition approved, 290 yes, 34 no.

For school board, Colleen Locke received 257 votes, Martha Spear 251, Bryan Kennelly, 211. The top two winners will serve three-year terms, Kennelly will complete an unfinished term of one year.

SARANAC LAKE

The budget was approved: 314 in favor, 39 against.

Funding for Saranac Lake Free Library was approved with 296 in favor, 51 opposed.

Proposition 2 for bus purchases was approved with 313 votes in favor, 36 opposed.

Three seats for school board were filled with three candidates: Rick Retrosi, 310; Nancy Bernstein, 304; Aurora White, 283; and one vote each for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. ■

Guest Column

State broadband office moving goalposts

By Sen. Rob Ortt (R-North Tonawanda) GUEST COLUMNIST

It’s 2018, and New Yorkers are still having to drive to their nearest fast food restaurant in order to use the establishment’s wifi.

So while the governor’s office continues to boast about the universal success in delivering broadband statewide, I’ll continue to be critical of these premature pats on the back among unaccountable bureaucrats and politicians.

I take no issue with Empire State Development’s (ESD) Broadband Program Office (BPO) responding to my criticism.

In fact, I’m happy that they’re finally responding to someone – anyone – about taxpayers’ $670 million outlay for broadband.

I do take objection to ESD’s claim that this is political grandstanding.

Quite simply, this is an issue that has been raised time and time again by my constituents and local government officials and it’s my duty to act as their voice.

That’s why I’m working to find answers as to why families in Orleans and Niagara counties don’t have reliable internet; why children living in the year 2018 can’t use the internet to do schoolwork, and why small businesses can’t conduct office operations.

If trying to provide some sort of answer to my constituents in the rural areas of my district is “grandstanding,” then I’m happy to grandstand until they get the answers they deserve.

When pressed, ESD resorts to the same deflections and talking points – unfortunately, this is a trend we’ve seen whenever legitimate questions arise (from residents, legislators or the media) regarding the state’s economic development shortcomings.

Repeating over and over that it’s mission accomplished does not do justice to reality or concerns on the ground.

When BPO claims that Charter-Spectrum isn’t fulfilling its end of the proposed build-out plan, they ignore the fact that the state used Charter’s acquisition of Time Warner Cable as leverage and outsourced a significant portion of the state’s broadband mission.

I believe that before launching massive programs and initiatives, it’s important to make sure such ventures can actually be accomplished.

But once benchmarks aren’t being met, it’s critically important to establish accountability.

Whether it’s passing the buck to the state’s Public Service Commission, blaming private companies or invoking a “trade secrets” defense, New Yorkers aren’t getting the answers they deserve.

That’s why I recently introduced legislation requiring yearly financial reports from the BPO and called for the Senate Committee on Investigations to look into this program.

When this program kicked off, the goal was to deliver high-speed internet to all New Yorkers – a noble mission.

Many urban and heavily-populated areas – such as the Albany and New York City offices where state broadband officials operate – were already receiving high-quality service or would soon be receiving it.

There was – and is – a heavy economic incentive for private companies providing services to these areas.

The regions that this program truly needed to serve were our rural communities where a public-private partnership made sense.

The rollout to these communities has been maddeningly slow, full of confusion, and unresponsive to individual needs. And ESD recently declared success when they announced that these areas will receive dish/satellite coverage.

Frankly, I do not consider this a success. These rural areas, defined as “unserved,” have lower minimum requirements (25 mbps) for broadband than the rest of the state (100 mbps).

Satellite services are notoriously slow and with data caps, households quickly reach data limits even with basic internet activity. Some of the companies providing these services have horrific reputations among customers.

Ultimately, while taxpayers doled out $670 million for high-speed broadband, according to the BPO’s website, Niagara and Orleans Counties will receive a mere $387,000 combined – peanuts.

Until we truly achieve “broadband and high-speed internet for all,” as the governor promised, I would encourage state officials like (BPO Vice President of Innovation Jeff) Nordhaus to be less boastful and more transparent. And once again, I’d encourage state broadband officials to come meet with my constituents who lack broadband… although we may have to meet at Tim Horton’s if the meeting requires internet access. ■ — Sen. Rob Ortt represents Niagara and Orleans counties in the New York State Senate.

Lewis Farmers’ Market to open June 2 Community excited about first-ever event

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

LEWIS | A Saturday morning Farmers’ Market opens here for its first year on June 2.

A large section in the corner lot beside Denton’s Bear Necessities market is being readied for the weekly gathering planned through fall.

Master Gardner Kathy Linker said the Community Club in Lewis first discussed the idea last year.

“We talked about it, everyone thought we should add a farmers’ market in Lewis and we started looking around.”

They didn’t have to search for long.

Sandy French, owner of Denton’s store, had the right place for market tents, food vendors, tables, even a few barbecue grills for special market events.

“You figure, we’re at the center of town where Route 9 meets Stowersville and Wells Hill roads. We decided on Saturdays, that’s the busiest day here,” she said.

The Saturday farmers’ market gatherings will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Vendors signed on include Reber Rock Farm, Ben Weaver Farm, Little Hills Farm and many area artisans and craftspeople.

Linker listed veggies, meats, cheeses, honey, syrup, jams, jelly, home baked bread and other treats among items area farmers will bring to market.

The Community Club is producing this market aside from the Adirondack Farmers’ Market Co-op for the first year, to gauge interest, Linker said.

“We’re going to run solo this year and see how it works,” Linker said.

“There will be a little extra going on here during the market,” French added.

“We have music planned, a barbecue one day, and a visit from a local race car driver.

RIGHT: Kathy Linker, left, and Sandy French, owner of Denton’s Bear Necessities, are both members of the Community Club in Lewis, which meets at the store each month. The two helped launch the Lewis Farmers’ Market, opening for the summer on June 2 and every Saturday through fall, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

LEFT: Angela Heroux, director at Elizabethtown Library, right, worked with Kathy Linker, center, and Frank Rock (and his wife Janice, who is not in the photo), at left, to establish a Little Library at Denton’s Bear Necessities. Store owner Sandy French said the project is a welcome addition to her front porch. Books will be out and available for people to read and return on an honor system. About 100 titles will be on the shelves.

with the help of Frank and Janice Rock.

Angela Heroux, director of the Elizabethtown Library, is ready to stock the shelves.

“This is something they have really wanted to do,” she said of assisting the Community Club members.

“And we’re providing the books. It’s going to be a community bookshelf with non-circulating books that do not have to be loaned out,” Heroux said.

The collection of fiction and non-fiction books will come from donations and extra copies held at the Elizabethtown Library.

Approximately 100 titles will fit on the porch shelving.

“And it will go inside during winter,” Linker said.

This marks the third “little library” Heroux has helped build locally.

The other two are at the Essex Center, the elder care home in Elizabethtown, and at Boquet Apartments.

The Lewis Little Library should be up and open by June 1. ■

Opening day, June 2, is our town-wide yard sale,” she said with a smile.

Alongside their market plans, the Community Club also organized a day-long yard sale throughout town for June 2.

Linker said a large multi-family lawn sale will be set up at the Fish & Game Club.

But maps to various locations along side roads and Lewis/Stowersville byways will also be printed and available at local stores and at the Lewis Town Hall.

“We’ve got people involved all over town,” Linker said of the yard sale event.

“We kind of wanted to establish our own identity this year and hold the event in early June before people are all yardsaled out.”

The third project launched by the Community Club, again with the help of Sandy French, is a Little Library.

The new bookshelf was placed on the porch at Denton’s Bear Necessitites market last week

Lake Placid Farmers’ Market moves to village park

JEWTRAW PARK STATION STREET (near Lisa G's)

Spring greens for the early Farmers’ Markets.

Saranac Lake opens June 2, and Lake Placid’s market is relocating to Jewtraw Park this year for more room and improved parking.

Station St. greenspace a good move for local farmers, market shoppers

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

LAKE PLACID | Area farmers’ markets will emerge in over a dozen area parks through the coming weeks.

New here this year, the AuSable Valley Grange has approval to move its Lake Placid Market into a village park.

In April, Village of Lake Placid trustees okayed use of Jewtraw Park, a public green space on Station Street across from the historic Lake Placid History Museum and train depot.

The train depot, owned by the Lake Placid-North Elba Historical Society, agreed to provide for overflow parking, making it accessible to many market shoppers.

The Historical Society is also planning children’s activities for market days and will open restroom facilities at the depot.

Village trustees agreed that the market site would bring more people to the Newman end of town, as the area was called years ago.

The Lake Placid Farmers’ Market was first located in the Lake Placid Center for the Arts driveway and then, since 2015, at St. Agnes School parking lot.

“This switch is historic. This first year in the park will be important to show that, as in Saranac Lake, we are great stewards of the park and that the farmers’ market is more than just a market - it’s a community institution,” AuSable Valley Grange organizers said in announcing their move.

The park is just down Station Street from Liquids and Solids and Lisa G’s on in Lake Placid, the grange announced.

The market at its new site will be open

The path to better health starts here.

from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays, a time shift to include evening hours.

“The time switch was based on support from the majority of farmers’ market vendors, the Lake Placid Village Board recommendation, and the community’s input,” grange market coordinators said.

Lake Placid’s Farmers’ Market opens on June 27.

On the same day, the History Museum at Lake Placid’s train depot also opens its summer exhibit -- Centennial Suffrage: Women’s Place in Societyto celebrate the Suffrage Centennial, exploring lives of local women whose work made a lasting impact in Lake Placid.

Managed as a producers’ only market by AuSable Valley Grange, Lake Placid’s Farmers’ Market is run in conjunction with its sister event in Saranac Lake at Riverside Park.

The marketplace there opens June 2 and runs every Saturday until Oct. 13.

IF YOU GO:

Saranac Lake Farmers’ Market Riverside Park on Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

June 2 through October 13 Lake Placid Farmers’ Market Jewtraw Park, Wednesdays, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

June 27 through October 17 ■ Saranac Lake and Lake Placid Farmers’ Markets will also be accepting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

“SNAP offers nutrition assistance to millions of eligible individuals and families and provides economic benefits to communities.

SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net,” market organizers said. ■

Stahl, Placid earn sectional golf titles

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

ROUSES POINT | For the second time in three years, Moriah’s Joey Stahl is atop the Section VII golf world.

The Moriah senior opened with a first day 2-under par 70 as he scored his second individual title at the Section VII golf championships at the North Country Club May 24-25.

“It feels great to finish out my high school career with a win and I am very confident in my swing this year and look forward to Cornell,” Stahl said.

Stahl was followed by a field that included runner-up Drew Maiorca of Lake Placid, third place finisher Paul Fine-Lease of Willsboro

and fourth place finisher Anthony Barcomb of Northeastern Clinton.

In all, nine golfers were named to the Section VII team that will compete in Cornell this week at the state tournament. Nik Hamel of Saranac, who started the day toward the back of the field, shot a second round low score of 84 to move all the way up to fifth place. He was followed by Evan Dyke (Beekmantown), Ben Lloyd (NCCS) and Keegan Smith (Peru).

Lake Placid’s Lars Kroes bested Plattsburgh High’s Kyle Side in a one-hole playoff for the ninth and final position on the state team.

In the team race, Lake Placid repeated their sectional championship with strong rounds from Maiorca, Kroes and Hunter Wilmot, who also made the second day of the tournament. ■

PLATTSBURGH | For the first time in nine years, the AuSable Valley girls softball team is champions.

The Lady Pats scored a 16-7 win over the Ticonderoga Lady Sentinels May 23, winning the title for the first time since 2009.

“It’s just fantastic,” said Patriots coach Neil Bowlen. “I have six seniors and I love these girls and one of them is my daughter. This was huge. We play a lot of softball and I’ve been with these girls since grasshoppers. This is awesome.”

Bowlen’s daughter, Elliana, earned the win in the circle for the Patriots.

“It feels amazing,” she said. “It’s my senior year, so this is really special. I’m just happy that we could get the win and for these girls.”

Bowlen said it was a very big season for Patriots softball, as they were able to beat the perennial power

PLATTSBURGH | When it came to a clutch hit in the fifth inning of the Section VII/Class D championship baseball game between Lake Placid and Crown Point, it was the Blue Bombers’ Collin Hayes who stepped to the plate.

Hughes drove in a pair of runs in the fifth to tie and goahead of the Panthers for good, scoring a 2-1 win over the Panthers and advancing to the Class D regional finals next Saturday to be played at Chip Cummings Field at PSUC. “We knew would be a tough matchup,” said Hayes. “Their pitcher (Hunter Pertak) had one of the best curveballs we have seen all year and we had to be patient. I was looking for a pitch to handle and I got one right over the plate. I’m glad Jesse (Izzo) was moving from second on the pitch because he was able to score the winning in.”

As for Izzo, the Lake Placid right-hander pitched the first five innings of the game, allowing only one run and coming away with the win.

“I wanted to work the corners and never give them a chance to see the same pitch twice,” Izzo said. “We were

able to get the first two batters on in the fifth and I was very happy to see Colin get the hit.”

After Izzo scored, he turned the ball over to Jake Courson, who pitched two scoreless innings for the win.

“I knew I was coming in at the start of the sixth inning, but when we got the lead, it was a he relief because then all I needed to do was get outs,,” Courson said.

“We have had some great pitching over the past month,” said head coach Brian Brandes. “Jesse and Jake have been really good and we hadn’t fold Jake he was going an extra inning, but he stepped up to the challenge and got us through the end.”

The Panthers were able to get the leadoff hitter on in the bottom of the seventh, but Lake Placid was able to pick him off the bases on a catcher pick-off.

“It was a great game, we had our chances but could not get the bat on the ball at the right time,” said Panthers coach Randy Pertak.

After five strong innings from Hunter Pertak, Noah Spaulding struck out the side in the bottom of the sixth.

The Blue Bombers will now host the Section X champion Saturday, June 2, at a time yet to be determined (noon or 1 p.m.) at Chip Cummings Field. ■

Sentinels once in the regular season and again in the finals.

“It’s a great program,” coach Bowlen said. “It’s a program from front to bottom.

To beat a team like Ti really means something. The team is well coached and their girls have a lot of heart in them. Hats off to them.”

Sentinel coach Eric Mullen said his team needed more defense, both throughout the season and in the title game.

“We made a couple of mistakes here and there,” Mullen said. “If we caught some of those line drives, we probably wouldn’t have given up six runs. There was a double play ball error that cost us a run. Take those off the board and it’s a tied game. I’m very proud of these girls, they battled throughout the season. They have battled throughout this week with adversity.” ■
