LAKE PLACID Ñ A month removed from the announcement that Ironman pros would no longer compete in the Lake Placid race, the village made the cut as one of three finalists for the 2017 Ironman 70.3 World Championship triathlon.

In early May, Lake Placid was selected as one of 40 potential North American hosts to submit a bid for the race, and since then, the list has been narrowed down to it, Chattanooga, Tennessee and St. George, Utah. ÒF irst of all, weÕ re excited about it,Ó said North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi. “What’s good for Lake Placid is good for the entire region. Two Ironmans in 2017, pretty neat if that were to happen.”

Ironman organizers expect the race to draw about 4,500 qualifiers and that it would consist of two days of competition, one for women and the other for men. The 70.3 mile race — half the distance of the 140.6 event that’s been held in Lake Placid since 1999

TUPPER LAKE — Preserve Associates, LLC, developer of the long-awaited 6,300 acre Adirondack Club in Tupper Lake, New York, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Greg Norman and Great White Shark Enterprises that will tee off development of a five star luxury residential community and outdoor recreational resort on privately owned land in the six million acre Adirondack Park.

Michael Foxman and Tom Lawson, principals of Preserve Associates, said the participation of golf legend Greg Norman and his company will extend well beyond golf course design and involve all facets of the resort.

This partnership, in conjunction with the state governmentÕ s eagerness to invest alongside long-term, well sponsored revitalization projects in upstate New York will further help the regional economic recovery. Ò This is one of the last great places with a magnificent history, culture, art, world-class outdoor activities and centuries of charm,” says Greg Norman. “You don’t have to create a new story around this project. This project is about continuing the legacy of the Adirondacks.”

Mr. Norman, an avid outdoorsman will build a home for himself in the private residential community and his course design firm (Greg Norman Golf Course Design) has been tapped by the Town of CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Montreal woman drowns in High Peaks river

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com NORTH ELBA Ñ A Montreal woman is dead after drowning in Feldspar Brook on Saturday, May 30.

According to the state police, 34-year-old Julie Belanger and Sandra Brodeur, 44, had been hiking Skylight Mountain and Grey Mountain on Saturday.

Belanger fell off a log and into the water during inclement weather while crossing Feldspar Brook.

The pair was in an area with no cell service, said state police spokesperson Jennifer Fleishman.

Due to a thunderstorm, Brodeur was forced to seek shelter because it was too dangerous to descend the trail to seek help.

Brodeur was able to meet up with other hikers at the Feldspar lean-to, who offered shelter and assisted the following morning in searching for Belanger.

The incident was reported to DEC Forest Rangers at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Belanger was found deceased in the early afternoon by a DEC interior caretaker.

State Police Aviation and New York State Forest Rangers hoisted BelangerÕ s body from the Lake Arnold area at approximately 7:10 p.m.

Belanger was flown to the Lake Placid Airport where she was officially pronounced deceased by Essex County Coroner Francis Whitelaw. Her body was then removed to the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake where an autopsy was performed Sunday morning by Dr. C Francis Varga.

The investigation revealed that Belanger had been swept away by the current in the flooded waters.

Varga determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation due to fresh water drowning.

Coroner Whitelaw ruled the manner of death to be accidental.

Fleishman said no foul play was involved.

Gutersloh art to be exhibited

SARANAC LAKE — Heidi Gutersloh’s “Simply Adirondack” will be on exhibit at the North Wind Fine Arts Gallery Friday, June 5 through June 29. There will be an opening reception Friday, June 5, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Great Adirondack Birding Celebration comes to VIC

PAUL SMITHS — The 13th annual Great Adirondack Birding Celebration will be held Friday, June 5 through June 7, at the Paul Smith’s College Visitor Interpretive Center (VIC). Participants may sign up for the full three-day event or attend selected events, taking advantage of our a la carte pricing. The three-day event will offer a wide variety of activities designed to appeal to both experienced and beginning birders. This is the longest running boreal birding festival in the Northeast.

The cost is $140. For more information call 327-6241.

Guided field trip on tap

PAUL SMITHS — There will be a four-hour, guided field trip Saturday, June 6 and June 7, starting from Paul Smith’s College VIC, 8023 St. Rte. 30 to Whiteface Mountain, beginning at 7 a.m.

This trip provides the best opportunity to see the rare Bicknells Thrush, as well as other boreal species. The Bicknells Thrush is among the most rare and probably most threatened species in North America. For more information call 327-6241, visit gabc.info or email bmcallister@paulsmiths.edu.

Pendragon performance “Out of the City” to raise funds for ALS

SARANAC LAKE — Leslie Ayvazian, an award-winning playwright and actress, is coming back to Saranac Lake to present her play, “Out of the City,” at Pendragon Theatre as a benefit for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) on Saturday, June 6 at 8 p.m.

In Oct. 2006, Ayvazian presented her one-woman show ‘High Dive’ as a benefit for ALS, and it was well received.

“Out of the City” premiered in Dorset, VT last summer and played in Lowell, MA this past March and April, earning excellent reviews.

The play, which was penned when Ayvazian turned 60, is a comedy on how things go awry for two middle-aged couples who go away for a weekend at a bed and breakfast in the mountains to celebrate the 60th birthday of Carol, the oldest in the group.

It delves into the question of what happens when two couples leave the security of their urban environment and immerse themselves in nature. This unorthodox love story proves rejuvenation can be found at any age.

Ayvazian will be joined by June Ballinger, an actor, coach and producer who is currently the artistic director of the Passage Theatre in Newark, NJ, and Ken Land, who has appeared on and off Broadway as well as in film and television including “The Good Wife,” “Boston Legal” and “Law & Order.”

All proceeds will be donated for ALS research. The funds will be divided between the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins and the ALS Association of Upstate New York in memory of Colin Kelley and others in our community whose lives have been cut short by this devastating disease, including Don Duffy, Michael Leahy and Don Collins.

For advance tickets or information, call Lorraine Kelley at 524-0409. Tickets are also available at Pendragon Theatre, 891-1854.

Lake Placid not suited for Olympic return

N

ews that Lake Placid may host the Ironman World Championships in 2017 is a significant feather in the cap of local tourism officials and could put the small Olympic village back on the national scene the likes of which has not been seen since the Miracle on Ice 35 years ago.

The event could potentially draw 5,000 competitors and 20,000 friends and family for nearly a week at a time when locals could use the economic shot in the arm Ñ the weekend following Labor Day, or the start of the regionÕ s off-season.

Early projections estimate an economic infusion of more than $15 million from the event, which promises to trickle to outlying communities like the bubbling water of the Boquet and Ausable rivers.

To say this is tremendous news would be the understatement of the century and we laud those involved in attempting to make it happen.

The Ironman World Championship is exactly the type of event Lake Placid should be working to lure to its tight-quartered downtown — not the Winter Olympics.

Certainly Lake Placid’s storied Olympic history should never be ignored or forgotten. Lake Placid is the little town that could, managing to lock down two installments of the Winter Games — in 1932 and 1980.

It put the village on the international map.

But recent discussion from local bureaucrats about a potential bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics is a waste of time, energy and resources.

Quite simply, the Olympics have outgrown the Olympic village.

Submitting a serious bid to the International Olympic Committee would take a massive financial investment Ñ for lodging creation, infrastructure upgrades, the creation of new parking lots, roads, stadiums and venues Ñ to handle the immense number of athletes, tourists and the inevitable media frenzy that would converge on the region.

But most of all, it would take cash. Tons of it, and a local citizenry open to the idea of helping pay for it. That might be a tough sell when the effect to the average working class person would be negligible at best.

At the same time, imagine the nightmare of running it all through the red-tape-nightmare of the Adirondack Park Agency and then being left with the over development that has occurred with other recent Olympic hosts?

Consider the $169 million final cost of the 1980 Olympics during which just 51,000 people were allowed into the village on any given day.

Then compare that to the $50 billion spent by the Russians on the Sochi games with hundreds of thousands of visitors from 134 countries in attendance.

Compared to Lake Placid’s 51,000-per-day limit, the Olympic Park in Sochi alone holds 75,000. Then there were 37,000 security officers and 13,477 members of the media on hand in 2014, and it took 25,000 volunteers to pull it off — more than 60 percent of the entire population of Essex County and four times as many volunteers as the 1980 Olympics.

Just imagine cramming that number of people in downtown Lake Placid. We can’t see that happening anytime soon.

The logistics of splitting the games between upstate communities or hosting a coordinated event with Canada is also unrealistic.

The thought of transporting that many people between venues during a two-week period is incomprehensible. And trans-border travel?

Think of the time it would take and security it would involve. And lets hope none of the athletes or members of their family have a misdemeanor in their past Ñ because they arenÕ t getting in.

Then there is the thought of getting two separate Olympic Committees to work together Ñ a feat akin to a unanimous vote of the US Congress on universal health care coverage.

There are plenty of events that fit Lake Placid like a fine tailored suit. Events like the Lake Placid Horse Show, Empire State Games, World Cup and ECAC and Can-Am hockey tournaments to name a few. They all draw folks to the greater Lake Placid region, many of whom return once theyÕ ve had a taste of the mountain air.

The quaint Adirondack village also continues to play a significant role in the Olympic community. Its facilities are still used as training centers for Olympic contenders, with athletes traveling from around the nation to the Adirondacks to train.

These are all positives for Lake Placid and the region as a whole. They represent Lake Placid living within its means, and are the type of activities that will define the future of the community.

The role Lake Placid played in Olympic history should be held dear and never forgotten.

Suggesting the village will ever again host the Winter Games, on the other hand, is backward thinking and counterproductive. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Local resident has blind spot when it comes to police brutality To the Editor: A recent Siena college survey reported in the Times-Union uncovered a large “blind spot” in the way male CEO’s view issues concerning female employees — equal pay and workplace respect, among others. Dr. Jim Reed, president of St. Peters Health Partners in Albany, said, “We male CEO’s . . . never had to face personally gender discrimination, and as a result, we were never sensitizedÓ to a womanÕ s view of workplace issues.

Similarly, certain politicians who once railed against Ò government wasteÓ suddenly sponsor bills supporting federal subsidies for cancer research after a family member is diagnosed.

Ken Fenimore’s view concerning the Justice Department’s “targeting” of police is born of the same narrowness of experience.

Of course, police need to enforce the law. But the death penalty for selling cigarettes? Is it possible that some of the officers in recent cases are just not suited for the job? Poorly trained? Closet bigots?

While the Department seeks to end a pattern of objectively unjustifiable actions by individual police officers, as the President has said, looting and burning are not social protest.

But equally intolerable are two deaths from 135 police bullets because officers mistook a backfire for a gunshot. Or the death of a Cleveland 12-year-old holding what the dispatcher said “might be a toy.”

Perhaps Mr. Fenimore’s misunderstanding of this issue comes from his own Ò blind spot,Ó possibly a result of a lack of contact with Ñ not female employees or cancer victims — but ordinary African-Americans whose lives, including their experiences with police, are considerably different than Mr. Fenimore’s; he is probably not as affected by the aforementioned deaths as the victims’ neighbors.

The phrase, “Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes” certainly applies.

People of the cloth often exhort us to try to see the world through the eyes of others, to try to feel what others feel. Before categorizing people as Ò thugs, punks, and criminals,Ó perhaps we should listen to our pastors.

Jeff Kleiman, Elizabethtown

Honoring ‘Decoration Day’ To the Editor: Memorial Day was initiated in 1868 as “Decoration Day” to honor the fallen in the Civil War. The residents and neighbors of Crown Point have continued this observance for 147 years. We are proud of this tradition and wish to thank the following people and organizations: Fred V. Provoncha; Timothy J. Pierce, State Veterans Counselor; Pastor Robert Fortier; Patrick Kiely; Matthew Russell; Joan Hunsdon – Crown Point Town Historian; David Hobbs; Pastor Douglas Woods; members of the Bridge Flotilla (15-13) United States Coast Guard Auxiliary; Cindy Bodette and Alberton “Lucky” Eubar - members of A.E. Phelps Fire & Rescue for traffic control at Putnam Creek Bridge; David Carr USCG AUX and past National President of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; Jeris French, the members of the Crown Point Central School Chorus and their bus driver, Henry DuShane; Ronnie Burroughs and assistant for the sound system; Charles Harrington, Supervisor of the Town of Crown Point; Pastor Gregg Trask USCG AUX; Rev. David Hirtle, USAF ret & USCG AUX; Trooper Brad Peters for escort and traffic control during the tour; Chairperson Jodi Gibbs and the members of the Memorial Day Committee; Charles Mazurowski, Town Board member and US Army ret; members and leaders of Troop #70 Boy Scouts of America,

A treasure chest

for the US flag presentation; and Erick DuShane and Noah Peters for their rendition of Taps.

This year we thought it appropriate to salute a Veteran at each stop with a profile of their service and life. In saluting one we hoped to honor all who served. Thank you to Carol Stanley (his widow) and her family for telling us about Korean War Veteran Benjamin Stanley; to Pastor David Hirtle for telling the story of A. C. Woods who gave his life during the Civil War; to Karen Sheets (his widow) and her son, Matthew Whitford, who honored Crown Point’s only fatality during the Vietnam War – Lynn C Whitford; to Regent Deanne Dresser and the members of the Ticonderoga Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for relaying the profiles of the 5 confirmed American Revolutionary Patriots from Crown Point; and to David Hobbs Ð adopted son of Crown Point Ð who told us about Richard Ebersbach, a World War II pilot. Civil War Veterans, Philo Bell and John Hammond, were honored at the Putnam Creek Bridge and Forestdale by Kama Ingleston. Thank you to one and all.

We also wish to remind people of the caretakers of the solemn places we visited on Memorial Day and are visited by family and friends through-out the year. Those who care for cemeteries and monuments in our community deserve our thanks for a tremendous job. Thank you.

We would like to remind you again, if you have a veteran in your family, who was born in Crown Point or enlisted while a resident of Crown Point, please contact either of us or a Memorial Day Committee member so their name can be listed in the Memorial Day booklet for next year. The veteran does not have to be a war veteran just an honorably discharged serviceman or woman.

Remember to honor those who gave their lives not only on Memorial Day but everyday by saluting the flag. When you place your hand over your heart during the National Anthem, Taps or the presentation of the American Flag it will make you proud to be a Citizen of the United States and it just might make the person next to you do the same.

God is involved To the Editor: The liberal ideology espoused by Mr. Binczik needs an abrupt rebuke. It is him and not Dan Alexander who has bungled the facts. It doesn’t matter when the words “under God” were added to the Pledge of Allegiance. Those two words were installed to recognize that we are a nation under the providence of the Almighty. As Pres. Reagan said, “If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

Thomas Jefferson’s “wall of separation between church and state” only solidified the author’s assertion that government is given no authority to establish a religion nor interfere in the practice of the faithful (or faithless). The “wall” was symbolic in that it would provide further protection for the people from the forcible hand of government in religious matters.

Yes, the Constitution did not contain the word God. However, our Declaration of Independence put a profound emphasis on our “Creator” at the outset. Jefferson wrote that it was “self-evident” that all men seen through God’s eyes are equal and bestowed with “certain unalienable rights“; neither to be taken from or given away by the possessor.

Our Founders knew, as most Patriots of today know, God is indeed involved with the affairs of men.

Alexander From page 4

would this place be and how thankful and respectful would we be with each other? Oh sure, we would still have problems to resolve but we would be far more understanding and willing to work with each other to overcome the challenges while valuing the irreplaceable things.

Is any day not a great day when you have your health, family and the freedom to pursue your version of happiness, not at the expense of others? The most self destructive thing we can do in life is to assume that our happiness comes from someone else’s misery. In life, in politics and in our communities happiness is built on the simple joys of building something together and celebrating the joy of that accomplishment. This country, while far from perfect, will only find its way out from under the dark clouds when we remember to cherish how far weÕ ve come as a nation. We must remember to work together to pass along that same opportunity to the generations that follow and to the nations whose people long for the gifts we take for granted.

O

ur house along the Saranac is full of memories. Almost every drawer, cupboard and old button box is jampacked with photos, newspapers and family memorabilia. It pleases Kaye and me to be surrounded by what the late comedian George Carlin called “stuff.” We love our stuff.

While relaxing on our screened-in back deck last weekend, I noticed that Kaye was up to her usual busyness. She enjoys just sitting and watching river bank activity as much as I but at that moment, she was lifting the top of what I always

by Gordie Little thought of as an old wooden hope chest. It once had rattan covered sides, but that had long since fallen away. More recently, it simply occupied a corner of the room and was covered by a heavy cloth rug that had picked up pollen and other soil from the winter and spring.

She removed the rug and washed it, revealing the box or cedar chest or whatever you want to call it.

It sat for years, not thought of as anything except a place to sit. It was just there, out of mind.

Not this day. She flipped the lid and began pouring through the contents. Every object she pulled out was a treasure. It was like an archeological dig in a time capsule.

Photographs? There were many along with newspapers dating to who knows how many decades ago? One of them heralded the dedication of the “new” Bridge Street Bridge in Plattsburgh back in 1935. I uttered sounds of wonder and joy not necessarily becoming to a man of my advanced age. We had only recently re-dedicated the same bridge to veterans and filmed a complete television show culminating in the unveiling of an attractive sign at that location. Talk about reducing the span of years into a single moment.

Another was small-sized, complete copy of the very first Life Magazine, published on November 23, 1936. Of course, I stopped to look at every photograph and read every word. I was especially interested in seeing the automobile and cigarette ads. The latter enjoined readers to smoke this or that brand because doctors touted them as being good for digestion. You were told to enjoy what we later called “cancer sticks” between every meal course. Amazing.

Kaye extracted stacks of report cards for every member of our family. Hers and mine were in the mix. Her high school diploma was there.

“It looks a little rough,” she said. “We look better than our diplomas,” I answered. She placed all the school-related items in separate piles to give to our kids for future safekeeping. As they drop by, she doles them out to each one. We shed tiny tears of joy while looking at handmade special occasion cards our kids made for us.

There was also a stapled booklet from PlattsburghÕ s Broad Street School containing stories and poetry composed by several our children and their friends in 1967-68. It is entitled “Our Journey Through School” and was dedicated to beloved teacher Alice Moyer. I wonder how many copies are left.

There are so many items connected to my life that I now have my own stack. It’s like a child’s favorite blanket. I’ll keep it close and savor everything till the day I die. I’ve been reading stories and poems that I wrote in my early school grades and other things I typed on the old Royal machine in high school. There are letters to my dad from a couple colleges trying to tell him that his prodigal son wouldnÕ t be allowed to return the following year. I gave my parents so much grief.

As I began to write this, Kaye was inspired to go upstairs and carry down a 100-year-old wicker sewing basket full of old photos. What fun we had pawing through them. We promised ourselves to write names on the backs before our generation is no more. It’s already too late to identify some of them.

Perhaps you have a treasure chest in your attic and can soon share a similar experience. Let’s all sing “Memories.”

Blue Bombers thump Vikings for Section VII Class D title Lake Placid 14, Moriah 1; championship is third-straight for Blue Bombers baseball

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It has been a banner year for the Blue Bombers. Just ask Ryan Damp.

With a 14-1 win over Moriah in the Class D baseball final, the team’s third crown in as many years, Damp experienced yet another kind of threepeat — a trio of Section VII titles in just one year.

“It’s definitely a great capstone to my high school career,” said Damp, the lone senior to be a part of the feat. “Three sectional championships in soccer, hockey, baseball. Three in a row for baseball. That’s definitely awesome.”

And to top it off, the Blue Bombers celebrated the win with the softball team, minutes removed from a sectional title of their own just down the dirt road from Chip Cummings Field.

While the soccer and hockey finales were fought to the very end, the May 29 win over the Vikings was no nail-biter.

Lake Placid jumped ahead with three runs in the bottom of the opening inning, led by six before Moriah scored its lone run, and rolled to the finish with eight unanswered for the 14-1 final score.

Chris Williams led the way on the mound for the Blue Bombers, striking out 10 batters across seven innings. The pitcher’s biggest stat, just one earned run, could have been higher were it not for what head coach Brian Brandes called a “gutsy” performance.

In three different innings, Williams and the Blue Bombers fielders left runners stranded on second and third base. In another, the final out came with the bases loaded.

“We tried to limit it,” Brandes said. “If they score one, that’s fine. They got the out when they needed it and they limited their opportunities.”

Two of the key outs came from Kamm Cassidy, another on a catch by Noah Mohr in center field, and in the top of the fifth Williams fanned two straight to end the inning with runners on second and third.

“I felt really good, everything was working for me,” said Williams, who threw six strikeouts over the final three innings to help seal the victory. “We had a little bit of rough patches, but our fielding came together when it was necessary. I tried to put the ball in there, get the strikeouts I needed, and it worked out.”

Meanwhile, at the plate, the Blue Bombers were dominant.

Damp and Mohr both had three RBI on a pair of hits while Evan Damp connected on two as well. Cassidy and Connor Preston both added two RBI, Preston’s coming on a double and sacrifice bunt.

Both the Lake Placid baseball and softball teams celebrated Section VII Class D championship wins just minutes apart from one another on May 29 in Plattsburgh. Next up for both teams: Section II’s Fort Ann in sub-regional play.

Lake Placid tallied 12 hits overall and put six more on base on errors committed by the Vikings.

MoriahÕ s Chris Clarke led the team at the plate with a pair of singles, including a smack with the bases loaded to send a runner home in the top of the fourth.

Clarke, who pitched through most of the third inning, took the loss on the mound. The senior pitcher, one of the best in the league, had thrown a great deal in the games leading up to the final — eight innings a week prior and seven more in the semifinal — and may have suffered an injury in his throwing arm.

“We were worried because we know Chris is a very good pitcher,” Brandes said. “(Moriah head coach Casey Nephew) hid him from us this year. It was a good move. I think if he didn’t have to throw him on Tuesday, it would have been a much tougher game. They’ve improved tremendously this year.”

Damp echoed the sentiment, saying that it was Ò toughÓ to see one of the league’s top throwers struggle after a pitching the Vi-

kings into the finals.

With the sectional title in the books, the Blue Bombers’ next game comes in sub-regional play against Section II Class D champ Fort Ann in Saranac on Friday, June 5, at 4:30 p.m.

Lake Placid’s draw in the state playoffs is by far the toughest.

As of May 28, Fort Ann was ranked second in the state. If the Blue Bombers are to beat them, the next team waiting is Section X’s Heuvelton — New York’s top-ranked Class D team.

“Our road to the final four would be tough,” Damp said. “I’m looking forward to it, though.”

Williams said the same, acknowledging a tough opponent in Fort Ann but adding that the Blue Bombers feel good.

“We have to get all of our pitchers back,” Brandes said of preparing for regional play. “Ryan Damp is now back and fullstrength pitching. “We’ll look at the weather and get some good days off. But we’ll still make sure we hit it pretty hard.”

For the Mountaineers, the loss capped one of the strongest years in program history. The girl’s program won division titles in soccer and softball, making the sectional finals in each while making the semifinal round in basketball.

“I think it was a nice year but a little disappointing,” said McGinn, who coached the basketball and softball teams. “We handled the demons of beating Crown Point in softball and Keene in soccer, but the soccer team was suffering three key injuries in the final, and as far as hoops, that’s on me because I thought we had the best team in the section.

— consists of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run.

Jim McKenna, CEO of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, explained that Ironman will send a site review team to Lake Placid in late July, and in August the final decision on who will host the 2017 event will be made.

Until then, there will be contact with Ironman as ROOST and others sort out of logistics of the potential influx of competitors, as well as family and fans, coming in from scores of different countries to the Lake Placid area.

“We have a tried-and-true course,” McKenna said. “Being such a global event, our challenges are in the hosting of that many spectators within a close proximity to the race site. We’re dealing with Clinton, Franklin, Essex and Hamilton counties. Other cities aren’t reaching out quite that far.”

If Lake Placid does get the green light, the economic boost could be a substantial one. Athletes come to the area to not only compete, but train in the time leading up to the race. Politi said that the 70.3 World Championship, which would fall later in the summer, could bring as many as 20,000 people to the county. ÒI ronman is an event thatÕ s good for everybody, especially Essex county,” Politi said. “Athletes are here training all the time, and thatÕ s just the buildup for the event. You take all the people for the regular Ironman and consider the possibility of another 5,000 for this particular event, thatÕ s an awful lot of people training and visiting our community.”

The Olympic village has had a long-lasting relationship with Ironman. This year’s July 26 race will mark the 17th running of the event in Lake Placid, the longest active streak in the continental US and second only to the 140.6 championship held in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Brian Delaney, who owns High Peaks Cyclery, knows a thing or two about Ironman Ñ heÕ s done the Lake Placid race every year since it began, as well as in Hawaii, Florida, California and Utah — and said the 70.3 could play a major role in branding the village as a worldclass destination for summer sports. ÒI think itÕ s going to be just what we need,Ó Delaney said of the shorter race thatÕ s drawing bigger and more diverse crowds. “You think we’re busy now, itÕ s going to be on everyoneÕ s radar screen to come and do the Lake Placid 70.3.”

Delaney said the trickledown effect could lead to the area pulling high-profile events in different sports, such as mountain biking, and continue to bring spenders in town in even more months of the year.

In the winter, tourists come to the area to ski the same trails as Olympic athletes did decades ago. The 70.3 course, he said, could make for a comparable draw.

Working in Lake Placid’s favor, perhaps, is its long standing as a destinations for triathletes, whether for over a hundred miles or less than twenty. Since 1984, Delaney has put on a Monday Night Mini-Triathlon, which starts at the beach on Mirror Lake and consists of a 400-yard swim, 12-mile bike and three-mile run. With hundreds of different people taking part in it each year, he estimates it has helped introduce 10,000 people to the sport. (This summerÕ s series opener will be on Monday, June 22.)

One can think of the 70.3 as an in-between.

“The 70.3 doesn’t kill you,” Delaney said. “You can actually do something the next day. People want to train on this thing.

We get phone calls in April, ‘Is the lake open? We want to start swimming.’ They’ll just train to the fall now.”

Since 2014, the 70.3 World Championship has rotated to sites around the world. The first running was in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, while this yearÕ s will be held in Austria and Australia will follow in 2016.

Then, perhaps, in Lake Placid. ÒT he rotation of the Ironman 70.3 World Championship has elevated the race and allowed athletes from all over the world to experience a World Championship event at fantastic locations,Ó said Andrew Messick,

Chief Executive Officer of Ironman, in a statement released on May 26. “The finalists for the 2017 championship are all tremendous hosts to Ironman races and provide courses well suited for an event of this caliber. These cities also provide our athletes and their families world-class hospitality and endless scenic and entertainment options.”

For a village that already hosts two major summer events Ñ the Lake Placid Horse Shows and the Summit Lacrosse Tournament — the 70.3 World Championship has the potential to be as big, if not bigger, of an event as the others.

Economic boosts aside, Politi expressed optimism for Lake PlacidÕ s chances because of a characteristic the other two possible sites don’t possess — a rich athletic history that includes two Olympics.

“I think we have a really good chance,” Politi said. “This is the place of miracles. Everybody wants to win a miracle in Lake Placid.”

Tupper Lake on a renovation of the adjacent public golf course. The plans will integrate and preserve the characteristics of its partial Donald Ross design with those of a Greg Norman Signature design.

“The participation of Greg Norman and his organization should make it clear to all that the community is going to get the opportunity it needs and deserves,Ó said Michael Foxman, the Philadelphia attorney who assembled the 6,300 acre site. “Tom Lawson and I, and our partners, do not think we could have found anyone better

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. suited than Greg Norman and his Great White Shark Enterprises to help us all move the Adirondack Club and the region forward.”

LOW-IMPACT The Adirondack Club is a low-impact, environmentally conscious, four season resort and private residential community that recently has been approved for development of more than 700 luxury homes, most of which will be clustered around the existing ski area and golf course with lake and river views.

Approximately 86 percent of the wooded property will remain undeveloped. The detached home sites will range from skiin ski-out townhomes to 5-acre mountain retreats to 1,200-acre Great Camp estates with a private 15-acre pond and more than a mile of frontage on the Raquette River. The Adirondack Club is the only such resort and private residential community ever approved in the Adirondack Park, which represents an area as large as Vermont.

“We are thrilled that Greg Norman and his team have signed on with The Adirondack Club and feel it is a perfect fit given Greg’s commitment to the environment and his high standard of quality in all of his endeavors,” says Tom Lawson.

Existing and planned activities and amenities include the Alpine ski area, terrain parks, new base lodge with restaurant designed in the classic Great Camp architectural style, extensive cross country ski and hiking trails, hotel and spa, marina, fly fishing school, guided hunting and fishing, ice skating rink, sailing and everything expected at a four season mountain resort.

An exclusive gated community of 18 large lots will be released for sale this year and development of the first home sites and the marina is also expected to commence this year. An influx of U.S. and Canadian tourists and homebuyers seeking a wooded retreat with rustic comforts is anticipated.

ECONOMIC BOOST Despite its location in one of the most beautiful areas of the world, like most small towns, the Adirondacks struggle economically, especially during winter months. The Adirondack Club is a catalyst for the renaissance of the village and the region, providing superior destination lodging and amenities.

The resort and private residential community is expected to generate 500 full and parttime jobs on site as well as hundreds of construction jobs. In addition to renovating the wellknown ski mountain, itself an economic driver for the community, the planned homes, many of which will be available in a rental pool, hotel and inn will help to satisfy the regional need for modern, overnight tourist accommodations. The effect on the finances of the community and its tax base will be dramatic. Ò It has been clear since my first visit that the community both needed and wanted the mountain and lake resort and that its elected leaders would be, as they have been, willing companions in our effort,Ó says Foxman. “We are pleased for ourselves and delighted for the community and the region.”

Founded by Norman, Great White Shark Enterprises (GWSE) is a multi-national private corporation based in West Palm Beach, FL featuring a diverse portfolio of well-established and successful companies. With 20 different businesses today bearing the iconic shark logo, ranging from private equity to lifestyle-driven consumer products (apparel, wine, beef), to golf course design (95 international courses), to event management (3 PGA TOUR events), to assetbased debt lending (Great White Shark Opportunity Fund), GWSE is a force on the landscape of golf and beyond.

Blue Bombers oust Mountaineers for trip to Class D finals Lake Placid 11, Minerva/Newcomb/ Long Lake 2; Bombers seek third consecutive championship

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Alex Brandes’ last at-bat on his home field couldn’t have gone much better.

The senior hit his first career home run, a two-run blast in the bottom of the sixth, and the Blue Bombers rode big hits and solid pitching to an 11-2 win over the Mountaineers on May 26.

“It feels really good to get (the home run) at home, in sectionals, in the last home game IÕ m ever going to play,Ó Brandes said after the game.

Lake PlacidÕ s pitching, meanwhile, kept Minerva/Newcomb/ Long Lake at bay from start to finish. Kamm Cassidy fanned eight batters over the first five innings to earn the win while his relievers took care of the rest.

Noah Mohr started off shaky, walking two batters before allowing a two RBI double to Mickey Johnson, but it was all the pitcher would allow as he struck out the next three. The seventh brought less drama as Chris Williams sent three back to the dugout and sealed the win. Ò Kamm did a great job, battled through a lot,Ó said Lake Placid

head coach Brian Brandes. “Noah struggled coming in but he managed to find a groove. Then Chris came in and nailed it.”

The top-seeded Blue Bombers got rolling early on when Connor Preston reached home after the first of seven Mountaineers errors. They left the inning up three before a five-run third put the game largely out of reach.

Mohr and Billy Waldy both had two-RBI doubles for Lake Placid, which as a team had 10 hits. Half of them were doubles as Evan Damp and Kris Patterson both reach second on deep his.

Preston finished the game with a pair of hits and stolen bases while Damp had two hits as well.

Despite the setback, Johnson had a solid game for the Mountaineers. He went 3-for-3 at the plate, hitting two singles and a double to go along with three stolen bases.

Henry Sandiford struck out six batters in four innings of work before Andrew Sponable took over for the remainder of the game.

Coach Brandes said after the game that it was big for the team to get the top overall seed and home field advantage, especially a year removed from two trips to Wells in as many days.

Lake Placid, 9-7 overall and a .500 record in league play, could also have benefited from a regular season of playing big schools before breaking away to Ds come playoffs: The team went 5-7 against A through C schools, but boasts a perfect 4-0 against its own class.

While Lake Placid was pulling away in the win, the other semifinal matchup was a much tighter affair as third-seeded Moriah eked out a 2-1 win over Crown Point.

The Blue Bombers and Vikings will vie for the Section VII Class D title on Friday in Plattsburgh. Lake Placid is 2-0 against Moriah this season, winning the two regular season games 18-4 and 16-5.

Lady Eagles, Chiefs claim track and field sectional crowns PERU — Powered in large part by Kallie and Kirsten Villemaire, the Beekmantown girls’ track and field team edged second-place Saranac by 37.5 points, 169.5-132, for the Section VII crown.

By Teah Dowling

Opened April 16, Commercial Sales, a new division of Taylor Rental that is conveniently located near Taylor Rental and locally owned and operated, sells masonry and landscaping items for homeowners in the North Country. Ò ItÕ s all landscaping and masonry supplies,Ó Manager Charlie Parrott said. “We sell the material like a retail store because there was a need for it in Plattsburgh.”

Commercial Sales is comprised of a team of three Ñ Parrott, masonry and landscaping salesman Ken Provost and yard specialist Zach Banker. With this staff, they all bring about 30 years of masonry and landscaping experience and knowledge to the business and its customers.

Cultured Stone

The veneer stone business shows on the front a variety of different cultured stone sidings that they sell, including River Rock Adirondack, Laurel Cavern Asher, Heritage Pennsylvania, York Limestone, Palermo Country Rubble, Sierra Mountain Ledge, Roughcut Autumn Leaft, Yoon Mountain Ledge, Veneto Fieldledge and much more.

The store sells veneer stone created by manufacturing companies, such as Cambridge Pavingstones, Environmental Stoneworks, Model Stone Co. Inc. and Stonecraft Industries, who all sell a variety of different styles in different colors.

To the right of the store, above the bags of grass seeds, sits red cedar, cherry and black mulch to cover the soil around the root zones of plants.

Beside the mulch are containers of landscape stones, including large cobble stones, red lava rocks, river pebbles, pea pebbles, pond pebbles, marble chips and more to add a sense of substance and nature to any yard.

Commercial Sales strives to make sure the DIY person has all the items necessary to get the job done when doing tasks in masonry or landscaping.

The store offers supplies such as safety eyewear, gasoline tanks, working gloves, ear plugs, extension cords, sunglasses, taping knives, scrub brushes and a variety of tools, including trowels, floats and edgers.

Ken Provost and Charlie Parrott of Taylor Rental.

Also, Commercial Sales sells bricks from companies such as Redland Brick, McAvoy Brick and The Bowerstone Shale Company.

“There’s line after line after line,” Parrott said. “We have a couple thousand items.”

These cultured stone and brick veneers can be used to spruce up households, porches, pools, patios, driveways, fireplaces and fire pits, stairs, grills, fountains, columns, flower beds, balconies, sidewalks, pathways and much more.

Displays of the stones, which are differentiated by flats or corners, are showcased on the walls of the store, surrounded by different add ons to make a home and lawn complete and unique.

ACAP celebrates half-century hallmark LAKE PLACID Ñ Adirondack Community Action Programs (ACAP) celebrated their 50th anniversary of working to combat poverty in Essex County with a poverty simulation and a commemorative dinner at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid on April 23.

ACAP was created as part of the national War on Poverty and incorporated as a community action agency in 1965.

Committed to providing services for children, adults, and seniors, the agency has worked to improve the lives of families in the community for over 50 years.

At the conference, staff, stakeholders, and board members participated in a poverty simulation hosted by the NYS Community Action Association.

The simulation gave participants a better understanding of what it is like to live in a typical low income household.

Insight gained by participating in the poverty simulation helped attendees to understand why those in poverty make the choices they make, and helps them in assisting families.

At the dinner, the organization took the opportunity to recognize its history and those who have been part of the positive impact the agency and its programs have on their community.

Outgoing Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas presented the agency with a proclamation from the board recognizing ACAP for its years of service to the community.

Douglas read a letter from Gov. Andrew Cuomo recognizing ACAP’s accessible, innovative, and comprehensive programs: Ò ACAP has made great strides through an integrated network that promotes academic enrichment, work experience and opportunities, positive youth development, and strong family relationships Ð initiatives that support a person on the path to growth, self-reliance, and dignity.”

The evening ended with CEO Alan Jones and agency directors recognizing the many staff who have reached milestones in years of service, thanking them for their hard work and dedication.
