SARANAC LAKE — Good news for local entrepreneurs with big ideas and empty wallets: A group of North Country investors wants to fund your startup.

This civic-minded group is willing to dish out anywhere between $50,000 and $500,000 to help give your fledgling business wings.

Meet Point Positive, a Saranac Lake-based consortium of angel investors.

They’re actively seeking out new projects.

Maybe even yours.

Small businesses are critical to the survival of Adirondack communities, explained the group’s coordinator, Melinda Little.

Point Positive seeks to offer an alternative to the longstanding belief that communities need to attract successful businesses to relocate here from somewhere else and set up shop.

“That’s not going to happen,” said Little.

Point Positive, a group of local investors, is seeking new projects to fund. Since their launch 18 months ago, the group has funded three startup companies, including Wholeshare, an online purchasing service that allows customers to form co-ops and purchase items in bulk.

LAKE PLACID — Two men bobbed in a boat in the southwest Adirondacks.

One man spoke, the other listened.

The lake had once been written off as dead, smitten by acid rain.

The fisherman spoke of reeling in a four-pound heritage native strain 24 inch Brook trout.

But no one believed him.

A few months later, a team from Cornell University was in the same lake netting.

And they caught a fish.

They told the fisherman.

“That’s my fish,” he cried!

“That’s the one I caught!”

They believed him.

While William Janeway was excited for the angler, what was more thrilling was that the lakes were coming back after being scorched by acid rain.

Janeway, the executive director of the Adirondack Council, has a lot to be happy about: Forty years after the formation of the Adirondack Park’s leading environmental advocacy organization, things have never looked brighter for the group.

Their finances are muscular, the strongest in their history, with about $6 million in their Forever Wild Fund.

They’ve racked up a number of recent policy wins that have hit the sweet spot between preservation and economic development: they’ve landed funding to fight aquatic invasives and boost clean water CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

County clerk petition challenge enters courtroom

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A lawsuit has been brought against the county board of elections and the Democratic candidate for Essex County Clerk, Luke Hudak.

Win Belanger and Essex County Clerk Joseph Provoncha filed the suit, claiming specific objections to Hudak’s signatures.

The case was assigned to Essex County Supreme Court Judge Robert Muller, who is now tasked with determining if fraud was involved in a hearing on Thursday, July 30.

It’s a common election year occurrence.

Provoncha, the long-term clerk, is a Republican, while Hudak is running on the Democratic line.

Belanger, a GOP point man, filed specific objections against Hudak’s petition on July 13,

alleging that 92 of the 321 signatures collected are invalid.

Hudak needed 305 for ballot access.

The suit is atypical because it comes after the county’s board of elections conducted a prima facie review but before they issued a ruling.

Muller can rule on possible allegations of fraud that the board of elections cannot. (The board can, however, rule on first-glance errors like writing in the wrong space or neglecting to fill in other required fields.)

Commissioner Alison McGahay said she and Mark Whitney, the other commissioner, sat down on July 17 to conduct the review, agreeing on some irregularities but disagreeing on others.

But Whitney went on vacation before the office could make a ruling, said Belanger.

The deadline to ask a judge to invalidate a petition was Thursday. It’s a state law that’s never extended.

This is a problem, say those who are upset with Whitney’s absence, because it forces objectors into court before a lower body makes a ruling.

Belanger said he’s never seen anything like this in the seven years that he’s been reviewing petitions.

“Taking a vacation during the election process that he’s being paid to work on is just wrong,” said Belanger.

Belanger says the inability of the commissioners to act and make a decision on the specific objections will force objectors into court, perhaps unnecessarily.

“It’s an unneeded expense to everybody,” said Belanger. “The commissioners need to rule.”

Whitney did not respond to an email requesting comment.

Belanger said the system was broken.

“As long as it’s their process, I will never review petitions for anyone again,” he said.

Essex County GOP Chair Shaun Gillilland called Whitney’s absence “fairly close” to a dereliction of duty.

“We understand it is a part-time position, but the commissioners are expected to perform duties as part of the political calendar,” said Gillilland. “The rules are pretty clear, you either follow them or you don’t.”

Belanger said some irregularities in petitions are to be expected.

“You try to get enough signatures because human error takes over in over in some incidents,” he said.

But the irregularities depicted in Hudak’s was the highest he’d ever seen.

“The party had objections,” said Provoncha.

“I’m not sure all will stand up in court, but we had to bring them forward anyway.”

Hudak said he was disappointed at the challenge.

“It’s unfortunate for everyone in Essex County,” he said. “I see the existing government getting in the way of free will and its people in regards to this process.”

The process exists to eliminate the aspect of fraud, said Hudak, who said it was obvious that his signatures were in no way fraudulent and that the Republicans were trying to win on a technicality.

“I don’t think our petitions will stand up to those arguments,” said Hudak.

In fact, said Hudak, the campaign chose not to submit some petitions because they didn’t think they were good enough.

“What they don’t want is competition rather than a fair contest for the seat,” he said. “What I’m after is the best for the Essex County, And what’s best for the county, in a democratic county and a democratic place, is choice.”

Wine Tour making its way to the Adirondack Coast

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN VALLEY — The 2015 Summer Wine Tour, presented by the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail Association, will take place Saturday, Aug. 15 and Sunday, Aug. 16 from noon to 5 p.m.

Each of the six wineries and cidermills — Amazing Grace Vineyard & Winery, Everett Orchards, Hid-In-Pines Vineyards, Vesco Ridge Vineyards, The Champlain Wine Company and Elfs Farm Winery & Cidermill — will offer different tastings of wine and/or cider along with a food that corresponds with it.

“People over two days get to try different wines throughout the region and get a different appreciation of the nuances of each wine,” said Tom Frey, owner of Elfs Farm Winery & Cidermill. “This is why the wine tour is so important; it brings people in and gets them to experience all of the wineries here.”

For tastings at all six wineries and cidermills, it costs $25 a ticket. Tickets are available at all locations and can be purchased until the last day of the tour.

When one purchases a ticket, they’ll be donating a portion of their ticket to CancerBgone, receiving a glass and tasting a wide variety of the area’s wines and ciders.

VESCO RIDGE VINEYARDS Daniel and Nancy Vesco started Vesco Ridge Vineyards in 2009 out of their house in the basement, making the wine in their garage.

Three years ago, they wanted to expand and they built a new building on top of a hill overlooking the valley in West Chazy with a tasting room, wine making facility and a deck overlooking fields of grapes.

“It’s been a long journey,” said Daniel, who’s also president of the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail Association.

The grapes from the vineyard go through the wine making facility and turn into one of the several white, red and sweet wines they have to offer.

For red wines, they offer Foch, Cabernet Franc, Leon Millot, Marquette and Syrah, along with a harvest blend of three different varietals.

For white wines, they sell Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Diamond and Vignoles.

For sweet wines, they make a sweet red, sweet white and dessert-apple wine.

Along with wines, they make white and red jelly, a chocolate wine sauce and wine dips for crackers — all made by the Vescos.

“People should visit here if they’re looking for a different experience,” Daniel said. “Because I’m a small vineyard, I like to experiment a little bit making my wine unique and that’s what my wine offers.”

CHAMPLAIN WINE COMPANY Owners Colin Read and Natalie Peck began planting a vineyard at their farm in Mooers in the summer of 2008 — one of the largest vineyard facilities in the North Country.

“Our vineyard is the most important part of the operation,” Read said. “We put a lot of effort into growing a very large variety of different grapes.”

Four years ago, they opened a tasting room, artist shop and tourist stop on 30 City Hall Place.

The Champlain Wine Company creates a variety of white, red and blush wines, including Chardonnay, North Star Riesling, White Table Wine, Crab Island Wine, Cayuga White, Cabernet Franc, Compass Red, Full Sail Red and Full Sail Blush.

Along with wines, they also make their own line of oils and vinegars and makes special wine delicacies such as wine sorbets and wine sangrias.

“For events like the wine tour,” Read said, “we put on a special tasting.”

year, they’ll put in another couple thousand — growing “happy” grapes that can tolerate the cold.

In the future, Frey said they might start reducing the number of wines to four or five and ciders to four or five.

Above: Vesco Ridge Vineyards creates a variety of red, white and sweet wines with only two people: Daniel and Nancy Vesco. During the wine tour, guests will be able to experience tasting wine outlooking both the vineyard and the valley.

Below: The wine tour this year features six wineries and cidermills: Amazing Grace Vineyard & Winery, Everett Orchards, Hid-In-Pines Vineyards, Vesco Ridge Vineyards, The Champlain Wine Company and Elfs Farm Winery & Cidermill. Tickets cost $25.

ELFS FARM WINERY Elfs Farm Winery & Cidermill lives by a winemaking philosophy — make one thing, do it right, do it again, do it right, repeat, repeat, repeat, and after 20 times move onto something new.

Elfs Farm Winery & Cidermill, opened and operated by Frey and his family eight years ago, offers a variety of different wines and ciders.

For wines, he sells Strawberry Rhubarb, Frontenac 2012, Adirondack Red, Cayuga White, Semi-Dry Riesling and Lady Di’s Apple Wine — all made without added sugar and water.

“You can forge wine by adding sugar and water or you can just let the wine speak for itself,” Frey said. “That’s what we try to do with our wines.”

Currently, Elfs is planting more Minnesota grapes. Two years ago, they put in 5,000 vines.

Last year, they added another 2,000. And next

Lake Placid to get Bassmaster tourney in 2016 LAKE PLACID —The B.A.S.S. Elite Series will partner with New York State to bring the premier fishing tournament to Auburn and Lake Placid in 2016.

Under a partnership with B.A.S.S., the event will include the Governor’s Challenge fishing competition and some of the biggest names in professional fishing to highlight and promote the state’s many fishing and vacation opportunities.

“From the rivers of the Thousand Islands to the shores of Union Springs, New York is home to world-renowned fishing for all anglers,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “I am proud to announce that B.A.S.S. will be back next year to host three tournaments in Central New York and the North Country. These exciting competitions will continue to promote New York’s status as an unparalleled destination for tourism and recreation – which leads to more jobs and economic activity in communities across the state.”

This new partnership promises to be even bigger with the addition of two professional tournaments, one in Auburn, NY in June and a second one in Lake Placid in July.

New York State will continue to see professional angler competitions next year providing economic impact and exposure to multiple vacation regions. Following the success of the Governor’s 2014 Adirondack Challenge, the Governors Challenge will feature a tournament, fishing demonstrations, and a banquet to lure in New Yorkers and visitors from out of state.

The Bassmaster Elite Series and the Governors Challenge events will build upon other fishing-related initiatives spearheaded by the Governor and intended to boost interest in fishing and traveling in New York.

“B.A.S.S. Is proud to be able to contribute to Governor Cuomo’s initiative to grow sportfishing and tourism in the state of New York,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO. “Our Elite Series anglers love going to New York’s great bass lakes, and many of our 500,000 B.A.S.S. members enjoy traveling to the state for a taste of the fantastic fishing opportunities there. We look forward to another year of bass competition in the Empire State.”

Recently, Empire State Development’s Division of Tourism, I LOVE NY, partnered with B.A.S.S. to bring Casting Kids, their program to promote fishing to youngsters, to Central Park in New York City, with the goal to introduce a new audience to fishing. Elite pros, Michael Iaconelli and Matt Lee brought their rigs to show off how the pros do fishing. As part of the program Bass Pro Shops, Shakespeare, Ugly Stik and Zebco partnered with B.A.S.S. to donate 400 rod and reel combos to NYC Parks to use in a rod lending program.

Continuing the support of New York State’s fishing industry, this past June, New York State residents and visitors were able

“Being new in the industry, it’s still fragile,” Frey said. “What we’re trying to do here at the winery is grow.”

to fish for free without a fishing license at any of the state’s 7,500 lakes and ponds and 50,000 miles of rivers and streams the weekend of June 27-28. Saltwater anglers were also able to fish in marine waters for migratory marine fish species without enrolling in the Recreational Marine Fishing Registry.

In addition to the June free fishing weekend, legislation signed

by Governor Cuomo now allows for an increase in the number of authorized yearly statewide free fishing days. This year, Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, has also been designated as a free fishing day.

FINEST FISHING IN THE COUNTRY New York State has some of the finest fishing in the country. There is world-class fishing for a wide variety of coldwater, warmwater and saltwater fish species. With more than 7,500 lakes and ponds, 50,000 miles of rivers and streams, and hundreds of miles of coastline, fishing opportunities are always nearby such as the Great Lakes and mountain trout streams.

Explore 165 fish species in NYS: Lake Champlain in the Adirondacks region was recently named the 5th best bass lake in the U.S., and the Catskills region is known as the birthplace of American fly fishing, which uses artificial imitations to fool fish into thinking they are chasing actual flies. Known for their fighting spirit, smallmouth bass are among the attractions in Central New York.

SCA looking for veterans for upcoming exhibit

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Strand Center for the Arts is curating an exhibition to bring awareness of local veterans and their families.

The exhibition, which will be on display during November to coincide with Veteran’s Day, will feature both painted portraits and photographic images of returning, returned or still engaged veterans from any era.

“It’s amazing that people come out and support veterans full force when its Memorial Day or the Fourth of July,” said Christina Elliott, the SCA gallery coordinator. “We’re trying to push the idea that veterans shouldn’t just be celebrated on these holidays, but should be recognized that they coexist with us on a daily basis.”

As part of the project, SCA is looking for U.S. military veterans who would be willing to sit for a portrait group for one to two sessions at $25 a session.

Veterans who would like to sit for portraits will meet with the portrait group and be scheduled this summer for a Thursday session from 10:30 a.m. to 12: 30 p.m. — a group that started six years ago by Cynthia Root, who’s father was a World War II veteran.

“I feel like we’re very unaware in this country that there’s even a war going on and our vets come home and have to reintegrate into this life and we don’t know what they’ve been through,” Root said. “To me this is just to bring awareness that we have these people that are struggling for certain reasons.”

Cynthia Root came across this idea after painting portraits of veterans who showed up at her portrait group, including one Iraq veteran named William.

As William walked into the room that day, he couldn’t walk well due to his injuries. Root asked if he would like to share his experience and he did. Root said it was hard for the group to hear. She asked him to return a second time, but he never did.

“It was fascinating to hear him talk about his experiences,” Root said. “He was suffering and you could tell.”

Now during her portrait groups, she plans to ask each vet, “Is there anything you would like to share about being a vet?”

So far, she’s gotten a few responses. One vet said, “Well I’ll tell you what I don’t want to talk about,” and another vet said, “There should be no need for vets.”

“We’re not doing an exhibition about politics or war,” Elliott said. “This is really about their military experience and, more specifically, their experience upon returning home.”

A veteran who passed can also be part of the exhibit. Veterans, their families or friends can submit a photographic image from any era to either be displayed during the exhibition or turned into a painted portrait by SCA artist members.

This year, SCA will be putting on a half gallery show. SCA’s

goal is to continue this exhibition next year as a full show — giving them a full year to generate more portraits, sponsorships and funding.

Resulting artwork will be available for purchase from the artist.

Submissions can be made by emailing JPEGs or by mailing copies of the photograph to Elliott at gallery@plattsburgharts. org or The Strand Center, c/o Christina Elliott, 23 Brinkerhoff Street, Plattsburgh, NY 12901. Do not mail the original copy as SCA cannot be held liable for damages.

To participate or learn more about the exhibition, contact Elliott by email or call 518-563-1604. No modeling experience is necessary.

Peru Federal Credit Union opens on Bear Swamp Road

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PERU — The new and improved Peru Federal Credit Union officially opened its doors with a flag raising and ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday, July 22.

The grand opening took place in front of the new building with President/CEO Maggie Pope, the board of directors, several organizations that helped with the project and community members.

“This is something that we’ve wanted right from the beginning,” Pope said. “We’re very excited for the community to see what we’ve done for them.”

The idea of a new building came about three years ago when the board of directors and President/CEO Maggie Pope got together during a strategic planning meeting and decided it was time to expand from the old location at 22 Davey Dr. behind McDonald’s at which they’ve stayed for 17 years.

Once they decided to expand, they got together with Fuller Excavating and AES Northeast and put this plan in motion.

“We were honored to be part of this project,” said Jim Dugan from AES Northeast. “It has been our pleasure to work with everyone.”

With the help of the two contractors and subcontractors (J Hogan Refrigeration & Mechanical Inc., Security Concepts, Hackett’s Masonry and Concrete Countertops, Home Gallery, Twinstate Technologies, Westelcom and others), they broke ground Oct. 1, 2014 and completed it 10 months later.

“We can truly say that this project is built by our members for our members,” Pope said. “I couldn’t be more proud of that.”

They decided to build the building on 700 Bear Swamp Road because of its open and larger location near the interstate.

The bigger location allows the bank to offer a two-lane drive thru, 24-7 ATM drive-thru and traditional services such as debit cards, checking and saving accounts and investment accounts.

As a not-for-profit organization, the bank

offers higher interest rates on saving accounts and lower rates on loans.

Though this new bank has much to offer, it cannot serve everyone at this time.

Currently, people can join by working for one of the member groups or being a family member of that person.

The bank is hoping, however, to become a community credit union to offer membership to anyone who lives and works in Clinton and Essex counties. They’re striving to get their community charter by the end of the year to continue to grow members since its first opening many years ago.

Mary Ann Rygaylo, vice president of the board of directors, said the Peru Federal Credit Union originally started with John Roach from Peru. He founded the credit union because he felt the need to have one in Peru and ran it from his kitchen table.

After he retired, the credit union moved from his kitchen table to Fran Pulsifer’s porch, which was no bigger than one of the offices at the current bank.

From her, they rented part of the old bar and grill called Rustique in Peru. After growing so much to the point where they stored items in the bathtub, they decided they needed to get their own building and built one behind McDonald’s and then built another one at its new location today.

“To watch it go from a hole in the ground to this is fantastic,” Rygaylo said. “We hope to keep it growing with the hopes of becoming community based for Clinton and Essex counties.”

The bank is open Monday to Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., equipped with new staff: operations manager Dianne King, MSR supervisor Abbey Shay, loan officer Morgan Kowalowski and MSR’s Nichole Prentiss and Sarah Sherman.

For more information about the bank, visit it during its hours, call 518-643-9915 or email info@perufcu.com.

“If anyone has not been here, give us a try,” Pope said. “You don’t know what you’re missing.”

President/CEO Maggie Pope, Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and others cut the ribbon to the new and improved Peru Federal Credit Union Wednesday, July 22.

Missing NYC man found in Lake Champlain

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PORT KENT — New York State Police found the body of missing New York City man Tristan J. Metroze in Lake Champlain Tuesday, July 21.

A recreational diver found Metroze’s rental car in about 25 feet of water, resting upside down in Lake Champlain in the Town of Chesterfield near the Port Kent Ferry Landing.

The diver couldn’t see inside as the car rested

on a silty bottom that clouded the water and obscured vision. But he made out the license-plate number and notified police.

The New York State Police and the Lake Placid Police Department commenced a recovery operation the morning of July 22.

State Police divers recovered the vehicle as well as a body located in the driver’s seat.

A post-mortem examination was completed at Adirondack Medical Center where Metroze was positively identified.

Lake Placid Police Chief William Moore said the investigation indicated the rental car had been intentionally driven off Lake Champlain Transportation Company’s north ferry-loading platform.

The cause of death was determined to be asphyxiation by drowning and the manner of death was ruled a suicide.

Metroze, a 39-year-old U.S. Navy Veteran, leased the gray 2011 Chevrolet in Lake Placid on June 4, where he was last seen.

Editorial

What’s in a name? Survival

P

aul Smith’s College announced last month that it will change its name to reflect that of benefactor Joan Weill, thus becoming Joan Weill-Paul Smith’s College.

The decision sparked a firestorm that has shown no signs of abating.

Critics have accused the school of selling out and violating the ideals of their founder, the school’s namesake.

It was a clandestine decision, they say, made without staff and student input.

Alumni continue to mobilize on Facebook, where a group against the change has amassed nearly 3,000 members.

We agree with this change.

We’d rather see the school remain open than go belly up and become a Tahawus-like testament to better days, a moldering relic in the woods.

Over the last 20 years, Weill and her husband have given the school nearly $10 million and helped the college raise almost $30 million from other donors.

Their endowments have helped create a broad range of initiatives, including programs to introduce prospective students and faculty nationwide to the college and its curriculum.

The donations have helped create a new library, a refurbished and remodeled student center and two endowed scholarships.

Though students past and present stated their appreciation of Weill’s contributions, most expressed their disagreement with the name change since numerous campus buildings already carry her name.

While they clearly have a point — we’d be rattled, too, if we were the last to know about such a tectonic shift — we also believe that once the smoke clears, there’s little to warrant the consternation this has created.

Here’s why: There appears to be a massive disconnect between alumni and the school.

These same alumni complaining about the name change are the last to donate to help keep the college afloat.

As noted by Weill, the overwhelming majority of the school’s endowments, some 97 percent, came from non-grads.

Critics counter that only eight percent of those on the school’s board went to the school

for which they’re making decisions.

The fact is, like many other small private colleges, Paul Smith’s College has been struggling financially. It has faced increasing financial pressure since the economic downturn that began in 2008.

Just last year, the college’s board was forced to cut its workforce, including faculty, by 12 percent.

At that time, Paul Smith’s President Cathy Dove said the school simply cannot survive on tuition and traditional fundraising efforts alone.

Without private benefactors, the school — along with diplomas from the college — would completely evaporate.

This gift will allow the school to chart a financial future.

While it may slightly narcissistic to tie the donation to a name change, the school simply isn’t in a position to argue.

Let’s look at what the funds will bring.

The gift, said Dove, will allow the school to invest in current and new academic programs, additional scholarship support, capital programs and attracting students from new markets.

All good stuff. But we think the latter is particularly crucial.

Think about it: We live in the greatest test laboratory for environmental policy in the world: the Adirondack Park.

We can’t think of anything better for Paul Smith’s than to attract the next generation of scientists and ecologists from the developing world — countries facing profound environmental degradation in the pursuit of economic development — to study here and take their knowledge back with them.

Without this funding, that cannot happen.

Students and alumni should appreciate the fact that there is someone willing to step forward to make the college sustainable so that future generations can take advantage of this unique institution.

With that in mind, a name change seems like a small price to pay.

Letters to the Editor

Looking back on 50 years in Willsboro To the Editor: This is the year for the Carleu family to celebrate for several reasons.

First of all, the family for 50 years has summered on Willsboro point, on the Lilly farm, exact same property, for all those years.

In 1964, we rented a stone cutter’s cabin on this now-defunct blue stone quarry. We continued to rent from Katherine Lilly every year the same cabin until 1985 when Bob Lilly, after his mother had passed away, sold us the cabin with 200 feet of lake frontage.

Next, in 1987, Gene Peltier built our own new camp and, of course, we have been here ever since.

Now, this year, the Carleu daughter, Linda Smith of Colorado, is celebrating a “significant” birthday, which will include a reunion of three Carleu generations and three Connolly generations, who have been together most of these 50 years.

Linda, who was learning her ABCs at the beginning on the Lilly farm, now has an MBA and is a CPA and a CFO. To celebrate this Carleu/Connolly birthday party/reunion, four additional camps have been rented on the point to hold all the celebrants, and a huge feast will be catered by Glenn Sayward of the Village Meat Market for all those attending.

Now, we are looking forward to another 50 years on Willsboro point.

George Carleu Willsboro

Thank you for courageous stand on minimum wage To the Editor: Today I made a trek familiar to many residents and was reminded at every stop of the Editorial Board’s urging consideration of an increase in the minimum wage: At the Post Office, $19.99 to overnight a letter essential to keeping out of debt.

At Aubuchon’s, $33.97 for a gallon of mid-grade deck stain/sealant..

At Top’s, $4.99 for a pound of 23-fat-gram ground beef and $3.59 for a dozen eggs.

At Kinney’s, $6.99 for a 6-oz. can of Off. These are not unreasonable or frivolous purchases. But a minimumwage worker can probably not afford them. He is always asking, “How much more can I cut back?”

Targeting only fast-food workers for a wage hike, as some politicians propose, seems unfair to those earning the same in other jobs.

But we have somehow become tolerant of a system under which ordinary hardworking citizens cannot afford necessities. The only recourse is to redefine “necessities” once again.

Much employment is of the “at will” variety: If you don’t like your pay, you can leave. And if WE, the employers, don’t like YOUR asking for more, we can TELL you to leave.

Unions are practically nonexistent; so-called employee legal protection is a joke. Hourly workers are reclassified as “management,” eliminating the overtime they’d been counting on.

As the stock market climbs and investors become richer, working people remain at the mercy of the employer class. Bernie Sanders may be pushing the envelope farther than many can accept, but the status quo will not stand--It will just get worse. And it seems that we’ve stopped caring.

So, Valley News Editorial Board, thank you for your courageous stand. If a small-town newspaper in a conservative locality can be a voice for an equal playing field, maybe there’s hope.

To the angry letter-writer fulminating against a more equal sharing of the huge pie, it looks like you’ve gotten yours and don’t have to care.

I know: Up by your bootstraps. Everyone can do it, right? Sure.

Jeff Kleiman, Elizabethtown

News in Brief ‘Light up the Stage’ campaign announced

SARANAC LAKE — The Pendragon Theatre announces a new campaign on Adirondack Gives, Adirondack Foundation’s crowdfunding site for nonprofits, community groups and municipalities.

The “Light Up The Stage” campaign is raising money for Pendragon Theatre. The theatre is in urgent need of a newer and safer lighting system. They have recently received a $20,000 grant from the Charles R. Wood Foundation to begin the work of replacing the lights, but are still about $10,000 short of the estimate for replacing the system. Pendragon has turned to the popular and successful Adirondack Foundation’s crowdfunding sight to help raise the difference.

The project will be live at adirondackgives.org/campaigns/lightup-the-stage/ until Wednesday, Sept. 23. The goal is to raise at least $2,000.

Pendragon Theatre is a professional theater and is now in its 35th season. Pendragon produces a five-play theater season annually and offers a music series, extensive children’s offerings, and rehearsal and performance space for other local organizations.

Big shoes to fill!

L

et’s talk

shoes. I read somewhere Imelda Marcos had 3,000 pairs of shoes. I have no idea why that popped into my head.

I was grateful, because I needby Gordie Little ed a column topic.

I spoke with someone who had two pairs— one for church and the other for everything else.

Growing up in the ‘30s and ‘40s, we were poor and I remember my first pair of leather high-tops with the knife pouch on the side. Nowadays, high tops are sneakers or tennises. When I broke my leg at age 8, they acted as a cast and saved me from a compound fracture.

Penny loafers were all the rage for a while.

Kaye had a pair when she was a teenager and put real pennies in them. Rich kids used dimes. I had used my cents for penny candy at Rickard’s store in Massena Center.

At this time of year, I wear Crocs. I still have my first pair of brown ones. There is no tread left and they are battle worn, but they are cherished.

I have eight pairs. Yes, I wear the strap in the back rather than on top of my foot.

Research reveals myriad shoe types, materials and styles over thousands of years. If you’re looking for a shoe museum, you’ll probably have to travel up to Toronto, Ontario and visit the Bata Shoe Museum, celebrating its 20th year. Sonja Bata’s collection dates to the 1940s. It advertises its vast array of footwear as “the world at your feet.”

Dorothy had red shoes in her iconic movie.

They’re worth big bucks today. Charlie Chaplin boiled and ate shoe leather in the 1925 silent movie classic, “The Gold Rush.” The first boots worn on the moon were tossed out into space for fear of contamination. Trivia.

As youngsters, we cut leather tongues out of old shoes. They made perfect slingshot pouches for small rocks and ball bearings. I still save old shoe laces wrapped up in a large ball. I might need them to tie up tomato plants.

I’m left-handed and have been told when dancing that I have two left feet. Did you know that there were no left and right shoes until the early 19th century when a bright person in Philadelphia invented specific shoes for each foot?

Wooden shoes? Sure, I had a pair when I was five or so and wore them in public, in spite of not having much Dutch blood in my veins. When Grandway was located in Plattsburgh Plaza back in the day, I interviewed a little boy wearing wooden shoes who wanted to sing Christmas Carols on the radio. He’s all grown up and is a fine journalist now. He still wears wooden shoes.

In case you feel an intense desire to know why wooden shoes were invented, it’s because there are lots of wetlands in the Netherlands and leather shoes get soggy and useless real fast. The wooden shoes were and are lined up outside their doors and are never worn inside. You can Google the word “klompens” and learn all about it.

Of course you recall my “shoe incident” earlier this year. I dressed up really good for an important presentation at a local restaurant. I grabbed my very classiest and most expensive old shoes from the closet. To make sure I passed muster, Kaye checked me from top to bottom to make sure the laces were tied, my tie was on straight and my fly was zipped up.

All was well and good until I walked into the meeting room and felt as though lumps were growing under my feet. They were. The shoes were coming apart with each step. I ended up with no soles or heels by the time I sat down and that was just one of my embarrassing moments on that day.

Just for you, I counted the shoes in my closet and in the mud room (much to Kaye’s consternation). 42 ½ pairs. I couldn’t find one mate. Guess I better make a few sling shots. This one’s for you, Ed Sullivan. It’s a really big shoe.

Joyce Mitchell pleads guilty in prison escape PLATTSBURGH — The woman accused of smuggling tools to the pair of inmates who escaped from Clinton Correctional last month pled guilty on Tuesday to a pair of charges related to the escape.

Joyce Mitchell, 51, waived her right to trial and pled guilty to first-degree promotion of prison contraband, a felony, and fourth-degree criminal facilitation, a misdemeanor.

The charges carry of a maximum of seven years in prison.

As part of the plea, Clinton County DA Andrew Wylie said his office wouldn’t pursue additional charges against Mitchell, a former seamstress at Clinton Correctional who supervised Richard Matt and David Sweat in the tailor shop.

Those include possible further charges of promoting prison contraband changes, conspiracy charges related to the murderfor-hire plot against her husband, Lyle, as well as Article 130 charges related to the sexual abuse of inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat.

Sweat did not confirm a sexual relationship with Mitchell, Wylie noted.

“We resolved this manner in the best light possible,” said Wylie. “She’s getting the max on those charges.”

Wylie said his office decided not to pursue the murder-for-hire charges because they couldn’t rely on Mitchell’s testimony alone.

Since Sweat has not corroborated that account, said Wylie, proving them beyond a reasonable doubt would be “extremely difficult.”

But Mitchell could face additional charges depending on what the state inspector general’s investigation turns up, said Wylie.

Wylie said the plea was hashed out with Mitchell attorney Ste-

ven Johnston.

A similar deal was offered to Gene Palmer, the correction officer accused of aiding the inmates by smuggling in needlenose pliers to the inmates and burning at least a dozen paintings given to him by Matt.

Palmer refused and that case will be brought to grand jury in early-August, said Wylie.

“Our plea negotiations with Mr. Palmer have failed,” he said.

Escape charges against Sweat will also be brought to a grand jury in early-August after being delayed due to the state inspector general’s investigation and to shore up witnesses.

Wylie said it’s important to prosecute Sweat on those charges so that the Department of Corrections can sustain the “enhanced services” that have seen the convict kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day since he was transferred to Five Points in Romulous County.

The prosecutor doesn’t envision a long process for those charges.

Wylie said no other suspects have been identified in connection with the escape, nor does he anticipate pursuing charges against the 12 DOCCS staffers who were placed on administrative leave last month.

Mitchell appeared in Judge Kevin Ryan’s courtroom shackled at the waist and wearing black and white prison uniform.

When presented the agreement to sign, a bailiff unlocked her wrist shackles and she began softly weeping.

Mitchell’s husband, Lyle, was also in the courtroom.

Dressed in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, he betrayed no signs of emotion and declined to comment as he was led out of the

courtroom by Johnston.

Johnston said Lyle still doesn’t believe the allegations that his wife conspired with Matt and Sweat to kill him following their escape on June 6.

“He’s upset, there’s no question about it,” said Johnston. “He’s clearly sticking behind his wife.

He’s been behind her, all the way through.”

Johnston said Lyle felt it was in his wife’s best interests to accept the plea.

Joyce Mitchell He said his client feels remorseful, alternating between anxiety and depression “She got in over her head to something she never should have started. But she did and she’s paying the price — she realizes that she made a horrible mistake.”

“To a certain extent, Matt got her to feeling good about herself, better than she had in a long period of time, and she was swept off her feet a bit,” said Johnston. “And then when she realized who she was dealing with, everything changed.”

Mitchell was remanded to the custody of Clinton County Sherriff’s Department on $100,000 cash, $200,000 bond and will appear for sentencing on Sept. 28.

The benefits of a truly wild life!

R

esearch continues to confirm what most of us already knew as kids, that outdoor recreation provides a variety of important benefits that go well beyond the obvious fun and games.

Studies indicate outdoor play can have positive effects on a wide range of wellness dimensions including self image, nutritional, spiritual and intellectual health, enhanced social skills, self confidence and stress management.

While it’s interesting to note this recent research, it really comes as no surprise. For centuries authors have been detailing the amazing benefits of the outdoor life; and yet it still manages to elude the attention of a majority of travelers. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m perfectly happy to have an opportunity to enjoy the woods and waters largely to myself, which I seem to do more often than not.

However, as someone who has realized the benefits of a truly, wild life, I believe it is important to pass it on. I suppose my greatest fear is not that fellow travelers will eventually overrun this place. Rather, I worry it will be the lack of use that serves to undervalue the lands. Even if it is so, I doubt these ‘waste lands’ will ever be truly wasted. It is important to recognize that the majority of the world’s population currently lives in urban areas, and their numbers are expected to increase by 66 percent in less than a generation. Current projections indicate urbanization combined with overall growth of the world’s population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban populations, which would raise the world’s urban population to over six billion by 2045.

If the trend continues, it will expedite the potential for increased urbanization, and wild places like the Adirondacks, are going to experience increased traffic. We’ll have to learn how to deal with the steadily creeping trend toward urbanization,

infrastructure, for instance, while also barring off-road motorized recreation from Forest Preserve trails.

And they’re at the forefront of the kinder, gentler discourse sweeping the Park.

Janeway cited the state’s recent 62,000 acre acquisition of the MacIntyre East property in the High Peaks.

Local government allies cheered the governor when that was announced, he recalled.

“That would not have happened in the past,” Janeway said.

“We’re seeing a way forward that isn’t a matter of environment versus community, but making sure we embrace both.”

Hundreds gathered on a Lake Placid farm celebrate the group’s 40th anniversary on a muggy day in mid-July, including 7 of the organization’s 11 former chairs, all of whom were being granted the group’s highest honor.

Point Positive From page 1

But boosters can, however, support homegrown ideas that will eventually take root, blossom and become sustainable parts of the local economic ecosystem.

EATING WELL The group has funded three ventures in the past 18 months, including Wholeshare, an online purchasing service that allows customers to form co-ops and purchase goods in bulk.

It’s a boon for communities in the sparsely-populated North Country, Little said, granting people access to local organic and natural products, items like heirloom tomatoes, sunflower seed oil and grassfed beef.

Thirty group coordinators are dotted throughout the Adirondacks. They place a weekly bulk order and the items are then dropped off at a designated site for pick-up.

This bulk purchasing also allows retail establishments, like Nature’s Real Food Market in Tupper Lake, to offer more reasonable pricing for their customers, explained store coordinator Julie King.

Their group, the Tupper Lake Real Food Cooperative, numbers some 300 members choosing from some 15,000 available items.

Say a shopper has their eye on feta cheese from a local producer.

Perhaps five pounds might be too much for a single shopper.

But five people chipping in on one-pound chunks might be more feasible.

Once five people buy in, King will place an order. After it arrives at their shop on Park Street, customers then come and pick

The people who always live in houses, slept on beds and buy their food from bakers and grocers are not the most blessed inhabitants of this wide and various earth… they are boarders in the world, and everything is done for them by somebody else. They live second or third hand.”

He was also quick to note: “Outdoors, the vagarities of a cloud become significant, you watch the sky with a lover’s look to know whether it will smile or a frown. When you lie at night upon your bed of boughs and hear rain pattering on the canvas close above your head, you wonder whether it is a long storm or only a shower. And you realize that no lumberman’s ax has robbed the encircling forests of their glory of great trees. All is fresh, sweet, calm and clear and bright.”

which is not likely to be a direct result of the Park ‘going to the burbs.’ It’s more likely to be the result of a slow but steady suburban creep that eventually brings urban sprawl into the Park.

Fortunately, I won’t be around to witness it. However, with the term ‘Gramps’ recently added to my long list of titles, I do hope the next of generation of Adirondackers will realize the value of wild lands that still can be found throughout the region.

Recently, while sorting through a pile of musty old books, I happened upon a leather bound edition titled, “Fisherman’s Luck and Some Other Uncertain Things.” The small book, published in 1899, was penned by Henry Jackson van Dyke, an American poet, author, educator, and clergyman, who served as a professor at Princeton between 1899 and 1923. Mr. VanDyke was appointed as Minister to the Netherlands and Luxembourg in 1913 by President Wilson, his friend and former classmate.

He was also a close friend of Helen Keller and many of the other celebrities of the day.

He penned over 70 books in a long career, which is rather surprising considering the fact he suffered from a pronounced angling affliction that took him to the Great North Woods, and to such idle flows as The Test and The River Itchen in Hampshire, England. One of his best known quotations is “Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

VanDyke truly enjoyed spending time in the woods and on the waters, of which he claimed: “The attraction of angling for all the ages of man, from the cradle to the grave, lies in its uncertainty. ‘Tis an affair of luck. Having grown up enjoying the wilds of rural Pennsylvania, VanDyke was familiar with the outdoor life, and even had a hand in the development of Scouting in the US. Although he is best known as a man of letters, it’s obvious he was very comfortable in the wild woods and on the waters.

In one essay, he derided those who had never experienced the joy of wildwood travel, explaining: “They must get their excitement out of the newspapers, reading of the hairbreadth escapes and moving accidents that befall people in real life. What do these tame ducks really know of the adventure of living? If the weather is bad, they are snugly housed. If it is cold, there is a furnace in the cellar. If they are hungry, the shops are near at hand. It is all as dull, flat, stale, and unprofitable as adding up a column of figures. They might as well be brought up in an incubator.”

Of course, he added: “ “But when man abides in tents, after the manner of the early patriarchs, the face of the world is re-

As the summer heat begins to bare-down on the Adirondacks, the window of opportunity for anglers will grow shorter by the day. It is a good time for wet wading the tumbling, mountain streams, where water temperatures remain low and the only competitors are likely to be otter, osprey or a lost hiker.

Kim Elliman, speaking for the group, called the original board of directors remarkable in size and scope.

Wilderness was a concept to fight for, he recalled, and the Adirondack Council became a model for regional environmental councils across the country, providing a strong and organized environmental counterweight to pro-development forces.

The original board took a fierce stand against watering down of regulation and policy and development plans, Elliman recalled, while fighting for, and eventually securing, protections against acid rain.

They were fierce and came to define 20th century land conservation, said Elliman.

Eventually, staffers took the lead and, over time, began to frame issues with more nuance. New board members came and went, all navigating the council into the present, where the conversational climate is less polarized than it once was.

At the same time, local economies began the shift away from resource extraction towards recreation.

“Time matures even conservation groups and the battles are less doctrinal now,” Elliman said. “No longer is there a question of whether a Park, or what sort of Park, so much how best to integrate the private lands into the landscape of the Park.”

While there are issues that still need to be hammered out — including the DEC’s proposed Unit Management Plan for the Essex Chain of Lakes — Adirondack Council officials believes unity is the keyword that binds all stakeholders together.

Incoming chair Bob Kafin said the Adirondack Park is unusual in that contains the wildest lands in the northeast interspersed with “very special rural communities” It’s imperative to ensure their sustainability, he said, just as much as it is to preserve wilderness.

“We need to work to do both at the same time,” he said.

Janeway agreed.

“It’s not always easy, but it’s a really important project and it’s the way we all can engage in making the world a better place,” he said.

up their slice, among other items.

The co-op engages in similar process for other items, which usually comes in the form of splitting cases of goods.

Places like Tupper Lake, Cranberry Lake and Long Lake have been designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as food deserts, or rural locales without access to fresh, healthy and affordable food, explained King.

One of the goals of Nature’s Real Food Market is to help create a food hub, a measure that will better serve these communities.

King cited the group’s relationship with the Whitten Family Farm, a homestead operation in the Potsdam area who recently opened up a warehouse.

“They bring stuff there, we bring stuff back,” King said. “She’s a buyer. As she gets that going, we might do the same here.”

Aside from the financial investment, Woo said, Point Positive has been helpful in offering insight that helps Wholeshare better serve their customer base.

Since they’re Adirondack-based, having that perspective has given Wholeshare insight into the needs of local customers.

Most investors tend to be based in large metropolitan areas and don’t have firsthand experience with food access issues as those in rural areas, explained Woo. Little said Wholeshare is “slowly but surely” working their way up to be a national company.

A BETTER PLACE Wholeshare, which employs six, has offices in both San Francisco and Potsdam.

Point Positive decided to support the upstart after a pitch meeting last fall.

Co-founder Peter Woo said one of the company’s primary goals is to make the Adirondacks a better place.

A chief element of doing so is focusing on retaining young families by providing the services that have become commonplace in larger metropolitan areas, like the availability of local food and natural products.

This vision aligns with that of Point Positive, explained Woo. Now that the organization has a presence on the ground, the next step is offering more products to consumers.

The following several months will see tens of thousands of new items being added to their inventory in collaboration with smaller stores and farmers who sell sustainable food.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

POINT POSITIVE WANTS YOU Point Positive is always open to new pitch ideas from scalable ventures within the Adirondack region, she said.

Here’s the rub: Meet them halfway.

The group is looking for upstarts who’ve already developed a prototype, demonstrated market experience and locked in some degree of investment, small steps that will display a compelling case to show why their biz has the potential for future growth.

Following a pitch, Point Positive will pretty much immediately decide if they will invest.

But failure doesn’t mean the end of the line.

The group will continue to offer encouragement and provide mentoring to possible clients, from introducing them to helpful resources to assisting them in developing their business plans.

The survival of Wholesale and other small businesses is critical to the future of the region, said Little.

And for these upstarts to thrive, community buy-in is crucial.

“The locals have to support us,” said King of Nature’s Real Food Market. “We’re a small store in a small community. The locals have to support us or we won’t survive.”
