North Country returns mixed verdict for Cuomo Dems split as governor seeks third term

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have won a commanding victory over challenger Cynthia Nixon in last week’s Democratic primary, winning 65 percent of the vote.

But he barely limped across the finish line in northern New York.

Cuomo carved outright wins in Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties, but earned razor-thin margins in Clinton (3 points), Jefferson (1.3 percent), St. Lawrence (1.7 percent) and Warren, where he eked out a 2 percent victory, according to unofficial returns from the state Board of Elections.

His vote margin in Herkimer County was just 7 votes, 753-746.

He lost Fulton and Lewis counties, as well as Washington

and Saratoga, part of the Nixon blast radius emanating out from Albany and circling the surrounding counties.

Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul fared far better, sweeping all 12 counties in New York’s 21st Congressional District, besting Jumaane Williams 53 to 47 statewide.

Nixon garnered statewide totals of 34.4 percent, roughly the same numbers Zephyr Teachout secured in 2014, where she won 30 of the state’s 62 counties — including Hamilton, St. Lawrence, Warren and Washington — in her primary bid against Cuomo.

Turnout roughly doubled that of 2014 with 1.5 million voters, or about 27 percent of registered Democrats.

Cuomo’s pick for attorney general, Tish James, took 40 percent of the vote in a four-way race — but failed to win a single North Country county.

Instead, voters in New York’s 21st Congressional District were divided between Rep. Sean Maloney and Teachout, who

took a stab at the seat in her third race in four years.

Teachout won Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Herkimer, Saratoga, Washington and Warren counties (and by just 2 votes in Franklin County, 652 to 650), while Maloney racked up wins in the western part of the district, including Fulton, Lewis, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties.

LOCAL REACTIONS

Clinton County Democratic Committee Chairman Sara Rowden said she wasn’t surprised Cuomo won the Tri Lakes region.

“He’s in many ways been good to the North Country,” Rowden told The Sun. And she wasn’t shocked at the nail-biter in Clinton Count y, which went for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic presidential primar y — » Cuomo Cont. on pg. 11

Photo by Tim Rowland » Merger Cont. from pg. 1 Called an Advisory Referendum, the nonbinding poll is step one in formalizing policy that would create a new school district serving Westport, Elizabethtown and Lewis and the hamlet communities among them, including New Russia, Wadhams and Stowersville.

The date set for district residents to weigh in at polls in each school is Oct. 9.

The school board decision Thursday in Westport was 4-0, minus board Vice President Jim Carroll, who was unable to attend the meeting. Carroll sent a letter expressing his support for the resolution.

The measure was unanimously approved at ELCS on Wednesday evening, 5-0.

School board members in each district expressed how important it is that community residents make the decision whether to merge or not.

In Westport, the question will be presented to voters thus: “Should the Westport Central School District and the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District be joined together as a single district by centralization (merger)?”

In the Elizabethtown-Lewis district, the question will be nearly the same: “Should the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District and the Westport Central School District be joined together as a single district by centralization [merger]?”

If the measure fails in either or both districts on Oct. 9, merger discussion ends.

OCT. 9 VOTE Locations and time

In Westport, the advisory referendum will take place in the hallway outside of Bulles Auditorium at Westport Central School, Oct. 9 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Absentee ballot information can be obtained through District Clerk, Jana Atwell at 518-962-8244.

At ELCS, the advisory referendum will take place in the school’s conference room Oct. 9, from 12 to 8 p.m.

Absentee ballot information can be obtained from the ELCS District Clerk Allison Sucharzewski by phone or email: 518-873-6371 x 502 asucharzewski@elcsd.org Once an absentee application is received, then a ballot will be sent. ■ 4 at 6 p.m. in the Westport school auditorium.

“That will be similar to our Aug. 29 meeting to provide an opportunity for the community to ask questions about the merger study and process,” Westport School Superintendent Josh Meyer said.

“I am very open to going and speaking with any interested group in Westport to answer any questions they might have,” Meyer said in an interview with the Sun.

Westport’s superintendent presented merger report information and answered questions at a recent town council meeting and also in a meeting with the Westport Chamber of Commerce. Meyer also is set to answer questions at fire company meetings in Wadhams and Westport.

Meyer said any other community groups could contact Westport District Clerk Jana Atwell to arrange for a presentation with time to ask and answer questions.

Informational question-and-answer sessions build from research and merger protocol relayed in a WCS/ELCS centralization Final Report that examined financial, transportation, staffing, curriculum, facilities and student population data from each district.

The study and final analysis was conducted between Aug. 2017 and April 2018 by education consultants at Castallo & Silky LLC. It is available online: westportcs.org/ domain/146 The advisory referendum on Oct. 9 is a non-binding “straw poll” designed to gauge community support for centralization.

If the measure is approved in each school district, a formal binding referendum vote would be scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2018.

The centralization process would proceed under guidance from a newly elected school board, which would be established with a separate vote to begin work in January.

A centralized school district blending Westport and ELCS students, staff and facilities would begin formal operation in July 2019. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Shared American values

Back in the April of 2016, I wrote about the corruption of the powerful on display with the upcoming

By Dan Alexander presidential election.

• PUBLISHER • By this point, it was clear who would represent each party and how it looked like both sides would stoop to new lows in the fight for control of the country.

Today, we know the outcome of the election and how both sides continue their fight for the approval of the American public.

What I find interesting now is, do both sides share the same values as the American public and do they seek the same results with all the major issues that are of concern to the country as a whole?

As a child of the 1950’s, I grew up watching television shows where the good guys always won out.

Seared into memory is the old Superman intro that drove home what Clark Kent’s father originally told him when he was growing up, to always use his superhuman skills for truth, tolerance and justice.

The intro was changed instead to read truth, justice and the American way.

I wonder today if we know what is truth or justice, and is there an American way any longer?

Are the values we once shared and handed down through the generations still at the core of our life today? Do we, by and large, demand fairness, honesty, truth, justice, respect, civility, equality, self-control, liberty and freedom in all things American?

Or, have these once cherished values been replaced in our effort to seek more power and influence with things like greed, winning at all cost, lying or spinning the truth to fit one’s perspective, contempt, selfishness and discrimination?

All one need do is read some of the crazy headlines, watch a newscast or God-forbid listen to the radical talking heads.

Opinions are a dime a dozen, but opinions do not necessarily reflect the truth.

I choose to believe that the American public still embraces the important values, but we are slowly being manipulated, out of convenience, to think differently than our forefathers.

We seem more willing to go along with trends that serve us well versus standing firm on issues that at one time were very clearly defined.

In this war of truths, we find ourselves in today, I’m still convinced that we will find our way through this mess and once again find our common core values that prove fair to all. ■

The Sun Editorial

Broadband public meetings needed Here we go again.

After a brief reprieve, local lawmakers are again duking it out with the state agency overseeing New York’s universal broadband build-out effort.

The concerns of local officials have shifted since the state rolled out the program in 2015.

While town supervisors were once worried about locations in their communities being left out of the grant process as a result of flawed data, their concerns have since morphed into a broader latticework of suspicion and skepticism.

With the final round of the $670 million in state and federal subsidies to providers announced in January, lawmakers continue to seek clarity on numerous components.

They’re seeking clarification on which regulatory structure will remain after the state declares victory and providers complete work at the end of next year.

They’d like details on how the state Public Service Commission’s tentative eviction of Charter earlier this summer will portend for their constituents awaiting service.

And they want to know which other funding mechanisms will be available to fill in the remaining gaps — if there are any.

All valid questions.

While their concerns have shifted over time, one constant has remained: Communication issues.

For local officials, these unanswered questions are akin to threads of doubt and suspicion being woven into that latticework, strands that are becoming increasingly becoming difficult to untangle.

We editorialized in April 2017 that localities and the state Broadband Program Office needed

GOP article ‘breath of fresh air’

To the Editor: Editor’s note: This letter is in response to Pete DeMola’s article titled, “GOP hopefuls stump in North Country” which appeared in the Sept. 15 edition of The Sun. I find your Sept. 15 article on GOP hopefuls a needed breath of fresh air for us in New York state and specifically up here in the North Country.

We voters need to make it a windstorm of responsible and positive change this November.

“King Cuomo,” his allies and his “three men in the room” budget making has indeed left us with a tax-and-spend and tax some more political system.

Locally, for example, the costly and slow broadband program, the new Airbnb “hotel’” tax, the well below market value lease rate to Vapor Stone to get them onto airport property,

to improve their avenues of communication.

But since then, it’s been one step forward, two steps back.

For instance, a pair of forums held earlier this year between local officials, providers and state brass in Willsboro and North Creek served as somewhat of a kumbaya moment that resulted in a feeling of progress.

But that goodwill proved to be short-lived and suffered a series of setbacks — including a poorly-publicized public hearing on build-out efforts that reignited transparency concerns among lawmakers.

Several members of the public attended a rescheduled event last month in Elizabethtown — with some coming as far away as Thurman — but were frustrated they could not have their commonsense questions addressed.

Lawmakers were upset they couldn’t answer them, leading to a vicious cycle.

Meanwhile, the state fumed at what they perceived to be another black mark on the program.

Finally, a Saranac Lake-based non-profit stepped forward and offered to serve as a conduit between local lawmakers and the state.

Kudos to that non-profit, AdkAction.

We also commend the Essex County Board of Supervisors and officials across the Adirondack Park for being a forceful and constant voice in ensuring the state meets their pledge to provide high-speed broadband to every state resident.

These local officials are not being unreasonable.

We don’t think anyone is saying the $154 million in public investment to serve North Country locations isn’t a game-changer, and isn’t appreciated by local officials.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The state deserves credit for their ambi-

the dirt-cheap utility rates for the airport Tailwinds operated restaurant, to name a few.

With all the county-centralized growth here there is no current proposal of reducing our taxes like the GOP platform indicates.

Same for eliminating the wasteful with no guarantees the “economic development programs.”

For example, our hoped for “bustling” and expensive air cargo facility and lots of international passengers — really?

What we have gotten is lots of tax debt, overburdened roadways and waste handling systems and just more problems to tax and spend on.

The GOP candidates appear to know and are poised to address these issues.

Furthermore, Cuomo’s cleverlynamed SAFE Act is ineffective, a huge burden to the sports people in this state and a forebearer of what Cuomo et. al. has ready down the road for us. Most of us know laws and compliance, so that matter

tious broadband program.

The voices of local officials just happen to be the loudest statewide because they represent the areas most poised to benefit from this program — including communities that would likely wither up and blow away without the investment.

Pointing out flaws in the broadband program shouldn’t be interpreted as a hostile gesture.

This isn’t a zero-sum game.

But we also said nearly 18 months ago local officials needed to do more than counterpunch.

“A better idea for local governments is to form a regional broadband task force,” we wrote.

They haven’t done that yet, and also deserve to be knocked for their lack of action — particularly considering their concerns have piled up like bumper cars.

While the sessions in North Creek and Willsboro were beneficial — and groundbreaking as state officials rightly pointed out — providers and state officials only discussed issues from the local level, not a broader context.

The state needs to continue to address concerns publicly on a regional basis.

So should the providers, who are the ones ultimately conducting the build-outs.

We suggest a series of regional meetings in the areas best served by the initiative, including the Adirondacks and western New York.

Doing so will give local officials and the public the opportunity to have all of their questions answered.

Because as Essex County officials have said, this is not an abstract concept, but has become personal for New Yorkers.

Garnet Lake boat launch closure is ableist

To the Editor: The State of New York/Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has closed the boat launch site on Garnet Lake.

This launch site has served the communities of Garnet Lake and Johnsburg for countless years. The state explains that they are not closing the site, only restricting its use.

They say you can still lift your boat over the barricade and put it in the lake.

In their wisdom, they are directing you to use a site 8.5 miles away in Brant Lake.

I have used this site to launch my 10 foot, two horsepower outboard for years. I am now 84 years old and cannot lift my boat over the barricade.

Rather than limiting the size of motors to five horsepower or less, they have effectively made the lake inaccessible to only those capable of lifting their boats over the barrier.

Allowing any size boat or motor on the lake, so long as you can lift it over the barricade, does not appear to have any bearing on controlling invasive species.

This action by DEC has all the appearances of restricting the use of this public lake to lakeside residents by making it as difficult as possible for others to use an outboard there.

Possibly, the Town of Johnsburg should consider giving all the residents a reduction in taxes equal to the loss of the use of the lake.

I wish others would respond to DEC Commissioner Seggos with their feelings concerning this matter.

CLARIFICATION

In the article “Voters grapple with tough questions as merger timeline tightens” that appeared in the Sept.

8 edition, Bette Fox was paraphrased as saying “open wounds” remained in the community for years following a merger between Hague Central School District and Ticonderoga Central. The paraphrasing was inelegantly stated. Fox said while the initial merger was initially contentious, residents of the merged district eventually came to support the effort. ■

argue with those who portend their obsolescence to defend their importance and our freedom to read the words of journalists without knowing what they look like, without a third party interpreting their meaning, without spin, gloss or emphasis.

In this paper, I have always enjoyed the regional calendar and been delighted to learn of events that otherwise would have been completely off my radar. I don’t know how anyone knows anything about what is happening in nearby communities without this exceptional resource.

Here’s a suggestion: As we enter this primary/election period beginning now and running through November, use your pages to inform people, in print, what elections are taking place, where people can register to vote, the locations of polling places and their hours.

Essentially, remind your readers of the most basic tenet of American democracy: the right to vote.

The participation of the citizenry in this fundamental, crucial aspect of self-governance has been dismal in recent years.

If your pages can help to change that, perhaps you wouldn’t be asked to publish so many complaints about the way things are.

November votes will determine fate of democracy

To the Editor: Judgment day draws nigh.

On Tuesday, Nov. 6, we will all decide, whether we vote or not, the direction democracy will take.

Pro or con, all recognize that President Trump has profoundly challenged the basic ingredients of democracy…our abilities to trust facts, to disagree civilly, to compromise.

The importance of this vote goes far beyond strong disagreements we all may have on specific policies, conspiracy theories or presidential morality.

We will be choosing between the principles of a liberal democracy or a creeping authoritarianism.

Of the many offices on our ballots that day, the one with the greatest national significance is that of congressional representative.

Yes, there are critically important policy issues that separate the two major congressional candidates of New York’s 21st Congressional District: The Democratic candidate trusts North Country taxpayers to determine how best to make health care accessible and affordable and

BRIEFS

to maintain environmental protections; the Republican incumbent trusts insurance and oil corporations to make those decisions.

But the much larger issue at stake in this election is the health of our democracy itself.

For those Republicans, Democrats and independents who recognize this growing pattern of authoritarianism, unchallenged by a self-serving and submissive Congress, the little circle you fill in on that ballot sheet will have a profound affect on what happens to America in the next two years.

No matter how you voted two years ago, your vote in November will determine whether the erosion of faith in our own democracy will continue unchecked by congressional Republicans or will create enough balance in Congress that we might get back to hashing out our differences in a civil, democratic manner.

Make your own decisions, but vote!

Then we’ll really know where we’re headed, for better or worse.

Please don’t leave the messiness of democracy up to everyone else.

Grateful to Westport Central for quality education

To the Editor: Regarding the proposed merger between Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School (ELCS)and Westport Central School (WCS), I do not have the right to vote.

I am not a member of either the ELCS or WCS district, therefore, I do not pay taxes in either district. However, I do pay tuition for my son to attend WCS. I chose to send him to Westport Central because of their proven record of academic excellence. I appreciate the small class size and valuable opportunities for more one-on-one interaction between educators and students. My son is so happy to be a part of the WCS community and is thriving both socially and academically.

As state and national test scores and school rankings will prove, bigger schools, bigger classes and nicer and newer facilities do not equal better education!

My step-daughter is a 2016 graduate of WCS. She was also an out-of-district student. Currently, she is enrolled at SUNY Plattsburgh, where she earned a spot on the dean’s list last semester.

I attribute her success to her strong work ethic, confidence, time management skills and “can

For years, I have enjoyed attending WCS drama productions, talent shows, chorus and band concerts, sporting events and more. I have witnessed, with great appreciation, how WCS staff works with and encourages students to develop their talents.

My opinion on the merger does not matter. I just wanted to thank the WCS community for what they have done for my children. I hope to continue to watch my children grow as Eagles for years to come.

Proposed school merger won’t solve financial problems

To the Editor: “Vote Yes Stabilize our Taxes” is a fallacy.

New York State implemented a property tax cap on our towns and schools. It’s calculated through a formula and generally runs 2-3 percent allowable increase per year.

If its is not adhered to, monetarily we suffer.

Westport Central School has been adhering to the cap. This year, the board put forth a budget above the cap that preserved some instructional staff that would be cut under a cap budget.

This budget was voted down.

The cap was an attempt to reign in runaway budgets. It did control budgets, but is decimating our ability to educate.

A merger with ElizabethtownLewis Central School will not eliminate the cap nor will it stop the 2-3 percent budget increases we will see every year.

What it will do is, for a time, allow our students a better education.

Every year after the merger, the school board will still decide where to cut. As is now, instructional staff will come on the chopping block and subjects will be dropped until one day, again the voters are faced with this same crisis.

By then, the school in Westport will have been closed for many years.

There may be a school in Elizabethtown or possibly a new school located centrally — it won’t matter.

The cap will still be in place and the budget will still be under pressure.

The solution lays not in a merger, but miles away in Albany. Until a change comes there, you will continue to see reduced service to our school districts.

» Parking ban Cont. from pg. 1 Parking will also be prohibited on the shoulder of the southbound lane between the guardrails south of the bridge.

Due to the shoulder’s narrowness, hikers open their vehicle doors into the traffic lanes and must walk in the highway in order to reach the trailhead. Sight distance is also limited.

“Closing these sections to parking will protect the safety of hikers and drivers,” said DEC in a statement on Monday.

The ban comes as part of a sweeping series of changes designed to reduce overuse and address public safety issues in the High Peaks, which is experiencing record-levels of visitation.

DEC introduced kiosks steering guests to lesser-trafficked areas of the Adirondack Park in July and striped parking spaces along the Route 73 strip.

And as part of newly-approved Unit Management Plans, DEC will relocate the trailhead up Cascade Mountain and construct a new trail up Mt. Van Hoevenberg.

Work is scheduled to be completed by Columbus Day Weekend.

DEC is also working with partners to develop a plan to pilot a shuttle bus at the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Sports Complex and will conduct a study to assess traffic patterns and usage of major travel corridors.

SOLUTIONS WEIGHED

Stakeholders from DEC, local government and environmental groups participated in a work session at the annual Common Ground Alliance meeting in Lake Placid in July to tackle the next steps in addressing overuse.

Attendees largely agreed that hiker education efforts should continue to be prioritized, including ramping up outreach on social media platforms in order to promote more sustainable practices.

Adirondack Mountain Club Executive Director Neil Woodworth noted visitors are sharing summit climbs on sites like Instagram and challenging their friends to do them.

DEC Region 5 Regional Director Robert Stegemann discusses strategies to combat overuse in the High Peaks with Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway at the Lake Placid Golf Club in July as Adirondack Mountain Club Executive Director Neil Woodworth looks on.

Photo by Pete DeMola “We need to redirect that energy and all of that interest,” Woodworth said.

This includes discouraging behavior like climbing Mt. Marcy each month for a year, he said.

Tyler Socash, an outdoor skills coordinator with Adirondack Mountain Club, often takes to social media to educate young people on sustainable measures and “leave no trace” principles.

“I feel compelled to help out personally whenever I see someone disobeying DEC rules or regulation,” Socash told The Sun. People are generally receptive, he said, citing the time when a hiker posted a photo of their party camping at the summit of Big Slide Mountain, which is prohibited under DEC regulations.

“They were so receptive to it,” Socash said.

“They were apologetic and took down their post.”

DEC said they’re continuing to engage people on social media.

“We speak to audiences in a way that doesn’t deter from recreational activities, but helps understand this could happen,” said Erin Hanczyk, a DEC public outreach coordinator, at the work session.

BOOSTING ENFORCEMENT

Stakeholders at the session also grappled with the impacts of introducing parking bans.

Woodworth proposed the idea of asking the state Department of Transportation to weigh a statute that would increase fines and add points to drivers licenses for violating parking prohibitions.

Perhaps portions of the surcharge could be steered back to localities, he suggested.

“I think that would be a sufficient deterrent,” he said.

Attendees agreed data is a key part of crafting policy. But they remain undecided on how to best use the information to fulfill their goals.

Furthermore, better data collection is needed before weighing concepts like permit systems that have been floated by some organizations, including Adirondack Wild.

(Log books at trailheads are traditionally used for search and rescue operations.)

“Before we discuss controls like permit systems, we need to have the data,” said Woodworth.

“We can’t rely on people simply signing register books. A lot of thought needs to be put into a registration system that’s going to gather who, where and so on so the department has the data.”

Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board Chairman Jerry Delaney said the group is wary of driving away tourist dollars that constitute the bedrock of local economies.

“We want a system where these people are steered from overuse areas to other areas,” Delaney told The Sun after the event.

Delaney envisions a “soft” permit system in which guests can register online for a certain destination — like Mt. Marcy, for instance — and DEC comes up with a designated number of environmentally suitable trails for that day.

Once the slots are full, DEC can then suggest alternative plans to direct guests to less-trafficked areas — say, Lyon Mountain in Dannemora — so that guests don’t get turned around by a steward after a long journey.

Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson said whichever strategy is hatched to address problem areas, from easing parking congestion to public safety issues, must be all-encompassing and not hashed out on a piecemeal basis.

“You can move a problem around really easily — make a rule here, enforce something there — but you just move the problem,” Wilson said in July, “which is why comprehensive planning is needed.” ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

Sports Saranac Lake beats the heat to comeback against AVCS

suncommunitynews.com/sports

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SARANAC LAKE | It was a tale of two halves as the AuSable Valley Patriots ruled the first 24 minutes of their game against Saranac Lake on Saturday.

However, it was the Red Storm who was able to overcome the heat and a 14-point deficit, rallying for a 27-14 win over the Patriots.

“It was an Ironman contest for sure,” coach Eric Bennett said about the hot and humid conditions after the game. “I think these kids went through all of the Gatorade in the world, but they kept going and showed a lot of heart and growth today. The amount of heart and growth they started to show was incredible.”

After waiting two games plus the first half in this one, the Red Storm finally found the endzone in the third quarter as quarterback Rhett Darrah rolled out and found Braden Ryan in the endzone for the first score of the game.

“We came out ready to fire things up in the second half and we felt we could outlast them,” Darrah said. “Braden’s catch really got it rolling and we were able to just keep it rolling from there.”

“I knew I was going to have a chance when Rhett called the play and as soon as I made my cut I was screaming because I knew I was open,” Ryan said.

Ryan then scored the second touchdown of the day for

the Red Storm on an 80-yard run before Jeffery Lavair outjumped the defender to haul in a 60-yard catch and run pass to give the team their first lead of the season at 21-14.

“Rhett threw a lot of good passes and the line did some great blocking in the second half,” Lavair said. “This means a lot after the first two weeks to get this win.”

Lavair also capped the scoring in the fourth quarter when Darrah’s pass was tipped in the endzone before falling into Lavair’s arms for the score.

The Patriots scored twice in the opening half, first on a Jason Fletcher 48-yard scoring run and again on an interception return by Luis Perez.

In the second half, the Red Storm defense kept the Patriots out of the endzone, as AuSable Valley also had to deal with injuries and heat limiting the number of subs they had on the bench.

For Saranac Lake, Darrah finished with 165 yards and three touchdown throws, while Lavair had 95 yards and two scores receiving. Ben Munn finished with 92 rushing yards and played a strong game on defense in the win.

“We new Perez would be their main guy, and we felt we needed to get more pressure on their quarterback (Evan Snow) in the second half so he would not be able to get the ball to him,” Munn said.

Perez finished with 131 receiving yards and 31 rushing yards for the Patriots, while Snow threw for 158 yards and Fletcher ran for 93. ■

Defending C semifinalist Lake Placid shaping into form

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

WESTPORT | The goal for every team is to improve upon your performance from practice to practice, game to game.

For the Lake Placid Blue Bombers, the new season has gone according to that plan.

“This was as good of a performance as I could ask for at this point in the season,” head coach Stuart Hemsley said after the Blue Bombers 1-0 win over ElizabethtownLewis/Westport Sept. 12.

“We came off our best training session of the year the day before. We are playing with only three seniors so the key is to improve upon each effort. What I like is we played a better game (at Westport) today then we did when we were here last season.”

“It is nice to see we played better here than the last time we were here last fall,” said junior Novick, who scored the lone goal for the Blue Bombers against the Griffins.

“We hope to keep improving our skills in each practice and each game.”

Last year, the Blue Bombers kept their

Class C championship streak intact at six, while advancing to the school’s first Class C final four, where they were defeated 4-0

by Byron Bergen/Eden.

“The final four last season was just a dream accomplishment for us,” Hemsley said. “Right now, we are focused on being ready to play soccer in late October. If we are still playing in November, that would be remarkable.”

The Blue Bombers also return several players from the final four team. The team also has a majority of underclassmen, which could be a positive not only for this year but to continue to build the program.

For Hemsley, the key is to keep the team focused on playing soccer together.

“Tonight’s game was a total team performance,” he said. “We had all 11 working together and we were able to get a win. It was a great performance for the boys. We knew we were going to get a good game from the Griffins after they played Chazy so close (a 2-1 loss for EL/W).”

Goalie Jack Armstrong made five saves in the win, while Griffins goalie Brandon Tromblee made four saves. ■ Lake Placid’s Sebastian Narvaez looks to control the ball against Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport’s Matthew Pribble during their Sept. 12 meeting. Hemsley praised Narvaez for having his best game of the season against the Griffins as the Blue Bombers seek to continue to improve throughout the season as they seek their seventh straight Class C sectional title and a return to the state playoffs.

» Cuomo Cont. from pg. 3 even without a visit from Nixon, an actor and education activist who never ventured further north than Saratoga Springs in her six-month insurgent campaign, nor demonstrated much of an appetite for diving into upstate issues.

“There’s a lot of progressives in Clinton County,” said Rowden. “Even if they didn’t see her, they’re aware of what she stood for.”

Shaun Gillilland, regional vice chair of the New York State Republican Party for the North Country, said the results didn’t portend well for Cuomo in November.

“It says to me even Democrats are quite unhappy with Mr. Cuomo,” Gillilland said.

“He’s not as well liked in the North Country as probably he thinks he is.”

And while Nixon lost, the Working Families Party, which endorsed her campaign, said the results portend well for the ascendant progressive wing of the state voters, which has been grinding it out with the more institutional wing represented by Cuomo.

In the state Senate, six of the eight former members of the Independent Democratic Caucus, which forged a power-sharing agreement with Republicans, lost their seats.

Democrats must still defeat at least one sitting Republican in November to capture control of the state Senate majority.

If so, progressives hope to push through legislation that has bottled up over the years, including a single-payer health care bill, voting reform and ethics laws.

Gillilland said the leftward tack bodes well for Republicans.

“It makes it easier to win elections,” he said.

Cuomo lost much of upstate in the 2014 election, but easily managed to dispatch Rob Astorino, the now-former Westchester County executive.

The governor batted back claims last week that Nixon pulled him to the left, touting his record of a $15 minimum wage, marriage equality and gun control legislation as evidence of his progressive values.

CLINTONVILLE | A state championship wrestler and a husband-and-wife duo will be part of the AuSable Valley Central School Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, set to take place this weekend.

NYSPHSAA state championship wrestler Dustin Frederick will headline the selections, along with Mike and Lindsey (Keyser) Douglas; Teresa (Krajeski) Tobin and Shannon Nutbrown, which will take place Saturday at the Keeseville Knights of Columbus.

The ceremony will begin on the 22nd with a 4 p.m. cash bar cocktail hour. Dinner will be served at 5 p.m. with inductions taking place at approximately 6 p.m.

Tickets are $10 and can be reserved by contacting Lindsey Bombard at 518-569-6985 or emailing lindseybombard@yahoo.com. ■ — This news release has been abridged for print. To read this item in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com.

MOLINARO STEPS OUT

Cuomo faces Republican Marc Molinaro in November.

The Dutchess County executive launched an upstate “Cuomo Corruption Tour” on Friday.

“Winning a primary is not winning an election,” Molinaro told The Sun. Cuomo spent $25 million to dispatch Nixon, burning through as much as $400,000 per day in the final days of the contest.

“At end of the day, taxpayers and government lose out,” he said.

Molinaro renewed attacks against the governor, criticizing his oversight of the state’s economic development initiatives, which he contends lend themselves to corruption.

He called for a special prosecutor like Robert Mueller to launch a probe against the governor, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing in a series of criminal trials that resulted in one of his closest advisors convicted on federal corruption charges, among two other associates.

“At the end of the day, he’s allowed to bend the rules and defraud taxpayers,” Molinaro said.

Libertarian candidate Larry Sharpe, Green Howie Hawkins and Stephanie Miner, an independent running under the Serve America Movement line, are also running. ■
