Teens lead police in car chase WILMINGTON | Two teens joyriding in a stolen van led troopers in pursuit from Elizabethtown to Schroon on Wednesday.

Driver Zachary T. Palmieri, 18, and Gregory Russell, 17, were apprehended after crashing into an embankment to avoid a spike strip deployed by state police.

The pair allegedly stole a van belonging to Mountain Lake Academy at the Cobble Lookout Trailhead in Wilmington, a not-for-profit organization that provides residential therapy and education for at-risk children, said authorities.

The two teens, both clients, allegedly stole the vehicle from a trailhead parking area after they had been hiking in Wilmington with academy staff, said Jennifer Fleishman, a state police spokesman, on Friday.

After receiving a report of the theft, New York State Police spotted the van on state Route 73 in Elizabethtown.

When troopers attempted to pull the suspects over, Palmieri failed to stop, according to police.

The teens continued to drive south onto the Adirondack Northway from exit 30, and traveled into the Town of Schroon.

Palmieri attempted to avoid a spike strip swerving off the east shoulder into the median. The van struck an embankment, “became disabled” and the teens were taken into custody, without further incident, police said.

Palmieri and Russell were arraigned in the Town of Wilmington Court and remanded to the Essex County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bond.

WORK BEGINS TO CONVERT TRAFFIC LIGHT Four-way stop coming to intersection

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | Work is now underway to convert the blinking traffic light at the intersection of Route 9 and Water Street in Elizabethtown to a four-way stop.

“The project is moving forward and we are in the

process of obtaining the necessary equipment for this intersection,” said Bryan Viggiani, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.

Crews began preliminary work last week.

“We expect everything to be in place for motorists and pedestrians by spring,” Viggiani said. » Intersection Cont. on pg. 4

The intersection of Routes 9 and 9N and Water Street in Elizabethtown will be converted to require traffic to stop in all four directions.

Zonta Club ups support pace with Chili Run at Heaven Hill Benefit will supply duffel bags for women fleeing violence at home

LAKE PLACID | Beautiful autumn forest trails at Heaven Hill will come alive next Saturday with paces and steps taken to end domestic violence.

Zonta Club of the Adirondacks is hosting its second annual Chili Run. Fun and festive, it also bears witness to the need and struggle of women fleeing violence at home.

“It is clear to me after 23 years of work

in family and criminal courts with families who are plagued by domestic violence that fleeing a domestically violent situation is about far more than just physically leaving a dwelling place,” Zonta Club President Amy Quinn, an attorney from Lake Placid, told The Sun. “To leave with nothing but the clothes on your back means starting over with basics that many of us take for granted every day: a clean wash cloth and towel, a hair brush, tampons, deodorant. When you are scraping together funds for rent, a security deposit, utilities, used furniture and more, these basics can make a big difference.”

The Chili Run raises funds with every registration and every donation to create travel bags filled with necessary items for women forced to leave and abuser. » Zonta Cont. on pg. 9

Returned to owner: Century-old piece

Historic cartoon by famous artist is Kurtz treasure from Windsor days

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | A powerful old cartoon circa 1900 returned early this year to its owners.

It has been in Elizabethtown for decades and never traveled far, but its arrival here generations ago remains something of an unknown.

Al and Annabelle Kurtz obtained the historic Homer C. Davenport illustration upon taking reins at the Windsor Hotel over 50 years ago.

For over half a century even then, the Windsor had served host and summer home to many well-heeled New York City residents seeking refuge in the cool shade of Adirondack forests.

The black-and-white cartoon looks to be a work in ink on paper. It has one balding character marked “Ice Trust,” drawn with bristling eyebrows and mutton chops, a popular caricature of greed at the time.

The other glaring character, labeled “Coal Trust,” has a gleaming gem affi xed to his shirt, a hallmark caricature of greed in early political cartoons.

Former Windsor Hotel owner Guy Davenport might have been a distant relative of Homer Davenport, but that is not clear.

ABOUT HOMER C. DAVENPORT

The Oregon Historical Society also chronicled the rise of their prominent native son, Homer C. Davenport.

“Davenport was part of (William Randolph) Hearst’s team that took control of the New York Journal in 1895, launching the so-called Yellow Journalism Wars, a competition among New York City daily newspapers who tried to outdo each other with increasingly sensational news and illustrations,” the Historical Society outlines in the Oregon Encyclopedia.

“During the 1896 presidential campaign, (Davenport) focused on William McKinley’s wealthy industrialist campaign manager, Marcus Hanna, whom he depicted as a hulking brute wearing ‘plutocratic plaid’ with a tiny dollar mark in each square. A year later, Davenport’s work inspired a failed Anti-Cartoon Bill in the New York State Assembly.” ■

Homer Davenport was a very famous turnof-the-century political cartoonist, who came from a long family heritage in Oregon.

Guy Davenport’s family were well-respected farmers for many generations from Accord, New York.

Mr. Kurtz wasn’t sure how the illustration arrived in Elizabethtown or in what era.

“It came with the hotel,” Mr. Kurtz smiled.

He and Mrs. Kurtz were reunited with their artwork after Alta Jo “AJ” Longware located it among her mother Gretna Longware’s historic World War I poster collection.

AJ was pulling together posters for the

World War I exhibit at the Adirondack History Museum.

“It was stored with my mom’s World War I posters,” AJ said of the find.

A small tag, apparently typewritten by AJ’s mother Gretna Longware and pasted on the frame, indicates the original cartoon was “On loan from Al Kurtz.”

“I gave it back to Al,” AJ said. » Returned Cont. on pg. 3

of political satire remains relevant » Returned Cont. from pg. 2

The cartoon points to a rather turbulent time in American politics and policy, through the stark fraudulence of Tammany Hall as President William McKinley rose through the ranks of “dark” monies with promises to enact protectionist tariffs on foreign trade.

“It’s amazing how relevant the cartoon is today,” AJ said.

The poster-sized original illustration is a unique Davenport.

There are faded handwritten notes on the top and Davenport’s striking signature lower left.

Historian Gus Frederick in Silverton, Oregon established The Davenport Project dedicated to research on Homer Davenport’s family, life, work, style and interests.

Asked for expertise to help date the The edge of the Davenport cartoon frame with notation from Gretna Longware.

cartoon and identify its characters, Mr. Frederick said he had not previously seen this particular illustration.

“The ‘Trusts’ appear to be generic plutocrats, so they probably don’t represent real people, but rather their respective industries,” Frederick told The Sun via email having seen images of the Kurtz’s cartoon.

Providing further context, Frederick said Davenport did a series of “Ice Trust” related illustrations that were included in a book of Davenport cartoons titled ‘The Dollar or the Man? The Issue of To Day’ (Published in 1900 by: Boston — Small, Maynard & Company).

Anabelle and Al Kurtz at their residence with the illustration by famed political cartoonist Homer C. Davenport. The historic cartoon was among items retained with their purchase of the Windsor Hotel.

“However, the ‘Ice Trust’ represented (in the book) is Davenport’s ‘Trust Brute’ that he used interchangeably between the different trusts (Coal, Steel, Ice, etc.) but not as ‘politicians’ (lobbyists?) in that series,” Frederick said.

“The timing would have been in spring/ summer of 1900, as Hearst’s New York Journal, where Davenport worked, launched a campaign against the ‘Ice Trusts of NYC,’ which had apparently doubled the cost of ice in the city in a single year, impacting mainly the poor.”

Frederick provided The Sun with a copy of an historic article from the New York Times dated May 18, 1900, providing context of the Ice Trust controversy.

People relied entirely on ice to preserve foodstuff and to cool their drinks in summer and doubling the price was a hardship for many.

“So I would suspect the timing would be similar to this article,” Frederick said.

Frederick’s extensive research on Homer C. Davenport is collected online: davenport.

liberaluniversity.org He also maintains a very active Facebook page: The Davenport Project.

One interesting side note about Homer Davenport was his affinity for collecting and breeding Arabian horses. He found them via travel to Syria and other Middle Eastern regions. President Theodore Roosevelt helped facilitate such a trip by Davenport to Turkey.

On The Davenport Facebook page, Frederick shared a little known fact about Davenport’s horses: “The great equine actor Bamboo Harvester, also known as ‘Mr. Ed’ (of television fame) was a direct descendant of Wadduda, the first Arabian mare gifted to Homer Davenport by Sheikh Ahmet Hafiz of Aleppo, Syria in 1906.” ■

The intersection has low visibility for westbound-motorists on River Street, and the DOT believes the proposed modifi-

Domestic incident leads to arrest

LAKE PLACID | The Lake Placid Police Department arrested a Lake Placid woman earlier this month for alleged property damage.

Christine M. Cahill, 29, was arrested Sept.

15 following a police investigation into a domestic incident. Investigation showed that the defendant damaged or broke property that did not belong to her. She also violated an order of protection.

Cahill was charged with criminal contempt in the first degree, a felony; two counts of criminal mischief in the third degree, a felony; criminal mischief in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor and harassment in the second degree, a violation.

Cahill was arraigned in village court and posted $2,000 bail. She is due back in village court at a later date. ■

Saranac Lake man arrested following an assault

SARANAC LAKE | The Lake Placid Police Department arrested a Saranac Lake man last week for an alleged assault.

Devin M. Colmenero, 25, was arrested Sept. 20 following the extensive investigation of an assault that occurred at a local park off Hillcrest Avenue on Sept. 16.

During an altercation, the victim sus-

cation will reduce collisions, noting a similar modification in Ticonderoga reduced right-angle-type collisions by 75 percent.

A teenage bicyclist collided with a vehicle at the intersection last fall. A family member subsequently circulated petitions in a successful appeal to the DOT for the modifications.

The state agency’s decision to convert the intersection in April generated counter concerns from local residents, who lobbied the state to consider other solutions.

The flashing red signals will also include reflective rear plates, “further enhancing their visibility in response to concerns about drivers not seeing or otherwise missing the signal to stop,” said the DOT in response to resident concerns. ■

tained several stab wounds and a slash wound and was subsequently transported to Adirondack Health in Saranac Lake where he was treated for his injuries. The victim was familiar with the defendant and this was not a random incident.

On Sept. 20 at 12:22 p.m. the defendant was taken into custody at his residence in Saranac Lake with the assistance of the Saranac Lake Police Department. A search warrant was also executed at that time for evidence relating to the crime.

The defendant was arraigned in village court and remanded to the Essex County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash or $200,000 bail bond. An order of protection was issued for the victim. ■

David A. Rock II, 40, was arrested Sept.

22, after deputies responded to the area of State Route 9N in Clintonville for report of a vehicle that was allegedly operating erratically in the area.

Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle on State Route 9N near Balsam Drive after observing the vehicle allegedly commit multiple traffic violations. The vehicle allegedly failed to comply with deputies’ lights and siren and continued east on Route 9N at a low rate of speed.

Deputies pursued the vehicle until it stopped in the driveway of a residence on Pleasant Street in Keeseville, following which, Rock was taken into custody.

It’s alleged that Rock was operating the vehicle while in an intoxicated condition and with two child passengers under the age of 15 in the vehicle. Rock was also allegedly found to have three prior convictions for DWI in the preceding 15 years.

Rock was charged with DWI with three prior convictions in previous 15 years, a class D felony; two counts of aggravated DWI, child under 15 in vehicle, a class E felony; aggravated unlicensed operation in the first degree, a class E felony; two counts endangering the welfare of a child; operate vehicle without an interlock device, a class A misdemeanor; fail to keep right; move from lane unsafely; failure to obey police officer; consumption of alcohol in motor vehicle; unlicensed operator; and refusal to take breath test.

Rock was processed at the sheriff ’s office and arraigned in Town of Peru Court.

Following arraignment, he was committed to Clinton County Correctional Facility without bail. He is set to reappear in court on a later date. ■

Lake Placid man arrested after a domestic incident

LAKE PLACID | Lake Placid Police arrested a Lake Placid man last week for an alleged domestic incident.

Caleb J. Seaman, 41, was arrested on an arrest warrant from village court following the investigation of domestic incidents where a court order of protection was violated.

Seaman was charged with three counts of criminal contempt in the second degree, a misdemeanor.

Seaman was arraigned in village court and remanded to the Essex County Jail on $5,000 cash or $10,000 bail bond. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

How far will we go to win?

We’ve watched the two-sided tug of war over Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual assault by

By Dan Alexander Supreme Court nominee • PUBLISHER • Brent Kavanaugh for two weeks now.

From what little is known, according to Dr. Ford, only three people knew what took place in that room: herself, Judge Kavanaugh and a friend, Mark Judge.

According to Judge Kavanaugh, the event never took place thirty-six years ago, and he is forced to defend a negative.

Those are the only facts we know going into this week’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Despite those few simple details, the political leaders of our country and mainstream media have the entire issue resolved depending on which side of the political spectrum you find yourself.

There appears to be so much bluster and trash talking going into the formal testimony that it would make one think it’s a sporting event comparable to the Super Bowl.

This entire affair speaks to how unhinged we’ve become as a country and how the two party system is driving the nation to paranoia.

Conjecture on what happened, nor anyone who takes sides, means absolutely nothing. For all the air, press time and water cooler talk this hearing has dominated over the past couple weeks until the hearing takes place, all that has been accomplished is the planting of false impressions.

The golden judicial rule in this country is, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It’s the paramount guiding vision of our entire judicial system.

Yet, many are ready to impeach Judge Kavanaugh or declare Dr. Ford a liar before the facts have been presented.

People’s lives and mental well being are callously being cast aside in favor of swaying public opinion before anyone knows what took place and who was involved.

Put yourself in either Dr. Ford’s or Judge Kavanaugh’s position. Both parties were teens, and now, in a few days, will go before the world to share how those events affected your life or how you can’t possibly imagine being accused of such an uncharacteristic act.

With so much at risk, the vast majority have already determined your guilt or innocence. How would you feel?

As a nation that prides itself on judicial tolerance and fairness, we’ve demonstrated how far off the rails we’ve allowed ourselves to go to influence a win.

And make no mistake about it, this is simply about winning or losing and the depth of how low either side will go. ■

Stefanik’s financial planning policy hearings ‘naive’

To the Editor: Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the article titled, “Stefanik casts net for millennial-related policy ideas at hearing” which appeared in the Sept. 22 edition of The Sun. I found The Sun’s article on Elise Stefanik’s committee’s work to help millennials make better long-range financial decisions.

While I think that long-range financial planning is important, I found the committee’s premises naïve.

Most of the millennials I talk to here in the North Country are already experts at financial planning, but their financial planning is done very carefully on a week-toweek month-to-month basis.

Their savings are usually short-range, for a special vacation or a new car. They rarely think about Social Security. Their long-range goal is usually to have the ability to provide their children with a college education.

Working parents (moms, dads and single parents) stretch their dollars to find child care, not just day care but for after school, weekends, overlapping schedules. Their cars need tires and maintenance, just as yours do.

They have rent or mortgage payments to meet. Some rely on second jobs. They skim the supermarket flyers for coupons and the weekly specials.

They worry about what impacts them now.

Health care, for one.

Does their insurance plan cover dental work? Does their doctor accept their cov-

erage? What can be done to bring primary care doctors to our rural area? Why should a veteran have to travel well over an hour for medical care?

As I said, long-range planning is important, but before most millennials can consider it, they have more important things to do.

Those are the hometown concerns that should drive a Congressperson’s agenda!

Failure to vote gives politicians free reign

To the Editor: Many of my friends and family members tell me that they are so discouraged by the current state of affairs in our country that they have stopped listening to the news and don’t intend to vote because they hate all politicians.

But think about this: If we stop paying attention to what’s happening, if we become apathetic, if we don’t vote, we give those politicians free reign to do as they please and to chip away at the liberties and freedom that are the very hallmark of our democracy.

We live in disturbing times, when many politicians are selling out to special interests, are afraid to face constituents and are unwilling to stand up to a president who is taking our country down a very dangerous path.

Unfortunately, Elise Stefanik is guilty of all of the above. 90 percent of her campaign contributions come from outside our district, which means that she is almost entirely beholden to special interests who have no stake in our district.

She rarely meets with constituents and then only in very controlled settings. And her

support for Trump and his dangerous policies is something that should concern all of us.

Campaign contributions might be able to buy votes in Congress, but in the end, it is our votes that will decide who represents us in Congress.

In 2016, nearly half of all eligible New York voters did not vote. In a democracy, the path to change is through the voice of the people.

Your vote can and will help shape the future of our country.

Public should support priests in time of crisis

To the Editor: Recent allegations have surfaced regarding Catholic clergy and their conduct involving the sexual abuse of children. Many of these allegations are decades old and basically he said/she said allegations with no corroboration.

Lately these allegations have increased, causing many to wonder if all priests are child sexual abusers. While there is no question that some of these allegations are factual and some have been covered up by the church hierarchy, these should be thoroughly investigated and where warranted, aggressively prosecuted.

That being said, it makes one wonder if some of these allegations are from the #MeToo folks jumping on the bandwagon, knowing the Catholic church has deep pockets.

I have been a practicing Catholic my whole life, and as an alter boy and the product of a Catholic school education, I had many interactions with numerous priests.

During my professional career of 45 years in the criminal justice system within the Diocese of Ogdensburg as a police officer and judge, I have never received a complaint or even heard a rumor of child sexual abuse by a priest.

By and large, our priests are well educated, sincere, devoted men of faith. They minister to thousands of people with little financial compensation or recognition. These dedicated men are going through very difficult times due to a few bad apples in their ranks.

It’s time we provide our moral and verbal support to these good men.

Sun’s Aug. 18 cover with Donald Trump — or a Democrat whose first priority is to the people of this district.

A Green candidate is also running and can be expected to win about 5 percent of the vote.

But this 5 percent could very well be the difference between taking the House away from Trump or giving him carte blanche to continue his regressive policies, policies which make enemies, while hurting our country and our planet.

Example: Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate accords leaves us with only Syria who do not want to ameliorate the devastating effects of climate change. I hope Green voters do the right thing to help tie Trump’s hands.

GOP no longer party of Green voters should unite my parent’s generation To the Editor: with Dems in November To the Editor: Whether you think of us as citizens of a nation or denizens of this planet Earth, our backs are to the wall in either case.

The current U.S. president is doing everything he can to degrade the environment, make the rich richer and the poor poorer, build up the military (already the strongest and most expensive on the planet) and discriminate against any minority that disagrees with his white supremacist views.

His Supreme Court nominees are an unmitigated disaster with their far-right agendas, and we may have to live with their decisions for many years into the future.

There is only one way to curb the president’s dangerous policies, and that is to reclaim the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The Valley News Sun | September 29, 2018 • 7

I was a lifelong Republican, most of us in the military are, although I’ve always voted for the person and not the party. I understand that there are good and bad people in all walks of life. I know that you can’t judge a book by its cover.

Something different in politics started happening after Citizen’s United. The laws being created were generating loopholes that helped corporations and “big money” donors.

Laws that hurt the people who paid their fair share in taxes faithfully. I’m not saying that corruption wasn’t happening on both sides of the aisle, because it has and does.

But I am saying that the level of corruption within the GOP was exponentially greater.

I have no problem with holding anyone accountable for corrupt and/or criminal behavior.

Over 80 percent of Rep. Stefanik’s campaign funding comes from out of district big money donors.

This unique appeal attracts people who desire fresh air, competition, and social engagement through our cold, dark winter.

The game is played on a deck about one-third the size of a tennis court and is surrounded by 12-foot fencing which allows play off the walls, as in racquetball. The base of the elevated court is enclosed, allowing for a heating system beneath.

The heaters melts ice off the deck surface, allowing athletes to play outdoors in all weather conditions. A lighting system allows play day or night.

A membership fee is required to cover the cost of maintenance, but fees are very reasonable, and it can be played all year. The season starts Oct. 1.

A single platform membership is $135, due by Nov. 1. After that date, the cost goes up to $160. The family rate applies to all members of a household and is $250. After Nov. 1, the family rate goes up to $300.

I can no longer pretend the GOP was the party of my parents’ generation. Their actions since Trump’s inauguration have shaken my patriotic heart to the core. There have been serious implications of corruption and criminal behavior. Meeting privately with Putin for over two hours and then refusing to call him out on proven Russian meddling.

Rep. Stefanik didn’t hesitate to block the subpoena for the Helsinki translator.

Why? Trump dropped out of the UN Human Rights Commission and the Paris climate agreement. The ongoing North Korea fiasco.

The pay to play at Trump owned properties.

The criminal indictments and guilty pleas.

Not one investigation opened.

Rep. Stefanik is complicit in allowing Trump to trample all over our Constitution and tell lie after verifiable lie.

She has not been the checks and balances.

She failed us.

That’s why this veteran changed her party to Democrat. They align more with my moral and patriotic values.

Vote no on merger

To the Editor: Our unique lakeside community with a blossoming Main Street and award winning, Westport Central School (WCS) is facing the potential loss of our community anchor, WCS. Students and families have viewed WCS as a gem; choosing the supportive, strong academic, student-centered environment that WCS provides.

Families establish their homes here based on our outstanding school success.

Is merging districts truly a beneficial step?

Ask yourself — why isn’t this movement

sweeping our state?

It is not!

Merging is unpopular and rare. Partly because the data demonstrates (consultants themselves stating) a merge should never be entered as a cost saving venture.

The signs proclaiming a merge will “stabilize taxation” are misleading propaganda.

The challenges in our district are not unique.

These concerns are the same for all public education. The youth population has declined.

Investment in public education has not been a priority for state leaders, this applies to all public schools in New York state.

Merging our school district with Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School (ELCS) would be a huge mistake.

You may think merging is a solution to the current dilemma, but it is merely a temporary “bandage,” once worn-out the WCS community will have gained nothing, other than abandoned properties.

Believing you will be saving monetarily, and the alleged addition of electives, will come at a tremendous expense; our local community school, where faculty know each child throughout their educational journey.

These critical factors impact the well-being, growth and development of our youth and community; our future!

Research the community trends— arrest rates, substance abuse reports and school discipline referrals, school attendance records, and the like, the differences are many. The cultures differ.

Th is small school that has appealed to so many for its rich values and educational strengths will be no more.

Westport residents will forever have great regret with a merger.

Vote no!

Guest viewpoint

Merger only solution to provide sustainable future for students shortfall. Of the options that have been proposed, the only option we believe viable is a merger.

• Voting no in the upcoming election is not a vote for the status quo, nor is it a vote for maintaining the past excellent educational reputation of the WCS. It is a vote for the deterioration and eventual demise of WCS. When asked what will happen when the school district goes into the red, we were told that there are several options: 1. We could continue as usual which would prompt the state to eventually come in to control educational decisions; 2. our high schoolers could be tuitioned out to other districts, or 3. the school day could be cut to the mandatory minimum so that children are released into the community at 1:30 p.m. and teachers are paid less than full-time salaries. Under any of these options, many of our excellent teachers will leave to go elsewhere, our “control” of our children’s education will be far less than had we merged and our children will suffer from the decisions we’ve made.

• On the positive side, the consultants’ report found that ELCS and WCS are more similar than they are different; the number of students and teachers are similar; the demographics are similar, test scores are similar, the buildings have equivalent need for improvement and so on. Best of all, by voting yes to a merger, the education of all our children will improve with more teachers, more class offerings, more extra-curricular activities, more diverse classrooms and more stability in future financing of education.

• Although our primary focus is on the education of our children, we can’t ignore the financial incentives that come with a merger. If our school districts

GUEST COLUMNISTS

We are a group of Westport Central School (WCS) district community members — parents, grandparents, alumni, business people, retired people and homeowners — who have been following the proposed merger process with Elizabethtown Central School District (ELCS) carefully, studying the consultants’ report, attending small group and school board meetings and generally trying to educate ourselves about what would happen for Westport students if a merger takes place and what would happen if a merger doesn’t take place.

Our children, grandchildren and neighbor children range in age from kindergarten through high school, and we all want the best for the WCS, the Town of Westport and our kids.

We have come to the conclusion that a merger with ELCS is the best and only solution if we want to provide an excellent education for our children and sustain a fiscally responsible school district that will educate our children into the future.

We would like to share with you why we feel the way we do, based on information we’ve learned from the consultants’ report and school district administration.

• In three years, the projected WCS budget will be operating in the red. In five years, the district will no longer be able to sustain itself. These projections are consistent with the information provided by the school district, but insolvency could move more quickly or more slowly depending on multiple variables. Staffing has already been cut to the minimum to meet state requirements. There are no other cuts possible that would reverse the significant budget

merge, the state will pay more than 90 percent of all improvements to our buildings for the next 10 years, whether that is by renovating existing buildings or building a new building (how to use that subsidy would be the decision of the new, merged school board). A merger would also give the new combined school district time to do responsible financial planning while the state subsidizes educational costs.

We have listed only a bare outline of the reasons why we believe a merger is not just the best way forward, it’s the only way forward.

As you are making your decision, we encourage you to check out the consultants’ report on the WCS website, attend the public forum at Westport Central School on Oct. 4 at 6 p.m., ask for a meeting with Principal/Interim Superintendent Josh Meyer or talk to any of us below.

We ask you to make your vote based on facts and on improving the quality of education for our children.

» Zonta Cont. from pg. 1

Amy Quinn, left, president of the Zonta Club of the Adirondacks, and Katelyn Dufrane, from STOP Domestic Violence in Westport, with 10 duffle bags loaded with personal items for women leaving violent homes.

The bags are presented to STOP Domestic Violence, the primary outreach organization that serves women and their children in Essex, Clinton and Franklin counties.

UPCOMING GALA:

IF YOU GO:

The 5K walk/run starts at 10 a.m. at Heaven Hill trailhead, but registration opens at 9 a.m. at the farmhouse, or can be completed ahead online.

Registration is open for teams, families, kids and individual runners/walkers.

Pre-register online at bit.ly/2MMCbZ4 Run registration: On or before September 28, race registration is $20 per adult, $10 for children under 18, and $30 per family or sports team.

Race day registration is $25 per adult, $15 for children under 18, and $40 per family or sports team.

Heaven Hill Trails are located close to farm, off Bear Cub Lane, and wind mostly flat terrain through scenic forestland beside the farm.

After completing the course, participants are invited to have refreshments and a bowl of either vegetarian or meat chili prepared by Desperados Restaurant at the post-race social.

Harmony Hill Farm is providing meat for the event and Fledging Crow Farm is supplying vegetables used for the chili. Berkshire Farm Center and Services for Youth is also sponsoring the event with a generous cash donation. ■ “Everyone deserves the basic dignity of personal care, especially at a time when anxiety is high,” Quinn said.

“We are so happy to offer these bags for distribution to women in need, and we know that every little piece of the puzzle leads to a greater chance that a survivor of domestic violence and her family can really make a fresh start, instead of returning to the abuser out of financial desperation and becoming a tragic statistic. We are also so pleased that we can also offer these items in new, sturdy duffle bags, which will serve as a useful piece of luggage at a time when some might otherwise be forced to gather their belongings in trash bags.”

The duffle bags are placed in “safe housing” provided by STOP Domestic Violence and other groups that work with the STOP DV program.

“Last year the Club raised enough money

AUTUMN A LA CARTE

The next Zonta Club major event is the Autumn a la Carte, slated this year for Nov. 8 at Heaven Hill Farm.

Autumn a la Carte brings together wonderful chefs, artisans, craftspeople, area businesses and many in community in a gathering of fine food, music, amazing auction items and other surprises.

Find out more about Zonta on their Facebook page: facebook.com/Zonta-Club-of-the-Adirondacks-1655519578086630/ ■ with the Chili 5K to purchase 10 duffel bags filled with essentials, which were donated to STOP DV,” Quinn said.

“This supply of bags was exhausted in a matter of weeks to displaced domestic violence survivors throughout Essex and Clinton counties.” ■

WHAT DOES ZONTA DO? The Zonta Club of the Adirondacks is just one year old and has reached an incredible first year mark of helping women and girls locally and around the world.

The local chapter is part of an international service club started in 1919 whose mission is to raise the status of women everywhere, with over 30,000 members in 65 countries.

What has Zonta Club of the Adirondacks accomplished in its first year?

• The September 2017 Chili 5K Fun Run/ Walk at Heaven Hill Farm in Lake Placid raised over $1,800 which allowed to fund the donation of 10 duffle bags and 7 tote bags to STOP Domestic Violence in Westport, a NYS certified program assisting victims of domestic violence; • The club also received support from the Olympic Regional Development Authority for its #16Days of Advocacy project when the Olympic Center marquis in Lake Placid was ablaze with the orange logo reading “Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women” between November 25 and December 10; • In early 2018, the club sponsored a successful “Mardi Bra” event to collect feminine supplies and women’s under-

garments for distribution in local food pantries and human service agencies; • In the winter of 2018, five members of the Zonta Club of the Adirondacks participated in meetings and events connected with the 62nd Annual Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) event in March 2017, held at the UN in New York City and attended by women from around the globe. Exciting! Inspiring!

• On March 8, International Women’s Day, the club honored 12 local women with at its first annual R.O.S.E. (Recognition of Service and Excellence) Award Coffee Hour. The women chosen represent very the best in Adirondack women—in areas from advocacy and youth empowerment to health care and the arts, and beyond.

• Also in March, Zonta of the Adirondacks made a meaningful gift of $2,000 to the Zonta International Foundation, which supports the international work that Zonta does with its partners like UNICEF and UN Women. The projects it will support in this cycle include ending child marriage in Niger, ending human trafficking in Nepal, and treating obstetric fistula, a socially and physically debilitating child birth injury, in Liberia.

MEDICARE PLANS CONFUSING? YOU’RE NOT ALONE...

• In May, the club donated $2,000 to Creative Healing Connections so that five female veterans could attend a specialized Arts and Healing Retreat on Lake George to help their reintegration into civilian life after serving our nation in the armed forces.

• Zonta turned out as a group of over 30 to assist in Lake Placid Village Clean-Up Day. • This spring, Zonta announced some book awards to acknowledge and honor fantastic women with big plans to make a difference through their course of study in college and grad school.

• Zonta even screened a movie: RBG, the hot new film about esteemed Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg played to a full house at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts in mid-June, complete with a pop-up boutique of fun RBG swag!

• The Amazing Adirondack Race this summer drew 70 racers, 18 teams, 12 pit stops and 12 unique clues for physical or mental challenges: a whole bunch of fun and a big boost for our brand new scholarship fund.

• Ready for 2019: Zonta Club of the Adirondacks is planning for a busy, exciting slate of events and outreach next year. ■

County moves to implement sexual harassment policy New law applies to all employers in New York state

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The #MeToo movement sweeping the nation has landed in Essex County, where all county employees must now undergo sexual harassment training.

The new state Department of Labor law requires the training be interactive and repeated annually.

Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said county administrators are considering using online resources as a component.

The new law takes effect Oct. 9.

Palmer said the county is well-positioned to adapt.

“The (state-provided) sexual harassment policy is not a lot different from what Essex County has in place,” Palmer said.

The state legislature approved the legislation earlier this spring with support from state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury).

Every county, city, town, village, school district, or other public entity would be required to develop a sexual harassment prevention policy that applies to all employees and which includes investigation procedures and a standard complaint form, according to a news release from the Senate Majority.

“Each complaint would be confidential and the policy must include the prevention of intimidation, retaliation, or coercion to help protect the complainant. The measure also standardizes the process for state government.”

The state provided a model for policy guidance in August along with a sample com-

plaint form and related documents.

The new law applies across the board equally to all municipalities, such as towns, villages, schools, as well as to private employers.

NY.GOV INFO FAQ

By what date do all of my employees need to be trained?

All employees must complete the model training or a comparable training that meets the minimum standards

by Jan. 1, 2019.

How often must employees receive sexual harassment training?

Employees must be trained at least once per year. In subsequent years, this may be based on the calendar year, anniversary of each employee’s start date or any other date the employer chooses.

What about new employees or those who start after January 1?

All employees must complete sexual harassment training within 30 calendar days of starting their job.

What if an employee only works part-time?

Employers are required to ensure that all employees receive training.

By Jan. 1, 2019, employers must provide sexual harassment training to all employees located in New York State.

The New York State Bar Association has a comprehensive report about the new laws and how they impact attorneys: nysba.org/Section/Municipal_Lawyer/ New_Legislation_on_Sexual_Harassment_Will_Significantly_Affect_ the_Handling_of_These_Cases_ for_Municipalities. ■

Supervisors take a break between meetings on Monday.

Palmer told county lawmakers at the Personnel Committee meeting on Monday that he is in the process of preparing similar sexual harassment policy and documents for all 18 towns in Essex County.

LAW IMPACTS COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS

The new sexual harassment law also applies to any company, even those outside of New York state, that seek work on municipal projects through a competitive bidding process.

Which means Essex County bids, Palmer said, “will have to ask if private employer has sexual harassment policy in place and if they do annual training.”

Palmer said the county would notify everyone on the current bid list of the new

legal requirement.

Lewis Supervisor Jim Monty asked what happens if a company bidding for work from Essex County does not have sexual harassment policy in place.

“Then that’s a deal-breaker for them?”

Monty inquired.

It is, under the new law, Palmer said.

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow reframed the same question.

“So we go out for bids...and the lowest bidder doesn’t have a sexual harassment (policy)... we can’t use them?” he asked.

Affi rmed again, Morrow said the new legal requirement is “ridiculous.”

The deadline for completion of sexual harassment training is Jan. 1, 2019. ■

Kahn outlines ‘roadmap’ for renewable energy Green Party candidate envisions green corridor

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | The use of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels is catching on in Europe, where two dozen nations last week pledged to boost research funding into the technology.

Hydrogen fuel cells combine the element with oxygen to produce electricity, heat and water.

Advocates believe converting to hydrogen-based power can mitigate the fluctuating supplies of wind, solar, hydro and other renewable energies.

“By converting electricity generated from those sources into hydrogen, the energy can be stored in large tanks and released again when needed,” reported the Associated Press.

GREEN CORRIDOR

Dr. Lynn Kahn, the Green Party candidate for New York’s 21st Congressional District, believes the North Country is well-poised to capitalize on the technology and develop a green energy corridor along the St. Lawrence River.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pledged 50 percent of the state’s power supply will be derived from renewables by 2030.

But Kahn believes the U.S. is lagging in the transition to a green economy.

For the last month, she’s been traveling to Massena to promote the “research, development and manufacturing” of renewable energy and hydrogen fuel production

along the St. Lawrence River.

“It’s an enormous market,” said Kahn.

Hydrogen fuel is gaining traction when it comes to transport, said Kahn, noting Hyundai recently signed a deal to sell 1,000 hydrogen-powered trucks in Switzerland.

The world’s first hydrogen-powered train also recently went into service in Germany.

“The use of hydrogen-fueled vehicles is not looked at seriously,” Kahn said. “The fossil fuel industry owns politicians the Republican and Democratic parties.”

Kahn said she’s met with local stakeholders to discuss her ideas, including RACER Trust, owners of the former General Motors Power site in Massena.

“I think the North Country has the potential to lead in the manufacturing of the next generation of energy, and this time to do with responsibility,” she said.

Kahn aims to hold sessions on university campuses this fall to discuss her renewable “roadmap,” which also includes inserting climate change responsibilities in the mission of all agencies and divesting public funds from fossil fuels.

‘ALL OF THE ABOVE’

Kahn is running against Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) and Democratic candidate Tedra Cobb in November.

Stefanik has said she supports an “all of the above” approach to energy, including the use of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels.

The lawmaker received pushback last week in Ballston Spa while addressing the Upstate Conservative Coalition, a tea party group, for her stance on renewables.

“Some disagree with my stance,” Stefanik told The Sun. “I do support renewable energy.

County Floors FAMILY OWNED

FOR OVER

Green Party candidate Lynn Kahn believes the North Country is well-poised to capitalize on hydrogen fuel technology.

I support all of the above. I think solar and wind, in particular, in this district have been growth opportunities.”

The lawmaker said she has advocated for solar and wind tax credits, and wind has the potential to be a major driver in Franklin, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.

“People aren’t going to agree with everything, but I have an independent record when it comes to environmental and renewable, and I’m also fighting for biomass and hydropower,” Stefanik said. “I think those are growth opportunities for the North Country in the future.”

Stefanik, a member of the Climate Change Caucus, has broken with President Donald Trump on the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Accord, calling the decision to leave agreement to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions a “mistake.”

The lawmaker also lobbied against a 2016 amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would have limited the ability of the Department of Defense to use

Cobb said she’s “big believer” in renewable energy and said she can pair that with real-world experience.

Her husband runs a small solar installation business. The family has an electric car and lived off the grid for 11 years.

All renewable energy sources must be studied to explore which technologies will prove to be most effective for which uses, said the candidate.

“Governments and private companies will have to work together to do this,” Cobb said in an email. “Right now, it appears that both batteries and hydrogen fuel cells will have a role in future transportation. While each has different advantages, the larger question is likely to be how fast we can get away from coal and other fossil fuels to generate power.”

Cobb agrees with her opponents that renewables can help transform the U.S. economy, including in the North Country.

The entire U.S. coal industry has fewer jobs than Arby’s, said the candidate, referring to a 2017 Washington Post article.

“By contrast, solar power employs more people than coal, gas and oil power generation combined,” Cobb said.

Job opportunities in the North Country include home installations to solar farms, wind turbines and revitalizing our grid, said Cobb. ■

FallHOME IMPROVEMENT Make the most of your home improvement dollars

H

ome improvement projects provide homeowners with a chance to put their own stamp on their homes. In addition, many such projects make homes safer and, in some instances, more ecofriendly.

The opportunity to make a home more comfortable, safer and/or more eco-friendly entices many homeowners to open their wallets. In fact, the Home Improvement Research Institute estimates that the home improvement products market will grow by more than 5 percent in 2018.

Homeowners might experience some sticker shock when researching home improvement projects or receiving estimates from contractors. But there

are ways for budget-conscious homeowners to transform their homes and still make the most of their home improvement dollars.

• DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Each year, Remodeling magazine publishes its “Cost vs. Value Report,” a comprehensive study of 21 popular remodeling projects in 149 United States markets. The report notes the value each project retains at resale in 100 markets across the country. Homeowners who want to get the strongest return on investment can access the “Cost vs.

Value Report” (www.remodeling.how. net) to see which home improvement projects are best suited for them.

• DO SOME OF THE LABOR YOURSELF. Homeowners willing

Budgetconscious homeowners can employ various strategies to make the most of their home improvement dollars without sacrificing quality.

their own with little consultation from professional contractors. Some contractors may not offer consulting services, however. The consultation route, which typically requires paying licensed contractors hourly fees to offer guidance, should only be considered by homeowners with legitimate DIY skills, for whom this option can be a great way to save money.

to swing a hammer also can stretch their home improvement dollars.

For example, the home improvement resource This Old House® notes that homeowners willing to do their own demolition before the contractors arrive can save substantial amounts of money. A professional contractor may charge $1,000 to demo a 200-squarefoot deck, but This Old House estimates that homeowners who demo their own decks may spend only $450 (for the dumpster rental and parking permit).

• SCHEDULE RENOVATIONS DURING HOMEOWNER-FRIENDLY TIMES OF YEAR. Summer and fall tend to be contractors’ busy seasons, and homeowners will likely pay more for projects during this time of year. If possible, delay starting projects until right after the new year, when contractors aren’t so busy and might be more flexible with pricing. ■

• HIRE A CONSULTANT. The DIY movement is incredibly popular, no doubt thanks to television channels such as HGTV and the DIY Network.

Upgrade your tool collection for fall home projects

The Valley News Sun | September 29, 2018 • 13

A DIYer uses a Kreg Cabinet Hardware Jig on a cabinet door project.

When the last cookout is history and it’s time to move indoors and on to fall home and shop projects, Woodcraft suggests that you consider adding some new tools to your collection for easier home improvements and repairs.

“Kreg Hardware Installation Solutions make it easy to add the perfect final touch to your projects by allowing you to confidently install knobs and pulls, concealed door hinges, drawer slides, and adjustable shelves,” Woodcraft senior product development manager Peter Collins said.

“These durable, adjustable jigs position your hardware and guide your drill so you get accurate, repeatable, professional-quality results every time. These jigs are an essential part of the Kreg ‘Kitchen Makeover Series’ that provides a helpinghand for those folks that aren’t building new but rather changing hardware and paint colors.”

Sanding is a necessary part of many home and shop projects. For hand-sanding, the Preppin Weapon is an ergonomically-shaped ABS plastic sanding block that fits comfortably in your hand to reduce fatigue. Use wet or dry and load as many as four sheets of sandpaper at one time, removing each one as the abrasive wears out. For power sanding, the Norton 5” Random Orbital Sander features a 2.0-amp motor that generates 12,500 orbits per minute and provides a 3⁄32” orbit that helps make quick work of most sanding projects. Ergonomic, rubber palm grip is comfortable and eliminates fatigue. An 8-hole, hookand-loop pad face offers increased versatility in abrasive selection.

For cutting, grinding, sanding, carving and polishing, the Dremel 3000 Rotary Tool with 24 accessories is a good choice. The upgraded tool features an EZ Twist™ nose cap with an integrated

wrench that allows the nose cap to function as a wrench to tighten accessories. A more efficient fan design and side vents for a cooler running tool make it comfortable for extended use.

Once a project reaches the finishing stage, the new HOMERIGHT Finish Max Fine Finish HVLP Sprayer is a good choice for application. The Finish Max will handle any solvent- or water-based product — latex paint, milk paint, chalk paint, furniture paint, stains and finishes. It is easy to set up, use and clean. Features include precision volume control and an

adjustable spray pattern.

HOMERIGHT Small Spray Shelter and Large Spray Shelter will help contain overspray and drift when using the sprayer.

Brighten your workspace with the lightweight, portable Keystone 1200 Lumen Work Light that can be set nearly anywhere the 6’ cord will reach. Light can pivot 360° around its axis.

Installation of hardware, shelving, cabinets, doors and windows and many building projects require a driver, like the Bosch PS31-2A 12V Max 3⁄8” Drill Driver that comes in a kit.

Conservation Conversations

Buy local this harvest season The colors of fall are coming soon, believe it or not. The orange of pumpkins, the yellows of squash, the greens of

By Rich Redman spinach and beans, the • COLUMNIST • purples of grapes, the reds of apples, along with the cream color of milk and cheeses. Yes, we are blessed with a bounty of local foods. Even the leaves will color up soon!

Farmers are producing more foods locally than ever before. Farmers markets and farm stands are growing in every town. We also have the food co-op in Ticonderoga.

When you go to the store, did you ever think about where the products come from? Cheap goods are lining the shelves in most stores, most of it made from outside the United States. It’s one thing to get a cheap shirt or pants, but we really need to draw the line on how much food we purchase from other countries.

I personally don’t want my food to be imported from a country that doesn’t have the same environmental laws to protect us from the use of restricted or even banned pesticides, or poor laws that don’t protect water quality or the cleanliness of the foods.

Even in this country we have had outbreaks from contaminated spinach and other foods. It happens! Buying as much of your food locally is much better. Shipping spinach from California to New York is very costly and simply foolish. Fresh local foods are healthier than food that loses it nutritional value when stored long periods. We can produce much of our food here in New York.

New York has the climate and soils to produce much of our food, if we want.

Grass pasture supplies forage for grass-

fed beef, chickens and hogs if you prefer.

Our farm fields are cared for by the best farmers in the world. I know, because I have worked with them. Corn, soybeans, alfalfa, wheat, rye, hops and a multitude of other vegetables, grains and fruits abound in this state.

We have beef and dairy farms for meat and dairy products. We raise hogs for bacon and hams. We have chickens for eggs and fried chicken dinners with taters and gravy. Even the chicken manure which is composted is available locally to be recycled on farm fields for the next generation of foods to be grown.

We have vineyards for grapes to make jellies, jams and wines. We have orchards loaded with apples, peaches, plums, cherries and other fruits in New York. We have it all. We just need to market it and for our citizens to purchase it locally.

Did you know that most of the milk produced in Essex County, is shipped to the Agri-Mark plant? Agri-Mark milk is used in Cabot and McCadam cheese. So only buy those brands if you want to support our local Essex county dairy farmers!

If we don’t support our local dairy farms, we will lose them! Milk is big business, Walmart has its own plant, Dean Foods controls much of the milk market, but not Agri-Mark. Agri-Mark is local farmer owned.

Stewart’s stores buy milk from thirty plus local farms in the Saratoga area; New York farms only. So, support the industry that supports local farms, buy local foods at farm stands and markets and food co-ops as much as possible.

Milk sales are down. Why you ask?

Because, there are numerous possibilities

available at the local market. From fruit and berry drinks, teas of all sorts, fake milk like almond milk, sports drinks of all kinds and every other drink including bottled water of every kind. If you want something from the farm, try chocolate milk or regular milk. Pure grape or orange juice at least comes from orchards and not from some chemical concoction lab like many other drinks available.

For a real vacation, take a road trip around the state and see what we have to offer. From western New York’s peaches, plums, pears, grapes and apples, to the southern tier’s grass-fed beef and dairies, to the Hudson Valley apples and northward to the Champlain Valley grassy pastures, dairy farms, orchards, vineyards and high tunnel greenhouses, we have it all here. Make sure you take

a pickup or a big old American made station wagon, with plenty of room, because you will want to load up on the bounties of New York State.

Coming from western New York, I know what we have to offer. I have run the roads of this state from the Hudson River Valley, to the Chautauqua County area where Concord grapes are grown.

When my wife and I travel, we carry a cooler for sausages, limburger cheese and meats, like liver sausage as well as filling the back seat and trunk with boxes of goodies, (peaches, pears, Concord grapes, etc.), every time we go to visit family.

As consumers, you have the power in your wallet. Support your local farmers before it’s too late. ■

Mirror Lake Inn receives USA Today distinction The four diamond Lake Placid property finished second in the nation among waterfront resorts

LAKE PLACID | Earlier this summer, the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in Lake Placid was notified by travel editors from USA Today that it is one of the 20 best waterfront properties in the country. From the initial editor’s list, a reader’s poll would determine the USA Today “10Best” in that category.

Thanks to strong support from its guests and followers, the only AAA Four Diamond lodging and dining com-

bination in the Adirondacks collected a silver medal among the national paper’s “10Best” waterfront resorts in the USA. “This is the kind of accolade that speaks volumes about our setting, our presentation and the level of service we offer,” said Mirror Lake Inn owner Ed Weibrecht.

“To come out of the voting at the very top among all those outstanding properties, is another noteworthy achievement for us.

Soccer teams set for second half

By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Northern Soccer League has seen its share of close games as teams have tried to position themselves for a second half run this season.

In Division I boy’s soccer, it appears the season may again come down to the defending Class B champion Peru and Plattsburgh High, as the two teams played to a draw in the first meeting this season at PHS and will meet again Sept.

27 in Peru. Francis Kneussle and Noah Lederman help lead the Indians attack, with Andrew Follmer being the top point scorer for the Hornets.

“We have been able to improve on solidifying the defensive unit through practice and game experience,” said Peru coach Matt Armstrong. “Our goal is adding possessive components to our offensive attack in hopes to put more balls in the net for the second half of the season.”

In Division II, the Chazy Eagles are the top-ranked team in Class D and have continued to roll through divisional opponents with Tristan Conners and Riley Hansen leading a balanced Eagles attack while Ben Norcross leads the section in shutout victories.

For coach Rob McAuliffe, the key has been building a team defense throughout the first half of the season.

“We have been improving on our defense with four new guys in the back and we have improved each game as a group,” he said. “We will continue to improve on that, and we need to focus on playing well for a complete 80 minutes.”

Zach Spaulding and Noah Peters lead a Crown Point team in Division III play, while Schroon Lake’s Andrew Pelkey has been the third leading scorer in the section behind Saranac’s Cameron Duffield and Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport’s Blake Liberi.

GIRL’S

In Division I, the Beekmantown Lady Eagles and

Willsboro’s Jenna Ford leads Section VII in goal scoring for the season as the Lady Warriors currently are in the mix for a Division III title with two games remaining against league leader Crown Point.

Photo by Jill Lobdell Saranac Lady Chiefs drew in their first meeting this season, defeating all other opponents as the head to a scheduled Sept. 26 meeting in Saranac.

“Our biggest improvement over the season has been our team chemistry,” said Chiefs coach Mary LoTemplio. “We need to work on playing our best from the moment the game starts to the moment it ends We have had some inconsistency with our level of play and intensity. We continue to work on all aspects of our game with an eye on improving each and every area.

We realize this is a process and that it is critical to improve in order to maintain the level of success we wish to have.”

“We have had to shift a lot of players around in the first half of the season due to injuries,” said Beekmantown coach Peter Bursik “The players have excepted their roles and have made great adjustments. The second half we need to get healthy. Some of our key players will be back. We just need to keep improving.”

Beekmantown’s Avery Durgan and Saranac’s Nora Canning are atop the division in scoring, while Bailey Carter and Payton Couture are at the top of the shutout standings for goalies.

The Moriah Lady Vikings have been running away in the Division II standings as the defending Class D champions seek a high seed in the Class C playoffs this season. Coach Christina Slattery said the team was still working to improve on their midfield play and are being led by Juliette Baker’s 13 goals while Madison Olcott has added eight goals and eight assists on the season.

The Chazy Lady Eagles currently hold the inside track for the top spot in the Class D playoffs, having defeated fellow Division II foe Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport and Division III leader Crown Point. Kendra Becker and Catherine Langlois help to lead the team in points.

The Panthers have been unbeaten in Division III play so far, led by double-digit goal scorers Shawna McIntosh and Swade Potter. Keene has also had a strong season in their Division, with scoring from Alyssa Summo and strong play in net from Sophia Johnson.

“We have been working together with six freshman added to the roster,” said Crown Point coach Jayna Anderson said.

“Getting the younger players to communicate has been a challenge but we are getting better daily. We have also struggled with getting shots on net this year. Continued work with communication and passing and getting some finesse on our shots will be the key to success in the second half of the season.” ■

Sentinels jump out to early lead to defeat Red Storm SPORTS EDITOR

TICONDEROGA | Michael DuShane was able to deliver through the air and on the ground late as the Ticonderoga Sentinels picked up their first win of the season, 28-7, over the Saranac Lake Red Storm Sept. 21.

As part of a 22-point first quarter, DuShane scored on an eight yard rush and a 47 yard reception from quarterback Terrance Benedict, then helped anchor the team on the ground for 85 yards rushing.

“The line gave me some good holes and we were able to gain some yards,” DuShane said. “It was nice to get out here and score early and come away with the win.”

Benedict also scored on a three yard play in the first quarter and provided an insurance score on a seven yard touchdown completion

to Ty Schlogl. Schlogl also had a key interception for the Sentinels.

“It’s nice to get a win,” said Schlogl, who added 76 rushing yards while Benedict ran for 51 while throwing for 84 more, most coming when the team had the wind at their backs in the opening quarter.

“That was a big win for us,” said coach Scott Nephew. “We were able to get a big turnover in the first and we were able to keep the momentum rolling. We were able to control possession in the second half.”

For the Red Storm, Ryan Meyer sparked the lone score of the night with a 70-yard kickoff return followed by a 15 yards touchdown catch on the next play from quarterback Rhett Darrah.

Darrah finished with 66 passing yards on a night where the Red Storm was unable to get their running attack going against the Sentinel

PATRIOTS FALL

Matt Pray returned for AuSable Valley and ran for 127 yards, but it was not enough as Saranac scored a 27-6 win over the Patriots Sept. 21.

Luke Maye threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns on passes to Jake Nolan (6-135 yards), Isaac Garman (2-68 yards) and Connor Recore (3-55).

Nolan added a fourth score on the ground with a 16-yard score in leading the team with 46 rushing yards overall. Defensively, Nolan and Anthony LeBeau had interceptions.

For the Patriots, Evan Snow had 86 passing yards, 55 of the going to Luis Perez. Snow scored the lone touchdown for the Patriots on a one yard keeper. ■

Youthful Lady Griffins on the rise

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

WESTPORT | Starting a season with a team that features more eighth graders on the roster then seniors means it can be a building year for the program.

For the merged Elizabethown-Lewis/Westport Lady Griffins, that has been the case through the first half of the season, as the team competed in several close games, finally making their breakthrough against Ticonderoga Sept. 19 before scoring a key non-league win over Johnsburg the following day.

“They are coming together well,” said head coach Aubrey Pulsifer. “We are a young team, but there is some good talent and the team has worked hard over the first half of the year.”

While the team lost seven players from their sectional finalist team to graduation last season, the cupboard was not left completely bare. The team returns several players who started or played key minutes in 2017, including juniors Maggie Ploufe and Annette Stephens; sophomores Brianna Cornwright, Ella King, Analise Burdo, Sarah Chandler, LeAnna Costin and Skylar Bisselle; and freshman Rachel Storey.

The Griffi ns have added to the mix a pair of attacking eighth graders in Sydney Bisselle and Abbey Schwoebel, along with freshman goalie Madalyn Fuller. Kaeli Brack returned to soccer for her senior season and has been part of the mix.

“For being so young, it is nice to have the experience that we have,” Pulsifer said, adding the team is looking forward to the second half of the season after a first half

which saw the Griffins involved in one-goal contests against most of the competition in Division II of the Northern Soccer League other than division leader Moriah.

Meanwhile, the Griffin boy’s varsity team will also prepare for a matchup against the Eagles in Chazy Oct. 1. The Griffins have been the only team to score on the Eagles in a 2-1 loss at Camp Dudley earlier this season.

“I think we are getting to where we are Jeremy Rossi and the Griffin boy’ soccer team will playing the type of soccer we are capable face top ranked Chazy for the second time this of,” coach Evan George said. “The Chazy season Oct. 1. The Griffins are the only team to game was a huge lift for the boys, and we have scored against the Eagles so far this season. have been very competitive against the Photo by Keith Lobdell teams in Division II.” Along with a strong first game against the Class D Friday, Sept. 28, when they play top-ranked Chazy program, the Griffins have an host to Chazy at Camp Dudley.

unblemished record against Division III teams they have faced so far this season, which will be tested when they face Crown Point Oct. 6 in the Griffin Soccer Festival at ELCS. Junior Blake Liberi has been leading the division in scoring, with the second highest point total in the section. Jeremy Rossi, Hudson Stephens, Will Napper and Chris Jones also help anchor the team, while Brandon Tromblee has taken over for graduate Carter Smith in goal.

The Griffins boast a strong core of juniors.

Along with Liberi, the junior class includes Mckenzie Stephens, Matthew Pribble, Aiden DeMuro, Arlo Halloran and Lucas Spilling. ■

Counties work to put brakes on railway abandonment

By Pete DeMola and Kim Dedam EDITOR /STA FF REPORTER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County Board of Supervisors is continuing to oppose the state’s effort to declare a railway in the central Adirondacks abandoned — but are taking a lighter touch.

Lawmakers on Monday authorized sending the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) a letter, in effect replacing a formal resolution Essex County moved to adopt in committee a few weeks ago supporting the Town of Newcomb’s request to keep the railroad and its infrastructure viable for train traffic.

Newcomb Town Supervisor Robin DeLoria said several supervisors and town officials remain in conversation with DEC, encouraging the state agency to withdraw their request to the federal Surface Transportation Board to have the railway between North Creek and Tahawus declared abandoned.

Paul Mitchell, a mining materials processor who bought the National Lead property at Tahawus — where the track ends — is also filing opposition to DEC’s request.

Mitchell has said he wants to use rail to move waste rock from the site and repurpose it as a construction aggregate.

DeLoria asked Essex County Board of

Obituaries

Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston and Vice Chairman Shaun Gillilland to write the letter at their discretion, supporting business operations at the end of the line

WATCHING THE CLOCK

Several environmental groups have enthusiastically supported the abandonment effort.

DeLoria said green groups continue to bite away at the railroad infrastructure apple in the Adirondack Park.

“Eventually, the only thing we’re going to be holding is the stem,” DeLoria said.

The county board previously tabled its prior resolution written with language to reflect Newcomb’s request.

Gillilland said DEC is looking for leverage on other issues in negotiating status of the railroad, but declined to elaborate.

But he did say the county would try to give DEC some room to maneuver.

Local officials have indicated a desire to find the sweet spot between barring future storage of railcars and keeping the line open for other uses.

Gillilland confirmed a conference call between local officials and DEC last week.

Monday’s resolution allows the county time to safety wait and watch the clock, said Gillilland.

The final date to file comments with federal authorities is Oct. 23. Input can be filed electronically by noon that day.

A motion to prepare the letter was approved

by Essex County supervisors without dissent.

The apparent wait-and-see position also hinges on ongoing discussion in Warren County

State agencies have asked federal authorities to declare the railway between North Creek and Tahawus abandoned.

File photo where a railroad company, OmniTRAX, is preparing to purchase the debt ridden Saratoga-North Creek railroad operation.

The county is in the process of issuing an RFP for the sale of the property, Warren County Board of Supervisors Public Works Chairman Matt Simpson told The Sun last week.

Abandonment is not in the county’s best interest, he said.

“We don’t understand abandonment when Warren County is the operator of the railroad,”

Simpson told The Sun. “We lose options, and options are taken off the table with any action the state takes.”

County officials, said Simpson, are best suited to negotiate a plan to prohibit railcar storage on the tracks.

“We own the tracks — not the state of New York.” ■ — This story has been abridged for print.

» Award Cont. from pg. 15 “What stands out to me is the fact that, yes, we are fortunate to have this stunning location that overlooks Mirror Lake. But what our staff does to enhance that location with a beautiful floral presentation, meticulous care of the grounds and attention to guest service, is really impressive.”

The top vote-getter was Acqualina Resort and Spa near Miami Beach while Halekulani Hotel in Hawaii finished third.

This honor for the Mirror Lake Inn is added to the list of recent notable achievements the inn has accumulated including the AAA Four Diamond Award for 34 consecutive years in the lodging category and 11 years in a row for The View Restaurant.

The inn has also been awarded number one ski hotel east of the Rockies in USA Today “10Best” poll, Conde Nast Traveler’s number one resort in New York State for 2018, Wine Spectator “Best of ” Award of Excellence in a streak of 19 straight years, one of eight luxu-

The Mirror Lake Inn management was excited to know the “10Best” contest is promoted across USA Today Travel Media Group’s digital and mobile products as well as via social media. Nominees are also announced and/or promoted across relevant USA Today departments and through Gannett media

outlets, including the websites of its 81 local newspapers and 43 television stations.

“10Best” has four million monthly readers and is syndicated to readers across the USA Today Network.

“This kind of exposure is certainly good for the Mirror Lake Inn, and it draws attention to Lake Placid as a world class destination. We feel blessed and are thankful for the wonderful support we receive from our fans and followers,” said Weibrecht. ■
