Essex County supervisors: Goodbye horses County commences equine eviction of unstable stable

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — The cloppity-clop of hooves at the Essex County Fairgrounds may soon be a thing of the past — or at least a soundtrack that will only be heard during one week in August.

The board of supervisors formally voted to initiate eviction proceedings on Monday after

the long-term boarder of at least a half-dozen horses at the county-owned facility failed to settle his bill.

The non-payment has been a thorny issue for years now, said lawmakers.

Supervisor Randy Preston said he quit going to meetings to discuss the issue because it was all talk, no action.

“I heard the same thing year after year after year,” said Preston.

Feeding theÊ needy

Essex County Department of Public Works Superintendent Chris Garrow said the county is frequently on the hook for cleaning bills, including hauling away manure.

Lawmakers appeared to be outraged when the issue was first discussed at a committee meeting last month.

“So these are private people that are boarding their horses on the taxpayer’s dollar and we’re not only letting them board them, we are hauling manure away�” asked Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava. “Who’s allowing this to

Families First aims to provide 70 food baskets for needy families

ELIZABETHTOWN — As Thanksgiving loomed last year, dozens of families in Essex County peered into their cupboards and bank accounts and determined that they didn’t have the resources to give their families a proper holiday meal.

Pete Sixty-two of them went to Families First DeMola in Elizabethtown, where they picked up Editor baskets containing everything needed to put on a classic Thanksgiving spread: A frozen turkey, stuffing mix, canned vegetables, cranberry sauce, potatoes — even fresh vegetables from Essex Farm.

For the nonprofit organization, the annual donation drive is all about paying it forward.

“We love it when people come and get food baskets,” said Linda Snow-Perry, the staffer tasked with spearheading the collection drive that provides the items.

Local need is high: Essex County’s poverty level is 13 percent, while nearly 43 percent of public school students are eligible for free and reduced lunch programs.

This year, Families First aims to provide 70 baskets, which are assembled to feed a family of four.

happen�” “I guess we are,” said Supervisor Gerald Morrow.

County Manager Daniel Palmer said the original intent in the decision to board animals was to generate revenue to offset the cost of fairground operations.

“It’s hard to believe that you would have to evict a horse,” said Palmer, “but it’s the owners that you’re evicting.”

Supervisor Dan Connell, of Westport, said

Donors can drop off nonperishable items at the organization’s office on Water Street in Elizabethtown or at collection points around the county, including one manned by Adirondack Outreach, who plans on setting up a presence between Kinney Drugs and Tops Friendly Market on a pair of weekends this month.

“We don’t want to see hunger at all,” said Trent Faircloth, a ministry apprentice with the organization. “We want to give everyone a chance to congregate as a family and share a meal on Thanksgiving.”

Adirondack Outreach is the nonprofit arm of LIFE Church, also located on Water Street.

SARANAC LAKE — Groups working to preserve the historic Adirondack Rail corridor announced that a rally will be held Saturday, Nov. 7 at noon at the Saranac Lake Union Depot.

The state has proposed an amended Unit Management Plan calling for the conversion of the Rail Corridor between Tupper Lake and Lake Placid to a 34-mile recreational trail.

The Adirondack Park Agency meets Thursday, Nov. 12, and the future of the corridor is expected to be discussed there.

Rally attendees will pose for an aerial photo in order to show state officials widespread public interest in maintaining the rails and the use of the corridor by the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and the Rail Explorers. Organizers will read 34 reasons for retaining the rails, one for each of the 34 miles of track that the state proposes to rip up.

“This is a call to action to save our history and to save a small business and those that have developed around it. Removing the tracks is a permanent decision that will have an immediate negative impact on local businesses. We intend to show Gov. Cuomo and the state agencies that this corridor is vital to our state and local history as well as our local economy,” said Amy Catania of Historic Saranac Lake.

“The Adirondack Scenic Railroad carried 22,000 passengers this year alone between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake,” said Bethan Maher, Adirondack Scenic Railroad Executive

Birth to Three Alliance hires executive director LAKE PLACID — The Adirondack Birth to Three Alliance (BT3), a project of Adirondack Foundation, has hired Susan Mack as its executive director.

Mack comes to the area from Los Alamos, N.M., where she was executive director of Family Strengths Network since 2005.

“Having Susan at the helm is a big step forward for this brand-new alliance, which involves a host of community members, has high aspirations, and could change the trajectory of thousands of young Adirondack lives,” said Adirondack Foundation

President & CEO Cali Brooks.

“I’m excited to dedicate my years of experience to leading the BT3 program in its important work,” Mack said.

BT3 works under the premise that all babies deserve a great start in life. Research underscores the importance of the first 1,000 days of a child’s life: 80 percent of brain development occurs before age 3. By age 3, there is an enormous word gap between children from the wealthiest and poorest families, which leads to inequity before a child even gets to kindergarten. The first three years of a child’s life present the best opportunity to strengthen socialization and verbalization, the building blocks of school readiness.

Steering committee co-chair Jamie Basiliere, executive director of the Childcare Coordinating Council of the North Country, said, “We want to see all of today’s children become emotionally and physically healthy adults who are ready to navigate a changing world successfully.”

The BT3 Alliance formed last April when Adirondack Foundation convened 36 resource providers for children birth to three, and their families, in Clinton, Essex, and Franklin counties and the St. Regis Mohawk Nation. The program is expanding to include organizations that provide resources to the BT3 contingent, including county government, public schools, libraries, and doctors—in effect, everyone who touches the lives of young children. A steering committee has been meeting bi-weekly to establish structure and set strategic goals. BT3 has joined the North Country Thrive network, which aims to support people from cradle to career.

In 2014, prior to the formation of the BT3 Alliance, Adirondack Foundation and a group of generous funding partners commissioned two studies of early care in the region. In one, Ezra Schwartzberg of Adirondack Research and Cathy Kraft conducted a comprehensive inventory of resources currently available and found that a wide range of programs for children from birth to three and their parents exist, but there are gaps in service, unpredictable and fluctuating funding, and a lack of continuity across our region.

The BT3 Alliance will prepare children for school and life by improving and broadening access to high-quality resources by identifying and filling gaps in service, and working with existing organizations to support, improve and supplement their work, as well as to create additional resources in underserved communities.

Funding for BT3’s first two years is being provided by private donors. To encourage giving, the Cloudsplitter Foundation has offered a matching challenge of $150,000. For

Lakeside School preps for fifth fall fest

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ESSEX — Lakeside School at Black Kettle Farm is hosting its fifth annual Fall Festival and Open House in Essex on Saturday, Nov. 7. This free outreach event is a “friendraiser” designed to gather North Country families together to celebrate the season.

Many area farmers and artists will be in attendance: Reber Rock Farm will offer their local, organic products, as well as yogurt and cheese from North Country Creamery and canned goods made down at the Whallonsburgh Grange from Dak & Dill. Russ Bailey will be staying warm doing a blacksmithing demonstration; Becky and Jason Hance will be giving pony rides, while Michael Croghan will be playing guitar and doing a sing along for kids of all ages. In addition to the vendors and entertainment, there will also be kids games, face painting, cider pressing, snacks and a bonfire. New this year there will be the Trading Post –a wide selection of gently used kids clothing and outdoor gear available for sale.

Everyone is welcome, said Stites McDaniel, Lakeside parent and school board president.

“Even though our school has been here for eight years, there are still many local families who either don’t know we’re up here, or aren’t sure what we’re all about,” said McDaniel. “This is a great chance to come meet our teachers, peek inside Lakeside School, take a walk on the beautiful CATS trails around Black Kettle Farm, or just share a fun afternoon together.”

Black Kettle Farm is at the corner of Cook and Leaning Road in Essex. The fall festival is from 1-4pm, Saturday, Nov. 7. For more information call 962-7385, email admin@lakesideschoolinessex.org or visit lakesideschoolinessex.org Lakeside School’s Fall Festival is made possible in part by the Essex County Arts Council Cultural Assistance Program Grant supported by the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

Wild Center’s Wild Walk wins architectural award TUPPER LAKE — Wild Walk, the $5.5 million elevated outdoor unique structure that opened in July 2015 at The Wild Center and has seen over 100,000 visitors in two months, will be acknowledged for its innovative design and construction. Later this month, the Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) will recognize Wild Walk as an award-winning project in their Celebration of Architecture and Design Program during their annual conference in Miami.

Wild Walk takes visitors up a winding series of bridges and platforms from ground level to breathtaking treetop vistas and into the forest of the Adirondack Mountains that surround The Wild Center.

Charles P. Reay, Wild Walk’s designer, also designed the Center’s main building, the first LEED Silver-certified museum in New York State. Reay cut his teeth as a young architect working under Charles Eames on the IBM Pavilion at the 1964 New York World’s Fair and later as a senior vice-

president at HOK on the design of the National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC. “I wanted The Wild Center building to pay homage to the historic architecture of the area, so it grew out of that landscape and meets the Adirondacks in its own terms”, says Reay.

“It seemed very appropriate to me that Wild Walk would come out of wedding the structure, the art, or architecture or whatever you want to call it, and let it be an outgrowth of the forest. The idiom is the forest. It is not trying to build the forest and hide that we built something, but to let the tree forms be a statement of a simplified natural form. I wanted to take the Adirondack forest at its most essential forms.”

“It is such an honor to receive this award”, says Stephanie Ratcliffe, Executive Director of the Center. “Even though I had seen the project on paper, in models and on the construction site at every step along the 10 year development process I was still stunned when I walked up into the Eagle’s Nest for the first time. I looked back on the structure nestled

in our forest to see this beautiful sculpture integrating so beautifully with our surrounding forest.”

“The Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) is an organization of licensed architects whose mission is to unite architects in working towards the betterment of the profession”, says Ting Chin, one of the architects who worked on Wild Walk. “The jury for this award consisted of nationally renowned architects and scholars who selected Wild Walk for its design and construction excellence. Wild Walk is an exceptionally unique project and we are honored to have worked on it and to receive such a prestigious award from our peers.“ The architect of record for Wild Walk is New York-based studio Linearscape, the General Contractor is Northland Associates of Syracuse, NY and exhibit fabricators are PWF Enterprises of Syracuse and Cost of Wisconsin.

Wild Walk will stay open until Columbus Day and reopen on Memorial Day of 2016.

Clock now ticking for Port Henry village dissolution Transitional group aims to have first meeting before Thanksgiving

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — Last week’s vote to dissolve the village lit a fuse that could burn from anywhere between 12 to 20 months depending on how quickly municipal officials hit each procedural checkpoint.

The village board must meet within 30 days to appoint a planning committee tasked with drafting a roadmap.

Deputy Mayor Matthew Brassard said this will likely be a combination of village and town residents and officials, with a goal to hold their first meeting the week before Thanksgiving.

The group then has to meet within 30 days to start hashing out a dissolution plan, which must be finished within 180 days.

Contrary to some of the chatter on the streets, the village did not instantaneously dissolve once the vote totals came in last week, said Brassard.

“Business will continue as usual for the next 12-16 months until we’re fully dissolved,” Brassard said.

Myriad issues need to be addressed as the 146-year-old village prepares to distribute its services to the town of Moriah.

Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the biggest issue is fire protection and the future of the village fire department.

While villages can legally own departments, town law prohibits it.

“You can have fire districts, but a town has no control over a fire department,” said Scozzafava. “There are options we’re going to explore that are practical, available and affordable to the village residents.”

Water and sewer districts will have to be folded into the town’s network. A debt service plan will be created, as will a plan for what to do with village assets.

“The best thing to do is going into the town with no debt,” said Brassard.

Seven village employees will likely be added to the town payrolls, said the deputy mayor, while the clerk and treasurer may find themselves losing their jobs owing to civil service examinations and residency issues.

Other village services will be sharply reduced and eliminated, including snow removal and trash collection.

Scozzafava said while Moriah will continue to plow some downtown areas, he flatly stated the town will not get into the trash business, citing the sprawling nature of the community.

“Service can be provided at a lower cost by the private sector,” said Scozzafava.

The village tax rate is $11.78; the town’s, $7.31.

Both leaders estimated a reduction in taxes for former village residents.

Once the committee works out a plan, it’s subject to approval by the village board.

After they do so, a public hearing must be held between 35 and 90 days. Also required: A public notice advertising the meeting must run for four consecutive weeks in a newspaper.

Following public input, committee mem-

bers then have an additional 60 days to produce a final draft. Once that plan has been approved, the village could then begin implementing the dissolution plan within 45 days, with the exact dissolution date to be determined.

Brassard sees the process taking anywhere from 16-20 months, while Scozzafava thinks it can be done sooner.

“This process shouldn’t take any more than 10 months,” said Scozzafava. “I don’t think dragging this out for two years should be done.”

Options remain for opponents, who can stall dissolution by filing a referendum. If those concerns are found to be valid, the vil-

lage board must schedule a vote between 60 and 90 days.

If voters torpedo the plan, dissolution will not occur as scheduled.

Brassard doesn’t appear to be worried.

“There’s never been a village that has voted to dissolve, gotten to the planning stage, and then voted the plan down,” he said.

Since 1900, 50 villages in New York have dissolved.

Scozzafava said he doesn’t anticipate a “civil war” between the town and village.

“We’re all going to work together as a transition team,” he said. “This isn’t about winning or losing — it’s about democracy.”

DECISION DAY: Essex County voters headed to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 3 to select their candidates for local government. For full returns and coverage, visit suncommunitynews.com.

Debating debates

he recent series of debates has left a very interested public overly disappointed with the process.

Republican as well as the Democrat debates were not carried out in a manner that allows the candidates to explain to the public their vision for America.

The events have become a spectacle that only serves to put money into the pockets of the television networks.

As an employer one would never consider putting all their top candidates in a room, under hot lights making them stand for several hours and let non-interested parties ask them irrelevant questions and encourage them to degrade and squabble with each other. After which you would then try to select one of the candidates for your most valued position.

Consider this, the American voters wants an opportunity to select the right person and feel confident that the person they get behind has the skills, temperament, and judgment to be our Commander in Chief.

I would propose a series of one hour evening discussions, with no more than four candidates seated in comfortable chairs having a professional conversation about the issues and the tasks that lie ahead. These session would be moderated by Vice President Joseph Biden for the Democrats and former nominee Governor Mitt Romney for the Republicans.

These sessions would be aired on television and made available over the internet. Candidates would be encouraged to engage in thoughtful discussion on the visions each has for the country, their qualifications for the job and provide insight as to how they will work with the opposition party.

No gotcha questions, no imaginary “what ifs”. The goal should not be to grill someone nor see them put on the spot but instead to allow a candidates’ true personality to come to the forefront.

The goal would be to allow the American public greater insight into the differences in the plans and proposals these men and women are putting forth, so that we have a better understanding of the issues and the challenges we all face in the future.

America is at a very important crossroads at this time. We all need to invest time in this process and we really need to select the right person to lead the nation in the right direction.

We need a better way than what we’ve currently been given. We need to replace sound bites with intelligent conversation and leave the staged events behind.

Congrats, you’re dissolving. Now step on the gas

A

storm front moved into Port Henry last week.

Wind lashed the streets; the power flickered and the rain began to fall in a steady drizzle.

Inside a local gas station, the lights went out, leaving customers and staff in the dark.

“That’s what we get for dissolving the village,” quipped the clerk.

The room laughed.

Nervously.

Dramatic, isn’t it� We hope the run-up to Dissolution Day will be decidedly less so.

Last week’s close vote — the measure passed 190171 — indicated that the community still faces an emotional path forward as they plot the next phase of their existence, which will likely consist of being folded into the town of Moriah.

On an emotional level, it can’t be easy: Most of us are intertwined with where we’re from, a sense of place coiled into our DNA. It can’t be easy to watch as that sense of identity is actively eroded at the ballot booth.

The march towards dissolution, which for Port Henry, was a long time coming, is also spiked with a number of bureaucratic speed bumps.

Following the vote, the village board must meet within 30 days to appoint a planning committee tasked with drafting a roadmap.

According to state law, this group, containing both village and town officials and residents, will have six months to hash out a dissolution plan. Once the village board approves the document, a hearing must be held between 35 and 90 days. Following public input, committee members then have an additional 60 days to produce a final draft.

Once that plan has been approved, dissolution will take effect within 45 days — barring a referendum, of course.

If voters torpedo the plan, dissolution will not occur… as scheduled.

No one seems to know what would come after that.

But it can’t be good.

Municipal officials admit that they’re entering uncharted territory: The procedure is complex, and so is the process of transferring the village’s services to other entities, including fire protection, water and sewer services and others, both those of a personal and physical nature.

We admit that it must be daunting for an elected official.

And there’s a lot at stake.

It’s because of these reasons that we encourage officials to move forward expeditiously and hit each of these benchmarks as quickly as possible, perhaps even ahead of schedule.

Doing so will reduce the possibility of a long, dragged-out fight.

Port Henry and Moriah are in good company.

While only 50 villages have dissolved in New York since 1900, a handful of them have been in Essex County: Bloomingdale, Elizabethtown, Ticonderoga and Westport have undergone identical processes within the past few decades, while Keeseville dissolved just last year, its assets split between Ausable and Chesterfield.

The situation facing Port Henry should be exponentially simpler than Keeseville for a few reasons: Unlike their neighbor to the north, which spanned two towns in two counties, Port Henry is located in just one for both.

The village doesn’t have the infrastructure issues that Keeseville had with its water plant, nor does there appear to be the same level of acrimony between some of the town and village officials.

As such, we don’t see any reason why this can’t be wrapped up within a year.

Dissolving was a smart move.

Initial estimates indicate Port Henry taxpayers are positioned to rack up sizable savings in their tax bills, an importance that can’t be overestimated in this working class community with a struggling economy.

In this era of austerity, it makes no sense to have duplicative layers of government.

And while we continue to have serious reservations about the two percent tax cap, eliminating a village is one way to lower costs and property taxes.

Port Henry will get through this. And if life in the now-hamlet of Keeseville is any indication, they’ll come out stronger in the process.

Caitlin Wade Bridge tourney gives thanks

Government letdown again

To the Editor: On June 6, the second Caitlin Wade Bridge Memorial Golf Tournament was held at the Willsboro Golf Course.

At age 25, Caitlin was diagnosed with colon cancer and fought a very courageous battle for the next 22 months. She lost this battle on October 1, 2012, at the age of 27. The purpose of these tournaments was to not only raise awareness of the importance of early screening and detection of colon cancer, but also to “give back” to some folks that we will be forever grateful to.

All of the proceeds from this tournament, with the exception of a small donation to the Colon Cancer Alliance, were donated directly to the Infusion Clinic at The University of Vermont Health Network Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

Caitlin received most of her treatment and care at our local Infusion Clinic – this included an overwhelming amount of love and support from her caregivers at the clinic, not only for Caitlin, but for her families as well – for this we will be eternally grateful� We hope the donation we were able to make to this clinic will be a small token of how much you mean to all of us� This tournaments would not have been successful if it had not been for many, many people becoming involved and supporting our cause. First and foremost, we would like to recognize and thank Eric Arnold– our Willsboro tournament organizer extraordinaire� We would also like to recognize three UVHN ECH employees, who acknowledged and supported our efforts - Meredith King, Razmig Babikian, and Heather Reynolds. The fact that these three employees attended the tournament meant more to us than they can imagine�� Kudos also goes to the folks at the Willsboro Golf Course – they could not have been more accommodating, and the course was beautiful� We would also like to sincerely thank the golfers, the hole sponsors, the invaluable team of volunteers, the donors, the raffle ticket and tee-shirt purchasers, and those who spent the day with us to give moral support – we appreciate each and every one of you�� When all was said and done, we were able to donate $10,000 to the Infusion Clinic at the UVHN Elizabethtown Community Hospital, to be used at the discretion of the staff working in the Clinic.

Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts�

To the Editor: Yet again our leadership in Washington has let us down for the sake of political expediency. A majority of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, have passed a two-year budget deal so as to avoid the pretense of shutting down the government. Obama will sign it.

They claim raising the debt ceiling is required to pay for expense already incurred. They sagely declare they’re just paying the bills. They don’t explain why the expense was incurred if there was no budgeted money to pay for it.

Both parties want to increase spending, but for different things. They promise to cut spending, but not just yet.

The increased spending will require more borrowing since borrowing is less politically damaging than raising taxes or changing tax codes.

Our national debt is now 18.5 trillion dollars. The debt increases by over a million dollars every 2 minutes, 24/7. This level of debt is disproportionate to our economy. 18.5 trillion dollars is an extraordinary number and is the equivalent of spending 51 million dollars every single day for a thousand years.

This will continue until people stop lending us money.

You need to think about what happens then, and prepare for it. Perhaps you’ve noticed that no politician ever explains how and why our debt is OK. You might infer from this that it’s not OK which is what the Congressional Budget Office has been telling us for years. Meanwhile our government, Republican, Democrat and socialist alike, marches us lemmings dutifully to the sea.

Welcome autumn!

To the Editor: As October arrives each year, its crisp nights never fail to create a scenic wonder of red and gold foliage throughout the village of Keene Valley and surrounding Adirondack Mountains, leaving residents and visitors alike to ponder if the colors just might be more spectacular than the year before.

This year, however, the brilliant colors of this annual Autumn phenomenon were overshadowed for both past and present KV residents by the loss of a wonderful business man, a much beloved and respected �Coach’, and most recently, a very special nurse. These unique individuals were so much more than their titles could possibly define and this is what made each an integral part of this village, making it a warm, wonderful place to have grown up.

Though the autumn colors will soon begin to fade, the warm memories of this business man, this �Coach’ and this nurse will remain with all us whose lives they touched and made a most positive difference.

following the recurring issues, the county’s fair sub-committee ultimately decided to prohibit all boarding in the facility’s barns except during fair week in August.

“It’s been a continued problem,” said Connell. “We’ve spent so much time spent trying to get them to pay the bill.”

Connell noted the county also absorbs the cost of water and sewer fees.

The lawmaker also wanted it to be clear that the decision to evict non-paying tenants will not affect the $8,000 the Essex County Agricultural Society receives annually from the New York State Breeders Association.

“You’re not closing the barns, only evicting the people who aren’t paying the rent,” said Connell.

The exact number of horses fluctuate each month.

Supervisor Shaun Gillilland noted the presence of additional squatters at the property after touring the grounds, he told lawmakers.

County Attorney Daniel Manning said his office will file a 30-day notice to quit, or a legal document that informs the tenant they can pay the amount due or vacate the premises. If the owner doesn’t pay up, then the next step is to file a petition of eviction with the Westport Justice Court, explained Manning.

Additional legal action may follow.

Manning said his office plans on serving the tenant this week.

He noted that the county may have to board the horses in the interim period. Another complication is that since some of the horses are owned by third parties, they, too, need to be served with eviction paperwork.

The county charges a boarding fee of $75 per horse per month.

The tenant owed $4,544 on Oct. 19, the date of the committee meeting.

The resolution to evict delinquent and non-paying tenants unanimously passed the full board on Monday.

Don McQueen, who has been identified as the tenant, was not available for comment by the time this story went to print on Tuesday. A phone number appears to be unlisted in the phonebook, while a note left on the stable door in Westport went unanswered.

Director. “We have been expanding our operations and working towards the day when passengers will travel once again from New York City to Lake Placid by train. This proposal cuts off that prospect and damages local businesses that benefit from the railroad now, and even more in the future.”

The rally will also be an opportunity to celebrate the popular new rail bikes operated by Rail Explorers USA. The new business has served approximately 15,000 riders this year, and is threatened by the state’s plan to remove the rails.

“Rail Explorers has not only had a tangible economic impact by bringing new visitors to the area, but the company has also raised awareness about the importance of preserving this well-loved piece of Adirondack history.

It is time to embrace a future of �Rails and Trails’,” said Steven Engelhart, Executive Director of Adirondack Architectural Heritage.

Mary Joy Lu of Rail Explorers USA described the success of the rail bikes in their first year. ”We thought this would be a development year, and that next year things would really take off, but the immediate response to the rail bikes has been beyond our expectations. We have ordered more bikes to be manufactured, extended our hours, and hired more employees but are still unable to keep up. Our customer surveys have indicated that over 75 percent of respondents were traveling to the region for the very first time, and

a large reason why they came what to ride the rail bikes,”she said.

According to ROOST the average daily spending for a visitor party of 4.1 people is $323/day in our region.

The rally is sponsored by Adirondack Architectural Heritage, Adirondack Railway Preservation Society, Historic Saranac Lake, Rail Explorers USA, and the Trails with Rails Action Committee.

Hunger is a real need in the community, said Faircloth. While the organization doesn’t have a formal program, food circulates in and out of the facility.

Cash is also welcome, with $23 designated as the amount set to fill a basket. Altogether, Families First hopes to raise $1,500.

Whatever is left over by the Monday before Thanksgiving, which is when patrons will start picking up their baskets, will be kept for the Christmas Drive.

Calls are preferred prior to pick-ups, but the group but will not turn anyone away.

“I always feel like people come together where there is a real need,” said Snow-Perry.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Saying Goodbye Gordie Little

Columnist

I

f I finished a conversation with you by saying, “Toodles,” would you have any clue what I was talking about� I just mentioned it to Kaye and she responded with, “Boy, that’s a blast from the past.” Yes, it is. Somebody else brought it up a while back when I was reflecting on some old fashioned phrases we remember from our youth. I received numerous e-mails after that column.

Music is a huge part of my life; so, a song title came to mind, as often happens: “50 Ways to Say Goodbye” by Train in their album “California 37” from 2012. And another: “Love Means Never Having to Say Goodbye” from 2004. That got my juices flowing and the race was on for us to see how many words and phrases we could conjure up that fit this category.

You can begin at your kitchen table, if you like. I’ll throw out a few to get you underway. I started one on the radio after our son and his wife were killed in 1988 followed by a young grandson two days later: “Have a great day and please drive carefully.” I closed every newscast with that admonition until the day I left that business in April of 1997.

When I meet friends in the grocery store, they often repeat, “Please drive carefully.”

“See ya,” “I’ll be talkin’ to ya,” “Take care,” “Bye,” “Catch ya later,” “Ciao,” Adios,” “Sayonara,” “Ta,” “Be well,” “May your teeth never be replaced by woolen socks.” Okay, I made the last one up. How many can you come up with� Ready, set, go.

One that I’ve used at least a thousand times: “See ya later, alligator.” And the response: “After a while, crocodile.” Or another that I would not use while leaving church: “Don’t let the door hit ya where the Lord split ya.”

I dare you to try “toodles’ or “Toodleoo.” Let me know how many strange looks you get. If that doesn’t work, how about “Stay afloat, mountain goat.”

Some more old phrases I haven’t heard in a long time, mentioned by my friend Norm Stotland from Quebec: “More than Carter has liver pills,” “oil cloth,” “valise” and many more. Cartoon aficionado Stan Burdick in Ticonderoga had a phrase his mother used to apply to him when he was young: “Pick up your paraphernalia, son; company’s coming.” One of my favorites came from Stan referring to “an old guy I worked for in the old days when asked how he felt”: “Oh, I’m pretty tolerable.”

Well, I’m also pretty tolerable today myself and I hope it remains that way into the distant future. In the words of a great 1940 Woody Guthrie song, “So long, it’s been good to know yuh, and I got to be driftin’ along.”

Port Henry Holiday Bazaar

“Five years from today, you will be the same person that you are today, except for the books you read and the people you meet.” I would cite the quote, but allegedly several people wrote it.

Instead, I will tell you about Port Henry’s Sherman Free Library, which was built in 1887. One hundred and twenty-eight years later, the slate-covered building is still a tremendous resource to the community. The Holiday Bazaar is one way the neighborhood supports their treasure.

The event claims to have one of the best White Elephant Tables, excellent baked goods, a savory luncheon and dozens of talented artisans.

Freshly-cut greens will fragrance the hall. To infuse your home with the same aroma, sniff out the Decker’s Flats table, where they will be taking wreaths/ kissing balls preorders.

You are are bound to meet someone interesting and fund some inspiring additions to the library.

The magic happens between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on November 14, at the Knights of Columbus building.

Music is food for the soul Zip City Blues will fill the Essex Community Church with the musical equivalent of soul food. They serve up the area’s finest bluegrass, folk, country and blues. On Nov. 7, at 7-9:30 p.m., your donation will buy an evening with the band. In turn, those cats give all donations to local food shelves. Knowing they give their proceeds to feed neighbors, totally rocks�

Calling all outlaws

I’ll hold your towel Best buddies do kindnesses for each other. Letting someone ahead of you in line is a gesture reserved for besties.

Sign up for the 9th Annual Lake George Polar Plunge for Special Olympics and hundreds of new pals will eagerly let you go first.

Last year’s line was 600 deep.

With a goal of $1,000,000, organizers of the Plunge appreciate everyone in the long, boisterous line. In addition to hitting their target, the event also brings awareness to Special Olympics (SO).

I haven’t personally been to the SO, but I understand it is a spectacular event.

In the future, I hope several SO metals encircle my great niece, Lyla’s, neck.

The plunge is November 14 at Shepard Park Beach in Lake George. The march to the drink begins at 9 a.m. Hearty local Plungers will keep the parade going in and out of the freezing water until 4 p.m.

There are several ways to register, get additional information, or sponsor a dunker, visit their Facebook page, contact Jennifer Frame at 518.388.0790 x128 or email lgplunge2015. kintera.org.

Jake M, a high school senior at Saratoga Springs said he will take the plunge. Challenging me to do the same, he raised his brows and gave me a quick nod. I parroted one of my nephew’s favorite sayings back to him, “You be you, and I’ll be me” adding, “I will donate to your swim, and wrap you in a fuzzy towel when you hit the shore. You can take my word for that buddy�” Just in: Ahren W. of Elizabethtown has also entered the SO Plunge� Let me spin a tale for you. These musings reach 50,000 mailboxes. Our readers live just shy of the Canadian border stretching south to Warrensburg. Certainly you must have something to tell them. I’m available 24 hours a day at Linda@suncommunitynews.com.

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett

> Outdoor Columnist

Joe@suncommunitynews.com

The good old days

T

here is no doubt the current generation of NYS Forest Rangers and Environmental Conservation Officers are consummate professionals, as evidenced by their valuable service during the recent Clinton Correctional Prison break.

The unique requirements of the position often present a variety of risks and responsibilities.

These professionals of the woods were chosen and trained to administer conservation law, often in environments that were once considered lawless.

The fabled Sunday Rock, located in the town of Colton, once marked the northern border of the vast Adirondack wilderness.

At the turn of the 20th century, it was said, “There’s no law south of the Sunday Rock.”

While it may no longer be true, there’s no doubt the men, and women in green often travel and work long hours in harsh and challenging remote areas where help isn’t always available, and witnesses are few. The men, and women in green remain on call at all hours of the day and night to affect a rescue or search for a lost wanderer.

It’s more of a lifestyle than an occupation, and the likelihood of encountering a serious life or death situation is often part of the routine.

During the hunting season, it is important for all travelers, and especially sportsmen and women to recognize this fact. When encountering law enforcement, keep fire arms pointed at the ground.

The late Charlie Reynolds of Lake Clear was a longtime ECO who worked out of Ray Brook. He once explained the difference

between poachers and outlaws, claiming, “Poachers may have a button buck hanging in the camp shed, but they’d still invite you in for a cup of coffee on a cold day; but the real outlaws never would, and you learned not to turn your back on them�” However, in the past, it wasn’t uncommon for the old Conservation Department crew to have also have a bit of fun on the job, as was the case when longtime Saranac Lake, Game Protector Dick Emperor enlisted the services of a young recruit named Charlie Reynolds, to help him remove a mountain lion that had died of natural causes at the Land of 1000 Animals Amusement Park in Lake Placid.

Emperior, who was known as a joker, had a far better idea for the old cat in mind. After loading the big cat in the bed of a pickup, he drove down a lonely, back road and shot the deceased cat several times with his service revolver. Then, he dragged the old cat around the North Country in the back of his state vehicle to all the local bars. It was big news, when he attempted to claim a $1000 bounty the Tupper Fish and Game Club offered for the last mountain lion in the Adirondacks.

The stunt attracted the attention of a local newspaper columnist, and it soon hit the Albany newspapers. As Charlie later explained, “ Well, the folks in Albany got wind of it, and boy, did Dick ever get his knickers in a stitch.” The tale of the long tailed, long ago, catamount has since mixed with a common myth that claims DEC has been secretly been restocking cougars in the Park for many years. Unfortunately, the story of DEC restoring the big cats, remains a much larger myth.

Game check station shenanigans A similarly numerous tale involves roadside Game Check Stations the Conservation Department often maintains during the Big Game Hunting Season. One of the most enduring myths of of these stations is the tale of a pair of dimwitted, downstate hunters who stopped at a Check Station with the carcass of a big black Newfoundland, which they mistook for a bear.

I’ve never been able to corroborate the story, but it is similar to tales that have been told from Maine to Georgia, and just about any other place where both bear, and amateur hunters are to be found.

However, I have heard wonderful true stories from long since retired employees of the old Conservation Department who once traveled the trails, and manned the Fire Towers. .DEC continues

As the hunting season continues, it is difficult to escape the evidence of natural beauty, in nature.

to maintain Game Check Stations during the annual Big Game Hunting Season, and they were kept quite busy during the late �50’s and early 60’s when the Park’s deer herd was at it’s peak.

One of the department’s most well known biologists detailed the side-benefits of working a Game Check Station back in the day, as he explained, “ We were on our feet from sunrise to sunset checking deer and bear, and occasionally we’d get hungry. So we’d inspect a deer that some poor fella had strapped on his roof top, and we’d just shake our heads and point.”

“What seems to be the problem�”, he’d soon ask. “Well sir,” I’d explain as I pointed to the inner loins in the deer’s exposed cavity.

“You see that meat right there, why that meat is tainted�” “Tainted, what do you mean by tainted�” he’d ask incredulously.

“Yes, sir, it’s beginning to smell kind of funny, and I’m afraid the whole deer will be spoiled by the time you drive home. How far have you got to go�” “Well, after explaining he had a 4 hour ride home; he’d ask us if there was anything that could be done to save the meat from spoiling�” “Well of course there is, Sir�”, I’d reply. Then I’d volunteer to remove those rotten inner-loins from the deer right on the spot.”

“Of course, the unsuspecting hunter would thank me for the help and soon he’d be traveling happily down the road, while we were busy chopping onions and peppers to toss in the frypan with the fresh venison loins that had nearly rotted the poor man’s deer.”

“It was the best job I ever had�’, my old friend explained, “But I had to move on. I was just putting on too much damn weight.”

Lake Placid defends Class C title with win over AVCS

By Jill Lobdell

jill@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — As the remnants of Hurricane Patricia stormed in, so did the Lake Placid Blue Bombers in their Class C final matchup against AuSable Valley, reclaiming the title with a 5-1 win.

The first goal game at 19:05 in the first half as Bjorn Kroes assisted on a Eric Montana goal.

Then the flood gates opened as the rain poured in as Jared Smith, Ryan Kane and Jaso Hannula made assists on a trio of goals from

Chris Williams.

“We played really well all game long,” Williams said. “We practiced everything that we wanted to do in the game. It came out perfectly for us.”

He said they got the momentum after the first goal.

“Everyone loves the first goal in soccer to get the momentum going,” head coach Stuart Hemsley said. “Eric got the first one off the post and we were just smooth sailing from there.”

“We did a great job in possessing the ball, controlling the ball, and controlling the

game,” Stuart Baird said. “We set the mood on our second goal. We were prepared to win the game. We need to carry this momentum and this positive vibe into our next game.”

“Overall we would say our play was a B+ on a school card,” Hemsley said. “We did some good finishing but didn’t play well on this turf. It’s like playing on carpet. The ball never stops rolling. The passing has to be super accurate. We don’t play on this all the time and it’s going to take us a little while to get used to it. We are going to get on some more turf to practice.”

The Patriots finally got on the scoreboard

as Caleb Hamilton scored unassisted at 17:22 on keeper Noah Mohr.

When coach Hemsley was asked how the weather played a part he said, “I’m pleased on how we were scoring the ball after the first four minutes and slashing the ball. It’s a worry when you got the wind and the rain in your face. You never know when scoring is going to happen. There is always a shock in this sport. You put your best 11 on the field and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. We didn’t start well and the first goal settle us and the second one made us a little more comfortable.”

Hemsley felt the players were “comfortable” on the big stage.

“I am pleased that I was able to get the seniors on the field who have been on the team for three or four years,” he said. This is the first time they got into a game. I just have a great group of players right now.”

AuSable Valley ended up with eight shots on goal while Lake Placid had 19. Ryan Thomas of AuSable Valley made 14 saves while Noah Mohr made 7.

Hornets win Class B title

Lake Placid celebrates after winning the Section VII/Class C title.

Trevor Wills then scored in the 47th and 57th minutes to cap the championship for the Hornets.

J.D. Side made five saves to help lead the Hornets to a clean sheet performance, while Ben Estes made 10 saves for the Indians.

Ti wins another classic D final v. Moriah

Graney scores in first OT for 6-0 win over previously undefeated Vikings

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — An undefeated season may have come down to the first drive of the game for the Moriah Vikings Oct. 30.

“I never thought a 3-0 lead would hold up against this team after the first drive of the game,” head coach Don Tesar said after the game.

He was wrong.

After a scoreless regulation, the Ticonderoga Sentinels (8-1) scored the lone touchdown of the game in the first possession of overtime, stopping the Vikings on the ensuing drive for a 6-0 victory, claiming the Section VII/Class D title from the previously unbeaten Vikings (8-1).

Receiving the opening kick-off. The Vikings quickly marched down the field to the Sentinel 15 yard line, where they were faced with a fourth-and-six.

Instead of turning to kicker Ray Bryant, Tesar decided to go for a first down, with an Adam Jaquish pass to Jarrod MacDougal falling incomplete.

“I told the kids after the game they had nothing to hang their head about, and honTiconderoga

esty, I said I should have kicked the ball on that first drive,” Tesar said. “In the first half we moved the ball well, we just could not get into the endzone.”

The opening drive was as close as either team would get to pay-dirt through the 48 minutes of regulation, with the Sentinels best drive taking them to the Vikings’ 23 before a turnover on downs after an option pass by Brody Rocque was too far in front of Evan Graney.

The only other chance either team had for scoring came at the end of regulation, when Vikings punter Taylor Slattery downed a punt at the one yard line with 17 seconds remaining. Graney was able to gain one yard on the first play from scrimmage, but was knocked backwards on the final play of regulation, keeping himself just in front of the goalline to avoid a two-point safety which would have given the Vikings the win.

Before the start of overtime, Sentinel coach Scott Nephew Members of the Ticonderoga Sentinels football team celebrate after their 6-0 victory over Moriah Oct. 30.

Patriots, Eagles win football titles in Class C, B

CVAC cross country meet gives a preview into sectional finals

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley Patriots and Beekmantown Eagles both defeated the defending Section VII champions in Class C and B, respectively, in Oct. 31 championship games.

In the opener, Dalton McDonald, making his second career start, helped carry the Patriots past the Saranac Lake Red Storm thank to a four-yard touchdown pass to Kobe Parrow for a 20-14 victory.

McDonald finished 13-of-25 passing for 173 yards and two touchdown passes, the first also going to Parrow from 11 yards out in the third quarter, helping to tie the game at 1414 after a Mark Whitney two-point conversion run.

Whitney scored the opening touchdown of the game for the Patriots from one yard out, while rushing for 51 yards in the game.

Drew Sturgeon, playing at quarterback in place of the injured Tristan Fitzgerald, finished 12-of-23 for 135 yards and two scores, both going to Joe Viscardo, who finished with five receptions for 62 yards. Sturgeon also was the team’s leading rusher with 40 yards.

The final game of championship weekend broke from the tradition of late-game heroics seen in the Class D and C tilts, as the Beekmantown Eagles jumped out to a 27-0 lead on their way to avenging an opening weekend loss to the Peru Indians, 47-13.

Tyler Myers scored on a pair of 50 yard touchdown runs, finishing with 176 rushing yards in the game. Alex Archer added 21 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground while Nate Handy had 68 yards rushing and a score while recording a pick-six interception on defense.

For Peru, Jordan Guay went 17-of-31 passing for 240 yards, but was intercepted twice by the Eagles. Dakota Arquette finished with 78 rushing yards and two scores. Peru starting back Brandon Sawyer, returning from injury, was involved in the first play of the game and was unable to return after being tackled by a host of Eagles defenders for a one yard loss.

CADYVILLE — Jonathan Gay and Margaret Champagne set themselves up as the favorites heading into the Nov. 6 Section VII championship meet as each took the top honors at the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference championships Oct. 31.

Gay, the runner who has helped to create and build up the EKMW cross country program, crossed the line at the Cadyville Recreation Park in 15:41, breaking the previous course record, 25 seconds ahead of Seton Catholic’s Caleb Moore. Isaiah Maddix of Peru finished third in 16:19.

Meanwhile, three-time defending Section VII individual champion Champagne led the ladies to the line in 18:26, as the Lady Knight finished 41 seconds ahead of Saranac’s Rachael Woodruff.

While Champagne won the individual title, Woodruff and her teammates won the CVAC team championship, with Elise LePage finishing sixth (20:20), Elysha O’Connell eighth (20:22) and Caitlyn Cliche ninth (20:22).

The Lady Chiefs scored a one-point victory over the Knights, while Saranac Lake finished third, Plattsburgh High fourth and Peru fifth.

On the boys side, the Lake Placid Blue Bombers took home the top team honors, as Henry McGrew paced the team with a fifth place finish (16:25), Karl Schulz finished sixth (16:36) and Forest Ledger 13th (17:11).

The Section VII championships and state qualifier meet will take place Friday, Nov. 6, at the Cobble Hill Golf Course in Elizabethtown. The girls race will begin at 1:15 p.m., while the boys will start at 2:15 p.m.
