PLATTSBURGH — A two-day trip to Boston for testing turned into a 30-day trip of procedures and unexpected complications for Mighty Matthew.

Matthew Cech, Plattsburgh’s 11-year-old local superhero, went

to Boston for testing to find out if Matthew could consume more by mouth than he does now: lollipops, popsicles and a few other items — hoping he could maybe consume baby foods and other soft foods such as squash.

The testing didn’t go as good as the Cech family hoped, which led into a series of problems — one of

Holiday stroll on tap in Lake Placid Seventh annual event Dec. 11-13 kicks off holiday season

As a plan to pump toxic waste from a decommissioned Cold War site surfaces, residents are calling for answers LEWIS — This stretch of the Adirondack Park is a quiet place.

It’s a pocket of wilderness in northern Essex County that serves as a respite of silent meditation among the pines; a place of home and community where generaPete tions have raised their families, worked in DeMola Editor the nearby mines and mills and practiced football in the frosty shade of the nearby mountains.

It’s because of this remote location that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the federal government designated it as a nuclear missile launch site during the Cold War. The eight-acre site on Hale Hill Road, once a bulwark against nuclear armageddon, has long been praised in national media profiles as a whimsical example of atomic age chic.

But those who live in its shadow are now gravely concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding a plan by its new owners to pump the water that has gathered at the bottom of the silo, treat it and discharge it into the land that provides their drinking water.

LAKE PLACID — The Adirondack alpine village of Lake Placid invites all to experience a festive start to the season as it hosts the 7th Annual Holiday Village Stroll, complete with holiday shopping, family fun, arts and entertainment from Friday, Dec. 11 through Sunday, Dec. 13.

This December, the Holiday Village Stroll weekend is packed with plenty of activities for kids and families, including a skating party, opportunities to visit with Santa, holiday movie screenings at the Palace Theatre, a tree-lighting ceremony, holiday crafts, story time and cookie decorating.

Grown ups will enjoy strolling Lake Placid’s quaint Main Street adorned with ice sculptures, holiday shopping deals, specialty drinks, live music throughout the village. In addition, the Jingle Bell Run/Walk is a fun race on a 2.5-mile course around the scenic Mirror Lake, in which hundreds of visitors and locals compete; festive costumes are encouraged.

Highlights of the weekend include: • Free skating party at the Lake Placid Olympic Center; • Santa’s arrival by fire truck on Main Street; • Free classic holiday movies in the old-fashioned movie theatre; • Traditional Yule Log Hunt • Mid’s Park Holiday Celebration with tree lighting and

Plans to pump sludge from a former nuclear launch site in Lewis have raised questions from residents who are concerned about the possible effect on their drinking water.

The subsequent sludge, which contains lead and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), would then be shipped off-site for disposal.

Residents became aware of the project only after a county worker, through a workplace conversation, learned of a state pollutant discharge elimination system permit that was filed in September.

“We’d be left completely in the dark if it wasn’t by accident finding out about this process,” said Dan Canavan, a local resident.

But work had already started on the site, located about 30 miles south of Plattsburgh.

Odd reversals

ur world felt a seismic shift last week after the terrorist raid in Paris that killed far too many. Couple that event with the definite proof that terrorists in fact did down the Russian airliner a few weeks ago, killing all 224 on board.

Finally we are seeing nations taking significant steps to put an end to the unspeakable terror we’ve witnessed with increasing regularity throughout the world.

During my life time, I’ve known the United States of America to be the world’s leader in addressing hotspots around the world. We learned the hard way many years ago, we could not turn our back on world issues as, sooner or later they would land on our shores and it was always more prudent to face them on our terms and before they became too large to handle.

Such is not the case currently despite the threats and attacks we’ve seen both at home and abroad.

Perhaps our reluctance to fully engage is just not how we view our role any longer.

Perhaps politics have driven our nation so far beyond common sense and finding common ground that we no longer have the ability nor the stomach to lead as we once did.

Consider this: Gun violence in this country, not committed by criminals or gangs, but by a few deranged, unstable, or suicidal individuals has caused many in this country to seek the banishment of guns and ammunition ownership by private law biding citizens.

The fear being what the guns and ammo may do to innocent citizens.

Now as we consider allowing Syrian refugees a free pass into the nation another group of many fear a few among the refugees are terrorists in disguise who seek to conduct their rein of terror within our midst.

Just like the guns, we are told by leading law enforcement officials there is no way to verify the intention of every refugee no more than they can predetermine the few already among us who might choose to kill innocent men, women and children.

It seems to me both of these groups are making the same argument but in opposite directions strictly for political gain.

It’s hard to understand how any country’s citizen can turn a weapon or bomb

Gov. Pataki should call it a day H

ere come the holidays. We’re thrilled not only for the obvious reasons — food, family and football — but also because it’s a time when the ever-present political drone becomes slightly muted and the jabber of the presidential race fades into the holiday landscape.

Once the presidential hopefuls emerge from their turkey-padded cocoons, the candidates can look forward to another six weeks on the stump before voters in Iowa and New Hampshire kick off the nation’s first nominating contests.

The GOP field is showing signs of winnowing, the most recent dropout being Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, whose campaign failed to gain traction and was languishing at 1 percent in national polls when he exited the race earlier this month.

“This is not my time,” Jindal said.

Neither is it Gov. George Pataki’s. But despite having virtually zero support — the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll has the former New York chief executive polling at less than a half-percent — Pataki remains in the race.

Governor, you’ve made a noble effort, but it’s time to drop out.

The three-term governor launched his candidacy in May as a moderate Republican, one who presided over the state during 9/11 and could appeal to the broad center of the American electorate.

But with the rise of other candidates who have occupied this niche — Ohio Gov. John Kasich as the moderate can-do governor; Chris Christie, of New Jersey, as the red warrior in the deep-blue state — the basis for his candidacy, if that was even a viable one at all, has evaporated.

Pataki has now resorted to tossing plutonium-grade bombs from his perch in New Hampshire in a game of one-upmanship as to who can issue the most hawkish remarks.

The left has an “agenda of victimhood,” he has said. He’s called Team Obama a “disgrace” and says the administration is “holding the military hostage” — “The Obama-Clinton-Kerry axis of evasion, equivocation & error has left America at the mercy of ISIS cowards,” he wrote on Twitter.

Jeez. Sure, we know it’s all just red meat for the party base, much of which may be forgotten by the general election. But it just comes across as increasingly desperate and ill-fitting on the governor, who has never seemed like much of an ideologue.

Fear mongering only pays short-term political dividends.

It’s never a good sign when you have to constantly remind voters who you are. Even worse is when your campaign is only notable for its invisibility.

But harming your legacy with this sharp tack to the right, attempting to leverage unreasonable fear into political gain, is the icing on the cake — It doesn’t make you sound tough, but rather like an opportunist.

At 70, it seems like Pataki has no real need to reshape his legacy or carve out another career as a cable commentator, author or cabinet member, like the other long-shot candidates. Nor would he be in contention for a veep spot on the eventual ticket.

It all just seems like an exercise in futility (and a wee bit of narcissism).

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the governor has a home right here in our backyard, a working cattle farm on the shores on Lake Champlain he purchased in 2003.

While charting the country’s future doesn’t appear to be in the cards for the governor, it’s not too late to make the world a better place on a smaller scale.

Perhaps he can start in this hotbed of the farm-to-table movement.

Plenty of emerging farmers in Essex County, we think, would benefit from the governor’s expertise in public policy and agriculture.

It’s just too bad that he’s spending his days focused on the wrong type of bull.

SupportÊ theÊ UnitedÊ Way To the Editor: I represent the United Way Campaign Team for the Adirondack Region.

United Way funds 42 different agencies in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties. I co-lead one of these agencies: The Champlain Valley Chapter of The Compassionate Friends. This is a self help bereavement support group for families who have had children, grandchildren or a sibling die. This is run by volunteers only. With the funds from United Way we can send out newsletters, run meetings, host a memorial walk and candle lighting ceremony, and also do other fun events for our members.

The United Way Campaign is in full swing this Holiday Season and with everyone hustling around to make sure we check everyone off our Holiday lists, I would like for you to consider giving a gift in honor or memory of a loved one to this year’s United Way Campaign. Holiday shopping is exhausting, so why not save some time and drop off a donation to The United Way Office on the Tom Miller Road in Plattsburgh. There are always gifts to purchase for those hard to buy for people on our lists. Why not five a gift that will keep on giving. One gift will help 42 partner agencies.

If you have already done your shopping for this season, think about other times of the year when you are invited to anniversary and birthday parties, retirement parties and you just don’t know what to get. A gift to the United Way will take the guessing out of what to get them. Imagine how proud the honoree would feel opening a card with a message inside saying where the gift when in their name. Times are challenging in our world today. Please help our neighbors and together we will reach our goal. Last year alone, our 42 partner agencies helped over 80,000 individuals collectively.

PublicÊ needsÊ toÊ becomeÊ awareÊ To the Editor: The Advocacy & Resource Center provides supports to over 500 people with developmental disabilities. We have committed to advocate and protect people with developmental disabilities. It is critical for the community to be aware of how changes in funding are reducing services to the people we support.

Workshops can no longer accept new people. Changes must be made so that people will not be displaced.

The ARC has 22 residential homes in Clinton County. Unfortunately, the development of new homes is lagging behind the demand for them. This is true for adult children living at home with parents who have lost their ability to adequately care for them and provide for their future needs. Statewide, there are 6000 people living at home with developmental disabilities waiting for placement.

The ARC provides Respite Services for 80 families. With the projected funding cuts, respite services may be eliminated in the future.

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), our frontline staff, are the backbone of services for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.

The NYS Labor Commissioner has approved a plan to enact a $15 minimum wage for fast food workers. We are advocating that frontline works receive at least the same as fast food workers.

We want to make people aware of the issues and how they will impact people with developmental disabilities and their families. It matters to us. If it matters to you please write Governor Cuomo, call or email your Senators,

against their own countrymen. But during this rein of terror we are seeing just that across the world landscape as young men and women are being radicalized and turning their anger on their own people.

HolidayÊ ToteÊ DriveÊ inÊ session To the Editor: Seasons Greetings North Country Residents; It’s that time of the year when I bestow upon the generosity of community members, businesses and organizations to contribute to the Annual Holiday Meal (Christmas) Tote Drive.

Last holiday season, I delivered approximately 60 Meal Totes to families enduring financial difficulties, community members enduring health issues as well as senior citizens within the Townships of Jay and Black Brook. With the rising food costs this year, I anticipate the number of meals will surpass the amount from last holiday season.

Knowing community members will have a warm and delicious meal on Christmas day is a wonderful feeling. However, over the past four years of coordinating the Annual Meal Tote Drive, I have developed a rapport with so many of the recipients to the point where several of them are comfortable coming to my home to pick up their Tote or stop me on the street and ask to have his/her name placed on my confidentiality list.

I can prepare and deliver the Meal Totes but it is the generosity of the North Country community who truly make the Annual Meal Tote Drive a continued success.

The following items are greatly appreciated: Turkeys, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Canned Corn & Green Beans, Turkey Gravy, 5lbs Bags of Potatoes, Packaged Dinner Rolls and Apple Pies (Unfrozen, please).

Monetary contributions may be mailed to: Kelly C. Murphy/Event Coordinator/Annual Holiday Meal Tote Drive P.O. Box 386 Au Sable Forks/12912.

There was a time in this nation when, threatened by outside forces, we were able to set aside political differences and act for the good of the country making the safety of our citizens and the nation’s future our highest priority.

Those of us old enough to remember those days can only hope our leaders haven’t placed their interests before ours and a lesson once learned the hard way, need not be learned again.

T

his is Thanksgiving week--time for being grateful. It’s also a time to talk about sharing. I’m grateful for my family and friends and for being given the opportunity to live and work here for well over half a century. Kaye often says, “We have no secrets. You tell everybody everything.” I share what I have, except for pumpkin pie and turkey sandwiches.

I believe I was supposed to share my life and I’ve taken that obligation seriously. I began sharing good news and bad with people who listened to local radio in this region.

I knew early I should adopt a humble persona and decided to use a kind of radio nick name: Gordie Little, Who’s He? In other words, I’m nobody. What I do, such as playing records, interviewing people, reading news and weather and sports and sharing all of this with all with you, is the most important part.

That’s how it began and that’s how it continues, long after the radio career ended. I’ve been given the opportunity of doing a regular television program with Calvin Castine. I have written for this newspaper and another.

I’m allowed to write regular features for magazines. I’m happy to write and tell ghost stories, write children’s books and now—an adult coloring book.

For almost 36 years on the radio and during my tenure as a Crime Victims Advocate in Plattsburgh, I doodled while interviewing people. My doodles are odd, strange and very different. I signed and dated every one and Kaye saved them in boxes and drawers. The youngest of the Baker-Little offspring is Dr. Kirk Little, a psychologist in Ohio and Kentucky. He thrilled me by asking permission to “archive” those drawings—well over 5,000 of them. I agreed. He hauled them home and took many months to scan, photograph, categorize and catalogue every image and whatever news story, weather forecast or sports score might be on the other side of the paper they were drawn on.

Along came the adult coloring book phenomenon. It was a wave. I was led to grab my surfboard and ride. Those drawings, each signed “G.Little” and dated, revealed themselves as objects ripe for coloring. The signature looks like “Gittle,” thus the name “Gordie Little Gittles.” The book was printed and the fun began.

Who knows where this “Gittles” thing will lead? I’ll simply follow the yellow brick road or whatever color you choose to make it. Special thanks to Kim Mason, first to add her personal touch to a Gittle and post it on Facebook. Kaye says it should be framed.

I love to share everything about our “Little” house on the Saranac River and I am forever grateful for everyone who cares about what we do. Kaye and I hope you had the best Thanksgiving ever and that each day is better than the day before.

Lewis missile silo From page 1

In March, an unknown amount of water was pumped from the silo to allow for an inspection of the facility by a prospective buyer, a process that was not authorized by the permitting agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Only after a spill was the incident reported to the DEC. Eight months later, the waters remain muddied for elected officials and residents in this town of 1,300.

“Does anybody know what they’re doing up there?” Supervisor David Blades asked attendees at a town board meeting earlier this month. “Does anybody know?”

The room remained silent.

SHORT-LIVED STRATEGY The federal government constructed 107 missile bases across the country during the early 1960s, a post-Sputnik reaction to the arms race.

The Lewis site is one of a dozen built in a ring around the Plattsburgh Air Force Base in the early 1960s, the only cluster east of the Mississippi River.

Millions were spent constructing the structures — the Lewis site cost $200 million — which were driven 18 stories into the earth and designed to withstand a nuclear blast.

Inside were Atlas F intercontinental ballistic missiles topped with nuclear payloads. Guarded by crews standing 24hour watch, the four megaton warheads packed a punch 32 times larger than the device dropped on Hiroshima.

But the sites became obsolete as soon as they were finished, explained Ed Peden, a Topeka-based silo enthusiast who has brokered the sale of 59 facilities, including the Lewis site.

www.suncommunitynews.com

One reason was because the launch process was complicated. Once elevated, rocket propellant and liquid oxygen would be required for lift-off, a volatile combination. Failures weren’t uncommon at test launches. Four sites, said Peden, had explosions within them while active, making their presence nearly as dangerous to the locals as they were to the Soviets.

“It did make local populations a target,” said Peden. “Some could have blown up on the launchpad.”

Once the structures were built — construction took twoyears, a non-stop process of pouring solid concrete — the military had developed rocket fuel, a far more superior material. Titan 2 missiles then became the next weapon du jour.

The silos were decommissioned after four years of use and sold as surplus property, with most going to municipal governments and salvage operations.

87 HALE HILL ROAD Once decommissioned, the Lewis site saw a variety of uses over the years, including as a research base for SUNY Plattsburgh.

Peden made quick business brokering the sale of these structures, working as a middleman between the government and private buyers.

In July 1997, he organized the sale of the site from a salvage operator to Alexander Michael for $160,000.

Michael, an Australian national, told Smithsonian magazine he had always been “enchanted” by the idea of having his own piece of military-industrial history.

Over the next two decades, the industrial designer gradually restored the site into a living space.

The finished house over the silo spans 1,800 square feet and was the subject of several glossy magazine profiles. Michael, who flew in twice annually to work on the project, threw lavish parties, held art installations and even gave himself a nickname — Silo Boy. By 2012, Michael had sunk $350,000 into the project. But the water continued to trickle in.

A 40-foot subterranean tunnel connects the home to the silo. A staircase winds down 125 feet into the bedrock, leading to two additional levels of living space, including the former launch control center encased in three-foot thick concrete walls reinforced with stainless steel mesh.

The retro chic belies a more sobering reality.

Over time, decaying electronic equipment and waste materials, including solvents and paint chips, have mixed with water that entered the silo through a ventilation shaft and the roof, which was kept open for decades because the 90-ton doors were unable to be closed.

It’s here where a layer of toxic sludge has accrued for the past half-century, encased in a layer of clear water.

Tasked with the clean up is a newly-formed LLC with no paper trail.

PUMP, CLEAN AND DUMP On May 14, a group called Diversified Upstate Enterprises, LLC, or DUE, filed a notice of formation with the secretary of state of New York.

Six days later, in Sydney, Australia, Michael signed an indenture of sale to DUE for $575,000.

A deed was then recorded in the Essex County clerk’s office on June 8.

Little else is known about DUE. Aside from a Washington, D.C.-based mailing address, the only other clue to their identity is that they, or someone affiliated with their organization, would like to use the site as a center to monitor seismic activity, said Blades, the Lewis town supervisor, citing a brief on-site discussion.

Michael did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Work at the site has already begun.

Some water has been pumped into a pair of 20,000 gallon storage tanks and is awaiting treatment, said David Winchell, a spokesman for the DEC. On Sept. 14, the agency reviewed a state pollutant discharge elimination system permit, or SPDES, from DUE. If approved, the organization can then begin treating the water using a triple-filter process to remove contaminants, including lead, heavy metals and PCBs. Once cleared by samples and tests, the plan is to pump up to 40,000 gallons per day of the water into a low-lying stormwater pond adjacent to the silo.

Lead levels clock in at 15,200 mg/kg; PCBs, 17 mg/kg.

Once the sludge has been carted off-site and out of Essex County, any additional water that accumulates at the bottom of the silo will be pumped directly into the retainment area, said Winchell.

The water will require sustained monitoring.

The operation appears to be a standard one. But open questions remain, including those discussed by town officials at a meeting earlier this month, such as who will conduct the work, monitor the project and who, exactly, is behind the application.

The DEC has until Dec. 14 to issue or deny the permit, said Winchell. A decision will likely come before then. Pumping and treatment could begin immediately after the project is

given the green light, with work expected to be completed in one week.

DARK WATERS Winchell admitted that while a permit related to the pumping and treating of water from a former missile silo is unusual, the agency issues many industrial SPDES permits each year.

The DEC conducted the usual notifications, he said.

Two days after reviewing the materials, the agency published a notice in the Environmental Notice Bulletin providing a summary of the project and seeking public comment.

Blades was provided notice of the complete application and notice followed in a daily newspaper two days later.

At least 20 residences are located within a mile of the property, which is located about five miles north of the hamlet.

Some homeowners feel as if they have been kept in the dark.

“That’s the part that is disturbing,” said Lanita Canavan, who lives nearby with Dan, her husband.

One local company, NYCO Minerals, has a policy of sending homeowners letters whenever work is being done that may affect them, said Canavan.

“The DEC does not run that way,” she said.

Blades, too, said the communication process between all parties — the state, homeowners, local officials and DUE — has been lacking.

“It bothers me because I think it’s important that we know what’s going on in our backyard,” said Blades.

Residents say the stakes are high because a leak or spill could not only degrade the environment, but could also contaminate the water supply.

“I’m deeply concerned,” said John Wimett, who lives on Route 9, about a half-mile downhill from the site.

Wimett’s water is derived from a spring-fed system sunk 11 feet deep in the ground.

Veins come down the hill and are collected in a cement box. A buried gravity-fed line draws the water into his house, where a basement pump prepares it for usage.

After learning of the plans through community chatter, Wimett drew samples and had them tested.

The results came back clean, with just trace elements of copper from the supply lines.

Wimett said now that he has a baseline, he will keep a close eye on the project. Three other wells spread across his 65 acres feed additional family residences.

“If something turns up after that, it’s kind of obvious where it’s coming from,” said Wimett. “I’ve used this water system for 50 years. I enjoy the spring water and am not ready to invest in a well if something should happen up there.”

Wimett, 74, has a long relationship with the site, which abuts his land to the west. The federal government even asked for an easement to gain access to the driveway that leads into the facility, which is set back from the road and restricted from public access.

Residents say they’re not necessarily opposed to the plan — removing the toxic elements may end up being a good thing, some pointed out — but were rather concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding the project.

Wimett’s daughter, Tina Bigelow, said the paucity of information is part of a troubling pattern that has always existed when dealing with the silo site.

Results from the water samples taken from the site in March indicated they did not exceed groundwater standards for any contaminants, said the DEC. But Bigelow said while she did not have any definitive proof, she couldn’t help but wonder if the site had negatively affected her health over the years.

“Every single one of us girls has had thyroid issues,” said Bigelow, a cancer survivor, citing a list of family members.

Many other residents in this tightly-knit community echoed similar sentiments, that folks just seemed to get sicker here.

Bigelow and her husband had a spring dug after building their home. Not long after, their second son was born.

The boy was sickly, suffering from fistulas and nausea. The Bigelows ran tests. When the results came back, they learned the water was loaded with bacteria and chloroform.

“The longer it was boiled, the browner it got,” Bigelow said.

Dye dropped into toilet tanks and sewers revealed those sources were not poisoning the spring, recalled her brother, Tom Wimett.

When the family broached the subject of the silo as a possible source of the contamination with officials from the state health department, they had an about-face.

“We’re done with the investigation,” Bigelow recalled the officials as saying.

They also advised them to obtain legal counsel.

The family left it alone. For years, they hauled water before grant funds allowed the town to conduct new drilling projects.

Since word started trickling out about the new buyers, Tom, who resides on Hale Hill Road, said he has noticed increased activity on the sparsely-populated street — like convoys of trucks moving covered loads in the middle of the night.

“Something’s fishy,” he said. “They’re messing with Pandora’s box once they start pumping that water out.” >> Story Continued | pg. 9

NAGGING DOUBTS The water is currently safe to drink.

Due to the depth of the silo and the fact that it is built in watertight bedrock, it is currently not impacting groundwater and the drinking water taken from nearby residential wells, said Winchell.

Following the spill earlier this spring, a test well was installed on-site.

The applicant, said Winchell, plans on running a closed loop test of the system in which no water will be released before the permit is issued. Monitoring of these results will determine the effectiveness of the system.

“DEC is confident that the project will protect the water quality of nearby residential drinking wells,” said Winchell.

Canavan said while he suspects DUE will legally do everything right, he questioned their commitment to the environment.

He has visited the property in the past and said the proposed containment area appears to

be undersized.

What would happen if it contaminated the surrounding area? he asked. Who would be liable? What about possible damage to Church Brook and the surrounding wetlands?

“It’s been proven time and time again that corporations and big government get it wrong environmentally on a heartbreaking, regular basis,” wrote Canavan in a letter to the DEC. Peden, the silo expert, said he was surprised that testing didn’t reveal the presence of trichloroethylene, or TCEs, byproducts from degreasing agents.

“It’s a very common contaminant found on Atlas sites,” said Peden, who lives in one. “It’s a nasty substance.”

The volatile organic chemical is a colorless or blue liquid with a chloroform-like odor.

According to the EPA, those who drink water containing the substance in excess of the maximum contaminant level for many years could experience problems with their liver and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

Peden said he didn’t want to raise alarm bells. But the US Corp of Engineers, he said, should be tasked with cleanup and remediation as part of their Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program.

“The state should not have to do those types of measures,” said Peden.

Local officials visited the restricted site in mid-October. While they didn’t notice any activity, it doesn’t necessarily mean that something did not happen in the interim period, said Blades.

Prompted by audience members, Blades admitted the town was continuing to scramble for answers: Who will notify residents in the event of a spill? Who will be responsible for taking samples and testing the water?

“We’ll continue to try to make sure that what’s happening is legitimate,” said the supervisor, who is retiring at the end of December. “We will continue to monitor what goes on there as a town — it is our responsibility.”

Supervisor-elect James Monty said the town will send a formal letter to the new owners asking them to detail their plans for the site.

“It’d be nice to know what their plan is,” said Monty. “No one really formally knows.”

On a golden autumn afternoon, John Wimett motioned through the trees— stately firs, spruce and pines — up toward the site.

The sun glinted through the forest.

He used to watch tests in the early 1960s. The doors would open and the rocket would rise each morning at 5 a.m.

“It looked like a silver bullet,” Wimett recalled. “Now we don’t know what’s going

RAY BROOK — The man who ended the largest manhunt in state history was honored last month by his peers and this

The Malone-based trooper opened fire before fugitive David Sweat got to the tree line, hitting him twice in the torso, wounding him and bringing to a close a three-week hunt for the two escapees from Clinton Correctional Facility.

Sweat was one of two inmates who escaped from the Clinton County Correctional Facility in Danemora June 6, leading to a 23-day manhunt which ended in the death of co-conspirator Richard Matt June 26, characterized by meticulous sophistication and planning that authorities believe took months, if not years to execute.

Immediately apprehending the fugitive, Cook ended a manhunt that involved over 1,300 law enforcement officers. Sweat was serving a life sentence for shooting Deputy Sheriff Kevin Tarsla of the Broome County (NY) Sheriff ’s Office. Sweat shot Deputy Sheriff Tarsla 15 times and then ran him over with a vehicle on July 4, 2002.

“Sgt. Cook’s recognition of the fugitive and his quick response in apprehending the suspect were integral to capturing a cop-killer and securing a community that had been on high alert,” Memorial Fund Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Craig W. Floyd said. “His brave actions are deserving of our 2015 November Officer of the Month Award.”

A few weeks earlier, Cook was the recipient of the Troop Commander’s Exceptional Performance Award from Troop B Commander Charles Guess Oct. 28 at the New York State Police Troop B Awards and Retirement Luncheon at the Malone Golf Course.

“Sgt. Cook happened to be from Troop B, which is this area, so he knew the area very well,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “But he was still alone and it was a very courageous act.”

“Sgt. Cook did an excellent job,” NYSP Superintendent Joseph D’Amico said. “He realized Sweat was going to make it to a tree line, and possibly could have disappeared—and he fired two shots from his service weapon.”

Troopers, civilians honored Guess also presented the Outstanding Service to Troop B award to Border Patrol Agent-in-Charge Norman M. Lague of the Champlain office as well as the New York State Department of Corrections, Director of CERT Operations Col. Dennis W. Bradford. Both organizations played pivital roles during the search for Matt and Sweat.

Guess also presented plaques and letters acknowledging the dedicated performance of duty to sworn members and civilian staff. Recently retired members from Troop “B” were also recognized for their years of dedicated service to the New York State Police.

Recipients included: Non Commissioned Officer of the Year: Technical Sergeant Christopher M. Giovazzino, Communications Supervisor Troopers of the Year: Zone 1 – Trooper Anthony R. Cordick; Zone 2 – Trooper Craig S. Thornhill; Zone 3 – Trooper Christopher N. Bogart BCI Unit of the Year - SP Chazy Bureau of Criminal Investigation (Acting Sr. Investigator Jason J. Pelkey, Investigator George E. Dyer, Investigator Richard A. Hoff, Investigator Angela M. Toohill, Investigator Richard A. Gilmore, Investigator Matthew J.

Eggleston; Sr. Investigator Andrew S. Gayeskie; Zone Sergeant Daniel K. Shea; Sergeant/SC Luella C. Fisher; T/ Sergeant Terrence C. Maguire; Investigator Michael N. Bousquet; Investigator Joel L.

Trooper who ended manhunt honored at annual luncheon

month by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Technical Sgt. Jay Cook, TIMS Unit Supervisor, received the Officer of the Month Award from the Memorial Fund for November. He will be honored with the other 2015 recipients during a special ceremony to be held during National Police Week in Washington, D.C., in May. The award recognizes federal, state, and local officers who distinguish themselves through exemplary law enforcement service and devotion to duty.

On June 28, Cook was supervising a perimeter post in the town of Constable when he noticed a man jogging along the side of the road.

Cook stopped, exited his vehicle and yelled to the man, who turned around before taking off like a thunderbolt into an open field, according to State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico.

Mighty Matthew From page 1

in January 2008.

Matthew’s intestines and stomach don’t work properly. He currently has a feeding tube in stomach in which he receives his nutrition.

Because of his illnesses, Matthew visits Boston every three months in two different hospitals and sees 10 to 12 different doctors.

Although Matthew’s road has been tough, he fought, and is still fighting, through it alongside Terry, his mother, Lisa, and older brothers Bradley (19) and Steven (17).

He also got through it with the help of his superhero persona that began when he was 5 years old as a handmade Halloween costume.

“He came up with the name,” Terry said, “and it stuck with him.”

PLATTSBURGH’S OWN SUPERHERO Over the course of his diagnosis, Matthew

has not only become a fan to residents of Plattsburgh, but the North Country.

In the summer of 2012, Matthew received keys to the City of Plattsburgh. He also joined SUNY Plattsburgh’s baseball team in November 2014.

In Lewis, Matthew took on the role of an Essex County Sheriff ’s deputy on a mission to track down two notorious lollipop bandits in town.

Terry stated that the family tries their best to get Matthew out and about in the community to raise awareness for his condition.

In return, the community has come together a number of times to raise money and support Plattsburgh’s local hero — something he truly appreciates.

“It’s amazing how people are helping me so much just because I’m in the hospital,” Mighty Matthew said. “I just want to say thank you so much for all of it.”
