North American Taxi expands into P’burgh

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — For a little over a year, North America Taxi has been serving the Plattsburgh area, providing transportation services for Medicaid recipients.

“If you’re unable to get to an appointment due to being incompetent to drive or can’t drive at all, we provide that courteous service for people,” said Tony Armstrong, manager of North America Taxi for the northeast region.

“We provide that at no cost directly to the enrollee themselves.”

By receiving funds through the person’s Medicaid provider, they’re willing to pick

up people anywhere in New York and bring them not only elsewhere in the state, but also neighboring ones such as Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Vermont, for medical appointments or procedures.

Hypothetically, Armstrong said, they go all over the country.

North America Taxi offers five cars in the Plattsburgh area, five cars in the Ticonderoga area, two in Albany, two in Syracuse and one in New York City.

“With more people obtaining Medicaid services, and there not being enough drivers working for JCEO and the Department of Social Services, it was creating a financial hardship just to hire more staff,” Armstrong said.

“That’s why we’re willing to pick up anywhere in New York and we have drivers set up all over.”

After calling the Medicaid answering service at 1-800-850-8540, one will need to provide basic pieces of information, including address, primary doctor, health history and whether they need something more than a car, such as an ambulance service. Call three days ahead to schedule a trip.

“It’s a great way to utilize resources,” Armstrong said. “By using this service, it’s going to save you money and help you gain a relationship with the common driver you have that would take you to your appointments in the future.”

From bus and ambulance assembly at SpencerARL to Global Sugar Art’s baking supply business

PLATTSBURGH — The Sun embarked on a tour of two of the several companies within The Development Corporation: SpencerARL and Global Sugar Art. The tour took place Aug. 13, consisting of Publisher Dan Alexander and his wife, Teah Gayle, Melissa Johnston of the New York Dowling Writer State Department of Labor and TDC’s President and CEO Paul Grasso, Facilities Manager Roger Livernois and Director of Marketing and Business Development Joanne Dahlen.

The first stop on the tour was SpencerARL. SPENCERARL TRANSIT Plant Manager John Vermette led the tour of SpencerARL — a company with services that range from manufacturing and assembly to logistics and warehousing.

Vermette took the group through their current major tran-

sition to get ready for a big ramp up to produce four complete Nova Bus buses and one Prevost bus a day. Right now, they’re making two buses a day for Novabus and one for Prevost.

Vermette broke it down into a four step process: picking up bus material, assembling it, delivering it and Novabus installing it.

“We have a lot of stuff going on,” Vermette said. “We have a couple of challenges right from the gate because we have to get in there and learn the system, learn the quality and be able to perform the same quality at a cheaper rate.”

After learning more about the buses, Vermette led the tour into another area where a secret was announced: an assembly line for ambulances.

In this section of SpencerARL, the ambulances go through several assembly stations, fewer in number when compared to a larger ambulance assembly line due to more at each station.

The stations strip the vehicles apart, take out the seats, in-

CHAMPLAIN — Northeastern Clinton Central School has replaced Lisa Grenville as its superintendent.

According to Grenville’s attorney, Richard Hunter, the district, in a personnel decision, has placed her on administrative leave.

Though NCCS is still paying Grenville and she intends to fulfill her two years of her contract, Hunter said it remains to be seen whether the district will fulfill that agreement.

Effective on Monday, Aug. 24, Rouses Point Elementary Principal Robb Garrand has been appointed acting superintendent.

The decision to appoint Garrand was made on Sunday at an emergency board meeting. He was unable to make any comments about Grenville at the time.

Over the course of this summer, Grenville, who joined the district in July 2014, dealt with a twice-defeated budget — making several staffing cuts for the upcoming school year, including one full-time administrator and one full-time special education teacher.

Rouses Point FD gets grant for safety equipment

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY— Port Henry firefighters will be breathing a little easier thanks to a federal grant officials were awarded in July.

At a recent meeting, village board members lauded Fire Chief Jim Hughes for receiving a $108,420 grant to purchase breathing apparatuses.

U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced the grant in a statement last month. The money was made available through a grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Through the statement, Hughes said he’s grateful the department’s request was granted. “We desperately needed this funding and it is extremely appreciated.”

In a separate grant, the Rouses Point fire department was awarded 29,524 to purchase protective gear for EMS personnel.

More information on the specifics of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program can be accessed at www.firegrantsupport.com.

The first session of the summer school was held in New London, Connecticut in July 1892, said Brogowski during the ceremony.

After some consideration, the Delaware and Hudson Railway proposed to donate 400

acres in front of Lake Champlain to put the summer school in what is now Cliff Haven.

From 1896 to 1941, the Catholic Summer School of America was a nationally famous summer destination for Catholic families, distinguished leaders of the Catholic Church of America, prominent lecturers, numerous New York governors and a few U.S. presidents, including William McKinley and William Howard Taft.

At the time, Cliff Haven was filled with over 20 cottages, a large white auditorium for educational purposes and performances and a large chapel with nine altars.

Along with being both educational and religious, it was also very oriented around outdoor recreation — a place where people could go swimming, boating, canoeing, horseback riding and golfing on a 18-hole golf course.

“It was a religious Catholic community place where they could go for summer vaca-

CATHOLIC SUMMER SCHOOL

Cliff Haven resident and CSSA Historian Roger Black and Clinton County Historical Association President Helen Nerska revealed the new historic marker in Cliff Haven honoring the Catholic Summer School of America.

•MY

CLIFF HAVEN — The Clinton County Historical Association and the Town of Plattsburgh celebrated the history of Cliff Haven as the location of the Catholic Summer School of America with a historical roadside marker.

The dedication ceremony was held Sunday, Aug. 23 at 1 p.m. on the median between the southern end of Lakeshore Drive and Route 9 with speakers, including the Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett, Plattsburgh Town Historian and Cliff Haven Homeowners Association President Richard Brogowski and Clinton County Historical Association President Helen Nerska.

“It’s just amazing what took place at this lake, the Town of Plattsburgh and the Champlain Valley,” Bassett said. “I commend the Cliff Haven Homeowners Association, our historians and the people who simply care about the past.”

Following the dedication ceremony, people flocked over to the Clinton County Historical Association Museum for a 2 p.m. presentation with Cliff Haven resident and CSSA Historian Roger Black, featuring a photo-rich virtual walking tour of the Catholic Summer School of America.

“I’ve been researching the Catholic Summer School of America for many years now,” Black said. “I’m very pleased to see this sign here.”

The new historic marker was made possible by the Historic Roadside Marker Program through the William G. Pomeroy Foundation.

The foundation launched its Historic Roadside Marker Program in 2006 to erect markers in towns and villages within Onondaga County. In 2010, the program was expanded to other counties in New York and kept expanding throughout the years until April 2012 when they expanded the program to include all municipalities as eligible grant recipients.

The foundation, CCHA director Melissa Peck said, strongly believes that historic markers play an important role in local historic preservation by serving a dual purpose: educating the public and fostering historic tourism.

“I see historic markers all the time and they not only commemorate a person or a historic event, but they really provide a window into our past, into a period that has long gone that really made a difference in our area,” Nerska said. “It reminds you, especially in this case, how the past and the magnificence of an entirely different area of a destination of national and international importance benefited our entire area.”

SUNY P’burgh restricts tobacco to assigned areas

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Students, faculty and staff returned SUNY Plattsburgh Aug. 24 to find many new changes: the biggest being the restriction of tobacco products on campus grounds.

The SUNY Plattsburgh Tobacco Restricted Campus Policy took effect Aug. 15 to limit tobacco use to a limited number of parking lots.

Bryan Hartman, vice president for student affairs at SUNY Plattsburgh, said the goal was to go completely tobacco free.

However, due to the college’s bargaining units not being supportive of this, they decided to become tobacco restricted.

Because of the nature of their work, some workers are unable to leave campus during their lunch break, giving them the options of violating the policy and getting into trouble or quitting smoking.

“When we realized we hit a hurdle, we tried to find what’s still a step forward without going all the way,” Hartman said.

“It’s still a significant step for us.

“Not everyone is happy with it and some believe we didn’t go far enough, but it’s going to be a long process of changing that norm on this campus.”

POLICY DETAILS Permitted-use areas are the main parking lot in front of the Field House and the parking lot to the west of the Field House prior to driving to Chip Cummings Field, five parking lots signed for faculty and staff parking, five parking lots signed for off-campus students parking and two parking lots for on-

campus student parking.

“If we said all parking lots, it would erode our current smoking policy because some parking lots are right next to our buildings,” Hartman said. “We didn’t want that, so that’s why we picked certain parking lots strategically.”

This new policy includes restriction on all tobacco and tobacco-derived products intended for human consumption, including tobacco, clove cigarettes, cigars, pipes, hookah-smoked products, bidis, kreteks, electronic cigarettes or “vapes,” smokeless tobacco or “chew” and snus.

It doesn’t include cessation products specifically approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in treating nicotine or tobacco dependence.

It applies to all members of the college community, including faculty, staff, students, volunteers, trainees, consultants, contracted staff, vendors, guests and visitors.

REINFORCING RESTRICTION Promoting of the policy and educational and outreach efforts will take place throughout the semester.

Anyone who observes a violation is encouraged to courteously, without confrontation, inform the individual of the college’s restriction policy in an effort to educate the community.

Non-compliance during the first of the policy’s implementation will prompt an educational response.

Starting Aug. 1, 2016, violators will be referred to the appropriate department for review and resolution. For employees, this will be in accordance with their collective bargaining agreements.

“There are no smoking police and there will not be smoking police,” Hartman said. “Some people will violate this, but this

coming year is about education.”

Also, the college encourages all members of the college community to refrain on using tobacco products on the sidewalks of streets owned by the city.

Hartman said the college has no plans currently to make a request to the City of Plattsburgh to make city streets running through the campus tobacco free.

HELPING ADDICTION Hartman said the college recognizes that tobacco is an addictive substance and ceasing its use is difficult. So, the college is providing information about cessation services for all members of the campus community.

“There’s nothing wrong with smokers,” Hartman said. “It’s an addiction and we need to respect that, but that’s a personal choice.

“It’s a respect issue from my perspective and this is a positive step forward.”

Faculty and staff members who wish to quit can contact the New York State Smokers’ Quit Line at 886-697-8487 or the Employee Assistance Program at 518-564-4177.

Students who wish to quit can contact the Student Health and Counseling Center for cessation techniques, support and products to assist in the process.

Tobacco-restriction signs will be erected in parking lots across campus. Permitted-use lots are referenced on the official SUNY Plattsburgh campus map: web.plattsburgh.edu/ maps/index.php.

For more information on the tobacco restriction policy, contact Hartman at 518-564-2280 or visit www.plattsburgh. edu.

Peru Memorial VFW Auxiliary now accepting men

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PERU — The previously known Peru Memorial VFW Ladies Auxiliary now accepts male members and changed its name to the Peru Memorial VFW Auxiliary.

The 116th National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and Ladies Auxiliary took place July 18-22.

The delegates of the VFW passed a resolution to change the name of “the Ladies Auxiliary” to “the Auxiliary” effective 30 days after passing the resolution — making membership no longer limited to women.

“Through the last five to 10 years, membership has decreased,” said Judy Lefebvre, president of the Peru Memorial VFW Auxiliary. “Women years ago were busy, but most

of them didn’t work outside their homes and it gave them extra time that they could help.

“With today’s women, that’s harder and harder to do.”

Effective Aug. 21, membership is now limited to spouses, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren of a person who was or is eligible for membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.

Lefebvre was a delegate to the convention.

“I’ve accepted it...I wasn’t necessarily in favor of it to start with, but I realized it very well could benefit us in a number of ways,” she said. “Our membership numbers are important and this will give us extra manpower.”

Lefebvre explained how she and the rest of the Ladies Auxiliary tried to create a men’s

auxiliary through the auxiliary post. However, they weren’t able to establish one due to them not having the time to run an office.

Now, men — up to two generations from and related by blood to a veteran who served overseas in a hazardous duty area, such as Desert Storm — are eligible for membership.

For more information or to apply, contact Lefebvre at biljud@aol.com, 518-563-7558 or 518-593-5628.

“We would love to have them here, but, essentially, we want them to join somewhere,” she said. “We want their numbers, we want their participation and we want them to be able to recognize the importance of their relationship with their veteran.

“We have a good group of people here who work hard and we have fun at the same time.”

Tour takes bloggers deep into Northern New York

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — A crew of international travel and lifestyle bloggers took a whirlwind tour of the North Country earlier this month.

Branded as #EatPlayLoveNY, the outing was designed by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism to drum up interest in local destinations by using these tastemakers to influence their readers, who collectively number in the hundreds of thousands, to follow their lead and book their own trips.

After touching down in Montreal, the group kicked off their six-day stint at Point Au Roche State Park in Plattsburgh, where they navigated a short stretch of the 14-mile trail network. Later that day, they found themselves waist-deep in the AuSable River with a Wilmington-based fly fishing guide, casting off with the hopes of reeling in a winner.

The rest of the week was a blur packed with the blend of outdoor recreation, from hiking in Tupper Lake to kayaking near Wellesley Island, and whimsical experiences that have come to define the Adirondack brand: Amazing. Magnificent. Stunning. Beautiful, said the bloggers.

Of course, they chronicled each canoe ride and pitstop on social media, hammering out a steady stream of commentary, selfies, pics and plugs to their followers across the world, who ate up the experience in real time across a wide spectrum of platforms, from Twitter to Instagram.

“I absolutely love it here,” said Sandy Allen, an Ottawa resident who blogs at Canadian Blog House. “I am loving the Adirondacks.”

The tour is just one prong of ROOST’s strategy to promote tourism destinations across the North Country.

While the agency develops and shares their own promotional content, they also prioritize the cultivation of relationships with online influencers and travel bloggers, explained Communications Director Kim Reilly.

“By hosting these online storytellers on familiarization tours, we facilitate the creation of first-person accounts of the Adirondack visitor experience,” said Reilly, “and leverage those influencers’ social media networks to amplify them.”

Shortly afterward the bloggers departed, the posts went up.

Vicky Philpott, a London-based writer who blogs at Vicky Flip Flop Travels, hammered out a series of entries diving into the region’s history, activities and the emerging microbrewery industry, including Paradox Brewery in Schroon Lake.

She ticked off the names of the beaver-themed brews.

“I’d love to come back here for the special events,” wrote Philpott. “Fun staff and a great spot for a beer in the sun.”

Allen said she was blown away by her first visit to the region and thinks her fellow Canadians will react similarly.

Fort Ticonderoga was magnificent, she said, while she found Plattsburgh to be a “beautiful little town.”

When she touched back down on her home turf, Allen gave her readers “11 Reasons Why You Need to Visit the Adirondacks and Northern New York State!”

“After returning from a whirlwind tour of the Adirondacks and upper New York State, I’ve been left to wonder — why did it take me 47 years to discover this stunning region that lies so close to home?” wrote Allen. “I have no answer. Just a little regret… and a whole lot of catching up to do.”

Readers and fellow bloggers immediately began sounding

off.

“I’m embarrassed to say that I have never even heard of the Adirondacks,” wrote DeBalino, a blogger who writes a kidsstyle blog, BabyStylista. “Not even sure how to pronounce it.

But what an amazing place! The food looks divine and the scenery is breathtaking. I go to New York quite a bit and would love to take a detour and check out this wonderful place.”

This conversation is part of the strategy, explained Reilly.

The majority of traveling planning occurs online. Since conversations about Adirondack destinations are already happening there, the goal is to open up conversations during the “dream” stage of the visitor’s planning process.

Following tours, ROOST monitors media coverage and increased word of mouth to track elements of success.

Since this group used a common hashtag on all platforms — #EatPlayLoveNY (think of it like an online road map) — and was provided with destination website addresses to include in their blogs, Reilly and her team will be able to track trends and activity via analytics tools and measure the effectiveness of each blogger.

Nearly after two weeks after the crew fanned back out across the world, the #EatPlayLoveNY hashtag continued to crackle as posts continued to be shared, remixed and picked up by other outlets, including large online travel communities like Those Who Wander.

Erin Musich, who writes at the World Wanderer, said the trip was transformative.

“It’s changed my understanding of the area,” said Musich, who lives in the NYC metro area. “Hopefully it’ll make them visit the region and see something unexpected and how something so close to home could be so different.”

TwoÊ breweriesÊ toÊ openÊ atÊ PÕ burghÊ Barracks Valcour Brewing to conjure up revolutionary brews

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — People will soon be able to taste a revolutionary brew at the new Valcour Brewing Company.

Located at the Plattsburgh Barracks, this brewing company is a craft beer brewery that will also feature an inn, restaurant and general store — all run by owners Mary Pearl and Terry Schmaltz.

“The craft beverage industry has been booming,” Pearl said.

“And we’ve been interested in brewing for a while.”

After brewing out of their home, the owners decided to buy the Old Stone Barracks building — the last remaining structure of a proposed quadrangle of early U.S. Army barracks built in 1838 — in November 2014.

“We had looked at a possibility in Peru, but then we saw this building for sale,” Pearl said. “It seemed that this would be better because we could save the building and still open our brewery.”

They started with deconstruction work, which consisted of taking out the old piping and wall barriers, including over

The new Valcour Brewing Company sign.

10 tons of cast iron and 20 tons of wood. Once they got their building permit June 1, they started construction on the tasting room, brewery, kitchens, bedrooms, restrooms, offices and more.

The rustic interior of the tasting room, with exposed wood beams from 1838, will house numerous museum-like artifacts and feature historical photographs, paintings, periodic artwork, a 6 foot model replica of the Old Stone Barracks and three wood burning fireplaces.

At the unique wood carved tasting bar, a variety of brews will be served, including Copper Nails, a Belgian inspired amber ale with a toasty, biscuit-like malt favor, and Magnetic North, a black IPA that has the appearance of a stout but combines a roasted malty character with the aroma of an American IPA. The brews will be made downstairs by head brewmaster and executive chef Rob Davis, who is a multiple award winning brewer. He’s earned repeated honors, including the Matthew Vassar Cup; gold, silver and bronze metals in Tap NY beer festivals; and a Hudson Valley Beer Festival gold medal.

Surrounding the tasting room, which also has a viewing area of the downstairs brewery, will be a small dining area next to the downstairs kitchen that will serve pub-style food such as sandwiches, salads and wraps.

Guests can request to use a special area upstairs equipped with its own kitchen with a diverse menu for parties and other social events for up to 100 people. Down the hall of the special events area and kitchen will be offices, restrooms and guest rooms — having six total upstairs and downstairs with one being handicap accessible.

Along with a handicap accessible bedroom on the first floor, they’re incorporating a downstairs handicap bathroom, elevator and a handicap ramp to enter the building.

Outside, they’re planning on expanding the parking lot and using the area in front and around the building for outdoor events such as concerts on the green.

The total project setup totals over $1 million and they hope to have the first floor area, the tasting room and the brewery

operational by late fall of this year.

“People should come here to experience this bit of history in Plattsburgh in one of the oldest buildings on the base and see the repurposing of this building,” Pearl said. “I hope it will become a destination for not just the people in Plattsburgh, but people outside of the state.

“Also, if you like good beer, you’ll get it here.”

Oval Craft Brewing to serve up brews and good times

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Oval Craft Brewing started off as a lifelong dream of Jerry Jolicoeur.

Jolicoeur started home brewing in 1997, took a few classes in brewing techniques and wondered whether his dream could be possible up until the right people tasted his brews and suggested him to grow it more.

“It’s something I’ve always thought about, but I never thought it would be realistic,” he said. “I decided to give it a shot.”

Jolicoeur leased the old firehouse buildings within the Plattsburgh Barracks, also known as the Old Base, on Ohio Avenue in early May 2015.

During that time, Jolicoeur’s family and friends came from around the United States to help make his dream come true by helping with painting and construction.

Jolicoeur hopes to complete construction of the handicap accessible Oval Craft Brewing either in November or December of this year.

“It’s in a place where there’s a perfect combination of residences, businesses and resources,” he said. “I’m hoping that my brewery will be a community and neighborhood space.”

This new brewery will be equipped with a tasting room with a bar, additional seating area, event room for approximately 45 people and an on-site brewery where he, the owner/ brewmaster, will create all his brews.

Owner and head brewmaster Jerry Jolicoeur (left) stands with his daughter Quinn, son Elijah, brother Curry, Uncle Maynard and Aunt Sylvia in what’s going to become Oval Craft Brewing.

The plan is to have four beers — IPAs, lagers, ales and more — year round and offer two rotating taps as seasonals.

Also, instead of offering a dining room menu, Jolicoeur hopes to get local restaurants and food trucks to sell their food on the premises.

In the future, depending on how the operation turns out, Jolicoeur might hire a full-time brewmaster and chef to start cooking food in the building’s kitchen, incorporate a beer garden outside and set up a variety of different events, such as a modified triathlon featuring kayaking, hiking and mountain biking, instead of biking, running and swimming, to get more involved in the community.

“I want this to be the kind of place where when someone

walks in, they’re welcome,” he said. “I want this place to be a very friendly and welcoming space for people.”

Workmanship & Pride

ast week I, along with my wife Gayle who handles our administrative finances, and a Sun Community News Reporter Teah Dowling were privileged to be invited to tour the Air and the Banker Road Industrial Parks in the Town of Plattsburgh. These two industrial centers, under the management of The Development Corporation (TDC), represents a significant economic boost to the region. Conducting the tour was Paul Grasso TDC CEO, Roger Livernois, Facilities Manager, and Joanne Dahlen, TDC Director of Marketing and Business Development.

We were also accompanied

by Mellisa Johnston a Business Service Representative for the NYS Department of Labor.

It’s no surprise that Plattsburgh recently earned the second place rank of Best Micropolitan City for Economic Potential in North and South America.

We were treated to an up close tour of SpencerARL conducted by John Vermette and Global Sugar Art, conducted by Alan Tetreault. These two fascinating operations have seen significant growth over the recent past primarily due to their ability be creative. It was here that we were able to get an inside look at how these two businesses have leveraged their skills and those of their labor force to create successful business models by meeting the unique needs of their customers.

We hear a lot about businesses who’ve outsourced American jobs overseas and we’ve seen major northeast cities in what’s commonly called the “Rust Belt” struggle to keep their workforce engaged and employed. When all is said and done, until something is built and sold there is no economic impact. But in today’s highly competitive, high tech environment these businesses have flourished in very unique ways and if not for the hard work by our local workforce, these businesses just might be somewhere else.

The true secret to economic prosperity has always been and will continue to be a team effort between community leaders, developers, manufactures and the local workforce, each respecting each others role and each dedicated to quality workmanship and pride in a job well done. As a community we can be proud of the efforts these hard working folks do to contribute to our regional economy.

Find your voice, and use it S

chool’s back.

Good times lie ahead: Football games under the lights. Crisp fall nights. Friends, both old and new.

But it seems like the golden days of autumn always give way too swiftly to the harsh realities of school budget season.

Each year, spring is marked by the same refrain: A collective, desperate appeal from school board members and officials for public attendance at their monthly meetings.

And each year, their overture usually falls upon deaf ears and empty chairs.

Perhaps a hot-button issue will occasionally muster an impassioned crowd.

But we’ve found that attendees overwhelmingly only turn out for their own rational self interests, leaving officials frustrated and exasperated at the disconnect between the community and schools, which singularly act as their beating hearts.

With the beginning of the academic year right around the corner, let’s address this now rather than wait it out for budget season when administrators are tearing out their hair with frustration.

Go to meetings. Please. Your voice is important.

While admittedly a humdrum affair, especially when they drag on late into the evenings, board meetings are an integral aspect of the successful operation of public schools.

Critical changes lie ahead here in the North Country. Districts are still navigating the divide left by the Gap Elimination Adjustment. Programs continue to be slashed, while districts are exploring ways to share services.

Without the inclusion of public discourse, administrators and board members are left to their own devices in navigating these obstacles.

The broader ramifications aren’t just shared services, but rather a gradual cultural shift in which the once rigid lines between districts and communities are becoming malleable and squishy.

Some even are beginning to question the identities of their communities.

But our population is both contracting and growing older.

Gone are the days when our hamlets had a working family in each house, and recent trends suggest that, nationwide, the value of voting is lost on the young, leaving the majority of these important issues to be decided by the elderly and retirees.

The changes are, and will continue to be, monumental.

Elizabethtown-Lewis and Westport already share a spate of athletics programs and are moving towards a shared superintendent and director of student services.

Talk of the “Big M” word — merger — is always at the tip of everyone’s tongue.

For instance, the Warrensburg and Bolton districts recently made the move to merge all fall sports starting this academic year, following the successful merger of their soccer teams last season. Through every step of this process, the administrations of both schools held a number of informational meetings

in addition to their regularly scheduled board meetings at which public input was encouraged and administrators answered the myriad questions that arose among students, parents, faculty and coaching staff before voting on the 201516 merger.

Mergers like this are becoming increasingly common in recent years, and a number of districts are hoping to cut costs by sharing services with neighboring districts.

Last August, Minerva Central was forced to adopt a contingency budget after three attempts to override the tax cap failed to receive a supermajority of 60 per cent — a misfortune administrators attribute to a growing demographic shift in their district. Families with school-aged children are fleeing the area in search of continually disappearing economic opportunities, officials said. A subsequent report from an outside organization implored the district to both keep the community informed and to explore opportunities for shared services with surrounding districts.

Administrators from each of these districts called for public input at every step of these proceedings.

Do you fear what a merger means for the individual identity of your district?

Tell them.

Do you fear that your district cannot afford to remain autonomous without damaging cuts?

Tell them.

Don’t know what to think?

Show up. Listen. Come to a conclusion.

Then tell them.

As a taxpayer, your voice is important.

The truth about the Chrysalis Singers

Democratic petitions are flawed

To the Editor: Christopher Pratt’s otherwise excellent article (New Film Gives a Glimpse into the Hospice Experience,” August 22) casually mentions the Chrysalis Singers as a “local group of a cappella Singers who bring music into the residences of patients and families.” In truth, the group was formed specifically to provide emotional support and comfort as part of the High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care team, and was organized by Larry Vanderburgh in 2009 while he served as Volunteer Coordinator for the Essex County office. As are all hospice volunteers, Chrysalis Singers are carefully trained in hospice legal and regulatory compliance, HIPAA rules, and confidentiality, and must fulfill annual health requirements before visiting patients and families.

It is well established that music can help ease physical symptoms such as pain, restlessness, agitation, sleeplessness, and labored breathing. It conveys a sense of serenity and consolation that can be profoundly soothing. Chrysalis Singers sing specifically for our patients but also make the rounds of local hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. They also participate in our Remembrance Gathering, held twice yearly. The group travels widely to cover our patient area, and currently consists of 25 members, coming from Schroon Lake, Putnam, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Paradox, Port Henry, West Port, Essex, and Willsboro. They meet twice a month to rehearse. Their repertoire includes familiar hymns, folk songs, spirituals and they have been known to include the occasional show tune or popular song.

To the Editor: Well, if you’ve read the inaugural August 8th edition of the Valley News, The Sun, you would have discovered a huge controversy surrounding the election process for the Essex County Clerk position.

I like the new Sun actually.

Pete DeMola does an excellent job explaining the recent election events in a front page article, easy to read.

Some nasty, yet typical, progressive liberal style letters to the editor are also there.

The issue being that the Democrat petitions of County Clerk candidate, Luke Hudak, are flawed. He and his supporters freely admit this.

Luke’s supporters are outraged and furious that the flawed petitions were challenged and claim it’s for the public good that Luke stay on the ballot.

They’re willing to ignore election law and bend the rules to make that happen.

Interestingly, Luke’s team publicizes that three years ago incumbent Essex County Clerk, Joe Provoncha, was chastised by a newly created, and untested, County Ethics Board who concluded that rules were bent in procuring a computer program for the county system. I say untested because a year later they came to a very different conclusion regarding a very similar procurement case.

I believe Joe thought he was acting for the public good. Others at the County level must have agreed since the computer program is still in use in the county system today.

The hypocrisy of the Democrat’s position is obvious.

They say Joe bent the procurement rules and must go, but in order to make that happen, Luke must be allowed to bend the election rules.

I’ll not judge whether Hudak should be on the Nov. ballot, but regarding bending of rules, as the French might say; me thinks the Dems have been hoist by their own petards.

New station, new locations To the Editor: I wasn’t able to attend the latest informational hearing on the relocation of the Police Department to the Armory property.

First what part of “Solely for the purpose of Recreation” don’t people understand? There has been a lot said about relocating the Police Department to a residential neighborhood. There are other things to consider besides this.

Why would anyone want to locate a Police Department in a secluded out of the way Neighborhood? A Police Department should be located in a busy heavy traffic area of a community. The present location on Burgoyne Road is not at all desirable either.

Montcalm Street would be the ideal location, but it appears there is no property available for this. We did have good locations in the past. Directly across for the Post Office when the building was used for Police and Fire Departments. The community Building was also a very good location.

I understand there is discussion to build a new Highway Department Facility at the present location of the Highway Department. This would be an almost ideal location for the Police Department. This location on Racetrack Road is at the intersection of two main entrances to our town. Route 74 from the West and Route 9N and 22 from the North.

A Police Department does more for us than fight crime and control traffic.

They are there to help us with any emergency that might arise.

I have traveled extensively for many years and several times I’ve gone to the local Police, not for crime, but just simply for driving directions. Road or Route signs were either blocked by shrubs or vandalized. A simple stop to a Police station located in the business district of a town or village was all we needed. This has been true, here in the Untied States or in a Foreign Country.

Lets formulate a plan that won’t disfigure the Historic Armory Property and locate the Police Department where it can do the most good for all the people.

BRTF sends sincere thanks to community To the Editor: The Boquet River Theatre Festival’s 2015 summer season was a resounding success thanks in large part to the support of our community.

The Boquet River Theatre Festival (BRTF) was able to produce two shows this year, Disney’s The Little Mermaid and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. These shows would not have been possible without the support of the Rogers-Carroll Foundation, the businesses and individuals who took out advertisements in our playbill, numerous donors, our faithful patrons, and the selfless volunteers who gave time and resources to our program. This program continues because of your support. We thank you.

BRTF would also like to thank the young actors who worked tirelessly over 2 and a half weeks to provide two quality musical performances. Their dedication comes not just from the desire to put on a great show, but also because of the wonderful friendships which form during their time at BRTF. We hope to see those friendships continue to flourish. You are all creative, intelligent, kind people. Thank you for your laughter and your work.

Finally, we are grateful for the dedication of the staff and parents. Without our directors and activity managers we would not have our shows. Your devotion is evident to our eyes and to our audience. Thank you for your efforts and for creating fun and engaging learning environments for our participants.

Thank you also to the parents and caregivers. You found ways to bring your children to BRTF. You listened to the same songs over and over again and watched as they were made new on opening night. Your support and enthusiasm is deeply felt. Thank you.

We at The Boquet River Theatre Festival look forward to next summer. If you are also looking forward to the future of this program, please join us on Facebook at facebook.com/BoquetRiverTheatreFestival or view our website at BRTF.com. The Boquet River Theatre Festival is a non-profit organization founded in 1993, designed to provide young people with theatrical training and experience.”

Governor Cuomo, action is needed To the Editor: Governor Cuomo, We write on behalf of Adirondack Wild: Friends of the Forest Preserve to urge your administration to take immediate action to assert jurisdiction over the ill-conceived proposal by the Saratoga and North Creek Railroad, LLP (“SNCR”) and Iowa Pacific Holdings, LLC (“Iowa Pacific”) to store hundreds of hazardous discarded oil tank cars near Tahawus in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Park. The proposed storage of old, potentially leaking DOT111 oil tank cars in the High Peaks region would pose a significant threat to the natural resources of the Adirondack Park and be a glaring disfigurement of a scenic landscape. In addition, it would undermine the state’s recent investment of nearly $50 million of public funds to acquire the former Finch Pruyn lands. You lauded these lands for their “unparalleled beauty” in your April 23, 2015 press release announcing the state’s purchase of the McIntyre East tract – one of the tracts that border the proposed oil tank car storage area.

Iowa Pacific claims that it can unilaterally transform one of the most treasured and popular areas of the Adirondack Park into an oil train junkyard without any state review or approval. However, as discussed below, we believe that Iowa Pacific’s proposal is, in fact, subject to the permit jurisdiction of the Adirondack Park Agency (“APA”) and the Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”), and that storage of discarded oil tank cars on stateowned Forest Preserve lands would violate the “forever wild” clause of the New York State Constitution.

Because Iowa Pacific recently claimed that its oil tank car project is not subject to state review or approval and that storage of the cars may begin within weeks, we ask that your administration take immediate action to inform SNCR and Iowa Pacific that (i) they must apply for and obtain required APA and DEC permits before storage of oil tank cars may occur on privately owned lands within the Adirondack Park, and (ii) under no circumstances will the state allow the storage of oil tank cars on Forest Preserve lands.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Story-telling Gordie Little

Columnist

“Daddy, tell me a story.”

Have you heard that at your house? I was always ready to spin a tale. It’s a gift and one that I cherish.

I came about it honestly.

My dad was a wonderful story-teller. He would sit in the old rocker with a kid on each knee and begin in a soft, deep voice. “The Glass Mountain” was my favorite. He would lull us into lethargy with an evenpaced delivery. Just as our eyelids drooped, he would shake his knees, raising the pitch and tempo until we squealed with delight.

I learned later it was an ancient Polish fairy tale. I could never tell it better and wouldn’t deign to try. As time passed and I had our own children on my knee, the story-telling continued. I hope it is happening somewhere even as you are reading this.

I’m a huge fan of oral history and story-telling. Books have been written about it; college courses have been designed around it. It must have begun long before any written language. Pictures on cave walls can attest to that. Stories were no doubt accompanied by songs and dances and still are in many cultures. Every story-teller adds his or her flavor.

To prove how stories evolve, I recall a late night television host who started by whispering a short story to one guest who, in turn, passed it along to another down the line. The final version was always far different from the original. That’s way it works.

Kaye’s father, the late Alfred Vaughan, was a classic Adirondack story-teller. I was mesmerized by his accounts of working in logging camps as a young man.

He also recapitulated every deer hunt he ever took, adding marvelous details that might not have been part of the actual event.

Mark Twain was my favorite literary story-teller growing up. Who didn’t identify with the characters in his books? He spoke my language and I reveled in it. I was never cut out to be a preacher like my dad, in spite of his fervent wishes.

The moniker “black sheep” comes to mind. But, he supported my radio career and I guess I became a storyteller in the process.

Before my father died, we recorded his life story in his own voice. You should do the same. It’s still not too late to tell stories around a camp fire. These days, mine would be ghostly tales. How about yours?

Mooers Volunteer Fire Department Labor Day Celebration:

W

ith all the bang and fanfare of the Labor Days of our youth, the volunteer fire department in Mooers is pulling out all the stops.

Sunday, Sept. 6 will be their 57th Annual Event.

The crowd of spectators will begin lining Main Street at 11:30 a.m., each searching for the best spot.

The parade will start at noon, and as the parade winds to an end and the last piece of candy is thrown into the crowd, the events have only just begun.

The sound of revving engines almost drown out the boasts of contestants in the Garden Tractor Pulls.

Personally, I would be hanging out in that area, or maybe over by the live entertainment which begins at noon.

The event in Mooers will have the feel of Labor Day Celebrations in small towns across our country.

If you’ve never been to an event like this, you should go. And if you have been to many such events, there is no need for me to prompt you.

From one end of the earth to the other, every place has its traditions. Here in Northern New York, a group of neighbors getting together for a parade, good food — and if they are lucky, a tractor pull — is one of ours.

A day on the farm:

Brew Fest in Lake George:

Take a guided hike with naturalist Peter O’Shea from the Adirondack Interpretive Center. With O’Shea at your side, a walk in the woods takes on a totally new dimension. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the forest as he sees it. The trek is from 1-3 p.m. in Newcomb. (518.582.2000).

If you are one of the people who think Labor Day just isn’t the same without beer, raise your mugs, because Lake George has an event for you.

The LakeGeorge.com Brewfest will be taking place Sept. 5 though Sept. 6 from 5 - 9 pm at Charles R. Wood Park in Lake George. Over 60 breweries will be present at this inaugural event, and there will also be live music, food, and a fireworks display.

Tickets for each day will be $40 in advance and $55 at the door. Admission will include tickets for 20 4 oz. samples and a souvenir sample glass.

Proceeds from LakeGeorge.com Brewfest will benefit SAVE Lake George, the Feeder Canal Alliance, Adirondack Theatre Festival, and World Awareness Children’s Museum.

When the lights go on again: Commemorating the end of WWII, The Ticonderoga Historical Society’s Hancock House is opening its grounds Saturday, Aug. 29 from 10 a.m.-7 p.m.

The lawn will be home to the Green Mountain Military Vehicle Club, exhibits and a rare opportunity as veterans share their oral histories.

At 5 p.m., they kick it up a notch. A modest admission will open the curtains to 1940s USO show.

The festivities will be held at 6 Moses Circle, Ticonderoga, NY. More information is available at ticonderogahistoricalsociety.org or (518.585.7868).

If you like hay rides, would like to check out an orchard and think dairy cows are cool, then head over to The Maple Grand Farm on Jarvis Road, in Peru this weekend for an open house.

If you know something cool and want me to share it with 55,000 neighbors, send me an email at Linda@ suncommunitynews.com or call me at 518-873-6368.

www.suncommunitynews.com/A&Efor the latest events

I don’t know if we have more Farmers’ Markets today than in the past, but their advertising is more prominent. Families all over our area continue to participate in the pleasures associated with being entirely or partly self sufficient. Yet, there are some among us who wouldn’t know a salt lick if they were standing beside it.

It is for these folks, the Clinton County Farm Bureau is having it’s third annual “A Day in the Farm” event.

On Aug. 29, rain or shine, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Maple Grand Farm on Jarvis Road, in Peru will have an open house. Visitors will be treated to hay rides, tours of the dairy and orchard, and more. For more information, contact bhairybear@aol.com.

BOP fires up new, traditional events for 2015 Schedule of events released for the Commemoration, which is taking place Sept.

10 through Sept. 13.

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh revealed a full schedule of events for the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Thursday, Aug. 20.

The commemoration weekend takes place Thursday, Sept.

10 through Sunday, Sept. 13, featuring educational, interactive, fun and family-friendly events and activities.

“On behalf of the City of Plattsburgh, we’re excited to share what you should expect for this coming year’s commemoration,” said Sandra Geddes, promotions and special events coordinator for the City of Plattsburgh. “I’ve planned events for more than 10 years and I’m in awe of the amount of work, detail and passion that has gone into making this event so special.”

Reenactor Vince Puliafico said he believes the War of 1812 was won by the Battle of Plattsburgh. The commemoration weekend takes place Sept.

10 through Sept. 13 and includes a variety of events.

RUM RUN Steve Peters, superintendent of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh, announced a new event to the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Weekend — The Foolish Bravado Rum Run: A Tribute to the Aiken’s Volunteers.

This run will take place Saturday, Sept. 12 at 3 p.m.

“With the Battle of Plattsburgh, we wanted to come up with a different type of running event,” Peters said. “One of the things that we’ve always found with the Battle of Plattsburgh is trying to get people today to realize how it was 200 years ago.”

In 1814, hearing of the British army’s march toward Plattsburgh, a group of boys known as the Aiken’s Volunteers were ready and willing to do whatever was needed.

Though many stories have been told about the heroics performed by the boys, they were also troublemakers in some cases, such as when they stole some cherry rum from a nearby barn during the Battle of Plattsburgh.

They were discovered by the British and fired upon, escaping back across the river under the cover of their comrades’ fire and cherry rum in their hands.

The run, beginning at Kinetic Running, will take thirsty participants from the south side of the Saranac River, across Bridge Street and one mile north to Wilcox Dock where they will pick up their rum and run back to the finish line.

However, “British Soldiers,” running a pre-determined pace, will try to take the rum back by beating the runners to the finish line. If runners beat the British soldiers, they get to keep their rum. If they get caught, they will lose it and have to pay for it if they want it back.

The race will be for adults 21 and older and limited to the first 100 participants to register. Registration is $30 per person. No race day registrations will be permitted. All registrants will receive a limited edition t-shirt and a small bottle of rum — that is if they escape the British soldiers.

CHILDREN’S GAMES In a white tent beside City Hall, Stan Ransom will be hosting the Children’s Games Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In this tent, children will be able to learn and play historical games from Battle of Plattsburgh times, including sack races, shut the box, game of graces, stilts, hoops, marbles, jacks, Jacob’s ladder, tops, apple bite, ring toss, bean bag toss, skittles, marble races, board games and many others.

Also, Ransom will have a kid’s parade around Trinity Park from 12:15-12:40 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

“This will help the kids get a feeling of what it was like to be a young person back in the 1800s,” Ransom said. “We gotta get the children involved and get them hands on.”

JUNIOR ENCAMPMENT Children will also have the option to relive history by visiting the Junior Encampment at the Kent-Delord House Museum Saturday, Sept. 12 9 a.m. to noon and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Here, children will have the hands-on opportunity to learn 19th century crafts and trades, including cartridge making, soap making, butter making, ice cream making, weaponry, period dress, bonnet decorating, calligraphy, cooking, fire starting, weaving and more.

“It’s wonderful to have this,” said Don Wickman, director of the Kent-Delord House Museum. “Hopefully, kids will come down and witness the experience of our history.”

For more information about this event, contact the KentDelord House Museum at 518-561-1035 or 518-314-6632.

Thelma and Louise, a bonded pair of adoptable dogs from Elmore SPCA....

Beagles; tri color; arrived July 29, 2015 at 22 lbs; one-yearold; bonded pair, female.

Louise and Thelma are a bonded pair of dogs that were found running at large in the town of Plattsburgh, NY. They were not claimed by their owners, so they are now looking for

Vince Puliafico, reenacting John Quincy Adams, will be hosting a slide presentation on why the Battle of Plattsburgh is called the “most decisive” battle in the War of 1812 and how Plattsburgh won the war.

“I really do think the War of 1812 was won by the Battle of their forever home. Louise is a lovely lady who is a bit shy at first. Although she might take a little time to warm up once she does you’ll have found a friend for life!

Louise is much less outgoing than her pal Thelma, and she likes to follow Thelma’s lead. When the two are apart, Louise gets very upset and will whine until she is reunited with Thelma. Louise is a lover and will gladly sit at your feet or go for long walks with you.

Thelma is much more engaging and loves to lead Louise around our play yards. These two girls would love to find a home where they can play, hike, cuddle and lounge around with each other and their people. Louise & Thelma have been altered, are current on vaccinations, have tested negative for heartworm, lyme, anaplasmosis and erlichia; they are ready to meet their new family! Come in and meet this dynamic duo who are just adorable and deserve a happy and healthy home.

Plattsburgh,” Puliafico said. “Everybody should all be proud of the Battle of Plattsburgh because it really had a huge impact.”

This presentation will take place at the Champlain Wine Company Sept. 12 at 6 p.m.

Along with Adams, guests will be able to see other reenactors throughout the course of the weekend, including John Krueger as William Bailey, a Plattsburgh merchant, political leader and judge, and Craig Russell as generals Benjamin Moore and Alexander Macomb.

“Plattsburgh is such a wonderful place,” Krueger said.

“Where else can you indulge your whim of having multiple personalities living different lives?”

THE PARADE The annual parade will take Sept. 12 with a 1 p.m. start time and the theme “Return of Peace to the North Country,” in recognition of the news of the peace treaty that arrived in February 1815 to the area.

“We are hoping several organizations and businesses will work on floats to showcase their organizations and the rich history the Adirondack Coast has to offer,” said Vicki Giroux, parade co-chair, said in a statement.

More than 100 units are expected to take part with many new participants, including musical groups Her Majesty’s Royal Marine band, The Police Pipes and Drums of Plattsburgh, The Spirit of Scotland Pipes and Drums, The RCMP Pipes and Drums, The Cobourg Pipes and Drums, The Sailing Master’s and more.

For more information about the parade, contact the parade committee at bopparade@yahoo.com or call 518-562-4000 ext. 165 and ask for Giroux.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS The Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration Committee is seeking volunteers for numerous events and activities throughout the commemoration weekend.

Volunteers are need to assist with evening concerts, the popular Israel Green Tavern, the information booth, button sales, the Battle of Plattsburgh Parade and the Children’s Old Time Village Fair.

“I think the community now understands and accepts that our history is such a huge part of what we are today and why we are such a great place to live, work and play,” Mayor James Calnon said. “I think we’ll have another great year this year.”

For more details on what each volunteer position entails or to get more information about the commemoration and its events, contact Geddes at ceddess@cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov or 518-536-7458 or visit www.champlain1812.com.

“This is one of the best events in the City of Plattsburgh,” Geddes said. “It has a lot of patriotism and a lot of community feelings.

“It’s certainly something that you don’t want to miss.”

stall lights and siren sounds and much more. Each ambulance is assembled carefully and test driven.

“Quality is a really big deal with our customers,” he said.

“They have to have it in really pristine shape.

“We have a great thing going on here.”

SUGAR ART General Manager and Purchasing Agent Brian Gadway led the tour through Global Sugar Art — a company that offers an extensive line of everything a baker could ever ask for.

World-renowned chef Alan Tetreault established Global Sugar Art in 2002 with a vision to offer the cake decorating community a single source to find the most comprehensive selection of high quality cake and confectionery decorating products.

Global Sugar Art now features over 10,000 products to reflect popular techniques, brands and industry trends, including cake pans, different types of fondant and edible lace decorations, a new addition that is gently and carefully created by hand.

As Gadway took visitors through the colorful building, he shared his personal connection to the company.

When he moved into his first warehouse over on 625 State Route 3, there were no windows. He requested to have 8x8 windows every 230 feet, but the owners said no and he went to another location where it’s currently situated today.

“This place was a dump when I got in here, but it had windows and it meant the world to me,” he said. “This isn’t the most glorious shop in the world, but I have a huge retention rate.”

ABOUT TDC TDC began with a few local businessman getting together to invest their own money in the economic prosperity of the Plattsburgh area.

Over 50 years later, TDC is led by a 42-person board of directors comprised of the region’s most distinguished names in business and community leaders and owns and operates three industrial parks: Air Industrial Park, Banker Road Industrial Park and Champlain Industrial Park.

“I think what people are surprised about is the number of businesses in the park and the diversity of the businesses,” said Grasso.

Air Industrial Park is the county’s first industrial park located in the Town of Plattsburgh and the State Route 3 corridor. It’s home to a wide variety of companies and operates at near capacity.

Besides Global Sugar Art and SpencerARL, it houses B3BG, Buffalo Jeans, Camoplast, Champlain Valley Industries, CVES, Fastenal, Fujitsu, G.M. Collin Skin Care, Imeco Cables, J&S Steel, Key Logistics Solutions, Matrox, Medisca, NERIC, NADCOR, Salerno Plastics, Swarovski and V. FRAAS. Banker Road Industrial Park is Plattsburgh’s fastest growing industrial park, located between State Route 3 and State Route 374. It houses companies such as APG Neuros, Marlee’s Seafood, Nova Bus, Prevost, Rideau, UPS

and WestGroupe.

The Champlain Industrial Park serves the northern tier of Clinton County as the location of choice for growing industries in proximity of the U.S.-Canadian border. It’s located in the Village of Champlain.

Not only does it have easy access to Canada and two places for higher learning (Clinton Community College and SUNY Plattsburgh), it has transportation infrastructure, strong industrial presence, quality workforce and strong business incentives.

“It’s a major evolution,” Dahlen said. “It’s an interesting growth you’ll see in Clinton County.”

Public, officials react to Mitchell’s covered court fees

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The strange case of Joyce “Tillie” Mitchell, the former prison seamstress who pleaded guilty last month to helping a pair of convicted killers break out of Clinton Correctional, raised a stink when it was determined that Clinton County was on the hook for her court fees.

The outrage was swift from both the public and elected officials. Clinton County legislators even asked the county attorney to reexamine policies.

Good news for the outraged: The public is invited to attended a public hearing on Wednesday, Aug. 26 at the Essex County Courthouse designed to solicit input as new eligibility guidelines for assigned counsel are being hammered out.

It’s part of a settlement agreement reached in March between the state and a plaintiff class action suit brought by the New York Civil Liberties Union after a Rochester woman, Kimberly Hurrell-Harring, got busted bringing a small

amount of marijuana to her imprisoned husband.

It was a misdemeanor charge, but her public defense lawyer advised her to plead guilty to a felony.

While the attorney was eventually disbarred, the result for Hurrell-Harring was four months in jail and the loss of her job.

The subsequent suit, Hurrell-Harring et al. v.

State of New York, claimed the state failed to creJoyce Mitchell ate and support a public defense system that ensured indigent criminal defendants would receive effective counsel.

Now, the New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services is tasked with developing the new criteria and procedures to

guide courts in counties outside of New York City.

Mitchell, who will be sentenced next month, drew a salary of $57,697 at the time she resigned from her job on June 25.

Her husband, Lyle, continues to make the same amount as an industrial supervisor.

Essex County Public Defender Brandon Boutelle said the state does not have a set of consistent eligibility standards.

“It’s a hodgepodge of best practices,” he said.

Income level is just one element, Boutelle explained, but it is not the end all, be all. Employment, housing status, debt load, assets, property ownership, the severity of the case and a multitude of other factors all play supporting roles.

“You can’t require people to sell off house and car to pay for an attorney,” said Boutelle.

The new standards are expected to be in place later this fall.

The assigned counsel eligibility public hearing was on Wednesday, Aug. 26 at 11 a.m. at the Essex County Courthouse’s Supreme Court Courtroom in Elizabethtown, following this paper going to print.

Luge Slider Search, Team Challenge comes to P’burgh PLATTSBURGH — Bragging rights will be on the line Sept. 5 in the Champlain Valley when the Plattsburgh USA Luge Slider Search and Team Challenge are contested.

The team challenge, a collaboration of USA Luge in Lake Placid, the Plattsburgh Recreation Department and High Peaks Dental, finds teams of three individuals, 14 and older, racing down Bridge Street in the city from 8

to 11p.m.

Prior to that, USA Luge will offer youth clinics, known as the Slider Search, as it seeks to bolster its talent pipeline.

Many athletes have come through the Slider Search en route to Olympic prominence, including 2014 Sochi bronze medalist Erin Hamlin and Olympic silver and bronze medal winner Brian Martin.

The youngsters will take to Bridge Street in separate Slider Search clinics, slated from 4 to 6 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. The team challenge will follow.

“This is a first-time event for us and, in the midst of the action, we would think the level of friendly trash talking will be quite humorous,” said Gordy Sheer, 1998 Olympic silver medalist and USA Luge director of marketing and partnerships. “Seriously, this will en-

able us to connect with area businesses, civic groups and individuals.

“We hope to leave the event with people saying they had lots of fun, while at the same time, adding to our fan base in the North Country.”

The competition is open to everyone, and is a fundraiser for USA Luge. To register, please go to www.teamusa.org/USA-Luge/ SS-Registration-Form.

Also, further cuts were made necessary after the district’s proposed 2015-16 spending plan and 2 percent tax-levy increase didn’t earn approval in May and again in June.

After the budget failed twice to get the super-majority approval needed to exceed the school’s tax cap, the district was forced to adopt a contingency plan for the upcoming school year, something Grenville was distraught about.

“That was disappointing to me because other school districts across the state only needed a 50 percent majority for their budgets and we needed 60 percent,” Grenville said in a previous interview with The Sun. “So even though the majority of citizens supported our budget, it was a very difficult hurdle to get to that 60 percent mark.

“I feel as though the Board of Education did an excellent job putting together a budget that measured health, safety and academic achievement that serves all of our students.”

Adirondack 102 Club: Passport and guide to the Park

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@suncommunitynews.com

HORICON — “It is one thing to say ‘I visited the Adirondacks,’ but quite another to say ‘I experienced the Adirondacks,’” reads Sen. Betty Little’s inscription on Martin Podskoch’s 2014 book “Adirondack 102 Club: Your Passport and Guide to the North Country.”

Inspired by these words and by Podskoch’s book, an unofficial group of locals and visitors to the area have set out to do just that: experience the Adirondacks.

Podskoch’s volume features a collection of 102 countyorganized sections, each one detailing the histories and activities offered by one of the 102 towns and village within or partially within the blue line.

Rather than by Podskoch himself, these sections are penned by representatives of their respective communities, from town historians to supervisors to chambers of commerce to ordinary residents.

The book, according to Podskoch’s introduction, was inspired by Dr. Arthur W. Peach’s informal group “the 251 Club,” in Vermont.

With his guide, Podskoch has created a similar group whose collective aim to visit each of the 102 towns and villages within the Adirondack Park, collecting stamps, photos, business cards, signatures and souvenirs from each one to commemorate the many stops along their journey.

Within each section of the book is a passport-style page in which travelers can record the date, weather and memories of their stay in that particular town or village, as well as a place for a stamp or signature from any local person they encounter.

Those who complete the pilgrimage earn the title of “Vagabond,” a term Podskoch chose in honor of a group of influential men — Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and John Burroughs — whom, under the same moniker, made regular trips to the Adirondacks and other remote parts of the world to escape the bustle of their busy lives and immerse themselves in nature.

Today, inspired by Podskoch’s book, a committee comprised of Horicon residents — including those who contributed the Horicon section of the book — aim to honor the first Vagabonds and spread the word about the 102 Club and its mission at a Sept. 3 dinner at Suzy Q’s Restaurant in Brant Lake, sponsored by the Horicon historical Society. The dinner begins at 6 p.m., and the cost is $17 per person.

The dinner will offer the first ever Vagabond patches to upwards of five 102 Club members who have already completed the journey, as well as a slide show and speeches from Club members, and Podskoch himself will be in attendance to sign copies of his book.

Joyce Houck is the first 102 Club member to complete her book — a feat she accomplished in around six months.

Along her trek, she collected personalized stamps and sig-

natures from anyone she could find at town halls, museums local businesses and residents.

“It’s a great way to promote the whole Adirondacks, rather than each individual territory,” Houck said in an interview.

Her goal, she said, was not only to fill her passport, but also to spread the word about the book and the 102 Club throughout the park.

She competed the task with such expedience as the result of a friendly competition with the second 102 Club member to finish the book, Barbara Blum — with whom she bagged a few towns and villages as a team. The two women often travelled together with their husbands, whose primary objectives were to drive and to navigate, Houck said.

Horicon Town Assessor and committee member Christine Hayes — also the co-author of the Horicon section of the book — works to complete her passport on Sundays with her mom.

“It’s a fun history book,” she said. “The idea is to promote tourism in the Adirondack Park.”

“Without changing anything!” Houck added.

Town Councilwoman and committee member Sylvia Smith — the other co-author of the Horicon section — is also a club member and passport holder.

She said that the club is not only a great way for retirees to travel the park, but for young students as well, as there is an educational element to the journey.

“It offers a good education for everybody,” Smith said, noting that the club has members from around the country, from California to North Carolina.

Anyone interested to learn more about the Adirondack 102

Club is encouraged to attend the Horicon Historical Society’s dinner or to stop by the museum to pick up a copy of the book for $20.
