NAC receives state funding for new pre-K program

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

ELLENBURG DEPOT — In mid September, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced $30 million in state funding to support pre-K in high-need districts.

Out of the 75 schools that applied and the 34 schools chosen, Northern Adirondack Central School was one of them.

“We’re very happy that we’re one of the 34,” said Laura Marlow, NAC superintendent. “It’s an exciting opportunity for our pre-school children.”

Initially, the school received $323,662. However, because of the Nov. 2 start date, Northern Adirondack Business Executive Brian Tousignant said, they’re going to be receiving approximately $280,000.

“It’s pro-rated based on the amount of days we were able to

operate in the school year,” he said.

The grant will cover all the costs related to running the program, including the salaries of the teachers, classroom supplies, auxiliary benefits and more exclusively for 4-year-old residents of the district.

The pre-K classroom will hold a maximum of 20 students from 8 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. and instruction will be based on the state’s pre-K learning standards.

“Studies show the sooner you can provide early instruction for children, it really has a positive effect throughout their entire school year both socially and academically,” Marlow said.

“The earlier you can get them started, it makes the transition into kindergarten a lot easier.”

In this program, the pre-kindergartners will be able to participate in field trip opportunities, receive free breakfast and lunch, will be eligible for transportation on district buses and more.

Lastly, the program will work in collaboration with the Head Start program that has been housed on the NAC campus for a number of years.

As a result of this collaboration, Tousignant said, Head Start will see auxiliary benefits such as access to physical education, art and library activities.

Children currently participating in Head Start need not enroll in NAC’s pre-K class, as they are receiving benefits of the grant.

The district’s pre-kindergarten class, because it’s a work in progress, will be evaluated throughout the year.

“We try to offer presentations that have a connection to our area,” said Janet McFetridge, organizer of the Village of Champlain History Series. “I think people will find it very fascinating that a person who was born in the community rose to such an important role.”

Nerska’s presentation will take community members and visitors on Ashmun’s journey from Champlain to Liberia.

HIS LEGACY Ashmun was born in Champlain on April 21, 1794.

He began his studies at Middlebury College at 16 to prepare for his life as a Christian minister. However, because of illness, Ashmun returned back to Champlain during the War of 1812 but preached on his better days in a local church and organized a military company to protect the village from British attackers threatening from Canada.

Pictured above is the site of Jehudi Ashmun’s birthplace in Champlain located. His birthplace is located on Oak Street.

TOWN SUPERVISORS Republican Vasso LaForest will be running against Democrat Michael Cashman for the position of town supervisor currently held by Bernie Bassett, who is signing off after his term expires in January.

LaForest, born and raised in the Town of Plattsburgh, currently works as a CPA (certified public accountant) and real estate broker with the offices in the Town of Plattsburgh, owns the tax practice First Financial Service and serves as a member of the Town of Plattsburgh Zoning Board of Appeals.

Mountain Lake Mandala: created by all for all

By Teah Dowling

in the Strand Center for the Arts.

“To be able to go into the center everyday, walk down the stairs and see this mandala come together was inspirational,” said Joshua Kretser, executive director of SCA. “The fact that so many community hands have touched this mandala shows that if we all work together, we can really make things happen.”

Every day as Kretser walked down to the basement, he discovered new shape and new color tiles being placed within the mandala, including peacock features that are a symbol of positive transformation and precious gems that are one of the five precious substances in Tibetan Culture.

He and others also saw colored diamond shapes that represent the mountains of the North Country throughout the seasons and eight petal shapes filled with round tiles in shades and tints of blue to represent Lake Champlain.

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Adults and children approached the Mountain Lake Mandala, touching the tiles they created during the many workshops conducted by artist Sue Young.

Young — a local artist from Jay who was lead for this community art project part of the Tibetan Festival of the Arts — conducted many workshops and worked many days toward the finished project, made by approximately 300 people and exactly 3,480 tiles.

The mural was officially unveiled Friday, Sept. 25 not as a mural, but as a mandala.

“A mandala is never created for an individual but for everyone and that is exactly what we’ve done here,” said Tenzin Dorjee, co-owner of the Himalayan Restaurant along with his wife, Yangchen. “This mandala will be on this wall for years to come and everyone who passes by will benefit from its beauty.”

THE BEGINNING PROCESS Mountain Lake PBS applied for a grant for the Tibetan Festival of the Arts through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council for $100,000.

They received $76,000 from the New York State Council of the Arts - part of which went toward the community art project put under the careful artistic hands of Young.

“When they asked me to take over the project, I didn’t know much about the Tibetan culture,” Young said. “I had to really hit the books and learn what I could.”

Throughout the month of January, Young spent a good portion of her time studying the Tibetan-style motifs that can be seen within the tiles in the mandala, including sky (clouds), fire, earth and water.

Two community members use the Mountain Lake Mandala reference key to distinguished the different tiles signifying Tibetan culture.

After a month of studying, she spent February and March gathering supplies for the first tile making workshop on April 4, followed by several scheduled and unscheduled workshops until the tiles — exactly 3,480 tiles — were completed.

THE BASEMENT FLOOR Once the tiles were completed, Young and countless volunteers laid out the mandala in the Jackie Sabourin Clay Studio

THE WALL TROUBLES As the mandala made its way from the basement to the wall of the old Sawatdee Thai Restaurant, Young and volunteers, specifically eight people, took five days to remove 90 square feet of paint.

Once removing the paint, they started putting the tile on the wall at the end of August and finished the project completely by Sept. 10 with the help of many contributors, including SUNY Plattsburgh students Robert “Guitsy” Wolf, Dylan Anhalt, Alex Sutton and Martha Grey; Young’s daughter CJ and husband Terry; and Gerald and Carol Hofmaister, a retired couple who helped this project grow from the very beginning.

“It was an absolutely huge project and we made it our own quest to just be there whenever Sue needed us,” Gerald said.

“To build something beautiful and permanent in our community is an opportunity of a lifetime.”

“Every time I go by, I’m just in awe of how beautiful it is,” Carol added. “I still get chills when I see it.”

PDA discusses events for next summer, this winter Questions arise on park usage, farmer’s market expansion

The first Destination Downtown they held in May was a success, but the second one they held in Sept. 13, in collaboration with the Battle of Plattsburgh events, wasn’t.

Geddes, during the meeting, apologized for the downfall of the second Destination Downtown.

“I think my idea to have it going on with a whole bunch of other things going on was in good intentions but was a bad idea,” she said. “I was pulled in so many different directions and people didn’t want to leave City Hall since everything was happening right there, but I tried.”

Read said for next year, they plan on picking their dates a little bit more carefully. One suggestion, made by Peters, was to have Destination Downtown going on alongside the Biggest Loser Run/Walk.

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh Downtown Association had their annual monthly meeting last week to discuss events for next summer and ideas for this winter.

Most of the meeting focused on next summer — discussing how downtown Plattsburgh businesses can be more involved in downtown events planned or approved by the city, including Downtown Rising.

DOWNTOWN RISING Downtown Rising is a fairly new event focused on bringing local, music and art into the community.

Next summer, Downtown Rising, which is sponsored by Conroy Farms, will take place at Trinity Park for 12 weeks on Friday evenings June through August except for the Battle of Plattsburgh weekend.

The sticky situation, said Sandra Geddes, promotions and special events coordinator for the City of Plattsburgh, is that they are the only group of people who can use that park for the summer.

Jeremy Drown, co-owner of Kinetic Running, suggested moving over from Trinity Park to the waterfront area across the road, but that wouldn’t be possible.

“This went around and around and around,” said Bruce Lawson, former community development director for the City of Plattsburgh. “He [Simon Conroy] was not interested in doing another location.”

FARMER’S MARKET Lawson pointed out that a big element to the Downtown Rising event was to bring in farmers that have been on the waiting list for the farmer’s market behind the Durkee Street parking lot.

Drowne mentioned that one of the biggest complaints toward the farmer’s market was that it was too small, but there are limitations to expanding it.

“Right now, the space we have for the farmer’s market is full,” Lawson said. “Opening up more space means eliminating more parking.”

Steve Peters, recreation superintendent for the city of Plattsburgh, chimed in and mentioned that although there is

room to extend the farmer’s market out toward the Highway Oil building along the river, there are still limitations in the types and number of vendors.

The farmer’s market, Peters said, doesn’t want 12 people selling tomatoes. At most, they want one to two people selling the same thing and that’s where they draw the line.

ART WALK In comparison to the Durkee Street farmer’s market, First Weekends, said Joe Kovacs, member of First Weekends and owner of Smooth Moves, is looking at expanding the Art Walk throughout the entire weekend.

“We haven’t gotten the exact details yet,” he said.

Since it’s beginning about three years ago, the Art Walk took place the first Friday of every month from 5 to 8 p.m., featuring the eight stops Chameleon Gallery (now closed), The Strand Center for the Arts, Olive Ridley’s, Corner-Stone Bookshop, Koffee Kat, The Pepper, Cache’ Elegante and The Champlain Wine Company.

Now, they hope to expand the walk throughout the entire weekend to draw in more people, but there’s a major hurdle: Sundays.

DESTINATION DOWNTOWN President of PDA Colin Read started Destination Downtown this past summer as a way to get businesses rolling and residents and visitors in the downtown area on a Sunday.

BIGGEST LOSER This summer, the Biggest Loser Run/Walk took place May 31 — a day that was challenging due to the bad weather.

Next summer, Peters said, they’ll be hosting the Biggest Loser on Sunday, June 12, separate from the Plattsburgh Half Marathon, which will still take place sometime in May. During this meeting, after countless complaints about the event, Peters wanted to get feedback on what should be done for this year’s event in terms of promoting the downtown area.

A suggestion was made to list every restaurant and store open on Sundays in the race packet - highlighting the businesses who actively want to be involved, similar to another suggestion made earlier in the discussion by creating and putting up signs throughout the city pointing to places open on Sundays.

Besides Sundays, there’s also another issue that was brought up by Peters, one that may not be an easy fix.

“After a race,” he said. “One priority is food, but the most important priority is a shower.”

WINTER DISCUSSIONS During the meeting, Geddes revealed a holiday parade she’s currently planning for either Dec. 4 or 5.

She hopes that with this parade, stores will join in the parade by decorating their storefronts to encompass a sense of holiday cheer.

At the next PDA meeting in October, they’ll be discussing more opportunities for downtown activities in the winter months.

“We should really be thinking about winter time,” Lawson said. “The city is open to suggestions.”

Cadyville Rec Park trails to get new sign, markers teah@suncommunitynews.com

CADYVILLE — The Town of Plattsburgh, along with the Clinton County Health Department, is working on a project to improve the Cadyville Rec Park trails.

Currently, there’s three 20-year-old trails in the Cadyville Rec Park separated by length, but they loop all over the park, making them difficult to follow.

So, the Town of Plattsburgh Parks & Recreation Department decided to fix the issue by adding more signage and trail markers — a project that costs between $1,500 to $2,000.

“One of our biggest goals was to figure out how to map it and help people understand where they’re going,” said Melanie Defayette, youth service and recreation director for the Town of Plattsburgh.

The town purchased a new sign a few weeks ago called the message center. The large sign, which has yet to be installed, will hold a map of all three trails that can be easily change if the trails were to ever expand — a map that will also be

available on handouts and on the Town of Plattsburgh Parks & Recreation Department’s website.

Currently, Defayette is working toward finding the exact distance of each of the trails so that they can be properly displayed on the map. So far, she’s measured the distance of the Orange Trail, which is 1.1 miles. The Yellow and Blue trails have yet to be completed.

Also, Defayette has installed some of the trail markers up distinguished by both color and pictures. However, they still need to put up the rest.

The town hopes to have this project completed by the end of October, followed by a grand reopening in spring 2016 to introduce the newly improved marked all-season trails for walking or biking in the warmer months or snowshoeing and cross country skiing in the colder months.

“It’s truly a year-round trail,” Defayette said. “The trails really lift your spirits to be out in nature.”

IMPROVEMENT PLAN This project is part of the Clinton County Health Department’s community health improvement plan.

One of the strategies within this plan is to promote the trails in Clinton County, specifically the Saranac River Trail, Terry Gordon Trail and the Cadyville Rec Park trails.

After conducting a survey from both trail and non-trail users on what would encourage them to use the trails more often, the department received multiple answers - one of them being more information about the trails by trail maps and trail markings.

“We’re promoting trail use in general,” said Karen Derusha, supervising public health educator for the Clinton County Health Department. “We want to encourage people to use the trails more.”

Mitchell sentenced up to seven years for role in prison escape

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The prison employee who helped two convicted murderers in their daring escape from a maximum security prison in June was sentenced to 2 1/3 to seven years in prison on Monday.

Joyce Mitchell, 51, wiped away tears as she read from a prepared statement before her sentencing.

“I can’t begin to explain how sorry I am for all of this,” said Mitchell, dressed in a prison jumpsuit and shackled at the arms and waist. “I’m 51-years-old and this is by far the worst mistake I have ever made in my life.”

“You did terrible things,” said Judge Kevin Ryan. “A large percentage of the local population were terrorized — some had to flee their homes.”

“I would wear an ankle bracelet at county jail for rest of my life if I could just go home to my family,” said Mitchell.

Mitchell was immediately remanded into the custody of the state department of corrections.

As requested by the state inspector general’s office, Mitchell may be required to pay nearly $120,000 in restitution costs stemming from repairs to the cell blocks from which the two convicted killers escaped.

While total state overtime costs clocked in at $23 million, said Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie, Mitchell will not be liable for those costs due to state law.

A restitution hearing has been set for Nov. 6.

Mitchell, who worked as a supervisor at the prison’s tailor shop, pled guilty in July to smuggling hacksaw blades and a screwdriver bit to facilitate the escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat on June 6.

The seamstress was originally supposed to drive a getaway car for the killers, but got cold feet at the last minute.

On Monday, she told Ryan that she was living in fear of Matt, whom she said had dispatched people to watch her and her husband, Lyle, at all times.

Lyle sat expressionless in the front row of the courtroom.

After his wife was sentenced, a tear trickled down his cheek and he clenched his fists.

He did not respond to questions from a reporter while leaving the courtroom.

After a three-week manhunt throughout some of the most challenging terrain in the country, Matt, 49, was fatally shot by a federal agent on June 26 about 27 miles away from the prison.

Sweat, 35, was captured two days later about 2 miles from the Canadian border.

While Sweat was originally scheduled to appear in Plattsburgh City Court on Tuesday to face felony escape charges, that case has been pulled from the docket.

Wylie confirmed on Monday that his office is negotiating

an agreement with Sweat attorney Joseph Mucia.

“There are possibilities of a plea with David Sweat,” said Wylie.

Like Mitchell, Sweat is also liable for paying a portion of the $119,762 in restitution costs.

According to Wylie, the restitution issue is sticking on how it will affect Sweat’s commissary as he serves a life sentence.

Sweat, who was serving a life sentence without parole at Clinton Correctional, faces a $5,000 fine and up to seven years prison added to his sentence on each of the three felony charges.

One other prison employee has been charged in the escape.

Correction officer Gene Palmer is accused of helping give contraband to the inmates and destroying evidence.

Negotiations with his counsel are ongoing, said Wylie.

Palmer remains free on bail.

The district attorney said while he was glad the Mitchell saga is near closure, he doesn’t take much stock in her tearful

apology to the court, calling it an “insult” to Matt and Sweat’s victims and law enforcement officials and their families.

Mitchell wasn’t forthcoming with the truth until presented with the details during the investigation, said Wylie.

Earlier, Ryan had said that he doubted Mitchell’s narrative that her husband would be harmed if she exposed the escape plot.

“I just don’t find that explanation credible,” said Ryan.

Wylie also dismissed claims voiced by Mitchell attorney Steven Johnston prior to her sentencing that power tools were used during the escape, leaving the door open to a possible larger conspiracy.

“We’ve investigated this issue in great detail,” said Wylie, who said the hacksaw blades that Mitchell provided directly led to the escape by cutting through walls and a steam pipe.

Wylie also expressed disappointment that Mitchell’s crimes only garnered a maximum sentence of up to seven years.

Asked what he felt would be a more appropriate sentence, Wylie paused: “Certainly a lot more than seven years.”

Mitchell will be subject to a parole hearing before 2 1/3 years, said Wylie, and will be eligible for time served since her arrest on June 12.

Despite the felony conviction, Mitchell will continue to receive her state pension. Any future profits derived from selling her story will be targeted by the state’s attorney general and inspector’s office to go towards restitution, said Wylie.

It is not immediately known where Mitchell will serve her time.

Upon admission to the state prison system, inmates remain at a reception facility for several weeks until a thorough series of tests and evaluations are completed and a decision is made as to which facility the inmate will be assigned to.

The series of tests and evaluations consist of a physical and mental health review, educational screening, risk assessment and other standard examinations.

At her sentencing, Mitchell admitted that she was undergoing mental health counseling.

New York State Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott said she will continue to assist Wylie and provide clear evidence of the damages for which Mitchell is responsible.

In a statement, Scott hailed the verdict and said her office’s upcoming investigation will detail how Mitchell spent months assisting the escape.

Despite attempts to minimize her own culpability, Mitchell, said Scott, spent months assisting the prisoners plan and execute their escape not only by providing the tools, but “devising elaborate getaway plans and purposefully misleading law enforcement as two murderers evaded capture.”

“With criminal intent, she used her position to abuse and manipulate systemic security lapses at the Clinton Correctional Facility,” said Scott.

Town of P’Burgh to host event on waterfront project

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Town of Plattsburgh will be hosting a two-day public event in regards to the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.

This two-day public event on Oct. 14 and 15 will include a series of hands-on design sessions, technical and stakeholder meetings and conceptual design renderings from a design team to create a vision of the region, the town and each hamlet based on votes of approval and disagreement.

This waterfront plan looks at the Saranac River hamlets of Morrisonville, Cadyville and Treadwells Mills and lakefront communities Cliff Haven and Cumberland Head — identifying and building upon prior planning efforts in the town and region to explore redevelopment opportunities and improve access and linkages to the Saranac River and Lake Champlain waterfronts.

“We have all these great waterfront resources and tend to not use them,” said Trevor Cole, planning technician for the Town of Plattsburgh. “Not every hamlet has good waterfront access, so that’s why we’re working toward better access and better recreation.”

SOME PROPOSED PROJECTS At the public event, the town will be proposing some projects already accumulated by the Public Advisory Committee.

For Cadyville, they will be focusing on the Cadyville Beach, specifically the rugged boat launch there now. This boat launch is the only one within the town’s 26 miles of waterfront. They’ll also be looking at improving access and find-

ing ways to promote commercial use there, such as adding a kayak rental, vendor booth or food truck.

The town hopes to formalize the seven-acre parcel of public land at the end of Lapierre Lane in Morrisonville. They plan on improving fishing access, parking, adding a handicap accessible path and more.

In Treadwells Mills, the town is looking at formalizing the activities near the dam on the town lines of the Town of Plattsburgh and Schuyler Falls. If this turns into a joint project, the town would like to look at adding possibly a larger dock.

Going toward the ferry, Cumberland Bay has one stretch that’s open, but there’s no place for parking. People generally park on the side of the road to use the waterfront for windsurfing. They hope to formalize this more by adding a parking lot.

Though most of Cliff Haven’s waterfront is privately owned, there’s a public parcel that are maintained but barely used by residents outside of Cliff Haven. The town hopes to improve the surrounding communities ability to get to the water.

Lastly, the town is looking at finding better ways to get people more integrated with the town waterfront in Cumberland Corners right off of Exit 39 near the Crete Civic Center.

This idea, however, isn’t just about the waterfront, but the surrounding commercial corridors that can benefit from better access.

“We’re planning on targeting the residents of each of these hamlets,” Cole said. “Hopefully at this public event, we’re going to hear their ideas.”

FOLLOWING THE FORUM The town received a grant from the NYS Department of

State Environmental Protection Fund Waterfront Revitalization Program for the preparation of the waterfront.

The grant was for $25,000 with an additional $25,000 from the town toward the development of the plan.

After the two-day forum, the town, along with the Laberge Group and the town board appointed Public Advisory Committee, will prepare the waterfront revitalization plan.

This plan includes identifying specific projects as priorities, funding streams for future development, long-term and short-term projects and more.

The town won’t be expecting a final plan until early spring.

As the plan develops, there will be several other public hearings where the town will present drafts of the documents as they’re developed.

“The majority of the design and what happens is in the public input,” Cole said. “We certainly don’t want to do something the public doesn’t want to see.

“Hopefully, people will come out.”

The first waterfront plan public event will take place Oct. 14 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the May Currier Recreational Building, followed the next day in the Cumberland Head Fire Department from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Following this event, there will be a waterfront “work-in-progress” presentation of the ideas generated and shared from the public over two days by key stakeholders and the community.

A call to faith

ast week America was blessed to host Pope Francis, one of the world’s true holy men and leader of the Roman Catholic Faith.

Three major cities played host to the Pope as he shared his vision for the country that has been so blessed.

The Pope made it clear his visit was not about politics, as he artfully shared his message of love, joy, hope and forgiveness while inviting all to share the wonders of God’s love and creation.

This Pope expresses faith and love, not with fire and brimstone but with understanding and wisdom. He has proven time and time again that he is just as comfortable with dignitaries as he is when he is interacting with everyday people. He made a significant statement by the common means of transportation he chose by his use of a simple Fiat hatchback versus the traditional limousines dignitaries typically use in motorcades.

A former Jesuit Priest who many years ago took a vow of poverty, Francis is the embodiment of a simple man who, despite his appointment as Pope, sees the condition of humanity from a common man’s perspective.

Francis also defines the word, ‘holy’. His invitation to faith was not just about the Catholic Church nor was it just a call for Catholics. Faith and the acceptance of a supreme being is not just about a building or a title. Faith is freedom to believe, to love and to share the abundant gifts we’ve all been given with those less fortunate.

The Pope has encouraged people of all faiths, and no faith, to find common ground. He made it clear that his role is not that of a judge but rather a mere common man called by his Lord to be Shepherd to the people of this world.

“In a world where various forms of modern tyranny seek to suppress religious freedom, or try to reduce it to a subculture without right to a voice in the public square, or to use religion as a pretext for hatred and brutality,” Francis said, “it is imperative that the followers of the various religions join their voices in calling for peace, tolerance and respect for the dignity and rights of others.”

“We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educated new generations

Perilous North Hudson checkpoint should be permanently closed

T

he perilous roadblock manned by agents of the U.S. Border Patrol between exits 29-30 of the Adirondack Northway was once again in full operation this past weekend, subjecting motorists to what we believe is a highly dangerous practice of coming to an unexpected stop from 65 miles per hour.

We’ve gone on record before on this subject and we’ll do so again: How many lives must be lost before federal agents permanently close this accident waiting to happen?

Is it really worth meddling in the lives of the more than 12,000 motorists per day stopped at this location for the relatively few, mostly minor drug related arrests that are made there?

We understand the laudable goal of this intermittent checkpoint that crops up from time to time in North Hudson at the southbound High Peaks rest area.

Border Patrol agents have a job to do — and that is to keep our citizenry safe from terrorists and their weapons while searching for illegal immigrants and narcotics.

Following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks federal border patrol agents stepped up these checkpoints throughout the country, operating approximately 60 at any given time on interstates within 100 miles of our U.S. borders.

The one in North Hudson is about 75 miles south of the border with Canada.

But none of these stops have been as accident-ridden or deadly as the one in our own backyard. Interstate 87 is unique in that its mountains, trees and curves produce blind spots unlike most interstates where visibility is far greater, making it the perfect storm to halt traffic out of the blue.

The proof can be found in the life-threatening history here.

It was in September of 2004 when 5-year-old Jonelle Adams and her mother, Natalie, 40, and family friend Sherylann John, 41, all of Uniondale, Long Island were killed after their car was pushed from behind by a tractor-trailer skidding out of control as they waited in line at the security checkpoint in North Hudson. Helpless, the family slammed into a pickup and their vehicle burst into flames.

The tractor-trailer then hit a second tractor-trailer and a pickup towing a camper, which also burst into flames killing the driver, 53-year-old Walter Giveans of Otisville, N.Y. An earlier crash in February that year injured more than 50 people when a tour bus carrying 47 passengers careened into the back of a tractor-trailer at the border patrol roadblock, pushing it into an SUV and car which were also waiting in line to be quizzed by an agent. In both crashes, driver inattentiveness as well as poor line of sight were noted as contributors to the accidents.

Afterward, the Essex County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to oppose the Border Patrol stop calling it unnecessary and dangerous. State and federal lawmakers followed suit, and upon the urging of U.S. Sen. Chuck

Schumer a report by the National Transportation Safety Board ensued, citing numerous safety deficiencies. In response, Border Patrol made changes that included rumble-strips and warning signs farther north.

But we believe these band-aids are too little, too late.

On a recent trip through the checkpoint, one reader reported a whiteknuckled wait of nearly 5 minutes, all the while scanning his rearview in fear of an inattentive motorist careening into the line of cars that stretched back nearly as far as the first warning sign.

His reward for the wait? A leisurely wave-through by the uniformed agent without so much as a word.

“I support our customs agents and appreciate the hard work they do,” the reader wrote in an email. “I’m just not sure if this roadblock is the best way to accomplish what they are tasked to do. I drive a full size SUV I could have had loaded with half a dozen illegals, yet was waved through without so much as a glance in the back.”

“Meanwhile, that stop is dangerous as hell.”

We here at Sun Community News have to agree. Leave the job of patrolling our interstates to our very competent state police force and use the time and resources of our federal border patrol agents to secure our borders.

In the past decade this checkpoint in North Hudson has done little besides imperil and intrude on the lives of the law abiding motoring public.

It needs to be permanently shut down.

Village bully, stop it now!

To the Editor: Village bullies: Yes you. And you know exactly who you are.

On a Saturday morning, while you were driving the Village of Port Henry’s “mobile Jack Hammer” on the sidewalk in front of our house on the way to your work site, you engaged the Jack Hammer. Yes, it was loud, boisterous, and very intrusive to us and our home. You were told to stop it because it was damaging to our historic brick building. You just continued on while laughing and your Foreman yelling, “get the **** back into your house before I call Stahl and have you arrested.”

And that was that.

As morning turned to afternoon, one could hear them doing their job just up the hill, on Spring Street. And then the peace was shattered by the wretched noise of the mobile jackhammer. You drove up our short driveway with the hammer pointing forward and you, shooting within inches, directly at our home. Mortar, pieces of brick, and mortar dust tumbled to the ground. You even left tire marks on our driveway. And then you just drove away. Back to the village garage as if nothing had happened.

Then on Monday, you show up at our home with someone, introducing himself as the mayor and then the vice mayor as we denied his fraudulent introduction. To us, he was just someone off the street trying to illegally record everything that was said.

Sad and nerves shaken, we try to grasp the reasoning for your destructive behavior and actions inviting you several times to come and see the damage you had done to our home. The Historic Fire House where three companies at the same time. Our home, the firemen invited all the children for Christmas parties and to visit Santa. Our home is where the same children want to see the fire house as great grandparents. Our home, the firemen had their own meetings. Our home, the bright red fire trucks stood proud, ready to be put into action. Our home, we honor the list of firemen on the wall and all before and after them. This is our home which we are humbled and honored to be listed on the National Historic Registry and New York State Historic Registry.

Please, please, please reconsider changing your abrupt destructive thoughts and actions towards us and our home. You have continually stated and referenced us as “those people”. Do you really think that much of yourselves? You work for us, the people of Port Henry.

Janet and Erik Hansen (and Ye Old Firehouse) Village of Port Henry

100 year celebration a great success!

COMMENTARY

Little Bits

To the Editor:

The Whallonsburg Civic Association would like to thank the community for making the Centennial Celebration and Block Party at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall such a great success. Nearly two hundred people came out to enjoy music, eat great local food, view the exhibit of photos, mementos and documents that showed 100 years of Grange history, and celebrate this momentous occasion together.

We appreciate all the groups who contributed their time and energy to the success of this event, including Adirondack Harvest, the Wadhams Free Library, the Greenhorns, and the Lakeside School parents, along with the many local businesses who helped to underwrite the celebration. We thank Assemblyman Dan Stec and Supervisors Ed Gardener (Essex) and Shaun Gilliland (Willsboro) for speaking about their support for the Grange; and State Senator Betty Little for introducing a resolution into the State Legislature honoring the Centennial and the restoration of the Grange. The Wannabes, Dan Berggren, and Russ Bailey deserve special thanks for contributing their musical talents. Thanks also to Boquet Valley Blooms for providing the beautiful floral arrangements, and to Peggy Staats for the delicious birthday cake.

A big thank you to all the farmers and food producers who provide the excellent food that we serve and who work with us to make this event and others a success throughout the year: Essex Farm, Mace Chasm Farm, Domaine Champlain Orchard, North Country Creamery, DaCy Meadow Farm, Reber Rock Farm, Harvest Hill Farm, Full & By Farm, Dak & Dill, KZ Farm, Ben Wever Farm, and Juniper Hill Farm. Many local food producers and crafters brought their delicious and beautiful handmade products for everyone to see and purchase.

Special thanks go, as always, to Chef Jeremy and his team for working hard at the grill, and to the Whallonsburg, Essex, and Wadhams Fire Departments, who shared their fire trucks with the children, helped with parking, and ensured everyone’s safety.

Last but certainly not least, we want to thank all the many Grange volunteers who worked for many days and especially over the weekend to put on this great event.

The Centennial Celebration took place in our beautifully restored Grange Hall, and we would like to thank Mark Hall of Hall Design Group for his invaluable contribution to this project.

As Stephen Coye of the New York State Grange Museum wrote in our letter of congratulations, the fact that the Hall still stands for its centennial “is a great testimony to the folks that had the vision to create the facility in the first place, and also to those who realized it needed to remain as a significant part of Whallonsburg.” Senator Betty Little also shared her perspective: “More than just a structure, the Whallonsburg Grange Hall has served as the heart of this rural community for 100 years … [it has] helped to foster and support interest in agricultural affairs, community progress and strong family values.”

Together, we organized a party that was truly worthy of our first one hundred years! Here’s to the next hundred.

Andy Buchanan, President Whallonsburg Civic Association

Get what you pay for!

To the Editor: At first, we must admire our town supervisor for trying to save the local taxpayer’s money with his proposal for the relocation of the police department to the town-owned armory property. BUT! I think the one thing our supervisor doesn’t take into consideration is YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! What we will get with the armory location is a converted building in an out of the way, remote, unhandy and unwanted location. This will also bring unwanted traffic noise and disfigure some nice property in an otherwise quiet peaceful neighborhood.

If the monies we have set aside for this would be used in a proper way, these monies could be put toward a new location in a convenient part of town. I’ll again mention the need for a new highway department and this would be, although not an ideal location, a better location for our police department.

I can show you a good example of Ticonderoga GETTING WHAT THEY PAID FOR if anyone would care to contact me.

Again, I say let’s 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.

Remember, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

not to turn their back on our ‘neighbors’ and everything around us.”

The Pope’s ambitious schedule which included many significant firsts, was highlighted by a closing Mass in Philadelphia attended by over one million people and seen by millions more digitally around the globe, as part of the World Meeting of Families. The Pope made in clear that the family is the future of the church and the cure for the turmoil in the world today.

“All the love God has in himself, all the beauty and truth he has in himself, he gives it to the family. Family is really family when it’s able to open its arms and receive all that love. Of course, it’s not quite earthly paradise.

There are still problems. Men and women through the astuteness of the devil have learned, unfortunately, how to divide themselves. And all that love God gave, almost was lost. In a little period of time the first crime: the first instance of fratricide. A brother kills another brother – and war. Love and beauty and truth, or war. Between them, we walk ahead. It’s up to us to choose. It’s up to us to decide which path we want to take forward.”

A simple challenge from a simple, and humble man.

Total lunar eclipse Gordie Little

Columnist

M

oon children, gather ‘round.

We certainly had our fun last Sunday night, didn’t we? Full moon, total lunar eclipse, super moon, blood red moon— call it what you will. You did see it, didn’t you?

I was embarrassed to take my simple point-and-shoot camera onto the front porch and click a series from beginning though fullness. For Kaye and me, they were great because we shared the experience—one of many in our long lifetimes. I didn’t put my photos on the Internet because they were pathetic compared to the others, but I will save them.

We stayed up longer than usual to drink it in and had a short sleep, arising at our usual early hour. I was amazed when I checked my “page” to see hundreds upon hundreds of pictures and comments from many states and countries where the eclipse could be seen. I want to publicly thank all who responded. I commented that perhaps the Holy Father’s recent visit and the super moon eclipse would work toward bringing all peoples closer together.

My friends and family know that I take the admonition “love one another” very seriously. Every time I write this column, I try to infuse that sentiment in the words and hope you can feel it as you read.

Kaye hollered from another room, urging me to look outside as I wrote this at 6:40 a.m. on Monday, September 28. I rushed to a window and the spectacular sunrise took my breath away.

We are blessed.

I waxed nostalgic about sun and moon eclipses I have seen in my 78-plus years. My mom and dad understood the important of such moments and took time to explain them and help us assimilate them. I was about four when a solar eclipse occurred while we were at a church camp in Beacon, NY. My mother took an old negative from a drawer and allowed me to look at the darkened sun through it.

At some later time, we made a viewer with a shoe box and pinhole, to protect our young eyes from dangerous exposure.

It’s been a long time since a super moon and total lunar eclipse were on our celestial agenda and the next one will be 18 years down the road. For that reason we’re delighted to have seen that bright orange/red orb last Sunday night. We hope it somehow served, along with the pope’s visit, to mitigate the otherwise cynical cloud that seems to pervade our lives from time to time.

Alice T. Miner announces the Adirondack 102 Club CHAZY — Join author and historian Marty Podskoch for a talk about his latest project, the Adirondack 102 Club, that encourages people to visit all 102 towns and villages in the Adirondacks Saturday, Oct. 10 at 1 p.m.

The idea for the 102 Club began after Podskoch read about Dr. Arthur Peach of Vermont who, in 1954, suggested the idea of an informal group, the Vermont 251 Club, to veer off the beaten path and “discover the secret and lovely places that main roads do not reveal.” Podskoch believed the Adirondacks would benefit from a similar club.

Podskoch worked with residents to describe their towns’ and villages’ location, history and important points of interest, feeling that the perspective of locals would provide unique insights into the locations featured in the book.

He has also served three and a half years as a Saranac Central School Board Member, worked as a finance controller for a printing company and worked several years as a public accountant in KPMG in Boston, Fort Lauderdale and Burlington.

“I would like to see the town continue to grow and be the best that it can be,” LaForest said in a previous interview. “I certainly believe I can be of help and I have the credentials to do it.”

Cashman, originally from Massachusetts, came to Plattsburgh 15 years ago as a student at SUNY Plattsburgh, where he obtained his B.S. in Speech Communications, M.S. in College and Agency Counseling and a job as assistant director for the Center of Student Involvement.

Cashman also served as the president/chair for the founding board of directors to the Adirondack Young Professionals group, the vice president of the Town of Plattsburgh Local Development Corp and a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. He serves now as a town councilman.

“I will have an open door policy and I will try to bring about opportunities that will provide individuals to share their thoughts and opinions so that we can come as close as possible to a shared vision not only for our municipality, but for our region,” Cashman said in a previous interview. “You will see me as an active collaborator within the region and an

He has also traveled extensively in the Adirondacks, visiting all 102 towns and villages and gathering material for his five books on Adirondack fire towers, the Civilian Conservation Corps camps and Adirondack lore and will share the joys of fully experiencing the Adirondacks and getting to know its people and places.

Podskoch has authored six other books: “Fire Towers of the Catskills: Their History and Lore,” two volumes of the Adirondack Fire Towers and Adirondack stories ( “Historical Sketches” and “Adirondack Stories II: 101 More Historical Sketches”). He was awarded the Arthur E. Newkirk ADK Mountain Club Education Award in 2013 for achievement in chronicling the social history and lore of the Catskills and Adirondack fire towers and of the Adirondack Civilian Conservation Corps camps.

ambassador for the Adirondack Coast.”

Both of the candidates’ main priority is to bring new businesses and jobs to community - bringing more employment to both current and future residents.

Another similarity with the two candidates is that they both they want fix issues such as the community’s aging infrastructure, something the candidates running for town councilman want to focus on, as well.

TOWN COUNCILMEN Democrat Tom Wood, along with serving on the Town of Schuyler Falls board for three or four years, has been serving on the Town of Plattsburgh board for 12 years. He plans on continuing.

“I feel that now I’ve had quite a bit of experience working in the town and I have a good handle on what we need to do in the future,” Wood said. “I want to make sure that people have a good place to live Republican John St. Germaine, a veteran who owned St. Germaine’s Home Improvement for 31 years and spent seven years on the Saranac school board, spent eight on the Town of Plattsburgh board between 2000 to 2008. Now, he’s throwing his hat back in the ring.

“I didn’t like the direction the town was going in,” St. Germaine said. “The spending has just gotten out of hand, so I decided I would try to run.”

Democrat Martin Mannix, an almost-lifelong resident of

Plattsburgh, has been involved with the town’s government on and off for 25 years. He too plans on continuing.

“I enjoy the challenges that are involved with tackling the kinds of problems that face us,” Mannix said. “I take satisfaction in seeing our community able to pull together the responses of the problems that they face and find solutions that work for us.”

While all the candidates want to focus on the issue of infrastructure, each candidate shared a different issue they would like to fix in the town.

Similar to Cashman, Wood would like to see the town develop a sound capital budget, while St. Germaine would like the town to focus more on water and sewer issues and Mannix would like the town to improve its development of internet and web services for community members in the Town of Plattsburgh.

OTHER CANDIDATES For the Town of Plattsburgh, there will be three people running unopposed for three different positions.

Democrat James Woods will be running for superintendent of highways.

Democrat James Royce will be running for town justice.

Lastly, Democrat Rickey Collins will be running for town clerk.

Six Objects

The Whallonsburgh Grange has a lineup of speakers every bit as impressive as the title given to their lecture series— “A History of Everything in 6 Objects.”

Every Tuesday in October, a speaker will pluck six objects from the field in which they specialize. Referencing their six selections, they will discuss and demonstrate the history, evolution and significance of things we might otherwise consider common.

This Tuesday, Oct. 6, Gretel Schueller, a local journalist and food-writer, will be peeling away the histories of six related foods. It is no surprise she has selected food items for her talk. What will be interesting is which foods she has chosen and how she will link them to each other and our history.

These show-and-tell-like presentations will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the grange located at 1610 on NYS Route 22, at Whallons Bay Road in Whallonsburg. Additional information can be found at www.thegrangehall.info. The price is $5 per lecture, and students are admitted free.

Grammy nominated musicians A Grammy-nominated duo who have played and recorded their Delta roots blues music in Chicago, Mali and Africa will soon add Saranac Lake to their list of distinguished venues.

The musicians, Bill Sims and Matthew Skoller, have worked together for more than 14 years and have a stack of awards acknowledging their work. The tap on the shoulder from colleagues is nice, but wait until you hear the sound they have perfected: It’s a hint of old time blues layered with contemporary lyrics.

It’s going to be a great show and you’ll be singing your own blues if you miss it.

Make your reservations early by calling 891-3799 or make them online at admin@ bluseedstudios.org. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 7 p.m.

Admission is $18 for the general public and $15 for BluMembers. The BluSeed Studios is located at 24 Cedar Street in Saranac Lake.

OCTO-BEAR-FEST

Duck race

The Great Brant Lake Duck Race, held on Oct. 10, is another event using puns for the greater good.

The float, waddle and win part of the day will be held from noon until 3 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased at local businesses. In addition to the duck race there will be a variety of children’s activities and a free pancake breakfast at the Horicon Fire Department. Sounds like it will be a hoot, call 494-2722 for additional details.

Special Olympics

Mark your calendar for Oct 16-18, when the Special Olympics State Fall Games come to the Glens Falls Civic Center. Nearly 1,000 athletes and coaches from across the state will participate in the 2015 State Fall Games. Athletes will compete in bocce, cross country running, cycling, equestrian, golf team & skills, soccer team and softball team An event of this magnitude needs volunteers to make it run smoothly.

I love a good pun. I am even fonder of an organization that isn’t afraid to use a touch of humor to spread a serious message. Cancer has become so prevalent in our society, everyone knows somebody who is or has struggled with the big C. It’s an ugly, messy and expensive disease. Of course, there are the big expenses, but there are also the day to day financial hits. Gas needed to get to an appointment, telephone minutes to say good night, and a place to stay during treatments, all these things require money.

On Oct, 3, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Hoss’s Campground in Long Lake will be the site of a silly-sounding festival, OCTO-BEAR-FEST. The people behind this event are hoping you will attend their festival, and help them raise money for Randy’s Patient Assistance Fund. This organization helps cancer pa-

PUBLIC The City of Plattsburgh has issued an agreement with a private contractor who will layout, plan and design the improvements and repairs in order to become ADA compliant.

Photo by Willie Santana

Calnon said improvements have already been made, such as the painting of the City Hall parking lot to comply with ADA standards. He said he thought it would be smart to start with City Hall and then go onto other city buildings that need attention.

Painting and fixing the roof, including roof leaks, is a part of the first set of repairs scheduled. Also included in the plan will be repairs to doors on the ground level and the council chambers to allow for streaming capabilities and one or two handicap accessible bathrooms.

Poulin said he is conscious of the efforts the mayor and the city government have made recently but wants to make sure a plan is in place for improvements to continue.

“This current mayor has done further than any other,” Poulin said. “That doesn’t mean it won’t come to a quick stop at some point. We definitely need to see a process that involves the citizens and is a process that is written down on paper.”

Calnon said he prefers quality over quantity, and that is why he wants to prioritize making sure things get done well the first time and not only comply with the act but add comfort for disabled community members. He also stated plans to revamp the city web site to ensure it is compliant, as technology has become so pertinent in city affairs.

“It’s all aspects of government that we need to improve — not just the physical buildings but the electronical as well,” Calnon said. “That’s so much more important today than it was 100 years ago.”

NOTICES•

PLATTSBURGH — In addition to the City of Plattsburgh pledging $350,000 for improvements in order to comply with the Americans with Disability Act, the city government has issued an agreement with a private contractor who will lay out, plan and design the improvements and repairs.

Mayor James Calnon said the city wanted to bring in an independent voice to better define the scope of what improvements are necessary in the city.

“We really want a professional to come in and do the design,” Calnon said. “We’ve issued the contract for it. We think it will take a couple weeks to get done. In the longer run, we’ll be doing that for all of our buildings.”

The goal is for the city to comply with the ADA, which was passed in 1990. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the act prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications and governmental activities.

The North Country Center for Independence, an advocate for disability issues, has asked city officials to perform a citywide assessment of all buildings, programs and services to comply with the act.

Executive Director of the NCCI Robert Poulin said the act has been neglected in Plattsburgh for too long, and that is why the NCCI has been pushing for a city-wide assessment.

“There hasn’t been adequate prioritizing of the issue,” Poulin said. “That’s what we’re really pushing for because we understand it does take time to create access, and you have to plan. You have to budget, and you have to do significant work and that takes time.

Poulin said about six weeks ago he asked city government officials to provide him with a copy of a self-evaluation report, an initial requirement by the ADA when it was passed, which he said he said he doubts was completed.

Calnon said he knows the city government has neglected the act and he understands the frustration of advocates because of how much time has passed. He said he is going to continue to act aggressively for city compliance.

“Our moral commitment is clearly there,” Calnon said.

“Our financial commitment is there to some extent. As I said, we’re not going to fix all buildings instantly, but we are going to make sure that every building we work on will be to ADA standards.”

“It’s going to be a very high quality program,” Marlow said. “It will provide the structure, social development and educational pieces that will help 4 year olds easily transition into kindergarten.

“It’s an amazing educational opportunity to be able to attend.”

Jehudi Ashmun << Continued from | p. 1

He eventually returned to school at Middlebury and then entered the University of Vermont, graduating in August 1816 when he soon found employment as school principal and professor of classical literature at Maine Charity School.

After marrying Catherine Gray in October 1818, he resigned from school and moved to Washington D.C. where he studied religion, published pieces of writing and became aware of slaves in Virginia.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Since Ashmun deplored slavery, he became an active participant in the American Colonization Society. He founded the newspaper The African Intelligencer and wrote about the ACS and their mission — to free blacks in a colony in Liberia.

At the age of 26 in 1822, Ashmun was the leader of a group of settlers and missionaries to Liberia, where he went as a United States representative and came out governor of the colony from 1822 to 1828.

“It’s just amazing that he became such an important figure in the development of Liberia.,” said McFetridge.
