MOOERS — No one was hurt as a fi re tore through one of the  anchors of downtown Mooers Monday, Nov. 10, leaving it a pile  of smoldering rubble.

LaValley concert to benefit Hospice of the North Country Benefit concert to help “give back” to organization By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — On Dec. 7, local artists lead by singer-songwriter Taylor-Renae LaValley will  be  holding  a  benefit  concert  for  Hospice  of  the  North Country, at Olive Ridley’s in Plattsburgh. For LaValley, helping out Hospice is very personal.  When  she  was  only  four,  her  father  succumbed to prostate cancer shortly before Christmas.  Hospice  was  on  hand,  and  even  at  that  young age, she could appreciate all that they did  to  help  out  her  family.  The  help,  she  said,  went  well above just keeping her father comfortable. “It was Christmas time, and they went out and  got us Christmas presents, out of their own pocket,” she remembers.  LaValley  said  that  the  Hospice  workers  who  helped  her  family  bought  those  presents  out  of  their own pockets.

“Hospice  is  just  one  of  those  groups  who  is  willing to do anything to make things better for  you.”      Now LaValley is giving back. Together with  local musicians Jay Lasage and Giovanina Bucci,  LaValley  will  be  performing  her  own  songs  as  well  as  Christmas  favorites  and  carols  at  Olive  Ridley’s, with all money raised going to Hospice.  There will also be a bake sale with items donated  by local stores and bakeries. I’ve just had a lot of great things happen to me,  and  it’s  nice  to  give  back,  and  give  Hospice  the  recognition they need,” she said.  The  concert  will  run  from  4  –  9  p.m.  Anyone  interested  in  learning  more  about  the  benefit,  or  making  a  donation  can  visit  Hospice  Of  The  North  Country  Concert  Benefit  on  Facebook.  For  her  part,  LaValley’s  music  career  is  picking up steam by the day. She will be traveling to  Nashville  soon  to  meet  with  a  record  company  and  discuss  recording  her  music.  She  continues  to perform locally.

What’s next for Greens? Party weighs in on what’s to come Although they fell short of winning office in last week’s state and federal elections, Green Party officials say the best is yet to come. By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS — While NY21 will revert back to red hands after Elise Stefanik’s commanding 21-point victory to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens last week, and the governorship  retained by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, state Green Party  officials see strong inroads for 2016 and beyond.  Matt Funiciello garnered 11 percent of ballots cast  — 18,404 —  and nearly bested Democratic challenger Aaron Woolf in Warren  County with 24 percent, losing to the Elizabethtown-based filmmaker by only 200 votes. District wide, the baker hovered near 10 percent in nearly all  12 counties. Only in Herkimer, Hamilton and Fulton counties did  his fiery brand of populism fail to ignite. The candidate, whose appeal to break from a two-party duopoly  drew  support  from  across  the  political  spectrum,  was  included in all three televised debates and won endorsements from  two of the district’s four daily newspapers.  “What happened last night showed us that a significant portion of the district is no longer interested in corporate candidates  from  the  Democratic  or  Republican  parties,”  he  said  following  last week’s loss.  At  the  state  level,  gubernatorial  candidate  Howie  Hawkins  came in third with 4.9 percent of the vote. Gov. Cuomo won reelection  with  54  percent,  while  GOP  challenger  Rob  Astorino  locked in 40.5 percent.  The  Syracuse-based  postal  worker’s  173,606  votes  far  surpassed  the  50,000  threshold  required  to  retain  ballot  access  for

the next four years. Party  officials  are  elated  at  the  outsized  impact  they  had  on  both races.  With  just  22,307  active  registered  members  statewide  —  they’re  dwarfed  by  the  Democrats  with  a  237-to-1  registration  ratio — they made a big splash in public discussion and moved  the needle into the realm of clear-eyed credibility, a far cry from  the days when their party was haunted by allegations of spoilerism and fringe candidates.  “SPIRIT AND MOTIVATION” New  York  State  Green  Party  co-chair  Michael  O’Neil  said  Team Green now needs to seize upon the wellspring of interest  and develop deep connections with the supporters who invested  their time and resources in the campaigns, even through simple  acts like hosting house parties or requesting lawn signs. He said Democrats and Republicans have historically tweaked  people to get their vote before vanishing.  Not so with the Greens.  “We need to buck the usual trend of disappearing after elections,” he said. “We have the tools to do that — spirit and motivation.” This  post-election  organization-building  process,  he  said,  is  the most exciting part of the campaign. “We’re working to build our reach and for people to be active  with us on a continued basis.” “It’s  really  important  even  though  everyone’s  catching  their  breath  very  quickly,  we’re  just  starting  to  have  conversations  with  our  members  and  allies  to  really  figure  out  what  are  the  next steps,” said co-chair Gloria Mattera. Funiciello  called  it  a  “post-vida”  moment  said  enrollment  is  the top priority: “Without  a  highly  visible  race,  it’s  difficult,”  he  said.  “This  was the race required to do that.”  He anticipates that with the right elbow grease, many voters  can be kept in the Green corner during the next election cycle.

“The question remains, ‘Can we pull enough from those parties?’ We can, but it will just take work that none of us have done  before.” Part of the process will be to scout out potential candidates for  future campaigns, said O’Neil. “We’re IDing people who are the next generation of leaders,”  he  said,  extending  an  open  invitation  to  their  expanding  coalition. O’Neil  said  their  positions  —  anti-fracking,  single-payer  healthcare, $15 minimum wage — surpass those offered by the  Democratic Party, whose relationship to working class voters, he  said, now resembles an abusive relationship. Citing  the  HarperÕ s  cover  story  by  activist  Doug  Henwood  that galvanized the left in September, O’Neil said the party has  moved  so  far  to  the  right,  their  positions  now  resemble  what  were considered mainstream Republican in the 1970s. “They dangle social issues in front of their base to keep them  close,”  he  said.  “People  who  have  not  yet  come  to  access  true  progressive  independent  politics  go  to  other  major  parties  because they don’t know what the other options are.” O’Neil  cited  the  influx  of  outside  money  pouring  in  during  this election cycle, at least $5.5 million in NY21 and gobs more  throughout the state, as an existential threat to American politics.  “We need to raise our resources and put checks on the hijacking of the Democratic process.”  GRASSROOTS The Green Party organizes themselves in affiliated county organizations and what they refer to as “locals.” About a half-dozen affiliated county organizations are dotted  throughout the state, including the Upper Hudson chapter that  encompasses Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Warren  and Washington counties.  The latter may split as result of the enrollment surge generated  by the recent campaigns.  To continue reading this story, visit www.denpubs.com

emocrats received a shellacking last  week  in  a  wave  election  that  saw  Republicans  rack  up  their  highest  numbers in the House of Representatives since  the  1920s.  They  took  over  the  Senate,  a  fi rst  since 2006, and seized a record number of state  legislatures and governor’s mansions. It’s  morning  again  in  America  and  the  sun  is blood-red. We’ll spare you the tripe about healing and  working together for a better tomorrow. But we will pose a thought experiment. After you fi nish reading this column, tear it  out and fi le it away. Pull it out 16 months from now when the political machine is back in full swing. We’re  guessing  you  won’t  be  any  better  off  than you are today. Voters  reduced  Democrats  to  smoldering  rubble last week not because of an ideological  kinship  with  Republicans,  who  presented  no  uniform economic plan of their own, but rather out of disgust with government dysfunction  and executive incompetence. Thirty-four percent of voters, to cite an ABC  News  exit  poll,  said  they  were  voting  in  opposition of President Obama, while 61 percent  expressed dissatisfaction with Republican congressional leaders. With  the  GOP  set  to  control  both  legislative  chambers,  and  with  a  president  who  has  agreed  to  work  with  them  to  fi nd  common  ground,  Republicans  have  now  been  handed  the keys to the economy. They  say  they  will  use  this  political  capital  to pass the legislation stalled by partisan gridlock. This  includes  resurrecting  the  Keystone  pipeline, dusting off a series of moribund jobs  bills and repealing some of the most unsavory  elements  of  the  Affordable  Care  Act,  like  the  tax on medical device manufacturers.  Republicans  have  also  said  they  will  work  to  reform  the  corporate  tax  code  to  make  the  country  more  competitive  for  business;  they  say  they  will  kill  tax  inversions  (the  relocation  of  businesses  to  different  countries)  and  roll  back  energy  regulations,  namely  when  it  comes to regulating carbon dioxide emissions  from coal-fi red power plants. All of this, they claim, will push the econo-

my in the right direction. But  none  of  the  above  will  be  enough  to  stimulate wage growth and tackle the top issue  hindering  economic  recovery  for  the  people  reading this newspaper: Stagfl ation. Infl ation-adjusted  incomes  for  the  middle  class have not gone up since 1999, while infl ation has increased 25 percent during the same  period. Income gains have overwhelmingly gone to  the richest Americans, not regular folks. What’s the antidote? While  the  formula  is  tricky,  recovery  will  only come, in part, once more cash is injected  into  working  class  wallets  through  measures  like  raising  the  minimum  wage  and  signifi cantly  increasing  federal  spending  on  infrastructure projects. In  his  victory  speech,  presumptive  Senate  Majority  Leader  Mitch  McConnell  promised  things will be different. “Just  because  we  have  a  two-party  system  doesn’t mean we have to be in perpetual confl ict,” he said. We  disagree.  This  system  is  the  root  of  all  confl ict.  Democrats will likely try to block most GOP  economic  initiatives  to  deny  them  victories  ahead of 2016, just like what the Republicans,  fueled  by  obstructionist  Tea  Party  rhetoric,  have been doing for the past six years.   The American political system is rigged; this  election was a farce and middle class voters are  the pawns. America’s two-party system has mutated to  a perverted game of political hardball.  Both  count  on  voters  growing  frustrated  every  election  cycle  and  switching  back  and  forth  out  of  a  sense  of  helpless  frustration  —  or, better yet, not voting at all, the fi rst step in  a lifetime of political apathy that benefi ts both  parties. Last  week  saw  the  lowest  turnout  in  any  election since 1940. Only  36.6  percent  of  eligible  voters  turned  out. In New York, that number dropped to 29.5  percent (but rose to 46 percent in NY21). It seems like the $4 billion spent in this election  cycle  had  its  intended  result,  like  those  high-frequency  blasts  used  to  clear  protesters  at riots.

Will we never learn? W

There has been another story  taking place in the recent news  cycle. A heartwarming story to  which I hope both parties paid  you feel? careful  attention.    The  story  is  “Those Damn Republicans!” about Lauren Hill of Mount St.  “Those Damn Democrats!” Joseph,  a  Division  III  school,  “Those Damn Americans!” who  scored  the  fi rst  basket  of  Sadly,  depending  on  your  pothe  2014-15  college  basketball  litical  persuasion,  I  fear  many  of  season  Sunday.  Hill  is  a  freshus  get  more  irritated  by  one  of  Dan Alexander man  with  inoperable  brain  the  fi rst  two  statements.  Many  Thoughts from cancer  and  doctors  have  told  feel  more  connected  to  those  of  Behind the Pressline her she has only a few months  similar  political  allegiances  than  to live. The NCAA allowed the  we do to our fellow countryman.  Of course, anyone who would make either of  schools  to  move  the  game  up  two  weeks  so  those fi rst two statements likely belongs to the  that Hill would have the chance to play. Not  so  surprisingly  was  the  reaction  of  the  other  affi liation,  versus  the  fi nal  statement,  which would more than likely not be made by  opposing team, as 10,000 fans erupted in sheer  joy after Hill scored the fi rst basket. The other  an American.

Letters to the Editor

Common sense party To the Editor: Jeff  MacMakin  from  Putnam  was  stating  flat  fact  about  our  “Democracy was taken over unlawfully on a Christmas Eve” but  not in 1923 — it was in 1913. [Readers] should join me in creating  a Common Sense Party … nationwide.  In  1913,  Congress,  without  a  proper  quorum,  passed  the  illegal, unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act. Congressmen were  bribed, blackmailed and coerced to vote for this unconstitutional, blatantly-illegal perversion on Christmas Eve without even a  required quorum. This means that the Federal Reserve Act was never legitimately passed in 1913. There already is one Common Sense Party in  Clinton  County  where  if  anyone  ran  on  the  party,  it  would  be  listed on the ballot, provide candidates the required number of  signatures from votes they have been to see and help his cause  to  change,  finally  and  forever,  plutocracy-run  government  and  economy.  I also invite Dan Alexander, the Denton staff, and its readers to  help shape the party’s principles.

My  first  one  is  no  document,  image,  record  or  other  form  of  information  about  what  the  government  acquires  should  be  “classified” in any manner that remains hidden from public view  more than 10 years for National Security.  Embarrassment about  an “op” is not cause for classifying something per “National Security”  it  is  because    of  the  so  many  secrets  that  we  are  in  the  mess we are in nationally and worldwide. I know web links are difficult in letters, but this link is worth  following  and  it  is  short...  but  exact  letters  in  caps  or  small  or  important: ow.ly/DuXOz. Robert H. Williams, Mooers

Be a leader in your community To the Editor: One of the qualities of leadership is having a sense of purpose  that directs a person to use his or her strengths to help others. If  you are interested in becoming a leader in your community, consider supporting the United Way at the Leadership level. Leadership Giving affords you the opportunity to be part of something

much greater than any of us can achieve alone. Last year, leadership giving amounted to almost 23 percent of the funds raised. Leadership giving brings with it the great satisfaction of helping those who are struggling in our community.  It is also your  chance to be part of the solution, to connect and be recognized  with others who share your commitment to doing more.   Leadership can be done through a one-time donation or payroll deduction.  Your gift of $500 or more, given directly to United Way of the Adirondack Region, will make a significant impact  in your community. Leadership giving is possible for as little as  $10 per week. You can also reach a leadership level by combining  gifts with a partner or spouse at another workplace. Donations  can also be made anonymously.  Your  donation  supports  41  essential  programs  in  your  community,  such  as  Hospice  of  the  North  Country  and  Life  Flight.  Last year, over 80,000 lives were touched by programs supported  by  the  United  Way  of  the Adirondack  Region,  Inc.  The  money  raised here, stays here. To support programs and services in your  area, call the United Way today at 563-0028 and ask how you can  become a Leadership Giver.  Bruce and Marge Garcia 2015 United Way Co-Chairs

Kitten hidden inside truck engine compartment adopted Cat rescued and given a home at Knight Automotive By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — A young cat is down to eight lives, after a  harrowing trip in the engine compartment of a GMC truck.  Rob  Howard,  a  mechanic  at  Knight  Automotive  in  Plattsburgh, says that on September 29 he received a call from a customer, who said that she had found a kitten hiding in the engine  compartment of her GMC Sierra. She and several neighbors tried  to  get  the  kitten  out  with  a  garden  hose,  but  the  young  feline  hunkered down under the vehicle’s air filter.  “Because he was feral, I know he was looking for a warm place  to go,” said Howard. Howard asked if she could bring the vehicle in and he would  try  to  get  the  cat  out.  Not  long  after,  she  came  pulling  in,  and  Howard met her in the parking lot. “I could just see him under the air filter. I took it off, and he  jumped  down  on  to  the  frame.  I  got  close  to  him,  and  he  ran  down the side of the frame and then jumped up onto the transmission,” he said.

Here’s “Sierra,” the lucky cat that went from engine compartment to dealership home. Photo by Shawn Ryan

Howard crawled under the truck, and eventually was able to  get the cat to leave the hot transmission and run across the parking lot. He and the vehicle owner chased it, eventually cornering  the scared kitten behind a bush in front of the dealership. They  caught him and wrapped him in a shirt, and brought him inside

the dealership. Knight  automotive  is  very  animal-friendly,  and  owner  Rich  Knight adopted the kitten on the spot, naming him Sierra after  the make of the truck he was hiding in. Knight brought Sierra to  a local vet and had him checked out, and treated for worms and  ear mites.  “This one, he just reminds us of a cat we had years ago. He’s  just tremendous, so we decided to keep him,” said Knight.  “All he does is purr now. He’s really a good cat.” Knight  keeps  Sierra  mostly  in  his  spacious  office,  complete  with a climbing tower and cat bed, bringing him out periodically  to get acclimated with the busy showroom. Numerous customers have asked to adopt Sierra, but he’s not going anywhere. The  woman who initially found him stops to visit, and brings in toys  for Sierra.  “Regal (one of the other two cats at the dealership) gives him  baths,” said Knight. “He’s got a great personality and hopefully  he’ll be here for years to come.” Sierra still has an affinity for GMC motors. One day he jumped  off the desk of one of Knight’s salesmen, and ran into the engine  compartment of a truck on the showroom floor. He didn’t fight  as hard to stay in that time.  Sierra has definitely hit the stray-cat lottery.

CVES children unearth time capsule to look back in the past Champlain Valley Educational Services takes students outside to look back in time By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — As the first flurries of winter gathered above,  students at Champlain Valley Educational Services in Mineville  gathered in the lobby, faces pressed against the glass.  Elementary  Special  Education  Teacher  Anthony  Biasini  led  them outside, gave them shovels and asked them to dig.  Legend had it that a time capsule was buried several feet below the surface.  None could nail down an exact date. Maybe ten years, perhaps  even 20.  But it was there, said Biasini. A custodian tipped him off.  “It just kind of mushroomed from there,” he said. The group peered at the strip of grass between the building at  the cul-de-sac.  “It’s a good thing we’re doing this before the ground freezes,”  said a boy.  Behind him, a crack team of excavators waited.  Yellow handles blurred, dirt started flying. “Get  close  to  the  wall,”  said  Biasini.  “Right  up  there  by  the  building.” “Pass the shovels!” they hollered.  “I hit something!” yelled a student.  And there it was, a dull flash of white in the dark rich soil.  The kids fished it out, a meter-long PVC pipe.  They handed it to an aide, who produced a replacement capsule stuffed full of modern-day artifacts, like lunch menus, photos and copies of this week’s Times of Ti. Back in the lunchroom, the kids gathered around Biasini, a 23-

year veteran, as he attempted to open the tube.  “Go get some grip gloves,” observed one.  “How  about  a  pair  of  pliers,”  said  another.  “Lefty-loosey  righty-tighty.”  Biasini  twisted  the  top. A  man  later  produced  a  wrench  and  then… pop! A hush fell over the room.  He  reached  in  and  produced  the  first  item,  a  bright  white  Tshirt emblazoned with colorful handprints and student names. The date? 1997. “You can still smell the paint!” marveled one. Other items followed as the students jostled for their turn to  pull ziploc bags from the slender tube — class rosters, photos of  faculty and staff with retro attire and antiquated hairstyles. “That’s Mr. Rondake!” said a teacher.  Students appeared to be baffled over a cassette tape.  “You can watch movies on it!” said a boy.  He  appeared  flummoxed  when  told  it  was  a  device  used  to  listen to music. “Why?” he asked. “Because that’s all we had back then!” said a teacher.  The capsule was originally supposed to be opened in 2022, according to notes contained within.  “As we prepare for our imminent journeys, we will have made  our future endeavors a reality,” said a laminated poster. “We will  always remember and never forget the good times, the bad times,  and the friendships that have developed throughout the years.” Biasini said the items would be cataloged and stored in a display case. Doing so, he said, would instill a sense of place and  history with the students.  And then they disappeared, back to the classrooms.

We  all  bear  responsibility.  After  all,  most  of  us  aren’t  activists and have to work for a living, leaving little time for political  analysis.  But  when  this  circus  roars  back  to  life  in  the  next  year-or-so  — or earlier, considering how America is now engaged in a permanent campaign — ask yourself a simple question: “Am I better  off?” If not, then the choice is simple: Vote for a third party candidate. You’ve got nothing to lose — or at very least, nothing to gain  from the continuation of the status quo. According to Gallup, 58 percent of Americans say a third po-

North Countryman - 7 litical party is needed because Republicans and Democrats “do  such a poor job” of representing the American people. None of this is to say that Democrat and Republican policies  are  uniformly  harmful  —  both  have  some  bright  spots  —  but  rather they’re just caught in a poisonous quicksand in a duopoly  that can no longer be trusted with governance.  The next legislative sessions will bring no quick fixes, no fresh  new ideas. Nothing will change.  What did we learn from this?  It’s time to break the cycle.

Mooers firefighters stood by across the road  with a pumper truck in case they were needed.  Numerous  bystanders  could  be  seen  gazing  at  the remains of the building as they walked by,  some taking pictures with cell phones. Investigation into the cause of the blaze will  likely take several days.

Sash (short for Sasha)  German Shepherd/Sheltie mix Arrived Nov. 1, 2014 Tan and white, eight years old, 48 pounds,  female Sasha  is  a  great  dog  that  was  regretfully  s u r r e n d e r e d  by  her  owners  because  their  baby  was  allergic  to  her.  Sash,  short  for  Sasha,  is  great  around  kids.  She  is  very  active  and  likes  to  be  with  her  people.  Sash  gets  along  with  some  dogs,  but  not  all  dogs.  Sasha  seems  to  be  okay  around  cats.  She  will  definitely  bark  when  someone  comes to the door. Sasha asks for the door and  likes  to  please  her  people.  Sash  would  love  to  find  a  home  where  she  would  get  plenty  of exercise and lots of love. She pulls a bit on  the leash at first, but she stops after a bit. She  misses  her  family  and  would  love  to  belong  to a new family soon. Come in and meet this

Always Do Your Best

Michele Armani and Sally Meisenheimer “Always Do Your Best” was the focus of conversation in the  last of The Four Agreements Series held at the Champlain Wine  Company.  Most people learn easily from a relatable story, where things  have  gone  either  terribly  wrong,  tremendously  right,  or  a  simple truth was revealed. We shared some classic parables of The  Cracked  Pot  and  The  Sword  Master  to  demonstrate  the  beauty  of flaws and the passion of being single minded. Telling or passing on a story evokes emotion and discussion, which ultimately  satisfies what we are all seeking; deeper meaning in life.  When  we realize that real heroes and heroines have experienced more  defeat than success and have flaws and weaknesses, doing our  personal best doesn’t seem as daunting.  In  sharing  this  discussion  with  you,  our  ‘Burgh  Readers,  we  pose the question: Does it need to be someone else’s story that we  learn from or can we be introspective enough to learn from our  own “story”?  We believe we can learn from our own story when  we  approach  experiences  with  honesty,  clarity  of  purpose,  and  forgiveness, when necessary. Our “story” can become the foundation for living our best when we celebrate our successes and

www.northcountryman.com move  forward  with  positive  intention. So what does  it  take  to  be  our  best, do our  best?    Different  app r o a c h e s  direct us at different junctures in our lives. Doing our best takes  a lifetime of persistent seeking, evaluation, and action. Consider some different approaches and make a simple starting plan to Always Do YOUR Best: •To  do  your  best,  you  must  accept  yourself  as  you  presently  are  and  as  a  positive  work  in  progress. •Doing  your  best  should be an exhilarating action, not the  seeking  of  a  verbal  or financial reward.  •Through  gentle  exploration,  understand  that  your  physical  and  emotional  energy  waxes  and  wanes, ebbs and flows. Knowing and/or accepting our natural  energy  cycles  helps  in  examining  when  we  should  strive  to  do  our best and when we might want to be more forgiving of ourselves.  Your best is always changing; sometimes it is high qual-

North Countryman - 9 ity and sometimes low. •Knowing your vulnerabilities is just as important as knowing  and using your polished talents. Vulnerabilities are what make  you compassionate, “real”, approachable, and supported by others in your development.  •Focus  on  what  you ARE  rather  that  what  you AREN’T.  Be  aware, but don’t dwell in a place of impossibility.  Your best is  much different from someone else’s best. It reflects your capabilities, time, and strengths. •Accomplishment, ultimately, is what defines our legacy. Accomplishment can be a very personal endeavor without competition. Define your own success and feel good about it. •Listening, discerning, and relating, either contemplatively or  aloud, are easy actions that aid in finding our best path. This is  the more active version of spending time and attention in order  to thrive. •Be  appreciative  and  complimentary  of  others  BEST  accomplishments. •Let  go  of  past  disappointments,  failures,  and  regrets.  Make  amends, forgive yourself, learn from a mistake and make an honest decision to not repeat it! •We are in this life for the long haul; use moderation, patience  and  kindness.  Try  to  avoid  self  judgment,  self  abuse/punishment, guilt, blame and regret. Recently,  we  were  humorously  reminded  of  the  high  school  cheer; “Good, better, best….never let it rest, ‘til your good is better and your better is best”. We wish you well on your journey of  seeking your own “personal best”.

Eric said. “We didn’t envision making a living at it, but it evolved  to that point.”  Before they formed a band, the brothers started playing music together in the early ‘80s, playing at fi ddle contests and fi eld  days. They gradually started playing music and became serious  about it while attending SUNY Plattsburgh.   “The  Gibson  Brothers  have  a  special  relationship  to  SUNY  Plattsburgh,”  said  Stephen  Light,  associate  vice  president  for  Academic Affairs at SUNY Plattsburgh. “They’re kind of our favorite  sons,  and  they’re  very  successful  alums  of  SUNY  Plattsburgh.”   The band recorded their fi rst album in 1994 and signed  a contract with Hay Holler Records a year later.   Since then, the group has won numerous, prestigious awards  such as Song of the Year in 2013, Album of the Year in 2011 and  2012 and Entertainer of the Year in 2012 and 2013. This year, the  band  signed  with  Rounder  Records  and  are  putting  on  many  concerts including this concert, which is sponsored by Bluegrass  for the Next Generation (BGNG).

‘BLUEGRASS PROJECT’  BGNG  started  in  2011  intended  to  promote  bluegrass  music,  education and awareness at SUNY Plattsburgh and in the North  Country,  and  it  was  launched  during  the  summer  of  that  year  with a generous donation from an anonymous donor.   “This is a person who had retired and really likes bluegrass,  especially  the  Gibson  Brothers,”  Light  said.  “So,  he  wanted  to  donate money to the college to promote bluegrass awareness and  playing among college students.”   The  fi rst  phrase  of  the  project  began  Feb.  21  when  SUNY  Plattsburgh’s WARP radio station started broadcasting an hour  of bluegrass three times a week, and the program runs from noon  to 1 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday throughout  the semester.  The second phase of the project took place March 23 when the  Gibson  Brothers  performed  for  a  benefi t  concert,  and  all  funds  raised  by  the  show  went  to  the  project  to  help  fi nance  future  scholarships, concerts, courses and visiting artists.   “I think our affi liation is evolving, [but] we are so busy on the  road  that  we  haven’t  been  as  involved  as  we  had  hoped,”  Eric  said. “I hope to have more presence.”

Chazy boys shut out Lisbon 3-0 in state quarterfinals win Eagles move on to state semifinals Nov. 15 with a shot at the Class D championship By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com POTSDAM  —  Rob  McAuliffe  and  his  team  will get another shot at a NYSPHSAA Class D  soccer three-peat. The Chazy Eagles punched their ticket to the  NYSPHSAA Class D Final Four with a 3-0 win  over Section X’s Lisbon Nov. 7. Chazy controlled much of the game, but was  unable to score early against a solid Lisbon defense. Just after missing a shot attempt off the head  in  the  18th  minute,  Josh  Barriere  was  able  to  find  a  second  chance  off  an  aerial  pass  from  Gage Ducatte, putting the ball into the net for a  1-0 lead and the only goal in the first 40 minutes  of play. The Eagles held an 8-2 shot advantage,  putting four on frame, with one save for Chazy  keeper  Austin  Gravelle  and  three  for  Lisbon  goalie Nick Spooner. ”They  had  a  good  game  plan  against  us,”  Chazy head coach Rob McAuliffe said. “If Josh

had not scored that first goal it might have been  a different game.” The Eagles picked up the offensive pressure  in  the  second  half,  but  Spooner  was  up  to  the challenge  until  the  58th  minute,  when  a  ball  played  deep  into  the  Lisbon  box  was  mishan-

dled by a defender to give Chazy a 2-0 lead on  an own goal. In the 63rd minute, Barriere found the net for  the second time, going low to the left post off a  second assist from Ducatte for a 3-0 Eagle lead. ”This was a team effort and I knew we could

do it,” Barriere said. “We work well in the flow  of play, we know who’s open and when to call  for the ball.” The Eagles return to Middletown having not  allowed a goal in the playoff rounds. ”I know we have a solid defense and a great  goalie  behind  us,”  senior  defender  Keagan  O’Connor said. “I always know what the keeper  wants me to do and if my wing backs are open.” “We  knew  they  had  good  forwards  and  we  would have to bring our A game on defense today,” Barriere said. ”When you get to the state playoffs, you cannot  give  up  any  goals,”  McAuliffe  said.  “The  chances  to  score  against  the  competition  you  face are going to be very few.” The  duo  of  Barriere  and  Zach  Brothers  continued  to  keep  midfield  shape  for  the  Eagles,  allowing the team to play their style of possession soccer. ”We have been together for a long time and  have a good bond,” Brothers said. ”Jost and Zach are so important for us to control the game and generate chances,” McAuliffe  said. Spooner  played  a  solid  game  in  net  for  Lisbon, keeping the ball out of the net on several  prime  opportunities  to  keep  his  team  within  range for as long as possible. He finished with  12 saves.

Bulldogs sneak by Lady Eagles in overtime 2-1 to advance Chazy girls fall just short of trip to semis with quarterfinal loss to Chateaugay By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com POTSDAM — In a game that saw few opportunities on frame,  the  Chateaugay  Lady Bulldogs  were able  to  find  the  difference  maker in the first 10 minute overtime for a 2-1 win against Chazy  Nov. 7 to advance to the Class D final four. The Lady Eagles opened the scoring in the 14th minute when  Bailey Pepper found the foot of Lindsey Gilmore, who put a shot

over  the  head  of  the  Chateaugay  keeper  Holly  Zeldenhurst  for  a 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs responded 10 minutes later, when Danielle Cook  scored on a Rachael Young assist. Chateaugay held a 7-2 advantage in shots in the first half and  had  the  only  shot  in  the  second  half,  which  was  not  on  frame.  Gwen  LaPier  had  four  saves  in  regulation,  while  Zeldenhurst  recorded one. In the third minute of the first overtime, (83rd overall), Katie  Beach took a through pass from Brianna Cook and put the ball to  the wide side of LaPier to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead. Chazy got their first shot on goal since the first half in the 85th  minute, which was easily saved by Zeldenhurst. The Eagles were  able to put pressure on the Chateaugay defense in the final five

minutes of play but were unable to find the equalizer. ”Chateaugay  always  gives  us  a  run  for  our  money  and  I  am  proud of my team,” Chazy head coach Karin Sherman said. “I do  not know if it was nerves or anticipation of where we could go,  but we were a little off tonight. We were giving the ball up when  we should have kept it.” Trombley said her core of seniors, which includes Rachel Pombrio,  Kateyn  Therrian,  Kayleigh  Bell,  Airiana  Hagen,  Hannah  Laurin, Kinnan Latremore, Olivia Blais, Maura Tormbley, Skyler  Thomas, Abbey Snide and Paige Barcomb, have had a successful  career. ”They have a ton of heart,” she said. “They were part of a progam that had two state titles in three years. My high school has  not been back in 26 years.”

Beekmantown boys advance to semis, girls fall game short Beekmantown to face third-ranked Livonia in state semifinals

Beekmantown finishes season with an 18-1 mark and a Section VII Class B championship

By Barrie Finnegan

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH  —  The  whole  outcome  of  the  game  was  decided  on  one  big  play  by  the  Beekmantown Eagles. On a free kick by Calem Sullivan, an Ichabod  Crane defender headed the ball away from the  net, but Kaden Baugh directed that ball to Noah  Osborne, who ripped a shot towards goalie Peter Volkmann.  Volkmann made a diving save on Osborne’s  shot but failed to keep possession. The rebound  went out to Ryan Waterbury who would not let  the  golden  opportunity  slip  away.  Waterbury  sent  the  shot  inside  the  left  post  for  the  goahead and eventual game-winning goal. The  Eagles  travel  to  Middletown  next  week to take on Livonia from Section V in the  NYSPHSAA  Class  B  Final  Four.  Livonia  is  located  south  of  Rochester  in  the  Geneseo  area.  Livonia beat East Aurora 2-1 to gain their birth  in the semifinals.  The  other  final  four  matchup  is  Skaneateles  against Mattituck. The Eagles came out fast, dictating the pace  and  controlling  the  ball  in  the  mid-field  and  keeping  most  of  the  action  in  their  offensive  zone.  Beekmantown  head  coach  Ryan  Loucy  said  he  was  excited  to  see  them  come  out  aggressive, just like they had all year long.  “Our  kids  were  just  ready,“  said  Loucy.  “They came out with energy.”  With the location being nearly a home game,  Loucy  felt  his  team  was  ready  while  Ichabod  Crane  needed  some  time  to  shake  off  the  bus  ride. Ichabod  Crane  goalie  Peter  Volkmann  was  tested  quickly  and  often  throughout  the  game  on his way to 14 saves. He stopped everything  except  the  game  winner  that  he  didn’t  stand  much of a chance on.  On  the  other  end,  his  counterpart  Colden  Mrak  had  a  relatively  quiet  afternoon.  Mrak

was only called upon once to make a save. The  shutout was testimony to a solid defense spearheaded by Kaden Baugh. Baugh was also seen  coming  up  occasionally  to  get  involved  in  the  offense, as was apparent on the scoring play. Coach  Loucy  was  very  proud  of  his  team  leaders. ”Price was all over the place as well as Proper,  Baugh  and  Waterbury,”  Loucy  said.  “Ryan  Waterbury  usually  plays  the  traditional  forward  where  he  receives  the  ball  and  we  come  up to support him, but tonight he was all over  the place.” The  coach  was  also  impressed  by  how  the  whole  team  played  a  disciplined  game  and  played within the system. When asked what the  plan was for Middletown, he smiled. “Have fun,” he said.

Westhill  finished  with  a  22-9  advantage  in  shots  on  goal,  but  the  Eagles  weren’t  without  their chances. Kallie Villemaire wove through the Warriors’  defense for a strong shot on goal late in the first  half  and  Kirsten  Villemaire’s  long  direct  kick  from  near  midfield  in  the  second  bounced  past  Westhill’s  defense  only  to  end  up  in  the  hands  of their goalie. The  Eagles  got  close  to  getting  on  the  board  again with a well-placed corner kick with seven  minutes remaining but couldn’t get it in the back  of the net. Then, with 4:08 left, Jayanna Monds picked up  her second score of the game off a corner for the  final tally of the game. “They’ve  grown  so  close  to  each  other  all  year,” said Bursik. “They’re just a great group. I  wish that just once we could get to the final four,  but maybe we’ll have an opportunity again next  year.” The game was the last for Beekmantown seniors Bethany Simpson, Kallie Villemaire, Santana  Vicencio-Labarre and Carlee Casey, who Bursik  said  the  team  rallied  around  after  her  seasonending torn ACL. “I’m going to miss them,” added Bursik.

PLATTSBURGH — The Beekmantown Eagles  were  given  a  tough  draw  in  facing  the  state’s  top-ranked  Class  B  team  in  the  state  quarterfinals Nov. 8. Beekmantown  played  Westhill  tight  through  most of the first half, but an apparent leg injury  to starting goalkeeper Maggie Chauvin and two  late goals by the Warriors put the Eagles in a hole  too deep to overcome. The Eagles lost 3-0, finishing the year just shy  of the state semifinals and capping off a perfect  Section VII season and 1-1 mark in the playoffs. “This  year  was  special,”  said  Beekmantown  coach  Pete  Bursik  after  the  loss.  “I  couldn’t  be  more proud of these girls.” The Warriors gained an early shot advantage  in  the  first  half  but  the  Eagles  held  them  out  of  the  goal  until  Jayanna  Monds  took  a  fast  break  pass  from  Tatiana  Monds  and buried it for the 1-0 lead. Four  minutes  later,  Erin  McMullen floated a long direct  kick  from  near  the  corner  into  the  far  side  of  the  Beekmantown  net  and  over  Kelsey Baker to go up two. Chauvin, who suffered an  apparent  leg  injury  chasing  down a loose ball after stopping  a  hard  Westhill  shot,  remained on the sidelines to  support her team. Despite losing his starting  goalie, Bursik said the direct  kick  goal  would  have  been  nearly  impossible  for  either  Kallie Villemaire works against Westhill’s Tatiana Monds in Beekmantown’s Chauvin  or  Baker  to  get  a  quarterfinal loss Nov. 8. hand on.

North Countryman - 13

His Indian name was Tenderfoot

A An interesting week in the Adirondacks I

t  has  been  an  interesting  week  in  the  Adirondacks,  and  fortunately, I spent a fair portion of it in camp.  While a blanket of fresh snow currently caps the upper  elevations  of  the  High  Peaks  region,  a  majority  of  the  region’s  big game hunters have yet to enjoy a decent tracking snow. However, the lack of snow ranks as just a minor blip on the  radar screen when compared to a few of the more recent woodland threats. Once again, there has been another outbreak of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in the east as the disease recently reared it’s  ugly head in Ohio. Fortunately, NYSDEC reacted quickly to announce new regulations  that  prohibit  importing  into  New  York  certain  parts  of  white-tailed  deer,  elk  or  moose  that  were  taken  in  the  state  of  Ohio.  It  was  an  outbreak  of  CWD  a  few  years  ago  that  prompted  DEC to put a permanent end to the long held tradition of feeding deer herds during the winter months in the Adirondacks. Although  the  feeding  ban  has  been  in  effect  for  over  a  half  dozen years, it continues to stir up controversy and occasional  bad blood. CWD  is  a  highly  contagious  and  deadly  disease  that  affects  the  brain  and  central  nervous  system.    CWD  is  almost  always  fatal to deer; there are no vaccines or treatment for the disease. New York State has a tremendous white-tailed deer herd and  a small, but expanding, moose population.  Preventing  the  introduction  of  CWD  into  New  York  from  hunter-killed carcasses is vital to protecting the health of New  York’s deer and moose populations.  The most effective way to  protect New York’s deer and moose herds is to keep CWD infectious  material  out  of  the  state,  and  hunters  play  an  important  role in this effort. A times, it seems there is a new threat arriving in the region  nearly  every  month.    In  the  forests,  there’s  been  the  emerald  ash borer, the hemlock woolly adelgid and the Asian long-horn  beetles.  There is also Giant Hogweed. In the waters there is purple loosestrife, and Japanese Knotweed on the shore.   Currently, invasives are directly responsible  for the decline of nearly half of the threatened species in the US. Ticks, which have never traditionally posed much of a problem in the region, are now responsible for a growing epidemic  of Lyme Disease in many parts of the park.  The huge rebound among New York’s geese population  has  been responsible for over  80 plane strikes costing millions and  killed  at  least  24  people.    The  infamous  “Miracle  on  the  Hudson” plane crash was due to Canadian geese.

Often  it  appears  the  natural  world,  at  least  the  one  we  knew as children, has  become  an increasingly scary and dangerous place.

Moose on the Loose

It  is  the  time  of  year  again,  when  bull  moose  begin  wandering  about  the  region  and  looking  for  love  in  all  the  wrong places.   North  Country  motorists  should  be  extra  cautious  and  on  the  lookout  for  moose,  especially in the low light, near dusk.  Car accidents are much worse  with a moose than they are with a deer. Typically, deer are struck by a vehicle’s fender, while moose,  being much taller, come through the windshield. Deer hunters should also be wary about running into moose  in  the  woods.    Last  year,  on  the  opening  day  of  the  Big  Game  season, a group of local deer hunters encountered a bull, a cow  and a calf on their very fi rst ‘drive’ of the new year. Over the years, I’ve stumbled across numerous moose, both  on the water and on land. My  closest  moose  encounter  actually  occurred  in  the  side  yard of a house located in the middle of Lake Placid village. I’ve  also  paddled  along  side  a  moose  while  fi shing  on  Fish  Pond, but it wasn’t much of a contest. The moose was using four  paddles, and I had only one.  The  moose  made  its  way  to  shore  and  quickly  disappeared  into the woods.

Report your Moose sighting

The NYSDEC recently released a press release asking for the  public’s cooperation in locating moose. If you happen to see a moose, the Department requests that  you report it immediately to the DEC at 897-1291.  The DEC is seeking public assistance in an effort to learn more  about New York State’s largest mammal. More information on  moose  can  be  found  on  the  DEC  web  site  at  dec.ny.gov/animals/6964.html Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

n  old  dirt  road  once  snaked  its  way  through  the  woodland  between  North  Hudson and Keene, unrolling  through  the  Adirondack  forest like a crooked streambed. The road was well traveled  by the local citizenry — trappers,  loggers,  merchants  and  the  like,  but  eventually  vanished  into  the  Adirondack  countryside, giving way to alternate  roadways  that  nearly  doubled the trip.  But  a  handful  of  old  timers  could  still  picture  it  in  their  mind’s eye.  One of those people was my uncle Ed, who swore he could  feel  the  difference  on  the  sole  of  his  weather-beaten  muck  boots as he crossed the area where the road once existed. “Here it is,” he’d say, standing on what looked to me like  undisturbed forest. “It’s quite easy to feel the difference,” he’d  add, stepping on and off the imaginary hardpan and looking  inquisitively in your direction to make sure you were paying  close attention. “The  camp  bottom  is  right  over  there,”  he’d  continue,  pointing  in  the  direction  of  another  long  defunct  landmark  known only to those who lived to see it. “That’s the way back to camp,” he’d say gesturing into the  dense underbelly of spruce’s and tag alders. My  uncle  would  often  refer  to  that  road  in  tales  of  hunts  long gone by. As a young lad, he’d offer it to me as a natural  boundary along one of our favorite deer drives. “Stay to the right of the road, or it’s next stop Keene,” he’d  say through one of his famous toothless grins. Oh how that ghostly road intrigued me.  Problem  was  I  had  absolutely  no  idea  what  Ed  was  talking about. I could dance barefoot on the thing and not feel it  beneath my toes. Eventually, through years and years of hunting the country,  I came to recognize where the old road ran — mostly through  picturing Ed’s leathered hand pointing through the woods at  the contour of the land there. For  years  I  kept  that  secret,  not  wanting  Ed  to  know  I  hadn’t  the  woods  sense  to  fi gure  out  where  a  hardpan  road  had once run. Until  one  evening  after  a  long  day’s  hunt  and  a  bit  too  much bubbly. “I’ve  never  been  able  to  feel  that  freaking  road  with  my  feet,”  I  blurted  to  Ed  under  the  dull  glow  of  gas  lanterns,  interrupting  a  deer  story  he  was  halfway  through,  the  focal  point of which was the old road. Ed looked dazed, as if I had popped him over his hairless  head with the woodstove poker. “You must have tender feet or something,” I said, causing a  smattering of chuckles from my fellow camp goers.  “I think your Indian name should be Tenderfoot,” I added,  eliciting a long laugh from Ed. Before long the rest of the crew had fessed to the fact that  they, too, could not feel the road beneath their feet. So the name stuck.  Ed would forever be known in camp by  his Indian name — Tenderfoot. John Gereau is managing editor of Denton Publications and an avid outdoorsman.

This cow moose was discovered sleeping under the porch of a local Lake Placid residence. It was fond of feeding in their garden and could often be found there in the middle of the day.

Jay Lapointe of Putnam and Dallas Jordan treated Mayson Lapointe to a day in the woods last weekend where he was able to see his big brother harvest this nice six-pointer in Crown Point. Congratulations Dallas!
