Rouses Point officials dissolve village court Discussions underway with Champlain town court on accommodating new caseload

By Teah Dowling

ROUSES POINT — The village court has been abolished.

Last week, village officials unanimously passed a resolution to dissolve the village court.

The idea had been batted around to close the projected budget shortfalls left by the pending departure of Pfizer in 2018, which officials project will create over $2 million in revenue losses.

“We’re going to have to make some tough decisions,” Mayor Daniel Letourneau said. “But we have to figure out ways to

save money.”

Total annual costs for the three-justice court are $76,792, including technology and clerk costs.

Letourneau said the dissolution become official until the term John LaBonte, who also serves as a town of Champlain justice, ends in March.

Until then, discussions on how to accommodate the new caseload will continue, said Champlain Town Court Judge Kevin Triller.

“It’s going to be more work,” he said. “We have to prepare for it.”

That might include expanding the schedule to add another night. More hours, office space and staff might have to be added, said Triller.

PERU — A tree from a local farm is on its way to be a Christmas attraction in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Last week, Covel’s Tree Farm in Peru cut down and shipped off a Colorado blue spruce to the City of Brotherly Love, Teah where it will adorn the Blue Cross RiverDowling Rink.

Writer “It’s an unique thing to have one of our trees being sent all the way to Philadelphia,” said Owner Don Covel. “It’s unreal.”

The 40-foot blue spruce was planted in 1968.

“We don’t normally produce that big of a tree,” he said. “It was a challenge to maintain that caliber of height.”

Normally, the farm grows trees up to 26-feet tall.

Officials from the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, the agency that brokered the sale, Covel said, picked out that specific tree because of its green hue.

The Peru tree is going to be featured during one of the city’s biggest events – Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest – on Dec. 2 with the fourth annual tree lighting ceremony. “I wish I could go see it all lit up and decorated,” he said. “But we need to get

MORRISONVILLE — Following a series of successful clinics facilitated this year to test Vietnam veterans for hepatitis C, the innovative local program now plans to expand past its Clinton County footprint.

Earlier this month, 201 vets from the Vietnam War era were tested for hepatitis C at the American Legion Post 1619 in Morrisonville. That clinic joined the first-ever free clinic earlier this year that tested 401 veterans.

Based on that success, the post now wants to expand the program to other municipalities across the state.

“The fact that we’re going to other places is quite certain,” said Post 1619 Medical Officer Danny Kaifetz. “We would be happy to go wherever people need us.”

As part of the post’s statewide awareness campaign, which started earlier this year, the goal is to get all Vietnam-era veterans tested for the blood-borne virus, the spread of which Kaifetz believes was expedited by the use of jet guns designed >> See Hep C Testing | pg. 13

Progress stalled on Mooers Free Library construction Failure to secure loan cited as culprit, says library board treasurer

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

MOOERS — The Mooers Free Library Board is not looking toward completing the new building by the end of the year.

Construction on the proposed new Mooers Free Library will not be completed by year’s end, board members reported last week.

Library Board Treasurer Art Menard made the announcement during last week’s board meeting.

“It’s not impossible,” he said, “but it’s very unlikely.”

The reason is because the board failed to receive $20,000 in projected funds.

Library Board President Tim Gonyo declined to offer specifics, citing a desire to move forward.

“It didn’t work out,” he said. “There were a lot more hoops than expected.”

Library officials also tried to apply for a loan to cover the water and sewer costs, along with interior renovations.

Gonyo said the board is now exploring additional funding opportunities.

So far, a majority of the building’s funding has come out of the New York State Library Division of Library Development.

The former board was awarded $54,165 in 2012-13. That funding was split up into three increments: $30,467 to start off, $19,881 in 2014/15 and $3,817, which is yet to be received.

Menard said he plans on sending out a report within the next month or so to receive that remaining funding.

That amount alone, Menard said, is not enough to cover the rest of the renovations, which the board anticipates to be around $40,000.

In an effort to raise funds, the library board started a fundraiser called “Brick by Brick.”

Earlier this month, the board sent out postcards to every home and p.o. box in Mooers with details of the campaign.

Residents and business owners have the opportunity to purchase and personalize a brick, which will be displayed in the entrance area of the new facility near the elementary school once it’s completed.

So far, Gonyo said about $3,000 has been raised.

The goal, he said, is to raise $20,000 by the end of the year and $50,000 next year.

“I’m hopeful that this will work out,” he said. “We really do want to get into this building.”

The bricks differ in sizes from 4x8 to 12x12 and cost between $100 to $500. For more information or to donate, visit www.mooerslibrary.org/brick-project.

CLARIFICATION: Ellenburg town budget The Sun reported in the Nov. 12 edition that Ellenburg residents will see a tax increase.

The total tax rate of $13.44 was a result of adding the tax rate in each district. Districts include general, highway, three lighting districts, four fire districts and a water district.

Certain households will see different tax rates depending on where they reside within the town of Ellenburg.

Municipalities invest in new playground equipment Mooers, Champlain and Saranac in planning stages of upgrading playgrounds, parks

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

CHAMPLAIN — Playgrounds in Mooers, Champlain and Saranac are all receiving upgrades with the purchase of new equipment.

The improvements are a joint effort between towns and parent-teacher associations in order to improve recreational offerings across the region.

PERRY MILLS PARK In Champlain, officials purchased and installed a large addition with a slide, swing set, climbing station and more for the Perry Mills Park located on Dubois Road.

The black top for the basketball court was also recently repaved.

These upgrades cost over $20,000, which was funded through IOBY “in our backyards” and the Healthy Neighborhoods Fund Initiative.

The next steps, Supervisor Larry Barcomb said, include fixing up the baseball field, along with adding other fields and courts for sporting activities, such as soccer, pickleball and volleyball.

Town officials are currently gathering cost estimates for the future projects and seeking more donations.

“It’s all come together very rapidly,” Barcomb said. “We can’t wait to continue to improve it.”

MOOERS ELEMENTARY The Mooers Elementary PTP is in the final steps toward updating the playground at the school.

Right now, members of the organization are looking into purchasing one last piece of playground equipment to join the piece with several climbing stations and a one-person spinning play piece which were purchased earlier this summer.

The last phase of the revitalization includes refurbishing the current equipment.

So far, the Mooers Elementary PTP spent $12,000 through community donations and fundraising.

Organization members are in the process of gathering cost estimates and finding the last piece of equipment to finish up the renovations.

As a way to raise more funds, the PTP is selling NCCS Cougar bracelets for $20 and keychains for $10.

“We’re hoping more people will donate toward this cause,” said Courtney Trombly, president of the Mooers Elementary PTP. “This playground is not just for our kids, but our kid’s kids.”

PICKETTS CORNERS PARK Earlier this month, Saranac officials installed their first piece of playground equipment for the Picketts Corners Park located off of Bowen Road.

The piece of equipment looks like a small log cabin with climbing stairs, a ladder and a slide.

The goal, Supervisor Nick Carter said, is to install the second piece this spring.

The first structure cost $23,000, which was funded by a grant through the Clinton County Department of Health.

Town officials are looking into funding to cover the second piece.

In the meantime, other renovations are currently being planned out to improve the park, including adding a splash yard and a gazebo.

“We’re hoping to attract more people by making all of these changes,” Carter said. “We’re hoping to go as far as we can.”

Ellenburg voters approve future term limits Supervisor, clerk and highway superintendent positions to extend starting in 2018

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

ELLENBURG — Town voters have approved term limits for supervisor, highway superintendent and clerk.

Over 670 voters filled into the three polling places last week

to vote on extending three two-year terms to four-year terms.

Each position was passed by a little over 50 percent, which will go into effect January 2018 when the three terms will expire.

Supervisor Jason Dezan said he was surprised with how close the vote was.

“I was shocked the day of the election,” he said. “I thought it would pass very easily.”

Dezan said he didn’t know the exact reason as to why the vote was such a close call except for one reason:

Change.

“A lot of people don’t like change,” he said.

Dezan pitched the idea board for initial consideration earlier this year, in which he said no opposing views were stated.

Doing so, he said, would save money for both the town and the person running.

Before Dezan took the seat as supervisor, he served as the town clerk.

During that time, Dezan said he received no in-house training, which cost the town $2,500.

Dezan ran against former supervisor David Leonard during last year’s election, in which he spent close to $800 for campaigning.

Although Dezan won the race, he said the journey burnt a hole in his pocket.

Dezan was able to train Town Clerk Bethany Fortin, which cost the town $1,000.

The supervisor plans on re-running again this year with high hopes of not only winning, but also saving funds in both campaigning and training.

“I’m glad this passed,” he said. “Now, we’ll be able to save dollars and allocate it toward something else.”

Court Dissolution << Continued from | p. 1

Triller said more specifics on the changes, including potential additional costs to the town, will be determined in the discussions.

Town Court Clerk Janice Letourneau said village caseloads differ from week to week.

On average, the court gets 25 to 40 tickets per week and hold court nights every Wednesday and Thursday beginning at 5 p.m.

“It’s going to overwhelm us here,” Triller said. “But we’ll figure out a way to make things work.”

Town of Champlain Supervisor Larry Barcomb said he’s not concerned with the influx.

“We have no choice in the matter either way,” he said. “But I don’t believe it will be an issue.”

Barcomb said when the village of Champlain court dissolved in the early 2000s, the town had no issues merging the caseloads.

Quain declined to comment on the village court dissolution due to being uncomfortable with the situation.

LaBonte and Latremore could not be reached before this story went to print on Tuesday.

Elections have consequences

ery few of us saw this one coming. Watching the voting go down to the wire made for an exciting and historical election.

Glad I lasted until 2:30 am and still made it to work by 7:30 am last Wednesday.

So many points to comment on with regard to this election, but one thought occurred to me as I was drifting off to sleep.

That thought was about our two flawed, less than perfect candidates.

Like many of you I worried and prayed about this election with so many major issues at stake, but when it appeared clear that Mr. Trump would indeed be the next president, it came to me that so many times throughout history God has placed an imperfect person — that none of us would have selected — into a role to perform an unimaginable task.

Could this be one of those times?

After listening to Secretary Clinton’s concession speech; Mr. Obama’s speech welcoming the President-elect, and watching as Speaker Ryan and Congress fell in step, followed by the stock market’s sudden rise, one can’t help but be optimistic about our future.

Since President Bush-41 said, “Read my lips, no new taxes” in the 1988 campaign and then ended up compromising with the Democratically-controlled House to pass a bill that grid locked partisan politicians, we’ve seen our country grind to a halt. Neither party would give ground for fear of losing votes from an unappreciative constituency. No matter how important the legislation was to the country, retaining seats was always the highest priority.

President Obama gave us hope with his election speeches but failed to deliver. He and the Republicans never even tried to get on the same page for fear of crossing party faithful. This election demonstrated the error of those ways and why party compromise is the only way forward.

I believe this election holds a great deal of promise. Trump is a deal maker beholden to no one and his personality will drive him to be successful beyond what any president before him has ever done. Combine that with the fact that he was a Democrat for many years and as a non politician who ran with little support from the established Republicans, he is not susceptible to lobby pressure.

His focus appears clearly based on the American people who crossed party lines, overcame political correctness and risked ridicule to place him in office.

The course is now set, it’s up to all of us to support the new president and those charged with making this government work for the citizens of the country. Our united focus must now be one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.

Marching in the streets

A

nti-Trump protests have been roiling the streets since the underdog’s shock election last week.

The gatherings have erupted across over a dozen American cities, a coda to one of the most fractious political cycles in modern history.

Protesters have painted this as an existential crisis facing the nation.

Critics, newly empowered with a victory, have called them “rioters” and said they should be rounded up with the same vigor used to stamp out invasive species.

Both sides are misguided. Here’s why.

Diving into the post-election data is a crapshoot, and Hillary Clinton’s shock loss can be spun by any number of reasons — and will be, relentlessly.

At its most fundamental level, Clinton was an uninspiring candidate, and didn’t inspire the level of enthusiasm that propelled Obama to victory.

Seven million fewer voters turned out for Clinton than President Obama in 2012.

Meanwhile, Clinton had blinders on when it came to recognizing the raw anger of Rust Belt Americans felt after years of being left behind and fed platitudes by professional soothsayers.

Instead of listening to their concerns, Clinton instead focused on expanding the electoral map.

Where do Millennials fit in? The numbers are still murky. But early raw numbers indicate there were simply more 18-year-olds eligible to vote in 2016 than there were in 2012.

But numbers were anemic in the battleground states that delivered Trump his victory, a sign of depressed turnout.

While we never thought Trump would be headed to the Oval Office, we did forecast problems with Clinton generating this same type of excitement following the bruising Democratic primary with Sen. Bernie Sanders.

If voters turned out with the same intensity in which they’re marching in the streets, maybe she would have won.

That’s not to say that the protestors don’t have valid concerns.

Like them, we can’t help but feel certain elements of Trump’s election herald a return to a more retrograde time — particularly when it comes to progress made on social issues. And the reports of an increase racially-tinged incidents since last week, widely shared on social media, certainly hasn’t helped us warm to Trump.

But they’re simply stoking the fires of division with these meaningless protests.

While his start is shakey — Trump labeled the protesters as “professional protesters, incited by the media” just hours after winning the election, which certainly doesn’t seem very presidential — we’re optimistic about his prospects.

He’s a builder at heart, and has shown during the primary process that he has low regard for both major parties.

We really do think he’s going to do whatever it takes to make deals to get the nation’s problems solved, from jumpstarting the economy to straightening out our still-abysmal health care system.

But those condemning the dissenters and dismissing their viewpoints need to tamp down their rhetoric, as well.

No, they’re not rioting. They’re not un-American, and most, we assume, are very nice people.

But some advice for Trump — Give up the Twitter account.

LETTERS

TheÊ powerÊ of Ê words To the Editor: Journalists, more so than the rest of us, should understand the power of words and take that into consideration whenever they’re reporting the news.

That’s why, when I read your article on Plattsburgh’s mayor race (11/12/16), I was surprised by the description of Mayor Calnon’s election night party as, “a flock of tough-looking blue collar workers...”. I don’t live in Plattsburgh, and I don’t really care who won or who lost, but I do have a problem when factual reporting stoops to subtle (or not so subtle) biases like this. You should be better than that.

The same goes for your editorial “What a wild ride” in that same issue, where you described Trump as “sweeping to victory.” Yes, whether by luck or

A

strategic planning, he swept the Electoral College vote. But I’d like to remind folks that the popular vote, which was won by Clinton, tells a different story.

This cannot be called a sweeping victory for Trump; the reality is that most voters voted against him. This certainly is not a mandate from the people, as Trump and others would like to label it. Trump and his supporters must recognize this, not ignore it, in order to bring the country together and deal effectively with the challenges we face.

Again, we come back to the power of words. In this age of social media, the tweet is mightier than the sword. All of us, the media and the President-elect included, need to be more aware of how we use (or abuse) that power. Hopefully we’ll find the words to unite, not divide.

ThurmanÊ sagaÊ continues...

To the Editor: In response to a recent letter from Paula Hubert: I was amazed, reading your story concerning your time as deputy town clerk. The town clerk must have thought very highly of you and your abilities, to ask you to be her deputy.

Before I could or would comment on the events leading up to your removal from the position of deputy town clerk, I would first talk to every one involved. At which point I would be able to offer a comment! But as a resident of the Town of Thurman, before I started investigating I would say ‘this is none of my concern.’ I would only hope that the town supervisor and the town board would ensure that nothing was done improper. Did you make a complaint at the time?

Now since you have found it necessary to speak for me, you could have called me, or talked to me at a board meeting. You did not.

The reason I have written these letters started because the Town Supervisor Ms. Wood refused to let me speak. I guess you missed that! I started to see that some could speak, others could not. This should bother everyone, not just me!

You say the reason I have written these letters seems to be in revenge.

Again you are wrong. A few letters does not represent revenge. I have not written about any town highway position, perhaps in a future letter.

Now a few thoughts about my letters: you wouldn’t believe how many people tell me “nice letter” or “great job” or “boy, you really tell it like it is” and “keep up the good work!

Now if my letters have upset the folks on the other side of the aisle, I say too bad. Why are you so worried about another one of my letters. They need a thicker skin.

TheÊ electionÊ isÊ overÊ Ñ Ê timeÊ forÊ theÊ hateÊ toÊ subside To the Editor: Now that we have a new president perhaps the climate of hate will subside.

My candidate didn’t win, but America has decided. As an American, I will honor our new president.

I do have fears for what will happen to things like Social Security and health care for those who can’t afford it.

As a fairly wealthy person, I know my wife and I will have no problem making it through what the Republicans in Congress are planning to do. It is my hope President Trump follows through with his promise to change how Washington works and I am willing to help in any way if he asks.

The next four years will be challenging as America will be at the brink of nuclear war and its sons and daughters may have to go into battle once more if there is anyone left after the bombs fall.

My prayers are for President Trump to back off some of his talk of “bombing the hell out of them,” whoever “them” turns out to be.

Speaker Ryan has said on numerous occasions that he wants to privatize Social Security and do away with Medicare and he now has the votes to do it and a President to sign and make it law.

I will be writing to President Trump asking him to ask for God’s guidance and veto any legislation that would do this. He will be our President and we owe him the respect due. God Bless America.

HealingÊ necessaryÊ followingÊ brutalÊ election To the Editor: This presidential election season was brutal.

We all feel disenchantment with the state of the country. We all dream for reliable answers to chronic and generational problems that have no easy answers – despite what politicians on both sides promised us.

Unfortunately, we were forced to pick sides, which does nothing except accentuate differences. Party politics forced us to become like schoolyard gangs – hurling names at each other, plotting to win. Instead we should have been working together to help a country that, despite its rhetoric, has clearly not met the needs of millions of its citizens.

In a land called “opportunity” this is unacceptable.

There now needs to be healing, reconciliation. Keeping sides won’t work.

Turning to government won’t work. The only thing that can heal is reaching out with compassion to folks who disagree with us and get to work.

Maybe the reconciliation could start with our neighbors in our rural hamlets, small cities and towns, and city neighborhoods. Neighbors help neighbors, regardless of their political leanings. If they experience a fire, a flood, a job loss, or the death of a loved one, we do not ask how they feel about immigration, climate change or even abortion. And we will not ask them how they voted in this election. We will simply help.

Let us all hold out a healing hand.

ObamaÊ shouldÊ useÊ NationalÊ GuardÊ toÊ quellÊ protests To the Editor: To President Obama, I ask: Why have you not called out the National Guard to put down these riots?

These anti-Trump riots are not demonstrators. They are rioters who are destroying public and private property. Yet you sit on your butt with your head in the sand and do nothing.

Peaceful demonstrations are, of course, allowed in our country. But these rioters, destroyers of property, assaulters of men and women, and attacks on our police are being ignored by you.

I insist you take immediate action to end these riots. Arrest the leaders and those performing robberies, busting into stores, damaging property, assaulting people, etc.

Bring law and order back to our cities. If necessary, order the National Guard to help put an end to these riots.

TrumpÊ electionÊ aÊ throwbackÊ toÊ 50s To the Editor: This election was ultimately about returning America to the 1950s, when men were “men” and women and minorities knew their place.

On Jan. 20 an appallingly ill-informed and gullible segment of the electorate will have installed a mean-spirited, demagogic miscreant in the presidency.

Prediction: if Trump is not impeached due to flagrant executive improprieties during his term in office, in four years a massive bipartisan “Dump Trump” movement will ensue.

A dark day dawns over the country as our national nightmare commences... and the ultimate Trump reality show begins.

A millennial’s perspective Generational gap widening Elizabeth Izzo

Sun Community News reporter

W

hen I was six, my parents pulled my brother and I out of school on a September morning.

I jumped on the pull-out couch where my family sat, happy that my day had been cut short.

As I jumped higher and higher, images of the Twin Towers burning flashed across the television.

My mother watched in horror as newscasters recounted the day’s events.

We were safe, but our country would never be the same.

Much like many people in my generation, I was raised by two Democrats in post-9/11 America.

When things seemed dark — as it often did in the years following the national nightmare — my mother would tell me that though we may disagree with our president, it’s important that we always respect and support him.

Ours was a patriotic household, even during the tenure of a president from the opposing party.

Since then, I have always upheld my mother’s advice: I have respected each president as the elected leader of our nation.

But on Nov. 9, my lifelong respect died a swift death.

I am now faced with a president-elect who I cannot respect as a man, much less ideologically support as the face of my country.

This isn’t unique in my generation: Politico reported that Donald Trump had a 74 percent unfavorability rating among millennials.

This, coupled with the numerous protests around the country, seems to imply that my generation largely agrees with me.

Frankly, most of us would’ve chosen Bernie Sanders. But the fact that Trump was elected despite a majority of millennials voting blue is perhaps indicative of an ever-widening generational gap, the likes of which were seen with Brexit earlier this year, where a staggering 75 percent of Great Britain’s youth voted Remain, and 61 percent of Baby Boomers voted Leave.

Much of my generation has been engaged in politics for the first time this election cycle.

We’ve spent months listening to the hateful rhetoric that Trump has popularized, and now that he has been elected — we’re terrified.

We’re inheriting this country — and along with it, the aftermath of mistakes that were made before our time.

This was the first election where we could finally speak up for ourselves and choose our destinies.

With this in mind, you can understand why we’re upset.

As young people, we are prone to disproportionately weighing social issues — including same sex marriage, attitudes towards refugees and gender and religious equality issues, especially towards our Muslim friends — >> See IZZO | pg. 9

EyE ON THE ARTS

Close down but not forever “We’re always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who’ve closed down.

And there are times in one’s life when one has to close down just to regroup.” Leonard Cohen, who passed away this month, said that.

Following the tumultuous election cycle, and the subsequent result — which has a good number upset — it’s important to regroup and not simply fall into darkness. Close down, but not forever. There is work to be done on both sides.

Music, art, literature and entertainment can always help with any sort of healing process.

There’s a unifying factor there — a reminder that emotions are what tear us apart, but they also have the ability to bring us together.

As always, there are many events happening around the region this week. Each is an opportunity to reconnect and enjoy: A unique event for foodies will be hosted at the UpRiver Cafe in Lake Luzerne on Nov. 19.

Along with a variety of dishes to taste, the cafe will display food-themed art by local artists from 4-7 p.m. Admission will cost $25 in advance, $30 at the door. For more information, call 668-2616 or visit lakegeorgearts.org.

The Whallonsburg Grange will host a variety of events this week, beginning with a glutenfree cooking class on Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. The class, taught by Christine Charbonneau, will focus on cooking fully gluten-free meals. Tickets are $15, and include ingredients, instruction and a completed meal.

On Nov. 18, 9 Horses will perform at the Grange. 9 Horses boasts a folksy, jazz sound. Concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12.

“Captain Fantastic” will be screened at the Grange on Nov. 19. “Captain Fantastic,” starring Viggo Mortensen, follows a family as they venture out from their woodland home into the modern world. For more information on these events, call Kate Ritter at 963-4170.

From page 7 above more monotonous issues like the country’s financial standing and GDP. My generation holds each of these social advancements as examples of how far our country has come in the fight for equality, acceptance and celebration of diversity.

With Trump — who is a demagogue — we fear that the progress we have seen will be rescinded.

Trump also appears to have activated a segment of the population who are proud to wear their prejudices on their sleeve.

From Sunrise to Sundown

The argument could be made that people my age didn’t try hard enough — that despite our willingness to knock on doors for Sanders, we brought only half-hearted support to Clinton.

The argument could also be made that we are too young to understand the deep-seated frustration of the older generations. This is also a fair point, though I would argue that the idealism of youth is not always something born from ignorance.

With the completion of the new World Trade Center last year, a lot of us had hopes that the United States would be moving forward.

To take a step back at this point is terrifying — and unacceptable.

GreatestÊ seasonÊ everÊ forÊ NCCSÊ endsÊ inÊ regionals

GLOVERSVILLE — Northeastern Clinton varsity volleyball head coach Brent Banker said it may take a day, but his girls will hold their heads high after finishing the greatest season in Lady Cougars history.

Hoping to ride the momentum to the Civic Center, the Cougars (15-5) fell short Nov. 12 against Section II champion Galway, dropping games of 25-10, 25-20 and 25-23.

“We played a really good team today, there is no doubt about that,” coach Brent Banker said. “This is a different experience for us. This team lost in the sectional finals last year and I had my eight seniors who returned this season and they had a really good year.”

Galway opened with a strong first game, which Banker said was also a bit of his team getting lost in the moment.

“The first game was the shock experience and then they settled down and started to play and that’s why I have to give all the credit to Galway, they played a really good game,” Banker said.

After a 14-14 tie in game two, Galway pulled away for a five-point win in the second.

The Cougars came out firing in the third. Gaining leads of 14-6 and 16-8

before Galway ran off a 17-7 rally to end the match with a 25-23 final.

While Banker said the team was upset with the result, the players do realize all they have accomplished.

“When they get over tonight, they are going to realize they are the best team we have had at our school,” he said. “No one at NCCS has ever had a 15-win season in volleyball, they should be and I know they are proud about that.”

Banker added he hopes the momentum will continue thanks to a good JV program that he will look to as they replace eight players from the 2016 roster next season.

“You always hope for that and our JV team was very good this year,” Banker said. “It’s our hope this will carry over to them.

Nicole Khater had five kills to lead the Cougars, while Jacqueline Rasco and Valerie Simmons each had four.

Harliegh Green added three aces to the offense, while Nathalie Boulerice had nine assists.

On defense, Rasco had the lone block in the game while recording 15 digs.

Khater led the Cougars with 23 digs, while Green added 19, Boulerice 17, Simmons 13 and Julia Letourneau 11.

ChazyÊ EaglesÊ returnÊ toÊ stateÊ FinalÊ Four,Ê oustedÊ byÊ rivalÊ FortÊ Ann keith@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLETOWN — It was not the return the Chazy boy’s varsity soccer program had hoped for.

Back in the NYSPHSAA Class D Final Four after a year away, the 2015 co-champions found themselves where they wanted to be early one.

However, a second half penalty kick and goal in the 79th minute propelled the defending state champion Fort Ann past the Eagles in a meeting of the then top two teams in the state.

The Eagles (19-1-1) started out controlling the tempo of the game, and found the back of the net in the 16th minute when Kade Collins again went to work with his head.

Collins, who made the game winning header against Madrid-Waddington one weekend ago, found himself in a similar position as Tristan Conners corner kick went into the penalty area.

This time, the ball first found the feet of Bryan McAfee, who connected with Collins, how again scored on a header to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

The Eagles would continue to control the game through the first 40 minutes, outshooting Fort Ann 13-0 in the half.

“I think we clearly controlled play in the first half and I was very pleased with how we possessed the ball,” head coach Rob McAuliffe said. “It’s always a positive result to be up 1-0 at halftime, but it was concerning because we had so many chances and had not capitalized.”

The Cardinals were able to equalize in the 53rd minute of play, as the Eagles were called for a hand ball inside the penalty area, setting up Jeremy Johnson on a successful conversion from the stripe.

“I think the second half became more even, but I still thought we had the better play and still created chances,” McAuliffe said. “Fort Ann did start playing a little more even after the kick, but I still thought at 1-1 we would

generate the chances we needed, which we did, but we were unable to finish.”

The game remained level pegging until the penultimate minute, when the Cardinals were awarded a corner kick.

Johnson took the kick, which came in to the far post area of the goal. Waiting there was Tyler Mattison, the hero of the 2016 state title game, who was able to head the ball into the net and give the Cardinals a near-golden goal.

Jon Allen made 12 saves for the Cardinals, including a sliding stop on an attack by Josh McCauley in the second half. Ben Norcross made one save in the loss, as Fort Ann only had three shots on net, including the penalty kick.

For the Eagles, McAuliffe said the team was able to face the pressure of earning their way back to Middletown.

“It was a positive year,” he said. “We have not been in this position very often where we are not even a defending sectional finalist, so I think there was a lot of pressure and I think

the boys did very well with it. I am proud of what they accomplished and I am proud to be there coach.”

McAuliffe said the team was able to use multiple scoring threats to make their move through the tournament.

“It was great to see that, from the sectional semifinals on, we had a different big-time scorer — Gage Ducatte in the semifinals, Hayden King and Josh McCauley against NAC , then Kade in the regionals. We had many guys contribute this season and I think that helped our team,” he said.

For the Cardinals, any hopes of a title defense were dashed the next day, when AlfredAlmond scored a 2-1 victory in the Class D championship game.

For McAuliffe, the goal will remain the same for 2017.

“We feel good about our chances,” McAuliffe said. “Our goal is always to win the state championship. We have only two senior starters so next year, our goals won’t change.”

In Essex County: Local residents react to historic election President-elect Donald Trump generates strong emotions from divided county

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Defying all expectations, Donald J. Trump won the presidency last week, and will become the 45th president of the United States.

The upset victory over Hillary Clinton sent shockwaves across the country — including Essex County, where residents have been absorbing the results over the past week.

Interviews with over a dozen local residents suggested a degree of fear mixed with cautious optimism.

Monique Clague, 79, is one of the four in 10 Americans who described their reaction to the election as “afraid,” according to Gallup.

“I fear for the future,” said Clague.

The retired college professor from Keene cited “the whole package” when it came to her misgivings with Trump: The tough-talking businessman’s personality is erratic, she said, and she is concerned that the president-elect will follow through on his campaign promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act, deport illegal immigrants and roll back international agreements, including the Paris Agreement, the landmark climate change treaty that went into effect earlier this month.

The world depends on the U.S. for its leadership, said Clague.

“If America gets out of those international agreements, then the rest of the world can go the same way.”

Jim Haig, of Jay, said he was “appalled” by Trump’s victory.

Haig, a lifelong independent, said he was “beyond concerned” about Trump’s ascension to the leader of the free world.

“I was not surprised at the result, but I was shocked because I felt all along that Trump was a totally undesirable candidate, and my trust was in the American electorate that sensibility and reason would prevail,” he said.

Haig, 68, said both parties did a “lousy job” of outlining approaches that would benefit working class Americans, he said, including those in the North Country, whose residents he said would be negatively impacted by ACA and environmental protection rollbacks.

As left-leaning protesters continued to roil the country, Haig expressed skepticism over Trump’s ability to preside over a divided country.

Clinton won the popular vote, with a vote margin projected to eventually reach 2 million, or 1.5 percentage points, according to the New York Times.

“Given what we’ve seen about his temperament, I think he’s set the stage for ongoing polarization,” Haig said.

Don Austin, who described himself as a lifelong Democrat, echoed those sentiments, and said values played an important role in his skepticism toward Trump, a political novice who has never held elected office.

“We don’t get to determine a lot about life, our own or that of others,” said Austin, 72, a professor and engineer. “We can work for the good, though, and the good is seen through the filters of what we value. It appears that Trump is very narcissistic, meaning he values mostly himself. I don’t know that he values anything that directly relates to the North Country, per se.”

Austin voted for Clinton, and said she was treated unfairly during the campaign.

“I wish that people didn’t look at Hillary Clinton the way they do, so negatively,” Austin said.

“She’s been pretty much smeared, and people were gullible and accepted it.”

Eighty percent of Trump supporters said they were “excited” by the election results, according to Gallup.

Austin is too. While he has concerns about his temperament, cutthroat business tactics and possible cabinet picks, Trump’s election also carries a small degree of excitement, he said, because his lack of detailed policy positions mean anything can happen.

“I feel sick and I feel excited,” Austin said. “It’s sick of what Trump seems to be. But excited.

At least it’s something different.” >> See Donald Trump | pg. 17

Donald J. Trump will be the 45th president of the United States. Trump narrowly carried Essex County by 3.3 points, where residents are still adjusting to the results.

Hep C Testing << Continued from | p. 1

for rapid-fire inoculations.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, one in 10 veterans are infected.

But Kaifetz believes the number can be far higher.

The local clinics have yielded in positive diagnoses, said Kaifetz in an interview earlier this month. But he declined to discuss the exact rate, citing privacy concerns.

MALONE CLINIC SET Albany Stratton VA Medical Center Public Affairs Officer Peter Potter said due to the post’s current success rate, discussions are being had on teaming up to host one in the area.

“We’ve been at the forefront of this hep C testing movement,” Potter said.

“Now, we’re trying to see how we can work together to better serve the community.”

A free clinic for Malone is in the works, with a tentative date set for between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Post 1619 aims to test at least 100 veterans before rolling out the clinic in more population-rich areas across the state.

For the past three years, the medical center has been offering free testing to income-eligible veterans.

An average of 200 vets gets tested and enrolled in the hospital’s treatment program each year, said Potter.

Potter said he would like to eventually see more, which is where Post 1619 comes in.

Kaifetz said he’s having a similar conversation with the Brooklyn VA Hospital to replicate their efforts downstate. The plan, said Kaifetz, is to give the entities a checklist on how to run the clinic, along with tips for promoting the event.

Kaifetz said either one or two members of the post will join him to help the entity host the event.

Throughout all these trips, Kaifetz said his hopes are to bring the team of lab technicians from CVPH, who were part of the first clinic, on the road with him and the post members.

The post is also exploring the option of hosting clinics in Syracuse and somewhere in Essex County.

U.S. Navy Admiral briefs Willsboro crowd on military efforts Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces oversees operations in global waters

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WILLSBORO — Attendees of the town’s long-running Veterans Day Dinner received an intimate glimpse at American military operations abroad on Friday when they received a briefing from a top-ranking military official.

U.S. Navy Admiral Philip S. Davidson is the commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command. The Norfolk-based unit trains and equips 125 ships and 100 aircraft across the globe, commanding 103,000 active duty service members and civilians.

Davidson is an old pal of Shaun Gillilland, a retired U.S. Navy captain who now serves as Willsboro’s supervisor.

In his comments, Davidson sketched out military actions across the globe, and tied them directly to the U.S. Fleet Forces and the work they do.

“Your navy is absolutely your away team, and we don’t want to play any home games,” Davidson said.

Many of the 70,000 sailors and Marines on active duty deployment are engaged in daily combat — including local veterans like Captain David Little, son of state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury), who recently returned from an eight-month stint commanding the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman.

“They dropped more bombs on ISIS, Iraq and Syria than any other carrier strike that went before them,” Davidson said.

Davidson, speaking to a roomful of veterans and their families, detailed the efforts of two units, the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group and the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Destroyer, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

For months, missions leaving from the USS Wasp have been conducting flying air raids against ISIS in Libya, or, as the U.S. military calls them, Daesh.

“It means the perverted ones,” Davidson said, referring to the Arabic language acronym.

The Islamic State, a non-state actor, joins the four countries the U.S. has labeled as principal threats: Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

The U.S. Fleet Forces Command routinely deploys because of three of those, including Russia’s “bad activity” in the Baltics, Atlantic and Mediterranean and Iran’s meddling in the Persian Gulf (and covert operations across the entire Middle East).

Bombers lift off from the Eisenhower daily to drop bombs on ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

The number of bombs ranges from “a handful” to 40-50 per day.

“We’ve dropped more on ISIS and ISIL fighters than we actually bought for the U.S. Navy last year — that’s the extent of what we’re doing,” Davidson said.

From its perch on the Strait of Hormuz, the Eisenhower plays a central role in keeping the waterway clear for commercial oil traffic.

That lane is required to be open, Davidson said, but Iran has recently been proven to be meddlesome by shooting rockets near ships, which threatens traffic.

Just weeks ago, the USS Mason exchanged fire with Iranian forces while on patrol in the Red Sea, Davidson said.

After being shot at by a cruise missile, U.S. forces sent over a Tomahawk to take out radar sites.

From the USS Wasp, Marine carriers have been dropping bombs over Libya over the past several months, and employing drones.

“The effort there is to help the legitimate Libyan government retain the power after the Libyan War about five years ago,” Davidson said.

ISIS is in the crosshairs.

“We’re knocking the snot out of them as a result,” Davidson said.

The USS Carney has been facilitating special forces operations into the same neighborhood since early-July in an effort to beat back Russian interference in the region, including the ships sailing up and down the Bosphorus Strait, which has been rattling NATO allies.

Davidson said it’s important for the American public to understand these efforts, and they are conducted by real people.

“I ask that you think about them occasionally,” he said.

The annual dinner, now in its 12th year, saw a team of volunteers serve meals to 121 veterans in Willsboro and Essex, including 13 home deliveries.

U.S. Navy Admiral Philip S. Davidson delivers comments at Willsboro Central on Nov. 11, 2016. Davidson, commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command, briefed attendees at the town’s annual veterans day dinner on U.S. military efforts.

Donald Trump << Continued from | p. 12

‘I’M ECSTATIC’ In Essex County, where registered Republicans outweigh Democrats by a healthy margin, Trump’s victory also brought jubilation.

Don Sage awoke in the middle of the night, hopped online and was overjoyed at the results.

“I’m ecstatic,” said Sage. “It’s the most wonderful thing to happen to this country in years.”

Sage, 74, said he hoped Trump will clean up Washington, D.C. after eight years of Democratic leadership he said was marred by corruption, backstabbing and cozy attitudes toward Wall Street.

Doing so will help return the reins of power to the American people, he said.

“Hopefully, with Mr. Trump, we’re going to have a nice clean house,” said Sage, a Schroon town councilman. “I expect he’ll have different people in his cabinet with different ways of doing things.”

Sage, a Republican, said issues like gun rights were important to him, as was the return of manufacturing jobs from China and the repeal of the ACA. After years in the political wilderness, is it important for Republicans to work with Democrats to craft legislation?

“It’s always nice, but we don’t need them right now,” said Sage, citing pending GOP control of the White House, Senate and House. “It’s probably not necessary right now.”

While Trump lost the Empire State by 21 points, the lopsided victory reflected the upstate-downstate divide.

Trump bested Clinton by 3.3 percentage points in Essex County, which has trended purple in recent years, and won all but 16 of the state’s 62 counties.

Across the North Country, the real estate developer won sweeping margins as high as 39 points, where he ram-jammed Clinton in Lewis County. The average spread was 19.4 points, with higher margins in the Watertown area, and slimmer gaps toward Glens Falls and Saratoga.

Gun culture runs deep across upstate, where many remain bitterly opposed to the SAFE Act, the controversial state gun control legislation passed after the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012.

“I believe he’ll hold up his right hand and obey the Constitution, which I don’t believe Hillary was going to do,” said Richard Johndrow, a retired International Paper worker and avid outdoorsman, who voted for Trump, in part, over gun rights.

Johndrow, 84, said he was not concerned about questions over Trump’s volatile personality.

“I’m not concerned about him having a tantrum,” he said.

“I don’t think he’s going to do that.”

Rob McDougal expressed confidence that Trump will get out of the way of commerce, and clear away some of the regulations that have stymied economic growth, he said, particularly for small businesses.

“It just crushed a lot of economic opportunity for those not living in the city,” said McDougal, who described himself as a public school teacher in his 50s.

McDougal hoped a new tax plan would encourage U.S. companies to repatriate back to U.S. soil, which would put American workers back to work.

The Plattsburgh resident also supported Trump because he felt the candidate would protect Constitutional rights, which he said were eroding under President Obama, and would have continued under a Clinton Administration.

Appointing conservative judges is important, he said, noting the Constitution is not intended to be a living document.

McDougal said the ongoing protests reflect a double-standard. And like others interviewed for this story, McDougal said he was disappointed in the national media, which he said was biased in favor of Clinton, and did not accurately convey the support enjoyed by Trump, nor capture their voices, in their coverage.

“We weren’t given a voice anywhere for us,” McDougal said.

To the reporter writing this article: “Just be fair,” he said.

Sarah Paquette named new principal of Beekmantown Elementary BEEKMANTOWN — Earlier this month, Beekmantown Central School District appointed Sarah Paquette as the new Beekmantown Elementary School principal.

Paquette has 13 years of teaching experience from three grade levels and an administrative background.

Here is Jynx, an adoptable cat from Elmore SPCA...Jynx is a 2-year-old black domestic short hair black kitty.

Jynx is a wonderful cat who was “rescued” by a concerned citizen who was evicted from their home who then re-homed her to a new family. This new family was quickly overwhelmed and surrendered Jynx and her litter to Elmore SPCA to receive vetting and to find new homes. Jynx and her kittens had some intestinal parasites when they first arrived and tested positive for coccidia. After several treatments we were able to make

She has acclimated well to living in the cat colony and will do well in most homes. Jynx is such a sweet, loving and lazy cat now! She is a champion napper and makes sure to practice every day to hone her skills.

Jynx loves to get her tummy rubbed and to be pet. Please consider giving this gorgeous and happy black cat a new beginning!
