REDC endorses plan for maximum Boreas access Alternative 1 will act as a much-needed gateway for four-season economy

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The North Country Regional Economic Development Council has endorsed the proposed plan for Boreas Ponds that would allow for the maximum amount of recreation on the newly acquired parcel.

The collection of business leaders, academics and nonprofits rolled out the endorsement on Dec. 28, two days before the state’s public

comment deadline.

The NCREDC cited the importance of tourism to the local economy as a leading reason to support the Adirondack Park Agency’s Alternative 1, and said the parcel played a critical plank in their agenda for tourism growth in the 11-county region.

“For long-term stewardship of our unique landscape that blends caring for the environment and commerce for our communities, we need to attract both recreation and wildlife enthusiasts alike,” wrote NCREDC CoChairs Tony Collins and Garry Douglas in a letter to the agency.

The group said the mix of Wilderness and Wild Forest will allow for the creation of a four-season economy, and cited the opportunity for snowmobiling and cycling oppor-

CHESTERTOWN — Town of Chester citizens who helped upgrade the popular local ski venue known as Dynamite Hill Recreation area were commended Dec. 31 as a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the improvements.

The upgrades include a new ski tow with handles, LED lighting fixtures to enhance night skiing, higher-capacity electrical service to boost snowmaking capabilities, and a new ski-lift base station.

Several dozen area citizens turned out for the ceremony which featured an appearance by Brant Lake teenager Abe Studler, a nationally-ranked moguls skier who is a member of the U.S. Ski Team.

Located on Route 8 just outside of the Chestertown hamlet, the hill features a drop of about 65 feet. The popular recreation area accommodates sledders and snowboarders as well as skiers — and it features a skating rink and a lodge as well as the skiing hill.

The upgrades were accomplished in a joint effort involving the town government, the Chestertown Rotary Club and >> See DYNAMITE | pg. 3

tunities.

Collins, who serves as president of Clarkson University, also took a shot at a study released by a professor last year at his institution that determined property values increase in proximity to Wilderness.

“It is widely understood in the economic development industry that average home values — particularly when values are disproportionately influenced by the sale of seasonal vacation homes — have limited influence in demonstrating a community’s overall economic health and its potential for growth,” said Collins, who also serves as Clarkson’s president, in the joint letter.

True drivers of the economy will rather be revenues generated by sales and occupancy tax growth alongside year-round employ-

ment opportunities, he said.

BeWildNY, a coalition of environmental groups which has endorsed the study, has used the survey as a chief plank in their economic argument for the area surrounding the tract, arguing under their proposal, the region will flourish into a thriving economic zone similar to Keene.

Formed in 2011, the state’s regional economic development council program is designed to give the state’s 10 regions a localized approach to shape economic policy by singling out development projects and targeting areas for growth through long-term strategic planning.

Snowmobile trail goes to bench trial in March

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

INLET — A injunction that stopped tree cutting along the Class II Community Connector snowmobile trail between Raquette Lake and Indian Lake remains in force as courts await decisions on appeal.

Plans to build the 12.8-mile Seventh Mountain Trail in Moose River Plains Wild Forest were launched by the state Department of Environmental Conservation in 2013.

Protect the Adirondacks, a Lake George-based environmental group, sued soon after, alleging that construction of the Class II style of snowmobile trail violates the Forever Wild clause in New York’s constitution.

The case is set to go to bench trial in Albany State Supreme Court in March.

Originally planned as a “connector,” the trail was aligned and designed to join existing Moose River Plains Wild Forest trails, which form “the center of a trail system that connects to Newcomb in Essex County and Old Forge in Herkimer County,” according to DEC’s plan.

To focus snowmobile use on connector trails at the edges of preserve lands, DEC closed 46 miles of snowmobile trails in more remote areas and reclassified 15,000 acres of Moose River Plains Wild Forest as Wilderness.

DEC also closed two miles of roads on the state property.

Despite permitting and Adirondack Park Agency approvals, the project drew legal fire soon after it began.

A final ruling on Protect’s legal stance could set precedent for construction methods and terms of tree cutting on New York’s Wild Forest land.

“There are two case items on a parallel track,” Bauer said in

a recent interview with the Sun. “In the main case (filed in 2013), we filed paperwork in November corresponding to the state’s request for summary judgment. The state (via the attorney general’s office) is asking the judge to dismiss the case or to limit the arguments brought to a bench trial.”

Protect contends, as it has since the early incarnation of Adirondack Park snowmobile plans 11 years ago, that 8-foot to 12-foot wide sled trails are not consistent with constitutional forest preserve protection.

“There are two main issues, one is that the construction of these Class II connector trails violates the state constitution because of the number of trees cut,” Bauer said.

“We’ve calculated that they are cutting a thousand trees per mile, counting all trees from 1-inch to 40-inches in diameter,” Bauer said.

“The other argument we’re making is that it is not just the impact on the state constitution’s Forever Wild clause. We think that the (tree) cuts made violate use of Wild Forest,” Bauer said.

DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said last summer that the department worked carefully to plan the trail with minimal impact on state lands.

“And at the same time, (DEC) is eliminating other trails that are redundant, unsafe and intrude into more remote areas of the Forest Preserve,” Seggos said when Albany Supreme Court Judge Gerald Connolly lifted an Appellate Court ban on tree cutting last summer.

The trail was about half cut when Appellate justices halted the process again.

Class II Connector trails are different from foot trails in the forest preserve because they are much wider and cleared of rocks.

“They are graded with heavy equipment,” Bauer said, likening the trail work to road construction.

“They (DEC) are also building very large bridges that can hold vehicles that weigh several tons, which are the trail groomers.”

Among other concerns, Bauer said, is science that shows 9-foot to 12-foot-wide trails create a route for invasive species.

“And we’ve documented two instance where invasive species have already infested newly constructed Class II Community Connector trails, Japanese knotweed and common ragweed.”

The Class II connector trail system is designed to provide more snowmobile access between towns in the central Adirondacks.

In fact, in July 2015, DEC also approved a Community Connector Class II trail between Newcomb, Minerva and North Hudson, which utilizes the edge of the as-yetunclassified Boreas Ponds tract.

In their plan, DEC explained that: “These trails are located in the periphery of Wild Forest or other Forest Preserve areas. They are always located as close as possible to motorized travel corridors, given safety, terrain and environmental constraints, and only rarely are any segments of them located further than one mile away from the nearest of these corridors.

“They are not duplicated or paralleled by other snowmobile trails. Some can be short, linking communities to 94848

which featured an appearance by Brant Lake teenager Abe Studler, a nationally-ranked moguls skier who is a member of the U.S. Ski Team.

Located on Route 8 just outside of the Chestertown hamlet, the hill features a drop of about 65 feet. The popular recreation area accommodates sledders and snowboarders as well as skiers — and it features a skating rink and a lodge as well as the skiing hill.

The upgrades were accomplished in a joint effort involv ing the town government, the Chestertown Rotary Club and individual citizens.

Bankrolling the improvements were the state’s First Wilderness Heritage Corridor development program and Warren County occupancy tax receipts, as well as donations from the Chestertown Rotary Club. Local excavator Bernie Bolton donated his labor and the use of his equipment to re-grade the hill in the project.

During the Dec. 31 ceremony, Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett handed out certificates of appreciation to the town employees and members of the community who helped make all the improvements a reality.

Leggett gave special recognition to John Nick of Chestertown Rotary, who managed the club’s extensive involvement in the ski slope’s improvements, as well as Wayne LaMothe of Warren County Planning office for his work obtaining the state grant.

He also recognized the employees of the town highway department, the town parks and recreation personnel, plus Bernie Bolton of Bolton Excavating in Horicon for re-grading the ski hill, as well as officials of the North Warren Trailblazers Snowmobile Club for their ongoing work grooming the snow on the slope.

Leggett also praised town board member Michael Packer, an electrician by trade, for his work in upgrading the electrical service and energizing the new lighting. Also recognized was former Chester supervisor Fred Monroe for launching many of the improvements. Leggett also credited the town board for supporting

the effort.

Reflecting on how he skied on Dynamite Hill when he was as young as six years old, Leggett noted that the venue is quite popular with local residents and visitors.

“It’s amazing how many people come and enjoy Dynamite Hill, which makes outdoor recreation accessible to all,” he said, noting that people hailing from all over the northeastern U.S. enjoy the venue. “There’s no cost for residents and visitors to show up, play for a while, get exercise, and have lots of fun.”

Both Abe and his father Don talked about how Abe had first skied at Dynamite Hill when he was only 18 months old — and his love of the experience took him all the way to the U.S. Ski Team.

Abe told the children in the crowd that although they may be residents of the little rural towns of Brant Lake or Chester, they can set their sights high and achieve their dreams — as he has. Don thanked the community for their support, including contributions toward’s Abe’s expenses as he travels across the nation and overseas to compete in skiing.

Abe’s latest accomplishment was placing third overall about two weeks ago in moguls skiing in the U.S. Selections competition, which qualified him to compete in the World Cup championship races set for Friday Jan. 13 Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid.

The senior Studler invites all local residents and Abe’s fans all over northern New York to attend the January 13 World Cup Races.

Following the ribbon-cutting, Leggett said that he enjoyed watching the children enjoying sledding and skiing as the ceremony was occurring.

“Dynamite Hill is an invaluable asset — it’s truly a gem — it provides so much fun for so many people,” he said.

ecember 2016 was a near normal winter month with only slightly below normal temperatures, precipitation and snowfall. Unlike last year, when record warm temperatures were measured, this year felt more like winters of old. It allowed ski areas to make snow, lakes to freeze and snowmobile trails to open.

The average high temperature was 33.2 degrees and the average low was 17.5 giving us an average temperature of 25.4 degrees, 0.9 degrees below normal. The highest temperature, 44 degrees, was recorded on the 1st, 2nd, and 26th and the lowest temperature, –10 degrees, was recorded on Dec. 16. There two days with below zero readings compared to an average of three. There were 1228.5 degree days bringing our seasonal total to 2737.5. Melted precipitation for the month was 3.25 inches, only 0.15 inches below normal.

Precipitation was measured on 19 days with the greatest amount, 0.93 inches, mostly rain, falling on the 18th. Our total for the year is 38.03 inches, 4.54 inches below normal and the 8th driest on record. The driest year was in 1988 when only 31.76 inches was measured and the wettest year was in 2011 when 55 .31 inches fell.

Snowfall for the month was 15.6 inches, only 0.7 inches below normal. This brings our seasonal total to 21.9 inches, only 0.3 inches below normal. Unlike last year when we had no snow on the ground for Christmas, this year we had 4 inches, which gave us a “White Christmas.” At the end of the month we had seven inches on the ground.

A

friend of mine sent me an interesting speculative piece on upcoming technology changes that could alter how we conduct our lives. Much of it revolves around advanced computers and the affects it could have on the fields of health, government, automation, education, manufacturing, agriculture and jobs in all types of traditional careers. I thought for the first column of 2017 a peek into the future might be fun.

The article raises two interesting questions; Are we about to enter the 4th Industrial Revolution?

Will Artificial Intelligence cause massive turmoil to most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years? Here are a few budding examples; Uber is just a software tool, they don’t own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world.

Airbnb is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don’t own any properties.

Artificial Intelligence: Computers are becoming exponentially better in understanding the world.

With the IBM Watson, you can get legal advice within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by human attorneys. Watson, it claims, is helping nurses diagnose cancer, 4 times more accurately than humans.

Autonomous cars: The theory is in the near future you won’t want to own a car.

You will call an automated car with your smart phone.

It will show up at your location and drive you to your destination. But if you no longer own a car how might this affect auto dealers or the auto insurance business?

Solar production has been on an extended curve for 30 years, but like digital cameras that were created in 1975 it took 30 years and the cell phone to see their popularity change public opinion. With cheap electricity should come things like cheap and abundant water. Desalination of salt water and water purification needs very little electricity to produce clean water. We don’t have scarce water in most places, we only have scarce clean drinking water.

Imagine what changes will be possible if anyone can have as much clean water as they wants?

Health: Soon we will have a medical device called the “Tricorder” derived from the Star Trek TV show. It will work with your smart phone and will take your retina scan, your blood sample and analyze your breath.

Cuomo veto of indigent defense bill disappointing

I

t was one of the final burning questions of the year: If the state would take over from local governments the cost of providing lawyers to the poor.

But despite being approved by both houses of the state legislature last June, Gov. Andrew Cuomo snuffed out the bill in the waning hours of 2016, calling the measure a “backdoor attempt to shift costs” to state taxpayers.

“I cannot increase the taxes of every taxpayer in this state to fund existing and future legal defense work in counties and with no accountability measures, nor can I dramatically increase the state’s financial burden outside of the state’s budgetary process or its financial plan,” Cuomo said in his formal veto statement, issued on Dec. 31.

By “accountability measures,” Cuomo was referring to fiscal oversight from the state budget office, which he had requested as part of the package.

Legislative leaders didn’t take the bait, and the deal fell apart.

Counties are still on the hook.

The legislation sponsored by state Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy and state Sen. John DeFrancisco would have required the state to pick up the full cost of indigent legal services over seven years.

Counties had argued those expenses were eating up an ever-larger slice of the budgetary pie as they tried to shore up their defense programs as part of the Hurrell-Harring agreement, which sparked a number of legal reforms in order to ensure localities met their constitutional obligations.

While the governor said he agreed with the broader concepts, this version of the bill would have placed an $800 million burden on taxpayers — $600 million of which he called “unnecessary” — with no way to pay for it.

Furthermore, said the governor, the bill would have required taxpayers to pay for “any and all existing expenses” related to general defense legal work — not just those related to Hurrell-Harring.

This is disappointing.

First of all, the legislation had wide consensus. In what seems to be increasingly rare in a splintered state, the bill had been championed from across the spectrum, garnering support from local officials and civil rights organizations alike, who found common ground as they framed the legislation in both moral and financial terms.

We think the governor’s financial argument is somewhat of a cop-out considering the increase in unfunded state mandates is one of the chief complaints we hear from local officials in the North Country, and why taxes continue to increase every year despite the best efforts of lawmakers.

The court system continues to groan under the weight of increasing crime, primarily due to the entrenched opiate epidemic, which will likely take years to curb.

North Country governments have universally endorsed the legislation, and have spent months lobbying for the governor’s signature.

Stories are similar across the state.

Even if the crime rate stays static, new guidelines from the state’s Office of Indigent Legal Services are projected to increase the cost of providing legal counsel because more people are now eligible.

So what’s the point of expanding the income eligibility guidelines if localities are still getting stuck with the tab?

Lastly, the state isn’t always tight with their purse strings.

Albany throws away hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies each year as part of the regional economic development awards.

While many of the projects funded in the North Country over the past halfdecade have been useful — namely the sweeping infrastructure projects that could not have been funded without long-term bonds — we see little merit in funding boutique private enterprises, or some of the other pet projects of powerful nonprofit organizations with deep pockets.

This program needs to be reformed.

So does the state’s economic development model designed to sprinkle private investors with state dollars for illusionary hi-tech projects: It’s scandalplagued, and has fallen under an increasingly long shadow this past year as state and federal investigators probe for malfeasance.

The governor said the indigent defense issue will be revisited this upcoming year.

We hope it will be. And at the same time, we hope a long, hard look will be given to some of the state’s more extravagant economic development programs that pay little dividends when it comes to job creation vs. the use of taxpayer dollars.

Because to us, that’s wasteful spending — not providing legal help to the state’s most less fortunate.

Cuomo has a long track record of progressive values. Just see his efforts on paid family leave, the minimum wage and outreach to curb hate speech and sexual assault on college campuses.

But this veto is a real headscratcher.

Referees,Ê coachesÊ Ô needÊ support,Ê notÊ criticismÕ To the Editor: How do you get to be coach of the year? One way: your record. Wins, championships and yes — sportsmanship.

Scott Nephew and staff deserved this honor because of hard work and dedication. Trying to match last year’s record while playing 10 road games with new players was quite a feat.

We lost at Peru, but then everyone loses at Peru.

There are many arm chair and sideline coaches and refs, with me being as guilty as anyone. Having coached softball, baseball and yes, football, for many years. I’ve heard the comments and yells from the sidelines.

These men need support, not criticism. Do they always make the right calls? Of course not, but the pros don’t either.

I’m sure they would like to have some do-overs, but who wouldn’t.

Remember: most of the calls must have been good, or we wouldn’t have been 9-2 and class D, section 10-7 champions.

This officiating left a lot to be desired, right?

Remember: the more you razz the refs, the worse they get.

We saw some really badly reffed games this year —Peru. But we hurt our team by yelling and name calling. Hometown refs are nothing new. They known who they are and must live with the fact that they were not honest and are not earning their money. Good job everyone. We fans will get better.

SayÊ Ô ChristmasÕ Ê if Ê youÊ wantÊ to To the Editor: Christmas is a time for celebration of love — love for people who are special to our lives, love for the beauty of nature in the winter, and love of sharing and being close in the midst of this celebration. This is depicted so incredibly well in the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” with Jimmy Stewart playing George Bailey. This is what I grew up with, and this is what I am wishing for others when I say Merry Christmas.

Now, Christmas is derived from cristmasse, or Mass of Christ, that is, a special mass in celebration of Jesus Christ and his birthday (and our discipleship off Jesus, for those who are practicing Christians.)

On the one hand, there would be no “Christmas” if there were no Jesus Christ and no Christ-centered celebration. On the other hand, there are atheists and people of other religions who go out of their way to wish others a very Merry Christmas, at this time of year. Possibly they instead wish you a happy Hanukkah or something else.

This is also very cool and a good thing.

I don’t know anyone who means, “You should be a Christian like I am,” or, “You should be celebrating the birthday of Jesus Christ, when s/he says “Merry Christmas.”

I think I have described here, at least approximately, the American culture surrounding the statement to others, Merry Christmas. My opinion is that it is not only acceptable but it is a good thing at this time of the year to wish somebody else “Merry Christmas” no matter what your religion or their religion or beliefs might be, if you want to. That is the reality of it in this culture.

The reality of education in our country now is that people remain ignorant of so much that is important to know, and that is the explanation for a lot of things that happen here which have to do with conflict among us. This is actually a huge problem. The answer, however, is not to retreat into our separate cliques and walk around on pins and needles (or egg shells) in order to refrain from upsetting someone else. The answer is to spread more understanding.

I would say on the whole that we are a very poorly educated citizenry in the United States now, and so many people do not read. If you don’t have the personal experience and you don’t read and no one teaches you, then you end up in an isolated fog (or angry coalition) about so much. I think it’s a crisis.

Wishing people a Merry Christmas if you want to, is a good thing, I believe, in the midst of all this.

SmokeÊ freeÊ isÊ theÊ wayÊ toÊ be To the Editor: Starting the New Year “smoke free” is a great idea!

‘Tis that time of year when you make your New Year’s resolutions: “A promise to do an act of self-improvement or an act of being kind.”

Might giving up smoking be your New Year’s act of kindness toward yourself and those you love? Quitting isn’t easy, but having a plan will help.

Planning is a major part of successfully quitting smoking.

Smokefree.gov offers details on how to create a successful quit plan, including: picking a quit date, letting loved ones know you’re quitting so they can support you, listing your reasons to quit smoking, figuring out what triggers make you want to smoke so you can avoid them, especially in the early days, and having places you can turn to for help right away.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

tion, smoking is still the number one cause of preventable death and disease in the United States. Quitting now can cut your risk for diseases caused by smoking and leave you feeling stronger and healthier.

Your doctor’s assistance will more than double the odds that you will succeed, and he/she can recommend medications to help you deal with cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

So if quitting tobacco is the act of kindness you choose this year, please talk to your doctor or call the New York State Smokers’ Quitline (1-866-NY-QUITS) for help making a plan.

Remember this act of kindness toward you and others could be life changing! Best of luck!

HillaryÊ ClintonÊ notÊ aÊ saint To the Editor: (In response to “Trump supporters can’t face the truth,” from the Dec. 31 edition of The Sun.) Mr. Guido, First, let me commend you on urging everyone to get behind President Elect Donald Trump. Love him or loath him, he will be our next President and we had all better hope and pray that he is successful.

You obviously have disdain for the Republican party in general and that’s okay. They are a long way from being pure of heart.

Undoubtedly, Donald Trump was not the first choice of the “party regulars” (maybe that’s a good thing) and he has his faults. However, I take issue with your statement that Hillary Clinton was not a liar.

An honest person doesn’t use a private e-mail server for confidential government emails and then delete over 30,000 of them to cover her tracks. Why did her staffers demand immunity before testifying?

The FBI never said she wasn’t guilty. They just doubted that anyone would have the guts to prosecute her. Considering the stranglehold Obama had on the DOJ, they were probably right! Concerning Benghazi, I think there is enough blame to go around, but I doubt she told the truth.

As to your praise of the Clinton Foundation, a bit of research will show that when the Clinton Foundation was put in charge of the relief money for the rebuild of Haiti after the earthquake, most of the contracts went to donors to the foundation. Much of the work was substandard or incomplete and much of that money found its way back into the Clinton Foundation. It’s called “pay to play.”

Unfortunately, much of our political system is rife with corruption. There is plenty of blame to go around but please, don’t try to sell me on sainthood for Hillary Clinton.

TrumpÊ Ô pulledÊ woolÊ overÊ hatefulÊ eyesÕÊ To the Editor: Just when I thought perhaps Trump was done with his stupid tirades, he comes up with another.

After President Obama put sanctions on the Russians for interfering with our election process, Trump sticks up for Putin and the Russians.

When I was in the military, I understood that “consorting with the enemy” was a crime! Trump, who was never in the military due to deferments during Vietnam, seems to feel he is different and can do whatever he pleases as president elect.

In 20 more days Trump will have our nuclear codes and he will have the opportunity to pass them on to his pal Putin. The old saying “the end has come” may be closer than we think!

I have always gone along with our electoral college, but now I have to say — something has to be done when a candidate wins by 2.8 million votes and still loses the election.

Trump did a masterful job of pulling the wool over hateful eyes and now we must pay for it.

My fellow warriors from the forces of our country fought for freedom and now freedom has been attacked from within.

Those who support Trump see no problem with his “bromance” with Putin and “consorting with the enemy.”

The Russians did interfere with our election process and

they are actively spying on our nuclear capability as well as other weapons in our arsenal. The Russians are responsible for chaos throughout the world but Trump supporters choose to ignore it. Trump hands out favors to those who supported him, such as the Jewish ones who handed him $75 million that we know of at this time. Could this be for his support of Netanyahu and the building on the West bank? Israel should be seeking peace with the Palestinians not looking for another war!

Netanyahu and Trump have formed another “bromance” as in the case of Putin and he is looking to have the United States back him by sending our troops to die for a cause dominated by hate! Sound familiar? We don’t need to send our troops into war just because we have a president who knows nothing about the cost in lives. It is my prayer that our military top brass won’t let this happen! At this point all we have left is prayer and I know many of us are praying as we start into the presidency of a man who doesn’t know what prayer is about.

God Bless America.

DonÕ tÊ ruinÊ thisÊ countryÊ forÊ TrumpÊ To the Editor: Whether you are a Clinton follower or a Trump follower, the one thing that truly matters at this point is how we, the Americans of this wonderful country, act.

In my opinion, politics is just another name for “snake oil salesman.”

Protesting is one thing, but causing damage to another person’s property is not how anything is going to be solved. Stop throwing a temper tantrum because you didn’t get your own way. Do you have any idea how juvenile you are being?

I am so embarrassed to call myself an American. I was born and raised in this country and yes, just like the most of America, I can say that my ancestors came from another country, but please stop acting like a two-year-old who didn’t get the glittery toy that you wanted — grow up fellow Americans, stop yelling and throwing your toys.

For all of those out there that are certain that Trump is going to ruin this country, don’t do it for him.

NorthÊ CountryÊ MarchÊ forÊ UnityÊ andÊ RespectÊ slatedÊ To the Editor: As the Tibetan spiritual leader, Dalai Lama, stated recently: “Humanity starts with the person next to you.”

A special community gathering, the North Country March for Unity and Respect, will be held on Jan. 21, 2017. This significant event is scheduled to join in solidarity with the Million March in Washington D.C. on the same day. The march is in response to the negative and inflammatory rhetoric that prevailed throughout the 2016 presidential campaign.

This is an opportunity to stand for everyone’s human rights, by coming together in peace, civility, tolerance, and acceptance of the diversity in our communities.

Everyone is invited to join the family friendly demonstration that is open to all faiths, genders, sexual orientations, races, and disabilities. Veterans are especially welcome!

The march will start 3 p.m. at the City of Plattsburgh’s Durkee Street parking lot and circle around to Trinity Park — followed by guest speakers from the community.

At dusk there will be a candle light vigil and prayer. For further information, please go to our Facebook page, North Country March for Unity and Respect.

If there is a need to reschedule due to weather, the march will take place on Saturday, Jan. 28, at the same place and time.

A Sun exclusive

Thurman in limbo as annual meeting ends in chaos Troopers summoned to clear town hall

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

ATHOL — The town of Thurman’s Local government functions came to a standstill Jan. 3 after a slim majority of the newly-aligned town board refused to pass routine municipal resolutions that allow government to operate, and questioned the basic authority of the supervisor to run a meeting and serve as the town’s chief executive.

The town’s reorganizational meeting ended in chaos Tuesday, with state troopers clearing the town hall after several citizens exchanged angry accusations — and a shove or two.

Newly outnumbered three-to-two on the town board by political opponents, Supervisor Evelyn Wood adjourned the town’s annual reorganizational meeting after newly-seated board member Cynthia Hyde refused to stop voicing protests concerning parliamentary procedure and questioning Wood’s authority.

Wood and second-term town councilman John Youngblood left the meeting, leaving Wood’s three political opponents on the five-seat board asserting that the meeting hadn’t been adjourned with their approval and threatening to pass their own resolutions without Wood and Youngblood present.

But with the majority of the audience of local citizens exiting the town hall, and town clerk Jeannie Sprague ceasing her note-taking and retreating to her office with a dismayed look on her face and tear-filled eyes, the three rebel board members — two of them elected in November — backed down from their pronouncements of mutiny.

Earlier, many of those in the audience jeered or cheered the board members’ actions.

The chaos began when former town clerk Cynthia Hyde, elected to the town board in November, objected to a routine annual resolution — routine in New York towns — that provides for the supervisor to sign specified contracts and conduct the town’s daily functions.

Supervisor Wood responded that restricting her power to conduct such routine business, including signing checks and legal documents — would require board members to be on duty all day throughout the year at the town hall to make dayto-day decisions.

Also, board member Michael Eddy questioned the town’s contracts that were listed in the table of resolutions.

“I don’t like leaving you as only signer of contracts,” he said to Wood, who responded that many of them had already been ratified, and that she would only be signing contracts as approved by the town board.

Eddy as well as Hyde and new board member Kathy Templeton, also elected in November, voted down the routine annual resolutions.

As Hyde proposed changing the resolution’s wording to restrict what documents the supervisor could sign, Wood suggested that Hyde draft her proposal and submit it for board members to be able to review for at least four days prior to a meeting as specified in town policy, but Hyde persisted in her attempt to have the issue discussed at the meeting.

Repeated protests by Hyde, who ran against Wood for the town supervisor post in 2015, prompted Wood to declare the meeting adjourned.

Among the resolutions left without ratification Tuesday was one calling for the town to raise its compensation to meet the state’s new minimum wage law.

The town’s Meals on Wheels driver, the town hall janitor, plow wingmen, cemetery laborer and the deputy town clerk are now earning $8.75 per hour, and are to be raised to $9.75 per hour as of Dec. 31, according to new state regulations.

The board’s dissenting majority expressed opposition to raising the pay of the Wood’s secretarial assistant post from $12.50 per hour to $16.67 per hour for Lester Losaw, who has served in the past as the town’s bookkeeper. Wood explained the cost of the raise was offset by a proportional decrease in Losaw’s hours.

Left in limbo, without ratification, were contracts with the attorneys for the town, the town engineer, the town health officer, the registrar of vital statistics, the deputy town clerk, the deputy highway superintendent, the supervisor’s secretary, the animal control services, the town historian, fire alarm services and the shared services agreement with the state Department of Transportation.

The town’s official holidays, official newspapers, mileage allowance, meeting dates, procedure for opening competitive bids, and mileage allowance were also not approved.

But the board did unanimously approve its polling place, bonding for public officers and investment policy.

Contacted at home after the meeting, Wood said the town attorney might have to attend the town’s next town board meeting Jan. 10 to interpret basic town law to the three dissenting board members about town executive authority, and explain potential consequences of not enacting routine municipal policies.

“I don’t think we can even pay bills at this point, and it may spell financial disaster for the town,” she said. “My biggest concerns are paying the bills, and complying with the law.

With these board members playing games, it could be a matter of public safety and endangering the lives of our citizens.”

The Troopers responded to quell the discord at the town hall — which included angry accusations and shoving — and to clear the building.

Turning Back The Pages Jean Hadden > Columnist jhadden1@nycap.rr.com

I

n this column, in the Dec. 17 issue of The Sun, I wrote a little about what life was like in Warrensburg, on River Street, just after the turn of the century. I received several interesting phone calls from readers who remember those days from memory or just recollect what they heard from older family members.

It was my pleasure to hear from Harold McKinney, who currently lives in Fort Edward. Harold’s younger days were spent in the River Street area where he grew up with his siblings, Rose, Michael and Susie McKinney.

They were the children of Wilbur McKinney and their mother, Florence Reynolds McKinney ran McKinney’s grocery store on River Street.

The general store stood in the former D.E. Pasco’s building, across the street from Pasco Hardware, now Curtis Hardware in the Lewisville section of River Street. Florence Reynolds McKinney took over the grocery store in the early 1940s.

I remember Charlie well, as he served in the Army during World War 11 and came home to run a trucking business, which he sold in 1960 to Maxwell Ovitt. Charlie, a congenial gentleman, would stop now and then on his trucking route to pass the time of day with my husband, Merv Hadden, and he was always welcome.

After 1960, Charlie took over the running of the grocery store on River Street and in those days, times were hard, money was short and customer credit finally took its death toll on the business. Today there is nothing left to tell the story but a vacant lot.

The store’s history J. Freeman Cameron was born Feb. 6, 1871 on a farm in the southwestern part of Warrensburg, near the Stony Creek line. He was the son of James O. and Lydia Ann Murray Cameron. James was from a family of brawny Scots whose members were the earliest settlers of the town and he grew up on the farm until he became a man. He worked as a section boss for six years for the Adirondack railroad at Thurman.

At the turn of the century, Lewisville was known as Warrensburg’s busy suburb and it was a bustling area. Around 1897 James came there and went into partnership with Charles A. Bowen, and they

www.suncommunitynews.com

established a general store in Delbert E. Pasco’s building.

They ran a thriving mercantile business, selling groceries, shoes and men’s clothing. Men’s heavy woolen clothing for working in the woods was popular with local workers and the Warrensburgh Woolen Mill, which manufactured woolen cloth, was just around the corner on Milton Avenue.

Before long James sold his share of the business to Charles Bowen and on Sept. 26, 1900 James married Miss Sarah Bowen, daughter of Miles Bowen of Athol. In 1907 they had a daughter, Laura Cameron.

James later went into business with Halsey Herrick for a short time and later with his brother, Dudley Cameron.

James was a staunch Republican, a town councilman and twice elected as Justice of the Peace. He retired in 1915 after nearly twenty years in the dry goods business. He died in 1916.

Times change, name changes In the early days when I first lived in Warrensburg, the store was always called McKinney’s Store by the locals. More times than not, the old timers would slip and call the place “Cameron’s Store.” J. Freeman Cameron was a well liked man, well remembered and admired by the droves of customers who did business with him those many years ago. After his death the McKinney family labored long and hard to keep this popular landmark going but it was not meant to be.

The old store held a drove of history, Harold McKinney has told me many stories about walking through the empty building after it was closed for business, reminiscing about all the people that had once walked through the front door over the years, all dead and gone.

Harold McKinney has told me that he would dearly love to see a picture of the old store and I am hoping that someone reading this story has a memory of such a picture, possibly stored away in their attic or cedar chest. Please call me if you can help in our quest because I can’t wait to hear from you.

longer Class II trails that connect two or more other communities,” DEC says of its design.

The state is looking to improve business and heighten economic impact to the winter economy in central parts of the park.

“This will bring positive, on‐going, economic impacts to the Adirondack communities. Impact will be in the form of increased business investment in the community, increased tax revenue, and possibly more year‐round business and employment opportunities,” DEC says in the 2015 Class II trail plan for Minerva, Newcomb and North Hudson.

DEC defends its Class II trail system as beneficial to the more protected Wilderness Areas.

“Shifting of recreational traffic to the periphery of Forest Preserve units and along transportation corridors should decrease user conflicts and wildlife impacts,” they explained in the trail plan.

Further Class II snowmobile trail development may hinge on the case brought by Protect against DEC and APA. The central constitutional matter is in a holding pattern, Bauer said.

“We are appealing the Supreme Court’s decision not to give us an injunction. The appellate court halted further tree cutting until the appeal has been ruled upon.

“If that appeal is not decided until June or July next year, then the temporary ban on tree cutting remains in effect. We see this as a high stakes lawsuit with regard to the forest preserve.”

Oral arguments on the case were held in Albany State Supreme Court on Dec. 5.

DEC had hoped to open the Seventh Mountain Trail by fall 2017.

The Minerva, Newcomb, North Hudson “Roosevelt Truck Trail” Class II Connector is planned in four segments to connect with Gulf Brook Road in Boreas with about 10 miles of new trailways aligned to existing snowmobile trails and a railroad bed.

ope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Baker’s Mills and will have a great News 2017. The crews have been busy Kjerstia Schilinski > Columnist plowing roads and driveways. kjarch2@juno.com Aren’t you glad we don’t get the storms we use to, when the snow banks were so high you couldn’t see some of the buildings? I remember the winter when there was so much snow, the Edwards Hill Road was closed up towards the top. The road crews took 36 hours to get through the snow by Annie Hitchcock’s. That was when wooden snow fences were put up in the fall.

Sorry to hear about the death of Larry Ingraham. He was the great grandson to Bessie Rist Call. Son to Dorothy Call Ingraham.

Prayers are with Frank and Patsy Noel and daughters, Tammy and Emma. They lost everything in a house fire just a few days before Christmas.

Nice to hear about all the many families that were able to get together over the Christmas holiday. Wish I could mention them all but way too many. Michael and Jamie Perry and two of their three children from Kentucky spent several days visiting family over Christmas. Joan Ross grandma was thrilled to see them all.

Duaine Allen is in the hospital in Pennsylvania for an infection that has been an issue for awhile. Praying things will be better for him soon.

Ed Bennett is home from the hospital.

Looking at Sunday’s Post Star, where it lists so many that passed away in 2016.

I have to think — some I have heard about them and their success for most of my life. I guess time waits for no one. Be sure to always tell your family how much you love them. No matter your age, time goes fast.

Happy Birthday to Katie Kramar, Noreen Bennett, Reggie Morgan, Brendon Warner, Thomas Blake, David Cleveland, Barbara O’Dell, Orlando Conlon, Laura Allen, Sterling Allen, Taylor Ordway, Makayla Denno, and Nathan Russell.

ach year, when I write my Christmas cards, I Mill Creek included a quote. This Musings year I chose lyrics from the song Janet Nickerson > Columnist slvgrljan@gmail.com “Thankful.”

“Even with our differences, there’s a place we’re all connected. Each of us can find each other’s light.”

In this time of religious and political polarization these words have special meaning. Sometimes it is hard to find that light. It may be masked by our own blinders. Or others may be failing to let their light shine brightly.

I spent Christmas in England nestled in the bosom of my loving family. On the cross Atlantic plane trips I watched my fill of “Love Actually” (England’s #1 Christmas movie).

I arrived home a day before last week’s snowfall. Winter is here to stay! My back lot is criss-crossed with deer tracks and the wild turkeys are easily visible against the frozen white landscape.

Now that 2017 is here, it is time for New Year’s resolutions. In addition to losing weight and saving money, I am resolved to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, a soul that never loses faith, and, above all, to be a source of light.

Hundreds of revelers charge into the icy waters of Lake George Jan. 1 during the village’s annual New Year’s Day Polar Plunge event. Thousands either participated in the frigid swim or watched the frigid frivolity.

LAKE GEORGE — Under sunny skies, more than 1,000 people crammed snow covered Shepard Park beach on Jan. 1, with 400 or so charging into the frigid waters of Lake George in several successive waves to celebrate the beginning of 2017.

Many were dressed in fanciful getups for the annual Lake George New Year’s Day Polar Plunge, to the delight of spectators garbed in parkas and scarves.

The first female to run into the icy waters in the initial wave of swimmers was Amanda Sadera, of Austin Texas, who was dressed as a Viking, along with her family members. As she ran back to shore shrieking, her father D.J. shoved her into the water.

Shivering, she chased him and slugged him with an oversized foam weapon as both of them laughed.

“It’s cold, but the feeling right before going underwater was just spectacular,” she said, noting that

the New Year’s Day Polar Plunge has been a tradition in their family for a half-dozen years.

Nearby, Amanda’s mother and D.J.’s wife Jennifer Sadera rolled her eyes at their antics.

“I’m the ‘Designated Dry Person,’” she said, explaining her annual role of standing on the beach in a parka and layers of warm clothing. “I’m smarter than the rest of them!”

Last year, Amanda was costumed as a mermaid and her father, a deep sea fisherman. The year before, the Sadera family and friends were costumed as EMS trauma team of nurses and surgeons, and they dumped D.J., posing as a patient on a stretcher, into the icy waters after losing their footing and getting engulfed by the crowd.

D.J. ran up the beach to escape his daughter’s mock wrath.

“Tomorrow, we start planning next year’s costumes,” he said. >> See PLUNGE | pg. 12

Stepping up their game, Burghers beat King’s School, 58-23

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — The ever-improving Warrensburg Boys Basketball team won their first game of the 2016-17 season Dec. 30 by beating King’s School of Lake Luzerne by a score of 58-23.

The victory was earned with a tough defense, crisp play execution and a balanced scoring attack. No less than eight Warrensburg players scored during the game.

The Burghers took an 18-2 lead in the first quarter, and boosted their advantage through the contest in the first round of Warrensburg’s annual George Khoury tournament.

King’s School’s defense contained leading Burgher scorer junior Garry Ross to 4 points, but sophomore Evan MacDuff responded by scoring 10 points and 11 rebounds through the game.

MacDuff was followed by juniors Cole Lanfear and Joe Kelly plus sophomore Brandon Bailey, each with 9 points. Adding to the score were senior Joe Turner with 8 points, sophomore Peyton Olden with 7 points and junior Brandon Turner with 2 points.

With the victory, Warrensburg’s 2016-17 record stands at 1-6 overall and 0-4 in the Adirondack League.

The championship and consolation games in the George Khoury Christmas tournament are to be held Jan. 14 at 1 and 2:30 p.m. respectively.

George Khoury coached boys basketball at Warrensburg High School between 1947 and the mid-1980s. In February 1983, he set a state record for career victories with 515 wins. Honored in the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame, Khoury retired after coaching at Warrensburg for 37 years, tallying 518 wins in varsity basketball, winning 13 league championships and four Sectional titles.

On Dec. 20, Warrensburg put up a solid fight against reigning Adirondack League Western Division champions HadleyLuzerne.

The Burghers lost 66 to 52, put played competitively against the Eagles, who have compiled an admirable record playing against all but the largest schools in the Adirondack League.

Against Hadley-Luzerne, Garry Ross scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. junior Zach Smith and Joe Turner each scored 11 points, John Kelly scored 5, and both Cole Lanfear and Evan MacDuff scored 3. Also, Kelly and Turner brought down 10 rebounds each. Employing steely defense, Kelly limited high-scoring athlete Connor Backus to six points

through the first three quarters. Backus finished the game with 19 points however, sharing top-scorer honors with teammate Cody Patnode.

The Warrensburg Varsity Boys Basketball Team listens to coach Mike Perrone describe game strategy during a pre-season scrimmage against Bolton. The Burghers won their first game so far in the 2016-17 season Dec. 30 by beating Kings Park of Long Island 58-23.

North Warren Cougars take third in Argyle tourney

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — With four of its players scoring in double figures, the North Warren Boys basketball team placed third in the Argyle Tournament held Dec. 28 by beating Berlin 81 to 65.

With the win — propelled by a strong 18-9 first quarter — the Cougars are 4-4 for the season and remain 1-3 in the Adirondack League.

Both teams went on a scoring tirade in the second quarter, with Berlin holding the advantage at 24-20, which narrowed North

Plunge << Continued from | p. 9

While the Sadera family was participating in the event as a theatrical experience, others were raising money for charities. Nearly a dozen members of the Shenendehowa Rotary Club took the polar plunge wearing shirts bearing the slogan “End Polio Now.” Ann Cargile, a member of the Rotary group, expressed why she felt swimming in frigid waters was appropriate to publicize their fundraiser, as she and others gyrated to David Bowie’s 1980s hit “Let’s Dance” broadcast over the Shepard Park P.A. system.

“When when go in the water, we don’t have much use of our limbs, but when we come back out we do — but polio victims never get the use back of their arms and legs,” she said.

Nearby, Don Espy II of Schaghticoke NY and his family members reached for towels in the snow to dry off after dashing into the lakewater bearing a large banner between two six-foot poles.

Espy explained why the banner was blank.

Warren’s lead to 5 points.

But the Cougars kept up pressure on Berlin in the third and fourth quarters to widen the lead. Basket by basket, North Warren built up an advantage that Berlin couldn’t overcome.

North Warren guard Hayden Smith, a 6’0” senior, was top scorer with 28 points, which included 3 three-pointers. Junior forward Steven Monroe made a key contribution with 21 points. Senior guard Patrick Terry contributed 14 points including six foul shots, and sophomore guard Joe Phelps aided the Cougar’s cause with 12 points. Junior forward Tim Lucid added four points; and Jesse Schwarz, also a junior forward, chipped in two points.

different slogan each year onto the banner in our photos of the plunge,” he said with a grin. “This gives us something to talk about all year long,” he said, noting that it was a 18-year tradition for the crew.

Trumping the Espy family’s record of polar plunges is Allen Rondeau of Queensbury, the great nephew of famed Adirondack hermit and hunter Noah John Rondeau, who stood nearby waiting his turn to take a swim. Allen Rondeau started his tradition of New Year’s Day swims in 1994 alongside Charlie “Papa Bear” Albert, who is credited with founding the frigid frivolity in Lake George.

“I love the polar plunge, because in colder years when you come out of the water, you get a layer of ice on your skin, and it starts cracking when you move,” he said. “It represents shedding off the old year and getting reborn into the new year.”

Standing several yards away on the snowy beach, John MacMillan of Chestertown — peering through sunglasses and garbed only in a swimming suit — offered similar thoughts.

“It’s refreshing and a great way to start the new year,” he said.

Leading Berlin was Roark Slattery with 27 points, which included 7 fouls shots.

The North Warren Junior Varsity team won their game the same night.

A day earlier, North Warren lost their tournament semi-final game to Ticonderoga by a score of 63 to 54, based on the Sentinels’ balanced scoring in the second and third quarters as well as tough defense through the game.

North Warren launched a comeback in the fourth quarter by posting 24 points to Ticonderoga’s 17, but it wasn’t enough to reclaim the lead.

Against the Sentinels, Hayden Smith was

also the Cougars’ top shooter, scoring 22 points including 3 three-point shots. Patrick Terry contributed 16 points, and Joe Phelps added 12, which included 2 three-point shots. For Ticonderoga, Evan Graney lead his team with 13 points, and Mike and Samuel DuShane scored 12 points each.

In the tournament final, Argyle defeated Ticonderoga 76-74 in overtime. In this suspenseful battle, Adirondack League star senior guard Kobe Lufkin scored 38 points, including 6 three-pointers. About a month ago, Kobe tied the school record — set by his older brother Joey — by scoring 54 points in a game against Hadley-Luzerne.

A local Kindergarten class collected “Pennies for the Plows” as their winter kindness project. The students then went to Tops with their teacher and purchased cookies. The cookies were delivered to the Schroon Lake Town Garage.

Ponds Tract from the Nature Conservancy last year, and the parcel is now open under an interim access plan.

The APA held eight hearings across the state last year to glean input, including local sessions in Schroon Lake, Newcomb and Ray Brook.

BeWildNY, who has not embraced an APA-sanctioned plan, also ended the year with a number of endorsements for its proposal.

In all, the coalition locked in the support of 12 newspaper and magazine editorials.

As of October, BeWildNY coalition members sent 3,500 individual letters to the APA and governor, according to a spokesman.

Still more letters have been submitted through the coalition’s website, with a final number yet to be determined.

A petition sent to the governor in November contained 22,000 CARS

signatures.

Access, according to a spokesman, provided the APA with petitions signed by more than 1,500 people.

More than 1,000 letters of support were submitted through Access’ website, said a spokesman, and the coalition is aware of “many other letters submitted directly to the APA and Gov. Cuomo by individuals and organizations that believe responsible recreation and economic growth can co-exist with environmental protection.”

“We are especially proud of the grassroots nature of this support,” said John Brodt, the spokesman. “Access the Adirondacks didn’t have a six-figure budget to rally support for our position, and we didn’t need it. Supporters of Alternative 1 spoke out because they truly care and they believe the facts and law are in our favor.”

Another group, Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, has also been engaged in the public comment period, and has offered their own plan for the parcels which is more restrictive than BeWildNY’s or those offered by the APA. BOATS

NEXT STEP Now that the public comment period has ended, agency staff will consider all public input and may incorporate those comments into what’s known as a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.

The FSEIS, according to the APA, will include a written response to public comments and will present final alternatives.

The alternatives may include modifications to those described in the draft statement. The final document will be brought to the APA board after the close of the public comment period.

“The Agency Board will then decide (a) whether to accept the FSEIS and (b) whether to recommend the [Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan] amendments to the governor,” according to an APA news release.

If the agency authorizes the APSLMP amendments, a resolution recommending the package will be forwarded to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for approval.
