A $200K investment coming to Indian Lake

By Christina Scanlon

INDIAN LAKE — Businesses in Indian Lake may be eligible for grant funding to aid with a face-lift including new windows, signage, lights, roof or maybe some energy efficient improvements.

“Tell us everything you want to do, we figure out which parts we can do and we try to make it happen,” said Nicholas Rose, executive director of the Collaborative Arts Project 21 — or CAP 21.

Rose will be assisting the town’s Main Street Revitalization Committee to determine how $200,000 from the recently awarded main street matching grant, funded through state Housing Trust, will be distributed.

It took four years of hard work to get the award, said Rose, crediting Brenda Valentine, president of the Indian Lake Community Development Corporation and chair of the Main Street Revitalization Committee, with making it happen.

For those who wish to apply for the funds, or for those interested in the process, an in-

After returning home from active duty, retired Army Col. Mike Derrick faces one final mission — defeating Rep. Elise Stefanik

formation meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m.

Feb. 23 at Indian Lake School.

Rose said some business owners have already expressed an interest.

Some criteria will put some business owners ahead of others to be selected, such as if the building is a mixed use. For example, a business with a project that also offers residential rentals, would take priority over a single-use building, Rose noted.

Business owners will also need to be able to come up with matching funds.

To be eligible for the grant funding, a plan will need to be presented by the business owner to the committee. If a final project is approved and estimated to cost $40,000 in total, the business owner would need to provide $20,000 toward the project.

The intent of these awards is to reinvest in downtown business areas that have seen better days, said Rose, “with an intent to revitalize area and bring in future investment.”

The committee is hopeful to have all projects and applications for funding submitted by the end of March.

Final rounds

NORTH CREEK — As the kettle began to boil, a man rose from his seat, removed it from the burner and fixed a cup of Irish breakfast tea beside his wife, who puttered away at the counter.

A masonry heater, stocked twice per day with wood, filled the timber-frame house with a gentle heat. A pair of dogs lay underfoot. On a side table, a selection of local books and newspapers lay scattered.

The kitchen table offered a panoramic view of an apple orchard that cascaded down the valley. A pair of mountain ranges towered from each side, one in each state.

It’s a view that allows the occupants to experience “the rhythm of the seasons” — a sea of white in the spring; red orbs in the fall. Naked branches in the winter.

For Mike Derrick, who hopes to be the district’s next federal representative, the tranquility is a dramatic change of pace from his army career — albeit a fleeting one.

Derrick, 54, retired at the rank of colonel after serving for 28 years. He returned to the family homestead with his wife, Kathy, and pondered the next step.

Cashing in on his bonafides wasn’t an option, Derrick said. Neither was resting on his laurels.

But continuing to serve his country was.

Military service runs strong in the family. Mike and Kathy, who is also a retired army colonel, raised four sons, two of which are serving active duty.

For Derrick, the concept of selfless service is a deeply-held ethic.

“It’s what we have done as a family,” he said.

Upon advice from his late father, Derrick mulled over entering the race to unseat incumbent Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro), who was elected in November 2014.

It was a race that drew national media attention, not only because of its recent history — a 2009 special election for its precursor, NY23, became an early referendum on President Barack Obama — but also due to the starpower of Stefanik, who was quickly pegged by the GOP establishment as the party’s Next Big Thing™. >> Story Continued | pg. 3

Krazy Downhill Derby spurs crazy idea for towns

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson and Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett flew down Dynamite Hill over the weekend, part of the annual Krazy Downhill Derby.

Their craft, known as the Rotary Rocket, made it’s third appearance at the event, sponsored by the Chestertown Rotary. The vehicle is considered the “pace setter” and rightfully so, said Leggett.

“Dynamite Hill started with the Rotary and the town about 53 years ago,” said Leggett.

“The Rotary has always played a big part,” he said, of the continued success of the hill.

Saturday, the two supervisors piled into that traditional vessel.

“He sat in the back and was the brake man and did all the steering. All I did was squeeze the horn and wave to people,” said Simpson of their trek down the hill Later, it would occur to Simpson that since he was in the front of the sled, he technically crossed the finish line first, and declared a tongue-in-cheek victory for Horicon over Chester.

But then again, he technically had a head start, and as Leggett pointed out, the competing sleds are supposed to be new each year.

The repeat appearance of the Rotary Rocket would disqualify them as real winners.

Attendants got in on the laughs, as well, as Simpson recalled hearing from a friend: “(Leggett) won the election by three votes, you just beat him by three inches.”

Joking aside, the event inspired an idea for Simpson.

“I thought we should make a real contest, with a real trophy,” he said, suggesting the winning town would hold the prize and attempt to reclaim it the following year.

His idea? “Maybe tug-of-war.”

Leggett’s idea? “I suggested scrabble.”

About 100 people were estimated to have shown up for the event. Taking top honors was Paul Matson, of Garnet Signs, piloting his helicopter sled.

Those in attendance participated in basket raffles, enjoyed warming up in the onsite building, dined on a continental breakfast and hot dogs and chili for lunch.

Derrick << Continued from | p. 1

The Peru native pondered the decision for six months before formally declaring last July.

“It’s not exactly a calm, productive retirement,” Derrick said, expressing a trace of dry wit.

Derrick said Congress needs to revert to a body of citizen representatives.

“We’ve gotten away from people who lead for reasons other than their own advancement, power and influence,” Derrick said.

The candidate’s resume is sprinkled with equal parts academia and battlefield grit.

Derrick began his career in Korea. Stints in Europe and in Desert Storm followed, as did graduate degrees from Indiana University, which he put to work at West Point and Fort Leavenworth as a teacher.

The colonel later commanded battalions at Fort Carson that prepared troops for deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Prior to his retirement, he led a missile defense wargame for US Strategic Command.

Now he’s back in Peru, spending his days crafting a campaign, assembling a staff, meeting with local officials and traversing the sprawling district in his Buick LaCrosse, which has logged 20,000 miles in the past seven months.

Colonels are the last rank in the army that retain a sense of direct control on the ground, said Derrick. After that, control tends to be exercised through subordinates, a process the candidate says often leads to detachment from day-to-day policy ramifications.

Derrick believes the skills applied through “small unit” leadership — like commanding a patrol of 12 guys in the DMZ through hairy conditions — can be translated to the civilian sphere in a political role.

The candidate, a self-proclaimed moderate Democrat, said the political center has spiraled out of control.

Federal legislation — budget bills and the highway bill, for instance — are being assembled at the last minute, while other issues, like immigration, are being ignored by lawmakers completely for partisan reasons, he said.

“That should be a deliberate careful process over the course of months, not thrown together in a matter of days,” Derrick said.

Policymaking is not an abstract concept, said the candidate. The inability, or unwillingness, to plan ahead has real-life ramifications, like when soldiers are awaiting orders once the new fiscal year rolls around and a spending plan hasn’t been approved by Congress.

Derrick recalled preparing contingency plans for his troops if stop-gap funding resolutions weren’t passed.

Failure to do so would have resulted in a standstill.

“You can see what happens when there’s

dysfunction in Congress,” Derrick said.

This behavior would never pass the sniff test at the local level, he said.

And this is one of the concepts underpinning his candidacy, experience with federal bureaucracy.

While Derrick doesn’t appear to be an idealist, he does identify as an optimist.

The candidate, in a pair of sprawling discussions with a reporter and the Sun’s editorial board, conceded that one man venturing to Washington, D.C. isn’t going to change a governing body whose performance Americans continually rank as abysmal (Just 16 percent of Americans approved of the job Congress was doing in 2015, reported Gallup).

But Derrick does hope his “fact-based campaign” will elevate him to the body, where change can be as simple as putting different people in one district at a time. Derrick cites folks like Ruben Gallego (D-AZ-7), Seth Moulton (R-MA-6) and Tulsi Gabbard (DHI-6) as three vets whom he admires.

All of whom have recently made the transition from military to political service.

Perhaps unsurprisingly coming from a lifelong “instrument of national policy,” as he put it, Derrick speaks in precise, measured tones, with each word deliberately selected.

Possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of local issues — even down to discussions about shared services between local school districts and the lack of municipal wastewater treatment systems in Essex County, one of the 12 in the district — Derrick was at his most animated while discussing his family (“Between two careers, and four children, that has been our passion”) and stories he heard on the campaign trail, like the Ogdensburg couple who waited five years before getting pregnant so they could earn enough sick

ope you all had a happy Valentines Day. Lots of red roses and red hearts.

Living anywhere in the UnitKjerstla Schilinski > Columnist ed States we can talk about the kjarch2@juno.com weather. Up until this weekend our area has been pretty mild.

NOW!! Way below zero over the weekend. I had -19 on Sunday morning. Very much colder at other places in our small hamlet. Thankful the weather didn’t blow as was suppose to be according to the weather man. I just couldn’t warm with the wood cook stove, furnace and small electric heater. Added more layers.

Just nine days after hip surgery Fred Allen went to church and preached. Glad he was able to be out and going.

Trena Riedinger surprised her daughter, Charlie, in Colesbay, Tasmania, Australia for a few days visit. Charlie graduated in June of last year. She worked a couple of summers at Sagamore.

Now working at a Resort far away. Trena and Charlie had a great time in such a beautiful country.

The Ladies Tea at the Sodom Community Church was a huge success despite the COLD weather. A fun brunch with lots of reds and pinks for decorations. Alice Dunkley was the guest speaker. What a great presentation on her journey of suffering from COPD, lungs and liver conditions. She explained so much. She is willing to answer any questions you may have.

Jay and Linda Witham and Steve and Phyllis have been enjoying the great weather of Florida. Letting us know they are warm and not like us in the North Country. For now anyway.

There has been lots of snow all around us all winter.

time to care for their newborn.

After moving into the US Army Reserves, Derrick became a stay-at-home dad for five years. The frequent moves were hard on the kids. As such, he and Kathy decided not to do too much at the “risk of doing something not well.”

Shortly afterward, Kathy finished her active duty career.

Derrick said those five years — including a stint in the Alaskan winter with three toddlers and a newborn — have given him a unique perspective on family policy.

Not everyone is as fortunate as Kathy, who received maternity leave, he said.

Others have to circumvent the lack of policies in creative ways, Derrick said, like planning to give birth on a Friday so they can be back at work on Monday.

“These people can’t afford to not work,” Derrick said of the Ogdensburg couple, both public school teachers. “That’s just what’s crushing many of our middle class families.

When good families choose not to have children because they can’t continue to work, something’s wrong in our society.”

Discussions with veterans also struck a nerve, like those who continue to grapple with access to health care, including treatment for hepatitis C. Eight-thousand veterans in the district may be undiagnosed, said Derrick, citing the efforts of American Legion Post 1619 in Morrisonville to push for vets to get tested.

“Many of our lawmakers in Washington have never darkened the door of the VA,” Derrick said. “I’ve spent a whole lot of time being treated by the VA, so this is something to me that is very, very real.”

Derrick also cited national security and environmental issues as other hot topics of discussion while on the stump.

The candidate said these experiences — as a military man, parent and an educator — are indispensable and cannot be substituted by academic study, which is often confused with leadership, Derrick said.

“The last thing we need more of in Washington are subject matter experts,” Derrick said. “Just because you know a lot about something doesn’t necessarily mean you can process all that, pull out the salient points, create whatever your priorities are and articulate those with decision — that’s leadership.

And I think we’ve lost that in great measure in Washington.”

Unseating Stefanik won’t be a cakewalk, admitted Derrick. Challenges lie ahead, including fundraising and combating what he anticipates will be a wave of “dark money” flowing into the race from outside of the district.

“I’m expecting to be outspent 4-1,” he said.

Quoting Steve Israel (D-NY-3), powerful former head of the Democratic National Congressional Committee who opted against seeking re-election this year, Derrick said soliciting funds is like “panhandling with hors d’oeuvres.”

But in the military, fear is non-existent, Derrick said. Courage is paramount.

“I’ve been in a few fights before,” Derrick said. “I’ve got a few left in me.”

What is our grade?

omeone told me long ago that a good trial lawyer never asks a witness on the stand a question in which he or she does not already know the answer to.

Unfortunately, I’m not a trial lawyer and we have no other way to discover the truth without just asking the question.

So here goes: How are we doing serving your informational needs as a community paper?

Throughout my career as a newspaper publisher of both paid and free, daily and weekly newspapers, readers always expect more and that’s understandable, to a point.

I remind you with an editorial staff of seven, a handful of freelance correspondents and a support staff of 48 north country residents we cover 36 school districts, more than a half dozen private schools, three higher education schools, 72 towns, villages, and city governments, and four county governments.

Our free distribution model which mails 52,057 papers each week, is only supported when you, an organization, local government or business purchase an advertisement in the paper.

We are constantly looking at ways to improve our coverage and service across all platforms of print, electronic and mobile, but we recognize there are limits to what we can provide. Nonetheless, with your guidance we can work to trim the items you don’t find useful while adding other information you may find of greater value.

As other media outlets in the region tighten their coverage, our long term local commitment compels us to try and pick up the slack. In the next few weeks we’ll be announcing a new major advertiser to our weekly insert package in a significant region of coverage.

I’m asking you to call me, email me, or go to our online feedback form at the bottom of the Sun Community News home web page and tell me what you think about your paper or The Sun web site.

Let me know your thoughts about our features, columnists, coverage of sports, government or local people. The things you enjoy about the paper and the things you dislike about the paper.

Are our new features like the calendar of events page or the regional editorial page to your liking? What about our outdoor coverage or the farmer’s market directory on The Sun Community News web site?

Whatever your thoughts might be, good or bad, we need to know. We have broad shoulders and we’ll take every opinion into consideration.

Three-pronged approach critical for combatting smack scourge

N

ew York’s battle against heroin is back in the headlines with a pair of heavy-duty developments in the drug world.

Last week, the state announced plans to open a detox center and outpatient facility in Schuyler Falls, Clinton County.

Fighting addiction is tough enough. Doing so in a remote region with few services must be overwhelming. Once opened, the facility will be a gamechanger for tri-county residents seeking treatment to kick their addictions to all substances, not just heroin.

News of the center comes on the heels of a recently released report that determined the lack of treatment options is a huge roadblock for combating the plague of heroin addiction.

The drug does not discriminate. Deaths across all income levels and races have quadrupled since 2002.

The report, released after state assembly Republicans held hearings across New York, reveals widespread frustration with the epidemic from those on the frontlines.

Health care professionals, law enforcement officials, rehab providers, addicts and their loved ones all say monster truck-sized holes remain in public policy.

While heroin deaths have mushroomed — the uptick stems from a pharmaceutical industry gone amok — services, including rehab facilities and treatment programs, remain patchwork across the state.

“In some cases,” read the report, “parents said they had their children arrested just to get them into detoxification programs.”

Detoxing from opiates isn’t as simple as willpower, says the report.

Users describe agonizing flu-like symptoms — “right down to the marrow of your bones” — that can last up to 14 days.

But some insurance companies only pay for three days of treatment, which means addicts are being discharged at the height of their symptoms.

With relief just a quick shot away, dependence on the drug becomes a vicious cycle. Desperation often leads to petty crime. Incarceration follows.

So does death.

To address these and other issues, the report offers a number of solutions based on the premise that the key to staying clean requires three interworking components: Detoxification, rehabilitation and recovery.

While detox and rehab are imperative to getting clean, long-term aftercare programs are critical to prevent addicts from relapse, said the report.

But at present, each system is flawed: Hospitals are closing detox centers due to substandard Medicaid reimbursement rates. Insurance programs are often unwilling to pay for inpatient treatment programs, which in turn, have lengthy waiting lists (admissions to in-state programs jumped 17.8 percent between 2009 and 2014).

The report contains a number of possible solutions to ensure that these three components can work hand-in-hand.

HowÊ manyÊ localÊ workersÊ doesÊ nursingÊ homeÊ employ?

To the Editor: So a few days ago, a local friend of mine, someone I consider to be an honorary good old boy since he’s been here a long time, asked me if I knew how many locals are being employed by our Elizabethtown nursing home facility, the Essex Center.

I told him that I had no clue and hadn’t really thought about it.

Since I had no clue, and he saw me thinking about it, he then asked me to

While a number of criminal justice solutions are also offered, the findings mark a significant milestone in the state’s acknowledgement that drug addiction is primarily a public health issue, not just a criminal one.

Buried in the report is a call for improved connections between correctional systems and addiction services so inmates can receive treatment while incarcerated.

Essex County is actually at the forefront of this policy.

It’s a little-known fact that the county partners with St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Centers to offer an innovative program at the Essex County Jail.

The program, spearheaded by chemical dependency counselor Dennis Furushima, has a participation rate of about 50 percent.

Once admitted, addicted inmates are examined by the medical department.

Following a screening process to determine eligibility, inmates then undergo detox. After the physical symptoms fade, Furushima engages in a number of therapeutic methods designed to get the addicts on the road to sustainable recovery.

Ideally, participation in the program will give inmates the life skills necessary to make them productive members of society.

The jury is still out on recidivism rates, said jail officials. But inmates and administrators alike say the program is a smash hit. While it is likely some addicts want to shave time off their sentences, admitted Furushima, in doing so, they’ll hopefully emerge with a set of internal motivators that will slow their appetite for destruction.

The course has also acted as a launchpad for inmates to get involved with other activities, including GED classes and a Bible study group, making their stint in the slammer not entirely a wasted effort.

The program is so popular, said Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting, that it has developed a national buzz among agencies and officials from across the country, including the Burlington-based federal defender who recently toured the facility.

Detoxification, rehabilitation and recovery.

Our homegrown providers right here in Essex County are providing better services to inmates than many licensed recovery providers across the state are providing to paid clients.

That speaks volumes to the compassion, dedication, commitment and forward-looking approach by all agencies involved.

For that, they should be commended.

The rest of the state should look to this partnership.

It’s one that needs to be emulated, and we’re lucky to have it.

Well, I also have no clue about how to find out, so, I’ll ask all of you reading the Sun: Does anyone out there know if many locals are still employed or have been hired by our local nursing home since it’s gone private and is good care provided?

My friend and I would like to know, and perhaps others would be interested as well.

AÊ dayÊ of Ê Ò sorrowÊ andÊ sadnessÓ

To the Editor: About two weeks ago, there was again for me, a day of sorrow and sadness, for I have for years advocated the use of helicopters only for transport of cargo and weapons supply and not for transport of human beings.

The day was Jan. 16, and I believe that helicopters don’t fly. There is a sideways, mounted propeller on the tail section that prevents the contraption from spinning like a top.

How can a “training mission” under dangerous conditions off Hawaii’s coast, with the crash of two helicopters, result in the terrible loss of so many lives?

How can this be necessary?

It should be noted that all these silly “training missions” have been ordered by equally silly and unknown instructors. There was another training mission about a month ago off the east coast, also under dangerous conditions (night time and fog) in which all were lost.

Helicopters were involved in this loss.

On a different subject, but also on Jan. 16, it is important to note that congress, our representatives, were not influential when Barack Obama, by executive order, augmented the implementation of the Iranian nuclear deal.

We are fast approaching a one man rule.

The little that I can do is to be a “no war pro life” candidate who will run in opposition to either Elise the congresswomen Stefanik, or Charles the pretender Schumer.

Let me explain. For years, I have held the belief that the highest honor a man or woman could have is to hold, for 2 years, the office of U.S. Representative in Congress. Charles “The Pretender” Schumer has promised “to study” the Iran nuclear dal. By saying not much else, Charles Schumer pretends not be aware of the great similarity that exists with the emergence of Iran as the most powerful military nation in the Middle East relatively soon and the emergence of Nazi Germany, in early September 1939 as the most powerful military nation on the face of the earth at the time.

At that time, England did not stand a snowball’s chance in hell of any victory over Germany anyway.

LentÊ dietÊ goodÊ forÊ bodyÊ andÊ spirit

To the Editor: This Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert before launching his ministry.

But meat-free Lent is much more than a symbol of religious devotion to

Christ. It helps reduce the risk of chronic disease, environmental degradation, and animal abuse. Dozens of medical reports have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases. A 2007 U.N. report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases and water pollution. Undercover investigations have documented farm animals being beaten, caged, crowded, deprived, mutilated, and shocked.

Lent offers a superb opportunity to honor Christ’s powerful message of compassion and love by adopting a meat-free diet for Lent and beyond.

After all, it’s the diet mandated in Genesis 1:29 and observed in the Garden of Eden.

Our supermarket offers a rich array of plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, as well as the more traditional vegetables, fruits, and grains. Entering “vegan recipes” in our favorite search engine offers more products, recipes and transition tips than we can use.

AmericaÊ isÊ great!

To the Editor: Republicans have done their best to give Americans a bleak picture about our country.

Trump and Cruz tell voters they want to make America “great” once again and want other countries to respect us. Those of us who think for ourselves know America is great and other countries do respect us.

As a person who has traveled throughout Europe, I have met people from several countries who have told me how much they admire America and our president. Many talked of how they would like to be Americans as they look up to our country.

We have the greatest freedoms and standards of living. Our military is beyond question and is better equipped and trained than any other. America is the most powerful nation on earth and the most respected.

If we were as weak as Republican candidates would have us believe, Americans would be speaking Russian or Chinese! Make no mistake these two great powers know they can only go so far as they fear and respect America’s might. We do have more work to do in providing health care and the ACA is a good start.

Our tax structure needs tweaking making the richest pay as do the middle class. American companies that use loopholes and headquarter in foreign countries to avoid taxes should face penalties. Companies that pay their fair share and treat employees with dignity should be rewarded. If Congress did a lick of work these things could be done in a single session.

To Trump, Cruz, Rubio and the other Republican candidates, I say stop putting my country down. America is now and will always be the greatest nation God created.

TiÊ andÊ MoriahÊ areÊ twoÊ greatÊ footballÊ teams!

To the Editor: Two great teams. Both are well-coached and loaded with all-stars.

Each team beat the big three Peru, Saranac Lake and Beekmantown in the same year. Moriah went 8-0 and Ti, 7-1. Both teams boasted great offenses and tough defenses. Moriah won Game One 28-6 and deserved to do so. The title game was a toss up throughout. It was a shame someone had to lose.

“Overtime? Wow!” It doesn’t get any better than that. Ti hangs on 6-0, then Ti proceeds to shut out its next four opponents, four counting Moriah.

Has that ever been done before? Ti outscored its five playoff opponents, 174-33.

Tioga was one of the best Class D teams to ever take the field. Their halfback set all kinds of state records, yet Ti could have won. Game was won with 16 ticks left on the clock. Coaching staffs from both schools did a tremendous job both on the field and off, with everyone showing a lot of class and good sportsmanship.

I would like to thank Gary Gray for all the time and effort he puts in with the guys who want extra work. He and his wife never missed a game. The extra workouts show on the field. “Remember failure to prepare is preparing to fail.”

Excellent job by both teams and awesome fans.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Warm & Cold Gordie Little

Columnist

I

s it possible to be warm and cold at the same time?

I wrote this on Valentine’s Day. It was a warm day in my heart as I greeted that Sunday morning by sharing a card and a kiss with my wife of almost 42 years. I would refer to her as Catherine the Great, but Kaye would demur.

The temperature that day was cold enough to freeze your words if you tried to converse outside.

You would have to bring them inside to thaw in order to hear anything.

It was cold enough that if you had brass monkeys on the lawn, you brought them in as well. We needed that kind of silly humor last week when the thermometer bottomed near 30 below in some places. We didn’t dare to smile, or risk cracked lips.

Kaye dressed me in thick duds to keep the cold outside when I ventured to Saranac Lake on Saturday for a TV show at the Winter Carnival. There were many wags urging them to cancel the parade, but that wasn’t going to happen. It was shortened to keep the youngest marchers inside and to prevent damage to frozen lips on musical instruments. Still, it was a great time and I enjoyed the visit with family and friends.

When my audience sees the shaky videography, they will be treated to lovely scenes of sky and earth as I attempted to see through foggy glasses and a frosted screen. I suffered prickly facial skin at the palace and opted to slip on a strange-looking, but effective, full face mask when I recorded the parade. Double socks and thick long johns rounded out the cold weather garb and I was most grateful to Kaye for the outfit.

We live in a beautiful area that I enjoy through all the seasons but, as I nudge old age, the minus 20-something thermometer readings are less appealing. I suppose that’s the stuff of legends. If it weren’t for that, I would have been hard put to settle on a topic this week.

Meanwhile, back to Kaye and our toasty Morrisonville home.

We’ve had many good times throughout our decades together. We’ve also managed to survive weather conditions that are frightening even in retrospect.

We logged four-foot snowfalls and minus 40 degrees. There were frozen pipes and stuffing logs into the old wood stove.

We survived. We’re a hardy bunch. That’s what our granddaughter Kelly said when we walked out of her mother’s house to head for the parade. We’ll remain hardy for whatever the weatherperson brings us in the future.

Of course, at this stage in our lives, we take a respite in the sunny southland in the midst of winter just to improve our attitude.

We hope you also had a fine Valentine’s Day with somebody you love. Mine was delightfully warm right here with Kaye. How I love that woman.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Carpe Diem

I

was born and raised here. For most of my life, the Adirondacks have been my home. It’s because of this that I find myself consistently surprised when I meet others who have been here for just as long, yet we’ve never crossed paths. There are so many lives being lived parallel to your own. A single place can mean something different to so many people. For some, this place is one from which to escape. For others, it’s the place they escaped to.

To you, the reader, I want to say that it’s an honor to share this place with you. It snows a lot, and sometimes crazy things happen, but this place is ours. What we do here and what it will mean to us will be different, but I hope that you find your happiness here. And maybe – just maybe – our paths will cross somewhere along the way.

In the meantime, carpe diem.

Beaty okay with move to hire admin, unhappy with ‘sky is falling’ notion

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — Warren County Supervisors are moving ahead with an effort to fill the soon-to-be-vacant seat of County Administrator Paul Dusek, despite a request, and some support from the board’s Personnel and Finance Committee, to hold off on hiring.

Queensbury Supervisor at-Large Doug Beaty initially proposed a six-month hold on filling the spot, but reduced the moratorium to 90-days after committee discussion. The measure failed by a 7-4 vote.

Following the meeting, Beaty was not unhappy with the results, confident, he said, the board could still move forward properly if members take time to conduct a nationwide search and vet the candidates properly.

The reaction of others during the meeting, however, he said was contrary to that belief.

“Partly what came out of the meeting is that (Thurman Supervisor Evelyn) Wood and (Hague Supervisor Edna) Frasier acted like the Armageddon was coming if no one was in place,” he said.

Frasier, in an interview following the meeting, denied any such comments.

“I did not speak up to say anything. I sat there and I listened,” Frasier said.

Frasier invited Beaty to “go back and listen to the minutes.

Maybe we weren’t at the same meeting.”

Beaty said he disagrees as he is confident in the abilities of JoAnn McKinstry, assistant to county administrator, in the interim.

Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson voted against holding off on a search and hire process, noting it could take six months on its own to find the right candidate. He agreed with Beaty that the county could manage in the meantime.

“We have a great team of people, a lot have offered to step up to the plate and do whatever is needed to continue to keep the county functioning,” he said.

The recent vacancy and hiring process to fill the county attorney position was evidence to that, he said.

Beaty said he was frustrated with parts of the meeting once it had concluded.

“I asked a simple question. I asked, ‘Don’t we have a succession plan?’ And I wish I’d had the policy in front of me then,” he said.

What Beaty discovered after the meeting was the county’s policy states: “The Chairman of the Board of Supervisors shall be the acting County Administrator in the event of the County Administrator’s absence from the County or inability to perform and exercise the powers and duties of the office for an extended period.”

Board Chairman Kevin Geraghty, in an interview following the meeting, said Beaty never asked that question during the meeting. Frasier confirmed she also did not hear such a question asked.

In an email to Geraghty following this discovery, Beaty wrote, “I was a little disappointed you did not speak up at the committee meeting knowing you would be the person replacing any short term openings in the County Admin. Position.

Also found it odd that Mr. Dusek never said a word as I am sure he knows the succession plan. No matter, you allowed Evelyn (Wood) and others to ramble on that the sky would fall and all plans would be scrapped because we have no-one in that position.”

Geraghty said he has filled in for Dusek on a number of occasions, for such things as a medical absence.

“It’s always been that way,” Geraghty said of the policy. “I’ve always done what I’ve had to do. To do it for six months would be kind of difficult, but I’ll do whatever we need to do,” he said.

To the full board, Beaty countered the idea that the position would be hard to fill or need an immediate replacement.

“Some Supervisors have expressed concern that no-one will apply for the position. That is in my opinion is a crock of bull. If we do the search CORRECTLY we will have amble [sic] qualified candidates step up,” he wrote, while comparing

how a search in Lewis County to fill a county manager position was done.

“For the record, it is my understanding that Lewis county DID not rush, took around one year to fill the position (the chairman stepped in during that time frame) and got over 20 candidates from around the country to move to Lowville. Yes, you read that right, Lowville in Lewis county. With what we have to offer as one of the most beautiful counties in the U.S. besides offering a great quality of life, we should have ZERO problem recruiting good candidates. It must be a NATIONWIDE search, and done correctly. Not just some local limited search,” he wrote.

In Lewis County, the search took several rounds and 10 months to complete, ending with the hiring of a candidate with decades of experience in the aviation and steel industries.

The full board next meets Feb. 19, where more discussion or an approval to advertise for the position could develop.

Beaty, in his email, voiced opposition to Dusek’s inclusion in the hiring process.

“Finally, I am against our current Administrator from having any input with the candidates unless we ask him too [sic].

As we all know, his performance has been tainted with the FBI, County and State report recommending charges could be brought forth as well as other questionable concerns,” he said.

To Beaty’s request to exclude Dusek in the hiring of his replacement, Geraghty in a phone interview said, “Not everyone shares (Beaty’s) view on (Dusek’s) performance.”

SUNY ADK adds to Dean’s List QUEENSBURY — Students named to the Fall 2016 Dean’s List at SUNY Adirondack include: Pamela Bennett, Maxine Cunniff and Caroline Lomnitzer of Indian Lake, Shelby Allen and Brittney TenEyck of Johnsburg; Karissa Wright of Minerva, Jessica Hill, John Pierson, Laura Richards and Justin Viele of North Creek, Amber Braman and Jessica Cutler of Stony Creek.

Johnsburg boys, girls prepare for sectionals

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — With perhaps the most hyped teams in the history of Section VII, the battle to earn a championship trophy begins with 11 teams mentioned in the New York State Sportwriter’s Association polls.

Girls Class B

Perhaps the most anticipated matchup of the season could take place in the Section VII/Class B girls championship game, as ninth-ranked and top seed Northeastern Clinton could face 19th ranked and second seed Beekmantown.

The Lady Cougars and Lady Eagles only have one loss in the CVAC in 2015-16, with each team defeating each other on their home courts. The Eagles have lost two non-league games, giving the Cougars the seeding edge.

Looking to spoil the potential match-up between NCCS and BCS are third seed Peru, who host sixth seed Saranac Lake at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16. Fourth seed Saranac will host fifth seed Plattsburgh High, also at 6 p.m. Feb. 16. Those winners will face their respective semifinal opponent (3/6 v. 2; 4/5 v 1) in the Class B semifinals Friday, Feb. 19, at Northern Adirondack Central School, with winners meeting in the Class B final Friday, Feb. 26, 8 p.m. at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse.

Class C The sixth-ranked Northern Adirondack Bobcats look to return to the NYSPHSAA Class C championship game at Hudson Valley Community College, earning the top seed in Class C and opening the playoffs in the semifinal round against fourth seed Ticonderoga in a game set for Wednesday, Feb.

17, 7:30 p.m. at Beekmantown.

The first semifinal matchup at Beekmantown will pair second seed and 17th ranked AuSable Valley against third seed Seton Catholic, who will be without two starters due to their commitment to Mission of Hope.

The Class C championship game will take place Friday, Feb. 26, 6:15 p.m. at the PSUC Fieldhouse.

Class D The Keene varsity girls program has again earned the top seed, as the 16th ranked team statewide in Class D will open Friday, Feb. 19, at 6 p.m., hosting either eighth seed Schroon Lake or ninth seed Wells, who play Tuesday, Feb. 16, 6 p.m.

Moriah will enter the tournament as the second seed, hosting seventh seed Johnsburg, while third seed Westport will host sixth seed Crown Point and fourth seed Willsboro hosts fifth seed Lake Placid. All quarterfinals games are set for Feb. 19 with 6 p.m. starts.

The Class D semifinals will take place at AuSable Valley Tuesday, Feb. 23, with 6 and 7:30 p.m. start times, while the Class D finals tip at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26, at the PSUC Fieldhouse.

Boys Class B

Northeastern Clinton, an honorable mention in the NYSSWA Class B poll, earned the top seed in Section VII and will face the winner of fourth seed Plattsburgh High and fifth seed Beekmantown (Wednesday, Feb. 17, 6 p.m.) in the semifinals at Northern Adirondack Saturday, Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m.

The 6 p.m. matchup Feb. 20 will pit second seed Peru against the winner of third seed Saranac and sixth seed Saranac Lake (Wednesday, Feb. 17, 6 p.m.).

The Class B championship will take place Saturday, Feb. 27, 3 p.m. at the PSUC Fieldhouse.

Class C The AuSable Valley Patriots held the second spot in the Feb. 9 Class C polls before falling to Class D power Moriah, but earned the top seed in the Section VII playoffs, opening with a semifinal game against fourth seed Ticonderoga at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Feb. 18, at Beekmantown.

The 6 p.m. game Feb. 18 will see second seed Northern Adirondack play third seed Seton Catholic (a NYSSWA honorable mention), with winners from both games facing off in the Class C championship Saturday, Feb. 27, 1:45 p.m. at the PSUC Fieldhouse.

Class D While the top-ranked Moriah Vikings are the darling of Section VII, their road to the Class D state final four may be the most crowded, with two honorable mention teams within their own section and seven of the top 20 within their region.

The Vikings, who finished their second consecutive undefeated regular season, will start their march for a third straight trip (fourth overall) to Glens Falls with a quarterfinal matchup against either eighth seed Johnsburg or ninth seed Keene (Wednesday, Feb. 17, 6 p.m.) at home Saturday, Feb. 20, 6 p.m.

Other quarterfinals set for 6 p.m. Feb. 20 pit second seed and state honorable mention Willsboro against seventh seed Wells; third seed and state honorable mention Westport against sixth seed Lake Placid; and fourth seed Schroon Lake against fifth seed Elizabethtown-Lewis, with Willsboro, Westport and Schroon Lake hosting, respectively.

The Class D semifinals will take place Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 6 and 7:30 p.m., while the championship game tips at noon Saturday, Feb. 27, at the PSUC Fieldhouse.
