LONG LAKE — Let’s do the time warp again. On March 4, the Town of Long Lake will host a ‘50s-’70s nostalgia blowout concert, with The Oldies Show performing classics from each era. The show is made possible by a $1,550 grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, through the Adirondack Lake Center (ALCA) for the Arts. The grant comes as one of 34 awarded to community arts projects around the region, with the state granting a total of $91,000 to various arts and entertainment outlets in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties.
“The funding will help offset the cost of the show,” said Alexandra Roalsvig, director of parks, recreation and tourism for the Town of Long Lake. “Because of the grant, we’re able to lower the ticket price.” Tickets are now $10 for adults and $5 for kids. Roalsvig said that she hopes the lower ticket price will get community members to come out who normally wouldn’t be able to. “We still have to charge a fee, but it softens the blow,” she said. The Oldies Show, a 9-piece cover band from Albany, will perform at the Long Lake Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. The group has opened for a number of famed rock and rollers, including Sonny Terry and the Drifters. The rock troupe features vocalists Rick Storm, Fabian Johnson and Kit Pettit, trumpeter Frank Miller, saxophonist Charlie Vatalaro, keyboardist Mike Moss, guitarist Steve Sizemore, bassist Mark Pietrafesa and drummer Joe Bonville.

Lawmaker met with U.S. General, North Korean defector as part of House Intelligence Trip By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has returned stateside from an overseas trip to South Korea and Japan. Stefanik, a newly minted member of the House Intelligence Committee, returned from the delegation trip on Sunday. The sophomore lawmaker met with General Vincent Brooks, United States Forces Korea, to discuss security threats. Stefanik also met with a North Korean defector, who conveyed the “importance of continued sanctions to pressure the rogue regime and shared stories about the lack of access to information and internet in North Korea,” said a spokesman. “He also gave a firsthand account of the severe economic

Vote approaching on proposed WCS school auditorium, facility upgrades By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — The fond dreams of many local advocates of the performing arts may become a reality if voters of the Warrensburg Central School District approve a capital project referendum set for 7 a.m. to 8p.m. Tuesday March 14. The $11 million capital project, which encompasses hundreds of upgrades, is to be accomplished without impacting local taxes. The work is to be funded 80.4 percent by state education aid, with the local share being drawn from the district’s existing financial reserves. The extensive project calls for upgrades to both the elementary and high schools including replacement or major repair of plumbing, electrical, and security infrastructure as well as heating and air conditioning systems. But the highlight of the $11 million project is the reconstruction of the existing ‘cafetorium’ into an auditorium with tiered seating to host large group and instructional sessions as well as drama and musical performances — a dream of many students and WCS alumni as well as fans of the schools’ acclaimed dramatic arts and choral programs. Since the early 1990s, audiences of such performances have had to endure poor visibility of the stage and inadequate acoustics. Also, the proposed auditorium, complete with air conditioning and padded theaterstyle seating, would be used for graduation ceremonies, enhancing the spectators’ experience dramatically. For generations, WCS graduation ceremonies have been held in one of the school’s
gymnasiums with massive fans — intended to provide cooling — drowning out the speeches and musical selections; with perspiring spectators seated on folding chairs or on bleachers. The $11 million project — the most comprehensive capital improvement effort since the high school was built in 1992 — also calls for creating a new driveway entrance for student drop-offs at the high school to eliminate recurring traffic congestion, as well as installing some new energy efficiency windows as needed. Details of the project were explained Feb. 27 in a public meeting held at the school. One key element of the Warrensburg Central School Superintendent John Goralski (right) and Warrensburg School Board President Doug West (left) project is to construct two discuss details of the proposed capital project to upgrade both the elementary and high schools with new plumbing, heating, secure vestibules — one at lighting and air conditioning infrastructure, relocate and modernize facilities, improve security as well as reconstruct the high each of the school’s main en- school’s existing ‘cafetorium’ into a full-fledged tiered auditorium with theater seating and professional acoustics. To be funded trances — so visitors can be primarily with state aid, the project is planned to have zero impact on local taxes. Photo by Thom Randall screened face-to-face before entry is granted. The schools now have a buzzer with an audio-visual link at each of the entrances. The entrances would also have new locksets and crashbars. A new card-swipe entry system for teachers and staffers is also included in the work. Proposed security measures also include new public address systems in each school with which any of the teachers can declare an lockdown, from any room, in response to an >> See WARRENSBURG | pg. 12

ou may not like working with an eye on the clock, but just about every cell in your body is doing just that. Wes Dingman > Columnist Having all biology attuned to cwdingman@frontiernet.net the motions of the cosmos apparently began with the earliest life forms here on Earth, at least for those first single cells (called cyanobacteria) that used sunlight as their source of energy. Now, nearly all life forms, whether diurnal or nocturnal, whether plant, animal, fungal or bacterial, and whether living in constant light or constant darkness, have built in daily rhythms in their metabolism. It all began with the Earth’s approximately 24 hour day. Most of the more important and complicated metabolic processes such as the transcribing of the genetic code, the translation of this code into specific proteins, and the construction of numerous metabolic products by these proteins, operate on this 24 hour rhythm. In the more complicated organisms, those with brains like humans, there is a part of the brain, called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which helps all the different organs maintain this synchronous activity. This part of the brain lies just above the place where the optic nerves coming from the eyes enter the brain. Thus it is close to those sensory organs (our eyes) that are most aware of the daily cycles between light and dark. For many years we’ve known that damage to this part of the brain causes disturbances in an organism’s ability to maintain its normal diurnal rhythm of activity. This daily rhythm is so strongly embedded in mammals’ physiology that healthy laboratory rodents such as mice will maintain extremely regular alternating hours of sleep and activity whether
was recorded on the 9th. There were 5 days with below zero readings compared to an average of 7. There were 1238.5 degree days bringing our seasonal total to 3976. This means our heating season is about half over, as we average
7,863 degree days per year. Melted precipitation for the month was 2.79 inches, only 0.08 inches below normal. This begins our new season for recording melted precipitation. Precipitation fell on 15 days with the greatest amount, 0.66 inches, falling on the 24th. Snowfall for the month was only 9.8 inches, 8 inches below normal. This brings the seasonal snowfall total to 31.7 inches which is 10.9 inches below normal. If all of the melted precipitation mentioned above, 2.79 inches, had been snow, we would have had nearly 28 inches total snowfall for this month. The river reached its highest level, 4.80 feet on the 15th and its lowest level, 3.81 feet on the 10th.
Notes from Planet Earth
they are kept continuously in either dark or lighted quarters. For organisms living in the vicinity of ocean shores, tidal rhythms constitute another important cosmic force that has led to the evolution of important additional physiologic rhythms in many of these ani-
mals. More recently we’ve learned that nearly all the cells in our bodies contain numerous genes that are important in determining and maintaining the daily rhythms in the cell’s many thousands of different metabolic activities. These genes have become known as the “clock-controlled genes.” As many people have experienced, disruption of our daily metabolic rhythms by disease, toxins, change in one’s working hours from day to night, or as a result of travelling to a significantly different time zone often lead to physiologic disorders. Among the disorders precipitated or aggravated by disruptions of one’s circadian rhythm are diabetes, depression, obesity, gastrointestinal disorders and cardiovascular disorders. Even the beneficial activity or effectiveness of many medications will vary depending on the time of day the medication is taken. Likewise our immune systems consistently vary over a 24 hour period in the effectiveness with which they mount an attack on invading viruses or bacteria. Apparently significant changes in eating times do not directly affect the circadian rhythm of the brain’s metabolic rhythm control center, the SCN, but do disrupt the circadian rhythms of cells in other organs and obesity is a common result of such changes in laboratory animals.

and humanitarian hardships they face,” said Tom Flanagin. The trip is required for new members of the committee. “This trip was an important opportunity for new members of the House Intelligence Committee to highlight the importance of working with our allies in the region and to continue to build on our intelligence sharing capabilities,” Stefanik said in a statement. North Korea tested a ballistic missile on Feb. 12, and has dominated the news this month following the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, the exiled half-brother of Kim Jong Un, at a Malaysian airport. “I am grateful for the many opportunities to meet and thank the men and women in uniform who are downrange, for their service and sacrifice, including many from New York and who had previously been stationed at Fort Drum,” Stefanik said. President Trump has publicly spared with the country’s intelligence community. Trump last week assailed the FBI over leaks of classified information to the media, the latest in a long line of broadsides against the agency stemming from before last November’s election. The most recent criticisms, according to the New York Times, were in response to a report indicating a White House official asked the agency to rebut a report detailing contacts between Trump’s associates and Russian intelligence officials. Those connections, among allegations of Russian interference during the 2016 presidential elections, are the subject of parallel House and Senate intelligence committee investigations.
Asked if Stefanik had concerns over the president’s ongoing war with the country’s intelligence community and the possible international and domestic ramifications, Flanagin responded: “Congresswoman Stefanik has concerns about the purported leaks of classified information over the past several months. She will be working with her colleagues on the House Intelligence Committee in their oversight role to investigate any intelligence or counterintelligence issues involving Russia and follow the facts wherever they lead.” Stefanik cited the East Asia trip, which was scheduled in early January, as the reason why she couldn’t attend a constituent-organized town hall meeting last week in Glens Falls,
which drew 300 constituents. The lawmaker has been criticized by progressive groups for declining to hold town hall meetings. But many Republicans have derided the sessions as unsuitable for fostering productive discourse, citing the supercharged environments at similar meetings held across the country. Flanagin said the lawmaker will continue to hold small group meetings to meet with constituents. “Small group meetings are the best way to allow for candid, constructive dialogue on sensitive issues where constituents feel comfortable sharing their own personal stories with Congresswoman Stefanik,” Flanagin said.
The lawmaker’s office, he said, has scheduled meetings this week with a number of grassroots groups, including Democracy for the Greater Glens Falls Area, the Saratoga Health Care Committee, and the Coalition for Medicare Choices, among other groups. “We will continue to schedule meetings such as these with constituents in all 12 counties of our district,” Flanagin said.

rom our very beginning we’ve always worked under the premise that we were more than just a traditional newspaper. We envisioned our role as an important conduit that drives the local economy and reminds our readers of the importance of community, local accomplishment and the need to remain deeply rooted in the area we serve. Sadly, over the years, many newspapers have lost their community roots as they were bought and sold as a traded commodity and with each exchange doubling down on the revenue they could garner for the new ownership. At least that was the practice until just a few years ago, when the economy hit the skids and like musical chairs, owners were stuck and the only solution to stay financial afloat was to eliminate services, reduce staff and cut overhead. Last week I mentioned some plans in the works to enhance our community news coverage by inviting readers to submit ideas for articles addressing community needs and help direct our focus to stories that might otherwise go uncovered. Here’s a few other things we’re working on that I hope you find of interest. Our editorial and graphic design teams have been putting in extra time working on some new features in the paper to increase our story count and further improve the presentation of the news in the paper. Last fall we introduced a new twice a year magazine called Homegrown, which features local entrepreneurs, agriculturalists, brewers, distillers, and producers of all types of goods, goodies, and products of all sorts. We’re currently putting the final touches on the next edition of Homegrown, so watch for it in the near future at local stores throughout the region. Recently, we awarded over $70,000 in free advertising grants to a number of local nonprofit organizations in order to help them meet their community service missions. Without these valuable volunteer organizations, our communities would be greatly under served. We consider it our responsibility to assist in any way possible. While everyone needs cash, our greatest commodity is our vast distribution network and helping spread the word to those in need. Soon we’ll be introducing yet another free service. Items of $1,000 or less for sale will be available to run free of charge in the Classified section of all the printed editions and on our ever growing web site. As they say: “What comes around, goes around”. All of you have been very generous with your support of your community newspaper and in turn we are doing our best to repay that support whenever possible as our way of saying thank you.

OPINION
Welcome back, Elise. Now here’s some unsolicited advice
R
ep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) is back from East Asia, touching down at just the right moment to survey the scorched national landscape left after a week of town halls. Of course, Stefanik declined to host one in the district, citing the aforementioned House Intelligence Committee trip — where she met with U.S. military brass and a North Korean defector — but also not before she blasted constituents as being disruptive and harassing her staff. The rest, as readers know, is well documented, and the public has since retreated into their partisan corners: Progressive activists will settle at nothing less than Stefanik paying penance for every utterance out of President Trump’s mouth, while Republicans have written the town halls off as empty political theater with seemingly little value. We can appreciate both sides of the debate. Constituents have some extremely valid concerns, especially when it comes to the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and deep funding cuts for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which are widely expected to be included as part of this year’s federal budget proposal. Tens of thousands of constituents in the district receive health care coverage as part of the ACA, and the Adirondack Park is a national treasure, which means any vote that amounts to anything less than full protection of this national resource is tantamount to a severe breach of trust. Constituents deserve to know where their representatives stand on these issues, and not just via sanitized form letters or sunny social media posts. But on the other, we can see how a town hall is like walking into a lion’s den. The tenor on these organizational boards hasn’t exactly been productive — the discussion has ranged from juvenile to downright hostile — and we really can’t blame Stefanik for taking a quick look and saying, “Thanks, but no thanks.” So here’s our unsolicited advice: You’re up against the wall no matter what. No matter how sincere your intentions, anything else but an all-out mea culpa won’t satiate the public outcry. Don’t do that — but also be mindful these grassroots groups are mobilizing and growing stronger by the day.
Your critics, and these groups, are not going away anytime soon. So ditch the reliance on social media posts and form letters for now and start making the media rounds. Explain to reporters where you stand on these issues, and engage in frank discussion. Discuss the committee assignments, and why your work on these might supercede a town hall. Start offering more than just sound bites. And lastly, consider holding a town hall in a controlled environment — like a municipal building. Ask the localities to set some ground rules, like banning signs or other silly theatrics. Or alternatively, you set the ground rules, telling participants to be respectful or they will be asked to leave by deputies. Because, Congresswoman, you really have nothing to worry about: In a more diplomatic time — did those even exist? — we’ve seen you in action at a town hall. You knocked it out of the park, proving yourself to be knowledgeable, prepared and well-versed on the issues, and handled naysayers with tact and ease, disarming even the most angry constituents. So what is there to worry about? As reporters, we’ve learned that whenever people duck you, there’s a good chance that they’re in over their head. But that’s not the case here. Sure, you might take a few knocks, but that’s part of the territory. People will respect you for it. The longer you wait, the harder it’s going to be — especially as shifts in federal policy begin to have real, tangible differences on your constituents’ lives. It’s time for you to be the difference maker. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola. We want to hear from you.

NutritionÊ projectÊ needsÊ freshÊ look To the Editor: Your Feb. 18 issue of the Valley News Sun refreshingly reports a reconsideration of the proposed new construction of a county nutrition building with the focus on cost, primarily. Not so refreshing or encouraging, a second opinion for a solution: that targeting the cooperative Extension Building located in Westport. This historic building, originally built and known as the Junior Achievement Building, has received little maintenance and upgrades throughout the years under government ownership. For a group of people that focus on stewardship, all have failed miserably. We are now led to believe that with new construction to house at least Cooperative Extension and the Nutrition Center, all will be well. I think not. First of all, we would lose a very important part of our history if the plan is indeed, to demolish the Junior Achievement Building and construct another in its place. Second of all, even with a grant, how is it that the county would have room to amortize, service the debt on a new building when it apparently could find none to maintain and upgrade periodically what they have before them? The answer is of course, in part: politicians receive no credit for maintenance, for good stewardship. There are no photo-ops of a plethora of politicians leaning on shovels, nor new projects named for people of prominence. (Although with a little imagination, that could be reversed.) Then there is the carrot of money dangling before their eyes, forgetting that we have long lost our liberty to make out own decisions, instead another larger govern-
ment doing so. People have forgotten the golden rule that the government what gives the gold also makes the rules, thus selling our freedom of choice for a relative few pieces of silver. Add: For those who think we are economically successful, for those who continue to focus on sustainable farming, what ever happened to a focus on a year around sustainable economy, businesses? How pathetic that our little towns cannot provide for themselves, as with out county, meet the needs of the general welfare of the public it serves? How pathetic that those in power are unable to budget in order to take care of all public buildings instead of allowing deterioration? The answer of course will be that we have long ago lost control of out budgets. Most towns, dare I say, have perhaps 15-18 percent of their budget under their option, their control; the consequences of selling their freedom of choice to the state or federal governments for those few pieces of silver. Alas, if unless there is a change of attitude, heart, we are destined to again go down that road, reinforcing the power of others over our communities, our county. We are long overdue to say “no,” to do what we the people of Essex County can afford and pass budgets that show that we are good stewards of what we have, what others of generations ago, passed on to us, that they built with their own work, their own earned money and not that extorted from others. Susan C. Sherman Westport Editor’s note: The editorial did not discuss possible alternative uses for the CCE Building — including its demolition, an idea that has also never been discussed by county officials.
EDITORIAL CARTOON POLICy
Most editorial cartoons these days feed the flames of anger growing in our country. These cartoons do not fairly represent the opinion of this community newspaper.
We believe in respect for each other, the order of law, finding solutions to our problems and most importantly, not taking political sides. Until we can once again laugh at the issues that affect us, in good humor, this newspaper will no longer publish an editorial cartoon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HealthcareÊ anÊ AmericanÊ right To the Editor: Healthcare is an American right no matter what the Republican Party thinks! Republicans seem to feel they have the right plan for you and it is up to you to either pay for a plan or die. Sounds drastic doesn’t it? Well, the plans put forward by Republicans are a life or death matter. One plan put forward is the “tax credit” plan, where one would receive a credit to help pay for a health plan. Only problem here is that there are people who don’t earn enough to receive a tax credit. Another plan is “banking” money to pay for medical help when needed. Only problem here is that there are people who don’t earn enough to put money in the bank! Both plans have high deductibles and no way to pay them. The ACA is a good plan that needs some fixing as all good plans do when they are first laid out. Millions of people have pre-existing conditions with many having life threatening ones. The ACA addresses this and to take it away is a death sentence to hundreds of thousands of Americans. I must ask why can’t legislators tweak the ACA and make it work. Better yet, I ask why can’t we have a single-payer plan covering all Americans like Medicare? Medicare is paid for by those using it in the form of a deduction to their Social Security checks. The average is around $106 per month with the government picking up 80 percent and those receiving it are responsible for 20 percent. It is then up to the individual to buy a supplemental plan to cover the 20 percent or get a Medicare Advantage Plan that takes over the entire cost! This makes the most sense and would cost less in the long run. A simple formula could be worked out for young people, married people and seniors could continue as they are doing. Sounds too good to be true only because Republicans have blinders on. Copy this letter and send it to your representatives and ask that they at least take a look at it. We need to fix this problem without causing pain on Americans and we need to do it quickly. God Bless. Gary Philip Guido Ticonderoga
HoldingÊ StefanikÊ accountable To the Editor: Last week I was surprised to receive a call from Tim Flanagin, the Communications Director for our congresswoman, Elise Stefanik. I really wasn’t expecting a follow up on my request to distinguish her positions from Mr. Trump’s. But I was grateful for the call as I had many questions. He asked that I email them, so I did: Does Ms. Stefanik support the Trump administration on: • Ending the Environmental Impact Study that permitted the resumption of the Dakota Access Pipeline? • Criticizing judges who occasionally rule against the administration? • Denying Chinese access to disputed islands in the South China Sea? If so, would military force be appropriate? • The refusal to release the president’s tax records? • Assertions of widespread voter fraud in New Hampshire? • Stating that most protesters were paid and therefore unrepresentative of public opinion? • Objecting to an agreement to accept refugees being held in Australia? • Putting Iran “on notice” for testing missiles? If so, what intervention would be appropriate? Specifically, would you vote to authorize military force to prevent missile testing? • Building a wall on the Mexican border? • Repealing the Dodd - Frank Act, specifically the fiduciary rule that requires financial planners to act in their clients’ best interest? • Implementing a “gag rule” forbidding foreign health care providers to discuss abortion if their facility receives federal aid? • Repealing the Johnson Amendment, permitting tax exempt organizations, notably churches, to endorse political candidates? • Moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? Does she think expanding Israeli settlements in the West Bank are justified? Does she support classifying the contributions to build settlements as tax-deductible? • Establishing a border adjustment tax on consumer goods with the proceeds earmarked to reduce corporate taxes? Additionally: • What are the details of the replacement health care plan after Obamacare is repealed? • Does Ms. Stefanik support an investigation into Russian government influence in our last election, including Mr. Flynn’s post-election contacts with Russian diplomats?
•
Is Ms. Stefanik comfortable with Mr. Trump’s plan to separate his business interests to address conflicts of interest? • Does she agree with the administration that the media, notably The New York Times, CNN and the Washington Post is very dishonest? • Was she comfortable with all the cabinet nominees, notably Mr. Perry and Mr. Pruitt? The next day, Feb. 17, I received this reply: “Thanks Frank. Congresswoman Stefanik will continue to be an independent voice in Congress working on bipartisan solutions to help North Country families. Last Congress, she was rated the 21st most Independent Member of Congress by Congressional Quarterly. As part of her commitment to transparency, I encourage you to follow her official Facebook page where she posts her legislative votes on the matters that come before Congress.” Not one answer, what a disappointment! Here’s my response: Mr. Flanagin: Thanks for your quick reply — even if it amounts to “no comment.” The congresswoman’s Facebook page, as I’m sure you’re aware, does not address questions I’ve raised. That’s why I asked them. Our exchange may suffice as an op-ed on it’s own, reinforcing an already negative public perception. Disengagement and hoping for the return of voter apathy seems like a risky plan for winning in 2018. My questions remain, ready for answers, if you ever decide to replace that hope with a more proactive strategy. Frank Pagano Jay
ThroughÊ Superbowl,Ê AmericanÊ valuesÊ persevere To the Editor: Kudos to Mr. Dan Alexander for his column published in the Feb. 11 edition. Hats off to him for his poignant, thoughtprovoking editorial on America’s unofficial holiday (Superbowl Sunday). He successfully discovered the American spirit hidden inside this contest of excellence. What really impressed me was his commentary about positive American values inside this athletic contest that have endured throughout our nation’s history. He emphasized how the elements of this spectacular gridiron event was far more important than the outcome. He inspired us to persevere, to hope, to overcome the “impossible” odds and be proud of what America is “supposed” to represent. Hopefully these disappearing or hidden values will reemerge and not lay dormant until the next Superbowl. They need to be a guiding force now and for the next four years. So thank you, Mr. Alexander, for giving America hope. Maybe by the year 2020, the American vision will be 20/20. Maybe then we will truly see the “greatness” of America. Ken Sausa Lake Placid
need of answers are unable to get them. Isn’t it amazing that so many of those doing the demanding in the protests are undocumented, voted against the representative, didn’t vote at all, can’t legally vote or are from outside the district of the representative. How many of these “constituents” visited Stefanik’s mobile district office that travelled her vast district? How many actually reached out for help before moveon.org organized the yelling? Also amazing is that these same activists say many of the cabinet choices are unqualified for the job. Yet they swear by everything the Hollywood actors and musical performers have to say, amazingly, they must be qualified. Not! Amazing that enhanced screening, stopping illegals from entering, taking a harder look at our laws on immigration is called un-American yet President Barack Obama and his five presidential predecessors have used their executive powers to temporarily ban certain immigrants, including Muslims, from entering the United States. Amazing, Republicans had eight years to draft Obamacare changes but are not ready. Just as amazing is the protests about subjects that the Republicans have yet to enact change to. Not my President Day was amazing with so many protestors that didn’t or couldn’t legally vote. If you did vote, I got news for you: he is your President. Win Belanger Willsboro
AlternativeÊ factsÊ andÊ fakeÊ news To the Editor: When I am accused of listening to just “one-sided media” it gives me pause. That is probably correct: I read and listen only to certain media outlets — the ones I trust, the ones I think will give me the facts, with occasional commentary from people I respect. I suspect most of us do this. When I am told that there are “alternative facts” within the media to the ones that I am hearing, I wonder, “Are there lots of alternative facts? Do we get to choose?” When I am told that what I read is “fake news,” I wonder: is it fake because it is actually presenting “alternative facts” in collaboration with other media to deceive the public? Or is it fake because it is not really “news?” Or is it fake because it actually doesn’t come from a “real” news outlet? Or is it fake because someone doesn’t really want to hear what it says? But when I am told that the media is the enemy of the people, I do not pause and I do not wonder. A line is crossed. As Americans, we are taught early on in school that journalists play an essential role in a democracy, monitoring, on our behalf, the people we have elected and the governmental process. A certain amount of partisanship is inevitable, but the best ones strive to be objective. They work for us. To call them the enemy implies that the people are the enemy. That frightens me a lot.

Local restaurants and eateries donated homemade soups, breads and desserts. Board members and community members cooked, set up, cleaned up and volunteered at the event.

AmazedÊ atÊ StefanikÊ protestors To the Editor: It always amazes me that those who demand Town Hall meetings do not consider Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has scheduled meetings months in advance. Amazing how those same people can’t be courteous by setting an appointment. Amazing that only protesting and yelling in groups has become the norm for some people. It amazes me that the news media finds fault with not holding town hall meetings because when one does, we only hear of the audience shouting that person down or heckling them until those in

Thurman Maple Days start next weekend with Jack Wax Party Party set for March 11 By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
THURMAN — With the sap in maple trees across the southern Adirondacks beginning to run, sugar-bush owners are firing up their evaporators to produce maple syrup — just in time for Thurman Maple Days. This annual celebration of rural culture that showcases ageold local traditions begins Saturday March 11 and Sunday March 12 and continues over the next two weekends. The early arrival of warm weather this year has resulted in a heavy flow of sap, and maple producers in Thurman have been working around the clock to keep up with the bounty. The debut of the 2017 edition of Maple Days coincides with the annual Jack Wax Party, which is a rural buffet community dinner set for March 11 beginning at 4 p.m. — a social meal that raises money for the American Cancer Society. The dinner is topped off with the centuries-old tradition of Jack Wax, or maple syrup ladled on shaved ice, which gives the savory syrup a taffy-like consistency. The event is a beloved local tradition that harks back to the 1930s and draws
people from all over the northeast U.S.. The Jack Wax Party features mountain music performed all afternoon by the Warren County Ramblers. Over all three weekends, various sugar houses — Hidden Hollow, Valley Road, Adirondack Gold and Toad Hill maple farms will be holding open houses, where maple products as well as tours and talks will be offered. Nettle Meadow Farm is a prime destination during the fest, featuring samplings of their renowned award-winning cheeses and people can interact with their herd of goats on their traditional farm where animals are treated with remarkable love and care. There’s also the Peru Llama Farm where children can encounter and feed curious, friendly well-tended llamas. Valley Road Maple Farm will be featuring pancake breakfasts with all the fixings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday over the three weekends. Martin’s Lumber is holding an open house, featuring their maple slabs, wooden wares and interactive craft demonstrations — plus they will be showcasing Wini Martin’s craftworks. Perky Granger, publicist for Thurman Days and one of the new organizers of the Jack Wax Party extends a warm wel-
come to all folks to partake in the various activities of Thurman Maple Days. “Come up to Thurman and enjoy the scenery and experience our way of life,” she said. For details, hours and directions, see: www.ThurmanMapleDays.com

emergency. This upgrade is a current recommendation of the state Police. Failing galvanized plumbing in the elementary school and aging bathroom fixtures would also be replaced. Modern water coolers would also be installed in both schools. An array of upgrades to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act are also part of the plan. The project also includes installing LED lighting, which would save the taxpayers thousands of dollars annually in electricity costs, school officials said. The high school cafeteria would be relocated to the northeast wing of the existing building, replacing one technology room and the existing athletic weight room. The school’s existing kitchen would remain in place, with some rearrangement of its equipment and layout. The weight room would be resituated to be adjacent to the other athletic facilities, occupying an area where the library stacks now exist. The library would be extended west into an

Gymnasium bleachers would also be replaced., as the existing ones aren’t functioning well, WCS Superintendent John Goralski said. Goralski said the facility upgrades were vital to meet the existing and future needs of the school district. “Our students and community deserve to have an up-to-date facility,” he said. “This project will bring the facilities up to the safety and educational standards of the 21st century.” Warrensburg School Board president Doug West echoed the point. “The project offers a great opportunity and the time is right,” he said, noting the project’s zero tax impact.

Coaches:Ê LocalÊ wrestlersÊ inÊ stateÊ tourneyÊ areÊ roleÊ modelsÊ forÊ teammates By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Five area athletes competed in the state wrestling tournament last weekend, and they are being hailed by their coaches as admirable role models for other athletes in the region as well as in their respective schools. Hadley-Luzerne/Lake George senior Jason Hoffman, a four-time place-earner in the state tournament over his outstanding high school career, placed second in the 2017 tournament. Three others from the WarEagles — Junior Mike Sutliffe, Senior Gideon Jardine and Sophomore Cody York — competed in the 2017 tournament, as did one wrestler from Warrensburg— Junior Jack Binder. The WarEagles sent the most wrestlers to the state tourney of any team in Section II. Hoffman, the third seed at 170 pounds, won his first match on Feb. 24. He defeated Micah Miller of Maine-Endwell High in a 7-5 decision, then hours later won a 6-4 decision over Trevor Snow General Brown High School in the quarterfinals. On Feb 25, Hoffman wowed the crowd and surprised his opponent No. 2 seed Shawn Mosca of Carle Place-Wheatley High by pinning him from a defensive position 2:45 into the semifinal match. Later on, Hoffman lost his finals match to Matt Gaiser of Alexander High, seeded No. 1 in the weight class, by a pin 1:52 into the match. Since he was a freshman, Hoffman has finished third, fourth and twice at second place over his high school years. This year, he rebounded from an offseason injury — with a broken leg and knee surgery — Hadley-Luzerne/Lake George senior Jason Hoffman, pictured above, placed second in the 2017 tournament. but resumed his career which took him Photo by Keith Lobdell into the state finals.

Cougars,Ê WarriorsÊ andÊ EaglesÊ advanceÊ inÊ SectionÊ IIÊ tourney By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARREN COUNTY — The girls basketball teams of North Warren and Lake George high schools advanced into the Section II semifinals as they each won their initial games of the regional tournament. Warrensburg’s team won their opening tourney game but lost their quarterfinal, ending their 2017 campaign. Competing in Class D as were the Burghers, North Warren handily beat St. Johnsville on Feb. 24 by a score of 79-58 for their quarterfinal win. The Cougars began their game with a stunning offensive onslaught, scoring 27 points to St. Johnsville’s 9 during the first quarter. St. Johnsville (8-9) rallied for a 19-11 second quarter in their favor, but the Cougars responded with a 27-13 third-stanza rally to put the game out of reach. The Cougars’ 13 three-point baskets, along with their aggressive drives into the paint, were high points of their offensive show. Madasyn Bush was high scorer with 20 points; Sydney Gagnon followed with 19. Hannah Kenney was not far behind with 16 points. Alyssa Dewar and Sarah Stewart each contributed 8 points. Alyssa Kramar scored 6 and Eliza Brown added 2 points. For St. Johnsville, Merari Freeman was top scorer with 19 points. If the Cougars defeat Fort Ann in the semis Wednesday, they will advance to the championship game to be played against the winner of the Argyle-Heatly semifinal, a showdown set for 11 a.m. Saturday March 4 in the Hudson Valley Community College gymnasium in Troy. Sydney Gagnon said she and her teammates were working really hard to prepare for the remaining Sectional games. “We are all ready to play some Cougar basketball — Like always!” she said.
Warriors cruise into semis Lake George played two games this last week to advance to the Section II Class C semifinals. Feb. 24, the Warriors upset Middleburgh 72-48; and three days earlier, they beat Galway 57-48 despite strong rebounding by the Golden Eagles.
Against Middleburgh (18-3) — the No. 3 seed in Class C — Lacey Cormie had an outstanding game. Cormie, Lake George’s all-time top three-point shooter in girls basketball, was high scorer with 30 points, sinking 6 three-pointers. She was followed by Graceann Bennett with 19 points, Alauna Wright with 9, Rachel Shambo with 6, Nikki Hladik with 4 plus Sam Jeckel and Mikayla Duffy with 2 points each. Lindsey McCoy was high scorer for Middleburgh with 23 points. Against Galway in the opening round, Graceann Bennett held her traditional role as top scorer, tallying the game-high 28 points along with 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Lacey Cormie and Nikki Hladik followed with 9 points each, with Cormie providing four assists and Hladik grabbing 8 rebounds. Alauna Wright added 8 points and 2 assists, while Rachel Shambo contributed 2 points and 6 rebounds — and Ava Pushor hit a foul shot. For Galway, 12-7 for the season, Ashlyn O’Neil was top scorer with 15 points. Monday, Lacey Cormie offered her thoughts on her team’s post-season play. “At this point, we are working harder and we want it (the Section II championship) more than ever. We knew that being ranked No. 6 seed, we’d have to get through teams ranked higher, but we work harder than anyone to face those challenges,” she said. “Now, it’s all about heard and we have a lot of it, so I think we are ready for anything!”
Warrensburg splits tourney games Warrensburg won the opening round of Sectionals Feb. 21 edging out Mayfield by a score of 44-39. Sophomore Megan Hughes led the Burghers with 18 points and 12 rebounds, followed by Britanny Frasier with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Freshman point guard Hope Boland scored 9 points, and Heather Wood added 3. Dianne Curtis scored 2 points, plus Zoe Morgan and Madison Sheridan contributed 1 each. Starr Hughes grabbed 6 rebounds. For Mayfield, Sydney Sheldon was top scorer with 19 points. On Feb. 24, the Burghers’ season ended with a 43-51 loss to Berne-Knox (18-4) in the Class C quarterfinal, which featured a 12-8 rally in the third quarter which didn’t offset the 30-21 first-half Berne-Knox lead. For the game, Megan Hughes scored 19 points, followed by Britanny Frasier’s 10 and Hope Boland’s 7 points. Zoe Mor-
gan added 3 points, with Starr Hughes and Kayla Raymond adding 2 each. For Berne-Knox, Monique Britton scored 119 points and Taylor Meacham followed with 17. Britanny Frasier, a Senior who is expected to soon sign a letter of commitment to Green Mountain College, offered her thoughts Monday about the 2016-17 season. “We really connected not just as a team but as a family,” she said. “We might have lost the quarterfinal, but I couldn’t have asked for a better senior season than this year with the group of girls I played with. We all worked our hardest and played great as a team. The younger girls really showed their colors — and everyone played with heart!”
Bolton 56, Griffins 55 WESTPORT — For the second time in two Fridays, the Lady Griffins fell in a one-point contest against the two cochampions of the southern division. Kate VanAuken led the Lady Eagles with 17 points, while Maria Baker scored seven of her 15 points in the fourth quarter of play. Maddy Pratt, who scored 14 points, connected on a pair of free throws late to seal the victory, while Caitlyn Johnson added 10 points. “It was intense,” Johnson said. “It was a battle throughout the entire game. They played very well. We wanted to come out and show what we were made of even with a rough start to the year.” “It was definitely a team effort,” Pratt said. “We knew from the beginning that it wasn’t going to be only one person scoring. Nobody was going to be the star player. We had to score and play as a team.” Bolton head coach Luke Schweickert said he gave credit to a team of young players who matured quickly, also having seen success as members of the final four soccer team for Bolton. “We brought them up, not only for necessity, but for their abilities,” he said. “These kids kept coming everyday, even over break. This was the first time I didn’t have girls sulking saying they would rather be at my boyfriends or going skiing. I had to kick them out of the gym. It was a testament how hard they played tonight.”
Lake George advances to Class C semifinals; NW almost beats Argyle By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Boys Basketball team won two games in the Section II Class C tournament this last week, earning a berth in the semifinals after a 65-46 victory over Schoharie on Feb. 24. The quarterfinal game started off with a 15-3 scoring rampage by the Warriors, and their lead was widened with their 18-11 third quarter. Teamwork and a balanced scoring attack by Lake George, now 17-5, made the difference in the game. While Schoharie depended on top scorer Mitch Barton to secure the largest share of their points, all Warriors made substantial contributions. Mason Flatley lead Lake George with 16 points and 8 rebounds, followed by Caleb Scrime with 15 points and 9 rebounds. Shooting point guard Alex Jones was next with 13 points and 6 assists. Scott McLaughlin added 10 points. Kaleb Helms added 6 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Nick Ure contributed 3 points and Zeke Reynolds tallied 2 points and 6 assists. The victory puts Lake George in the Class C semifinals against Granville, 7:30 p.m. Thursday March 2 at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The winner of that game will advance to
the Class C championship game, to be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, also in the civic center. Three days earlier, Lake George beat Cambridge 65-39 in the opening round of the tournament. Their victory featured hot shooting from behind the arc. A total of 11 three-point shots were sunk by the Warriors. Caleb Scrime was the game’s high scorer with 20 points, including 3 three-point shots, plus 9 rebounds. Mason Flatley added 16 points, with 4 from downtown, and point guard Alex Jones contributed 18 points including 2 treys, plus 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Nick Ure added 2 three-point shots. Ian Devlin contributed 3 points and Zeke Reynolds did his part with 2 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Shawn Lemieux lead Cambridge with 12 points.
North Warren splits tourney games North Warren opened their sectional play Feb. 21 with a 65-61 win over New Lebanon but endured a loss four days later. They earned their early-tournament victory by surging to the lead with a 17-11 third quarter and then staving off a New Lebanon comeback in the game’s final seconds with some dramatic action. With the Cougars trailing by one point with 21 seconds left in the game, Stephen Monroe hit a 3-point shot with which
his team regained a two-point lead. Seconds later, he grabbed a vital rebound after a New Lebanon shot, and Hayden Smith’s basket in the final seconds sealed the win. Against New Lebanon, Hayden Smith was high scorer for the Cougars with 18 points. Stephen Monroe followed with 12 points, including 4 three-pointers. Patrick Terry scored 11 points, and Joe Sapienza tallied 9 including 2 treys. Jack Buckman contributed 6 points; Joe Phelps scored 5; and Jesse Schwarz added 4 in the balanced scoring attack. Clayton Erickson of New Lebanon scored a game-high 21 points. In the game against Argyle held Feb. 25 in Stillwater, the Scots dampened the Cougars’ offense as well as their tourney Class D title hopes, defeating North Warren 73-54 on the back of Adirondack League All-Star Kobe Lufkin’s 32 points. The Warriors put up a formidable fight, containing the Scots and maintaining a lead for the first three quarters. At the beginning of the last stanza, North Warren lead 42-40, but the Scots poured in 33 points in the last 8 minutes to win the game. For the Cougars, Hayden Smith was top scorer with 18 points. Steven Monroe followed with 11 points, along with jack Buckman’s 10. Patrick Terry scored 9 points, followed by Joe Sapienza with 4 and Joe Phelps with 2.
