Essex County district attorney to seek third term Kristy Sprague, first elected in 2009, cites strong prosecution record, fiscal restraint as she seeks a third four-year term

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague has announced she is running for a third term as the county’s top law enforcement official.

“It is my desire to once again seek re-election to this very honorable position,” Sprague said in a letter to constituents.

Sprague was expected to formally make the announcement at the Mirror Lake Inn Resort in Lake Placid Thursday night, after this edition went to print.

The district attorney cited the county’s top issues as the opiate crisis, domestic violence and child abuse prevention.

Since taking office in 2009, Sprague has played central roles in the creation of the Essex County Veterans Court, the Essex County Heroin and Opioid Prevention Coalition and the Child Advocacy Program in Clinton County.

If re-elected, Sprague said that advocacy will continue.

Combating animal cruelty cases is also a chief concern, she said.

Sprague has never lost a felony trial.

“My felony trial conviction rate continues to remain at 100 percent, since as a team, we have received guilty verdicts on the top counts in every one of the county level trials in the past seven years,” Sprague said.

Sprague also said she will continue to be tough on pros-

ecuting DWIs. “The DWI Victim Impact Panel I developed in my first term continues to provide not only an additional punishment to offenders, but a critical educational component,” Sprague said.

Sprague previously spent 19 years as a career prosecutor.

That experience, she said, has allowed her to successfully prosecute drug offenders, DWI cases, sexual offenders, child abusers, animal abusers, domestic violence perpetrators and murderers. >> See SPRAGUE | pg. 13

Geraghty briefs board on sewer, consolidation proposals Warrensburg leader is not a fan of Gov. Cuomo’s consolidation proposal

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Local businesses are continuing to express interest in hooking up to a new municipal sewer system.

The Warrensburg Town Board received an inquiry from Warrensburg Travel Trailer Park about connecting to the sewer line soon to be constructed this year along Schroon River Road/Horicon Avenue.

Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said the town’s engineer would review the request and contact the Travel Park’s engineer.

The new line is to be extended northward to Countryside Adult Home and Cornell Cooperative Extension headquarters on Schroon River Road.

The project is funded primarily with a $400,000 grant, and construction work is likely to begin within two months, Geraghty said.

GERAGHTY: NO TO CONSOLIDATION PROPOSAL In a statement to the public, Geraghty said he was opposed to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s

proposal to have every locality in the state hold a referendum on shared services or consolidation — and to block state aid to municipalities that don’t enact new shared services or consolidate.

The proposal was presented in the governor’s 2017-18 proposed budget.

Geraghty noted that the town is already sharing the services of its assessor with neighboring Chestertown, and is sharing its bookkeeper with the town of Horicon.

He added that the town is also collaborating with Warren County on purchasing supplies, materials as well as working together on numerous public works projects.

Conducting a referendum, said the supervisor, was a waste of time and money — however, he said he’d welcome any ideas from residents about further shared services.

Geraghty also aired criticism about how Cuomo is bearing down on local governments, rather than concentrating on reducing the waste in state government and eliminating state legislative mandates that are a heavy financial burden on counties, towns and other local municipalities.

“We are elected by the people in this room and the town, and I think we run a very effective government,” Geraghty said, suggesting that Gov. Cuomo consider boosting aid to local municipalities to deal with state mandates. He noted that Warrensburg received merely $19,970 in general state aid for 2016.

Board members read a response from the town attorney to a complaint voiced by a local citizen about the annoying loud noise of large trucks using their engine brakes when traveling down Main Street.

The attorney’s letter noted that Main Street is a state highway, and the state Department of Transportation rarely approves prohibi-

tions of the use of engine brakes on their roadways.

IN OTHER NEWS Geraghty also voiced a reminder to all town residents that starting this summer, they must dial an area code with each phone number, even if it is a local call, due to a new area code being associated to new numbers assigned beginning in August.

A request for $4,037 in occupancy tax funds from the Warrensburgh Historical Society was approved by the board. The money is to support their advertising of the Warrensburg Museum of Local History.

An inquiry from a town resident to convert Park Avenue downtown to a one-way street going north was discussed. Geraghty pledged that the board would evaluate the feasibility of the request.

Also, board members scheduled a papershredding event to be held Sept. 16 so residents and businesses can have their financial records and other private documents shredded at no charge. The board decided the service would be open to citizens of all area communities, not just Warrensburg.

Additionally, the board approved purchasing Christmas decorations for the town’s use, to be paid for with about $3,400 of occupancy tax funds.

Warrrensburg Resident William Mahar requested that a revision be made to the minutes of the December 28 town board meeting, noting that it important that the official record be accurate. His request was granted.

ABOVE: Warrensburgh Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said he was opposed to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposal to have every locality in the state hold a referendum this fall on shared services or consolidation.

Irish-themed festival this weekend in Lake George Popular event to concide with Nor’easter

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — The wacky winter weather this year in upstate New York may benefit this weekend’s Sham-Rock the Block party in Lake George, event organizer Linda Duffy said March 13.

Since thousands of people in the Capital Region skipped Albany’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade due to wind-chill temperatures nearing zero, they may show up instead for Lake George’s Irish-themed festivities instead, she said.

“Considering that forecasts call for 40-degree weather, we may have a new influx of people attending this year to celebrate all things Irish,” she said.

Sham-Rock the Block celebration is to be held primarily on Saturday March 18 and Sunday March 19 on Amherst St., with Irish food music to be also be available on Friday evening March 17.

The weekend features a St. Patrick’s Day parade, a deep lineup of entertainment, an outdoor beer garden and an array of Irish food and games for both adults and children.

Music is continuous on both days, well into the evening hours.

The street will be blocked off for the crowd to enjoy the music and food and socializing outdoors, but if the weather doesn’t live up to expectations, the festivities will move inside Duffy’s Tavern.

Irish food to be available Saturday and Sunday includes Reuben sandwiches, Irish stew, and Irish sausages, as well as American favorites. Over all three days, the traditional Irish corned beef and cabbage dinners will be available as the supply lasts.

Lake George Village’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held Saturday March 18, with the procession beginning at 1 p.m.,

heading west on Beach Road then north on Canada St.. The parade has 30 units, featuring three Irish marching bands.

Children’s activities include pony rides from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, bounce houses during daytime Saturday and Sunday, and a scavenger hunt Sunday at 2 p.m..

Human foosball games, with participants of various ages engaged in the life-size sport, are to occur beginning at noon both days.

The ever-popular keg-tossing contest is to be held Saturday at 2 p.m., and an adult scavenger hunt is scheduled for Saturday at 4 p.m..

Friday’s musical lineup features Johnny Eisenhart from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.; and the band

Hell Cat Maggie from 8 p.m. until midnight.

Saturday’s entertainment roster features the Stout Boys from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; McGroovin’ from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., and the Wild Irish Acres Step Dancers beginning at 6:30 p.m.. The evening is topped off with the public involved in karaoke from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m..

On Sunday, the Robert Stump Duo is to perform from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m.

Hundreds of partiers annually attend the celebration that for a half-dozen years has heralded the approach of spring for people in central New York.

Duffy said the recent cold, stormy weather might scare off some people, but it’s is expect-

ed to clear up before the weekend.

“Sham-Rock the Block offers a great opportunity for people to get out and enjoy Irish traditions,” she said.

For details, call Linda Duffy at 361-2559 or Duffy’s Tavern at 668-5323.

ABOVE: People socialize on Amherst St. during a recent year’s Sham-Rock the Block event in Lake George Village. This year’s edition of the Irish festival is set for Friday March 17 through Sunday March 19 with Gaelic beverages, food, socializing, and games including a human foosball tournament.

The Village’s annual St. Patrick’s parade is to be held Sunday beginning at 1 p.m.

Three for two Lk. George WCS athletes hailed by Warrensburg leaders

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Voters will choose who will fill two open seats on the Lake George Village Board in an election set for Tuesday March 21. The election to be held in the village office and polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m..

Two incumbent board members and one challenger are vying for the two posts which have four-year terms.

Trustees Joseph Mastrodomenico Jr. and John Root are joined in the race by Ron Mogren, presently chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Root was appointed to the

board in 2002 to fill a vacancy, then he was elected to a four-year seat in 2003.

In 2007, Ross and John Earl both ran for a seat, and they tied, but Root lost a coin toss they staged to determine who would take on the post.

Root then ran for another open seat in 2009, and voters elected him back to the post.

He has served continuously since then.

Mastrodomenico has served as trustee since 2009.

Mogren ran unsuccessfully for a trustee seat in 2015, in an election won by incumbents Ray Perry and John Earl. The term of Mayor Robert Blais continues through 2019.

New this year is the dis-

continuation of health benefits for new elected officials of the village — unless they opt to pay the full premium.

On the day before the election, March 20. The village board will convene for their regular monthly meeting, which will feature public hearings on three proposed local laws — one eliminating parking on the south side of Sewell Street from Canada Street to the Village/Town line; a second one increasing docking fees from $2 to $3 per hour on village docks; and a third that provides for some new parking spaces, siting of recharging stations for electric vehicles, and increases of parking fees in certain areas.

Wrestlers met with standing ovation following pair of championships

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Two of the local high school sports teams were lauded by the Warrensburg Town board at its March. 8 meeting.

The Warrensburg Central School Wrestling team was greeted with a standing ovation by a crowd of about 30 citizens for accomplishing its recent “trifecta” of 2017 team championships — the Adirondack League Championship, the Section II Class D Championship and the Section II Division II Championship among 34 schools— a first-ever accomplishment for Warrensburg Central.

In heralding the school’s wrestling program, town supervisor Kevin Geraghty also praised WCS junior Jack Binder for being chosen to compete in the state wrestling tournament in the 220-pound weight class.

Also, the town board commended wrestling coach Mark Trapasso for being named Section II Division 2 Coach of the Year, and for Scott McKenna earning the same award for his work at the junior varsity level. McKenna also serves as an assistant coach for the varsity squad.

After Trapasso introduced the team members, Geraghty praised the wrestlers’ parents for their ongoing support of the team.

The Town Board also recognized the Warrensburg Varsity Girls Basketball Team for finishing first in the Adirondack League Division II this year, and for advancing in the recent Section II tournament.

arlier this week the country celebrated Freedom of Information Day. Freedom of Information Day is dedicated to the concept that our government, of the people and for the people, would withhold no secrets from the people it serves.

Enacted on July 4, 1966 the Freedom of Information Act declared that every person has the right to obtain information from government records that are not protected by one of the nine exemptions, or special law enforcement record exclusions.

This Act put into law the concepts held so dearly

by James Madison, fourth president of the United States and known as the “Father of the Constitution” for drafting the United States Constitution and the United States Bill of Rights.

In his day, he was the loudest voice for true government transparency. His firm belief was the only way the newly formed nation would survive well into the future was through an open government.

Political correctness, media bias, political rivalries, out of control campaign funding, news organizations treating news as entertainment, and corporate holding companies destroying many long standing institutions in the name of profitable bottom lines have blurred the lines. All these and more are deteriorating the faith of the citizens in the information they receive. Replacing faith and trust in our government institutions is a culture of cynicism and doubt.

Large corporations learned long ago there is money in the news and with money comes corruption and greed. While none of us are immune to those vices, local control provides certain safe guards to readers not readily available when dealing with mega corporations. Voices on issues of local interest are more likely to be heard and taken seriously when the ownership has local roots.

Free delivery goes to the heart of Madison’s concerns. By insuring the newspaper is delivered to the people for no monetary requirement, it insures access to information for all, rich and poor alike as was the purpose of the Act insuring that every citizen had equal access to information.

OPINION

Shining a light on open government

I

t’s Sunshine Week, the annual celebration designed to shine a light on the importance of a free press, transparency and open government.

These principles, ordinarily fragile, appear to be under a darker cloud more than ever given the national political climate, where the freedom of speech is under assault from a hostile presidential administration.

The White House’s war on the press is dangerous for a few obvious reasons, namely because it is an attack on the very fabric of this country, and the inalienable concept of keeping government accountable to all people — not just a select few.

But even more alarming is the inversion of truth and falsehood: The president has successfully taken a phrase initially applied to junk websites run by teenagers out of Macedonian garages — “fake news” — and flipped it.

Now it’s become commonplace to blurt out the phrase when faced with any unfavorable coverage.

We cringe every time we hear “fake news” being tossed around by all credible people. It’s immature, a poor representation of someone from whom we should expect more, and acts as a jarring illustration as to how quickly our country has raced to the bottom when it comes to political discourse.

It is inevitable that this playbook — ridiculing your opponents and deflecting criticism — will trickle down to the local level as it becomes a more effective way to parry attacks and split the atom of political support into opposing corners.

It’s a contagious trend, and one just as appealing, and good for the country, as a case of malaria.

In the latest round of seemingly neverending controversy, crusading U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara was sacked last weekend by President Trump after he refused to resign, part of a regular changing of the guard between administrations.

Some call Bharara’s refusal to resign grandstanding, others call it noble.

The truth is likely somewhere in the middle. But whichever side you fall on, Bharara was a well-respected public servant who embodied the best elements of the American legal system — hard, steely-eyed and impartial justice.

In a state plagued by ethical scandals, it’s tough to overstate the impact Bharara had in rooting out systemic rot.

The attorney took down two of New York’s top three leaders, and launched probes of numerous more — including members of the governor’s inner circle and an ongoing investigation into New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio’s fundraising operation.

In an era where corruption reigns supreme — and Wall Street is exerting influence over a presidential cabinet like never before — someone like Bharara’s presence has never been more needed.

Bharara gave the keynote at the New York Press Association’s annual conference last year.

Speaking to a roomful of local reporters in Saratoga Springs, Bharara said they were on the frontlines of rooting out malfeasance.

The rock star attorney, himself a student reporter, said he lamented the downsizing of local media, and noted the feds often rely on local press when identifying potential wrongdoing.

“Every time the press has to downsize, opportunities to ferret out fraud, and to find the bad guys are lost, and I don’t like that at all,” he said.

He’s right. While the New York Times and Washington Post have expanded their news teams in this post truth-era — and while cable news, whose role has played center stage in fostering a sense of divisiveness in this country, has blossomed — local media continues to hang on for dear life.

We’ve found that what tends to be sacrificed on the altar of the overheated national rhetoric are the small things — the issues discussed by local government that actually have arguably a bigger impact on your local life.

These are issues like assessments and why your property values have skyrocketed with seemingly no reason.

They’re the reports that dig into and explore potential government failings, like how society’s most vulnerable residents are allowed to get nearly devoured by rats despite county oversight.

It’s how the water supply of a village was contaminated with carcinogens by a plastics company.

It’s why the home health care aides of the poor are being taken away, how a mausoleum was left to be abandoned by a local nonprofit, leaving residents in grief — or which extracurricular programs are on the chopping block at your kid’s school this year.

Like Bharara said: “No case is too small if it has an impact on ordinary people who are suffering and faced with the consequences of bad behavior.”

We see ourselves as guardians of that.

In this sense, Sunshine Week isn’t a just way for reporters to tout how useful they are, but also serves as reminder that there is a real, tangible resource and value in serving the community — especially the most vulnerable and overlooked.

We’ve always encouraged people to stay informed; to challenge their local leaders, or otherwise serve their communities.

Key in that is supporting your local newspapers. Because once that candle is snuffed out, it’s going to be extremely hard to reignite— and those lights are needed now more than ever.

Strength,Ê resilienceÊ andÊ justiceÊ themesÊ of Ê NationalÊ CrimeÊ VictimsÕÊ RightsÊ Week To the Editor: Every April the Office for Victims of Crime designates a week as National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. This year it will be April 2-8 and the theme chosen is “Strength, Resilience and Justice.”

In a rural community such as ours, crime seems far away, but in fact last year there were over 1,348 domestic incident reports made to law enforcement agencies in the Essex, Clinton and Franklin county area.

This statistic does not include the many incidents that go unreported.

The Essex County Task Force Against Domestic Violence wants to not only call awareness to these issues, but also share a little bit of history about the task force and remind folks about local resources they can utilize should they become a victim of a crime or know someone who is.

In 1999, using the Violence Against Women Act funds from the Department of Criminal Justice Services, the Essex County Task Force Against Domestic Violence was formed and began having monthly meetings at the Hand House in Elizabethtown.

These meetings are open to the public for various community stakeholders to gather and work together to coordinate a response to combat domestic violence in our community.

The mission of the task force is to promote education and awareness to all community members, to include the criminal justice system and service providers and to coordinate a community response to domestic violence that will consistently hold offenders accountable, promote victim safety and reduce violence in the home.

These meetings continue to be held monthly at the Hand House in Elizabethtown on the first Tuesday of each month at 2 p.m. and all are welcome.

Some area resources available to residents of Essex County who finds themselves a victim include: STOP Domestic Violence: 1-888-563-6904 Sexual Assault Services: 1-877-212-2323 Each of these programs is free to use, has a physical presence in Essex, Clinton and Franklin counties, provides a 24 hour confidential hotline with an array of services to support victims impacted by a broad range of criminal acts.

Throughout the month of April and beyond, the task force stands united with their community to support all victims of crime and work towards a day when justice is obtained for one and all.

‘America first’ attitude is wrong To the Editor: We live in a world economy where goods and services are exchanged for the mutual benefit of all participating countries. Our country’s economy is the largest in the world and we are involved in multiple international trade agreements. Beyond the goods and services exchanged we benefit through the creation of jobs for our people. An example of this is the auto industry where foreign cars and auto parts are made and/or assembled here — by American workers. Conversely, some American cars are made in other countries, and sold here by American dealers.

A sheltered economy that exists only within our borders will be counterproductive to our continued success. If we adapt this position we will relinquish our power and leadership on the world stage. It will not only diminish us but it will encourage our current trade partners to seek their economic aspirations from other countries.

History shows that countries that adapt economic and political isolation fail. We need each other. If we close our doors, build walls, use bully tactics we could fall in to a downward slide away from our greatness, towards mediocrity and eventually slip into a third world status.

Immigration policies that stress the “America first” concepts will reduce the source of our traditional strength. History also bears this out. Many of our greatest scientists, educators, writers, researchers, artists, poets, skilled artisans, military leaders, social leaders, political leaders and other hard workers like the rest of us came to our country as immigrants. Most of us are the children of immigrants.

The multiculturalism of our population defines us as Americans. The concept of America first, as it is presently used to exclude new arrivals, hamper free trade and nationalize job status is un-American.

Our present administration is fostering a regressive immigration direction wherein we may also be relinquishing our world leadership position through negative attitudes expressed to our colleagues from other countries. When Nikki Haley, our representative to the United Nations, introduced herself at the UN forum with a scolding, threatening, paranoid (and disgusting) statement that “you are not paying your fair share” — we lose.

Our total foreign aid is less that 1 percent of our GDP. Why then would we unleash bully tactics like this on other countries? True leaders do not dictate or denigrate — they enable.

While our 22 percent contribution to the United Nations is larger than the other countries’, it pales in comparison to the multiple billions of dollars that would be wasted on a planned wall to keep our neighbors out. A wall that will eventually be torn down by Americans devoid of anger, hate and fear. We can afford the UN costs which help to unite us. We can not afford a wall which will divide us.

From the world’s prospective, the people of all nations need each other.

While some nation governments’ values and activities may not be acceptable to us, we must lead by providing an example of international cooperation and goodwill.

Congrats to Willsboro Rifle Team To the Editor: Congratulations to the Willsboro Warriors Rifle Team and coaches Flynn and Oliver for the successful completion of their first season and competition at the United States Military Academy at West Point!

A round of applause should be extended to Coaches Charmaine Flynn and John Oliver for their tireless efforts and hours of time expended to in order to research the possibilities and successfully bring this sport to the students of the Willsboro Central School District. A sincere thank you should also be given to the Willsboro Central School Board and Administration; without their forward thinking and support, this incredible opportunity could not have been afforded to the students who participated.

Finally, a thumbs up to the members of the Willsboro Fish & Game Club for the use of their indoor small bore range facilities and unqualified support of the Willsboro Warrior Rifle Team and their coaches. It is only through the efforts and contributions of the above mentioned individuals and those who have been unnamed that the shooting sports can continue to grow and prosper especially given the political climate in New York state.

ImpressedÊ withÊ WilmingtonÊ Rescue,Ê DECÊ rangers To the Editor: As a member of Wilmington Volunteer Fire & Rescue, I was recently involved in two incidents where hikers were seriously injured on the Whiteface Mountain Memorial Highway. I was able to watch our local DEC Forest Rangers in action, and I must say, I was impressed. Their response was fast and professional. Under extreme winter conditions, they were able to quickly move the injured individuals off the mountain, to awaiting ambulances. We are fortunate to have such dedicated rangers here in the North Country. Keep up the good work!

EssexÊ CountyÊ hasÊ shownÊ honestÊ leadershipÊ onÊ ballotÊ lawsuitÊ To the Editor: Much has been written regarding the lawsuit filed by Essex County Democrat Chairwoman Bethany Kosmider vs. Essex County Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Elections.

The issue is whether the county board should hand over ballot images from the 2015 general elections.

Most of the reporting has been factual, however, some of the commentary and opinions have been self-serving and disingenuous.

But they are only opinions and everyone is entitled to theirs.

It has been suggested that the county may be hiding something from the 2015 elections, which is silly. Immediately following the election, all candidates and party leaders were notified and invited to attend an audit of the machines and ballots.

Neither Bethany Kosmider nor any of the losing candidates attended. If Kosmider was “concerned” about ballots, why wasn’t she or any of the losing candidates there?

As to the recent Supreme Court ruling, the judge in his decision stated that the law is “in cohesive and is in need of examination by the New York State Legislature.”

He also stated that “the record reveals that the respondents (the County) had a reasonable basis to deny the FOIL (ballot) request.”

It is my understanding that some supervisors have been criticized for their decision to provide funding for an appeal.

On the contrary, the Essex County Board of Supervisors have shown honest leadership after carefully considering all the facts to date and should be commended.

Their decision will hopefully result in a clarification of the law by a higher court or perhaps by the state legislature, thus saving future dollars for all New York State taxpayers. A true example of democracy in action, in my opinion.

What’s not clear here is the motivation for the lawsuit by petitioner Kosmider. I believe it has everything to do with the State Democrat Party attempting to set a precedent and nothing to do with Essex County elections.

Only time will tell.

Preserving life A little longer We deserve every chance Glenn Mollette Columnist

I

’ve assured my wife that I will do everything to save and preserve her life should she ever be in a life and death scenario. Should she ever be in a hospital hooked up to wires and on the verge of death, doctors and nurses do not have permission to start pulling plugs and rushing hospice into the room. She has assured me the same support. We realize that death will come to both of us and neither of us wants to linger in a vegetative state. Of course we don’t know what the scenario will be and no one does. We do believe we deserve every chance to pull through if it’s possible.

In 2002, a doctor said this concerning the illness of my first wife, “She has fought a hard battle we can let her go on. Or, we can try to do everything we can to extend her life.” I opted for the latter. They actually extended her life at least a couple of weeks and she had numerous good visits with her family and two adoring sons. I know we tried everything available to us to extend and save her life. Yet, I will never be free from the disappointment and pain that we could not cure her illness and save her.

My wife’s grandfather was about to be released from the hospital and seemed to be feeling great. They decided to keep him and soon it seemed they pulled hospice in and he was dead in a couple of days. Please don’t hear me speaking against hospice. I know they do a wonderful job in many scenarios. Frequently, they appear to be called in too prematurely.

It seems to me that doctors, hospital staff and nursing home staff get tired of some people and help them exit life. I realize you may yell that I’m wrong but I’m entitled to my opinion. Medical insurance doesn’t pay forever nor does it cover any and every kind of treatment and option to extend life. When the medical insurance is shaking its head “no” to further treatments then what happens? Is this when life really ends?

I have eulogized over 400 funerals. I’ve made thousands of hospital and nursing home visits.

So many times I have witnessed exhausted families and tired, overworked and underpaid intensive care staff caring for a patient who required painstaking treatment and attention. It was at these moments that it seemed I would hear “We have tried and done all we can do.”

I don’t think you or any of us want to be held in this world helplessly tied to a ventilator and multiple devices. On the other hand I don’t think any of us would mind being plugged up a while if in a couple of weeks we might rouse up and be able to spend a few more months or weeks with our family, eating ice cream or even watching wheel of fortune.

This is all difficult stuff and I have dear family and friends very involved in the medical profession. I’m not pointing fingers at you. I’m pointing fingers at all of us. Fight for your loved ones and friends. Value, sustain and protect life as long as you can.

espite the bitter cold temperature on this Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining bright. Turning the clocks ahead is one sign that spring is just around the corner.

Walking in to church from my car, I could hear the birds singing. They were not complaining — why should we? They take each day as it comes.

It fills our hearts with sadness as we read each paper and so many times know someone that is in the obituaries. This past week there was Sherman LaBounty, Marge Peters and Matt Lavergne. Several funerals on Saturday in the bitter weather.

Many from our area attended the calling hours and funeral of Carolyn Heath McCullen in Granville. Carmella Thissell went with me to Granville for the calling hours.

On Saturday afternoon: Ron and Kathy Allen, Randy and Dolly Heath, John and Grace Heath, Monica Inot, Agnes Straight and Rosalie Russell enjoyed lunch at R&B Diner in Comstock. Great visit.

Martha Persons and I met Phyllis Monthony and three of her friends at the mall last Wednesday to watch “The Shack.”

Hope everyone will get to see it.

Rev. Mwakalonge and son visited his granddaughter, Judith, in South Carolina for a few days. They flew back to Africa on March 12. I was able to visit with Mwakalonge and his granddaughter on the phone. Mom saw Mwakalonge when she went to Africa in the 1980s. Also, Ron and Kathy Allen saw him there.

The yearly cancer fundraiser was at the Athol Town Hall on Saturday. Many enjoyed the meal and the bluegrass music.

Martha and I went. Good to see Jim and Cathy Hitchcock and George Dunkley.

Many maple syrup makers have started the maple season.

Glad to hear about the ones making syrup. It sure is a hard job. Fred and I grew up in the sugar bush in the spring. How many times did we try to sleep on the wood pile or a cot in the back of the sugar house.

Happy birthday to Jan Corliss, Michael Allen, Debby Leigh, Sierra Dunkley, Ginny Dalaba, Todd Millington, Diana Cleveland, Kevin Allen, Ashley Aldous, Scott Kramar, Sharon Allen.

Happy anniversary to Pete and Michelle Wood, and Darryl and Susie West.

Enjoy each and every day.

his past weekend we changed the clocks, and the spring solstice is March 20. These two factors give rise to hope that spring is around the corner. I realize that here in the Adirondacks, it can snow well into April and beyond. I believe they call spring snow “poor man’s fertilizer.”

The day before the solstice, March 19, will be an historic event: World Monopoly Day. That is when Hasbro, the maker of Monopoly, will announce what token will replace the thimble.

That’s right folks — the thimble is on its way out the door.

It follows on the heels of the flatiron, which left the premises in 2013. A cat came in to replace it.

The thimble and flatiron have been part of the iconic Monopoly board game since its inception in 1935. I did some research and discovered that the original six token pieces were the top hat, thimble, flatiron, shoe, battleship and cannon.

The race car, purse, wheelbarrow and Scottie dog were added in the 1950s.

I understand the logic behind losing the thimble. Darning socks is a lost art. My grandmother used a thimble when she did her cut-out embroidery, but I don’t even own one. It is not the loss of the thimble that concerns me — it is what may replace it.

Members of the public were polled. (They didn’t ask me.) I understand that the voting included 56 new tokens and eight old ones. Among the many possibilities are: penguin, TV, Mr. Monopoly, watch, wheel, bunny slippers and a rubber ducky.

The winners, to be announced on March 19, will be reflected in a new version of the game available in August.

Sprague << Continued from | p. 1

Sprague also said she has delivered on previous campaign pledges to run a fiscally responsible office, and has submitted budgets that have run below those in previous years.

“The only increases that continue to be unavoidable are the costs for insurance premiums and retirement, which are costs beyond my control,” Sprague said. “I have continued to secure grants from various state and federal sources to help finance and offset not only my expenses, but other partner law enforcements’ needs as well.”

BREATHE! Eight area residents attended a CPR class conducted by Lynn Green, of Minerva, at the Minerva Town Hall on March 7. Green was assisted by her niece, Meghan LeVielle. Students received training in adult, child and infant CPR, working with a trainer AED and getting acquainted with the recently installed device at the town hall.

ohnsburg Historical Society has set up its new exhibit/ game board at Johnsburg Central School as the first in a series to highlight local heroes.

The exhibit/game board, titled “Who Am I,” is located in the hallway behind the gym. Its purpose, apart from entertainment, is to introduce students to their local history, to shine a light on character and perseverance, and to elaborate on the fact that no matter where they begin or what their circumstances may be, everything can work towards propelling them forward into becoming the very best of who they are meant to be!

The current mystery woman is the first in a series of local heroes/well-known people whose roots are in Johnsburg and who made their mark on the larger society. We begin with a

We invite you, the parents, to come by and look.

Help your student to figure out some of the clues and submit his or her answer. But don’t tell him the answer! Remind students to put their names and date on their answer cards.

The winners, in addition to learning local history, also will win prizes from local businesses and have their names, along with others who participated, posted on the board. Let’s have some fun!

An ongoing invitation from Johnsburg Historical Society is extended to the public for involvement in society activities.

There are many levels of participation to consider, from a onetime involvement to frequent support. We need your presence in many areas: filing, stuffing envelopes, archiving, telephoning, taking photos.

Sprague is married and the mother of two children, Hayden and Jayde, who attend Moriah Central.

Sprague has secured early endorsements from a number of key figures, including former Essex County District Attorney John C. McDonald, who served from 1972-1993.

“The residents of Essex County are privileged to have Kristy Sprague as their District Attorney,” said McDonald. “They are also fortunate that she has decided to become a candidate for re-election. Kristy has been professional in the performance of her sworn duties, protective of victims, the general public and the constitutional rights of all. I en-

dorse her re-election without reservation.”

Essex County Republican Party Committee Chairman Shaun Gillilland said the committee is “extremely proud to support our district attorney.”

“She has done a fantastic job,” Gillilland said. “We’re looking forward to her continued service as county district attorney.”

Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston (I-Wilmington) cited Sprague’s work to combat opiate abuse and addiction, and said her STOP DWI program is “second to none.”

“She is the like the Energizer Bunny when it comes to prosecuting those who would not

abide by our laws,” Preston said.

Gerald Morrow (D-Chesterfield), the board’s ranking Democrat, also endorsed Sprague.

“I would never endorse another person for the job of district attorney in Essex County as long as we have Kristy Sprague willing to fight our fight,” Morrow said. “We have had some good DAs come and go in my many years here, but if I was to rate Kristy Sprague, well, she is right at the top of the list.”

Sprague, a Republican, was first elected in 2009, and ran unopposed for re-election in 2013.

A challenger has yet to come forward.

It’s an odd year? Then Lake George must be in the Final Four!

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TROY — It’s not going to be a 15-minute bus ride for the two-time NYSPHSAA Class C champions this time around.

The Lake George Warriors, who won the 2013 and 2015 titles at the Glens Falls Civic Center, will now have to travel to Binghamton if they wish to keep the odd-year magic alive, after defeating the Ticonderoga Sentinels for the third time this season with a 6259 win March 11 at Hudson Valley Community College.

“This will be a new experience for all of us,” Warriors head coach Dave Jones said. “First year down there (Binghamton) and we are excited to see how it is going to work out.”

The two teams jockeyed for position throughout the day, with the Warriors owning a 56-46 lead late into the fourth.

The Sentinels would not quit, however, rallying with big shots by Evan Graney and Colton Huestis, whose seventh three pointer

Mason Flately

of the game cut the lead to 61-59 with seconds left.

After a foul with 2.2 seconds remaining, Alex Jones sank the first free throw for a 6259 lead, but missed the second.

Ticonderoga got a hand on the potential rebound, but was unable to get a clean handle on the ball, with Sentinel players scrambling to keep the ball inbounds as the final buzzer sounded.

While Huestis finished with 24 points to lead the Sentinels with his seven trifectas, it was the duo of Mason Flately and Caleb Scrime who connected on nine threepointers to lead the Warriors with 25 and 20 points, respectively.

“That was an in-game adjustment for us,” Jones said. “We were struggling to get some of our other offense going so we made that adjustment in the middle of the third. Any time we are all knocking down shots together, it get us going.”

“It’s a great feeling,” Flately said. “Ticonderoga is a great team and it was a great finish for us. The way we executed throughout the entire playoffs has been great. It was nice to have Caleb hitting to take some pressure off and rely on my teammates.”

“We had this play and we switched it up a little bit and it seemed to work out well,” Scrime said. “You know when you are feeling it that when it comes out of your hands it looks good.”

Alex Jones scored points early with a pair of three’s and late with a 3-4 effort from the foul line, scoring a total of 15 points.

“They were going to do pick and roll the whole time. Is was exactly what we drew up on the board and they executed to perfection,” said Alex about the third quarter. “My job then was to hold onto the ball and find holes to attack.”

“When they started shifting the defense away from him, it opened some lanes for him to get through,” said coach Jones. “Ti is a great team that is excellently coached and we expected a great game from them today.”

Another key for the Warriors was Zeke Reynolds, who did not score but limited Ti point guard Graney to 14 points.

“Graney is a great player,” said Flately. “He is quick and has a great handle and shot. Zeke did a great job locking him down. He is one of the best defenders I know.”

“We can always trust Zeke because he is a great defender,” said Scrime.

“My job was to shadow him and keep it out of his hand,” Reynolds said. “I wanted to do my best to stay in front of him and beat him to the spot.”

Reynolds is the lone player to see significant minutes in the 2015 final four.

“It’s going to be fun because it is my senior year,” he said. “It’s a different team but I love

being around these guys and it is going to be a good time with them. Hopefully we can do what we need to do and I can end my senior year with another state title.”

Kaleb Helms added 4 points in the win.

For the Sentinels, Brett Mosier added 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Griffin Hughes scored 4 and Samuel DuShane 3.

Head coach Joe Defayette said the regional final had the same feel of the last time these two teams met, earlier in the regular season.

“They made more shots than we did the last two times we played them,” he said. “Today, we were able to make almost as many shots as they did.”

Defayette praise the leadership of his trio of seniors in Griffin Hughes, Brett Mosier and Samuel DuShane.

“They brought a lot of leadership when things started to get away from us in games,” he said. “They kept guys’ heads on straight.

North Warren run comes to end in regional finals

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TROY — For a fourth straight year, it appeared the Moriah Vikings girls varsity basketball team would end their season in regionals against North Warren March 11.

Down 43-36 to North Warren late in the fourth quarter, the Lady Vikings started a run which would earn them a return trip back to Hudson Valley Community College and the Class D final four with a 56-53 overtime win.

“This is a lot of relief,” said coach Steve Pelkey. “These girls have worked so hard to get here. They did it not for themselves but every other team who has been here and was not able to make it. The way they did it, as well, we never gave up.”

The Vikings were able to close the fourth quarter gap to 45-42 with under 20 seconds remaining before a turnover

by North Warren center Madasyn Bush gave the Vikings the ball back, with McKenzie Sprague hitting a game-tying threepointer with three seconds left off an assist by Madison Olcott.

“All the pressure was on me,” Sprague said. “There was no secret in the huddle, coach said the ball was going to me and it was my shot. It felt good coming off my hand.”

“I had all the confidence in the world on that shot,” Olcott said. “She is always very good on those shots and she is the best shooter on the team.”

“We said it was going to be a pick-and-pop play for McKenzie and Maddy,” Pelkey said. “She knew it was all on her. I don’t know if I wanted her to take that deep of a three, but she stepped up and made it.”

The teams remained deadlocked into the overtime period until the 19.7 mark, when Hailey Crossman was fouled grabbing a rebound.

“I was so nervous - I still don’t think I know for sure what happened,” Crossman said. “I was nervous at the line, I was nervous when I shot the ball. I’m just so happy they went in because we work on foul shooting all the time.”

With 12.2 seconds left, Halee Calabrese was able to gab a loose ball and get to the foul line herself, scoring on her sec-

ond shot to give the Vikings the 56-53 edge.

“It was a different nervousness not hitting the first one, a little but more pressure, but I focused on the second one and was able to hit it. It moved the lead to where they needed a three.”

Sprague finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds, while Makayla Stockwell scored 12 points to go with five rebounds and five steals.

“I honestly just practiced a lot more, on my offense this year,” Stockwell said on the offensive increase in her game over the season. “I felt closer to my team this year and that really helped. They supported me a lot and gave me confidence. I am as happy as I have ever been right now.”

“She has a lot of potential and she has worked hard over the summer and earned everything she got this year,” Pelkey said of Stockwell. “She is our best defensive player, she hits the boards hard, especially on offense and she has a ton of Madasyn Bush jumps center for North Warren in the Class D regional finals March 11.

In overtime, Olcott started Photo by Jill Lobdell to establish herself as a force, Pelkey said. “Our bench played phenomenally today, in the scoring four points on the interior and adding a pair of assists to a 10 points, 10 rebound and last four minutes and overtime.”

8 assist night before fouling out with 37 seconds remaining.

Calabrese finished with 4 points and 7 rebounds, while “The kids coming off the bench really stepped up tonight,” Lillian Perry and Crossman each added 2 points and Emily Olcott said. “McKenzie had a Haase had one rebound late in overtime, setting up the final lot of good looks. It wasn’t my free throws. best night but everyone else For the Bobcats, Madasyn Bush finished with 27 points and stepped up.”

11 rebounds, while Alyssa Dewar scored 8, Sarah Stewart 7, “Madison was fantastic,” Hannah Kenney 6, Sydney Gagnon 3 and Alyssa Kramar 2.
