Twenty-five Crown Point High School students visited area nursing homes recently to spread holiday cheer. Students sang Christmas carols, helped residents complete holiday crafts and handed out homemade cards, which were created by students in grades Pre-K through 12. The Leadership through Service program is one of the three College For Every Student organization’s pathways, and students said they truly enjoyed the volunteering opportunity.

Fundraiser for Chilson Volunteer Fire Deptartment The annual dinner-dance is set for Feb. 11 at the EMA in Ticonderoga

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

CHILSON – Chilson firefighters are hoping this year’s annual dinner-dance will raise enough money to buy new air packs and gear.

The Chilson Volunteer Fire Department is holding its 39th annual dinner-dance at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Employees Mutual Association (EMA) Club at Shore Airport Road and Maplewood Lane in Ticonderoga.

The theme is a special salute to the military service members and veterans of the community. Active-duty military personnel of all branches who live in the Chilson-Ticonderoga area are invited to attend free of charge.

The dinner buffet will include salad, chicken and beef entrees, side dishes and desserts.

Along with dinner, music and dancing, the evening will feature raffles with lots of prizes.

The fundraiser will help them modernize their equipment, spokesman Stephen Phelps said.

“Proceeds of this year’s dinner dance will go to help Chilson Volunteer Fire Department outfit our firefighters with upgraded protective safety gear they need to fight interior fires,” Phelps said. “First, we have three new trained firefighters joining the department. We need to provide them with new, fitted head-to-toe bunker gear, from boots to helmets. Each new set of gear costs about $2,200.”

They also need new air packs that allow firefighters to enter burning structures.

Second, we need to replace five obsolete self-contained breathing apparatus masks with new SCBA masks that have thermal imaging built in,” Phelps said. “These imagers allow firefighters to see active flames through what would otherwise be blinding smoke, as well as to see life-threatening traps like

open floors or structural collapse.

“The new masks are proven lifesavers for both firefighters and fire victims, but they cost up to $1,900 each. Needless to say, although we save money in many areas of operation by ingenuity and making do, life-saving equipment is no place to cut corners.”

Chilson Volunteer Fire Department is a federal tax law 501(c)(3) corporation, so donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Tickets are $15 a person. To buy tickets or for more information, call 585-9133 or 597-3398, or e-mail ChilsonVFD@ gmail.com.

Tickets usually sell out quickly, Phelps said as a reminder to those intending to attend, and must be purchased in advance.

The Chilson Volunteer Fire Department will hold its annual dinner-dance fundraiser on Feb. 11. Previous events have been well-attended.

American Girl dolls aid hospital UVM Med Center Ticonderoga Elks and Ellee Borho have donated the dolls

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Led by a little girl, members of Ticonderoga Elks Lodge recently conveyed seven American Girl dolls to the Pediatric Care Center at the University of Vermont Medical Center.

The project was started by seven-year-old Ellee Borho, a student at St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga, to raise money to buy American Girl dolls without hair for little girls going through chemotherapy at the hospital’s Pediatric Care Center in Burlington, Vt. Ticonderoga Elks Lodge 1494 sponsored Ellee Borho and her raffle of American Girl Doll Lea. Ellee and her mother, Ticonderoga High School 9th-grade English teacher Jessica Borho, sold tickets at various locations around TicondFrom left are Jessica Borho, Elks Exalted Ruler Marge Hurlburt, Ellee Borho, with one of the seven American Girl dolls being given to eroga, and raised enough to buy seven dolls. the UVM Children’s Hospital, and Stella Koylsko and Peggy Lamb from Ticonderoga Elks Lodge.

“Ellee was a little bit nervous as she waited (at the hospital) for her Elk friends, Marge, Peggy and Stella,” Jessica said. “She immediately broke into a smile and a sigh of relief when they emerged off the elevator.”

Elks Marge Hurlburt, Stella Koylsko and Peggy Lamb had Ashley Mitchell-Ringvette, the child-life specialist at UVM Children’s Hospital, with them.

“Upon meeting Ashley and traveling up to the floor, Ellee remembered being there when her brother had broken his leg,” Jessica said. “She told Ashley that he had stayed in the little room across from the nurses’ station.”

Mitchell-Ringvette showed them the office she worked in, and told Ellee about the diversions that they use with young patients to distract them during certain tests.

“She (Ellee) listened as Ashley discussed how the floor was pretty full and how not everyone was there just for cancer (treatment),” Jessica said.

“That many times, patients came for appendix, or breathing problems, or broken bones like her brother. She said they may use iPads, dolls, board games, coloring to take their mind off what is going on.”

Mitchell-Ringvette gave them a tour of the center.

“Ellee then saw the teen room, the overnight family rooms, the Ronald McDonald room, and children’s playroom,” Jessica said. “She remembered how nice Ashley was to everyone and how she had just gotten married and had to have a new name tag because her name had changed.

“Ellee already wants to get enough for eight dolls next year because she Ellee Borho (right) talks with Ashley Mitchell-Ringvette, child-life specialist at UVM Children’s Hospital, before donating American Girl will be 8 (years old).” dolls she fundraised for to the Pediatric Center.

National award for Ticonderoga veterinarian Ticonderoga Animal Hospital is being honored for its excellence

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The Ticonderoga Animal Hospital is receiving a recognition award from the American Animal Hospital Association for a commitment to excellence.

The veterinary clinic and animal hospital is run by Dr. James Mack, a licensed and experienced veterinarian.

The American Animal Hospital Association is the accrediting body for companion animal hospitals in the United States and Canada.

Ticonderoga Animal Hospital has served the Ticonderoga area for everything pet-related since November 1978.

“You and your practice team have clearly recognized the benefits of adhering to the standards of excellence of the American Animal Hospital Association and maintaining your status as an accredited member of AAHA,” Michael T. Cavanaugh of the association said in a letter to Dr. Mack.

“In recognition of your practiceteam’s achievement and long-standing commitment to excellence, we would like to present you with an award during the AAHA Nashville 2017 Conference.”

He said the awards ceremony is during the AAHA Accredited Practice Breakfast on Sunday, April 2.

“During the conference, AAHA will showcase practices celebrating 25, 50 and 75 years of accreditation on the awards display in the Music City Center,” Cavanaugh said. “Congratulations on achieving this major milestone.”

Modernization and structural improvements were made to the clinic

in 1981, 1984 and 1989 to provide a broader range of client services and to meet the requirements set forth by the American Animal Hospital Association.

“We provide full small animal medical, laboratory, x-ray and surgical services,” practice manager Noel Mack said. “We proudly became a hospital member of AAHA in 1995. We voluntarily submit to periodic inspections, adhering to over 900 requirements, to ensure quality medical care for all of our patients.”

She said Ticonderoga Animal Hospital stays on top of the latest advances in veterinarian technology.

“Our team is committed to educating our clients in how to keep their pets healthy year-round with good nutrition and exercise,” she said. “Above all, (we) remember that all animals and pets need to be treated with loving care in every check-up, procedure or surgery.”

The Ticonderoga Animal Hospital on Shore Airport Road is receiving a recognition award from the American Animal Hospital Association for its commitment to excellence in pet care.

Tale of two Americas

e’ve heard it before but it continues to be relevant today, “A house divided against itself can not stand”.

That quote used by President Lincoln in the heat of our nation’s civil war has roots as far back as biblical times. The simple truth is when we’ve had enough fighting, death, destruction and tearing ourselves apart what we are left with is the same place we have today only far worse off.

The solution to our differences will never be accomplished by a fight to the death, nor complete polarization, nor protests in the streets to bringing the country to a stand still.

It starts and ends right back at our very beginning with the United States Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our elected form of democracy.

Those are the only tools that will raise our country up to a better version of itself and unite her people behind the truth and morale conduct we all agree to accept as the norm.

We’ve all heard about the horrific crime committed last week in Chicago by four young Americans who kidnapped an eighteen year old with diminished mental capacity. He was beaten, tortured and humiliated on live video with racial and political overtones.

What was gained by anyone, anywhere for anything as a result of this crime?

Other than destroying five lives, nothing was accomplished. Thankfully no one was killed but none of those individuals may ever be able to undo what occurred.

I fear it’s only the tip of the iceberg if we keep going down this divisive road and it won’t stop until we’ve driven the nation to the point of destruction.

Even during the Cold War with the Soviet Union we understood the policy of Detente, a French word meaning release from tension, where both counties understood the basic reality that for the world to survive they had to find solutions to improve their relations and coexist. Doubts and fear kept us pitted against each other, but in the end both sides understood there was a line not to be crossed.

Sooner or later we will put political antics aside and discover a better find ways to govern with fairness and equity for all or this nation as we know it will not survive.

So why wait? Inauguration day is on Friday next week and instead of protest rallies and civil disobedience events, let’s try solving our differences now before more lives and greater damage is inflicted in an already tumultuous environment.

Let’s give unity and the new administration a chance. If not now when? Four years or eight years from now? The anger, gridlock, economy and world stability will only get far worse if we don’t take corrective steps…. NOW! Dan Alexander may be reached at dan@suncommunitynews.com.

Not sold on tuition proposal G

ov. Andrew Cuomo is zipping around the state this week giving six localized state of the state speeches.

The governor previewed his marquee proposal last week, free tuition at state colleges.

Details are still scant, but the Excelsior Scholarship would appear to target middle-class families making between $30,000 and $125,000 per year, or about 1 million families.

The proposal, which has not been introduced in legislative form, is slated to cost state taxpayers $163 million.

While the figure is a relative drop in the bucket when discussing a $155 billion spending plan, we’re not entirely convinced this is the best use of taxpayer dollars.

First of all, giving kids a free ride to college will strip away a sense of competitiveness, which is an important life lesson.

Unlocking availability will also cheapen the value of a degree. With universal tuition, we envision college campuses sprouting into tuition-free oases clogged with students just looking to coast for four years.

Then, when they graduate, they’ll be gobsmacked that the job market is saturated.

Secondly, the proposal contains no relief for the middle-class college grads and their families who are already groaning under massive debt.

Instead of opening the floodgates, a better solution for getting debt under control is reforming lending practices and addressing why tuition continues to rise at state schools each year.

When it comes to career readiness, a better idea to prepare students for the job market would be enhancing technical and trade vocational programs.

We hear all the time that the biggest problem facing workforce development in the North Country is the lack of qualified people for the positions available.

Folks either don’t want the jobs, or those who are qualified opt for more attractive career packages elsewhere.

A two-year program that shapes readiness for manufacturing, for instance, will allow kids to walk into $60,000 per year industries, which to us, is far more valuable than a four-year diploma with no sure career prospects.

There’s a lot we like in Cuomo’s proposals, including the tax credit relief for middle class families struggling to provide daycare and up to $2 billion in clean water infrastructure investments.

But the state legislature would be wise to put the brakes on this plan — or at least sweeten the deal with incentives for those who don’t think college is the answer.

We admire the governor for always thinking big. But while noble in its intentions, free tuition is not the right solution to curb soaring student debt at this time.

EnoughÊ of Ê theÊ soreÊ loserÊ negativism To the Editor: Is anyone getting tired of the same old song and dance from the same miserable people? Especially Mr. Gary Phillip Guido.

Mr. Guido likes to think that his opinion covers all of us veterans.

It does not.

Mr. Guido points out that Mr. Trump was never in the military. In case he hasn’t noticed, the last president that legitimately was, was President George Bush.

Oh, and by the way, Mrs. Clinton wasn’t either.

He is also obsessed with Mr. Putin.

While I agree that Mr. Putin bears serious watching, the Cold War is over.

As far as global powers go, China firmly occupies the second spot under us.

Again, in case Mr. Guido didn’t notice, the first time Mr. Obama stood up to Mr. Putin was one week ago — with three weeks left in his term!

Mr. Putin has been walking all over us for seven years, 11 months!

Mr. Guido also appears to have some kind of “anti Israel” situation.

I know that I have had enough of these people and their “sore loser” negativism.

lETTERS TO THE EDITOR

JunkÊ carsÊ ordinanceÊ neededÊ inÊ Westport To the Editor: Thank you to The Sun for informing people that Westport is considering a plan to have junk vehicles removed from public view.

As noted, the plan offers people the opportunity to have junk vehicles hauled away for free. It is designed to work in a friendly and effective manner so that people driving through Westport enjoy its beauty without having to see junk cars.

The plan was presented to the Town Board by the Beautiful Westport Committee, which is working to address the presence of junk vehicles, deal with abandoned properties, remove roadside trash and maintain flower displays along town roads.

The plan notes that the tourism part of Westport’s economy depends on visitors’ enjoyment of the beautiful views as they drive on local roads. Going beyond tourism, people who consider moving or opening a business here would be more likely to do so if they don’t see junk cars around the town. And for those of us who live here, having a junk-free landscape is better than the alternative.

Westport, like most towns, has ordinances that align with state laws about junk vehicles.

It states that a junk vehicle is an unregistered vehicle not in condition for legal use. In the hamlet of Westport, no vehicle can be kept outside without a current inspection certificate.

Outside the hamlet, junk vehicles cannot be visible from public roads or neighboring properties. Two junk vehicles on a property is considered a junkyard and junkyards are not allowed in Westport. Compliance with these rules conveys the message that people care for their community by following regulations that protect property values, aesthetics, and economic vitality.

The plan features a cooperative and flexible approach that should avoid the need for legal action. By providing for the free removal of the junk vehicles, there will be no financial burden on the owner. Following the initial mailing with other mailings and personal contacts allows for consideration of extenuating circumstances like intentions to restore the vehicle or use it for parts.

The plan would allow for some flexibility, like with demolition derby cars, that could be displayed for a set amount of time before needing to be moved out of sight.

The committee appreciates the Town Board’s consideration of the plan. It is an excellent way to help out residents, respect the town’s ordinances, improve Westport’s image and support our economy.

AmÊ IÊ wrong?Ê ProveÊ it!Ê To the Editor: In this week’s paper, I was surprised to find my name mentioned in the ‘opinions’ section. I did not think I had stated my thoughts with hate, nor do I believe I have said any hateful things about anyone in my letters, as Mr. Guido seems to believe.

Also some of what I stated may very well be wrong. In my 59 years, I have been wrong on numerous occasions. I may not have had all the facts.

As Will Rogers said, “I only know what I read in the papers.”

In my case, TV, newspapers, online.

But if Mr. Guido would be willing to point out where he thinks I am wrong, I would be more than willing to debate him on any and all issues.

As to the prayers, I, like Mr. Guido, need all I can get and wish to thank him for his prayers.

Bill of Rights over 235 years ago, but because the people still believe in them.

“We the people” determine our future, not any one man or woman. People like a wonderful farm family I have known for many years. They will continue to help feed our country, working hours most of us would never consider. Their children worked on the farm through high school.

As parents, they emphasized education, and are proud of the college, community college and technical training and degrees their children received. Their strong moral values were obvious to anyone who got to know them. Their work ethic, moral values, love of the land and farming make them the kind of citizens that have made our country great since its foundation.

President-elect Trump is fortunate that he will represents the strongest people on earth. We pray that he does our country proud. God Bless America!

WhoÊ willÊ pickÊ upÊ theÊ tabÊ forÊ freeÊ tuition?

To the Editor: So Gov. Andy Cuomo and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders propose free college in New York State for low and middle-class students via the Excelsior Scholarship Program and everyone goes hurrah, this is fantastic.

But, if it’s free for the students and their households, that would mean other households will be picking up the $163 million per year tab.

Which households, pray-tell?

AlarmedÊ byÊ phoneÊ troubles To the Editor: Most people today have a telephone or cell phone. They can be hard wired to the company’s equipment or via a radio link, as is a cell phone. Telephones can have a technical failure which their people do not realize. A public service member called the problem “false ring in.”

To the person making the call, they think nobody is home as the call is not getting answered. The bell on the other end does not ring.

If people tell you they called, but you were not home, but actually you were home, then that is what has happened. Or you pick up the phone to make a call but somebody making a call to you is there and talks to you.

Perhaps 15 years ago, my wife was going to call somebody, but a friend of hers was on the phone. When told to repair service, the person said “there is something in the exchange and I am not about to look for it.”

This went over great to a person in public service.

I have had this false ring in perhaps a dozen times (no exaggeration) since the mid-sixties, even though the company has put in a new switching equipment.

At one time, the repair personnel said I was the only Warrensburg person complaining of this trouble. Shortly thereafter, I met three people who I casually knew that had this trouble, but did not know they were having this false ring in condition.

You can tell other people of this potential trouble, then if it occurs, report it to repair service and also to public service.

As of now, this problem has not caused me any other problems but I do not know what may happen in the future.

Maybe then the phone company will figure how to permanently fix this condition, as now it may happen anywhere at any sporadic times in between normally received telephone calls.

U.S.Ê willÊ remainÊ strongÊ despiteÊ CongressÊ isÊ anythingÊ butÊ changeÊ inÊ leadership Christian To the Editor: On Jan. 20, Donald Trump will be sworn in as President of the United States. Celebrations and protests will mark the occasion. Democracy is messy.

I did not vote for him, and I do not think much of him, but he will be the president and deserves praise for the good decisions he will make, and criticism for the bad ones. This has been the way we have usually treated our past presidents.

The country will remain strong. As a former USAF officer working in intelligence organizations like the National Security Agency and the Foreign Technology Division, I have seen many threats to our national security. We have defeated them all. Further, our freedoms of speech, assembly, religion, and the press will remain vibrant.

Not because they were enshrined in our Constitution and

To the Editor: After reading a news article about those in Congress being more Christian than the general public, I became sick!

The article stated that when asked, members of Congress professed 9 out of 10 to be Christian. The fact is anyone can profess to be anything but actually being what he or she professes is another thing. One can find several meanings for the word “Christian” but one only has to read the local newspaper to know those in our Congress are anything but! I found the following definition: 1. Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.

2. Relating to or derived from Jesus or Jesus’ teachings.

3. Manifesting the qualities or spirit of Jesus, especially in showing concern for others.

4. Relating to or characteristic of Christianity or its adherents.

Being a follower of Jesus Christ takes more than professing.

It means caring for others not shutting down the country for political reasons! It means not attacking a president because of his skin color!

It means protecting those you were elected serve by not taking away labor laws that protected them! It means not taking money from lobbyists to sway their decisions!

It means having the strength to say no to your peers when they do wrong!

It means going out of your way to lend a hand to those who are less fortunate!

Jesus’ teachings are certainly not followed when those in Congress ignore the will of the people and cut medical care while making sure they are covered using the money of the people! Jesus’ teachings are not followed when Congress gives themselves a raise while cutting Social Security and benefits!

It is a sorry fact that once elected members of our Congress have one goal, and it is to be re-elected! The pay and benefits will insure them a good life while they play legislators. Being a Christian is no different than being a Muslim or of the Jewish faith one must follow the tenants of their religion to actually be considered a believer. A good place for Congress to let us know they really care is for them to vote term limits!

Maybe then we can see if they really follow whatever faith they profess!

ProposedÊ nutritionÊ buildingÊ anotherÊ exampleÊ of Ê wastefulÊ spending To the Editor: So once again, I see local officials in pursuit of more wasteful spending.

Having banished the use of the barns at the fairgrounds over a paltry sum of money, Essex County is proposing to spending over $1 million on a building there, when at the same time, the Town of Westport is wanting to spend almost another million on the worn-out Town Hall.

It seems to me that as the kitchen building will start its working day early in the morning, and be done by midday and the town business runs often into the evening, that a join use might be developed and allow the old Wada Building to be sold off.

Just to prove this point, I enclose the resolution of the Town Board blackballing the Valley News for running my ad looking for alternative uses of the old town hall. Pretty typical.

ThurmanÊ supervisorÊ refusesÊ toÊ playÊ nice To the Editor: This letter is to address the behavior at the Thurman town board meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 3.

The supervisor and her supporters came expecting trouble from those who oppose them.

It was nice to see the supervisor allow her supporters to interrupt the newly elected board members. It is so obvious the supervisor does not hold everyone to the same level.

One resolution, Cynthia Hyde asked some questions, the supervisor snapped, banging her gavel and yelling. Later Hyde stated, “This resolution has many issues in it, I want to clarify just one. Let’s rewrite it so the rest will be done and then we can work on the one issue.” Ms. Wood refused to discuss it.

The supervisor said, “You cannot strip me of my power.”

And “the state tells me what I have to do, not you!” (Then Ms. Wood, I ask, if the state tells you what to do, then why do you need to ask the rest of the board for their approval?)

The supervisor later closed the meeting and went home. A nearby town had this happen and continued to operate, I am hopeful that our board members will look into these issues so as not to do the wrong thing.

I am confident that these board members will find out what to do when the supervisor refuses to play nice and then goes home.

I would also like to commend these board members for not only staying, but also having the backbone to stand up and voice their concerns.

It was also nice to see the attempt to have open discussion at a public meeting and bring it out from behind closed doors like we saw so many times from our appointed board of 2016.

EyE ON THE ARTS

Never stop fighting

O

n Jan. 16, 1938, jazz musician Benny Goodman played at New York City’s Carnegie Hall for the first time.

Goodman was the first jazz musician to play in the famed venue — a booking that seems relatively normal now.

In the ‘30s, the concert caused quite a stir.

At the time, Carnegie Hall was reserved primarily for classical music. Highbrow stuff. Jazz was considered wild — the rock and roll of its day.

As the story goes, when Goodman’s agent suggested he play at the venue, he laughed it off.

Yet when tickets went on sale — $2.75 for the prime seats, equivalent to roughly $50 now — the show sold out fast, weeks before the historic night.

This week, to all the local musicians out there, I say: just because it has not been done before, does not mean you can’t do it. Be innovative. Be ever-evolving. Never stop fighting.

To everyone else: support your local venue. Benny Goodman started off in local clubs before he made it to Carnegie Hall. It’s important to make sure that our hometown musicians have a place to start.

There are a few concerts this week. Check them out: The Nick Schnebelen Band will perform at the Champlain Wine Company in Plattsburgh on Jan. 15.

Also in this year’s program were juniors Jessica Bruce, Fallon Kennedy, Grace Montville, Alexis Santose, Meegan Shaw, and Alyssa Tucker.

As in year’s past, the program participants also joined in a mentoring outreach program which enabled them to partner with girls in area elementary schools. Eight participated as Little Sisters in this year’s program, including Kaylee Bishop, Sophie McDonald, Devlyn McLaughlin, Addison Munson, Kenady Pinson, Emily Rocque, Miya Savage and Emelia Tuthill.

munity members have ensured that future Ticonderoga High School students will continue to have this opportunity for years to come.”

The Distinguished Young Woman of Ticonderoga Scholarship Program, originally called Junior Miss, was started by the Ticonderoga Jaycees in January 1963. Ticonderoga’s program has offered more than 350 young women the opportunity to share in more than $200,000 in scholarship awards throughout its history.

“At all levels, this scholarship program strives to recognize young women for their leadership in school and community activities,” Cross-Baker said. “The talent showcase celebrates the accomplishments of each young woman and the overall program experience encourages each participant to develop new life skills and to be her best and unique self.”

Ticonderoga Distinguished Young Woman Committee members were Lori Clark, Marge Cross, Tracey Cross-Baker, Linda Leavens, Amy Schryer, Karen Sharkey-Bennett and Brooke Taylor.

Production volunteers for the program included Monica

Lawrence, tabulator; Marc Potter, disc jockey; Douglas Baker, lighting; Stuart Baker, videography; Caron Disbrow, photography; Karen Sheets, tickets; Adele Demers, Claire and Kayla LaFountain, raffle items; and Riley Quigley, stage crew.

Community volunteers who assisted with practice interviews for the program participants werte Brooke Taylor, Monica Lawrence, Elizabeth Hayes, Amy Schryer and Adele Demers.

Cross-Baker said the Ticonderoga American Legion Post 224 hosted a spaghetti dinner fundraising event last fall. The legion will also host a Mother-Daughter Tea fundraiser later this winter, where girls and women of all ages are welcome to attend. Information on tickets will be released later.

Renovated UMC Thrift Shop will have reopening

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – A grand reopening is planned for the Thrift Shop at the Ticonderoga Methodist Church on Wednesday, Jan. 18.

The shop will be open regular hours that day, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and light refreshments will be served.

The shop will continue to be open year-round on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The Thrift Shop at the First United Methodist Church, 1045 Wicker St. (Route 9N) in Ticonderoga is staffed completely by volunteers and is an outreach ministry of the church.

Remodeling and rejuvenation has been happening at the shop over the last few weeks with the handiwork of many dedicated workers, volunteer Margot Anello said.

The shop will continue to feature all its regular fine recycled merchandise at affordable prices, she said.

“New home treasures and clothing for the entire family will be found,” Anello said. “The remodeling will allow shoppers to enjoy their shopping experience and in some ways make it easier to find what they are looking for or find what they didn’t know they even needed.”

The friendly familiar volunteer staff will continue to be present to help shoppers, she said, and everyone is welcome to visit the shop.

During the time the shop has been closed, she said, it was appreciated that donations were not taken to the shop.

Donations of good clean merchandise are once again appreciated on selling days, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., or on Mondays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to noon. For large quantities, call 585-2242

to make an appointment for donating. Income Tax donation forms are available.

Bank, insurance agency combine in Ticonderoga Glens Falls National Bank has purchased the Upstate Agency

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The Ticonderoga Branch of Glens Falls National Bank will be joined by the Upstate Agency under one roof this month.

The bank acquired the insurance agency, which had been on Champlain Avenue in its own offices, and will now move into the bank building at 123 Montcalm St. in downtown Ticonderoga.

The merger will be marked by a New Year’s After Business Mixer sponsored by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19 at the bank.

“The whole main level of the (bank) building has been renovated and both companies are now under one roof,” Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright said. “The mixer will not only launch 2017 for the chamber, but will also showcase the renovations and changes at Glens Falls National Bank and the recently relocated Upstate Agency.”

Attendees will receive a gift bag compliments of Glens Falls National Bank and Upstate Agency, he said.

Ticonderoga Branch Manager Starr Smith said they’re delighted to be working with the chamber on the re-opening.

“We are looking forward to welcoming representatives from area businesses and organizations to see our renovated offices,” said Smith. “Supporting our local economy is important to all of us, and we’re excited that all of the food and prizes are being purchased from local chamber members.”

In addition to the normal door prizes, people will also have the chance to win two gift baskets valued at $150 each, and

three gift certificates of $50 and $100. All products in the baskets and the gift certificates are being purchased by the hosts from local chamber members.

Sponsors providing door prizes are Bridge Point Communication, Glens Falls National Bank, TiNY Wellness Center, Upstate Agency, and the Wagon Wheel Restaurant. Eddie’s Restaurant of Ticonderoga will be serving the appetizers and the Hot Biscuit Diner of Ticonderoga will be providing desserts.

“We invite people to join us as we kick off the New Year,” Courtright said. “We will share information on the positive and productive year ahead, and celebrate with two chamber members their new spaces. We’ll also have a chance to hear from our hosts.”

Upstate Agency, now a subsidiary of Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Company, has been insuring individuals and businesses in the North Country for more than 50 years.

Glens Falls National Bank, serving the region since 1851, is a full-service commercial bank.

“With the recent move, we have been very fortunate to have the offices transformed into a highly professional and welcoming space,” said Tonya Brighenti, a broker at Upstate Agency. “The staff at Glens Falls National has made us feel very welcome and we greatly appreciate it.”

Comedy, Broadway duo in Whitehall charity concert Whitehall Central School is getting a Will and Anthony fundraiser

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

WHITEHALL – The We Care Project, a charity organization that provides school supplies to students at Whitehall Central School, will host a gala charity event there on Saturday, Feb. 11.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets can be reserved by calling 4992812 or by stopping at Putorti’s Market in Whitehall.

The project will host a concert at the Whitehall High School auditorium with guest performers Will and Anthony Nunziata.

Will and Anthony are professional singers and entertainers from New York City who just made their Carnegie Hall debut. After their performance, there will be a reception with hors d’oeuvres and punch in the lobby of the school where concertgoers can greet Will and Anthony.

“We are extremely lucky to have Will and Anthony here,” Event Chairman Cheryl Putorti said. “How did we get two performers of this caliber to come to Whitehall? They are personal friends with one of our committee members, and when they heard about the project, they wanted to help.”

Entertainers, recording artists, funny-men and advocates of arts in education, Will and Anthony Nunziata are a Brooklyn-born, classically trained singing and comedy brother duo.

Will and Anthony performed in two soldout concerts at Carnegie Hall as the headlining artists alongside Broadway stars and recording artists Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway with the New York Pops for their annual holiday concerts last year.

“Additionally, because they are big supporters of arts education in schools, they have agreed to spend Friday, Feb. 10 in the Whitehall High School to work with the Music Department and students,” Putorti said.

“The teachers are working on an assembly

where other area schools can bring their students. This is a unique opportunity for these students to learn from and hear performers like Will and Anthony.”

All money raised from the concert will benefit the We Care Project, a group of business and professional women who work with the teachers, staff, and coaches of Whitehall Central School to help them with their students, Putorti said.

“When they see that a student needs school supplies, clothes, food, glasses, et cetera, they notify the project, which then purchases whatever is needed,” Putorti said. “Because the teachers are with the students all day, they are best positioned to recognize and hear what the needs are.”

Ti Middle School crowns 2017 ‘GeoBee’ winner Student to apply for state bee following local victory TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga Middle School held their 2017 Geography Bee contest on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016. Ten contestants, representing grades 6-8, participated in the local bee.

The championship round pitted last year’s winner Aidan Porter against Elizabeth Rich. Both students were asked the same three questions and the student with the most correct answers was declared the winner. Elizabeth Rich successfully answered one of the questions correctly and became the winner of the 2017 Geography Bee. Second place went to Aidan Porter, third place to Anna McDonald.

Rich will now take a written exam in hopes of being selected to compete at the New York State Geography Bee contest in Albany on March 31. One hundred students from across New York State will be selected.

The winner of the state bee will receive an all expenses paid trip to the 29th annual National Bee in Washington D.C. on May 15. The first place national champion will receive a $50,000 college scholarship, a lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society, including a subscription to National Geographic magazine, and a trip to the Galapagos Islands.

PUTNAM – The Putnam Volunteer Fire Department may have modernized its equipment just in time.

The 15-person department just bought 12 new Avon Deltair SCBA air packs, 15 masks and 24 refillable air bottles using a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters grant.

That replaced aging air bottles that would soon be out of specification with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements, Assistant Fire Chief Dennis Johnson said.

The department got $74,099, with a 5 percent matching funds requirement, Johnson said, to bring the total to $78,000.

He said the new air tanks extend run time to 45 minutes.

“We’re all set for another 15 years,” he said.

“These packs are nice – you can flip a switch to go to room air. That’s an important safety feature.”

He said they’ve applied for another grant, for $52,000, to buy a filling station for the new air packs.

“The new air packs made us compliant,”Johnson said. “Our bottles were outdated. We’d have been out of OSHA compliance at some point. It really did save us.”

The air packs are used by firefighters to enter burning structures.

Three of their old air packs were sold and nine were donated to Dresden Fire Department, to be upgraded and put into use.

Putnam also got an $11,500 grant from International Paper for two automatic defibrillators to use at medical emergencies. Putnam doesn’t have its own ambulance squad, but has a first responder unit that goes directly to the scene when there’s a call. The town contracts with Ticonderoga Emergency Squad for ambulance services.

Johnson said Putnam had 25 fire calls and 25 EMS calls in 2016. They were in service for 410 hours on fire calls and 53 hours on medical calls. The department has 15 active firefighters and nine junior firefighters.

Putnam Fire Department spent 938 hours in training last year, he said. The department also has a Dive Team for water rescues and recoveries.

picture she and her crew hope to complete.

“We’re excited about this opportunity,” she said. “My preference would be to use it (the short) as a presentation piece and shoot the entire thing all at once.”

The panel discussion will be a conversation about the film and the challenges and rewards of independent filmmaking in the Adirondacks.

Panelists are Kelly-Bailey; Joel Plue, producer; John Rayome, the actor playing the adult Robert Garrow; Aengus Andrew, who portrays Robert Garrow as a child; and actors Richard Waddingham and Shawn Michener.

The short is filmed entirely in rural New York, “presenting the true story of Robert Francis Garrow, a serial murderer whose reign of terror paralyzed the North Country between 1960 and 1978,” according to a blurb. “Born in Mineville in 1936, Robert’s childhood was an endless cycle of unimagina- Robert Garrow, the subject of the film named after him. ble horror. As an adult, Robert would become a sadomasochist, rapist and serial killer. The exact number of his victims to this day remains uncertain.”

Garrow was finally captured in Witherbee after he was spotted at the edge of the woods by law enforcement officers and shot. He went on trial in Hamilton County and was convicted of the murder of a camper in Wells, later pleading guilty to other murders.

“At this point, we only have one third of the film shot,” Kelly-Bailey said. “We need help to get this film finished and people can help us by donating.”

A GoFundMe page has been created at gofundme.com/garrow.

The Snowtown Film Festival will present “Garrow” at the Dulles State Office Building Theater in Watertown. The festival is open to the public for an admission charge.

More information is at snowtownfilmfestival.com.

MORIAH

Car wash break-in arrest is made in Port Henry More charges may be ahead for a Hague man jailed for burglaries

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY – One of the men charged with burglarizing the Hague Post Office has now been arrested for allegedly breaking into the Champlain Best Wash in Port Henry.

The coin-operated laundry and car wash on Main Street was burglarized on Dec. 16, 2016.

Stolen were $1,200 in quarters, $400 in coin boxes with locks for each machine, a $1,000 security system, a $30 key box, $100 in door locks for office doors, $200 in car wash locks for coin machines and $200 in vending machine contents, according to State Police.

Keith R. Robinson, 31, of Hague was taken from the Essex County Jail to Moriah Town Court, where he was arraigned for thirddegree burglary. Robinson was sent back to the jail for lack of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond.

He had already been incarcerated in lieu of

bail for second-degree burglary, a felony, and petit larceny, a misdemeanor, for burglary of the U.S. Post Office branch in Hague and a break-in at St. Mary’s Church Rectory in Ticonderoga in December 2016.

Taken from the post office were Christmas gift packages. The rectory thefts included gift cards with money enclosed intended for the priest.

Also arrested for the break-ins were Theodore P. Thompson, 27, and Jenna Carpenter, 29, both of Ticonderoga. Thompson was charged with second-degree burglary,

a felony, and petit larceny, a misdemeanor, and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, while Carpenter was charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and State Police are investigating the post office burglary, in which a door was forced open, and Ticonderoga Town Police are handling the rectory break-in.

Robinson and Thompson remain jailed, while Carpenter has been released.

Village of Port Henry puts new zoning on hold Will modify its planned zoning law

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY – The Port Henry Village Board will hold off on passing its new zoning law while it slims down the document.

Some citizens had complained the proposed 56-page zoning ordinance was too restrictive, although village leaders said it could have been modified as needed for individual businesses when they apply for permits.

The law would have prohibited a brewery in the waterfront district, which Moriah resident Gabriel Jaquish said would have prevented him from opened a planned brew-pub at Van

Annual Beste Scholarship dinner slated SILVER BAY — The annual Mary C. Beste Scholarship Fund Benefit Dinner will be held Saturday, Jan. 14 at the Silver Bay Dining Hall from 5:30 - 7 p.m. The menu will include spaghetti, vegetables, a salad bar and more. Half of the admission proceeds will benefit the Beste Scholarship Fund.

The Beste Scholarship is available to any Hague student who has graduated from Ticonderoga High School and is pursuing further education (including vocational). Beginning

Slooten Harbour Marina.

The village is dissolving on March 31, 2017, so any permit applications would probably have to be made to the Town of Moriah, which will take over village functions and enforcement of its local laws.

The laws remain in effect for two years after dissolution, unless renewed.

At Monday’s Village Board meeting, Mayor Ernest Guerin said he and members of the board have met with planner Nan Stolzenburg of Community Planning and Environmental in Berne in response to concerns about the law. It was Stolzenburg who wrote the law for the village.

“We’re going to do a lot of modifications,” Guerin said. “A lot will be taken out. We’ll cut it down.”

He said there will be an open meeting to go over the law. with the class of 2016, these students will also be eligible to receive an annual Beste award for up to four years of higher education following high school graduation. The Northern Lake George Rotary Club will be holding a silent auction during the dinner to raise money for the club’s community outreach. During the awards portion of the evening the Rotary Club will present their annual donation to the Fund, and scholarship recipients will be named. There will also be a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Fund.

“A lot needs to come out of that, to be simplified, so it’s more user friendly,” the mayor said. “We will get it and get it right.”

A public hearing will then be held before the law is passed, he said.

“At our board meeting in February we can actually put this (zoning law) into effect,” Guerin said.

The board had intended to pass the new law at the January session, but will instead schedule a special meeting to modify it, officials said. Trustee James Currin could not be present for the January meeting, and had asked that the board wait until all were present to vote on the law.

The next regular meeting of the Village Board is at 7 p.m.

Monday, Feb. 13 in the Village Hall. A special meeting hasn’t yet been scheduled.

County still grappling with psychiatrist shortage New arrangement may pull together a variety of service options

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The search continues for a fulltime psychiatrist at the county Office of Mental Health Services.

As a stop-gap measure, Essex County Health and Human Services Committee on Monday approved a pay boost for their part-time staff psychiatrist to $170 from $109 per hour.

The funds have already been appropriated in the department’s annual budget, which was approved by the Essex County Board of Supervisors last month.

Total expenditures will be capped at that amount, reported

Mental Health Director Steve Valley.

While the hourly wage may be high, Valley admitted, the monies will be peeled from the allocated funds they are saving from the lack of a full-time position.

The increase for the staffer, who comes in twice weekly, joins other measures to navigate the vacancy left by Dr. Dov Rapoport, who resigned in October for personal reasons.

Lawmakers also tentatively approved the county purchasing department to go out for RFP for telepsychiatry services.

The salary for the psychiatrist position is $179,000 per year, not including health insurance and fringe benefits.

The board previously approved $26,000 to embark on a search.

“We’re days, maybe hours away, from selecting the (recruiting) firm that will do that,” Valley told lawmakers.

Valley said rural counties across the state are entering un-

charted waters when it comes to navigating new arrangements to make up for the nationwide shortage in mental health professionals.

“Everybody’s scrambling,” he said.

The department may take an a la carte approach and select a number of different options that may work for them, he said, including a heavier reliance on telepsychiatry and qualified psychiatric nurse practitioners.

“I’m in the process of trying to put together what kind of plan can cover the needs of the county,” Valley said. “My idea is to keep this budget we currently have, and maybe we don’t put all our eggs in one basket.”

Lawmakers on the committee unanimously approved the measure.

“Is this psychiatrist available to the board of supervisors?” asked Gerald Morrow (D-Chesterfield). “If so, we better support it.”

A memorial service will be held at a later date at Grace Bible Fellowship in Olmstedville, NY. A graveside service will be held in the spring.

In lieu of flowers, Ken requested memorial contributions to Hawthorne Gospel Church Missionary Fund, representing a lifelong passion of his for missions.

Funeral arrangements are under the directions of The Edward L. Kelly funeral Home 1019 US Rt. 9, Schroon Lake NY. To offer on line condolences please visit edwardlkellyfuneralhome.com.

He is predeceased by his parents, four brothers, a sister and grandson Joshua Lang.

Details announced on Upper Hudson grant program The Nature Conservancy is providing $500,000 in grant funding for small businesses near the Boreas Ponds Tract

NORTH HUDSON — Funds will soon be available for recreation and tourism-based projects connected with former Finch Pruyn parcels in the central Adirondacks.

The Essex County Industrial Development Agency was awarded an Adirondack Park Upper Hudson Recreation Hub Grant last year for a second round of the successful Hub Microenterprise Program.

A public information meeting for potential applicants will be held on Thursday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Long Lake Town Hall.

The total amount awarded for this program, a partnership with Essex and Hamilton counties, is approximately $500,000.

The funds were provided by the Nature Conservancy to strengthen links between communities and conservation lands.

An additional eligibility requirement applies to any entity located outside the five Upper Hudson Recreation Hub communities: a linkage demonstrating real impact on economic activity within these communities most closely tied to the new state-owned lands.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM The MGP was established to provide grants to eligible expansions at start up microenterprise businesses and nonprofit organizations that propose eco-tourism related initiatives in Minerva, Newcomb, North Hudson, Indian Lake and Long Lake.

Qualified applicants will be identified through an application process, and must participate in the Microenterprise Training Program to be held on Jan. 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the North Hudson Town Hall.

The program will be conducted by the North Country Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at a cost of $60 per business (which may be eligible for reimbursement for grant recipients).

The applications will be due on Feb. 16 by noon at the Essex County IDA’s office in Elizabethtown. The timeline for improvements are expected to be completed by Jan. 31, 2018.

GUIDELINES

DEC camper scholarships now available PLATTSBURGH — The Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout Unlimited will again provide scholarships for interested young men and women 11 to 17 years old to attend DEC’s popular summer camp program.

The camps, located at Camp Colby, Pack Forest, DeBruce

The MGP is specifically targeting assistance for entrepreneurs whose business provides visitor services and supports the Upper Hudson Rec Hub tourism industry, such as restaurants, lodging, shops, gear and guides.

The program will provide resolution to small businesses’ lack of access to capital and assist businesses to offer a more relevant mix of wares, goods and services to help improve the viability of the businesses and to become more sustainable and retain and create new jobs.

The MGP will also accept applications from not-for-profit organizations that develop initiatives (services, programming or physical improvements) that complement and attract increased eco-tourism to the Upper Hudson Rec Hub. The MGP will strengthen the linkages between communities and the surrounding Recreational Hub, attract revenue from recreating visitors, enhance the quality of life for the residents and leverage other private funding sources that will maximize the benefit that communities can realize through increased public use of the former Finch/Nature Conservancy lands.

The MGP will address the critical need for new and expanding lodging for visitors attracted to the area. It will also support businesses that cater directly to the recreational visitor (such as bait shops, back country supply shops and other commercial and guide services), located either at nature ac-

cess points or in the community’s center of economic activity and tourist accommodations.

Grants awarded to businesses in the community’s centers can enhance areas that are designed to be market driven and offer the potential for walkability, increased commercial activity, and multiple consolidated quality visitor services in one area, including lodging, restaurants, shops, gear and guides.

A microenterprise is a business that employs 15 or fewer persons, including the owners or a not-for-profit organization located in or providing services in the program area.

To be eligible for assistance, a microenterprise must retain or create jobs. The grant funds can be used for the purchase of inventory, equipment, furniture and fixtures, operational costs, marketing, working capital and start up costs.

Overall, the MPG will significantly improve tourism and recreation related businesses to become sustainable and more economically viable, which will also improve the resident’s quality of life. The first round of MPG provided a total of $100,000 in capital to seven businesses for projects related to equipment, inventory, start-up and other expenses.

For information, contact the Essex County IDA at 8739114. To register for the Micro Training Program, please contact the SBDC at 564-2042.

and Rushford, provide a great opportunity to learn more about the environment and have fun in the summer.

Campers enjoy a week of summer fun and conservation education conducted by DEC’s well-qualified counselors. The scholarships pay all costs to attend. Parents provide transportation to and from the camps for the one-week sessions which are conducted in July and August.

The scholarships are a memorial to Sam Thuesen and Dennis Aprill, outstanding educators, leaders and anglers who devoted their lives to the North Country, and use private funds

provided by Trout Unlimited to assist in youth conservation education.

To apply, send a one-page letter explaining why you want to go to camp to Susie Oliver, 2 Finlay Drive, Plattsburgh, NY 12901 by March 15.

The scholarships are limited to first-time attendees only and are “first come, first served.” Organizers ask that applicants include age, school, and phone number/email address.

For more information for campers and parents, go to dec. education or Google “DEC Summer Camps.”

County CCE now seeking full-time ag educator

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Cornell Cooperative Extension is putting the finishing touches on the job description for their new agricultural educator position.

“Within a week it will be posted and we can advertise,” Franklin County CCE Executive Director Rick LeVitre told lawmakers on Monday.

LeVitre took the reins in Essex County following Anita Deming’s retirement on Jan. 1, where he will serve part-time.

Deming had previously served as a halftime executive director and half-time ag educator.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Board President Jay White said the agency was taking advantage of recent retirements to explore

how they can better serve the community.

Once known as “ag agents,” the agencyemployed staffers have historically played a leading role in advising farmers.

“People really feel that a full-time position is warranted because we really need to build a relationship with the newer farmers moving into this region,” White said.

These transplants have a vested interested in the community and contribute to new businesses and the expansion of the tax base, White said.

“We need to do everything we can to support them,” White said. “We need to be a conduit going out to these new farmers, and all farmers.”

Chief among the agency’s mission is to create relationships and provide the resources they need to succeed, including educational seminars and workshops on securing grant

funding and other financing.

For the past two years, the Essex Farm Institute has taken a leading role in providing these services to area farmers.

White said CCE will meet with ESI, as well as the Adirondack North Country Association, Young Farmers Coalition and other agencies, to discuss how they can work together and complement their services.

“I definitely think there’s a place for each one of these organizations,” said White, who sees CCE taking a leadership role. “The first meeting is establishing what these missions are.

“I don’t think another organization has the breadth of knowledge at their fingertips as extension does.”

A community forum with state CCE reps and specialists is tentatively scheduled to be held at the Whallonsburg Grange in March.

Filling the position is the agency’s top priority this year, LeVitre said, and several local residents have already expressed interest in the job, which carries a $47,500 salary and requires a Master’s Degree.

“We’ve got a great location to sell,” LeVitre said, citing the resurgent agricultural industry in the Champlain Valley.

OTHER BUSINESS LeVitre said he also looks forward to tackling maintenance issues at the CCE headquarters in Westport this year, the condition of which has fallen under increased scrutiny by lawmakers and the general public.

“We’ll need to have some discussions on that,” LeVitre said.

At present, staff are clearing the building of old files and other unnecessary items. Historical records will be saved and preserved.

WalentukÊ takesÊ theÊ helmÊ of Ê SectionÊ VIIÊ sports

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Former Seton Catholic and Lake Placid Athletic Director Matthew Walentuk has been named as the new Interscholastic Athletics Administrator for Section VII. The new position, which he started Sept. 26, assumes the responsibilities of the Section VII Executive Director and Treasurer which is the regional liaison among our regional schools of the CVAC and the MVAC and the NYSPHSAA. As executive director, Walentuk will represent at the state level 27 local school districts’ athletic programs.

“I took on this role because I want to take a position where my focus is to support Section VII student-athletes and member schools,” Walentuk said. “This was an exciting new opportunity for our section and I wanted to continue on with the great work that Karen Lopez (Executive Director) and Joe Staves (Treasurer) were doing.”

“Section VII has had the privilege to have Karen Lopez and Joe Staves lead our region and represent us at state level scholastic athletics for many years. Their service is greatly appreciated, they have lead the way to ensure Matt Walentuk’s success,” Section VII President Chris Mazzella.

Walentuk was also recognized as the New York State Athletic Administrators Association (NYSAAA) Chapter 7 Award recipient in 2015. Currently, Walentuk is the NYSAAA Chapter 7 representative.

Walentuk spent two years as A.D. at Seton before moving to Lake Placid.

“I was also a high school math teacher at Seton and at Lake Placid, I taught middle school math and alternative education,” he said.

Walentuk has been involved in numerous sports as a coach, including football, baseball, softball and basketball.

Working in both the classroom and on the field or court has given Walentuk the insight to relate with the student-athletes

of Section VII both athletically and academically.

“I encourage all those student-athletes to work hard on the practice field, but work even harder in the classroom,” he said.

I was looking at a tweet today from John Rathbun, Section 3 Executive Director, that said, ‘Fewer than seven percent of high school athletes move on to college sports and only three percent earn an athletic scholarship.’ That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t play sports, but if you work hard in the classroom, those dividends will produce a much higher yield.”

Walentuk said he looks forward to working with the athletic coordinators and leaders within the 27 member schools.

“We have a great group of athletic administrators and members of our athletic council,” he said. These people have student-athletes’ best interests in heart. This crop of people is always looking for ways to improve each student-athlete’s interscholastic athletic experience. We all know these are of-

tentimes the most cherished memories of one’s life.”

Walentuk added he feels one of his responsibilities will be to ease the burden of the school athletic administrator.

“I want to make sure that I can do whatever it takes to make each athletic program run as smooth and efficiently as possible,” he said. “If they have a question, they know they can call me and I’ll find out the answer.”

Coming from Lake Placid, Walentuk was in the middle of the most successful sports year ever for Section VII, as Lake Placid brought home NYSPHSAA championships in boy’s cross country and boy’s Nordic skiing, along with a final four appearance by the LPCS boy’s hockey.

“The success of our teams at the state level is a testament to our leagues, coaches, youth programs, club teams, and everyone else that has put time and energy into our youth,” he said.

“With that said, us and Section X are by far the two smallest sections in the state in terms of membership (certainly not area), so it speaks volumes when our schools can compete at a level in which we are constantly seeing success at the state level.”

Perhaps the biggest issue of concern for Walentuk comes from declining enrollment within the member schools, which has already led to merged teams from different schools and in different sports.

“Declining enrollment among our member schools puts a burden on the student-athlete,” he said. “Not only are they playing two or three sports a year, they are in band, chorus, musicals, service organizations, and more. Many of our student-athletes, just like many of our athletic directors, are wearing many hats and that can be stressful at times.”

Walentuk said he hopes to be able to work together with the local administrators to resolve these issues.

Matthew Walentuk has been named the first full-time Interscholastic Athletics Administrator of Section VII, replacing former director Karen Lopez.
