Annnual dinner event coming to Schroon March 12

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON LAKE — Attention sportsmen — the “best sportsmen’s dinner event in the North Country” is right around the corner.

Outdoor enthusiasts can say goodbye to cabin fever by joining hundreds of other likeminded people at the 21st annual Adirondack Sportsmen’s Dinner, March 12, from 9:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Mountainside Bible Chapel, 165 State Route 9, Schroon Lake.

Along with being known as the “best sportsmen’s dinner event in the North Country,” the event also helps mark “the first sign of Adirondack spring,” Organizers said.

The day is packed full of outdoor related seminars, great food, exhibits, prizes and the

gospel message shared by this year’s keynote speaker, Randy Flannery, master outdoorsman of Wilderness Escape Outfitters.

“Everybody attending has the opportunity to fill their cup with knowledge,” said Flannery.

Admission is free; the event is donation supported by locally and regionally owned businesses as well as churches and individuals. Sportsmen must be 12-years-old or older to attend.

Tony Tenda, event coordinator, said they’ve never charged admission to this event because they believe sharing the gospel, which is their main mission, should be free.

“For 21 years, we’ve had 500 people hear the clear message of the gospel and that’s why we do it,” Tenda said.

Tenda said there’s a lot of hard work and preparation before the event, but the actual day of the event is a lot of fun. >> See Sportsmen | pg. 22

TiNADA presentation on heroin, opiate problem March 8 mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Heroin and opiate addicts don’t start using with the intention of getting addicted, but with these substances, they usually do.

The Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse (TiNada) Coalition is hosting two presentations on March 8, both titled “Understanding Heroin and Prescription Opiate Addiction,” at the Ticonderoga ElementaryMiddle School cafeteria, 116 Alexandria Ave. Both presentations (one afternoon and one evening) are geared toward two different audiences, but they are free of charge and open to all.

Refreshments will be available.

The guest speaker is Michael Nerney, a consultant in substance abuse prevention and education. Nerney has over 30 years of experience in the field and his particular areas of expertise include Psychopharmacology, Adolescent Chemical Dependency, Relapse Prevention and Managing Violent Incidents.

During both presentations, Nerney will be discussing the science and effects addiction has on the human brain, particularly throughout adolescence.

He will also cover understanding addiction is a brain disease, the challenges in breaking this type of addiction, and the support people need for a successful recovery.

“What he presents is very important, how he presents it is very engaging,” said Doug Terbeek, executive director for the Prevention Team.

Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns said the reason the speaker is coming is to help the community understand heroin and prescription opiate addictions.

Terbeek said the presentations are mostly lecture, but very interesting and with the presentation, the coalition is trying to help people understand this is a brain disease.

“We’re trying to make a dent in the stigma of people [suffering with this addiction],” he said.

Johns added many people, if not everyone, has a friend or family member effected by an addiction.

“Ticonderoga isn’t unique,” Johns said. “We have the same problems as other communities.

The difference is the coalition is coming up with local solutions for local problems.”

The first presentation is from 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. and will be geared toward social services, healthcare, education, public safety and prevention and treatment professionals.

The second presentation is from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. and will be geared towards parents, friends, family members and concerned citizens.

Keep an eye out for a flyer coming in the mail with more information about this event or contact TiNada at 518-585-3080 or tinada@ townofticonderoga.org.

Mending fences

n last week’s Republican Primary Debate I heard one candidate, on one issue, say something that resonated with me and I feel is the single most missing ingredient from politics today.

The subject that brought about the comment was the struggle between Apple and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Of course, we know them as just the FBI. The FBI is in possession of the Apple iPhone used by one of the two terrorists who killed 14 people in San Bernardino last fall.

The FBI is asking for Apple’ help to create a tool that would circumvent a feature that deletes all of the information on the phone after 10 failed password attempts.

Apple is refusing, claiming the request is far more reaching than one phone and places all their customers worldwide that depend on the privacy of their iPhone at great risk.

As a result, the FBI is going to take Apple to court in an effort to force them to comply. In turn the media and social media are abuzz taking sides.

John Kasich, presidential candidate and governor of Ohio, demonstrated his leadership skills when he basically said, leaders solve problems by getting involved.

Kasich claims he would ask James Comey, director of the FBI and Tim Cook, CEO of Apple to join him in a room where they would lock the door and keep it locked until they found a solution. No game of chicken or winner take all, just work out a solution acceptable to each side.

Shouldn’t our leaders be willing to inject themselves directly into any major issue facing the country? Not for the PR value but strictly for the purpose of solving national problems and unifying the country with the direction we are taking.

In my lifetime, perhaps the best example of a president who was able to side step a major crisis through back channel diplomacy was President Kennedy with the Cuban Missal Crisis back in the 60’s. Both sides avoided humiliation and both sides were able to claim a victory, which trumped thermonuclear war.

When we consider how polarized our national political parties have become and the number of national and world issues that are currently reaching a boiling point, a level headed leader willing to risk their own reputation to mend fences, seek solutions and solve problems would be a welcomed sight on the world scene.

$15 minimum wage not the answer to remedying New York’s income inequality

C

all it the Hot Air Express.

Last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo embarked on a statewide bus tour to promote his push for a minimum wage of $15 per hour.

The “Drive for $15” tour, which began in Manhattan and made stops in the Bronx, Long Island and Albany, is part of an aggressive campaign to push state legislators into supporting the proposed increase before the budget deadline of March 31.

If approved, the wage would be incrementally boosted to $15 per hour by 2019 in New York City and by 2021 everywhere else, making it the highest rate in the nation.

We’re surprised the Cuomo Coach didn’t total itself.

Like driving a bus, operating the state government must be tough with blinders on.

Since formally rolling out the proposal last fall, Cuomo has misrepresented the debate, falsely painting it as an Occupy Wall Street-type battle between workers and the 1 percent.

The reality is that small business owners and rural governments simply cannot accommodate a 67 percent rise in payroll costs.

Let’s back up for a minute.

The governor’s camp, including the labor unions who are bankrolling the bus tour, says the hike will reduce income inequality and incentivize fair business practices.

Boosting base pay, say advocates, will also reduce reliance on state and federal welfare programs and generate economic vitality through increased consumer spending.

Here in the North Country, $278 million is projected to be reinvested back into the local economy, according to a report prepared by the governor’s office.

Furthermore, say proponents, if the minimum wage was indexed to the inflation rate, it would be at $15 today.

Critics, including the Business Council of New York State, say the policy will lead to inflation and will cost the state at least 200,000 jobs, a development that would add more people to the welfare rolls.

The wage is the highest it has been in 37 years, say opponents, who also point out that restaurant growth has slowed to a crawl in areas that have approved comparable hikes, including the Seattle and San Francisco metropolitan areas.

Deputy Senate Majority Leader John DeFrancisco called $15 a “political number,” while E.J. McMahon, head of the conservative-leaning think tank the Empire Center, said the state’s minimum wage briefly peaked in 1970 at the equivalent of $11.30 — not $15.

Who’s right?

The effects of such a drastic wage increase are hotly contested between economists. Both sides are armed to the teeth with studies bolstering their case, and both concede that it may be too early to discern the ramifications.

But Cuomo has framed the battle in populist terms, attacking “corporations” and free-market conservatives as boogeymen trying to deprive workers of the American Dream.

“Raising the minimum wage is about fundamental fairness and decency — it’s about restoring the promise of the American Dream in the Empire State,” said Cuomo at the Albany rally last week. “We’re driving all around this state to rally support around raising the minimum wage to $15, and we will not stop until every working man and woman is on board this fight for economic justice.”

The governor has refused to budge and acknowledge the situation is more

broader and complex, instead leaning on inflammatory rhetoric that is mischaracterizing the debate.

Harnessing the language of Occupy Wall Street is a false equivalent and a disingenuous argument that has cast a chill across the North Country.

Critics, including 93 percent of the businesses surveyed by the North Country Chamber of Commerce, aren’t focused on the governmental intrusion aspect, but rather the catastrophic effects it will have on the upstate economy, which continues to struggle and is not positioned to accommodate the shift like larger cities with a more dynamic labor market and educated workforce.

Second, fast food operators are operated by franchisees who bore the cost — not corporate headquarters, as the governor is fond of pointing out.

The governor has also said nothing on how a 67 percent payroll increase would affect farmers, nonprofits, school districts and local governments, whose budgets are already gobbled up by unfunded mandates as they struggle to stay under the tax cap.

While the governor has offered a $350 million tax cut package for the small businesses who have said the policy will result in reduced hours, layoffs, increased prices and automation, details remain scant.

Despite the mounting evidence that the policy requires future study, Cuomo is refusing to acknowledge these arguments as his “Drive for $15” bus continues to chug through upstate.

This refusal to debate such a sweeping policy is willful ignorance.

Cuomo has said he wants New York to serve as a nationwide model for progressive policies. But we’re not an experimental laboratory for liberal tinkering — we’re a struggling state at the precipice, ranked second-to-last for the worst business climate in the nation.

Income inequality is a problem. But as our elected officials have pointed out, a better solution to remedy the issue is the Earned Income Tax Credit program, which, when combined with other tax credits and benefits, can boost a single parent’s income from $18,000 to $30,000 annually.

According to the Empire Center, the combined federal, state and city tax credit in New York averages nearly $3,000, but it can reach as much as $8,427 in cash. The EITC program is, in effect, a tax refund, making it less damaging than a minimum wage hike that will have to be born by business owners and taxpayers.

Alternatively, New York can explore a staggered approach to boosting the minimum wage, like the system approved by Oregon’s state legislature last month that will used a tiered system based on population density.

Doing so, say economists, will address the concerns that rural areas will struggle to absorb the projected decrease in jobs that will come with increased labor costs.

Governor Cuomo is at his best when he rallies New Yorkers to unite under a common cause.

We have no doubt that his heart is in the right place. Cuomo is a brawler who never shies away from a fight, a trait we admire. But in a state cleaved by the upstate-downstate divide that characterizes all policy discussions, the governor should take a serious look at exploring these alternatives before driving the state in the ditch with such a rushed policy.

A measured approach would benefit all New Yorkers — not those bankrolling this ill-conceived campaign.

MinimumÊ wageÊ hike

To the Editor: In the Feb. 13th issue of The Sun there was an article titled “Minimum wage hike taking bite out of restaurants.” It discussed the wage increase for tipped servers, as well as the proposed mandated increase of minimum wage to $15/hour by 2018. The article goes on to say that 87 percent of upstate businesses are opposed to the pay hike.

When owners in this industry complain about being able to afford a mandated pay hike (which, by the way, probably wouldn’t be happening if you paid a fair wage to start) they need to ask themselves how much they lose in staff turnover and staff management, and then ask themselves if they can afford to pay more.

Not paying your staff results in: high staff turnover, the employee vs business mentality (staff not feeling appreciated), apathy (the “I don’t get paid enough for that attitude”).

The aforementioned directly affect businesses’ profit margin. In my fifteen years in the industry I have heard the same song from owners, cry poverty when it comes to discussing pay at the time of hire, or when raises are the topic. The whining continues when they say, “I can’t get or keep good help.” Anybody with any discernible degree of ambition will look to work where they are properly compensated and feel valued. Pay is the threshold for acquiring competent, committed staff. If you can’t pay your people well, you shouldn’t be in business.

HelicoptersÊ areÊ safeÊ andÊ savedÊ manyÊ VietnamÊ Vets

To the Editor: In response to Stiling Knight of Huletts Landing letter to the editor dated Feb. 20, about his theory that helicopters are too dangerous to transport passengers. As a helicopter pilot that flew the UH-1 HUEY helicopter in Vietnam and for several years after Vietnam I will put this all into proper perspective.

Helicopters do fly and the “sideways mounted propeller on the tail section” or “Tail Rotor” allows for that. Mr. Knight is correct in that the purpose of the tail rotor is to allow for straight and level flight. If the tail rotor failed while at a hover in ground effect it is still possible to get the helicopter safely on the ground with minimal damage by the proper use of the collective which controls pitch in the main rotor blade and the proper use of the throttle which would cause “torque” through the engine to momentarily stop any rotation of the main body of the helicopter. Losing the tail rotor during flight it is still possible to get the helicopter safely back on the ground. The forward airspeed of the helicopter would keep the body of the helicopter in a semi-straight forward motion with no spinning allowing for a running landing like a fixed wing aircraft. During this “running landing” sequence the helicopter will have a tendency to want to veer off to the left as it skids down the airstrip or ground.

In a Huey Helicopter the pilot would assist in this left movement by moving the cyclic in the same direction the helicopter is going and then lowering the collective to stop the helicopter. Helicopters have saved more people than the number that have died in helicopter crashes. Vietnam is a prime example. If it were not for the helicopter many thousands more men would have died on the battlefield for the lack of getting them to a medical facility in a timely manner.

The ability of a helicopter to hover is also the reason for the successful evacuation of victims caught in various situations such as stuck in a tree in the middle of a raging river or stranded out in the middle of the ocean allowing our Coast Guard to save countless others. The number of traffic victims on our nation’s highways that were saved by the helicopter is testimony of the value of the helicopter.

Hep-CÊ clinicÊ bringsÊ outÊ manyÊ vetsÊ To the Editor: This past weekend American Legion Post 1619 in West Plattsburgh held the first outreach testing ever in the State of New York for Vietnam era veterans at high risk of Hepatitis-C. The event was a huge success, far beyond any expectations with 401 veterans tested, over five percent of all Clinton County Vietnam vets in under two days. This is most likely a record for veteran HCV outreach testing anywhere in this country ever.

Post 1619 wishes to express our gratitude to all the fine volunteers and dedicated members of our Post who helped make this happen. Mostly, our deepest thanks to CVPH Hospital of the UVM Health Care Network, without whose exemplary cooperation and support this could never have been accomplished. Interim Laboratory Director Ron Brown and Supervisor Peter Mullen went above and beyond the call of duty to provide the finest staff of lab technicians and medical volunteers available anywhere, a number of whom reflected that this was life changing for them.

A very special thanks to a quiet hero, Chaplain Ron Wood of Legion Post 20 who was there both days counseling every single veteran being tested and performing a remarkable job of providing spiritual unity and compassion for all present.

To the vets that turned out, this was for many more then just a medical test. We took one drop of blood from each of the 401 veterans tested. In exchange for that one drop of blood, we replaced it with the assurance that America cares about these brave men and women who served in such a difficult time and such a despised war. We showed them that their service will never be forgotten, that their fellow veterans still have their backs, and that we will now and forever be a Band of Brothers.

And while we were at it, we saved a number of lives.

Danny Kaifetz, American Legion Post 1619

EssexÊ residentsÊ needÊ toÊ workÊ together

To The Editor: As a Town of Essex resident, I read with interest your editorial, “A Tiny Town with Not-So-Tiny Problems”. While you expressed numerous con-

cerns about the current town administration being “opaque, cynical and clannish”, I was equally struck by your observation of the tensions between “newcomers” and the “old guard” in Essex.

This observation corresponds with my experience in last fall’s town council election where some candidates and their supporters spoke of mistrusting the “newcomers” in the race. There has been and remains speculation that “newcomers” have, as you describe, “ulterior motives” for their involvement in the Essex community. But this sentiment is not new.

The history of Essex is replete with stories of “newcomers” coming here to develop its landscape and create new opportunities but I’m sure the original “old guard” (Native Americans) had a lot to say about that progress.

When the “newcomers” (the British) took control from the “old guard” (the French) in the 1700’s, there were plenty of tensions. But that provided “newcomer” William Gilliland (from New York City) the opportunity to permanently settle our area.

From 1800 onwards, a treasure trove of “newcomers” came to Essex to build saw and grist mills, tanneries and distilleries; establish iron, shipbuilding and nail factories; and provide legal, medical and spiritual services for the “old guard”. Somewhere along the way, the “newcomers” became the “old guard” without even knowing it.

Today, “newcomers” have transformed and revitalized the Whallonsburg Grange into a cultural and entertainment mecca; invested in and preserved countless historical architectural gems; and have returned Essex to being an innovative agricultural leader.

To me, the current tensions between “newcomers” and the “old guard” are not about good versus evil, or as you described, between light and dark.

The tensions are simply about the lack of trust. Whether a resident has lived in Essex for twelve months or twelve generations, we must all respect each other and trust that we all want what is best for our community.

While you point out legitimate concerns about how the “old guard” is currently administering our town, rhetoric of “epic battles” will not bring us together and create trust. The “old guard” must understand that “newcomers” have legitimate ideas for improvement. “Newcomers” must respect the past and honor the service of all those who have gone before. Together, with trust, Essex will thrive and prosper.

WhatÊ economy?

To the Editor: I’ve always looked at the economy like a child’s lemonade stand. You find or make or acquire a product, you sell it for more than it costs you to buy/ make/produce it.. (That includes time and labor), and you make a profit.

That’s what we used to do in America.

Then came socialism. What if someone could not afford lemonade? What if the folks hired to sell the lemonade needed more money to live? Good questions, so, where the lemonade used to cost a dime a cup, now it costs $1 a cup, unless you have no money, then you get it free. And two weeks later, the lemonade stand closes. That’s what we have now. Lotta vacant buildings, higher prices per unit for food, and over 100 million US workers unemployed. And more on the way. Less rail traffic, less ship traffic, less hospital rooms, and less doctors. And more debt.

If we had all the US dollars there are in the world, we still could not pay off our debt... Glad I’m old...

COMMENTARY

Little Bits And so it’s March Gordie Little

Columnist

S

o, now it’s March. Big deal, you say. How much stock do you place in the centuries-old adage, “In like a lion; out like a lamb?” For me, it’s just a matter of hope. I hope for nice weather at the end of the month, no matter how it started.

Predicting, based on the lion and lamb model, is at least as good as using a groundhog and his shadow. Based on the historical mildness of this winter, I’m not complaining.

This is the month we look forward to clocks moving ahead, the official first day of spring, Easter and a sports season called March Madness. I can find lots to be happy about in March.

I looked across the room to Kaye as I was writing this and asked her what she most looked forward to in the springtime. The answer was instant: “Digging in the dirt.” I agree. Our green thumbs are revealed and we’re in heaven holding our trowels and hoes.

I’m ahead of myself. That won’t be happening here in Morrisonville for months. However, as soon as morning temperatures reach 50 degrees or more, can you guess where we’ll take our morning coffee? Yes. Out to our screened-in back deck on the edge of the Saranac River. For us, it’s nirvana.

March conjures up fun history for me and I’m delighted to share it. March was originally the Latin Maritus and was part of the old Roman Calendar; but it was the first month rather than the third.

The Roman god of war was Mars, for whom the month was named.

March 1 is also National Pig Day in America, but that’s another story entirely and is only significant if you want to celebrate pigs.

If you were born in March, it’s less complicated than February 29 in a leap year. Your birthstone is aquamarine. Your birth flower?

Daffodil.

Now, let’s get down to the really important stuff. “Mad as a March hare” is a phrase that can be traced back to at least the 16th century. Female rabbits were said to go a little nutsy-cuckoo during this time of year when they were in heat. Without going into detail, they were observed to jump up and down and use their front feet to fight off enthusiastic suitors.

That’s why Lewis Carrol developed his odd-acting male character called the March Hare in his Alice books, immortalized later in movies and on television. My mother often called me “harebrained” but I doubt that she was referring to mating season.

Now for the trivia question most of you won’t be able to answer without checking Lewis Carrol’s books. What was the Alice character March Hare named?

Give up? I did, too, until I looked it up. Answer: “Haigha.” If anybody ever offers you big money to pronounce it correctly, take my word for it, Carrol himself said it rhymes with “mayor.”

Happy March.

3-year-old girl donates hair to Pantene program

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — For 3-year-old Kadence Edson, her first major haircut wasn’t just about a new hair style or getting rid of her long locks. It was about being able to give some of her hair to someone without any.

On Feb. 16, 10 inches of Kadence’s hair was put in a ponytail and cut off to be donated to an organization that makes real-hair wigs for cancer patients.

Kate Edson, Kadence’s mom, said she and her husband Nathan have always liked their daughter’s long hair, which grows about an inch a month. Up until this point, they’ve just trimmed it, but the length was getting to be a little too much.

Before the haircut, they explained to Kadence that some people don’t have hair and asked her if she’d like to help them out.

Kadence responded with an excited “I can give my hair to someone who doesn’t have hair!”

She first suggested their male neighbor, who has a very short haircut, Kate said with a smile.

But once her parents explained how another little girl who might need hair could

get hers, Kadence was excited to donate and said, “It makes me feel better.”

“She knows she made a good choice and we’re proud of her,” Kate said.

They searched online for an organization and chose Pantene’s “Beautiful Lengths” program. Kate and Nathan said they chose this one because the wigs end up being free for cancer patients.

“We’re helping someone who needs it,” Kate said. “It’s a gift; someone shouldn’t have to pay for it, especially for someone with cancer.”

According to their website, Pantene believes real-hair wigs signify hope for women battling cancer. The goal of the program, which began in July 2006, is to “make it possible for women everywhere to share their hair with women who’ve lost theirs.” They’ve “partnered with the American Cancer Society to make and distribute the wigs.”

Because of their partnership, Pantene’s “Beautiful Lengths” has “donated 42,000 real-hair wigs to the national American Cancer Society Wig Bank.”

Kadence’s hair will help to make more.

Irishman of the Year to be named St. Mary’s pastor to be honored TICONDEROGA — Lá Fhéile Phádraig shona duit.

For those who don’t speak Gaelic, it means Happy St. Patrick’s Day — a greeting certain to be heard at the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus as the fraternal organization will host its annual Irishman of the Year dinner and roast Saturday, March 12.

Fr. Kevin McEwan, pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Ticonderoga, will be feted as the 2016 Irishman of the Year.

McEwan was selected by Knights for his contributions to the parish and, particularly, for his efforts to rebuild St. Mary’s School, according to Grand Knight Tom Blanchard.

A corned beef dinner will be served at 6 p.m. and the Irishman of the Year will be honored — or roasted — at 7 p.m.

Tickets, priced at $15, will be available at the door. Tickets can also be purchased in advance by calling the Knights of Columbus at 585-6520. Proceeds will support St. Mary’s Church and St. Mary’s School.

The event is open to the public.

A suspicious fire totally destroyed St. Mary’s School in September 2014. Students were forced to attend classes in the basement of St. Mary’s Church and at the First United Methodist Church during the 2014-15 school year while the Catholic school was reconstructed. Students returned to class at St. Mary’s School last fall.

Ticonderoga’s Irishman of the Year dinner has been held for more than 20 years. It started as a Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce function and was eventually taken over by the Knights of Columbus.

Pictured here is three-year-old Kadence Edson, getting her first major haircut in order to donate 10 inches to Pantene’s “Beautiful Lengths” for a real-hair wig to be made for a cancer patient.

Morette case << Continued from | p. 1

behalf of the Cleveland Logging and Steady.

Morette, who was 60 on the morning of Dec. 2, 2009, was struck at approximately 5 a.m. while jogging near the intersection of Shore Airport Road and NYS Route 22.

Representing Morrette’s family, attorney Brian Breedlove of Breedlove & Noll, LLP, released to The Sun legal briefs and depositions given by numerous witnesses, including those of Steady that were part of the civil suit.

While there was no admission of guilt as part of the civil settlement, statements made

by Steady seem to conflict with those of other eye witnesses. A number of witnesses also testified that prior to dying, Morette described the tractor trailer truck that hit him as one very similar to the truck driven by Steady.

Not in question is wether Steady was at or very near the scene when Morette was hit, however in his statement to police Steady blamed the accident on another motorist driving a gold Mazda, and then later told a witness the car was red.

Steady also told police the Mazda remained at the scene following his departure along with other vehicles and said he saw a “crowd of people,” all of which runs contrary to statements given by those first at the scene.

Steady’s statement Steady told his account of the events of Dec. 2, 2009, to members of the Ticonderoga Police Department three days after Morrette was hit.

At the time, Steady said he had been an employee of the company for about two years, working for his father, Joseph Cleveland.

Steady said his day started at 3 a.m., when he left the Johnsburg garage in his1998 Western Star logging truck with pup trailer before stopping to fuel up at the Nice-N-Easy in Pottersville, where he stayed for 15-20 minutes.

The color of the truck was blue with three white stripes on the doors.

After stopping for Fuel, Steady continued to Ticonderoga, passing the McDonald’s intersection and heading toward Shore Airport Road.

Steady said in his statement to police that when he got about 500 feet from the intersection of Shore Airport Road, he, “saw a vehicle blow through the stop sign coming off from Shore Airport Road. It looked to be going about 15 miles per hour. I saw the headlights bounce. The car turned left onto NYS Rte. 22/74. It looked like a gold Mazda MPV but I’m not exactly sure. I saw the breaklights come on, the backup lights come on then the brake lights went off. I then saw the driver side door come open.”

Steady said the car in question was in the middle of the intersection when it stopped and he could see a body lying at the back end passenger side of the vehicle.

“He was not talking or anything,” Steady’s statement reads. “I don’t remember what he was wearing only that he had an orange reflective safety vest.”

Steady then said he went around the car and noticed the windshield had the appearance of being broken (“it just didn’t look right”).

Then he approached the driver, which he described as a female between 5’4” and 5’5” and 140 pounds with dark hair just below the shoulders, wearing a sports blazer and pleated slacks. He said she addressed him, saying she thought it was a deer.

TimelineÊ of Ê Dec.Ê 2,Ê 2009

Taken from witness depositions and testimony released as part of civil suit:

3 a.m. — Christopher Steady leaves the Cleveland Logging Company for his daily run, stops at Pottersville Nice-N-Easy for gas before heading towards Ticonderoga

Tony Morette was killed in a hit-and-run accident Dec. 2, 2009, while running near Shore Airport Road in Ticonderoga. While no criminal charges have been filed, the Morette family recently settled with Cleveland Logging and driver Christopher Steady.

“I tried calming her down and getting her name,” Steady said. “Neither idea worked. I had her get a pen and I dug into my pocket...

I wrote down my name, cell number, my company name, and company phone number and gave her the paper. I told her I was headed to the (International Paper) mill and if anyone needed to get a hold of me they could call me.”

As he left, Steady said a truck and SUV showed up to the scene, and then said he saw two other vehicles parked before leaving.

“I saw in my mirror that a crowd of people was near the car but nobody was near the body,” he said. “As I was looking in the mirror I could see at least three blue glowing things in the peoples hands that I recognized as cell phones. I soon decided to drive away thinking someone had contacted 911.”

Steady said he got to the mill between 4:50 and 4:55 a.m., and was weighed in around 5:25 a.m. He stated he made three phone calls while he was there, one to his brother, one to a fellow driver and one to his wife. He left the mill around 6:30 a.m. and saw no one at the site when he left, heading toward Blue Ridge Road in North Hudson.

“I’m willing to cooperate with this investigation to the fullest,” Steady said at the end of his deposition. “Anything I can do to help. I’m willing to take a polygraph test if necessary. I hope the police catch the person responsible and get the book thrown at him/her.”

Steady later declined to take a polygraph test.

Conflicting stories David Carr of Crown Point told members of the Ticonderoga Police Department he was on his way to the Ticonderoga Elks Lodge at 5 a.m. the morning of Dec. 2 to have coffee with his fellow members of the “5 a.m. Club.”

Carr said he took his normal route into town, coming down the mill road toward the hamlet, stopping to look both ways before crossing the intersection, where he reported there were no cars in the area.

“Upon starting across the road I noticed something in the road to my left which I first assumed to be something that had fallen from someone’s truck,” Carr said. “As I drove slowly by, I realized that it may be a person lying in the road.”

Carr said he then stopped to check for sure,

5:04 a.m. - David Carr sees a person in the road and stops. He reports no other vehicles in the area.

5:07 a.m. Accident reported.

4:50 - 4:55 a.m. — Steady arrives at IP Mill after coming across the scene of an accident he said was between an SUV and unresponsive pedestrian. Steady said several cars were there when he left.

Approx. 5:10 a.m. Matthew Watts with Lamoille Ambulance arrives onscene, speaks with Morette who asks to be moved and allowed to get up.

5:08 a.m. — Steady makes a call to his wife, Holly, telling her he just saw an accident. and had called 911 from the mill.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

glancing quickly at his automobile’s clock, which read 5:04 a.m., between nine and 14 minutes after Steady said he was on the scene.

Carr said by the time he got out of the car, two more vehicles had stopped and were approaching the person in the road.

“None of us had a cellphone but I recognized the individual as Tony Morette of Ticonderoga,” Carr said. “I told those standing there to continue to direct traffic and I would continue onto the Elks Lodge to call 911.”

Carr said when he reached the lodge, the call had already been placed to emergency services. He listened to the police scanner then drove back to the scene.

In a deposition by Robert Johnston, one of the people Steady spoke directly to on Dec. 2, Johnston said as he was leaving the mill at approximately 5:33 a.m., he saw Steady’s rig pull up to the scale. Steady told Johnston a red car had blown through the intersection, cutting him off, then bouncing and coming to a stop.

He described the occupant to Johnston as a woman with blonde hair who gave him her information before the two left the scene, leaving the body in the roadway.

In the deposition, Johnston said he believed Steady was involved in the incident and left the scene because, “he was scared and did not want to be tested for drugs.” Johnston said Steady was known to have pot in his truck.

In all, lawyers for the defense noted 11 calls made by Steady after the time of the accident, including several to Johnston and one to Steady’s wife, Holly, which he made at 5:08 a.m., approximately one minute after the accident occurred according to police.

“My husband... called me at home and said that he had just witnessed a car hitting a jogger,” Holly told Ticonderoga officer Dan Lafrance and BCI investigator Marshall Rocque Dec. 4. “He said that the car had a smashed windshield and there was blood all over the place. My husband don’t usually call me at that time in the morning.”

“He sounded very upset,” she continued.

“He said he called 911 and the company he works for. Chris called me from the Ticonderoga Paper Co. He said police officers with K-9 dogs were going truck to truck checking bumpers at the mill. My husband didn’t say whether or not he stopped to render help (in a single-crossed out line previous to the last sentence, the hand-written text appears to say ‘My husband stated he didn’t stop to render help’).”

She said she tried to speak to her husband at home that evening, but he refused.

“I told Chris that the jogger had died. He said, ‘no (explitive).’ He ate his supper and went to bed. My husband refuses to speak to me about the accident.”

Holly Steady added he never shared with her a description of the car or jogger.

Responders’ statements In testimony taken March 12 of last year, Matthew Watts, working with Lamoille Ambulance Services, said he responded to a page at about 5 a.m., arriving to the scene and seeing Patrolman Quesnel there.

Watts said Quesnel pointed out Morette, who Watts said he had known most of his life.

“He was trying to move around a little bit,” Watts said in testimony. “His arms were moving... He said he just wanted to get up.”

EMT Roderic Kenyon also said Morette wanted to move.

5:30 a.m. — Johnston sees Steady pull up to the scales. Steady then speaks to Johnston about the incident via CB radio.

5:25 a.m., approx. — Steady weighed in at paper mill. Between 5:20 and 5:25 a.m., Cleveland driver Robert Johnston reports receiving a call from Steady, which he did not answer

6:30 a.m. — Steady leaves the mill, sees nothing at the intersection.

“I tried to stabilize Tony’s head,” Kenyon said in a Dec. 17, 2009 deposition. “He was combative. He was moving his legs, moving his head back and forth and flailing his arms.

He said he needed to sit up and stretch... He was alert and he knew where he was and stuff, yeah,” “I heard Tony say he wanted to get up,” said EMT Joelle Stonitsch in another Dec. 17, 2009 deposition.

Kenyon, Stonitsch and Anne Taylor-Robinson all said Morette related to them he was hit by a “blue tractor trailer.” Watts joined them in saying Morette asked several times for people to contact his wife and a priest because he felt he was going to die.

“He kept talking the whole way to the hospital saying he wanted us to call a priest and his wife,” Taylor-Robinson said in a Dec. 17, 2009 statement. “After we got to the hospital Tony kept asking for a priest and his wife...

Mike told him to keep his eyes open because his wife was on the way.”

Open case Although the civil suit was settled, to date there has been no one formally charged in the death of Tony Morette.

Both Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns and Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said they did not want to comment on an open case. Former District Attorney Julie Garcia, who was in her last month in office in December of 2009, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Settlement << Continued from | p. 1

Morette, 60, was found lying on the side of the road just after 5 a.m. by three men who were on their way to go hunting. He was still conscious when emergency personnel arrived and able to give a description of the tractor-trailer that struck him.

He later died of internal injuries at Moses Ludington Hospital.

The civil suit included circumstantial evidence that pointed to Christopher Steady as the driver of a blue tractor trailer truck that allegedly hit Morette.

However, Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns said “We have never closed that case with an arrest or a definitive suspect named.”

“The Ticonderoga Police Department has not publicly named Mr. Steady as the person of interest,” he added.

Johns said police do have a person of interest in the investigation based on inconsistencies given to law enforcement during interviews and statements.

But without a conviction, Morette’s family members have been wondering everyday for the last 6 years if Steady was indeed the driver of the vehicle that struck Anthony, and they siad they relive the pain of Morette’s death every day.

“All these years not knowing if it was him or if it was someone else...” Susan Morette, Anthony’s widow said. “It actually got harder. You relive it every day and you just want some closure.”

Susan said with a civil suit, there’s a little bit of closure, but said there’s still no confession. The case was settled for $650,000, but Susan said filing the suit was not about money, it was about obtaining justice and closure.

“I think we’d probably feel better if we got that,” she said.

Ann Morette, Anthony’s sister, said the trial brought back many memories.

“To see his vest... I keep seeing him in the ER, I keep seeing our priest there,” she said. “I can’t imagine the terror he must have felt, laying there by himself.”

Ann said she is pleading for definitive answers.

“Please just tell us,” she said in an interview with The Sun. “Free us from this pain... did you hit him? We just want to know.”

When asked if she could forgive the driver, Ann said “We need to forgive others as Christ forgave us. Yes I forgive him, I don’t want to hate. Just tell us...”

“To hate, eats you alive,” she added.

“I’ve gotta let go of the pain,” she added.

“But I don’t know how...”

EYE ON THE ARTS

Salt of the Earth

F

or whatever reason, I have never been interested in what many call the finer things.

Glamour, decadence, lavishness; it seems foreign. One of the things I love most about the North Country is that everything is accessible. Most events are open to the public, they’re free, they are all ages. Even something that may seem daunting or sophisticated – an exhibit opening, for example – somehow ends up having a friendly atmosphere open to every level of art appreciation. If there is one thing to be said about us, it is that the area is unwaveringly authentic, unpretentious. We are the salt of the Earth.

ROTA Studio and Gallery’s Music Mayhem March kicks off this weekend with performances by hip hop artist Uni V Sol, Adrian Aardvark and Plattsburgh Home Team on March 5. The following night will host Montreal-based art rock group La Tragédie and improv-punk band Doomf��k. Music Mayhem’s finale will feature experimental folk singer Marian McLaughlin and singer/songwriter Theresa Hartford on March 7. All shows in this three day block will start at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are on a $3-10 sliding scale. Attendees are encouraged to pay what they can afford.

PossumHaw will perform at the Grange in Whallonsburg on March 5. The band plays an energized, authentic brand of bluegrass and folk guided by the vocals and songwriting of Colby Crehan. The show will start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for minors.

What happens when life and death comes down to a game of rock, paper, scissors? SUNY Plattsburgh’s Theatre Department will present a play by Tracy Rosenquest titled “First Born” that explores this premise. Showtimes are March 3 and 5 at 7:30 p.m., and March 6 at 2 p.m at the Studio Theatre in the Myers Fine Arts building. Tickets are $11 for the general public. To purchase a seat, visit tickets.plattsburgh.edu.

On March 5, Julia and Michael Devine will present their short film “Burgh” at the Upper Jay Art Center. Says filmmaker Michael Devine, “’Burgh’ is a film about place—not this city, not Plattsburgh, but rather the spaces we share as social creatures, and our need to connect to one another.” A Q&A will follow. Manhatta, the classic 1926 avant garde short directed by Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler, will also be shown. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

The newly formed Mike + Ruthy Band will play at the Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls on March 10. Their debut album, “Bright as You Can,” was hailed as “one of the year’s standout Americana albums” by the Boston Globe. Admission is free. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The Mountaineer in Keene Valley will host their fourteenth annual Adirondack Backcountry Ski Festival on March 5-6. Backcountry skiing is done on natural snow in natural terrain, and combines all of the elements of touring, climbing and downhill skiing. Guided tours for several ability levels will be available for a limited number of participants on Saturday and Sunday. As part of the festival, Patagonia Ambassador Leah Evans of Revelstoke, British Columbia – winner of the Freeride World Tour and founder of Girls Do Ski – will be presenting a lecture at Keene Arts. Advance registration for all guided tours and instructional clinics will be required. To pre-register, call 518-576-2281 or contact mountaineer@mountaineer.com.

TICONDEROGA

‘Strikes for Students’ returns to Adirondack Lanes

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — For the fifth year, something as simple as rolling a ball down the lane can help students expand their educational horizons thanks to “Strikes for Students.”

The annual event will take place Sunday, March, 13, at Adirondack Lanes in Ticonderoga.

Proceeds benefit the Ticonderoga Alumni Association’s Sentinel Support Fund, which was created by the organization to allow for student and school groups to apply for a matching grant of as much as $250 to help finance field

trips, programs, speakers and other school activities which might be cut during difficult financial times.

“Let’s overcome cabin fever and celebrate Strikes of Students,” related Bob Dedrick of the Alumni Association.

“Where else can you enjoy a team sport, be involved in healthy and friendly competition and support the educational activities of our school children.”

“During the 2014-15 school year the projects that were approved included a wireless weather station at the high school, a Hovercam Solo 8 document camera for the high school, a square dancing program at the elementary-middle school and a Give Back service day throughout the commu-

nity by the elementary and middle schools,” said Dedrick.

For the event, bowlers will be able to participate in either of two sessions, one beginning at noon and the other at 3 p.m.

Each team will consist of four bowlers. Dedrick said many bowlers will support the event by bowling on more than one team.

The cost to participate is $20 per adult and $12 per student.

For more information, contact Donna Fleury at Adirondack Lanes (585-6851) along with Sue Liddell or Dedrick.

CROWN POINT

SpanningÊ theÊ ocean

As a CFES (College For Every Student) school, one of the best practices Crown Point Central School follows is mentoring.

Through Skype, the students share ideas, ask questions and enjoy each others’ company. Although their is an ocean between them and a six hour time difference, students are having a terrific mentoring experience.

Along with music, there will also be a preview of the CPCS Drama Club’s offering for 2016, “You Can’t Take it with You,” giving people a sneak peak of what they can expect when the curtain goes up on performances March 18-20.

“Drama has always been a part of the evening,” CPCS music teacher Jeris French said. “Their full production is usually one week after our fundraiser.”

There will also be student artwork on display and the Book Fair and Family Night, which will start at 5:30 p.m.

There will also be edible arts, as servings of homemade desserts may be purchased and whole desserts will be offered as raffle items.

McGinness, Thurston to headline Mineville VFW show Final fundraiser for Big Change Roundup

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

MINEVILLE — Two popular North Country acts will take the stage at the Mineville VFW Saturday, March 12, for an evening of singing and celebration.

Moriah native and upand-coming country artist Joe McGinness will be joined

by Jamie Lee Thurston for the concert, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and show starting at 8 p.m.

The concert will be held in conjunction with local radio station 98.9 as a closing celebration of the annual Big Change Roundup fundraiser for the Vermont Children’s Hospital.

“I love bringing new and exciting talent to my hometown, especially someone like Jamie Lee who is a great friend,” McGinness said.

“This event will be a closing celebration as well as a place for donation so bring all of your spare change. Many 98.9 WOKO deejay’s will be joining the festivities.”

McGinness has been an ambassador, of sorts, for the Big Change Roundup on the west shores of Lake Champlain, hosting many concerts and other events to help raise funds.

“I’ve always believed in helping people in need,” he said. “I have a great relationship with WOKO and they really do a great job taking care of their community and the children’s hospital.

Watching them really influenced me to jump on board and do my part. Every bit of money raised plays a big role and could help save a life.”

McGinness has also donated 10 percent of the proceeds from his first album, “It’s Gonna be a Good Night,” to the roundup. His current single, “Blame it on

the Weekend,” is his most popular track on iTunes.

McGinness will be joined

by Thurston, who has performed throughout the North Country. He has a long list of achievements, including being signed to a major Nashville label, writing a top 10 hit for Rodney Atkins (“15 Minutes”) along

with writing for many others, including Hank Williams, Jr. “This event will be one to remember,” McGinness said.

“Jamie and I are both determined to give the best show possible including a few surprises and maybe a collaboration.”

There are 450 tickets available for the show, on sale for

$15 in advance at Boyea’s Grocery and Deli along with the Mineville VFW Bowling Lanes. Tickets will be $20 at the door, depending on availability.

COUNTY

New website helps Essex Co. residents search property

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A new online tool has been created to help people know more about who owns what in Essex County.

Liz Arabadjis of Fountains Spatial, Inc., presented members of the board of supervisors with a look at the Essex County map viewer — available to all at the website essexgis.co.essex.ny.us — during the Feb. 29 ways and means committee meeting.

“This site allows users to search for parcels where you can zoom into certain areas and the parcel you search for will come up shaded,” Arabadjis said. “Besides clicking on the identified parcel, you can click on all the surrounding parcels and get their information, as well. There is also a buffer feature which will let you look at all surrounding parcels to any you have searched.”

The map of the county is broken into towns when users first go to the page, but can also be separated by other criteria, including by fire stations, cemeteries, town halls, election districts, Adirondack Park Land Use, state lands, agricultural lands, APA wetlands, village boundaries, flood hazard planes and more.

The site also features several tools, including a measuring tool which allows users to approximately size parcels, distances between locations or even the size of a building.

Arabadjis said there is not a print option

E-waste

for the maps because the county offers maps through the real property department.

Road classification During the business portion of the ways and means meeting, members of the board voted to seek the reclassification of five roads within the county from local roads to federal aid eligible roads.

“If they are re-classified, the are eligible for 95 percent funding towards their repair,” said county manager Dan Palmer.

The roads up for reclassification are Wells Hill Road in Lewis, Reber Road in Willsboro,

Lake Shore Road between Westport and Essex, Stevenson Road in Westport and Tahawus Road in Newcomb.

Bridge work The committee also amended several engineering contracts to allow for the performance of subsurface investigations and geotechnical engineering reports.

“We are going to get the engineering on these bridges down ahead of time,” Palmer said. “This is from funds we had set ahead of time so we can get a jump on those bridges we know we are going to have to replace.”

Amendments were made with contracts granted by the county with Schoder Engineering and Dent Engineering dealing with projects on Hulls Fall Road in Keene, Fraternaland

As members of the committee discussed its annual hazardous waste collection day, Minerva Supervisor Stephen McNally asked about what was being done at the county level to collect e-waste.

“According to the DEC, every county is supposed to have a free e-waste drop off system in place where people can drop their e-waste off,” McNally said. “I don’t understand why we do not have one.”

As of now, McNally said the town’s e-waste is transported to a company in Plattsburgh for disposal. He added, under the DEC policy, an e-waste station is supposed to be funded with aid from manufacturers e-waste, a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life such as computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products — many of which can be reused, refurbished, or recycled.

Next meeting The Essex County Board of Supervisors will hold its monthly meeting Monday, March 7, 10 a.m. at the Old County Courthouse in Elizabethtown.

Sportsmen

SEMINARS

<< Continued from | p. 1

To kick it off, registration opens around 9:45 a.m. There will be display tables set up around the gym featuring outdoor related businesses and information for hunters, anglers, hikers and more. Tenda said this is a perfect time to mingle and enjoy the provided snacks before the seminar sessions begin at 11:15 a.m.

During the first session, attendees will have the opportunity to choose from several different seminars. New this year is Kyle Scheffler from Orvis Manchester Outlet. He will give a seminar on different fish species in the great lakes and its tributaries. He’ll cover topics like spawning runs, proper tackle, fly-fishing techniques and more.

After the first session, an Italian-style meal will be served… baked ziti, garlic bread, salad and desserts. During that time there will be a “pass the hat” donation collection for anyone who wishes to donate to the event.

The second seminar session will take place following dessert. Tenda said some of the speakers have been coming for years and are very popular. Among them are Marty Simon who has been doing a survival seminar every year.

Gary Hodgeson also comes back every year; he is a retired forester from Lake Placid who will give a seminar on building a birch bark canoe. Tenda said this seminar is a favorite among attendees.

Sharon Tabor from the DEC is doing a very important seminar on North Country ticks that cause Lyme disease.

The main presentation takes place at 3 p.m. with Randy Flannery.

“He is very good,” Tenda said.

Flannery’s seminar will be on tracking and stalking whitetail deer. Flannery said, “that’s what we do in the north country.”

in deer hunting… climb out of the deer stand and go look for the deer instead of waiting for them,” he said.

Flannery said he travels to many sportsmen’s events but loves going to this particular one because it’s a great event and it’s run very efficiently.

“The main thing that keeps me coming back is what they’re trying to do,” Flannery said. “There’s nothing more important than educating people about the all powerful and loving God that we have.”

“If you go to the Adirondack Sportsmen’s Dinner and you don’t 1) eat well, 2) learning something or 3) enjoy yourself… made a significant and sustained contribution to the quality of life in Schroon Lake. The SLCC will honor the 39th person or organization at its annual dinner in June.

Provide details of their achievements, volunteer endeavors, community service, efforts to improve the quality of life of someone else or the community, and personal characteristics that they believe qualify the nominee as Citizen/Organization of the Year. The nominee need not to be a SLCC member, but must reside in the Town of Schroon, North Hudson, Paradox or Severance.

I don’t think it’s possible to do that... It’s just a great time run by wonderful people,” he said.

‘Under the Sea’ family fun night set at Mountainside

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON LAKE — This event is sure to be nautical!

Mountainside Christian Academy (MCA) would like to invite the community, to the “Under the Sea” themed family fun night, March 18 from 5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. in the MCA school gym, at 165 U.S. Route 9 in Schroon Lake.

Jennie Sabatini, MCA school principal, said usually MCA students and families are the majority of attendees but they hope to make this more of a community event this year.

“It’s always a fun event that our families really look forward to and it’s a great time to mix with our staff and students,” she said.

She added they want to reach out and build relationships with other people in town and just have a fun night together.

The event will be a carnival-style event with various games geared toward children in kindergarten through sixth grade.

Along with a face painting booth, this year a classroom will be completely transformed into a “really cool maze” for kids to find their way through.

Sabatini said they will also have games like pyramids of cans to shoot with nerf guns, ring toss, bean bag toss and more.

The price is only 25 cents to play each game and kids can win tickets, which can be redeemed for prizes.

Anyone dressed as a sea creature or in nautical clothing will receive two free prize tickets.

Sabatini invites everyone to get really creative, whether it be a fish costume, an octopus or something else.

“It’s fun to see what the kids come up with,” she said.

There will be a concession stand for dinner with some ocean-themed food options available.

There will be several “cake walks” throughout the evening as well. Buy a ticket for $1 and enjoy this musical chairs styled activity. Winners take home a beautifully decorated cake. Fifteen people have volunteered to make them, so there will be plenty of chances to win.

“It’s just a low cost, right here in our backyard kind of event you can come to,” Sabatini said.

COUNTY

Sheriff warns about internet, telephone scams

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

LEWIS — While people now have more ways than ever to communicate, it also leads to more ways than ever to be conned.

Telephone and internet scams are nothing new, but their popularity as a way to swindle unsuspecting folks into giving away important information or sending money to a bogus cause has increased, according to Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting, who said residents are being “bombarded” with these types of scams.

“Each and every day, Essex County residents are being targeted with a wide variety of scams intended to swindle money from honest, hard working people,” said Sheriff Richard Cutting. “Never give personal information out over the phone or internet, and by all means don’t fall victim to these scams.”

“We are constantly getting people calling us about scams and we tell them to ignore the calls and internet. It is a world wide problem not just here,” Warren County Sheriff Bu York said. “My advise is as soon as the phone call comes in, hang up! When the invite comes in on the internet, if they absolutely don’t know the sender, to delete immediately. Never open emails they don’t know!”

“Folks continue to fall victim to several of the same scam jobs that have been reported ad naseum over the past few years,” added Steven Stockdale of the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department, saying the department averages several scam call per month.

“Specifically the IRS scam where someone tells a victim that they are delinquent on tax payments, the lottery scam where our victim is told they’ve won a sweepstakes, and the Police scam where our victims are told that a loved one has been incarcerated in a foreign country and requires bail be posted to secure their release,” he said. “Most unfortunately, our victims tend to be older folks with a lot less income and they seem to be very unlikely to call the police and ask for guidance or information - they’re being targeted for that fact, and because they tend to be very trusting.”

Cutting mentioned several forms of scams in an email to media outlets recently: • IRS scam: The recipient of the call is told they will be arrested if they don’t pay overdue taxes; • Family in need/danger: Scams where a family member has been arrested, injured or robbed and needs money right away; • Bills: Overdue utility bills that must be paid or your service will be disconnected; • Phony camps: People purporting to be collecting for underprivileged kids to go to a camp – usually the spoken name is something like: “New York State (pause) Police” — the pause between State and Police is hardly noticeable, but they are usually not who they portray; • Inheritance or lottery: Schemes where you need to pay a fee to collect or you will be mailed a check for a large amount of money, you simply deposit the check and then send a fee for processing. By the time you get notice from the bank that the check you deposited is no good, your money is gone.

“The large majority of legitimate charities or agencies will not try to solicit you by phone,” Cutting said. “They will send you correspondence to validate their claims. If you are in doubt, ask them to mail you the information so you have time to think. Their purpose is to prey on you immediately and get you to make a hasty decision.”

We encourage people to pay attention to what they are being told by the caller,” said Stockdale. “Never give your credit card or social security information to anyone. No legitimate organization will demand that a person purchase gift card or Green Dot cards and call them back to retrieve the information, and no sweepstakes company will require a contest winner to pay any money up front to receive their winnings.

Also, police agencies do not seek bail on an arrestees behalf - if the person calling states they are a police officer and they have a loved one in custody, ask for a return phone number and call another family member to determine if the loved one really did get arrested. No police agency will accept a persons credit over the phone to release someone from custody.”

Cutting said those worried about telephone scams are encouraged to sign up to the Do Not Call registry by going to the website donotcall.gov. He added, however, it will not end all calls from solicitors.

“Companies who you do business with are still eligible to call you as a customer as well as people who are not selling services or products,” Cutting said. “If you still get calls, go to that website and register a complaint. They can also file a complaint with the FTC at ftccomplaintassistant.gov or by calling (877) 382-4357.”

Beavers fall to Vikings in girls Class D championship

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Moriah Lady Vikings and Northern Adirondack Bobcats successfully defended their Section VII championships Feb. 26 at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse, while Northeastern Clinton returned to the top of Class B for the first time since 2011.

ClassÊ D

Moriah 42, Keene 31 Falling behind 8-2 early in the first quarter, the top-seeded Lady Beavers clawed their way back against the Lady Vikings, tying the game 29-29 heading into the fourth quarter.

However, the second seed Lady Vikings would go on a 13-2 run over the final eight minutes to pull away and earn their third straight Class D crown and fourth sectional title in five years (also won the 2012 Class C championship).

Moriah freshman Madison Olcott, who finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds (eight offensively), six blocks and three steals said the message was clear heading into the fourth quarter.

“We had been working for this all season and we had to give it our all and show how bad we wanted it,” Olcott said. “We had a really good game and if we play like this, we are going to do well.”

Sophomore Sarah Snyder connected on a pair of three pointers in the final quarter, the first opening scoring and giving the Vikings a 32-29 lead, while the second came after an Olcott rebound and pass off a missed free throw, leading to a 38-31 lead.

“That was pretty awesome,” Olcott said of the play. “When I got the rebound, I looked around and I saw her open.”

“I was so nervous,” Snyder said. “I really didn’t want to shoot, but I knew I was open so I had to put it up. It’s a great feeling to defend this title because we are so young and a lot of people didn’t think we would be here and we were able to prove to everyone we belonged.”

Snyder finished with 10 points along with 11 rebounds and four assists.

While Snyder hit the long shots late, McKenzie Sprague was connecting early, hitting a trio of triples in the second quarter as she finished with 12 points and seven rebounds.

“Our team is a great team, and so is Keene,” Sprague said.

“In the fourth, coach (Stephan Pelkey) told us it was all or nothing. I can’t thank coach enough for all he has taught us.”

McKenna Harris finished with three points and four steals, while Halee Calabrese added four points.

“We worked on our defense all week in practice,” said Harris, who split time with Olcott in guarding Keene point Hanna Whitney. “It means a lot to do this and defend this title.”

“I feel very proud of this team,” said lone senior Jordan Speshock, who played solid defense against Keene forward Elaina Smith. “We knew she was a good shooter and aggressive with the ball. All I practiced this week was how to play defense against her.”

For Keene, Whitney finished with 10 points and three steals, while Elly Smith scored 8 points to go with seven rebounds. Elaina Smith had 7 points and nine rebounds to go with four steals and six blocked shots, as Daria Venner scored 4 points (four rebounds) and Madison Gifford added 2 points and three rebounds. Marta Padura added five rebounds, with Caitlin Lopez grabbing one rebound and steal.

ClassÊ C

NAC 50, Seton Catholic 46 An 17-4 run for the Lady Knights got them within striking distance of the defending Class C and state finalist Lady Bobcats, but experience proved to be the difference for Northern Adirondack.

After the run between the third and fourth quarters trimmed a 37-23 lead to 40-41 for Northern Adirondack, the Bobcats went on a 4-0 minirun.

The Knights kept the game close, cutting the lead to one point again before Taylor Durnin connected on a pair of free throws for a 49-46 lead.

On the next play, the Knights

got the ball into the hands of Sam Bashaw, who released a Steph Curry-esque shot from 30-feet out which glanced off the rim, ending all hopes of a comeback.

Durnin finished with 20 points along with seven rebounds and five steals for the Bobcats, while Paige Chilton scored 16 points with six rebounds and three blocked shots.

Avery Lambert added 8 points and a quartet of rebounds, while Danya Burl scored four points and dished out three assists with Emily Peryea scoring 2 with five boards. Juliana Gardner added two rebounds.

For the Knights, Hailey Moore scored 16 points and grabbed six rebounds in the loss. Sophomore center Gretchen Zalis added 14 points to go with 15 rebounds and five steals, while Bashaw finished with 13 points and two assists.

Caillene Allen scored 4 points with six rebounds, while Olivia Nachbauer had four rebounds. Nicole Bullock added a tally in the rebound, assist and steal columns, while Rachel Racette had one assist and a blocked shot.

ClassÊ B

NCCS 53, Beekmantown 46

In the rubber match between the two top teams in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference, the Lady Cougars pulled out the neutral court win and advanced to state play.

The key for the Cougars was a 6-0 run before halftime, as the Lady Eagles had tied the game, 26-26, in the final minutes of the second quarter. From that point, the Cougars never relinquished the lead.

Shaylyn Rowe scored the final four points of the first half for the Cougars, scoring 11 of her game high 19 in the second quarter, where NCCS outscored Beekmantown 20-15.

“It set us in a good place,” Rowe said. “It allowed us to start well in the second half and build on our offense.”

“We wanted to keep the tempo up after that,” said Emily Sample, who finished with 17 points and five steals. “We played a strong defensive game with a lot of calling out and switching on screens.”

While scoring 4 points, Abbie Sample led the Cougars with 14 rebounds as the team dominated the boards.

“We came in knowing we had to box out and that was the key for us winning,” she said.

“Rebounds were the key part of this and we did a great job on defense limiting them to one shot,” said Kayla Carder, who came into the game eight points shy of 1,000 for her caSeton Catholic’s Hailey Moore battles for the ball against Northern Ad- reer.

Natalie Boulerice added 5 points and six assists for the Cougars, while coach Frank Dumas said a pair of substitutes were key in the first quarter.

“When we got in foul trouble, Karen Duffy and Katelyn Southwick came in a sparked us,” Dumas said. I think throughout the whole game we weathered the storm and the run at the end of the first half was quite a momentum builder for us.”

For the Eagles, Jordanne Manney used her quick release to score 13 points to lead Beekmantown. Alyssa Waters added 10 points, four assists and three steals, while Kenna Guynup had 9 points and three assists. Brooke Bjelko had 8 points while leading the team with 12 rebounds and Gabrielle Rowell scored 7 points while pulling in nine rebounds. Courtney Guynup added a rebound and assist.

Willsboro brings a battle, but falls to top-ranked Vikings

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — While it was business as usual for the Moriah Vikings in capturing their fourth straight Section VII/ Class D basketball championship, it was a return to glory for the AuSable Valley and Northeastern Clinton boys basketball programs Feb. 27.

The Patriots scored their first sectional championship since 2013, while the Cougars were back on top for the first time since 2011.

ClassÊ D

Moriah 62, Willsboro 44 It was a case of the score not showing how close the Class D final was, as the Warriors were there to prove they belonged on the same stage as the top ranked team in New York State.

The Warriors, ending the first half down 17-14, took a 2524 lead at the 2:58 mark of the second quarter, staying within three points heading into halftime at 30-27.

The Vikings responded coming out of halftime, opening on a 7-0 mini-run while ending the third quarter up 12 at 47-35.

The Warriors were able to cut the lead to 50-40 early in the fourth, but foul trouble and fatigue caught up to the underdog as they faded in the final minutes, giving the Vikings everything they could in defeat.

“I knew they were good,” Moriah head coach Brian Cross said. “Jimmy (Spring) had them well prepared and they played really tough.”

“They never went away,” Adam Jaquish said. “They always played hard. We knew they were going to be tough and coach told us not to overestimate them.”

“We tried our hardest in that first half,” Willsboro senior Lucas Cross said. “We fought them as much as we could. We knew they liked to run and I thought we controlled their transition game well.”

“To come in when no one was expecting this game to be close and be down only three at halftime was incredible,” senior Zach Pierson said. “We knew what we had to do. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my senior year with any other team.”

“I can’t explain this heart the team showed today,” Spring said. “They all believe in themselves, each other and what the coaching staff asks them to do.”

The Vikings said the key to the second half was their ability to get back to doing what they do best.

“We wanted to pick up our intensity, crash the boards and play faster,” said Dylan Trombley, who had 10 points to go with nine rebounds, six assists and four steals.

“We knew we had to rebound better, and coach got on us about rebounding and breaking out better,” said Jaquish, who finished with 20 points along with eight rebounds, five steals, five blocked shots and four assists.

“We had a tough time shooting in the first half and needed to get used to the environment again, but we wanted to come out strong in the second half and did,” said Taylor Slattery, who tallied 12 points along with six rebounds and four assists.

“We relied on perimeter shooting when we didn’t have to in the first half,” Cross said.

Joe Stahl had 9 points along with six rebounds, while Jarrod MacDougal finished with 6 points and two steals. Todd Clarke and Noah Gilbo scored 2 points each, with Billy Larrow adding four rebounds.

For the Warriors, Jesse Hearn scored 16 points while recording eight rebounds, along with 13 points from Cross, who also tallied three assists.

Pierson, Sean Lincoln and Warren Jackson each scored 4 points, as Pierson added seven rebounds and Lincoln five.

Trevor Bigelow had six assists.

ClassÊ C

AuSable Valley 67, NAC 51 The Patriots pulled away in the second half, outscoring the Bobcats 39-27 over the final 16 minutes, including a 23-15 fourth quarter, to earn the Class C title.

“We wanted to get the ball into the paint in the second half and we know that is when good things can happen,” said Kobe Parrow, who finished with 23 points and 20 rebounds, a mark he has always had as a goal.

“A 20-20 is something I have always wanted and to get it here on the big stage is great,” Parrow

said. “We know we are going to have a hard week of practice and when we play our style of hoops we are a hard team to beat.”

“It’s great to finally get this title for this team,” said Nate Manning, who scored 11 points and dished out six assists.

“We were able to come out stronger defensively in the second half and still keep pushing the tempo on offense.”

“I’ve always wanted to play here,” said Joel Martineau, who seemed to be one of the few not effected by the perspective in the PSUC Fieldhouse, connecting on a trio of triples as part of a 15-point, eight rebound night.

“It’s just like shooting in my backyard with the distance between the hoop and the wall,” Martineau said.

“The main this was to stay within ourselves and play our type of basketball,” head coach Jamie Douglass said. “We had to get to the offensive boards. We went to a 1-2-2 zone and our bigs played well.”

Alex Knapp added 8 points and six rebounds for the Patriots, while Brandon Snow had 6 points and five rebounds.

Lucas Perez added 2 points and a pair of assists.

For the Bobcats, Stephen Peryea led the team with 20 points, while Josh Juntunen scored 13 points. Bailey Cross added 8 points and rebounds, while Cody Peryea had 6 points and Cory Lafountain 4.

ClassÊ B

NCCS 52, Saranac 41

After falling behind early, the Cougars controlled the final three quarters of the Class B finals, outscoring the Chiefs 17-7 in the second quarter and 30-23 in the second half.

The Chiefs, who started on an 11-5 run, held their last lead at 18-16 before Melik McLeod connected on the three-pointer to put the Cougars ahead to stay at 19-18.

McLeod led the Cougars with 20 points, while Zavion Beasley had 12 points and 11 rebounds in the game.

Rylee Hollister added 9 points and four boards, with Nick Duffy scoring 8 points and giving out five assists, and Devin McManus scoring three points with five rebounds.

In 2015, three adult salmon were captured and tagged while two others were seen on video but eluded capture. All five fish continued their upstream migration, which culminated in some of them spawning successfully. We are very excited announce confirmation of this milestone fisheries event.

The termination of the restoration program is regrettable, but the fact that wild Atlantic salmon have once again spawned in their native rivers is reason enough to celebrate as it underscores the value of ongoing salmon legacy programs.

Barring evidence in the future that Atlantic salmon stocks elsewhere in North America are rebounding strongly, the goal of restoring a run of thousands of salmon to the Connecticut River watershed has officially been abandoned.

Saving the salmon

F

or millenniums, prior to the arrival of Europeans, their annual spawning runs filled the Connecticut, Penobscot and a variety of other rivers on the Northeast coast with millions of fish.

On the Connecticut,the Northeast’s longest river at a distance of over 407 miles from the mountains of New Hampshire to Long Island Sound, salmon were considered extinct in the early 1900’s due to over harvesting, dams, mills and the resulting pollution.

Historically, Atlantic salmon migrated into the region’s rivers and streams every Fall, to access traditional spawning waters throughout New England and Canada. Over the intervening years, a variety of efforts were put forward in an effort to restore Atlantic salmon to their historic waters, but despite more than a half-century of work and investments that have included over $25 million in hatcheries, dam removals and stocking programs. Although there is evidence that a few salmon have successfully spawned in the nearby Salmon River, the status of wild Atlantic salmon in the Connecticut River was finally downgraded to extinct in 2015. As costs continued to soar, State and federal agencies were ready to pull the plug.

But in nature, bad news doesn’t always travel so fast, and it often pays to bet against against the odds. And sometimes it’s actually good to fool with Mother Nature. At least it was for the five wild Atlantic salmon that didn’t allow news that they were supposed to be extinct, prevent them from continuing upstream on their annual spawning run. In November 2015, a fisheries biologist walking along the banks of the Farmington River,recognized unusual divots in the river bottom, where the rocks had been cleared on the bottom of a tributary of the Connecticut River. The river bottom had not been cleared in such a manner since the time of the Revolutionary War. Upon closer inspection, the divots were determined to be redds, a scientific term for salmon nests and all three of them were full

of salmon eggs. Welcome home, salmo salar, welcome home!

During the fall of 2015, fisheries biologists discovered five adult Atlantic salmon swimming above the Rainbow Dam on the lower Farmington River. On a hunch, they decided tp search for likely upstream spawning habitat, andthey found three redds that were full of eggs.

In the spring of this year, it is expected those redds will produce the first wild salmon to hatch in that river in over two centuries. In 1991 a few wild salmon were spawned for the first time in Connecticut’s nearby Salmon River. It was likely to be the river’s first natural spawn in centuries.

However, despite the recent success, the ongoing effects of climate change may have more drastic affects on the status of Atlantic salmon, which travel long-distance from the rivers of New England and Canada on a two-year, 6,000-mile migration to the food-rich Labrador Sea off of Greenland. Following the extended journey they will return to the rivers of their birth. While the salmon restoration efforts on the Connecticut have been repeatedly stymied by budget cuts, and the ever changing forces of weather and climate change, wild fish are very resilient, and it would be foolish to bet against the success of their natural return.

A salmon stocking program will continue on several Connecticut River tributaries with especially good habitat, such as the Farmington and Salmon rivers in Connecticut, in an effort a way to preserve a strain of salmon that had adapted to the Connecticut, but the number of fish stocked will be drastically reduced as a result of the damage that occurred at the federal hatchery.

With the end of the restoration program in 2013, adult fish

MargaretÊ Ò PegÓ Ê (DeVaney)Ê Shaw

TICONDEROGA — Margaret “Peg” (DeVaney) Shaw, 74, of Ticonderoga, passed away peacefully at her home on Sunday, February 28, 2016. Peg fought valiantly these past few years against a series of illnesses. Anyone who knew Peg could attest to the richness of her presence in their lives. She was best known for her kindness and compassion. She will be sorely missed.

Born in Ticonderoga, April 6, 1941, she was the daughter of the late John and Margaret (Hughes) DeVaney.

Her life was forever changed when she fell in love with, and married Elliott Shaw on January 10, 1959. For 57 years they lived a life of love, friendship and partnership. They were virtually inseparable.

In the past year, Elliott gave himself completely to her care.

Her family was always the central focus of her life. While quiet by nature, Peg could be passionate when speaking about one of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She treasured each and every one of them in their own unique way.

For many years, Peg was a stay-at-home mother supporting a busy family life of six children. She never missed a ballgame, concert or school play and nursed her children through many illnesses. She enjoyed the years the family lived on the Lake Road with great neighbors and friends, especially her dear friend, Jane Laundree. Later in life, she cherished any chance to be part of a family birthday, cook-out or other celebration.

After her children were grown, Peg followed in the footsteps of her mother by working at Fort Ticonderoga for more than 20 years. She was a conscientious and enthusiastic work-

er who took pride in the Fort’s gift shop. Her children are very proud of her years working at the Fort.

Peg had many hobbies, she was a great cook, had a green thumb and loved to go out of town for the day for lunch and a movie. Over the years, many people commented about her keen listening skills. She did not like to draw attention to herself.

Peg adopted the Shaw family love of baseball and with Elliott watched the Red Sox religiously. In later years, the two enjoyed making return trips to the Southern Maine Coast, a place they first visited as a young family. But a simple night of playing cards with friends or board games with family could bring them as much joy.

Peg had a special place in her heart for St. Mary’s Parish, both school and church, and was a member of the Catholic Daughters. She sang in the church folk group for many years.

She especially enjoyed hosting clergy for meals at her house.

Peg was pre-deceased by her son, Jeffrey Shaw in 1987.

Survivors include her husband, Rev. Mr. Elliott A. Shaw, Sr.; her two sons, Elliott Shaw Jr. (Penny) of Delmar and Michael Shaw (Robin) of Ticonderoga, her three daughters, Wendy Shaw of Ticonderoga, Mary Coleman (Jim) of Latham, and Michelle Eggleston (Darin) of Dresden; her 12 grandchildren, Ryan, Gregson, Chris, Jordan, Ted, Amber, Meegan, Zoe, Liam, Archer, Ariya and Aurora; her four great-grandchildren, Eoin, Emmi, Riley and Gavin; her two brothers, Jack DeVaney (Brenda) of Texas and Pat DeVaney (Judy) of Colonie; and her sister, Kathy Coleman (John) of California.

She is also survived by her loving brothers and sisters-in-law, Donna VanWirt, Frederick Shaw, Patricia Hansen, Kathleen (Kit) Corliss, Norma Jane Thatcher and Ronnie Shaw; and several nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to thank all the caring and compassionate medical personnel that assisted her in the past few years.

The family is also grateful to Sister Sharon for being there at our time of need.

Friends and family are invited to call Friday, March 4, 2016 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Wilcox & Regan Funeral Home, 11 Algonkin St., Ticonderoga.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Ticonderoga. The Rev. Kevin D. McEwan, Pastor will officiate.

The Rite of Committal will take place in the Spring at the family plot of St. Mary’s Parish Cemetery of Ticonderoga.

Donations in Peg’s memory may be made to St. Mary’s School Adopt-a-Student Program, 64 Amherst Avenue, Ticonderoga, NY 12883.
