Pt. Henry to set vote Village received petition to go to polls on plan to end village government

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — The regular meeting of the Port Henry Board of Trustees may be anything but regular.

That is because the board will be setting the date for a vote that would stop the process of dissolving the municipal, incorporated form of government as residents successfully petitioned to have the dissolution plan go to vote.

Deputy Mayor Matthew Brassard said the board will set the date for the vote during its June 13 meeting.

“The vote can be no sooner then Aug 12 and no later then Sept. 11,” Brassard said. “It will be part of the regular board meeting.”

The petition attempting to prevent the dissolution plan from moving forward was filed the morning of Wednesday, May 18 with village clerk Denise Daly. On May 25, the petition was certified by Village Clerk Denise Daly with 221 valid signatures.

It was submitted by former Port Henry Mayor Gary Cooke, who has been an opponent of the dissolution and has been calling for a common ground solution.

On Oct. 27 of last year, residents voted 190-171 to move forward with a dissolution plan to dissolve the village into the town of Moriah.

The Monday, June 13 meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at the village hall.

Crown Pt projects shelved Supervisor said he feels confident about locking in future grants

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

CROWN POINT — Due to financial and political concerns, Crown Point Town Supervisor Charles Harrington said the next phase of the ongoing water project is being postponed.

Harrington said the decision was made during a recent Water Committee meeting with representatives from several county entities.

He said the “very good reason” is that they’ve applied for another $600,000 grant and feel confident they will be in line for it, but the money is not available until 2017.

The supervisor added that if the town is awarded that money, the result will be longterm “reduced user fees.”

SIDEWALK PROJECT: Harrington said the sidewalk project is also postponed due to possible funds not being available until 2017.

The supervisor said he has submitted a letter to Senator Elizabeth Little’s office requesting $100,000 for sidewalk replacement.

“I have had a call from her office acknowledging receipt of the letter with an added statement that Little’s office does have funds available. We are in good standing with the senator and anticipate her support in this request,” he wrote.

But, Harrington added, he is “waiting for a solid response.”

BackPack Program shows big need, big response Program helps provide meals to youth in Ticonderoga, Moriah, Crown Point and Schroon Lake schools

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — It has been a big year for the BackPack Program.

The Ticonderoga Kiwanis-sponsored program, headed up

by John Bartlett, has seen expansion and success since it was started in 2013, covering the entirety of southeastern Essex County and providing meals to 235 students in Ticonderoga Elementary, St. Mary’s, Putnam, Crown Point, Schroon Lake and Moriah school districts.

“For the 2015-16 school year, almost $35,000 has been spent to buy the food to fill the backpacks,” Bartlett said. “One hundred percent of all donations are used to purchase the food for the kids. Volunteers handle all of the administrative and logistical support for the program. Over 7,500 filled backpacks will be sent home for the weekends this school year.

That is the equivalent of over 45,000 meals.”

Bartlett said he has been impressed with the expansion of the program, noting it has been able to meet the needs of low-

“We started with 30 students from Ticonderoga Elementary School,” he said. “From this relatively modest start, the program has been able to grow and expand thanks to the very generous support the program has received from individual donors, companies, associations and charitable organizations. Today the program includes six local area schools and 235 students are being provided with backpacks filled with food for the weekend.”

Brooke Mildon, who was able to not only secure weekend meals but also raised funds for meals to cover the two holiday and mid-winter breaks.

The Ticonderoga Area BackPack Program distributes backpacks filled with food for the weekends to eligible students throughout the school year for 32 weekends in total. The first distribution was in September and the final backpack distribution for this year will be Friday, June 10.

Bartlett said the Kiwanis Club was thankful for the support they have received for the program.

“Without your volunteer hours and your generous donations, this would not have been possible. We thank you, but the children and their families thank you even more!”

Remillard has been learning quickly in new job Peru native enters a beehive of activity as interim UVM-ECH chief officer

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A major renovation project is a lot to handle when you are dropped into it as the leader.

Add to that a major fundraising drive, and you’re treading a ton of water.

Don’t forget streamlining two

Remillard different staffs as part of a recentlyformed merger of services — and the need to find a buyer for two parts of your services.

For University of Vermont Health Network - Elizabethtown Community Hospital Interim CEO John Remillard, who also heads up the Moses Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga, it could have been an overload.

“I’m still learning,” said Remillard, who, despite coming into what could seem to be an avalanche of issues, has been there before.

Prior to ECH, the Peru native was the head administrator at A.O. Fox Hospital in Oneonta.

Working to integrate the operations of Moses Ludington Hospital and UVM-ECH along with working on the sale of a pair of adult care facilities has been a top priority since Remillard came on board as the interim CEO.

“Fox was independent for the first 20 years I led it, and for the last six years or so, we were blending cultures and bringing teams together as part of the Bassett Healthcare Network,” he said.

“That was a significant factor from the board’s point of view,” said communications director Jane Hooper.

“It was a key component of his background because it is what we are going through right now. To have his experiences, the board believed he will serve this organization well.”

Remillard took over from former CEO Rod Boula in February and has been working

hard getting a grasp on the needs of the communities the hospital and healthcare network serves.

It has been real interesting to learn about the systems and how we operate,” he said. “There are a lot of similar things between here and Fox. Blending the staffs and cultures is a big undertakingand we are working hard to become one.”

Remillard said the key to the services provided by the healthcare provider is the patient.

“Keeping the patient in the center of what we do and at the center of our thinking is the key,” he said.

Remillard said the move to ECH from Oneonta was also a personal one, returning him closer to home.

“We have had a home up here for 10 years or so it was part of the plan for me to spend more time in the area,” he said.

While Remillard currently serves as the interim CEO, the Sun asked if the “interim” tagged could be removed and he become the replacement instead of the bridge between two CEO’s.

Remillard paused before stating, “I’m having conversations with the board about that very topic.”

Church to honor 50 years of service by Ti native James Lonergan was first ordained Catholic priest from Ticonderoga

had circumnavigated the globe by the age of 35.

“It has been a time of tremendous transition in the world itself,” Lonergan added.

“One of the biggest things has been, I got into computers right at the beginning, beta testing several programs. I found it was something that has really enhanced my ministry.”

Lonergan was born July 8, 1939, and received training ay St. John’s Atonement Seminary in New York, the University of the State of New York, Atonement Seminary in Washington, D.C. and University of San Diego. He served in parish and educational ministry before serving 24 years as a military chaplain with the Army, earning numerous awards.

After retiring from active duty in 1996, Lonergan served in churches Usher, Berlin, Hudson Falls and Kingsbury and as Dean of Washington County.

He retired from full time service in 2004, but remains active in the ministry.

GLENS FALLS — In 1966, Rev. James Lonergan found himself front and center on the cover of the Ticonderoga Sentinel.

At the time, he was the first native son to be an ordained minister in the Catholic Church.

“I remember at the mass, it was more of a community celebration then a church service,” Lonergan said.

Now, his Golden Jubilee will be celebrated at St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls with a Mass of Thanksgiving — offered by Lonergan — Saturday, June 18 at 4 p.m.

“To be very honest, I have loved what I have done,” said Lonergan. “I have had the chance to deal with an awful lot of people who have been miserable in jobs and that has not been my lot in life. I have loved it since the beginning and it has got better as it went along. Of course, this is not really a job, it’s a calling.”

Lonergan has been all over the globe to spread his message and serve people.

“Someone said my parish has been the world and it really has,” he said, adding he

St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls will host the Golden Jubilee celebration for Rev. James Lonergan, who has been in the ministry for the past 50 years, serving around the globe as a military chaplain and in several parishes in New York state. The jubilee will take place Saturday, June 18, at 4 p.m.

Best Fourth in the North to feature Ti students Athletes, musicians and more to be honored from within the school district

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — It has been a great year at Ticonderoga Central School.

Students excelled in the classroom and labs, as well as on the field, court, track, stage, studio and more, with the most recent example of Sentinel power coming when the girls varsity softball team made the NYSPHSAA Final Four.

To celebrate, the Best Fourth in the North Committee, along with leaders at the school, will come together to celebrate the Ticonderoga Sentinels as the Grand Marshal of the 2016 parade.

“We wanted to highlight all of the successes we have had in the school,” Ticonderoga Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said. “There has been good school spirit and it has really has all worked together with everything that has happened. This senior class has shown a lot of leadership and it has trickled down into the other classes. We had 19 of these seniors honored at the Excellence in Academic Recognition Ceremony.

They have seen a lot of success.”

Best Fourth in the North committee member and Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright said the process started when numerous nominations for the annual parade came in for the Ticonderoga varsity football team, which made the Class D championship game.

“The overwhelming response was for the Ti football team,” Courtright said. “When the committee discussed the nomination with the school, we both felt the most appropriate thing to do was show off all of the accomplishments of the school.”

Courtright said the school had been working with several group to coordinate floats for the parade with the committee.

“Our theme for the Best Fourth in the North this year is Hometown Pride, so the whole thing is working out nicely,” Courtright said.

To honor the nomination, the football team will be featured in the parade, along with other school organizations and groups, which McDonald said has grown by one.

“The softball team will definitely be up there with the football team,” he said. “This is the first girls team we have ever had to reach this level. It is a milestone for women’s team sports here and we are all really proud and I know how hard they have worked for this.”

McDonald added he feels the success of the students in the classroom is an extension of the success they have with their athletics program, music program and more.

“Studies show the more students are involved in extra-

curricular activities, the better they will perform in the classroom,” he said.

The Best Fourth in the North Parade will step off at 2 p.m.

Monday, July 4, making its way down Montcalm Street. For more information, visit best4thinthenorth.com.

I

s America really all that angry or are we just feeling frustrated over hearing lots of talk and seeing very little action?

We know whichever side may be speaking, they will twist the statistics to justify their points, providing ammo for either side to believe what they choose to believe, but I think more than anything America is frustrated over too many promises and not nearly enough action, especially where it counts.

Angry voices and political candidate bluster seems to have captivated our fighting spirit. Look around our country today or even our local communities; you’ll see far more brotherly love and good works than riots in the streets and destruction over limited necessities.

Oh sure, we all long for positive change and prosperity. We would all like to quit complaining about the state of so very many things but we always need to take a step back and look at our own situation.

Is our glass half full, half empty or somewhere in between?

It’s easy to get caught up in the foul language and get your blood boiling when we are bombarded with destructive images and out of character activities by a very few who are trying to make a statement, but when calmer heads prevail far too many are reacting to nothing more than bluster and not real action.

In many ways we’ve been asleep at the voting booth for too many years. The majority of eligible voters have failed to engage in the system by casting a vote, a trend that has continued to grow.

In 2008 just the promise of hope and change was enough to get Senator Obama elected.

Sadly, hope and change became more of the same and keep on hoping.

Regardless of who is elected, once the elections are over the wheels of bureaucratic government will move at a slow pace.

Every candidate running for president always says: “On the first day in office I will….”

Well just remember, that first day is chocked full of ceremonial things, but little of it has anything to do with changing our lives.

The experiment that we call the United States of America has always been a nation of change, adjusting and reacting to the forces applied, both internally and externally. What doesn’t change is our ability to adapt and meld the new into the old, like it or not, we are a resilient people.

Despite our many mistakes we’ve been able to take corrective measures and keep the vision of America alive for all who continue to seek her promise of opportunity and freedom. This election is not going to change that in the slightest.

CNN’s great 1670 iPhone mystery W

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission... ith America going to hell in a handbasket, you can always rely on one of our most turned-to national television news outlets to provide us with vital, breaking news—such as the recent CNN report of Apple CEO Tim Cooke spying an iPhone in a 346-year-old Dutch master’s painting.

Cooke was on an European junket when CNN reported that he had just finished a tour of Amsterdam’s famous Rijks Art Museum. Apparently, the Apple chief found something there of profound historic import—and for a day it made the news feeds.

The morning after the museum visit, in a televised gathering with international business writers, Cooke was asked by a reporter (in what has all the earmarks of a sly setup) about the invention of the iPhone.

“You know, I thought I knew until last night. Last night, Neelie took me over to look at some Rembrandt and in one of the paintings I was so shocked. There was an iPhone in one of the paintings,” the CEO told the reporter.

The mysterious art work Cooke referred to was a painting by Pieter de Hooch created in 1670.

The Apple CEO must have been facetious about his firm’s invention (the iPhone) appearing in the circa 1670 painting; however, it was delivered deadpan and we never did hear the “rest of the story”, as the late Paul Harvey used to say.

So what about this overlooked 17th-century Dutch masterwork?

Perhaps the spirit of the French occultist Nostradamus was in the studio to guide the brushstrokes of De Hooch?

Nah—how about a little dab of Occam’s Razor, the skeptic’s pocket tool which works 99.9 percent of the time in solving mysteries. So, if taken as a real story about a spooky anachronism, is it really an iPhone or something far less sexy in the De Hooch painting?

According to TruNews website, this weird coincidence was not the first time “modern technology” appears in pre-modern history.

“In 1901 an artifact dubbed the Antikythera mechanism was recovered from a shipwreck off of (the island of) Antikythera (in Greece). When the device was analyzed with X-ray technology by Scientist Derek de Solla Price in 1974, it was

discovered that the mechanism was an ancient analog computer, produced likely between 150-250 B.C.... Another example from history of advanced technology being found in the ancient world is the Baghdad Battery... dated between 220-320 B.C.” Sure, most of us know that ancient civilized peoples were just as intelligent as we moderns. Still, we don’t have to swoon over fantastic TV reports about “lost advanced technologies” such as seer Edgar Cayce’s channeled Atlantean nonsense of the 1940s.

Consider Egypt’s pyramids, Rome’s Pantheon, and Anatolia’s vanished towers of Illium; even the ancient Minoans, whose destruction gave rise to the myth of Atlantis, had cushy creature comforts at home—well, sort of.

On the island of Crete, you hear that wealthy Minoans had “flush toilets” and central air conditioning at home around 1500 B.C. Sure it sounds fantastic on the face of it, but Minoan A.C. was nothing more than partitioning a room with wooden shutters that were used to control the inside air flow. And those ancient “flush toilets” often described? Running water systems that were certainly far less advanced than our modern plumbing.

Nor would I proclaim the Bagdad Battery, a clay jar that may have (may have) been a primitive electroplating device, and the Antikythera mechanism (a decidedly less than high-tech clocklike navigation device) “advanced technology”.

No matter, the reporters writing about Tim Cooke’s 2016 encounter with a 1670 smartphone had some fun, but buried the story’s lead.

And what was the lead? The title of the painting—“Man Hands a Letter to a Woman in a Hall”, so named by the artist himself.

De Hooch’s artwork portrays a seated woman and a man holding what appears to be a modern smartphone. Look closer and you’ll see it’s nothing more than a folded, handwritten paper letter. Sorry to disappoint. Occam’s Razor rules out all other explanations.

“I always thought I knew when the iPhone was invented, but now I’m not so sure anymore,” Cooke said during his televised meeting. Eh? The popular communications gadget was, in fact, introduced in 2007.

We now return control of your television set to you.

LETTERS

TownÊ boardÊ meetingsÊ areÊ notÊ intendedÊ toÊ beÊ openÊ discussionÊ forums To the Editor: “The recent two letters that you published from Keith Parent Sr. require some correct information to both Mr. Parent and to others in our community.

• Town Board Meeting is for the Board to conduct business. The public is invited to LISTEN to their deliberations. It is NOT an “open” meeting, nor a workshop nor a hearing where public participation is necessarily expected and invited.

• By law, the Board and Supervisor MAY chose to open “privilege of the floor” for people to speak to the Board about an issue or concern. Many towns do not have privilege of the floor on any regular basis.

• By resolution passed several years ago, a speaker

may speak for three minutes or read a one page letter, choosing to “submit it for the official minutes” of the meeting.

• Letters sent to the Clerk, are by this resolution, to be announced as to issue and writer and then placed in the file for public perusal. They are not to be read nor entered on the minutes.

• If participants cannot abide by the guidelines of the public participation, it is totally within the rights of the Supervisor and Board to ask the speaker to yield the floor, ask them to leave or have them removed in order to continue the meeting. The meeting can, if needed, be ended. Mr. Parent would certainly find in the minutes a “second to the motion” to close the meeting.

• Responsibility comes with rights� The intent of the guidelines is to run a democratic meeting where different viewpoints may be heard and where no one person or group shuts down the rights of others to speak.

If you want to fault Ms. Wood, fault her for believing that “privilege of the floor” is important; fault her for not taking the advice of other Supervisors to not open the floor for comment; fault her for listening to tirades with rudeness and attack; fault her for not insisting on the guidelines for public participation so that many have pushed the envelope and we are out of control; fault her for not having inappropriate participants removed; fault her for her patience in trying month after month to open the floor and fielding “gotcha” questions.

I, too, Mr. Parent, arrived at the last meeting 24 hours home from the hospital and wearing a mask for self protection, wanting to speak. I find it offensive that “privilege of the floor” and the whole Board Meeting had to be closed down because a few people cannot understand nor respect the democratic rights of others to speak or to have a different opinion.

GUEST VIEWPOINT

Transparency in medicine isn’t a one way street Peter J. Pitts> Center for Medicine in the Public Interest

www.cmpi.org/

A

majority of Americans believe increased healthcare transparency should be a top national priority. It’s easy to understand why. Rising healthcare costs, coupled with high profile stories of pricegouging at some small pharmaceutical companies, have left consumers feeling ripped off, especially when it comes to drug prices.

But most drug companies aren’t whimsically increasing prices. In fact, if the healthcare industry was really transparent, people could see the truth: drug companies often aren’t the culprits behind high costs. In fact, they’re the best hope for dramatically lowering healthcare spending. The so-called pharmaceutical “transparency” bills under consideration around the country won’t solve the price gouging problem, but they will make it harder to create the medicines that will actually reduce healthcare costs.

The prices patients actually pay aren’t set by drug manufacturers -- they’re determined by pharmacy benefit managers, insurers, hospitals, and pharmacies.

And these third parties frequently engage in … price-gouging.

Consider the “prescription price shell game” uncovered in Minneapolis, where a local CVS jacked up the price of a kidney medication to more than $6 per pill from 87 cents. Or the Levine Cancer Institute in North Carolina, which collected nearly $4,500 for a colon cancer drug that hospitals typically buy for $60.

Unfortunately, the media largely ignores such abuses, preferring to concentrate just on alleged misbehavior or greed by pharmaceutical companies.

When one drug maker released a breakthrough Hepatitis C cure, headline after headline blasted the company for the drug’s initial $84,000 price tag.

Few follow-up stories have noted that, because of competition from other drug makers, the manufacturer granted such big discounts -- often in excess of 50 percent -- that the medicine now costs less in the United States than in price-controlled Europe.

Even fewer stories put America’s healthcare spending in perspective.

Name-brand drugs accounted for just 7 percent of $100 billion increase in healthcare spending from 2013 to 2014.

Of course, medicines aren’t cheap to create. The average cost of developing an FDA-approved prescription medication is $2.6 billion, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. That represents a 145 percent increase over the past decade. For every successful new compound, hundreds of others once deemed promising end up abandoned.

Understandably, pharmaceutical companies don’t love to publicize their frequent failures. As a result, everyday Americans only see the successful, profitable drugs -- and the high price tags that stem from the cost of research plus the markups tacked on by third parties.

Misguided activists in multiple states, including California and New York, are capitalizing on public anger about seemingly overpriced drugs to advance legislation that would require companies to disclose their profits on certain high priced medicines, and the costs associated with developing them.

Such “transparency” bills won’t paint a representative picture of pharmaceutical profits or stop healthcare price gouging, especially among hospitals, insurers, and pharmacies. But that’s not the real purpose of the bills anyways.

The proposed laws are prerequisites to price control bills that would let the government cap drug prices.

Consumers are justifiably mad about healthcare costs. But their anger is misdirected. If the healthcare industry was truly transparent, Americans would see who’s really to blame for rising prices. With rare exception, it’s not the companies creating lifesaving medicines.

Peter J. Pitts, a former FDA Associate Commissioner, is the president and cofounder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.

At Sacred Heart, Edward Randall was remembered as Crown Point son who gave his life in World War II; Regent Deanne Dresser, Ticonderoga Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for reading the profiles of the four confirmed American Revolutionary Patriots from Crown Point; at Ironville Cemetery, we learned about Civil War soldier, Chester Rhodes, who gave his life at Antietam in 1862; Jackie Popp read Daniel Delaire’s profile as a veteran of the Vietnam War at White Church Cemetery; Kathy Hyatt told us of her father, Nelson Hyatt, who served in World War II and his long life in Crown Point; a World War II marine, Sherman Ross, was profiled at Putnam Creek Bridge; and at Forest Dale Cemetery we heard about the life and service during World War II of William Burrows, Jr. Thank you to one and all.

We also wish to remind people of the caretakers of the solemn places we visited on Memorial Day and are visited by family and friends throughout the year. Those who care for cemeteries and monuments in our community deserve our thanks for a tremendous job.

Thank you.

We would like to remind you again, if you have a veteran in your family, who was born in Crown Point or enlisted while a resident of Crown Point, please contact either of us or a Memorial Day Committee member so their

name can be listed in the Memorial Day booklet for next year. The veteran does not have to be a war veteran just an honorably discharged serviceman or woman.

Remember to honor those who gave their lives not only on Memorial Day, but every day by saluting the flag. When you place your hand over your heart during the national anthem, taps or the presentation of the American flag, it will make you proud to be a citizen of the United States and it just might make the person next to you do the same.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Obey? Really?

Gordie Little

Columnist

“To honor and obey.” They were part of our vows when Kaye and I exchanged rings in 1974.

We still love and honor each other.

We hold hands like young lovers when walking down the street. But, “obey?” Not so much.

Someone commented on how “quaint it is” after watching us hold hands walking on the sand at Myrtle Beach. Are we an anomaly? I hope not.

I understand why couples these days, eliminate the “obey” part. Even though theologians argue the point, I do not miss “obedience” in the vows.

One of our most cherished possessions is a marriage certificate from Kaye’s ancestors. The wording is unique from that union in Montreal more than two hundred years ago.

Our friend Les Bradford visited last week. He reminded me that he let me borrow a tiny book that is special. That was a while ago and, for a few minutes, I couldn’t remember it.

Noting my immense chagrin, Kaye jumped up, left the room and in two minutes, strode back, handing me that little book. The sweat around my neck began to dry and all was right with the world. How I love that woman.

Inside the cover is a depiction of “The Marriage in Cana,” the first miracle attributed to Jesus, when he turned water into wine. Next, comes the two-page spread certifying that Mr. Joseph W. Bradford and Miss Celia C. Walch are “united in marriage.”

It’s a time capsule from Middleborough, Massachusetts, November 4, 1858. J. W. Putnam, pastor of “1st church” made it official with his signature.

The tiny tome is titled “The Christian Minister’s Affectionate Advice to a Married Couple.” At 4 ½ inches by 3, it contains 97 pages and took a lot of squinting for me to get through it.

Those people in the mid 1800’s must have had excellent vision.

I doubt if that newly married couple sat down on the bed prior to the consummation of their marriage and read it cover-to-cover before hitting the sheets. But, some of the advice is interesting. In referring to “conjugal affection,” it warns, “sullen taciturnity checks its growth.”

Another quote: “A woman must guard against the tormenting disappointments to which childish expectations render her liable.” What?

My favorite is: “There should likewise be some allowance made for what is natural to men, especially Englishmen: namely, a certain bluntness, through which they seem to be indifferent when they are really not so.” Sound familiar, ladies?

Some of you might not agree with advice from Ephesians 5:22: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands..for the husband is the head of the wife.” Sorry, those tenets don’t apply in our household. Although I am more than three times bigger than Kaye, we take turns being boss. And when it comes to important decisions, her opinion is always tantamount or better than mine.

It’s a treasure for Les and a delight for me to hold and read 158 years after that Massachusetts marriage.

Love, live and be happy. It works for Kaye and me. This husband is definitely not the head of this wife and I like it this way.

A growing staff for the Ti Farmer’s Market

TICONDEROGA — As the Ticonderoga Area Farmers’ Market prepares for the summer, it can boast an additional layer of support. As the Market sponsor, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce announces additional staffing in the welcoming of June Curtis as the Market Advisor and Carol Wood Ramundo as the On-Site Market Manager.

“Both of these individuals are passionate about the market,” said Matt Courtright, Chamber Executive Director. “The tasks are vast and varied, requiring considerable skills and substantial hours. By sharing these responsibilities, June and Carol promise not only to continue the momentum built up over the past two years but also to raise the Market to new heights. Many markets start out with a volunteer market manager, but fail to plan for the transfer from volunteerism to a paid manager. With our sustainability plan necessitating a paid manager, I am elated with this staffing and grateful to the Town of Ticonderoga for their support in making the 2016 Farmers’ Market possible. With the support of the Town and other contributors, we are well on our way to greater success. A successful Market involves the whole community in which it serves. We greatly appreciate the Towns continued dedication to the mission and vision of the Chamber as well as the market.”

The Market Advisor position is primarily administrative. The responsibilities include processing the papers to authorize the market itself (which began in February) and the farmers with NYS Agriculture and Markets, to establish market rules, scheduling and development such as fundraising, publicity, financial record keeping, grant writing, and documentation for the Chamber and NYS. “Having Carol as the On-Site Market Manager is fabulous. Her enthusiasm, dedication and creativity are exceptional. She shares my vision of the Farmers’ Market becoming the heart and soul of the community, a place for people to comfortably mingle, a place alive with artistic, social and economic activities,” said June Curtis.

The Market Manager position is an OnSite Manager. The responsibilities include

coordinating market set-up and take down, assigning spaces, ensuring compliancy, collecting fees, maintaining grounds in a safe manner for consumers and vendors and being available for responding to questions and comments. In addition the On-Site Manager will coordinate and communicate with the Market Advisor and the Chamber.

Carol Wood Ramundo and her husband, Rick, own Wicker Wood, the site of the Ticonderoga Area Farmers’ Market. They are renovating the homestead (Carol’s) and plan to retire back to Ticonderoga at some point in the future. Carol and Rick ardently invited the Market to move to Wicker Wood in 2015, after the market outgrew the former site.

They were great stewards of this new site and were instrumental in the Market’s success in 2015.

“Hosting the Farmers’ Market on our property in 2015 was an inspiration for our making the decision to retire back to Ticonderoga in the future,” said Carol Wood Ramundo. “It was awesome to see the property come alive and the community come together. The farmers and vendors were outstanding, introducing us to a wide array of products in a friendly atmosphere. Who would have thought that we would host 250 visitors on a Saturday?

Farmers’ Markets are a key ingredient to the fresh, local food movement. I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting trend here in my home town of Ticonderoga.”

Ticonderoga has had a Farmer’s Market for many years, a Market more or less stagnant until 2014. In two years, the Market grew by 500 percent, touting five bona fide farmers and countless vendors, became compliant with NYS Ag and Markets requirements and made significant progress toward sustainability. Now in 2016, the goal is to continue the growth.

The Ticonderoga Area Farmers’ Market operates Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., beginning July 2, and runs to Oct. 8 (except for July 30th when the Market moves downtown for Streetfest). The location is Wicker Wood, 1114 Wicker Street, near the Walmart entrance across from Christopher Chevrolet Buick.

Ti Historical Society opens, expands days TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Historical Society has opened to the public for the 2016 season with expanded days. The Hancock House museum is now open seven days a week from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. This schedule will remain in effect until Labor Day. “We typically do not open all week until the beginning of July,” said Bill Dolback, President of the Historical Society. “But this year, increased visitors and expanded exhibits have allowed us to move to a full schedule sooner in the year.”

Permanent exhibits addressing local and regional history remain in place. However, the Historical Society has three specialized exhibits in place for this year. They include “From the Adirondacks to the Arctic,” “An Herbal History of the Adirondacks,” and “A Terrible Beauty – How the Adirondacks Aided the Fight for Irish Freedom.”

As a celebration of the Hancock House’s 90th anniversary, a gala 1920s-themed evening program featuring Hot Box Honey will take place Saturday, July 16. This event will include a picnic supper and costume contest with cash prizes.

The Summer O’Fair is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13, and will feature a morning bake sale and white elephant tent, along with an afternoon of Irish-themed reenactors and living historians, programs and an evening concert of music, dance and spoken word.

Specific information regarding programs and events can be obtained by calling the Historical Society at 585-7868, by checking Facebook or the THS website at ticonderogahistoricalsociety.org.

‘Food for Thought’ program comes to Hancock House TICONDEROGA — Modern American cuisine borrows from and mixes up foods and food traditions from all over the world.

People value eating local, but don’t let that dictate their menus. People sit in northern New York and happily wash down with coconut milk our crusty bread baked just down the road from Champlain valley flour. They choose their foods with an eye to what science tells us are its health benefits as well as what it means to them. That is, if they can afford it.

“Food for Thought,” a NY Council Public Scholars Program will be held at the Ticonderoga Historical Society’s Hancock House Friday, June 17, at 7 p.m. Historian Hallie Bond uses photographs, works of art, agricultural data, and contemporary accounts of

hunting, gathering, farming and homemaking to explore the long tradition of eating local in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. Promotional materials written for tourists and accounts written by visitors document the ways in which fresh and wild foods were an essential part of the visitor experience, and ways in which the region’s promoters used that association.

And what about the “locals?” What about the folks who couldn’t afford to eat at the palatial Prospect House on Blue Mountain Lake where they could get oysters for dinner in 1890? The history of “eating local” in the Adirondacks illuminates broader concepts.

The ways in which Adirondackers throve in spite of the short growing season and the thin, rocky soil which made farming difficult

can inspire today’s gardeners and locavores.

Asking why many people eat less well in the region since WWII prompts discussion of the industrialization of food production and the separation of home and work, not to mention today’s Adirondacker children whose main meal comes from the free and reduced price school lunch program. Samples of traditional liquid yeast and the bread made from it, French-Canadian buckwheat pancakes, and spruce beer help make this heavy discussion palatable.

Ms. Bond has written extensively on regional history and material culture. Her books include “Boats and Boating in the Adirondacks”, Adirondack Cookbook, and “A Paradise for Boys and Girls: Children’s Camps in the Adirondacks”. Ms. Bond has a

B.A. in History (Univ. of Colorado), a M.A. in Medieval Studies (Univ. of York), and a M.A. in American History with a Certificate in Museum Studies (University of Delaware).

She was on the staff of the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake for three years as Education Director and 27 years as Curator. She is now an independent historian/ museum consultant and Director of the Kelly Adirondack Center of Union College in Schenectady.

Gardeners donate books to Library TICONDEROGA — In observance of National Garden Week, Sunday, June 5 through June 11, the Carillon Garden Club of Ticonderoga and Hague donated two new books to the Black Watch Memorial Library in Ticonderoga and one to each of the area school libraries.

Adding to previously donated adult books on gardening to the Ti library, the club chose one of Kerry Ann Mendez’s newest books, “The Right Size Flower Garden,” addressing the need and desire to garden in smaller spaces and to simplify our outdoor space.

For the children’s library section at the Black Watch Library, “The Frightened Frog, An Environmental Tale,” has been added to the shelves.

Written by National Garden Club members Brenda Moore and Jean Ohlmann and illustrated by Emily Lackey, the book appeals to the young reader and contains a clear environmental message for all ages.

Lesson plans and the book were also donated to the Ticonderoga Elementary, St. Mary’s, Moriah/Port Henry Elementary School, Crown Point and Putnam School libraries.

For more information about the Carillon Garden Club and its many activi-

ties, projects and informative meetings, contact Joyce Cooper, membership chairperson at 585-2640 or president, Ann Westervelt at 585-6548.

The next regular meeting of the club is Thursday, June 16, at the Hague Community Center, at 10 a.m. The program is scheduled for 11:15 a.m., when Pat Wania will demonstrate the art of leaf manipulation for floral arrangements.

Wania is a certified National Flower

Show judge as well as President of the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State, Inc. of which Carillon Garden Club is a member.

Two new books were presented to the Black Watch Library in Ticonderoga by Ann Westervelt, Carillon Garden Club president to Beth Nadeau and Director Heather Johns of the library.

MINEVILLE — Time is running out for people to sign up for an innovative program offered for the first time at CV-TEC’s Mineville campus.

AIME 2.0 will start June 27, with tradesbased instruction being offered to graduating students and adults.

AIME stands for The Assembling Industry: Manufacturing and Education class, which has been offered in Plattsburgh for the past six years, currently working with its 17th class.

The class, which will run for eight weeks and provide 120 hours in training, will offer classes in Lean 101, Precision Measurement, Hand and Power Tool Use and Safety, Blueprint Reading, Intro to CNC Machining, Intro to Welding, Machine Maintenance and OSHA 10 Certification.

Participants will also be prepared to take the National Work Readiness Credential test.

This test measures situational judgment; active listening, workplace math and workplace reading. Soft skills are reviewed and integrated into every aspect of the program.

“In the fall, CV-TEC and many partner agencies held an Essex County Summit,” said

CVES Supervisor of Literacy, HSE and Job Skills Training Programs Cathy Snow. “We had a great turnout of local businesses. Based on their input and need, we decided to bring AIME 2.0 to Mineville.”

For the Mineville class, input was taken from companies like Pre-tech Plastics, General Composites, Crown Point Telephone/ Bridge Point Communications, International Paper, Essex Industries and North Line Utilities.

“The businesses in Essex County were unbelievably receptive,” Snow said.

Prior to the class starting, participants will participate in a tour of manufacturing businesses. At the conclusion of AIME 2.0 there will be an “Employment Seminar” at CV-TEC hosted by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. Students will have the opportunity to interview with several local manufacturing employers.

Graduating seniors should talk to their school counselor for more information. All others may contact Patty at 561-0430 ext.

3004.

AIME is a collaboration of the Essex County IDA, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Moriah Central School, Crown Point Central School, ETS, Inc., North Country Community College, Clinton Community College, CITEC and ACCES-VR.

Essex County Courthouse incurs water damage Flooding stemmed not from heavy rainfall, but rather a malfunctioning water fountain

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ESSEX — The Essex County Courthouse accrued significant water damage over the weekend due to a malfunctioning drinking fountain on the second floor.

A night watchman discovered torrents of water running through the facility on Sunday while making his rounds shortly after 5 p.m.

The water flooded a courtroom, cascaded down the stairs and dripped through the drop ceilings, resulting in a cornmeal-type sludge.

The Commissioner of Juror’s Room incurred significant damage, as did the clerk’s office, located two floors below.

Basement-level tiles pulled themselves loose; carpets were soaked, and bores will likely have to be drilled into walls to check for mold.

The total cost to repair the damages remained unclear on Monday, said Essex County Manager Dan Palmer, who said an insurance adjuster was on route.

The damages will be fully covered by insurance, Palmer said, and the repair process will be fast-tracked under an emergency clause.

On Monday, about two-dozen fans had been placed around the complex, droning

underneath exposed ceilings.

Essex County Clerk Joe Provoncha was attending a conference in Poughkeepsie when he got the call from a DMV staffer.

“Something awful has happened,” the em-

ployee said.

Provoncha hit the road and arrived at 1:30 a.m. Monday morning.

The clerk spent the night moving items out of harm’s way, including expensive copy ma-

chines and historical artifacts.

“Thank goodness it didn’t hit the books,” Provoncha said. “It didn’t hit the vault at all, I’m so grateful.”

All offices remain open. But it’s difficult to hear the phones ring over the roar of the fans.

Jury selection was scheduled to commence Monday for a pair of county and supreme court cases, but thankfully, the case were settled this week.

“We’re kind of fortunate about that, too,” Provoncha said.

The clerk and DMV are the most visited offices in the complex, Provoncha noted. Perhaps the disaster would allow the installation of tile flooring, which is easier to keep clean.

Provoncha hailed janitorial staff and the county’s buildings and grounds department for their efforts.

“They have been fabulous,” Provoncha said.

The complex opened on Dec. 1, 1996.

LAST MEETING: Lohr McKinstry, long-time Press Republican southern bureau editor, shakes hands with Moriah SuperviHas there been flooding besor Tom Scozzafava on Tuesday, May 21 at the Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting in Elizabethtown. McKinstry, of fore?

Port Henry, is moving on after 27 years on the job. Sun Community News wishes McKinstry the best of luck in his future “Not of this magnitude,” endeavors.

Resource center to benefit farms, food producers in Champlain Valley

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ESSEX — The region’s food producers got a huge boost this week with the formal launch of a new resource center.

Located smack-dab in the center of farm country, the Hub on the Hill will provide a broad array of services for local farmers and food producers under one roof.

A commercial kitchen, now operational, will allow local farmers to process their crops. The in-house co-packing unit will provide the equipment and legal expertise to transform raw ingredients into finished items. A retail space will give them a place to sell them, and a consulting firm can advise producers on how to expand and broaden their market.

The idea for the former warehouse on the corner of Middle Road and Route 22 had been in the works for years, said Jori Wekin, a founder and local farmer who has long been working on creating solutions to close some of the gaps in the region’s food system.

The process has been organic and will continue to evolve, said Wekin.

“We’re just letting it grow to suit the needs of the users, the farmers, the producers and consumers,” Wekin said.

Hub on the Hill’s vision encompasses more than just food production: The six-acre space is also intended as a gathering place for fostering creativity and community services, Wekin said.

The interior contains a stylish lounge, retail space and seating

area where patrons are invited to grab ready-made meals using local ingredients prepared by a local business, Flying Pancakes Catering.

A soup bar will ideally be installed within two weeks, said Susie Smith, the owner and chef, who is also the facility’s manager.

Guests are also encouraged to relax on one of two outdoor patios providing panoramic views of the scenic vista.

HOLES With the region’s agricultural resurgence comes new challenges, including working out kinks in the supply chain.

Despite the long agricultural history, eating locally-grown food is still an emerging industry.

While local businesses have expressed interest in procuring food from local sources, for instance, they have concerns about ensuring a steady supply.

Transport and storage also poses an issue.

Say, for instance, a local farm is willing to donate perishable items to a charitable organization: Where to store them?

Hub on the Hill is aware of the gaps.

To aid in solving these problems, they’ve enlisted Meghan Brooks, a University of Vermont grad student who is pursuing a Masters of Science in the school’s Food Systems Program.

As their summer intern, Brooks’ main goal is to aid in the creation of a formalized network between farmers and buyers, including restaurants, stores and institutions, including schools

and nursing homes.

Brooks said she is passionate in improving rural food access through distribution networks and generally just increasing awareness about local food.

One of her life goals is to increase the availability of healthy choices — fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains — into smaller convenience stores and supermarkets.

“My interests lie really in connecting people with local food in a number of different ways and building the community around food,” Brooks said.

LOCAL RESPONSE Response from the community has been favorable.

A launch party last week saw a steady stream of residents, farmers and friends tour the facility and enjoy live music and food under the early-summer skies.

Essex Initiatives President Ken Hughes said the civic group is a “complete supporter” of their efforts and will do everything they can to collaborate and support their future endeavors to raise the awareness of the importance of agriculture and agritourism in the region, as well as supporting local producers who want to contribute to the local economy.

“What we saw tonight at their grand opening was an enthusiastic outpouring of support and love by consumers, producers and neighbors alike,” Hughes said.

Volunteer positions are available. For more info, contact info@ thehubonthehill.org.

By Jill Lobdell

jill@suncommunitynews.com

WILLSBORO — Ready, set, go!

A total of 31 girls and coaches from around the region took place in the Girls Run 4 Fun three mile event in Willsboro Saturday, May 21.

Darcey Hurlburt, Willsboro team leader and run organizer, invited teams from Crown Point Central School and Keene Central School to join Willsboro students in grades 3-6 to take part in the Girls Run 4 Fun program. Students from St. Mary’s School were unable to attend.

Before the race, Congresswomen Elise Stefanik interacted with the girls and asked them about their goals.

“This is a healthy living program,” Hurlburt said. “They talk about being respectful, nutrition, exercise, common goals and bully prevention to name a few. Each school gears their goals to fit their own needs.”

“The best part of this race is seeing the girls who have finished go back and run with the girls who are still finishing. This is very encouraging,” Hurlburt said.

To make the run a success, the organizers had to get sponsors.

“We received sponsorships from the Pre-

vention Team in Ticonderoga with funds from United Way,” Hurlburt said. “We also received a $500 grant from 4Imprint toward the t-shirts. Stewarts donated ice cream cards for each of the girls as well.”

The youth enjoyed the time together with peers from other schools before, during and after the run.

“This run was really fun. I finished it, but

now I can’t feel my feet,” said Morgan Hurlburt of Crown Point.

Keene participants included: Olivia Ferebee, Stacy Hulbert, Haylie Buysse, Sarah Tansey, Addison Vanness, Maresley Harmer, Kailyn Hull, Zatela Gulli, Ella Whitney, Anya Kaze, Avry LaVallee, Maya Silversteen, Lisa Parker and Dawn Klotzko.

HobieÊ CatÊ RegattaÊ scheduledÊ forÊ JuneÊ 17Ê -19

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — The first Hobie Cat Regatta is scheduled to sail into Schroon Lake next month.

Expect the waters to be full of lightweight, multi-hull sailboats with brightly colored sails.

The boats will take to the water at about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 18.

This event is sponsored by the Schroon Lake Association in collaboration with Hobie Cat Fleet 204 from Oneida Lake in Onondaga County.

The boats will circle the course, which runs between the Boathouse Beach and the World of Life Island, twice. The winners of each class will be determined at the finish line, said SLA rep Glen Repko.

The process will be repeated, with as many races as possible completed by the end of the race day.

Watching the race is an enjoyable experience, Repko said, with “the most brilliantly colored sails screaming across the waves of the lake.”

“What a vantage point to watch a sailboat race, sitting on the hillside overlooking the lake,” he wrote.

Over 20 boats have registered so far.

$100,000, which is standard for racing vessels.

Non-members may join at the time of registration for $30. A class for newbies will be given at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and the boats will take to the water at 10:30 a.m.

A modified schedule will run on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Scores will be tallied and trophies awarded once the boats return to shore.

TO ENTER THE RACE Registration will begin at the Boathouse on Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. and will continue Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m.

Participants must be a member of the Hobie Racing Association and carry liability insurance in the amount of

TO VOLUNTEER Help from Schroon Lake Association members is needed to get the boats off the trailers and rigged for seaworthiness. No previous experience is necessary. Help is also needed on Sunday to put the boats back on the trailers. Call Glen at 518-351-5024 to volunteer.

Review board skeptical over Adirondack Council-sponsored study

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — A new study by Clarkson University has determined that proximity to lands classified as Wilderness generates up to a 25 percent premium on property values.

Martin Heintzelman, an associate professor of economics and financial studies, studied 77,000 property transactions spanning a decade in the 12 counties that constitute the Adirondack Park.

The findings apply to properties within 0.5 to six miles of Wilderness-designated areas.

“People seeking to purchase homes and businesses in northern New York paid more for the same property inside the Adirondack Park than they would have outside of it,” the study concluded.

Heintzelman formally presented his findings at the Adirondack Research Consortium’s annual conference last month in Lake Placid.

“There’s a premium for all buyers for this protected wilderness,” Heintzelman said.

The Adirondack Council, the region’s leading environmental advocacy organization, was quick to seize on the findings, touting in a news release that “wilderness helps [the] Adirondack economy.”

A number of environmental and ecological groups also issued praise on the report’s findings, which was issued on May 10, the same day the state formally purchased the Boreas Ponds Tract in North Hudson and Newcomb from the Nature Conservancy, setting up what’s anticipated to be a heated land classification process.

But the report was met with skepticism from local officials who say the mechanisms underpinning the economic health of a community are far more nuanced than studying property values.

“How does it help the economy if you drive up the cost of a home by 25 percent?” asked Fred Monroe, executive director of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board (APLGRB), at their meeting in Keene

Valley last month.

Monroe said the survey’s scope was too narrow.

“They just looked at property value,” Monroe said. “It’s a different question if that improves the Adirondack economy.”

Furthermore, rising property values, he said, often have adverse effects on the working-class populations in the community — including in Chester, where Monroe served as supervisor, and Schroon in Essex County.

“The residents have been driven off the lake,” Monroe said, citing the escalating costs of properties on the east side of Schroon Lake.

Jerry Delaney, the group’s chairman, ticked off a number of factors that cause an increase in property values: Lakefront property plays a role, he said, citing rising values at the south end of Chazy Lake in Dannemora.

The area is fast becoming a bedroom community to Plattsburgh, Delaney added, making property in the community increasingly desirable for those who do not want to live in the city.

Conservation easements, too, also drive up the cost of land, especially through competitive bidding processes, he said.

Roger Wright, a retired real estate agent and former president of the Clinton County Board of Realtors, said the market goes in cycles.

“It always has, and it probably always will,” Wright said. “I question the validity of any study that says creating Wilderness creates value.”

Hamilton County is one of two counties entirely within the Adirondack Park.

Ninety percent of land in Indian Lake is state-owned, said Brian Wells, the town’s supervisor. As such, private parcels, which constitute just a fraction of available land in the community, are already at a premium regardless of where they are located.

“It’s just too narrow,” Wells said of the study.

Wells said the scarcity leads to workingclass people being priced out of the market, a

trend that is also fueled by the trend of sellers who overinflate their selling prices — especially for waterfront property.

In turn, the prices of homes that are comparable are also driven up.

Often the only way for locals to remain in the community, he said, is when property is inherited from family members, he said.

Wright said assessors are often under pressure to push assessments “as high as they possibly can to keep the tax rates from skyrocketing.”

The Adirondack Council and Heintzelman, the study’s author, stress that the survey doesn’t advocate for how land should be classified.

Heintzelman, in response to the criticism, said the study chose real property transactions because they are an important indicator of economic interest and activity.

Higher real estate prices show that there is increased interest in a specific place and increased competition to be nearby, he said.

“Unfortunately, other indicators of economic activity are not as firmly rooted in space as property transaction prices, and so it is challenging to associate these macro measures with local land uses,” Heintzelman said.

The study, he added, does not say that the cost of every home in a community rises 25 percent near Wilderness areas.

“The sweet spot appears to be near, but not too near, to Wilderness areas,” Heintzelman said.

The study controls for whether parcels are waterfront or not, so the results are not being driven by that difference, he said.

“We know this is a controversial issue in the Adirondacks.”

The disagreement over the study sets the stage for the upcoming land classification process, which officially began when Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed off on the purchase last month with a ceremony at Elk Lake in North Hudson.

The Adirondack Council is a leading voice in the coalition to classify Boreas Ponds, Ma-

cIntyre West and MacIntyre East as mostly Wilderness.

Aside from the ecological diversity of the tracts, underpinning the environmental group’s argument is that two of the Adirondack Park’s most prosperous communities, Keene Valley and Lake Placid, also serve the two most popular entryways to the High Peaks Wilderness Area.

A similar classification in North Hudson and Newcomb would ideally lead to similar benefits, the group believes.

A Wilderness designation would create 280,000 acres of motor-free contiguous wilderness.

The five towns surrounding the 20,758-acre tract — Minerva, Newcomb, North Hudson, Indian Lake and Long Lake — are calling for less restrictive classification of the land allowing more user groups to benefit from it. Included in that plan would be the usage of motorized vehicles, such as snowmobiles, which officials say will provide economic benefits while also opening up access for the disabled.

Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway, in response to criticisms of the study, said real estate prices vary widely across the state.

An acre of land in the Adirondacks, he said, is much cheaper than an acre of land in Albany, and far cheaper still than a similar acre in Westchester County, Long Island or Manhattan.

“Regardless of location, higher real estate prices show that people are interested in a place and want to invest in building a future there,” Janeway said.

When economies grow, prices go up for real estate nearby, he said.

“It is a simple fact of supply and demand.

Increased demand for something leads to increased competition for it. If real estate prices were falling near wilderness areas, we would expect local officials to worry that wilderness was harming local economies. Clearly, wilderness is helping local economies,” Janeway said.

LadyÊ SentinelsÊ areÊ FinalÊ FourÊ bound Softball team first girls team to reach state round in school history

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — If you are going to make school and program history, you don’t want to just re-write a page in the record book, but require the creation of a new edition.

That is what the Ticonderoga varsity girls softball program is hoping to do after already winning the first regional playoff game and regional championship games in program history, making them the first girls team to make it to a final four.

Now, it is on to the Moreau Rec Park in South Glens Falls, where they hope to continue to make history.

“We have a chance if we keep playing the way we have been,” said senior second baseman Savannah Bezon. “We need to keep hitting and we have to stay at two or fewer errors in each game.”

“The biggest thing will be hitting,” junior shortstop Haleigh Wright said.

“We have to keep doing the same things we have been doing all year and keep the team chemistry going,” senior first baseman Brittany Bruce added.

“The girls deserve all of the credit,” head coach Eric Mullen said. “As long as we go down there and play our game and don’t give anything away, then I would say it will be a successful trip.”

The Sentinels reached the state championship round with a pair of convincing wins in regional play last week.

In the regional semifinal against Greenville June 2, the Sentinels scored eight runs in the fifth inning, turning a 1-1 game into an eventual 10-1 triumph. Kaylee Coon was a big part of the fifth inning, scoring twice after drawing a leadoff walk and then connec t ing on a tworun homerun. Haleigh Wright added a pair of doubles and Savannah Bezon added a double to the Sentinel offense, Savannah Bezon connected on a trio of doubles last while HanRoss week, giving her four doubles and a triple in the play- nah limited the offs.

Greenville bats to four hits and one run while striking out seven.

The first and fourth innings were the key to the Sentinels regional championship against St. Lawrence June 4, as the team scored two in the first and seven in the second to score a 12-1 win to advance to the final four.

Savannah Bezon hit her second double in as many days for the Sentinels, this one being the first hit of the game to score the first of two runs. Wright and Carly Campney also added doubles, while Bruce dominated in the circle, striking out 13 while allowing one run on eight hits.

In previous years, Mullen said hitting would always be an issue when the team reached the regional round, so they wanted to take a more patient approach at the plate in 2016.

“We have focused on being patient and waiting for a pitch,” Mullen said. “We would run into a pitcher in regionals we could not catch up with, so we wanted to simplify it and focus on getting around on fastballs.”

Mullen noted it’s a page taken from the Kansas City Royals, who focused on hitting the fastball as part of the their World Series winning strategy.

Another key to the Sentinel offense has been the power coming from Wright, a junior who put together a string of six straight games with a homerun.

“I noticed early on she had started to hit with more power,” Mullen said. “It is what I expected, in a way, but it is also more than I hoped for.”

“I changed my swing up a little,” said Wright. “I worked a

lot off the machine, in the cage and off the tee. Focusing on the mechanics of my swing has really been the main thing.”

Another area the team has progressed over the season is in the field, as the Sentinels have started to limit their mistakes as the pressure ramps up.

“One of my biggest concerns over the regular season was defense,” Mullen said. “But since sectionals started, we have really stepped that part of our game up. We had some great double plays by Savannah in the sectional final, and Grace Montville made a diving catch in regionals in left field while Kristen Palandrani tracked down a pair of fly balls in center and almost got to a third.”

In the center of the defense, Ross has shined, as the senior pitcher has increased her strikeouts and effectiveness in the regional round.

Carly Campney is one of the middle-of-the-field defenders for the Sentinels, who have played solid defense in Photo by Jill Lobdell “The last two games she has the postseason. really been dialed in,” Mullen said. “She has been working down in the zone and making it easier for her defense to make plays.”

“As we went further into the season, I knew I would have to pitch smarter,” Ross said about the transition every person who toes the mound must make from thrower to pitcher. “I had to make sure I was keeping my pitches down in the zone and getting command of all of my pitches.”

With the wins, the Sentinels (14-2) jumped from the 18th-ranked team in Class C (New York State Sportswriter’s Association poll) to fourth. On Saturday, they will face the number two team in the rankings when they play Section IV’s Notre Dame from Elmira, who enter the game with a 19-4 record on the season. The game will start at 11:30 a.m. on Field D at the Moreau Rec Center. Notre Dame advanced to the final four by beating the previous top-ranked team in Class C, Cooperstown, 4-0, handing them their second loss of the season.

At the same time, newly-crowned No. 1 East Rockaway from Section VIII (13-8) will face Section V’s Caledonia-Mumford (20-5), Senior Brittany Bruce looks to make contact against Greenville in the Class C regional semis. ranked third.

Sentinel baseball team falls in reg. finals; MCS golfers struggle at Cornell

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

AMSTERDAM — The Ticonderoga varsity baseball team also had their chance to advance to the Class C final four June 4, with a regional final game against Section II’s Greenwich.

However, a three-run span over the middle innings proved to be the difference as the Witches scored a 5-2 win, advancing to the state round over the Sentinels.

“We hit the ball right at people,” head coach Dan Dorsett said. “It was a very balanced game. We hit the ball well, we didn’t get the breaks they did.”

Both teams had six hits in the game, with Sentinel senior catcher Brody Rocque providing the only two extra-base hits in the game with a double and triple.

Taking the loss on the mound for the Sentinels was senior Ryan Trudeau, who completed a stellar career as the ace of the Ticonderoga staff, a position he has held since his sophomore year.

Dalton Granger also saw time on the mound, allowing one run in 2-and-2/3 in-

nings.

The Sentinels were able to return to the top of Section VII one year after falling to 2016 Class D champion Northern Adirondack.

The team will lose three seniors in Trudeau, Rocque and outfielder Jacob Spaulding.

“They are a big part of this team,” Dorsett said. “We have a good group of young guys and hopefully, this will make them hungry.”

Granger and Caleb Munson, both juniors, will return to the mound for the Sentinels next season, while sophomore Evan Graney will also return in the middle of the infield.

Kroes leads Section VII golfers ITHACA — Lake Placid’s Bjorn Kroes was the low man for the Section VII team as they competed in the NYSPHSAA state championship meet at Cornell University June 5-6.

Kroes, the Section VII tournament runner up, opened the tournament with a 77 and fired an 80 on the second day for a two-round score of 157 (9-over par), placing him in a tie for 28th place and only six shots behind champion Connor Daly, who shot even par on the second day to hold a 3-over score.

Overall, the Section VII golfers fared better on day one, posting higher scores on the second day.

Lake Placid’s Drew Maiorca was the next Section VII golfer to place, as he had rounds of 81 and 85 to finish wit ha 23-over 165, tying for 53rd.

Nate Devins of AuSable Valley followed with rounds of 84 and 86 for a 28-over final score of 170, finishing in a tie for 71st.

Saranac Lake’s Mike Rice improved his score on day two, hitting and 85 to go with an opening day 89 to finish at 32-over (174), alone in 83rd place. Peru’s Gavin Plympton also had a better day two, shaving seven strokes off his score for a 91-84-175 (33over), tied for 84th.

Meanwhile, Saranac Lake’s Tristin Fitzgerald dropped 14 strokes off his day one pace, moving up 12 positions and finishing with a 95-81-176, placing 86th.

Fitzgerald’s teammate Zach Ellsworth finished in 88th place with a two day score of 36-over (87-91-178).

The Moriah duo of Kyle Wilson and Section VII champion Joe Stahl rounded out the field at states, with Wilson shooting rounds of

92 and 88 for a 38-over 180, while Stahl had a rough second day, shooting a 22-over 93, falling 11 positions to 91st place with a two day total of 181 (39-over).

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — A host of athletes from Section VII will be making their way to Syracuse this weekend for the NYSPHSAA Track and Field Championships, set for June 10-11 at CiceroNorth Syracuse High School.

Athletes prepared for events during the Section VII state qualifier meet June 3 at AuSable Valley High School, where Saranac’s Mitch Fink and Desiree Dashnaw each claimed the pentathlon.

Fink scored 2,869 points to win the boys five-event contest, placing first in the 110-hurdles, high jump, shot put and long jump. He placed fourth in the 1,500. Fink beat out AuSable Valley’s Joseph Forker, who scored 2.233 points(first place in the 1,500; second place high jump and long jump), while Ticonderoga’s Cody Huestis finished third with 2,069 points (second place 110 hurdles and shot put). Peru’s Aaryn Clark finished with 1,940 points.

EKMW’s Jarron Boyle earned a spot on the state roster with a time of 16.24 seconds in the 110 hurdles, defeating Saranac’s Noah Pearsall (17.04) and Talon Bushey of PHS (18.64).

In the 1,600, EKMW standout Jon Gay scored a time of 4:43.54 in winning the event by 14 seconds over Saranac Lake’s Anderson Gray (4:57.84). EKMW’s Logan Van Buren finished third, followed

by Lake Placid’s Henry McGrew, Plattsburgh High’s Ryan Flora, Seton Catholic’s Jake Glicksman. Saranac’s Brexton Montville and

Peru’s Ben Post.

In the 4-by-100 relay, Beekmantown scored a three second win (43.94 seconds) over Ticonderoga (46.84) in the boys event, while Beekmantown (51.54 seconds) defeated Saranac Lake, Peru, PHS, Ticonderoga and Saranac.

Saranac’s Rory Patterson got the Chiefs back to the top of the podium with a time of 52.34 seconds in the 400, defeating Beekmantown’s Everett Sapp by two-tenths of a seconds (52.54). Luka Tsikluari (PHS), Luis Medina (EKMW), Dillon Crowe (Ticonderoga) and Gage Ducatte (Chazy) followed. In the girls 400, Claire Deshaies of PHS (1:01.74) scored a one second win over Juliette Baker of EKMW (1:02.74). They were followed by Ticonderoga’s Delaney Hughes, Saranac’s Rebekah Hilpl and Northeastern Clinton’s Ashley Monette.

In the 800, Peru’s Isaiah Maddix dominated the second half of his race against EKMW’s Gay, scoring a four second win with a time of 2:00.84. The duo were followed by Saranac Lake’s Tyler Martin, Ticonderoga’s Brandon Romaca, Lake Placid’s Forest Ledger, Peru’s Paul Ryder, Saranac Lake’s Bryce Hartman and Caranac’s Logan Clark. Kirsten Villemaire of Beekmantown won the ladies event in a time of 2:23.14, five seconds faster than Saranac Lake’s Brittany Shumway (2:28.94). Makayla Stockwell (EKMW), Hailey Christiansen (AVCS) and Kiersten Harvey (Beekmantown) followed.

Ticonderoga’s Colvin Chapman scored a win in the high jump, hitting the mark of 5’-11” in defeating teammate Collin Bressett.

“I think the extended rest I had (did not compete at sectionals) helped and I was jumping against my teammate, so it was a fun event,” Chapman said. “Jumping is really a psychological game.”

However, it was not a sweep for the Sentinels in the high jump, as Peru’s Ella Messner was able to clear the 4’-10” mark in less attempts then sectional champion Meg McDonald. The duo were followed by Beekmantown’s Olivia Boyette.

In a competitive boys long jump, Saranac’s Tyler Blair (20’10.75”) scored a narrow win over Beekmantown’s Brogan Arthur (20’-10.0”), followed by Ticonderoga’s Justyn Granger, Lake Placid’s Trent White, Saranac’s Ben Ayock, Ticonderoga’s Lance Shaner and Beekmantown’s Dylan Ferrigno.

Watson of PHS scored the win in the boys triple jump with a mark of 42’-7”, almost two feet ahead of runner up Luke Maye of Saranac (40’-9.25”). They were followed by Saranac’s Eric Delutis, Joe Lyons of PHS, Taylor Whitcomb of AVCS and Collin Bressett of Ticonderoga.

Beekmantown’s Matthew Villa and Saranac Lake’s David Sullivan had a showdown in the boys shot put, with both hitting a mark of 40’-7.5”, with Villa earning the victory. Anthony Jensen of NCCS, Clay Watts of Beekmantown, Jared Pike and Riley Quigley of Ticonderoga and Alex Dumas of Peru followed. Coon scored a win for PHS in the girls event with a throw of 36’-7.5’, almost three feet ahead of runner up Valerie Simmons of NCCS (33’-10”).

Saranac’s Logan Thatcher and Kylie Wiedman were the next two in line, followed by Stephania Zelinski (EKMW), Alexis Sanders (Ticoneroga), Allison Houle (Saranac) and Hayley Disco (NCCS).
