Supporting their Lady Sentinels

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — Voters here will have the chance to save the incorporated village government or continue down the road toward dissolving it Tuesday, Aug. 16.

Members of the Port Henry Board of Trustees voted unanimously during its Monday, June 13, regular board meeting to hold the referendum on the dissolution plan Tuesday, Aug. 16, from noon until 9 p.m. at the Port Henry Volunteer Fire Department.

The vote became necessary after a permissive referendum petition was submitted to the village last month with 221 verified voter signatures.

At the beginning of the meeting, former Mayor Gary Cooke, who submitted the petition to the village, said he firmly believes there are other ways to decrease taxes while keeping a form of village government in place.

Cooke said the main issue is the amount of money village residents pay to help support town services.

“We agree taxes need to be reduced,” Cooke said. “But how can we expect the services will be taken care of in the village by a group who can’t take care of it’s own area?”

Cooke claimed the village taxpayers represent 49 percent of all money spent on town roads and streets and 25 percent of money used to take care of services outside the village.

“We’re better off here,” he said. “We have paid our bills for

Leathernecks seek new members to flesh out declining ranks

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

CROWN POINT — The United States Marine Corps is known for being small in numbers, but great in honor, courage and commitment.

The few, the proud.

No man left behind.

Semper Fidelis.

All are common phrases.

Marines are known for taking care of their fellow Marines regardless of their circumstances, and no matter how few of them there

are.

The Essex County Leathernecks are a prime example.

With 45 due-paying members, the group only has a handful of active members, said Robert Tompkins, commandant of Essex County Leathernecks, Marine Corps League Det. #791.

The county-level league was started in the 1960s with its members originating from all throughout Essex County, Tompkins explained.

But membership is ailing as the members grow older and leave the state for fairer climes.

The group once participated in parades and color guard ceremonies at Ti-Moriah football games. Facilitating Toys for Tots drives was popular, as was delivering Easter baskets to shut-ins, mostly military personnel.

“They loved it,” Tompkins said.

The commandant mentioned the stories he’s heard and some of the older Marines he has met — like the fellow who participated in the first wave of Iwo Jima.

Nowadays, their activities are limited mostly to funeral send-offs during which they play taps on a bugle and conduct graveside flag-folding ceremonies.

With the declining membership, Tompkins

admits to occasionally second-guessing his participation.

But for Marines or service members from any branch that pass on, Tompkins said it’s important to send them off in military fashion.

“They’re our brothers,” he said.

The group is hoping young Marines will join to regain the camaraderie they experienced while serving, and join their band of brothers in Essex County. He said they’re also trying to update their website so potential members can learn more about them.

Trekonderoga readies for second year Bigger schedule highlighted by concert with Elvis and Blues Brothers

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — James Cawley stood outside the studios which bears the name “DesiLu,” measuring and cutting pieces of wood as part of a new set design for the USS Enterprise.

“We are trying to get the sets 100 percent complete this year, which is cool,” he said as he cut another piece of wood for the structure. “I have been at this a long time and it will be great to see everything in place.”

Cawley and a host of workers are preparing for the second year of Trekonderoga, a joint venture between the creator of the Star Trek: New Voyages web series and the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance (TRA).

“Our goal has always been to improve and make this event bigger as time goes on,” said Cawley. “We want to keep expanding things, and we want to bring it more into the 2000’s.”

The event will be held Aug. 12-14 this year, after a successful launch in September of last year. One of the main events of the 2016 sci-fi extravaganza will be a concert, set for Saturday night, Aug. 13, as Cawley will be doing his professional Elvis impersonation music review with his band, The American Longboards. He will be joined by a Blue Brothers impersonation group.

“It will be a lot of fun,” Cawley said. “Both of us have been doing this for many years, more than we may want to admit.

They are friends from the Trekie circuit and they enjoy doing the things I do. They came up last year as fans and really loved it and wanted to come back and be more involved.”

This year, celebrity guests from Star Trek include Michael Dante, Gary Lockwood, BarBara Luna, Felix Silla, Louise Sorel, and Beverly Washburn.

Keir Dullea and Lockwood also starred in, “2001: A Space

Odyssey.”

Events include a “Dinner with the Stars,” presentation of, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” with Lockwood and Dullea and other celebrity presentations.

There will also be a cosplay costume contest, with attendees dressing up as their favorite character for your chance to win a prize.

Other attractions include opportunity for photos with and autographs from celebrities and ice cream social, special effects, costuming and makeup workshops run by industry professionals, a special science-focused workshop, a special retrospective on Star Trek’s 50th anniversary and trivia masters contest.

Displays will include the 1966 Batmobile, Doctor Who’s TARDIS, the Zhang Heng Prius-class shuttlecraft, the Blues Brothers Bluesmobile, and a special edition James Bond tribute car.

For more information and to purchase tickets for the events, visit the web site trekonderoga.com.

TICONDEROGA

Ti seniors finish school year with project presentations

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Along with the finals, labs and tests, seniors at Ticonderoga Central School have another rite of passage in order to pass the threshold from student to graduate.

The senior project, where each member of the graduating class comes up with a project and prepares for the last regular school week of the year, where they present it to a panel of teachers, local leaders and former students who have been through the process.

The projects are as diverse as the students who are presenting them. Timothy Ryan, the class valedictorian, founded the first Model UN chapter at Ticonderoga, which went to the Northeastern Clinton Model UN conference.

“I wanted to expand a program into the school and it is something to benefit the students,” Ryan said. “This year was a trial run and next year it will be more of an official club, because I believe the key to a senior project is to expand and give Ti High a little more of an advantage.”

Ryan said he went to the school board to originally get approval for his project and again to make sure it would continue into the 2016-17 school year. He also said he would like to see the program expand to where the students would participate in national events.

“I know a lot of schools go to Harvard, but since I am going to Yale, I would like to see my school come there for Model UN,” he said. “These are world-wide conferences with different countries sending high school students, so it becomes a United Nations.”

Sheila Jordon presented her project on selfsustainability and the chicken coop she had created for her brood.

“You would be amazed how much you can save when you create a garden area or raise chickens for eggs,” Jordon said. “There are many benefits to living off the land.”

Ticonderoga senior Nick St. Denis poses with his senior project on the wall of the school’s art room.

Sadie Thompson used her passion for family history to inspire her project.

“I wanted to show how family history ties into immigration,” she said. “Most people can trace their ancestry back to a foreign country, which is a message I feel is important right now.”

As part of the project, Thompson also cleaned and cared for a family gravesite, which had ancestors dating back to a relative born during the height of the War of 1812.

“It was something my grandfather and I had wanted to do, and this project put a spark into both of us,” she said. “We did a lot of

work putting back up head stones and cleaning them all.”

Hunter May gave a presentation on bullying and ways to help prevent it from happening. May focused on the issues created through cyber-bullying.

“Before, you had to be in front of someone to bully them,” he said. “Now, I can be in Tennessee and you can be here and I can get onto a computer, technology has made it easier to be bullied.”

Jamie Cox presented a CD of music she had recorded with the use of different instruments, and how it could be applied in the

profession of musical therapy.

“After World War I and II, vets started to use music therapy, but the practice has really turned into a profession over the past 30 to 40 years,” Cox said.

About putting together the CD and learning to play numerous instruments, Cox said, “it’s work, but I have been doing it so long and it does not feel like work at all.”

In all, 53 presentations were given, some by a duo of students, like Colvin Chapman and Sam Shelmadine, who worked together on a Tesla Coil and presented it to their panel.

t’s Sunday afternoon and once again we are shocked at the senseless death of 49 people and another 53 seriously injured who were going about their lives in Orlando when a lone terrorist, who had pledged his allegiance to ISIS, opened fire.

As more facts and details come to light there will be plenty of time for finger pointing and blame, but for now our thoughts and prayers need to be with those who lost their lives, those injured in the attack and their families.

Like so many of these events whether it be homegrown terror, deranged individuals, or foreign countries who have declared war on our country these are times when we need to come together and not tear ourselves apart over political differences.

We can’t be so divided that we over look our most common of interests, keeping the country and her citizens safe, especially here in our homeland.

Our security personnel have an extremely difficult job, made even more difficult by the open society we all enjoy in this country, but all too often take for granted.

Early indications are the gunman had been looked at twice in recent years by the FBI for terrorist threats, but lacked sufficient evidence to pursue any charges.

Our fair judicial system restricts us from locking up folks who speak of hate toward others yet when the dust settles we will need to seek solutions that help the authorities deal with radical influences that drive individuals to take such heinous actions. There is an estimated 15,000 individuals in the country today that have communicated, in one way or another, with ISIS. In the coming days and weeks this event will be a hot topic in the presidential campaigns and I fear our political climate will disrespect those who lost their lives by using the event to drive an agenda instead of seeking solutions on a more united front.

It’s clear that no country is immune from this form of warfare which seeks to kill the helpless non-combatants and terrorize the masses with brutal, unthinkable actions. Military might and powerful weapons are no match for sole gunmen who strike without notice and place no value on their own survival.

Internal infighting and fear is their only goal and we must not allow them to gain this advantage by playing into their hands. The country and the world must be united to defeat this plague.

A sports season to remember T

his has been a season to remember for many athletes in the land of Section VII. Coming off the final weekend of the 2015-16 academic sports year, the section brought home its fourth state championship as the quartet of Nathan Handy, Matt Villa, Loudon Frechette and Daryn Nephew took the gold in the Division II NYSPHSAA track and field 4-by-100 relay for the Beekmantown Eagles.

Along with their success, Seton Catholic’s prolific distance runner and future University of New Hampshire athlete Margaret Champagne claimed two medals at the championships.

With track, the Ticonderoga Lady Sentinel varsity softball team reached the NYSPHSAA Final Four for the first time, falling to Notre Dame of Elmira amidst the rain drops and weather delays in Fort Edward.

That’s not all. In the past season, as you will see in the story on our sports pages this week, Section VII has claimed four state championships, has placed three more teams in the championship game and has had five more teams reach the state round of play (semifinals). That is a total of 12 teams who competed admirably at the state level, a huge accomplishment for one of the smallest sections in the state.

The credit, first and foremost, goes to the players. They have been able to train, work and sacrifice to get onto the state stage. It is something that is extremely rare and everyone should be proud of their accomplishments.

Along with the players are the parents, who get to see their child’s excitement as they realize goals and made memories that will last a lifetime. These are the ones who drove them to and from little league and biddy games when they were young, rearranged work schedules and other tasks to provide rides to preseason practices and to be on the sidelines for their games from modified to junior varsity and then varsity. They travel when their children make the state level and are the first their with either a huge of congratulations of consolation.

We also have the coaches who dedicate their time to teach the sport and do everything they can to help their teams and players excel. They do it regardless of accolades, and, too often, at scorn of parents who think Tommy didn’t get enough time or those who second guess them. In the end, what they do is

important in the lives of these children, with many life lessons being taught on the field and courts.

Then, there are the fans. Several times, we have written about fans and some of the concerns we see on the sideline. This year, those concerns seem to temper, somewhat, to the point where we can say this was one of the better years for fan behavior we have seen in the league.

Don’t get us wrong: There is still a long way to go, and a successful season often tempers the sometimes venomous contempt that can come from the stands, but any level of improvement is a step in the right direction.

We hope everyone has involved the coverage of Section VII sports this season in the pages of The Sun. We also brought home a championship, of sorts, as the picture of the PHS boys soccer team after winning the Class B semifinal game taken by Jill Lobdell took home a third place award at the national FCPNY convention.

With all the success there has been this season, we can’t wait to see what will happen as the calendar makes its way towards the fall sports season. There are already numerous story lines: Can the Chazy boys varsity soccer team reclaim their spot atop Class D, or are we seeing the start of a new dynasty in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Westport Griffins?

Will control shift in the annual football rivalry games between Class B’s Beekmantown and Peru along with Class D’s Moriah and Ticonderoga. Can the Sentinels return to state glory?

Speaking of Moriah, will they stay atop the Class D mountain without Adam Jaquish and Taylor Slattery, and can returning starters Dylan Trombley and Joe Stahl (who will look to repeat as Section VII golf champion in the spring) lead the Vikings back to the Civic Ce — oops, I mean — to Binghamton?

These, and many more questions, will all be answered in 2016-17.

We will be watching it all.

GoodspeedÊ wasÊ aÊ strongÊ advocate To the Editor: Recently the clients of the North Country Food Pantry of North Creek lost a strong advocate in the forced retirement of 25-plus year volunteer Evelyn Goodspeed. The reason the directors gave: Evie was negative and disruptive. Let me give you some examples of her negativity and disruptiveness. She objected to the following: 1. She questioned the excessive stockpiling of food that could be used by the clients instead of saving it for a calamity which has never happened.

2. The waste of case after case of perishable foods including the recent waste of three

A

3.

4.

cases of cheese left in the coolers until the “use by” date had expired. Most perishable foods have short expiration dates.

The disrespect of some clients by some, but not all, of the volunteers. Some examples include saying that certain clients “stunk,” by calling certain Christian missionaries “beggars looking for a handout,” and screaming across the pantry at certain clients “you’re taking too much soup,” when in actuality they were picking up for two families. This last incident was reported to both regional and local boards of directors by the people affected.

While I was a volunteer (four years) there were numerous occasions of full cases of canned goods disappearing. Were those reported to the board?

5.

Here is one last example although there are many more that could be mentioned. Several years ago, at Thanksgiving time, several clients asked for cranberry sauce. They were told “no,” that what was there was for the Christmas boxes. Evie checked in the storeroom and found 13 cases, more than enough for both holidays. She went over the director’s head and got the extra cases released for, as she would say, “Her People.”

When asked if she wanted a retirement party, Evie said no, she didn’t want to be rewarded for doing what she thought was right. Now isn’t that just the epitome of negative and disruptive? Thanks Evie, for more than 25 years of caring for “Your People.”

GUEST VIEWPOINT

COMMENTARY

The lodge at Boreas Ponds: A historical perspective Kent Gregson> Stonemason from Indian Lake, NY kgregson@ymail.com

I

read your editorial “Lodge at Boreas Ponds Should Stay or be relocated to Serve as Visitor’s Center.” I am the stonemason who built the fireplace. Indeed this “gorgeous facility” would make a great visitors area for the Boreas Ponds.

The “L” shaped building goes 75-feet in one direction and around 80-feet in the other. The large space is multi-functional and could serve in many ways.

The lodge is seven miles or so from pavement on roads that were built and maintained for heavy truck use by Finch Pruyn, some of the best dirt roads in the Adirondacks.

As you say, the lodge is handicap accessible but what about the able bodied visitor? This is a remote area with many recreational opportunities, some more dangerous than others, but none without risk. Emergency access for this area costs time, lots of it. There’s road access to the south and west, but the terrain gets vertical and rough. There are the trails to the high peaks which attract lots of hikers. Increasing public land and access in remote areas will result in more accidents, injuries and evacuation scenarios statistically. The lodge would be a good center of operations and communications in these situations.

On the other hand, relocating the building is unfeasable. There are 20 tons of Corinthian Granite (from Champlain Valley Stone) in the fireplace. If someone did manage to replicate it, I suppose I’d be flattered, but at what expense? Far cheaper, easier and probably better looking would be to build new.

The logs are fastened together with foot long cabin spikes and have cured for many years. They’d never go back together as neatly and cleanly again. Better to build new.

Relocation misses another point. This building site is magnificent by itself and the building is made for it. A wide flat promontory in spectacular country. The view from the porch is so awe inspiring that I made a bench in the back of the fireplace to see the view from the porch. While I was building, Finch Pruyn C.E.O. Dick Carota came by “whenever he was in the neighborhood,” could be several times a week. It was a favorite project. The crew who built it were Finch Pruyn employees from Newcomb. A good bunch of guys who took pride in their work.

On the Santanoni Citizen’s Advisory Committee I saw how my preservationist friends want to remove any trace of man’s presence in the Adirondacks. I can see their point, and I may be wrong, but I don’t see it that way.

I know that these concerned people see others coming to the mountains to recreate, litter, pollute and tear up the thin soils and fragile habitats. That’s the reason I call them all friends (besides the ones I know personally), I appreciate their efforts in these matters.

I was born in Chestertown on a “tree farm” and raised on venison, rabbit and trout. I have a different perspective on wilderness. To me wilderness is synonymous with home. I don’t separate myself from nature. I feel a part of it.

The buildings and facilities at Santanoni were also scheduled for demolition. The discussion was long, some of the buildings were lost, but now some of the buildings are being saved. So, it’s not impossible that this lodge on over 20,000 acres could be repurposed. Not that it will, but it’s possible.

Kent Gregson is a stonemason from Indian Lake, NY who built the massive stone fireplace in the main lodge at Boreas Ponds.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SunÊ needsÊ toÊ getÊ aÊ life To the Editor: The Sun Editorial Board has exposed itself again with the language it chose regarding Donald Trump (ie: “by way of insults.”)

Get a life!

Trump did not send the 16 candidates packing due to insults, but by exposing their positions on the issues effecting the lives of hardworking Americans, immigration ridiculous and possibly criminal application of the federal government’s obligation on this issue and the 16 positions the various Republicans had taken: Sanctuary cities and the use of working Americans tax dollars to support them!

Right to bear and own arms within the USA; Trade, America First, yes, Trump is right on target again! Work, not welfare, for ablebodied men and women.

Need I review every one of his policies?

I don’t think so!

If you like using negative terms in your political editorials, try discussing the realization that Hillary should go to jail, not the White House.

Try looking into possible acts of treason by the sitting president against the USA and how and when he should be investigated, tried and sentenced, and is the country strong enough to apply proper justice for treason?

Vote Trump.

BoardÊ needsÊ toÊ beÊ heldÊ accountable To the Editor: Thank you for this opportunity to notify the residents of Athol and Thurman.

Some improprieties that our town board is currently passing under our noses, and I will bet they are hoping no one questions them.

1.) Denying residents the right to speak; 2.) Refusing to inform our residents about important issues (we all have a right to know); 3.) Conducting private meetings and or “executive sessions” without notifying the public; 4.) Some “executive sessions” are illegal and should be during open meetings; 5.) Some board members are not included and even having information kept from them; 6.) I have had people tell me they were afraid to come to board meetings because they fear repercussions; 7.) I have also heard that the video recordings of the board meetings posted online, are doctored and some things taken out so the public will not see them.

8.) During public meetings, the public is not able to participate. I have seen where if the public could assist and give some input, the town might benefit from a better outcome. (I am not trying to criticize the board on this one; I am just saying if we were able to work together, things could be better.)

I keep going to board meetings: I watch, I listen, I keep shaking my head in disbelief. All I can say is amazing simply amazing.

The town supervisor and town board members are answerable to all of the residents of Athol and Thurman. Let’s make them accountable.

Please do not take my word for it: Get involved and come to the board meetings see for yourself!

OregonÊ trainÊ derailmentÊ aÊ reminderÊ of Ê oilÊ tankerÊ risks To the Editor: The recent oil train derailment in Mosier, OR, should be an additional wake-up call for folks in the Champlain Valley who also host the movement of crude by rail through their communities.

Some of the parallels with our area are especially striking - passage through small towns, the likelihood that an accident would overwhelm the capabilities of local emergency personnel and, of course, the proximity to a scenic wonder (our Lake Champlain, the Columbia River Gorge in the Oregon case).

Mosier “dodged the bullet,” and was not obliterated by a fire storm like Lac-Mégantic, but this was a matter of sheer luck. If one thinks that such accidents can be prevented through improved preparedness, see the remarks from the Union Pacific spokesperson at youtube.com/ watch?v=DwreSO4UHIU#incart_maj-story-1. She calls attention to recent track inspections using the latest technologies, and to the fact that the tank cars were upgraded models meeting a higher “1232” safety standard.

Still, the untoward occurred. The risks associated with the movement of crude by rail clearly warrant much higher priority from federal, state, and local authorities, all of whom have responsibilities in this matter.

Richard P. Suttmeier Keene Valley

WhoÊ areÊ youÊ supposedÊ toÊ represent,Ê SenatorÊ Gillibrand?

To the Editor: Oil trains have been a hot topic now for several years. I live on Willsboro Bay and hear and see them go by all the time. Why is this oil going by rail?

Because there are not enough pipe lines to transport it, pretty simple, every gallon going through a pipe line is a gallon not going by rail.

Now I can understand a senator from a state where the pipe line runs through voting against it, but my senator who should know the hazards that the trains pose to Lake Champlain and the Hudson River voted against it! Senator Gillibrand, I thought you represented us, not President Obama!

WildernessÊ preservationÊ needÊ notÊ equateÊ toÊ populationÊ extinction To the Editor: The article in your June 11 issue, “Review board skeptical over study,” once again highlights a fundamental cleavage in the North County between the environment and the economy.

Enormous amounts of money have been raised from wealthy donors to protect the wilderness, while, to the best of my knowledge, much, much less has been raised, let alone spent, to create economic opportunity for area residents.

I am not a tree hugger, nor a tree mugger, but having been a summer resident here for over 35 years, I have watched the slow decline of opportunity and the aging of a year-round population.

For the author of the study to suggest that rising property values are synonymous with economic advancement is simply untrue, and perhaps cruel for long-time residents who can no longer afford to live here.

Wilderness preservation need not take place at the expense of population extinction.

Little Bits Fried bread dough Gordie Little

Columnist

F

ried bread dough. Does the mere thought titillate your taste buds? Mine are bouncing like an NBA dribble. I haven’t had any lately, so I’m long overdue. I wrote this last Sunday as the 50th Cadyville Firemen’s Parade and Field Day was getting underway. It was cool and windy, but warm hearts and enthusiasm prevailed and a great time was had by all.

I have no clue if they served fried bread dough, but I’ll wager there was clam chowder. I recall in the olden days it was magically prepared by the late “Jug Head” Devan and by my friend “Goose” Sorrel. Only a few can make it that delicious.

On the other hand, fried bread dough is simple to make. However, it always tastes better a firemen’s field day, church bazaar, county fair or carnival. And it has never tasted better than when it is dripping with real North Country maple syrup.

Like others of you (some will actually admit it), I spend too much time on my favorite social medium, usually before sunrise every day. It begins with my posting of the temperature and sky conditions outside our Morrisonville house on the Saranac River.

Like reading this fine newspaper from cover to cover each week, it puts me in touch with the pulse of the community. It also gives me lots of ideas for this column. Case in point was a recent discussion of fried bread dough. The writer is obviously a person of good taste. They prefer their fried bread dough with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar. My mouth is watering.

Question of the day was, “What did you call it growing up.” Some listed “dough gods or gobs;” Others remembered “fee fees;” others called them “knots or knoots.”

Those of French Canadian extraction remembered variations on the theme. One that also sticks in my mind from north of the border is “beaver tails.” I have seen them referred to as “Johnny Joes” as well.

I wish my childhood recollections could add to that list, but, in my house, it was simply “fried bread dough.” Kaye doesn’t remember her mother ever serving it back in the day, but she herself made lots of it for our family.

Mostly, it started life as the prepared bread or pizza dough you can buy in almost any grocery store.

I scoured the Internet and saw such localized names as “doughboys,” “fry bread,” “flying saucers,” “scones,” ‘elephant ears” and many others. I have eaten something different but similar called “beignets” in New Orleans.

Other regions of this country and many other places have their own variations. Besides deepfrying the dough, many kinds of toppings are favored. I’ll stick with real maple syrup or powdered sugar. I have spoken with friends who will top their fried bread dough with nothing but honey. Whatever floats your boat. Pass the syrup, please.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TaxÊ increase,Ê ailingÊ economyÊ createÊ conditionsÊ ripeÊ forÊ PortÊ HenryÊ dissolution To the Editor: I’m writing in support of the dissolution plan that was presented to the villagers of Port Henry.

Having grown up in Port Henry in the 50s and 60s, I know what the village was like then, with thriving businesses filling all of the downtown storefronts and viable employment driven by good jobs in the mill and mines.

Since those days, employment here has been difficult. Each year has brought more decline to the village and area. I and several others have worked to open new small businesses to help reverse some of this decline, but it is clear to me that it will take more than these efforts to bring significant change to our area.

We now have an opportunity to join forces with the town of Moriah, which will provide tax relief for village taxpayers, and join the services now provided by both the town and village.

More importantly, joining forces now will mean the village will realize the benefits that will come with the soon-to-come hydro plant as it is being built and operated in Mineville.

The village can not continue to sustain a separate government for what are about 1,200 citizens, as evidenced by the 10 percent tax increase this year for services provided. Joining with the town will result in a still small entity of about 5,000 citizens, which is still a comfortable number for giving everyone access to elected officials. Let’s do this now instead of waiting for an alternative plan to be developed. We need positive change now!

WillsboroÊ MemorialÊ DayÊ aÊ success To the Editor: American Legion WM Nolan Post 405 wishes to thank all the participants in this year’s Memorial Day remembrance of those who have gone before us in defense of our nation.

Missing from our procession was 60-year-plus Legion Member Kenneth Coonrod, who passed on this April. This year, we were honored by the presence of World War II veterans Bill Thompson and John Carver and Korean warfighter Milton Baker.

Our honored vets were driven on parade route to the monuments by Essex County Sheriff ’s Department Humvee.

Also in the line to march were Willsboro Girl Scouts and the Plattsburgh Police Pipe and Drums and Scottish flag marchers. These units were led by American Legion Post 405 Honor Guard and Firing Squad, followed by bugler Levi Sayward.

Waiting at the monument were many veterans as well as active personnel, many in full dress uniforms, including former resident and Navy veteran Fred Morgan and his family, who were visiting from American Samoa.

The emcee for this event was Charles Lustig, Post 405 Chaplain. The Invocation and Benediction was given by Father Francis Flynn.

Our guest speakers were retired Navy Captain Robert Mason and Rep. Elise Stefanik.

A flyover was provided by two F-16 Fighting Falcons from the Vermont Air National Guard 158th Fighter Wing, Burlington, VT, flown by Major Robert Peel and Captain Dan Wabinga, who brought the sound of freedom into full focus for us all.

Pipe and drum numbers, speeches and the raising of the Stars and Stripes were followed by the solemn realization that we, as a nation, will come together in future years to mourn the loss of additional souls and struggle to maintain the freedom and existence of the United States of America — even as we remember those in the long military ranks who came before us.

Final words to our fallen were followed by firing squad and the playing of TAPS. Recognition must be given to those whose planning, contacts and perseverance make this yearly event possible: Town Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, Highway Department Supervisor Travis Crowningshield and crew to make the town presentable; Willsboro Fire Police road guards, Willsboro Ambulance Service, Willsboro Beautification Committee, Robin Belzile and Hometown Hero Banners, members of Legion Post 405 and military volunteers who give up a holiday to provide full remembrance services at local cemeteries.

Last, but assuredly not least, thank you to those Americans who come from near and far to stand in tribute to those who have passed, honoring friends, comrades, family and complete strangers who have given the “last full measure of devotion” for their nation and it’s people.

We hope to see you all next year.

Thank you for your attendance.

Lloyd Brockney, Commander American Legion Post 405 Willsboro

CanÊ weÊ learnÊ fromÊ theÊ past?

To the Editor: Thanks to the educational Voice of America and the BBC we had in Europe during WWII. We learned from them to fight the Nazis without arms, but mainly body language.

Just for fun, take the present winner of the presidential debates. His face tells me he’s like Hitler, his hands and body movements are like Mussolini. Both were dictators and suffered a great measure of devoid of moral compassion, a huge amount of narcissism and hate.

So may I remind our kind readers, who lost the war and who won?

God bless our country and our allies.

ECHÊ staff Ê amazingÊ duringÊ recovery To the Editor: As I continue my recovery from joint replacement surgery and return to work, I would like to comment on my experiences during inpatient rehabilitation at the UVM Health Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

I did not choose ECH because I am a member of the allied medical staff (I suspect that made me more of a challenge), but on the recommendation of others, including my spouse.

From the moment I arrived at the door, after an ill-advised front seat car-ride, I was cared for proactively for dietary items in keeping with my special needs. My medical care was ably coordinated by Mary Halloran, M.D. The hospital pharmacy was available for consultation. The nursing staff - RNs, LPNs and aides

alike - conducted themselves with skill and empathy.

My physical therapist, Mark Hummel, saw me seven days weekly and continue to provide outpatient care, ably assisted by Sara Irving, PTA on occasion.

Extensive reconstruction of the unit is now complete which should make rehabilitation impatient stays an even more positive experience, although I have no intention of checking that out for myself!

I would be remiss if I did not mention my fine primary surgeon, Eugene Byrne, M.D., his colleagues William Smith, M.D. and Andrew Friebel, PA-C, along with the fine staff at Lake Placid Sports Medicine. Thanks to one and all.

SupportÊ theÊ sixthÊ gradeÊ exhibit To the Editor: Did you experience the art show at Westport Central School last month?

The exhibits were all special but what awed me the most was the work of Zoe Brugger’s sixth grade. Elizabeth Lee, an Adirondack guide, Paul Mudie, retired industrial arts teacher, and art teacher Kim Matthews along with the 6th grade captured the beauty of the Adirondacks. The show was spectacular.

I understand much of the work will be on display at the Dogwood Bakery, Wadhams this summer. Give yourself a special treat — view the display.

WhereÊ doÊ ourÊ taxÊ dollarsÊ go?

To the Editor: So, are your tax dollars spent on matters important to you? Do we actually know where the money goes and why? Jean-Baptiste Colbert, finance minister for Louis XIV of France, said, “the art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing.”

Perhaps it’s time to start hissing and Tax Cap the Cuomo.

An official from Albany recently addressed the Essex County Board of Supervisors to explain the 2016 NYS budget.

One budgeted item is a $100 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative, or DRI. It’s one of Gov. Cuomo’s social engineering gambits toward the re-urbanization of America, otherwise known as smart growth, or sustainability, or complete streets, or active living, or Hamlets 3, or Agenda 21, or the Capital Region Sustainability Plan, or Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (HUD.) I’m not making this up, Google it and connect the dots, especially the HUD thing.

The activist planners keep mixing the names, but the objectives are to create social, economic, and environmental change by regulating your property and your lives. They wish to create community centers in which the majority will eventually live and work, be it hamlet or city. Walking and bicycling will be a primary mode of transportation. The new compact and well defined downtown’s will include housing at different levels of affordability and type, rich and poor happy together. They accomplish this thru Comprehensive Planning, plus establishing regional economic development and planning councils who know what’s best for us. The regional councils eliminate your local Home Rule Authority.

Andy Cuomo is taking 100 million of your tax dollars to create ten of these utopias where all can live together in a compact diverse community, in compact apartments, near transportation hubs so you won’t be needing cars anymore and the evil rural/suburban housing sprawl will cease. It all just makes me want to go to a hilltop and drink a coke and sing for world peace.

Re-urbanization has started in NYC, compliments of mayor Bill DeBlasio. I doubt if Andy and Bill will set the example for us by buying bicycles and moving to the utopian transportation hub.

Utopia is intended for the cattle, not the intellectual trail bosses.

Interestingly, the unintended consequence of the DRI style experiments in Portland, OR., and Seattle resulted in poor inner-city cattle having to leave because they couldn’t afford utopia. The liberal trail bosses feel bad about it, but the re-urbanization cattle drive continues. Round-em-up, move-em-out.

SpecialÊ OlympicÊ TorchÊ RunÊ successful To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to everyone who made the NYS Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics NY such a success this year.

Last year, we suggested running through our town instead of traveling to another town in Essex County to show our support.

This turned out to be successful, so we decided to make this our tradition. Nothing gives me more pleasure then to see smiles on beautiful faces.

With that being said, there is no job too big or tasking for that result. The honor running next to two local athletes, Dakotah and Todd, not only brings this smile to my face but also my heart.

You will never be able to buy the happiness that I saw on Wednesday, May 25, in the Town of Moriah and I am proud to be a part of this. Moriah Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility staff and Moriah Central School faculty raised over $1,200 to benefit Special Olympics NY. Thank you Superintendent Tynon and Captain Rawson for allowing Moriah Shock staff to participate, for supporting me in my decisions and contributing to the success of this event; Erin McCartan, Associate Director of Development, for including us once again; Superintendent B. Larrow from Moriah Central School for allowing your staff and more importantly your students to participate; Elizabeth Rutkowski from Mountain Lake Services, who welcomes us at the Helen F. McDonald center; Fleury’s Grocery and Deli for refreshments and Deputy Rice from the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department for keeping us safe while we were running.

To all the staff at Moriah Shock, civilians and security, who made this year’s run a success.

Not everyone who contributed was a runner and this does not go unnoticed. For those of you who came in on your day off, our mess hall staff who provided refreshments and snacks, our one woman camera crew, our drivers, I thank you with my entire heart!

Saving the best for last, a BIG thank you to Becky Cutting for allowing your two young men to join us in a portion of our run. Every time we spoke, the anticipation for this day became more exciting. When it finally arrived I was more emotional than my face could show.

It gives me great pleasure to represent Moriah Shock ICF in this capacity and to recognize two local athletes. I can’t express how grateful that I am for all the support that we received, smiles that were seen, cheers we heard and tears that were shed.

WEDDINGS

Heritage Museum opening ‘Once Upon the River’ TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Heritage Museum announces the opening of their new exhibit, “Once Upon the River,” with a reception Sunday, June 26, at the museum, at 2 p.m.

The exhibit celebrates the legacy of the La Chute River in the 1800s, when every business depended upon the water that cascaded down a series of waterfalls, exceeding in total the drop of Niagara Falls.

Developed under the direction of Denise A. Huestis, a trustee of the Heritage Museum, the exhibit is based on information in her book entitled “Once Upon the River: The Story

of 19th Century Industry on the La Chute River.”

It showcases her hand-crafted professionally-mastered scale models of the mills, forges and factories that once flourished on the river.

“As museums adapt to become more relevant in the 21st century, they often struggle with whose stories to tell,” said June Curtis, a museum trustee. “For us at the Heritage Museum, it is no struggle — our mission is specific and clearly defined to celebrate the industrial history of our town.”

“Although this exhibit has been three years in the making,

there was much to be accomplished”, said Museum Vice-President Terry Smith.

Critical renovations, including ceiling retiling, updated lighting, new carpeting and freshly painted walls, were undertaken to provide the backdrop for the exquisite models, interesting artifacts and smart signage.

“These building enhancements together with the new exhibit, have created a bright and welcoming environment. We are proud of Once Upon the River and are eager to share it with the public.”

Pallets of art

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership (TMSP) and the TMSP Promotions Committee are announce this year’s 2016 Street Art Project is “Adirondack Pallets.”

A limited quantity of pallets will be available and they are on a first come first serve basis. The cost of sponsorship is $30. People can sign up by contacting the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce at 585-6619.

Community members and visitors are invited to check out the uniquely designed pallets as well as stop by the dedicated businesses and organizations in Ticonderoga sponsoring this project.

The initial street art project was wooden soldiers “Soldiers on Parade”, followed by Adirondack chairs “Relax in the Adirondacks”, bird houses “For the Birds”, “Adirondack Benches”, and last year was “Adirondack Rain Barrels.”

The goal of the street art project is to decorate sidewalks, businesses, and organizations with hand-crafted, hand-painted art work done by local artists as well as raised funds for a Montcalm Street project. Anyone can participate by sponsoring a pallet, being an artist and being creative with your favorite theme, or attending the auction which will be held in October.

The pallet creations will be auctioned off Thursday, Oct. 20, at the Street Art Auction at Eddie’s Restaurant. The auction will follow the Chamber After Business Mixer which will also be held at Eddie’s. Preview of the pallets will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m., during the mixer with the auction to start at 7 p.m. There will be complimentary appetizers and a cash bar for all attendees of the auction. The proceeds of the auction will benefit TMSP and will be used for improvements in the downtown/Montcalm street business area. Additional details to be announced.

“We hope to see you there on Oct. 20 for the auction of these unique pallets and what promises to be a fun-filled evening. Join with your friends, family, and neighbors by embracing this opportunity to attend an exciting event and support improvements in Downtown Ticonderoga, the TMSP and the TACC,” saidd Katy Rasmus, Street Art Project and Auction Cochair.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Happiness-boosters The Dalai Lama, who was born this month in 1935, once said that “happiness is not something readymade.” More than there being some far off happily-ever-after, I have always believed that happiness is a daily journey. It is not something you eventually achieve, but a feeling you aim for every day.

Let’s be honest: despite our blessings, it is sometimes difficult to be happy. As one of my old friends used to say, “there is nothing we underrate so much as the duty of happiness.” I think we could all agree that it’s worthwhile.

One of the things that helps me on this daily journey is forward motion. Instead of just saying that I will go out and do something, I actually do it. And the days that I do attend that exhibit opening, or that film screening, or that concert – are usually the best ones. As always, there are quite a few happiness-boosters around the region to brighten up your week.

Here are a few: On June 19, the 4th annual Glens Falls Pride Festival will return to Crandall Park. Glens Falls Pride is a celebration of diversity and equality, both locally and worldwide.

Local musician Ryan Clark will play at 2:15 p.m. Assemblywoman Carrie Woener will speak at 3 p.m. A drag show, featuring performers Sabastian, Bee’Uh Bombchelle, Ms. Kitten Kaboodle, Anya Knees, Mallissa Capri, James Bondage and Jaqueline Frost, will take place at 4 p.m. For more information, visit glensfallspride.org.

The Clinton Community College Drama Club will present “Phenomenal Woman Phenomenally: A Celebratory Revue” on June 17-18.

SCHROON

Schroon Lake to host first Hobie Cat Regatta SCHROON — The Hobie Cat Fleet 204 from Oneida Lake in Cicero comes to the shores of Schroon Lake for the first Hobie Cat Sailing Regatta Friday, June 17 through June 19.

The event will take place at the town boathouse and the sailors will take off from the adjacent beach.

Registration will begin at the boathouse Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. and Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Racing will begin at 10:30 a.m.

All who wish to sail must be members of the Hobie Racing Association and carry liability insurance in the amount of $100,000. Sailors will be able to join the racing association when registering and a “newbie racer” class will be given at 9:30 a.m. Boats will stay on the lake for as many races as can be completed.

The course will run between the Boathouse beach and Word of Life Island. People can meet the skippers at Sticks and Stones Wood Fired Bistro and enjoy some food and beverage and listen to the sailors swap a whale of a racing tale at 6 p.m.

A modified schedule will be run on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The boats will return to shore, scores tallied, and trophies awarded.

For those who are unfamiliar with a Hobie Cat sailboat, it is a lightweight, multi hull boat with brilliantly-colored sails screaming across the waves of the lake. If someone has ever seen a sailboat out in the water with bright, multicolored sails, then chances are it is a Hobie Cat.

The Schroon Lake Senior Citizens Club honors the eldest resident in town by presenting them with a certificate representing a cane, which is kept on display at the town hall. The award was presented by Supervisor Mike Marnell and given posthumously to Betsy Ross at the memorial service for her mother, Lucy Ross, who passed away before receiving this award. Pictured from L-R are Linda Milsom, Betsy Ross, Mike Marnell and Nancy Belluscio.

SCHROON

Lawmakers OK inspections of Frontier Town buildings Asbestos survey of former motel to cost at least $14,000

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is moving closer to demolishing the decaying Frontier Town structures that they say present a threat to public safety.

On Monday, the Essex County Board of Supervisors’ Public Safety Committee resolved to have a structural engineer inspect the roof of the former motel to determine if the building is salvageable.

If so, said Ron Moore (R-North Hudson), the county might be able to unload it at a future tax auction.

Lawmakers also discussed possible asbestos removal at the cluster of decaying buildings dotted throughout the 89-acre parcel.

Deputy Highway Superintendent Jim Dougan said an initial quote for an asbestos survey of the property’s larger structures will cost at least $14,000.

Upon lawmaker urging, signs and caution tape have been placed around select buildings.

Some structures have already been deemed a total loss, including the former restaurant off Route 9, which Dougan said was unsalvageable.

“That one is condemnable, and I think most people would know that if they drove by,” Dougan said.

Parts of the motel may be salvageable, Dougan said, including the one-story wings extending from each side.

But the structures may contain asbestos, which would be costly to remediate.

Removal, particularly if the toxic material is widespread and cannot be easily extracted by piecemeal, would see costs further escalate due to the stringent state department of labor requirements.

“It’s quite a process,” Dougan said. “It gets expensive quick.”

Dougan said the board isn’t looking to do a structural review on all buildings.

Funds for any work will have to come out of contingency, said Dan Palmer, the county manager.

At least one lawmaker floated the idea of earmarking funds from future tax sales to pay for the rising survey and removal costs.

It’s not that simple, said Palmer. Once properties are sold, the county does not see revenues until the tax liens on those properties have been recovered.

The resolution, which passed the Public Safety Committee unanimously, marks the latest in a long saga as to what to do with the former wild west theme park, which closed in 1998.

Following years of neglect, the board put the parcels in a tax auction in April 2014.

A local businessman, the late George Moore, offered a bid of $49,500, which was later denied by county lawmakers on the grounds that it did not meet the $145,000 in back taxes owed on the parcel.

Lengthy litigation followed. North Hudson voters, through permissive referendum, shot down plans by the town to purchase the property, which officials have long-eyed as a venue for economic development.

While the county won the lawsuit last August, the property remains in limbo.

That same month, the state Department of Conservation approved plans to build a 40-mile multi-use trail between Minerva, Newcomb and North Hudson, a network that would

later link Long Lake and Indian Lake.

Moore, the North Hudson supervisor, has called for the land to play a role in the emerging network, including linking the town’s trail system to the proposed network through an access point on Blue Ridge Road.

The trail, which is expected to be completed by 2022, will see portions open to the public as early as this year, with new segments becoming available for public recreation every year until the completion date, said the DEC. Earlier this month, county lawmakers went into a lengthy executive session with DEC officials and members of the Open Space Institute to discuss the future of the parcel.

The reason, said the county attorney, was for “legal advice.”

No decisions were made.

Discussion continues on the fate of numerous buildings on the former Frontier Town property in North Hudson. The Essex County Board of Supervisors’ Public Safety Committee resolved on Monday to have a structural engineer inspect the roof of former motel to determine if the building is salvageable.

MORIAH

Moriah churches celebrate Parker’s 50 years of ministry

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — A pair of local churches came together June 12 to celebrate 50 years of service by Rev. Dr. Kenneth N. Parker, who has served the Moriah community for the last three of those.

“If I had my life to live over again from day one, I would not change a thing,” Parker said to members of the Mount Moriah Presbyterian Church and Moriah United Methodist Church.

“You have all affected my life greatly and have been a big part in the healing I have been through.”

Parker, a Peru resident who was ordained as a minister in 1965, retired from service at the Peru Community Church do to chronic pain from arthritis. However, he was asked to be the part-time pastor for the two Moriah churches in 2013 and

has been there since, also running Thera-Pets, Inc., the company he founded which is dedicated to improving the health of children and the elderly through activities with farm animals like donkeys and alpacas.

Parker said being a pastor is rewarding and people are always happy to see you.

“If your lawyer shows up at your door, you might think, okay,” Parker said. “If your doctor shows up your door, you’d probably pass out. When your pastor shows up, it is always a come on in. We are welcomed into your home at any time and we are always there to help. I enjoy the pastoral side and I enjoy getting to know people better. It’s probably the most amazing, astonishing kind of thing that anyone could pick or choose to do.”

Parker said another thing that has excited him has been the growth in the churches he serves.

“I really afford that to the relationship these churches have had and everyone working together,” he said. “With the people in these two Christian churches, I love being where I am.

We’ve had slow but steady growth in both. People are coming back and there seems to be a true enthusiasm. People are saying they look forward to church and that is not me, that is the whole experience.”

Stamina key to traversing huge district, says Stefanik

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — It’s tough being a politician. But navigating the North Country’s lone congressional district can present its own set of severe challenges.

The 21st Congressional District, which constitutes about 30 percent of the state’s land mass, sprawls 12 counties over 16,000 square miles, from the agricultural flatlands that hug the Canadian border in Clinton County to the rolling farmlands of northern Herkimer County, just a short drive from Utica.

In fact, at a size largest than most northeastern states — the district is three times the size of Connecticut — touching down for a campaign stump is more like a full-fledged road trip than a quick meeting with constituents.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has been hitting the pavement in earnest this spring, returning to the district nearly every weekend from Washington, D.C. to squeeze in spate of events, from factory tours, public forums to rubber-chicken dinners on the awards circuit.

And then it’s back to D.C., where she’s been the co-sponsor of a flood of legislative bills.

How does she keep up her energy levels?

“I think it’s stamina at this point,” said Stefanik.

The freshman lawmaker, who once referred to herself as the Energizer Bunny, said she tries to start each morning with a cup of coffee, which is supplemented with lots of water throughout the day.

Stefanik said she’s also trying to find more time to exercise.

“At night, I calm myself down by reading,” Stefanik said.

The lawmaker, deft with social media, said an Instagram book club provides a steady list of reading recommendations.

Stefanik just wrapped up “American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers,” the new book by the journalist Nancy Jo Sales that examines the effects that social media is having on American girls.

“I like history, I like non-fiction, I like biographies — I have an eclectic reading list,” Stefanik said.

Democratic candidate Mike Derrick is challenging Stefanik for the seat.

Derrick, of Peru, said he drives an average of 90 miles each day. Most nights are spent away from home.

“This is life on fast-forward,” Derrick said.

“What keeps my body going is maintained discipline of my diet and rest,” said Derrick, a retired army colonel.

While he starts the day with exercise, what really keeps his spirits going, the candidate said, is “meeting thousands of people around the district who share their hopes and fears.”

“I’ve been traveling everywhere, listening to voters in their living rooms and learning what issues are most important to them,” Derrick wrote in an email. “Gaining their confidence is a privilege and makes all of this worthwhile. Nothing beats the feeling of having someone I just met thank me for running and then saying that I have earned their vote.”

Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello owns Rock Hill Bakehouse, a bakery and cafe in downtown Glens Falls.

To prepare for the campaign, Funiciello has pivoted from a production to a management role, putting in between 40 and 50 hours per week.

As such, he’s not on the road as much as Stefanik and Derrick.

Since declaring his candidacy in March, his second attempt at winning the seat, the candidate has conducted just 12 official campaign events. Nearly 20 more are planned for the next 30 days.

But what Funiciello lacks in road miles he makes up for in a prolific social media presence, including daily direct engagement with voters on Facebook and a series of campaign videos.

Funiciello noted he’s beating Derrick 2-to1 on Facebook likes.

“We’re not paying for that, and that feels really good,” Funiciello said. “I’m being honest and principled for what I think and I believe, and discussing the agenda my party has been working for three decades to articulate.”

Like his opponents, Funiciello said he draws upon both the spiritual and physical realms for stamina.

“I have an unnatural, or exceptional desire, to see my social class represented in Washington, D.C..” the candidate said.

Funiciello became a vegan last August.

Doing so has increased his energy levels, he said. Among his inspiration was “Forks Over Knives,” the book (and later documentary) that argues a plant-based diet can reverse chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity and cancer.

Exercise also helps to alleviate a pinched nerve the candidate recently suffered.

“I try to take a bike ride when I have time,” he added.

Funiciello hailed presumptive Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and Howie

Hawkins, a former gubernatorial candidate, for their energy — “They are me on steroids” — and also praised Stefanik: “Her work ethic is excellent,” Funiciello said. “She does work hard as a person.”

84914

Lawmaker, opponents discuss strategies for navigating district

But he couldn’t resist taking a shot at both: “The corporate party campaigns are pretty much going along collecting money,” he said, referring to fundraising efforts. “I don’t really feel like they’re doing much beyond that.”

Vote

should not come down to money, in her opinion.

“Quality of life is much more important then what is going to happen to taxes because, believe me, it’s not going to be what you think it is,” she said.

“You’re right,” Guerin said. “It’s not about money. It’s about what you gain and what you lose.”

The referendum for Aug. 16 will read as follows: “The voters of the Village of Port Henry having previously

voted to dissolve, shall the elector-initiated dissolution plan take effect.”

The vote will be a straight yes (for the approval of the plan) or no (get rid of the plan) vote. Guerin said the wording of the question falls in line with what other villages have used after consulting with the state.

“We want to make sure we do it the way the state wants so we do not have any legal loopholes after,” he said.

State task force reveals recommendations to curb opiate abuse

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo revealed the final report and recommendations from an executive heroin task force on Friday.

The report comes after the group, co-chaired by Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul, convened eight panel discussions across the state, including a session in Lake Placid last month.

Those sessions saw law enforcement officials, health care providers, educators and former addicts present their ideal solutions for addressing the state’s ongoing opiate crisis.

The 25 recommendations cover a wide swath of the epidemic and echo the refrain that curbing abuse requires more than a law enforcement crackdown, but rather a four-pronged approach that also addresses prevention, treatment and recovery.

Experts have testified that barriers to treatment remain a chief roadblock in combatting the problem, particularly in rural areas.

In the past decade, Upstate New York has seen an 222 percent increase in admissions to state-certified treatment programs among those 18 to 24 years of age.

To alleviate pinch points, the report calls for increasing the number of treatment beds and program slots.

While the exact mechanism for increasing beds remains unclear, the report said the state should explore the conversion of existing beds at New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse-approved treatment centers into a “new flexible model” that allows for both short- and long-term stays and treatment.

The task force also recommended boosting access to medication-assisted treatment in underserved areas by lifting a

OASAS-set cap that governs intake capacity at residential and inpatient programs.

And to reduce the risk of injury or death once an addict is discharged from an emergency room following an overdose, the report recommended a smoother transition process into potential treatment programs.

Insurance reforms are also on the table.

In a nod to testimonials that insurance plans often fail to adequately cover the full costs for rehab programs, the report calls for the elimination of prior insurance company authorization for needed inpatient treatments and medications.

Objective, state-approved criteria to determine insurance coverage for necessary inpatient treatment would also be implemented, a first-of-its-kind requirement that would make New York a model for the rest of the nation.

The opiate epidemic, now the leading cause of preventable death in the country, is widely attributed to the widespread availability of prescription painkillers.

Once addicted, patients often turn to heroin as a cheaper alternative.

To put a dent in prescribing practices, the report calls for reducing first-time opioid prescriptions for acute pain from 30 to seven days. Doing so may cull the supply of excess pills, many of which end up circulating on the black market.

Since 2015, the state has curbed “doctor shopping” by 90 percent with legislation that has required pharmacies to report prescriptions in real time, among other safeguards.

The proposals will build on the policy, known as I-STOP, by urging the creation of a national database, as well as mandating at least four hours of ongoing prescriber education on pain management and addiction.

news@suncommunitynews.com

FORT EDWARD — Ticonderoga’s softball program waited decades to play its first state semi final game, but before the first pitch could be thrown in their Class C matchup vs Section IV’s Notre Dame (Elmira, NY) the team would have to wait a little longer. Heavy rain forced a 3½-hour delay that moved the start of the 11:30 a.m. game to 3 p.m.

Falling behind 1-0 after Notre Dame manufactured a run in the top of the first, junior catcher Carly Campney drew a walk to lead off the second inning. Pinch runner Alyssa Tucker then stole second, advanced to third when Kristen Palandrani grounded out, and scored on a passed ball to tie the game 1-1.

But that is as close as Ticonderoga would get to a state final appearance.

Notre Dame responded with five runs in the bottom of the second inning as sloppy defense by the lady Sentinels and timely hitting by Notre Dame allowed them to cruise to a 12-2 victory at Moreau Recreation Park in Fort Edward.

State Championship.

FORT EDWARD — It was a year of firsts for the Ticonderoga varsity softball program, even in defeat.

The loss, 12-2 at the hands of Notre Dame-Elmira, was the first time the Sentinels had played in a state Final Four, a spot the team earned by winning two decisive games in the regional round.

“I wish we could have done better, but we made it here and that is an important step for this program,” senior pitcher Hannah Ross said. “I could not have asked for a better group to play with. We were able to make history, and I hope these girls can build on what we have done this season.”

“It was important for us to come here and play this game today,” said senior Brittany Bruce. “Since seventh grade, me and Hannah have always played together and this group has been a great team from day one. We just made errors that cost us the game.”

Ross and Bruce were joined by second baseman Savannah Bezon to form the triad of senior leadership on the Sentinels this season.

“They are softball girls,” head coach Eric Mullen said. “Softball is their sport — their life. The put in the extra effort and extra work to get to where they are. I was with them when I came in as a JV coach as freshman and the last four years have been amazing.”

Bezon was the only member of the Sentinels to record a hit off Notre Dame pitcher Izzy Milazzo, connecting for a hard single up the middle in the third inning. The only other ball to make its way out of the infield was a Bruce flyout to left field in the sixth.

Kaylee Coon reached twice on a walk in the fifth and error in the seventh as Kristen Palandrani, who reached on an error earlier in the inning, was able to score the second run of the game. Carly Campney reached on a walk in the second, setting up Alyssa Tucker’s score on a passed ball as a courtesy runner, while Emily Hood reached on an error in the fifth.

In all, the Sentinels stranded four runners on base, but only one in scoring position.

Ross finished her career with a six strikeout performance in the circle, while walking three and hitting one.

Mullen said the experience of playing in the final four — despite the three-plus hour weather delay and results — will be good for the seven starters who will return next season in shortstop and MVP contender Haleigh Wright, catcher Campney, center fielder Palandrani, right fielder Hood, third baseman Coon, deisgnated player Avery Alkinburgh and left fielder Grace Montville. The team also returns reserves Tucker, Abigail Young, Emily Pike and Cyley Quigley.

“It will be tremendous for these girls to have had this experience going forward,” Mullen said. “We need to piece in a number one and number three hitter, but the big thing will be the pitcher. We also have girls coming up from the JV program who were here and know what this experience will be like.”

SectionÊ VII:Ê whereÊ theÊ championsÊ playÊ inÊ 2015-16 Ti football, softball part of remarkable ‘15-16

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — This may, indeed, be the greatest school year in the history of Section VII high school athletics.

The teams who represented the section in regional and state playoffs this season didn’t just show up, but knocked the door down, winning four state championships while another three reached their championship game.

In all, 11 teams from Section VII reached at least the final four, including the most recent in the Ticonderoga Sentinel varsity softball squad, who made history as the first girls program in school history to make the state round of play.

“This is the first girls team we have ever had to reach this milestone of play,” Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said.

“We are really proud of them and I know how hard they have worked for this.”

“It’s a good place to be with teams competing late into the season,” Ticonderoga Athletic Director and varsity football assistant coach Robert Sutphen said. “Our kids are getting it done in the classroom and on the athletic field.”

The Sentinels also sent their football team to the Class D championship game, where they lost to Tioga in the closest game a Class D team had ever played in the Carrier Dome.

Sutphen said when your teams compete this far into the season, there is another team behind the scene helping out.

“Mike Vigliotti is our MVP, especially in the spring,” Sutphen said of his transportation manager. “Watching this play out is the fun part, but you have to have those who help with the transportation and the paperwork.”

The situation has been similar in Lake Placid, where the athletic program has brought home a pair of state champion-

Section VII success in 2015-16 The following is a list of teams who made the state level of playoffs in the 2015-16 school year:

State Champions Lake Placid boys cross country — Class D champions Plattsburgh High boys soccer — Class B champions Lake Placid boys nordic skiing — State Champions Beekmantown 4-by-100 boys relay - Division II Champions

Individual Champions Scott Shultz, Lake Placid — Boys Nordic Skiing Champion Jackie Garso, Saranac Lake — Girls Nordic Skiing Champion

Finalists Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport boys soccer — Class D Ticonderoga football — Class D Moriah boys basketball — Class D

Final Four Beekmantown girls hockey — Upstate Hockey League AuSable Valley boys basketball — Class C Northern Adirondack girls basketball — Class C Lake Placid boys hockey — Division II Ticonderoga softball — Class C

The success of Section VII has also been noticed on the state stage according to Willsboro Superintendent Stephen Broadwell, who is currently in his second and final season as the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) president. ““As I conclude the presidency of the NYSPHSAA, it is has been a pleasure watching Division II state champion Beekmantown 4-by-100 relay team.

“The hope is for our younger athletes to see the drive and “Section VII schools have great community support efforts that our upperclassmen have,” said Walentuk. “To as our athletes compete not emulate this will be tough, but with the leadership of some only within the section but of our older student-athletes, they will push the younger athletes to work hard and stay focused.

“This season has been successful due to the drive of the student-athletes and the mentorship of the coaches,” he said.

“Many of our student-athletes compete in three sports a year and never have an off-season. Our coaching staff too is well seasoned and we don’t have much turnover. Our studentathletes are training hard in their sports and also in the classroom. Many of these successful teams are also NYSPHSAA scholar athlete teams. It’s not a coincidence that these two accomplishments go hand in hand.”

McDonald agreed.

“Studies continue to show that kids who are involved in extra-curriculars are more successful in the classroom,” he said.

The state championship run continued into the spring, as the Beekmantown boy’s 4-by-100 track quartet of Nathan Handy, Matt Villa, Loudon Frechette and Daryn Nephew took home the Division II title.

The nice thing is watching our kids compete and excel on the state level,” Beekmantown A.D. Greg Myers said. “The kids have all worked hard and it is nice to see them get the recognition they deserve. Our goal is to always compete at the state level and we are able to hang a lot of banners because of it.

BeekmantownÊ topsÊ podiumÊ inÊ D-IIÊ 4x100 Ti’s Chapman competes in high jump

keith@suncommunitynews.com

SYRACUSE — Nathan Handy had watched since the gun went off to start the NYSPHSAA Division II boys 4-by-100 relay race.

He had seen Loudon Frechette open up a lead in the first leg, passing the baton flawlessly to Matt Villa, who kept the lead with another perfect handoff to Daryn Nephew, holding the lead as he rounded turns three and four, where Handy was waiting.

“I got to see all the handoffs and I knew they had both been unbelievable,” Handy said, who ran the anchor leg for the Beekmantown relay team. “I see Daryn coming around the corner and I am thinking, we have a chance to win it. I took the baton from him and took off — everything was perfect.”

Perfect was exactly what the foursome had been building for all season, as Handy crossed the line in a time of 43.38 seconds, winning the Coaches Gary Phillips and Andy Hastings bookend Division II state champions in the 4-by-100 meter relay, from left, Daryn Nephew, Loudon Frechette, Nathan Handy Division II state championship in the event by and Matt Villa. five one-hundredths of a second over Bennett.
