Progress on Schroon broadband project hinges on competitors, says provider Slic waiting on Verizon, Time Warner and National Grid to make space on their poles for cable installation

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — Work cannot commence on bringing high-speed broadband to Schroon until competing utility companies clear space on their poles for fiber optic cable installation, said the internet service provider responsible for the project.

“That hasn’t happened yet,” said Mark Cornett, a Slic Network Solutions vice president, despite those companies being bound by state Public Service Com-

mission guidelines to move expediently after each project benchmark has been reached.

Cornett admitted Time Warner, Verizon and National Grid have no real incentive to pave the way for this phase of the project, known as make-ready.

But, Cornett said, “in the end, it’s in the prerogative of Verizon, Time Warner and National Grid to get this work done.”

Cornett, addressing the town’s broadband committee on Thursday, declined to offer a timeframe once work is allowed to proceed. Progress depends on a number of factors, he said, including pole density and availability of construction crews.

Following make-ready, fiber will be laid and service will be deployed immediately afterward.

The $2.3 million project stands to benefit some 500 homes currently served by satellite and phone service, about 30 percent of the town’s yearround population.

Slic was awarded state grant funds in December 2012 to bring fiber to seven underserved upstate areas.

The project has been marred by long periods of inactivity, in part, due to a glacial reimbursement grant process from the state to private contractors.

Another is due to the unprecedented scope of the project, which Connett said is the first “significant grant program” administered by the state’s broadband program office.

While the first grant disbursal agreement was signed in September 2014, it took a full year for the Nicholville-based >> See SCHROON | pg. 15

TICONDEROGA — In a place where some of the most decisive battles in three conflicts took place, it’s no wonder the school’s mascot name is the Sentinels and their Independence Day celebration is referred to as “The Best Fourth in the North.”

“The Best 4th In The North is a time-honored tradition that is enjoyed by thousands of community members and visitors alike each and every year,” said Deb Barber, Best 4th In The North chairperson and Ticonderoga/Montcalm Street Partnership board member. “The celebration has a significant impact on the local businesses and the economy attracting many people to the Ticonderoga Area to enjoy the parade, Montcalm Mile, music, vendors, food, and of course the grand fireworks display that the event is known for. The celebration has a long history and was once organized by volunteers from the Ticonderoga Fire Department, then a number of community members/committees via the Town of Ticonderoga, and now as a volunteer committee under the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership. Without the dedication and commitment of these volunteers for so many years this time honored tradition would not be possible. The committee gives so much of their personal time to plan, implement, and fund raise to make all of the events for the four day celebration possible.

The Town of Ticonderoga does support the celebration but the majority of the funds needed are raised by the committee. We hope to see many familiar and new faces at this year’s celebration. Join us has we celebrate Independence Day and >> See FOURTH | pg. 10

“We are planning an evening of wonderful fun,” said Bill Dolback, President of the Historical Society. “It’s a chance to step back in time, enjoy a costume contest with cash prizes, a picnic supper on the lawn and a great new show by Hot Box Honey. We are also planning a few surprises that are sure to delight everyone who attends.”

Burlington-based Hot Box Honey headlined the Hancock House’s 2015 USO Show, and proved to be a great favorite. Led by jazz vocalist Jane Evans and guitarist Gregory Evans, Hot Box Honey is an eight-piece band with horns, multi-vocalists, guitar, double bass, piano and drums. They will showcase an upbeat mix of swing, Latin, and jazz standards from the 1920s era. Also entertaining during the picnic supper portion of the evening will be the Saratoga Springs barbershop quartet The Elderly Brothers.

The costume contest will include cash prizes of $100 each for the best male and female representation of the 1920s, as well as a $150 prize for the best couple and $50 for the best child 16 or under. Judges will be looking for accuracy in fabric choices, accessories and presentation.

Tickets for the gala are priced at $8 each or 2 for $15. The picnic chicken supper, provided by the Hot Biscuit Diner is $12 and pre-orders are required.

Angler survey to fish for tourism stats regionally ROOST: Findings likely to encourage room development

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Tourism officials know visitors like to fish. And they know Lake Champlain is a hotspot. But beyond that, data is vague.

A new survey introduced last week is the first comprehensive study of bass fishing habits on Lake Champlain, tracking tournament participation, lodging habits, spending patterns, visitation rates and other metrics.

“We’re trying to document the volume of bass fishing tournaments in Essex County,” ROOST CEO James McKenna told Essex County lawmakers last week. “Everybody’s been talking about it, but we have no solid information.”

Postcards distributed to anglers by tournament leaders will direct visitors to a website where they can complete the survey.

Results for the joint project between the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce will likely be revealed by late-fall, said McKenna.

“By November, we’ll hopefully have some good data to report,” McKenna said.

McKenna said he hoped the report will give concrete data on lodging information.

Tourism officials and lawmakers have said that the lack of overnight lodging in the Ticonderoga area is problematic and hobbles economic development by forcing guests to spend the night outside of the community, leading to a loss of revenue.

If the survey reveals guests are staying elsewhere, McKenna said, the results will encourage room development.

“We haven’t had good solid information

in the past,” McKenna said.

The southern end of Lake Champlain will host 28 bass fishing tournaments this summer, with about a dozen sponsored by the town of Ticonderoga.

“They have a huge impact on Ticonderoga and the surrounding communities,”

said Matt Courtright, executive director of TACC. The study is confined to the southern end of the lake. But, McKenna said, “I’m sure we’ll see some impacts in Clinton County as well.”

A new survey facilitated by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce this summer aims to collect data on bass fishing tournaments along the southern end of Lake Champlain.

LaChute Shooters bring youth from local schools together on the court

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Youth from our local schools have come together again this summer basketball season to create the LaChute Shooters AAU girls basketball team.

The squad, headed by Jason Hughes, brings local talent together from Ticonderoga, Schroon Lake, Bolton and Johnsburg to form a roster with 12 players who compete in tournaments throughout the region over the summer months.

“They are a very hardworking group,” Hughes said. “It has been great to see them develop their basketball skills as well as develop friendships outside of the gym. It has been awesome to see them each extend their friendship circles outside of their schools.”

Hughes said the team is young, with 10 of the players sophomores or younger, but feels they have the ability to compete against older teams and improve their skills by playing stiffer competition.

“We have had a good season so far,” he said. “There has been some great competition and we have been able to hold our own with a young team.”

The players have been enjoying the experience.

“I was playing in the winter against Minerva/Newcomb and was asked about playing for this team,” Johnsburg freshman Khaleah Cleveland said. “I just love the sport of basketball and I want to keep learning and everything a ball player could learn.”

“Coach Hughes told me he was starting a team a couple years ago and I wanted to improve my skills,” said Schroon

“I started three years ago and Jay has been so supportive during our season and will be at a lot of our games during the school year,” Bolton junior Caitlyn Johnson said. “My goal is to get to college and play the sport, and this really helps me prepare for it. I also want to gain more knowledge of the game and bring it back to my team.”

“My friend (Emily Pike) plays for this team and I wanted to join her,” Ticonderoga freshman Saidi St. Andrews said.

“I want to improve my skills and develop my shooting technique here.”

ouldn’t you assume we send smart people to Washington to solve problems?

Really difficult problems? You know, especially the ones that have us pitted against each other?

Obviously, we have a problem with innocent civilians being killed by unstable and crazy people. Some either don’t know right from wrong, while others have clearly chosen to use whatever weapon is within reach to kill mass quantities of unsuspecting innocents.

Regardless of the reason war, unbalanced people, or whatever their motivation, it’s a big problem in need of a big and difficult solution that will appease both sides.

The problems is in seeking a solution it flies in the face of the second constitutional amendment guaranteeing responsible citizens the right to own a gun.

I know the constitution doesn’t use the word responsible, but that is where the real problem lies.

What the second amendment says is: “”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

For far too many years both sides of this issue have dug in their heels, standing on their primal core values to never give in to the other side. Both sides have plenty of statistics supporting their position.

Consequently as a nation, we are frozen by this stalemate, with both sides standing frustratedly incensed that the other side just doesn’t get it and never will.

Every time one of these radically unstable or self proclaimed jihadist takes a life both sides go into lock down battle station mode.

Both sides have valid concerns but the ranker has reached a point where neither side will listen to anything from the other side, yet we need a reasonable solution to protect the rights of everyone on both sides of the issue.

If Congress is unable to resolve the issue because most have already chosen a side, then it’s time for them to recuse themselves and appoint people of an independent point of view to arrive at a reasonable solution.

Guns are not the problem, but guns, or for that matter any weapon, in the hands of angry, unstable people who want to kill others and die while doing so is the problem and there must be a solution somewhere in this country to resolve the long standing stalemate, without infringing on law abiding citizens.

End of state legislative session agreements bodes (mostly) well for North Country

T

he state legislature wrapped up their session last weekend with a flurry of legislation, capping off what Gov. Andrew Cuomo claimed was the most productive in modern state history.

That may be a stretch considering the legislature has never been known for its expediency or work ethic.

But you can’t deny that the last-minute wrangling, which saw lawmakers burning the midnight oil to reach an agreement, resulted in closure on several of the most important issues left unresolved after lawmakers arrived at a budget in late-March.

What became of some of the proposals discussed by our editorial board this past year?

JCOPE. We slammed the state’s watchdog agency, the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, for their attempt to expand their definition of lobbying to include the meetings public relations firms have with newspaper editorial boards. We called it a “reprehensible and ignorant edict that smacks of Big Brother.” Thankfully, that proposal fizzled. A five-point ethics reform deal contains more useful measures to combat corruption, including reducing the size of financial contributions to political candidates needed to trigger disclosure and adding further restrictions to the political action committees that flourished after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. (A ban on outside income and eliminating the so-called LLC loophole, however, didn’t pass the sniff test.)

Pension forfeiture. The signature issue of state Assemblyman Dan Stec (RQueensbury) finally saw some traction with an agreement that will strip legislators convicted of corruption of their taxpayer-funded pensions earned during public service. The agreement, however, is watered down: the law doesn’t extend to government workers, which means people like prison break pariah Joyce Mitchell will still be eligible to cash out. But despite the union-led opposition that defanged what we feel is a critical element to combatting malfeasance, the legislation is a step in the right direction. The law, which requires a constitutional amendment, isn’t a done deal. Lawmakers must again approve the proposal next year before it is presented to voters on the ballot.

Heroin epidemic. Better late than never. Despite the political grandstanding that delayed action on this issue until the fourth quarter — the Assembly and Senate had compiled a list of proposals long before the governor convened a last-minute executive panel — lawmakers approved a comprehensive series of bills designed to address the state’s insidious opiate crisis. The $189 million spending package includes measures to increase beds in recovery programs, reduce the time-length for opiate prescriptions, expand insurance coverage for detox facilities and require prescribers to enroll in ongoing addiction training programs. All of this marks welcome news for our rural communities struggling to combat addiction without the proper resources.

Combating rural blight. While New York City will see massive renovation projects that will transform critical infrastructure, including the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan and the LaGuardia Airport, the state wisely determined that abandoned buildings act as a serious concern to our remote region, driving down property values and inviting illicit activity. The agreement contains provisions to combat rural blight and “zombie homes” — or abandoned bank-owned properties — by expediting the rehabilitation, repair and improvement of these eyesores. While the devil is in the details, anything that adds clarity to the ridiculous regulations that cripple small towns from addressing these problems will be vital to the resurgence of the region.

Alcohol reforms. Bottom’s up! Seizing on the increased appetite for local food and drink, lawmakers have continued to make it easier for local beer, wine and cider producers to showcase their products by snipping away at the state’s outdated blue laws. The latest in a spate of relaxations also allows venues to serve booze on Sunday mornings beginning at 10 a.m. while reducing fees and paperwork for craft brewers.

Mandate relief. Any local official will tell you state mandates gobble up the vast majority of their budgets, from health insurance to mandatory training requirements. While it doesn’t look like comprehensive mandate relief is in the cards this year, local municipalities notched a big victory with the passage of a bill that will entirely shift payment for indigent legal services from the counties to the state by 2022. The legislation, which stems from a state settlement with five counties that determined existing counsel was inadequate, is great news for North Country governments struggling to address rising crime with limited resources, as is legislation that will reimburse counties for mandated salary increases for district attorneys.

Minimum wage. By far the year’s biggest stinker. We continue to have concerns over the minimum wage, which will raise to $15 over the next five years based on an economic index. Our local businesses have repeatedly argued that they opposed the increase not out of greed, but simply because they are not positioned to absorb high increases in labor costs. This is in stark contrast to Gov. Cuomo’s repeated misrepresentation of the issue as a battle between corporate titans and the little guy. Nonprofits, too, will be disproportionately affected by this game-changing legislation. We see no scenario that doesn’t result in disaster, or at least massive state subsidies, for the North Country business community.

AbolishÊ theÊ DMV? To the Editor: So the other day, while at the Miami airport, I watched a family of five check in for a fight to South America using a cell phone with just one screen.

They got ticketed, bags checked, cleared customs and immigration and left for a long flight across the Equator.

Yesterday, I went to the Essex County Clerk’s

DMV office to title a 14-year-old car and got quite the run around and ended up getting pretty angry and told off some of the clerk’s six pages singlespaced of mumbo jumbo.

When will people realize that the DMV is front running for the insurance industry, gophers for the state police, etc.?

And just what good does having a New York title do anyway? When my old Volvo wagon that went missing at the Essex County tax sale years ago got a collective yawn when I complained. Even after

insisting the state police investigate, the district attorney did nothing.

I am out maybe $1,200.

Now it seems to me that New York could adopt what California does already and issue a tag for a car which stays with the car. Carfax and Ebay could keep track of the cars, thus cutting a big chunk of needless fat out of the state budget.

very year during the election cycle, towns come alive in the month of June with political parties sending their masses door to door to seek YOUR SIGNATURE. This is the way each political party gains a foothold on the upcoming ballots for their respective candidates. If more than one person in the party wants the same job, then there will be a primary on September 13 before the winners move onto the general election on November 8. So you want to be involved? Perhaps not as a candidate, but as a party member trying to ensure a person who has similar views to you, not 100 percent but as close as possible becomes “your” candidate. Not 100 percent, because that would make you the logical candidate.

Every even year — including 2016 — each party forms their town committees using designating petitions and the September primary to become a committee member. That is correct, your town committees are elected positions that make up the Essex County committee. This is where many of you who may not like the way things may be going in your party have a chance to work for change or improvement. If you wondered how “so and so” got to be on that committee or thought many party members seemed old, you all can

step up, run for the committee and BE INVOLVED. New York State election law lays out the process of “designating” petitions. These petitions carried door to door to designate a person of a specific party for a specific elected position within the town, county or state. It is an easy process of simply downloading the proper party petition from the Essex County Board of Elections website and following the directions for proper completion. Individuals must have been a registered voter of their respective party for a certain amount of time prior to becoming a member of the town or county committee. Starting June 7 through July 14, those wanting to become a member of their town committee must circulate a petition within their town election district to be on the September ballot, if opposed, and in turn be a member of their Essex County committee. Those who become elected committee members then appoint a party member of their choice to mentor and be their alternate, to work alongside them to reach their mutual political goals.

Regardless of party affiliation, if you are ready to lend your views, your assistance and your time to your party and ensure your views are acted upon, then reach out to the Essex County Board of Elections and ask for the paperwork and directions. To put it into perspective: The Essex County Republican Committee has 84 town committee positions and 84 alternate positions covering the 18 towns within the county. I would be pleased to assist any person who would like more information on becoming a committee member in your town. Your committee and your party needs your involvement so they represent you correctly.

Willsboro resident Win Belanger is the first vice chairman of the Essex County Republican Committee.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AmericanÊ LegionÊ AuxiliaryÊ toÊ close To the Editor: I would like to sincerely thank the North Creek American Legion Auxiliary Unit 29 for their generous donation to Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The $500 donation is earmarked for veteran’s programs at ATCNRC. I am told that this local group has been in existence since 1928, but unfortunately, due to decline in numbers and participation, this chapter of the American Legion Auxiliary is closing. I can attest to the good works they have provided for this community and specifically for our facility as several times each year they participate in planned activities at our nursing home to honor our veterans.

Again, thank you to the members of the North Creek American Legion home to honor our veterans. Again, thank you to the members of the North Creek American Legion Auxiliary Unit 629 for all that you have contributed to enhanced the lives of our veterans.

Jamie Reynolds, ADC Activity Director Adirondack Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Ô FreeÊ andÊ honestÊ discourseÕ Ê neededÊ onÊ gunÊ control The the Editor: Mateen accomplished what he set out to do: kill lots of gay people. He cited ISIS as a way to increase his fame in his hour of infamy. Way to get attention, Mateen! It worked! The terror here was in the scope of his killing and that it was motivated by hate. It had nothing to do with “radical Islam.”

Watch lists, mental health clinics and “staying vigilant” would not have prevented him from doing this.

This is insanity, and stopping at the barricade of no discussion that has been carefully built by the gun lobby without trying to breach it is not good enough.

Banning firearms will not end mass killings.

Most of us are not interested in banning all guns any more than we are interested in banning cars, which so far, still kill more people than guns, and already require registration and a license to drive.

Many of us feel that hunting for meat is fine. Many of us may not feel comfortable having a handgun in our home but understand that others may feel more secure with one at hand. Many of us may interpret the Second Amendment differently from others, but that’s okay; we’ll let the lawyers and the courts duke it out.

But there are some of us who think that assault weapons are weapons of war, not hunting or protection. I find it hard to believe that any of my neighbors would kill a deer with an assault weapon; apparently it would pretty much destroy the meat. And would someone sleep with an assault weapon under their pillow for fear of an intruder?

Can we talk about this madness?

This country is about free and honest discourse. If we cannot discuss this and listen to each other, how can we ever hear each other? We must try to breach the barricade of No Discussion and get on with finding some compromise.

WhoÊ isÊ winning,Ê terroristsÊ orÊ us?Ê To the Editor: We have had another terrorist attack. He did it by using our rights and freedoms against us.

What was the president’s response and Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders answer?

Not to condemn radical Islam, and their believe that it is okay to kill gays or anyone they deem to be infidels.

No! They just want Americans to give up more of their freedoms and their property. That is the easy way out. The law-abiding fun owners in this coun-

try pose no threat and they know it. But radical Islamic terrorist will kill them if given the chance.

Guess whose butt gets kissed.

When Benghazi was attacked, the answer to that was to blame a YouTube video. They promised to go after the producer of that video. No thought to the First Amendment.

After 9/11, we got the Patriot Act. We all know how this has turned out.

Not really for the good.

I have lost count of how many terrorist attacks in this country have been done with guns. The shooters have all passed background checks. But the answer from the Democrats has always been the same. Those who have done nothing wrong must give up their rights.

At what point do the leaders stand up and say, “No we will not give into you. Our way of life is superior to yours. Freedom is more important than being politically or religiously correct.”

Hillary speaking today said we should not attack Muslims in the country as payback. She is absolutely right: We should never blame all of a group on the evil acts of a few. How about extending that courtesy to the gun owners of America?

Our right to own guns, our right to speak as we please, our right not to be pawed and groped before we get on a plane. Our right to private phone calls and emails. No government spying on us without a warrant.

These things happen. So I ask who is winning this war, the terrorists or us?

ThankÊ youÊ forÊ lettingÊ meÊ beÊ heard To the Editor: I would like to thank you and everyone at your newspaper for printing my recent letters. Having a place to address my concern has brought me some relief.

If I were to say I was disappointed after the last board meeting, it would be an understatement. With my ability to speak taken away, you gratuitously gave me an opportunity to be heard. That means a lot to me.

As far as I know this is still the U.S.A. and we still have the right to free speech. Unless that has changed, you think I would have heard something about it.

Okay, I am sorry, I will resist the urge to ramble on. This letter was intended to be a thank you to those of you at the newspaper. So let me close with a heart felt thank you.

NewÊ membersÊ andÊ trainingsÊ keepsÊ HagueÊ FireÊ DepartmentÊ busy To the Editor: The Hague Fire Department and EMS squad has been very busy this spring with training and calls. The department has been training weekly, and welcomes Nate Swinton as a new junior member to the department. A drill was recently held with the Boy Scouts, where airbags were place under a truck to lift it up off a rescue manikin.

EMS has a new EMT. Congratulations to Aren Witherell on passing her state exam and becoming a certified EMT-B. Connie Swinton has also joined the squad and hopes to take the EMT class in the future.

Training was held on our newest piece of equipment, the LUCAS mechanical CPR machine. The LUCAS automatically performs chest compressions at a rate of 102 per minute, and at exactly the proper depth. This will allow continuous CPR and responders can concentrate on airway and defibrillation.

The department will host a community CPR class teaching the public how to recognize cardiac arrest, check for a pulse and deliver chest compressions properly Wednesday, June 29, at the Department, at 7 p.m.

For information on this class, please contact ambulance captain Meg Haskell at 543-6059.

began writing this column in a conflicted state. I’ve always been a bit of an opportunist, taking things as they come and trodding the road less traveled.

I awoke at 4:22 a.m. this past Monday and, sipping coffee on our enclosed back deck along the Saranac, I offered my daily prayer of gratitude and praise for the vista before me. It was dark at the time, but watching the sun rise is a special thrill matched only by watching it go down.

The first hummingbirds darted in for an early sip. The blue herons (we call them “Big Birds”) lumbered up the river. The birdsongs melded into a glorious melody, all the lovelier because they were composing a tribute to the first day of summer.

I felt blessed to observe Mother Nature at her very best.

Not only did she greet summer, but shared it with a lovely full moon—first time that happened since 1967. Were you aware of that confluence?

Native Americans called it a “strawberry moon,” not because it was that color, but because it marked the beginning of the berry-picking season. I won’t be picking anything except lint out of my belly button, but I will follow my own advice and pay attention to whatever random thoughts drift through my muddled mind on this longest day of the year.

You no doubt never gave it a second thought, but the summer solstice was a very big deal for the ancients and remains so for many. More than 25,000 visitors were expected to gather at Stonehenge in Wiltshire England for the occasion.

Most everything in my life has connections to music. I performed it for many years, played it for almost 36 years on the radio and wake up every day with a melody in my head. Today was no exception. The song was Nat King Cole’s hit, “Those LazyHazy-Crazy Days of Summer” from 1963.

I scoured the cobwebs under my scarce strands of white hair for other summer hits and each is a blast from the past. As you try to recall favorites of your own, let me refresh your memory: “Surfin’ Safari” by the Beach Boys, 1962; Chad & Jeremy’s “A Summer Song” from 1963; “Summer Breeze,” Seals & Crofts, 1972; “In the Summertime, Mungo Jerry, 1970; “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” Sly & the Family Stone, 1969; “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini,” Bryan Hyland, 1969. Do you remember hearing our interview with Bryan on the radio and his appearance that night right here at Plattsburgh’s Rollerland? I do.

There are many more summer song titles, melodies and lyrics rattling around in my noggin that date back to childhood and I’m sure it’s also true for you.

Whether you are a druid or a music lover and constant observer of the world around you, Kaye and I and our “Little” Shangri-La wish for you and yours a super summer 2016.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Moving forward

I

n wake of a national tragedy, it is oftentimes difficult to feel like fun is appropriate. Yet it’s in a time of mourning that the enjoyment of art, music and performance can be more important than ever. We must continue to celebrate and value life and humanity. We must connect with, and stand together with our communities if we hope to help one another move forward.

There are many opportunities to do so this week.

The Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb will host sculptor George Bumann as their artist in residence this summer. In addition to teaching art and natural history programs, Bumann’s work is on permanent display at the National Museum of Wildlife Art and the C.M. Russell Museum. His outreach programs have been featured on both the Discovery and Travel channels. On June 30, the Adirondack Interpretive Center will host a free “Meet the Artist” event at 7 p.m. Bumann will later kick off the Center’s Huntington summer lecture series with a presentation on “The Intelligence of Animals” on July 7. For more information, contact the Adirondack Interpretive Center at 518-582-2000.

On June 26, alternative rock band The Versa Contrast will perform at the ROTA Studio and Gallery in Plattsburgh. The Versa Contrast released their first album, “Introvert // Extrovert,” last year. Local psychedelic rock band The Label will co-headline. Admission is on a $3-10 sliding scale. Attendees are encouraged to pay what they can afford. Doors open at 7 p.m., the show begins at 7:30 p.m.

The Waterhole in Saranac Lake will host Naples-based Americana band Mulberry Soul on June 25 as part of their Party on the Patio series. Mulberry Soul’s sound features a vibrant folk/bluegrass fusion. The show is free and starts at 6 p.m.

On June 30, the Waterhole will also welcome Florida rock band The Heavy Pets. The Heavy Pets released their debut album, “Whale,” in 2007. The show begins at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free. For more information about these shows, contact the Waterhole at 518354-5441.

On July 1, award-winning author Lawrence P. Gooley will present “Escape from Dannemora,” a PowerPoint presentation based on his book, “Escape from Dannemora: 170 Years of Escapes, Tortures, and Infamous Inmates at New York’s Most Notorious Prison,” at the Indian Lake Theater. His new book, “Escape from Dannemora,” was in progress when inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped last June. The effort to capture them gripped the region and the nation for nearly a

Ti hopes new fuel farm draws traffic to airport

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — The airport here has taken a new step to help it become more productive and attractive to aviators.

The town has installed a new fuel farm at the airport, which will allow home-based planes as well as travelers to fill their tanks.

“We want to start putting the Ticonderoga Airport on the map more, and this is a way to do that,” town councilman Fred Hunsdon, Sr., said. “We are looking to make sure aviation publications start to put us on the map so people know they can fill up here.”

Ernie Tobin, who built a hanger at the airport in 2009, said the hanger and fuel tanks, along with a restroom facility, are the three key things a smaller airport needs to attract non-resident fliers.

“The hanger is needed to attract aircraft because it cost a lot of money to keep a plane outside,” Tobin said. “Fuel and facilities are going to give people a reason to come to the airport.”

The town received a grant to put in the fuel tanks and worked with their usual airport engineer — Shumaker Engineering — to get the plans in place for a self-contained, above-ground fuel tank which

would be self-serve with the use of a credit card.

“It’s just like if they were in their cars and filling up at a gas station,” Tobin said. “This was direction we looked at and the engineers back us up with data.”

In the first two weeks of opening, the tanks had drawn some customers.

“We have had some activity at the field with six sales in the month of May,” said Karla Vigliotti with the town. “We are still in the process of getting the word out there.”

“In a place like Ti, the sales should increase,” Tobin said. “The peak season has not started yet and between June and October, I think we will sell a good amount of fuel.”

Tobin said another reason he believes the fuel farm will be successful is because of Ticonderoga’s location between several airports, which vary in size.

“We are in the center of things,” he said. “The thing I have found is pilots going cross-country do not want to stop in Albany or Burlington because of the air traffic and everything else, it takes up a lot of time. Typically, they look for fields with easy in-andout, and that is what we have here.”

This pilot was the first to fill up at the new Ticonderoga Airport fuel farm.

TICONDEROGA

The 30th annual Montcalm Mile will offer $2,400 in prize money this July 4th for elite runners, but family fun is the hallmark of the race. The Montcalm Mile, the largest participation event in Ticonderoga every year, is expecting nearly 500 runners in 2016.

Montcalm Mile registration open Record field expected for 30th annual race

TICONDEROGA — A record field is again expected for the 2016 Montcalm Mile.

Part of Ticonderoga’s Best Fourth in the North celebration, registration for the Montcalm Mile is now open. Runners can save money and time by registering in advance online at montcalmmile.racewire.com or at the LaChute Road Runners Club website — lachute. us Entry fees will increase race day.

The 30th annual one mile road race, held July 4th just prior to Ticonderoga’s Best Fourth in the North parade, will again offer prize money in an effort to attract another top field of competitors.

With a men’s course record of 3 minutes, 54.1 seconds, the Montcalm Mile is believed to be the fastest mile anywhere in New York and Vermont, outside New York City.

The 2015 race featured a photo finish, an NCAA champion and runnerup, college All-Americans, an Olympic qualifier, a new course record, three sub-4-minute miles and a record field.

The 2015 race sold out with 450 registers runners; 435 completing the course.

They came from 23 states, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Alex Brimstein, Joshua McDougal and Joseph Gentsch pulled away from the field in the final 400 meters, battling to the tape. In a thrilling finish,

www.fisherhouse.org

Brimstein edged ahead on the final step to win in 3 minutes, 57.4 seconds.

McDougal was second in 3:57.6 with Gentsch third in 3:59.2. The course record is 3:54.1, set by Lee Berube.

The women’s race wasn’t as close, but just as exciting. Defending champion Sara Dunham of Peru broke her own course record, winning in 4:39.7.

She was followed by Brenna Clark of Ocean, N.J., in 4:57.9 and Danae Polsin of Rochester in 5:01.6.

The 2016 Montcalm Mile will again award prize money to men and women in three classes — open elite, masters elite for ages 40-49 and veterans elite for ages 50 and older.

The open elite class will pay $300 to the men’s and women’s winners with $200 to second place and $100 to third place. In the masters and veterans classes first place men and women will receive $150 with second place getting $100 and third place $50.

Runners must register in the elite divisions to be eligible for prize money.

It’s a downhill course that virtually assures runners of personal bests and attracts most of the region’s top athletes.

Also attracting runners is the fact the race is run minutes prior to Ticonderoga’s annual Fourth of July parade, which means hundreds of spectators line the course offering encouragement.

The Montcalm Mile, the largest participation event in Ticonderoga every year, will team with RaceWire for computerized chip timing and scoring in

2016.

To facilitate the scoring system, runners are asked to register for the race online at montcalmmile.racewire.com or at the LaChute Road Runners Club website — lachute.us Limited race day registration starts at noon at the starting line at the intersection of Wicker Street and Race Track Road. Registration will end promptly at 12:30 p.m. or whenever the race sells out. The event did sell out last year. For entry information contact Tracy Smith at 35 Highland Ave., Ticonderoga 12883, Email at trsmith.ts1957@gmail. com or call 518-569-0947.

Race information can also be found online at the LaChute Road Runners Club website — lachute.us and at best4thinthenorth.com/ The race will start at 1:45 p.m.

Medals will be presented to all finishers. Age group results will be posted on the web site lachute.us The LaChute Road Runners has sponsored running events for decades in Ticonderoga while raising money to support youth running. The LaChute Road Runners has financed trips for the Ticonderoga High School cross country and track teams, purchased equipment for the scholastic harriers, provided monetary assistance to teens attending camps and awards the annual Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship. The club has awarded $17,000 in college scholarships the past 12 years.

The delay has sparked frustration in the community.

Mark Granger, president of the Schroon Lake Association, peppered Cornett with a broad range of questions, from wiring, cable packages, data plans, installation details and system interoperability.

“These are real questions,” Granger said. “Everybody looks at us, for better or worse, and says ‘when?’”

Pressure is mounting from year-round residents who are being pushed by their satellite providers to sign new two-year contracts, Granger said.

Seasonal residents are also coming forward with questions.

Cornett said the provider will continue to keep residents updated.

“I’m committed to coming out a monthly basis,” Cornett said.

The Watertown Daily Times reported earlier this month that Slic owed $700,000 in back property taxes on 71 different properties in St. Lawrence County, angering legislators as they attempt to navigate revenue shortfalls and rising costs.

Cornett said the controversy wouldn’t affect operations in Schroon.

Slic opted against paying the taxes, which begin to accrue once their fiber is placed on utility poles, as part of a calculated strategy designed to invest those funds back into business operations, Cornett said.

“It makes more sense to pay the penalties over time,” Cornett said.

A payment plan is “either being established, or it has been established” in Franklin and St. Lawrence counties, he said.

The provider received $33 million in federal stimulus money in 2010.

Cornett said it’s a misconception that grants result in cash.

“You can’t take grant money and spend it on something that grant money wasn’t for,” Cornett said. “It was for construction — we’re kind of limited there.”

Work in Schroon will not be leapfrogged in favor of other projects, Cornett said.

“It’s strategically important to get you done first,” said Cornett. “We can’t get the others done without you being done.”

ABOVE: Still waiting: The installation of fiber in Schroon by Slic Network Solutions is hinging on when competing service providers, including Time Warner, National Grid and Verizon, will make room on their utility poles for equipment installation. The timeline remains unclear, said a Slic representative.

MORIAH

Slain victims of Orlando mourned in Port Henry vigil

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — They assembled in small knots,

making their way down the grassy knoll gradually sloping toward Lake Champlain.

Across the country, people gathered in a markedly different ritual, making funeral arrangements and purchasing gravesites.

Forty-nine of them.

Mourners gathered on the lawn of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Port Henry on Thursday, a world away from Orlando, where 49 victims fell victim to a mass shooting at a nightclub on June 12.

Rev. Ken Parker and Rev. Albert J. Hauser emerged from St. Patrick’s and approached their flock.

The waning sunlight cast wide shadows over the water.

Candles and lyrics sheets were handed out to the group, mostly elderly and white, a stark contrast to the victims, nearly half of whom were young adults from Puerto Rico.

The group fell silent and looked at Parker.

“This is an opportunity to come together in mourning, to grieve, to affirm as a community that things have happened, not the type of things that happen in our com-

munity or any peace-loving community that cares about each other,” Parker said.

The youth of the victims has compounded the suffering, said Parker. Parents now find themselves doing the unimaginable: Burying their children.

“My response is prayer,” Parker said.

A warm wind blew, rustling the leaves of a massive oak tree.

Hauser read a statement from the Vatican, which

expressed “horror and condemnation, of pain and turmoil before this new manifestation of homicidal folly and senseless hatred.”

The group murmured in prayer, a plea to end violence and give solace to the injured.

Parker began reading the names of the departed, most of them Hispanic, in his rugged North Country accent: Stanley Almodovar III. Amanda Alvear.

Oscar A Aracena-Montero.

Rodolfo Ayala-Ayala.

The reverend paused.

Parker said he joined other Americans in struggling to identify the cause of the deadliest shooting in the country’s history and how to stem the violence.

“I don’t think there’s anyone at fault here other than the perpetrator,” Parker said.

“If someone has malice and hatred in their heart, it is impossible to stop them from doing something that is essentially evil.”

The names continued, followed by a prayer: “Precious Jesus, we offer you our praise and thanks,” the group said.

Parker sat down on a picnic table for a moment, looked across the lake, at rolling farmlands flecked with ruby-red barns, silos and freshly-tilled fields.

He rose and the group sang “Amazing Grace,” their soft voices carrying across the water.

It is difficult to reconcile the region’s natural beauty with the tragedy, he said, gazing across the water. But, he added, “we are not a people who dwell on the negative or the sadness” An old spiritual followed.

“I’ve got peace like a river in my soul,” the group sang.

The wind blew harder.

Some candles were extinguished, but most stayed lit.

“We have acknowledged our shared pain,” Parker said.

Port Henry residents gathered on Thursday, June 16 at a candlelight vigil to mourn the victims of the Orlando shooting.

CROWN POINT — Mother Nature is smiling on the First Congregational Church of Crown Point.

For starters, the beginning of the 2016 strawberry season is starting off with predictions of a bumper crop, which means there will be plenty of the red fruit for the church to pick from for the 12th annual Strawberry Festival and Classic Car show Sunday, June 26, from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the park across from the First Congregational Church.

And, secondly, there is much, much less rain in the forecast.

“It’s going to be sun-shiny and warm,” said Pastor David Hirtle.

As always, the festival will include the churches’ “famous” strawberry shortcakes (made with local berries), strawberry ice cream sundaes, burgers, hotdogs, sausages, refreshments, bread items, onions and peppers and more. There will also be the “Jump for Joy,” bounce house for kids.

“They are going really quite well,” said Hirtle on the preparations. “It is a busy year and there is a lot of things going on.

I hope it will be a good year for those who attend as well as those of us working the festival.”

Vendors will also again be a part of the festivities. Hirtle said they are still accepting those looking to sell their wares, as they can call Gary Stevens at 216-4072 for more information.

The proceeds have been used to support historic buildings as well as provide funds for community outreach programs, including fuel, food and heating assistance.

“We have made a partnership with one of the relay for life teams we are going to help and the Cure JM,” Hirtle said. “We want to help out where we can because we know it has been it

has been a tough year again.”

Along with the Strawberry Festival will be the Classic Car Show, with registration starting at 9:30 a.m. and cars being shown throughout the day.

Hirtle said the goal of the car show was to provide even more attractions for those who wanted to have an experience for the entire family.

“The object is to have a really great day of the family with the strawberry’s and the vendors and the vehicles that will be there,” Hirtle said.

For more information, contact Hirtle at 597-3398.

The 12th annual Strawberry Festival and Classic Car show will take place this Sunday, June 26, at the Park across from the First Community Church.

Crown Point seniors recently participated in the first annual Senior Walk. Students in Pre-k through 11th grade lined the school hallways to cheer the seniors on as they paraded through the hallway in their caps and gowns.

Some things take time

W

hen you are 3 years old and with dad in the boat, you are mostly a watcher. Dad fishes and you watch and learn, wetting a hook and worm once in a while. Just being out with dad is enough. As you spend more time, dad shows you the art and science of fishing. Your first fish may be a sunny or a perch; a trophy to you.

As your skills develop, say by eight or 10 years of age, you are catching some small bass, and reeling them in with dad’s help, but showing him, and telling him of course: “I know how to do this dad”, as he helps net a fish or two for you.

By 10 or 11 you are with dad every evening when he goes to the lake after work. Now, a seasoned veteran of the high seas, pulling in a 10 pound sheepshead or fresh water drum is nothing new. “Been there, done it,” you say.

At 12 years old, on Lake Champlain with dad once again, while bouncing a Laser Blade drift fishing, you feel that familiar tug. The pole bends, nearly snapping in half as you set the hook and start winching in a fish.

On June 4, Joe Whalen watched his daughter, Amelia, who is now 12 and smiled. After a 10 minute ordeal he saw the big fish roll a few times as it started to tire out. He thought to himself: “This is a beauty,” and said to Amelia, “don’t lose that fish.”

As Joe grabbed his net with a built in scale, he lifted the fish out of the water: 10 pounds, 15, then 20… 25. Holy cow, this fish is almost 30 pounds! Knowing this is a beauty, the duo attempted to keep the fish alive. Joe excitedly phoned his brother who was also out fishing, and told him to come over and give them a hand. Rob Whalen arrived but his live well was too small for this Lake Champlain monster of a fish.

The group hurried off to Norm’s Bait and Tackle Shop in

Church announce activities, service CROWN POINT — The First Congregational Church invites the community for Worship Service Sunday, June 26, at 9 a.m. The service will include reflective time and Pastoral Prayers, singing, as well as a positive, timely message.

Friday, June 24, will be the tent set-up in the “Park” in preparation for the annual Strawberry Festival, at 5 p.m.

Second Blessings Community Thrift Shop is open for the Season. If there is an emergent need during non-open hours,

Crown Point, because they needed to get there before closing for the evening. They made it just in time. Norm was still there, just ready to lock up for the evening. Norm had the official scale they needed to officially weigh this fish. No joking around — all eyes were on the scale and tape as the readings were taken: 29.90 pounds and 36.5 inches long.

This was a fishing trip both Amelia and dad will never forget. The seasoned fishing veteran of nine years broke the New York State record for fresh water drum. State DEC fisheries biologists confirmed the record.

A few years back, James VanArsdall of West Henrietta caught a record breaking freshwater drum from Irondequoit Bay (Lake Ontario) in Monroe County. Caught on June 14, 2014, the fish measured 33.5 inches and weighed 26 pounds 9 ounces and broke the previous state record by more than two pounds.

Now that honor belongs to a 12-year-old young women named Amelia Whalen of Moriah in Essex County, New York. That makes two proud people: Amelia and her dad, Joe Whalen. It took her a few years to learn the ropes, but some things take time. Congratulations Amelia and happy father’s day Joe!

Fawns are arriving: leave them alone

ADIRONDACKS – State wildlife biologists say deer fawns are being born this time of year and ask that people avoid disturbing or picking them up.

Most deer fawns are born in late May and the first and second weeks of June, according to Vermont deer biologist Nick Fortin.

Fortin says it is best to keep your distance because the fawn’s mother is almost always nearby. When people see a small fawn alone, they often mistakenly assume it is helpless, lost or needing to be rescued.

Fawns do not attempt to evade predators during their first few weeks, instead relying on camouflage and stillness to remain undetected. During these times, fawns learn critical survival skills from their mothers. Bringing a fawn into a human environment results in separation from its mother, and it usually results in a sad ending for the animal.

Fortin encourages people to resist the urge to assist wild-

life in ways that may be harmful, and he offered these informational tips: Deer and moose nurse their young at different times during the day, and often leave their young alone for long periods of time.

These animals are not lost. Their mother knows where they are and will return.

Deer normally will not feed or care for their young when people are close by.

Deer fawns will imprint on humans and lose their natural fear of people, which can be essential to their survival.

Keep domestic pets indoors, leashed or fenced in. Dogs often will kill fawns and other baby animals.

For the safety of all wildlife, taking a wild animal into captivity is illegal in Vermont.

“It’s in the best interest of the wildlife for all of us to maintain a respectful distance and help keep wildlife wild,” Fortin said.

call Pastor David at 597-3398 or Bonnie Landry at 597-3028.

They are always there to help. They are looking for Staff to help fill-in the gaps on Thursday’s.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Review: What’s your name? Hamilton still has things he hasn’t done

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

I

t was not a usual vacation Saturday in New York City. The whole reason we were down there to begin with was because my daughter had her second audition for a national television show, which took most of the morning.

On our way back to the car, I decided something: “I am not going to miss my shot,” to give my kids the chance to see a once in a lifetime event — Hamilton on Broadway.

Hamilton is the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton, his rise to power as a lawyer, revolutionary and first Secretary of the Treasury in the United States. The show is set to a modern soundtrack, as creator Lin Manuel Miranda has called Hamilton, “somebody who embodies hiphop.” The show also explores his relationships with his wife, his friends and, of course, political rival Aaron Burr (if you know history, you know there’s a spoiler here).

Tickets were a little steep — in fact, we will get back to that a little later — but the reaction of my two oldest, especially my son, who already knew every word of every song in the 11-time Tony Award-winning musical, was priceless. While it’s a little dark, I think this picture proves it.

Here’s what Lawrence, my right-hand man, thought: “I thought Hamilton was very, very good. I laughed, I cried, and I loved every second of it.

The characters were compelling and very relatable.

Some people also played more than one character.

Thomas Jefferson was really funny. The dynamic between Laurence, Lafayette, and Mulligan was really compelling, The character of King George III was hilarious, The Schuyler sisters were really good, Aron Burr was very compelling, and Alexander Hamilton was so good. Alexander was funny, he was serious, he was sad. Everyone had amazing performances.

“The music also really made it amazing. The play is hip-hop. There is rapping, singing, and dancing.

You really have to listen to the music to understand how good it is. Eliza Hamilton is amazing, Daveed Diggs who plays Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson was an amazing rapper, and Burr is really patient wile he sings.

“The play is an amazing achievement in musicals and if you have the chance to see it you will not regret it.”

And Malynda’s thoughts: “Many people have heard about the musical Hamilton. Whether you’re a Broadway fanatic, or just someone who’s heard about it on the news

somewhere, the point is, you’ve probably heard of it.

Nominated for 16 Tony’s and winning 11 of them, some people may wonder if all this Hamilton hype is worth it. For me, the answer is 100 percent yes.

Not only does the musical make the story of one of our founding fathers fun to watch, but it adds the element of music and emotion. The songs are very well thought out, and the actors and actresses play their parts perfectly. The play will make you laugh, cry, and it will definitely make you want to stand up out of your seats and dance. Not many people can combine rapping and the life story of Alexander Hamilton, but if you have the chance, I would definitely watch (if you can get tickets, at least).”

Doubt I could say it better.

This was the best thing I have seen on a stage.

There are no slow moments, as one songs winds into another and the main, thematic songs are intertwined into the other works all the way through to the last note.

So, here’s the thing, at the beginning of the play, Hamilton says there’s, “a million things (he) hasn’t done, just you wait...” Well, some of those things we had to wait until the 21st century to see.

First off, the musical has changed the course of modern currency. When it was announced there would a woman gracing the front of a bill, that person was supposed to replace Alexander Hamilton, the “$10 founding father.”

That line, alone, moved Harriett Tubman to the $20, replacing Andrew Jackson. In the announcement, Department of Treasury officials acknowledged the change was made because of the musical, showing what happens when someone does a masterful job to, “tell his story.”

That’s one way Hamilton has changed modern life, and here’s the other: New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced he was going after both illegal “ticket bots” and additional issues to allow people to buy tickets. This stems from the report (which, trust me, I know is true) that tickets soared online when word of Hamilton’s creator and star, Lin Manuel Miranda, was leaving the show July 9.

“For too long, unscrupulous ticket brokers have used illegal bots to scoop up tickets to popular events (he might as well have coughed ‘Hamilton,’ under his breath here), denying ordinary fans the chance to buy them at a reasonable price.

“However, my office’s investigation and report show that bots are only part of the rigged ticketing game. I look forward to... create a more fair, transparent and affordable ticket market.”

So, it appears, thanks to Miranda, history still has it’s eyes on the man who wrote like he was running Lawrence Lobdell stands with his ticket for the show Hamilton as he prepares to enter the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City. out of time.

1929-2016 On May 17th Carl Resek Ph.D. died at home in California under the compassionate care of Hospice of Petaluma and his beloved wife. The cause of death was leukemia.

Dr. Resek was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia on June 29, 1929, to Drs. Felix and Sonya Resek, both successful pediatricians.

The family owned a large home in the center of the city where Carl lived with his parents and older sister Judith. He fled Prague with his parents and sister within six-weeks of the Nazi invasion. They escaped shortly after the S.S. came to their home, searching for Felix, an active Zionist. Fortunately, Felix was not at home and the family left the city that night. Their escape route took them through Germany to Denmark, Great Britain, and finally to New York. Both his parents practiced medicine after the family settled in Kew Gardens.

Carl graduated with honors from Brooklyn Technical High School where he was on the chess team. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and received his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. He and his first wife, Kate Resek, raised their children, John and Susan, in Leonia New Jersey. They were divorced in 1985.

Dr. Resek was a scholar of American Social and Intellectual History, with a particular interest in the progressive movement of the early 20th Century. He taught at Columbia University and Sarah Lawrence College. From 1970 to 1972 he served as a senior member of the planning staff for the new campus of the State University of New York to be founded at Purchase. He subsequently assumed the title of Dean of Humanities at SUNY Purchase and served in that position from 1971 to 1990.

His most distinguished awards were a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and a Fulbright Lectureship at the Ionian University in Corfu, Greece. His publications included “Lewis H Morgan, American Scholar;” “The Progressives,” and “War and the Intellectuals, the Collected Essays of Randolph Bourne.”

T

eams sponsored by Reale Construction and the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club won the minors and majors (respectively) championships for the 2016 regular season of Ticonderoga Little League. At the majors finals, Kiwanis scored a 3-1 victory over the Knights of Columbus in the title game, finishing with an undefeated record. Reale also finished the season with an unblemished mark. Teams and players also received trophies for accomplishments during the season.

The Ticonderoga Little League will now select All Star teams for ages 9-10 and 11-12 to participate in three local tournaments to end the Little League season in Plattsburgh and Glens Falls in July, ending with the last taking place in Aug. 5-7 in Ticonderoga.

The Reale Construction team included, back from left, Lucas Evens, Evan Frasier, Ethan Evens, Tyler Beeman, Mollie Woods, Tyler Bowman; front from left, Avery Lender, Keegan Thatcher, Andrew Lender, Isaiah Thatcher, Ian Lender, Brady Leerkes, and Jaice Dunning. Team manager was Tabitha Woods with assistants Jeff Evens, Corinna Woods and Keith Hurlburt. The Dugout mom was Brandy Beeman.

The Kiwanis championship team included (in random order) Nathan Trudeau, Adrian Paige, Tristan Carey, Montgomery Benedict, Michael Stippo, Garrett Drinkwine, Vinny Veneto, Evan Carey, Collin Lauzon, Carter Perron and Rowan Bechtold. Coaches include head coach Rich Trudeau and assistants Don Paige, Casey Carey, Terry Benedict and Tina Lauzon.

The Knights of Columbus majors team placed second in the Ticonderoga Little League, playing a strong championship game before falling to the eventual champions, Kiwanis, by a score of 3-1.

Captain:

Ryan Trudeau - Ticonderoga

Hannah Ross - Ticonderoga

Brody Rocque - Ticonderoga Leaders. That is the one word which describes the duo of the two-time CVAC MVP and his catcher, whose stellar careers both on the diamond and on the gridiron ended with a trip to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse in the fall and the NYSPHSAA regional championship game in the spring. They have been connected throughout their school careers, and even before, as Rocque and Trudeau hooked up in a pitcher’s dual as far back as Little League, as Rocque’s solo home run off Trudeau the only score in a 1-0 championship game. In all, this duo is the definition of leadership at the high school level.

Ross ends her career as one of the best pitchers in Sentinel History. In the last two seasons, the only losses posted to the right-hander have been in the post season, as Ross has stared down the toughest pitchers and hitters in the CVAC and defeated them all. Ross was the driving force in the circle to the Sentinel’s first-ever trip to the NYSPHSAA Final Four where they were defeated by Notre Dame-Elmira.
