PORT HENRY Ñ The Viking Class of 2015 is ready to embark on future journeys, a point made clear during the annual commencement ceremony June 26. Ò I encourage you all to live each day as if it was your last,Ó valedictorian Madison Stahl said. Ò Be adventurous and be brave.

Stewart’s grand opening features lower gas prices, ice cream eating contest

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Expect big crowds and a festive atmosphere as low gas prices, an ice cream eating contest and other specials draw customers to the new StewartÕ s Shop during a grand opening event Saturday, July 11.

The new Ticonderoga facility has been operational for a couple of weeks, but itÕ s been a fairly routine and low-key atmosphere.

But it wonÕ t be business as usual next Saturday, with a slew of promotions organized to formally celebrate the shop at 26 Montcalm St. In a statement last month, Maria DÕ Amelia, a spokeswoman for the Saratoga Springs-based company, said a ribbon cutting will be held at 11 a.m. to mark the opening of the facility, which replace the old StewartÕ s. The previous building was demolished and turned into parking slots.

The grand opening will bring many organizations together.

“We would like for you to be a part of the official opening,” DÕ Amelia said in a statement sent to community organizations.

All grades of gasoline will be 10 cents off -- all day long -during the grand opening celebration, including diesel, officials

announced.

If youÕ ve ever wanted to prove your love for StewartÕ s ice cream, the grand opening event may be your chance -- a pint eating contest is slated for 4 p.m. Those interested in participating can sign up at the Montcalm Street shop.

Specials will be also be offered on hot dogs, coffee, milk and many other products. The price breaks will be offered all day during the grand opening event.

Also, in conjunction with the grand opening, DÕ Amelia said the company will make $1,000 contributions to two community groups: The Kiwanis Club of Ticonderoga and the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership.

In total, StewartÕ s has more than 330 stores in New York and Vermont and has more than $1.6 billion in annual sales, according to the companyÕ s website. It donates $2.5 million to charity, with family foundations contributing double that amount.

DÕ Amelia said 2015 has been a busy construction season for StewartÕ s Shops, with more than a dozen large projects and numerous additions and remodels in the works.

The recently completed Ticonderoga shop features a walk-in cooler billed as a Ò beer caveÓ and expanded seating and parking. The updates aim to Ò make the eating and shopping experi-

From the Front Lines of the Manhunt for Sweat and Matt

Our reporters detail what it was like to cover the history-making prison break

W

By Pete DeMola

ho were Richard Matt and David Sweat?

Since the pair broke out of Clinton Correctional last month and into the collective consciousness, I often found myself trying to look past their mugshots in an attempt to discern who they really were.

Their faces were everywhere: MattÕ s dead-eyed look of abject menace and Sweat with glints of a special breed of detached crazy dancing behind a sociopathic stare.

Three weeks on the road covering the manhunt has put me in contact with a diverse cross section of the population Ñ Cops, journalists, government officials, the general public, the Twitterati — all of us, small pebbles orbiting around Matt and SweatÕ s outsized planet; their mugs, a force of preternatural gravity.

IÕ ve come to believe that the convicts who pulled off a once-in-a-lifetime getaway from one of the stateÕ s toughest prisons represented, and still do, different things to each of these groups; a blank slate onto which they projected their innermost wants, desires and criticisms.

For law enforcement officials, the pair seemed to embody the personification of every criminal mind, from two-bit skeezy scumbags to ingenious masterminds, with whom theyÕ ve ever had the misfortune of dealing. Each of the 23 days the manhunt remained underway was a stinging reminder of everything that theyÕ ve ever fought to stamp out while protecting us from the frontlines. But youÕ d never hear it directly from them: they remained professional and courteous to the end.

For correction officers, the pair appeared to represent the perils and pitfalls of an institutionalized system.

In the immediate aftermath, weÕ re already witnessing the fallout of what happens when good people make bad decisions. Matt and Sweat are the ultimate result when that symbiotic relationship that underpins all inmate-officer relationships in the prison system goes sideways. The duo represented the long hours spent away from their families, both in the manhunt and in their everyday lives, where guards spend their days walking a murky line in a culture none of us civilians can even pretend to understand. Their continued escape, a lingering slap in the face of equal parts shame, embarrassment and biting anger at a sprawling system that is far larger and more complex than just them.

Fortune favors the bold. For many reporters, especially those in the broadcast biz, Matt and Sweat dangled the glittering keys of upward mobility. With the hunt came meal tickets to better gigs Ñ each possible scoop, exclusive or even slip of the tongue from a tightlipped official, the difference between laboring in relative obscurity or moving up through the ranks, perhaps even to a nightly news desk. These escaped killers represented progress, and in the end, cynicism and a deep desire to get on the Northway and floor it back to civilization.

And for the general public, well, theyÕ re all over the map, like folks tend to be.

Some have used the duo as outlets onto which to focus their generalized locus of sputtering and often-incoherent rage Ñ at the state, law enforcement, the pressÉ whoever.

Others have used the inmates as a catalyst to unlock their deep wellsprings of humanity, using the opportunity to do some good in the world by giving back to their fellow man.

As for me, I’m still trying to figure all of it out.

Now that the manhunt has ended, the picture is coming back into focus: Matt is dead.

He leaves behind a lurid tabloid legacy of a failed jailhouse romance and grape gin.

His body remains unclaimed.

And Sweat is on the way back to the clink.

he Boston Marathon bombers. The Beltway sniper attacks. IÕ ve been gripped by manhunts before, but never quite like this one.

David Sweat and Richard Matt.

ItÕ s safe to say that IÕ ll never experience anything quite like the hunt for the two Dannemora escapees as long as I live. Not just as someone who grew up and still resides in northern New York, but as a media member who has seen first-hand how intense the search has been.

It was a challenge, being on the ground. The sense of duty to keep the public Ñ my own neighbors Ñ informed. The long hours, inclement weather, the wear and tear on vehicles and gear. And no, itÕ s not lost on me that any challenges I face paled in comparison to what law enforcement was up against.

Lastly, the constant balance of trying to get up and close without getting in the way. ItÕ s fair to assume that the scores of people covering the search, from local reporters to national cable news, didnÕ t make the investigatorsÕ jobs any easier.

I kept that in mind throughout. Even after passing through the same checkpoint multiple times, troopers were friendly. I said while chit-chatting with law enforcement that all of us, whether toting notepads, cameras or TV equipment, must be pesky. And the response has always been a polite acknowledgement that sounds something like this: Ò ItÕ s OK. We understand that we have our job and you have yours.Ó With that in mind, I was mindful along the perimeter, especially when it came to asking troopers where I could and couldnÕ t go.

On June 23, my colleague and I were pointed in the direction of Mountain View, the hamlet where DNA evidence — the first conclusive lead in the search — was obtained. As we turned around near a restaurant, a relatively quiet afternoon turned hectic at the drop of a dime.

Law enforcement vehicles, some marked with lights ablaze and others nondescript, barreled toward us. An officer looked at us and, with an apparent sense of urgency, gestured with a wave of his arm that we were to leave.

This type of situation wasn’t a first for either of us, but even so, itÕ s hard to quell the imagination: Is this it? Are we going to be right there when the capture goes down?

But common sense took over immediately. It was time to let them do their job and get the hell out of the way.

Driving west out of Mountain View, six police vehicles approached from the opposite direction, bumper to bumper and moving fast. State troopers, posted along the road every 25 yards with shotguns or automatic weapons in hand, continued to motion us away from the scene.

Ò Go, go, get out of here!Ó we heard one say.

More personnel, weapons drawn and pointed toward the dense forest, dotted the road to the left. Some crept toward the trees.

Law enforcement continued to barrel the opposite way as we put several miles between us and Mountain View. When eventually reached a checkpoint, all the while wondering what had happened behind us. The troopers manning this one were, once again, friendly and professional. Given what had just happened, the two had questions. Using a paper map and one on my phone, I traced the route that had taken us into, around, and back out of the hamlet. Ò Have either of you been outside of the vehicle?Ó “No, officer, we have not.”

And then we were asked to hold tight a little longer.

Apparently a sighting of two men running through the woods was called in. The initial response was quick; the following one would be thorough.

With over 2,000 leads called in throughout Ñ only a handful of which led to conclusive evidence Ñ one can only imagine how much work went into pursuing each as if it was the one that would break the search open.

We waited for higher-ups to arrive at the checkpoint.

Several SUVs came and went before one carrying two plainclothes officers arrived. Out stepped a tall, muscular man in a Guns NÕ Roses T-shirt, and a woman in jeans and a dark blue top.

The female officer pulled me aside and made two things clear. First, we werenÕ t in trouble. Second, it was essential that they know whether we had been out of the car, whether it was 50 feet or five.

I admired the professionalism of the encounter, especially given that less than an hour ago a call was made that may have put the escapees in the crosshairs. The closest either of us had been to out of the car was an arm in an open window, but communicating that was a challenge of its own.

“To be candid,” I told the officer, “even if I had to go to the bathroom and stood five feet off the road to do it, IÕ d tell you.Ó I said that because I did have to go during our drive through Mountain View, but refrained. I do bear some resemblance to Sweat, so I had been told, and had been extremely mindful of that when I was anywhere near the search.

After some time, the investigators gave us the green light to move on. With a mutual thanks Ñ to us for our patience and them for their service Ñ we got back in the car and continued west.

The search area was a strange, strange world.

Sights IÕ ve seen all my life can, at any moment, be interrupted by a wave of a hundred COs emerging from the woods. Agents in full tactical gear have crossed CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Non-ordinary school year comes to a close TICONDEROGA Ñ Another school year has just ended but not an ordinary school year for St. MaryÕ s Elementary School and the First United Methodist Church. What started out as a normal September 2014 school opening for St. MaryÕ s quickly turned to tragedy for the Ticonderoga area community due to a late night fire at the elementary school.

The entire community quickly rallied to the needs of the children to reestablish a learning environment, security of routine and nurturing. Within just a few days, classrooms were made available, school building regulations were addressed and the First United Methodist Church fellowship wing was transformed into a school for Pre K, Kindergarten and grades 1 through 4. Long hours and dedication from both church-families, staff and agencies made it possible to bring the school busses filled with eager children up to the front doors of the church and school in record breaking time.

The school year may be over and another chapter ended but emotions and friendships will linger for a long time. One of the bulletin boards decorated by the staff of St. MaryÕ s says, Ò We entered as Strangers but leave as Friends.Ó And, as Pastor Scott Tyler of First United Methodist Church said, Ò WeÕ ve become a bigger family of Jesus.Ó The future looks bright with the refurbishing of St. MaryÕ s Elementary School and its future occupants next fall.

A

headline read, Ò ItÕ s Over.Ó Like other traumatic events, most of us will remember what we were doing when the second of two Clinton Correctional Facility escapees was shot. This one lived.

I was only indirectly involved by using Facebook as a platform for information. IÕ m not sure how that came about, but it wasnÕ t long after the escape that I became obsessed with the

by Gordie Little story. I was doing it for no reward except my own satisfaction and I wanted to fulfill a need.

It soon drew me in like a vortex. Every time I shut off the computer, there were comments on Facebook like, Ò Where is Gordie?Ó I felt like Waldo and concluded I was letting friends down by my absence.

As a news junkie, I monitored all media coverage. Soon, people began supplying me with insider information. One day, I mentioned an “unconfirmed source” indicating that one of the inmates had been captured. It turned to be false and I took a boat load of grief. I was deeply hurt and decided to back off completely.

Many insisted that I jump back into the fray and I ultimately did so with trepidation. People wanted me to post what I learned and I attempted to do so in a responsible way. It paid off. We learned and reported salient facts as they unfolded.

A collective sigh of relief was felt when new friends and old learned that both escapees were no longer on the run. People unloaded their fire arms and returned to a semblance of normalcy.

Pages of responses from former and present residents began to pour in. Their sentiments were warm, thankful and encouraging. Kaye said, Ò Well, that kind of makes up for long stretches of time I couldnÕ t talk to you because you were so engrossed in that computer screen.Ó I was like a hound on the scent. I suppose itÕ s akin to a gambler who believes this is the day he hits the jackpot. I felt every day that the search would end and paid close attention to everything. I added my prayers to others. My silent supplication was worded thus: Ò Dear God, if it is your will, lead these long-suffering searchers to a situation where the second escapee can be captured.Ó We walked into the door after attending the wake for KayeÕ s lifelong friend, Frannie Latinville, and got the news. A State Police Sgt. From the Malone station, was in the right place at the right time. Working alone, he spotted the escapee walking along the road. He tried to question the man who bolted toward the woods.

To show you how fortuitous the situation was, the Sergeant is a firearms instructor and, while chasing the man on foot, got off two very accurate shots that brought the fleeing man down.

I am grateful for the chance to play a small part in telling this story even as it was being written.

My sincere thanks to media from here and afar for working many long hours covering the escape story. I also salute the heroes from many agencies who spent countless tiring hours in awful conditions to bring the search to a successful conclusion. And I thank my North Country friends who donated a great deal to make sure those wonderful searchers had their needs taken care of in the field. We put up blue ribbons to honor our heroes.

WeÕ re learning more about how such an escape could happen. Others are working toward preventing it from ever happening again.

Having had many family members and close friends involved in corrections, I am well aware of the professionalism they show day in and day out while working in a very dangerous environment. I thank all of them for their service.

When the story is finally written, it might have a chapter that some of us find less than delightful. The chips will fall where they may, but I am still grateful for their service and am delighted to have the Clinton Correctional Facility here with its rich history. Thanks again for your support during a most difficult time.

Although LibbyÕ s Bakery CafŽ was able to attend the Market only once last season, their goal this season is to attend every Market. Many in the community are familiar with Libby’s fine fare including luscious desserts: pies, cookies, brownies, scones, croissants. For those who are familiar and for those who

are not, finding Libby’s at the FarmersÕ Market will be a veritable treat.

Heritage Center Museum set for summer programs Fort Ti to host 1920’s

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Heritage Center Museum will be hosting its own heritage festival over the summer for local youth.

The six-week, 12-part program, held on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 10 a.m., is geared for ages 5-12 and will focus on the impacts of arts on heritage.

In collaboration with the Ticonderoga Festival Guild and Ti Arts Galleries, the Heritage Museum, through a series of 12 action-oriented workshops will help children and their families learn to appreciate and understand how different cultural heritages have shaped the Adirondacks and how different cultures have used the arts to enrich and preserve their common customs, activities, and rituals.

The program will utilize local and regional artisans and crafters who will introduce art and customs associated with specific groups.

As in past workshops, the focus for participants will be on learning, making and taking new knowledge and creations away from the workshop.

Whenever possible, artists recruited for the Festival GuildÕ s Ò Festival of our Culture,Ó Arts Trek program will work

with children at the Heritage MuseumÕ s Wednesday workshop, and the Friday workshop will continue with enrichment activities based on WednesdayÕ s common theme.

The program opens July 8 with, Ò Whatever Floats your Boat,Ó featuring sea songs and chanties, with children decorating handmade wooden boats.

On July 10, Ò WhatÕ s Knot to Like?Ó will involve learning to make sailors knots into bracelets and other creative items.

On July 15, members of Seagle Music Colony will be part of Ò From Ugly to Beautiful.Ó After listening to the story of the Ugly Duckling, participants will take something they consider not beautiful and make it into something that is.

July 17 will have students use fabric paints and stamps to design t-shirts or pillowcases. Participants must bring their own shirts and pillowcases.

On July 22, Ò Dream CatchersÓ will see attendees learning the origin of the dream catcher and be guided to make their own. It is followed by the July 24 totem poles day, where students will make their own totems to tell an important story or event in their lives.

On July 29, Ò Freedom QuiltÓ will allow children to hear about the Underground Railroad in our area and use wrapping paper to create a Freedom Quilt.

On July 31, children will start a paper mache project to create an animal that is important to them. This workshop will be completed on Aug. 7.

Iroquois Wampum Belts, featuring performers from the Adirondack Shakespeare Company will lead a workshop to give children an awareness of the Iroquois use of Wampum Belts Aug. 5. Participants will create their own belts.

Flag stones will be the theme of Aug. 7. Students will create and paint their own flags on flat rocks. This workshop will include time to complete paper mache projects from July 31.

On Aug. 12, Festival Guild performer Michael Caduto performs Ó Earth Tales.Ó He will then instruct participants in ways to use beads to create necklaces with an environmental theme.

The season will end Aug. 14 with an art exhibit displaying the summerÕ s work at the Ti Arts Gallery located in the basement of the Hancock House. Refreshments will be served.

This program is made possible, in part, with funds from the Decentralization Program, a program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.

annual Garden Party TICONDEROGA Ñ Spend an elegant evening in the KingÕ s Garden at Fort Ticonderoga with music, food, cocktails, a silent auction, and good company. The 15th annual KingÕ s Garden Party will be held Sunday, July 12, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. This yearÕ s theme will reflect the 1920s and Prohibition Era, highlighting the era of the beautiful colonial revival garden. Tickets are $60; advanced reservations are required. For more information or to request an invitation contact Martha Strum at MStrum@fort-ticonderoga.org or call 585-2821 ext. 226.

Guests who attend are encouraged to wear 20th-century Prohibition Era attire; prizes will be given for creative effort. Music will be provided by the New York Jazz Trio and the event will be catered by the Mazzone Hospitality Group. The Garden Party supports Fort TiconderogaÕ s educational mission, including all horticultural programs. Honorary Chairpersons for the 15th annual Garden Party are members of the Beaty Family, longtime Fort Ticonderoga supporters who helped make the KingÕ s Garden restoration possible.

Inspired by the 18th-century military gardens, museum founders Stephen and Sarah Pell established the first ornamental garden on this site in the early 20th century as part of the restoration of the fort and their home, the Pavilion. The garden space became known as the Ò KingÕ s Garden,Ó a reference to the jardin du Roi planted by the French soldiers of Carillon. By 1920, Sarah hired Marian Cruger Coffin, one of America’s first female landscape architects, to design a new formal garden plan. Coffin’s carefully planned garden became a place of quiet retreat for the Pell family as well as a place of entertainment for distinguished visitors and guests. The story of preservation, horticulture, and hospitality continues today.

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Historical Society has issued a call for local performers to participate in a WWII-era USO show Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Hancock House. The event is part of a day-long commemoration of the end of World War II that will feature exhibits, educational programs and military vehicles in addition to other activities.

“These shows toured battlefields, hospitals and military installations, providing much-needed entertainment,Ó said event volunteer Diane Connor. Ò The shows were compromised of those entertainers who were available, so it was a real variety show, with bands, individual and group singers, comedians, acrobats, even dramatic recitations.

So, we are really looking for a wide array of performers for this re-creation.Ó Founded in 1941, the United Service Organization (USO) continues today, often performing shows in dangerous theatres of war around the world. Well-known performers of the WWII-era shows include Marlene Dietrich, Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello and the Andrews Sisters.

Additional information about the event and call for auditions is available by calling 585-7092 or via email at artiesgal@hotmail.com.

The Ticonderoga Historical Society advances the preservation and interpretation of history through collections, programs and community outreach.

Edgemont Bed and Breakfast opens

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MORIAH Ñ A cycling enthusiast who fell in love with Port Henry and Moriah has opened a new bed and breakfast just southwest of the hamlet.

Vincent Dupont sprayed champagne during the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Edgemont Bed and Breakfast, located at 284 Edgemont Road. It is being managed by Shelly Budwick. Ò She has a lot of experience with bed and breakfast establishments and is really taking care of it,Ó Dupont said.

Dupont said it was their separate passions - one for cycling and one for the community - which brought this dream to life. Ò IÕ m a guy who likes to ride my bicycle and I think the cycling in the Adirondacks is first rate,” he said. “I started to think about wanting to provide accommodations specifically catering to cyclists in the Adirondacks. Things like covered areas for bikes, laundry and other services needed during a long ride.Ó Once he had the idea, the rest started falling into place. Ò We drove through Port Henry a few years ago and just loved it,Ó Dupont said.

Ò There is a lot of potential. When we started looking for a site and found Edgemont, that was also a love at first site moment.”

While Dupont wants to cater to his fellow cyclists, the establishment is open to all who travel through the mountains and valleys of the Adirondacks. Ò We hope to expand and add mixed accommodations and rates for larger groups who are looking to stay on a budget,Ó he

said. Ò We want to attract a variety of people who pass through this area.Ó For more information on the Edgemont Bed and Breakfast, visit the website edgemontbandb.com or call 503-0688.

Port Henry set to hold another dissolution vote

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Residents in the Village of Port Henry will go to the polls later this year to decide if the government structure should be dissolved.

A petition was filed with Village Clerk Denise Daly Thursday, June 25, asking for a referendum on dissolving the incorporated village into the town of Moriah. Ò I am still in the process of validating the petition,Ó Daly said June 30. If the clerk determines the petition was signed by enough valid voters, the town board would then have 30 days to pass the resolution to set a date for referendum, Daly explained.

The board, through resolution, can set the date for the referendum vote between 60 and 90 days, which means the latest a

dissolution vote could take place would be Oct. 30 (Sunday, Nov. 1 would be the full date).

A joint town/village committee approached the topic of dissolution in 2009-10. But on a 186-146 vote, residents decided to retain the village government on a vote held in March 2010.

At the core of the current petition, according to filers, is the 2015 village budget, which included a 9.28 percent property tax hike. Officials cited rising operational costs associated with meetings the communityÕ s needs as a reason for tax rate hike.

For the fiscal year beginning May 1, the village’s tax rate was an estimated $11.78 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value, up from an estimated $10.78 per $1,000 during the current year.

Dissolution would mean the disbanding of the village government, employees and services. Village assets would be transferred to the town of Moriah, who would make all staffing and services decisions.

SonRise says goodbye to Schroon Lake Harpeth Rising

By Christopher Pratt set to perform christopher@denpubs.com

SCHROON LAKE Ñ Before bringing their traditions to a new worship space, members of the SonRise Lutheran Church parted ways last month with a scenic space along Schroon Lake -- a place where they established a legacy through camps and ministry. Ò ItÕ s mixed feelings,Ó Rev. Bruce Rudolf, interim pastor of the church, said a couple days before the final service June 21. “Naturally, weÕ re sad to leave a place thatÕ s been our homeÓ but Ò I think this will give us a chance to look ahead.Ó The congregation has arranged to hold services at Christ Episcopal Church on U.S. Route 9 in Pottersville, which is about one mile south from their longtime home along Schroon Lake. June 28 was the first service in the new space.

Rudolf, who succeeded the Rev. Ben Bahr following his departure for another assignment earlier this year, said despite the relocation he’s confident members are headed in the right direction.

The final morning service would “give people a chance to reminisceÓ and Ò be a joyful event,Ó Rudolf said.

The Lutheran community had a presence on the property between U.S. Route 9 and Schroon Lake for more than 50 years.

Besides the church on the grounds, it also operated Camp SonRise up until 2010. Ò In good years, we would have about 4,000 kids come up over the course of the summer,Ó Rudolf added.

Word of Life ministry organization purchased the property, which is home to numerous houses, meeting facilities and other amenities, several years ago. The camp area is now called Lakeside.

Despite the change in ownership, SonRise Lutheran Church continued to rent and meet in a space called Faith Hall. Rudolf, however, said he and other members knew their move was imminent, and the congregation has been readying itself for its next steps. Rudolf called the community Ò a small group of year round people, a larger group of snowbirds and weekenders.Ó The move is not expected to affect day-to-day operations like the churchÕ s food pantry and youth program. Going forward, Rudolf said the faith group will continue to have a ministerial imprint on the Adirondacks. The community will continue to focus on welcoming residents and vacationers. Services are held Sundays at 9 a.m.

The award-winning educator and musician has entertained audiences from Kentucky to Michigan, Belgium to Bulgaria, and Zimbabwe to Transylvania.

SCHROON Ñ For the past six years, Harpeth Rising has challenged the boundaries of folk music and created a sound that is both excitingly unique and surprisingly familiar. Their virtuosic instrumentals of banjo and violin mixed with cello and foot percussion create an exciting and unique blend of musical genres that include folk, rock, bluegrass, and roots music. The trio will be performing for the Schroon Lake Arts Council Boathouse Concert Series Tuesday, July 14, at the Dock Street Bandstand and Boathouse area, at 8 p.m. Admission is $15 for adults, $5 for students, and advance tickets are available at 532-9259 or by sending a check to Schroon Lake Arts Council, PO Box 812, Schroon Lake, NY 12870.

Their original lyrics, conveyed through the powerful three-part vocals, are both gritty and poignant. The all-female group met while studying classical music at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and were united and continue to be driven by their eclectic musical interests. Within one year of their formation and their move to Music City in 2009, they were voted Ô Best Local Band in NashvilleÕ by the Tennessean. Harpeth Rising began touring both nationally and internationally in 2010 with performances that include the Kerrville Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, London Folk Festival, Blissfest, Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour, Music City Roots, The Bluebird, and ROMP Music Festival.

The trio has recently relocated to Louisville, KY to be closer to their southern Indiana roots and join the growing eclectic musical and cultural landscape of the region.

After an impressive discography of four studio albums in four years, Harpeth Rising released their first live album in November of 2014. The album consists entirely of performances at The Dreaming Tree Coffeehouse in Baptistown, NJ.

Crown Point Continued from page 1 To her fellow graduates, Ryan implored them to push themselves in life in order to make a difference. Ò Go out and make a difference, the difference you make cannot be measured by the amount of attention you get for it,Ó she said. Ò I believe that every single one of us is capable of making a huge difference in this world, we just have to go out and try. DonÕ t worry about the statistics, or becoming immensely famous. Just go out with a goal big enough to push you harder than you ever have been, and achieve it.Ó Ryan also compared high school to a Rubix Cube, starting out jumbled then being twisted and turned into the completed puzzle. However, Ryan said there is more to do.

“Four years in which we thought we had figured it all out,Ó she said. Ò But the fact of the matter is that we don’t have anything figured out. Life is full of surprises, unexpected twists,

turns, and bumps that arenÕ t in any of our plans. This Rubix Cube represents the puzzle that life will always be. The past four years of high school have been about figuring ourselves out, not our whole future.Ó

While manhunt is over, many questions unanswered Courtroom battles just heating up

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com

the manhunt

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Earlier this week, as Richard Matt awaited burial and David Sweat recovered from two gunshots to the torso, charges related to their brazen escape had just begun winding their way through the court system.

Gene Palmer, the correction officer who was arrested on charges in connection with the pairÕ s escape from a maximum security prison last month, appeared in Plattsburgh Town Court on June 29, where his counsel waived his right to a felony hearing.

The case was moved to the Clinton County court system upon his counselÕ s request, the standard for felony charges.

The case may now go to a grand jury, which will then make a decision to indicate Palmer on three charges related to the escape, two of them felonies.

The long-term guard is accused of giving a screwdriver and pliers to at least of the one of the inmates and burning several prisonergifted paintings in his backyard following the escape on June 6.

More charges may be coming down the pike, said Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie. Ò If there is other charges that we can present against them that the grand jury wants to charge, then weÕ ll proceed,Ó said Wylie.

Wylie said he plans on allowing PalmerÕ s new attorney, William Dreyer, an extension that will allow him to review court materials, including recorded statements, a process that he estimated will take at least three weeks. Ò But I already have a grand jury seated and ready to hear the case tomorrow,Ó said Wylie.

At the appearance, Palmer wore a charcoal-colored suit and stared straight ahead, his face betraying no signs of emotion.

PalmerÕ s lawyer refused to address reporters except to confirm the case had been waived.

Palmer remains free on $25,000 bail.

Wylie said Sweat, who as of Tuesday was in serious condition at Albany Medical Center, will face at least one charge related to his getaway, escape in the first degree, a felony, once state police conclude their investigation, likely in 3-4 weeks. Ò ItÕ s a rather simple case Ñ we have two holes in the walls of the cellblocks,Ó said Wylie, noting the location of the adjoining cells in Clinton Correctional A-Block.

Sweat was serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for his role in the death of a Broome County SheriffÕ s Deputy in 2002.

Wylie said Sweat will be turned back over to the department of corrections once heÕ s been medically cleared.

The prosecutor said he was unaware of any comments made by Sweat following his capture in a rural field in Constable other than those shared by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who told the Capitol Pressroom on Monday that the pair had planned on going to Mexico before Joyce Mitchell, the prison seamstress who is also charged in connection with the case, bailed out. Ò Then they would go live happily ever after, which is a fairy tale that I wasnÕ t read as a child,Ó Cuomo said. Ò But we all believe what Gene Palmer, the correction officer charged in connection with the escape of two inmates from Clinton Correctional earlier this month, appeared in Plattsburgh Town we want to believe.Ó Court on Monday, June 29, where his counsel waived his right to a felony hearing.

Ti library gets new flag American Legion looks after patriotic symbols

By Christopher Pratt

christopher @denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The U.S. flag at the Black Watch Memorial Library in Ticonderoga had taken a licking by the time it reached its retirement on Montcalm Street on a recent Thursday.

Around 3 p.m. on June 18, in a workmanlike fashion, Charles Messier Jr. and Robert Rancour, lowered the faded and soiled flag. They weren’t sure of the specific number of years, but knew that Old Glory had done an honorable tour of duty through her years hoisted in the Adirondack sky.

Messier and Rancour are members of the American Legion. The national group’s flag advocacy has been developed over nearly a century of work. ItÕ s at ceremonies on holidays like Memorial Day where the public largely becomes familiar with the group’s devotion to the flag, but a lot of legionnairesÕ efforts go unseen.

Members of the local American Legion Post 224 have their headquarters across the street from the library in downtown Ticonderoga, and they noticed recently the flag had seen its fair share of snow and rain.

“We figured we’d come over and replace the flag,” said Messier, who is commander of the post.

On that Thursday, he and Rancour labored together under the hot sun in their t-shirts to bring down the old flag Just a few minutes later they hoisted up a crisp flag.

It’s brand new,” Messier said as he stood next a plot of budding flowers and plants beneath the flag.

The legionnaires said they hope the community appreciates the service of the old flag and honors the new one.

Rancour said a focus of the organization is also to ensure that all flags receive a proper disposal.

The Black Watch Flag will be retired at a ceremony on a later date, he said.

The group also maintains flags at sites like the memorial at LaChute Falls and Bicentennial Park.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga Police have joined the growing list of law enforcement agencies who have embraced the use of body cameras.

Five body cameras were purchased recently for the departmentÕ s use at a cost of about $2,000. Ò WeÕ ve only had them for about a month,Ó Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns said last week in a phone interview. “The officers are getting used to them.Ó The devices, which go for about $400 each, were purchased from Taser International, Johns said. They are designed to function after being attached to an officer’s uniform. The cameras record both audio and video interactions with the touch of a button.

Johns, who has worn a camera on duty described it as a Ò very lightÓ piece of equipment. Ò You donÕ t notice that itÕ s there,Ó he said.

Body cameras have been lauded as a tool to help departments improve transparency. Proponents say they can help keep officers from behaving inappropriately and also thwart back claims of misconduct. In addition, Johns said having the cameras will help in producing evidence and aiding prosecutions. Ò I think itÕ s going to bolster and strengthen cases.Ó The debate about body cameras was ratcheted up last summer in the wake of a police killing of an unarmed black man in Ferguson, Mo. Similar incidents involving aggressive displays of force and questions about law enforcement oversight have played out recently in numerous communities.

Ticonderoga supervisor Bill Grinnell said police department officials brought forth the idea of adding the technology shortly after events unfolded in Ferguson. Ò Our police force came to us and said they would prefer to have body cameras, which I think shows a lot of initiative,Ó he said.

It was rank-and-file officers who advocated for

the new equipment in Ticonderoga. Ò It wasnÕ t a top down approach,Ó Johns said.

But Johns said heÕ s a proponent of the program, noting body cameras are a more Ò economical approachÓ than in-camera vehicles known a dash cams. The dash cam technology has been phased out of all of the townÕ s police vehicles, Johns said.

The police chief said he would eventually like all seven full-time officers to be issued a body camera. He said officials could discuss the purchase of additional cameras during future budget cycles. In the meantime, Johns said cameras will be rotated around the department and issued out as needed on shifts.

Policy in the works

Officials were expected to discuss written guidelines for using the cameras at a police oversight committee earlier this week.

Johns said heÕ d like to have the policy set within a few weeks after the meeting.

Questions about how and when officers will be required to record interactions and for how long footage will be stored have been among the issues other communities have been grappling with.

Concerns have also been voiced about when the footage should be available under public records laws.

Grinnell said he anticipates Johns will put together a policy based on his research and observations of best practices seen in the law enforcement community.

In May, the American Civil Liberties Union released a set of recommended policies for the use of police body cameras. The groupÕ s proposal, among other suggestions, called for strict rules to control when officers must turn their cameras on and off. In addition, officers “would not be allowed to watch footage before filing initial reports about an incident, because viewing videos may influence officers’ recollections or enable officers to conform reports to what was or was not recorded.Ó
