Keeping cool

Archie was historian, volunteer

By Lohr McKinstry

MORIAH -- The death of beloved local historian and neighborhood volunteer Archie E. Rosenquist has shocked the community.

Rosenquist, 87, had not been feeling well for several days, friends said, and went to see his physician at Westport Health Center, where he passed away of an apparent heart attack while being examined.

Former Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) Director Barbara Brassard said Rosenquist was a longtime, valued volunteer for her group.

“He wore the most hats of any of our volunteers, and if we had a volunteer assignment we could always count on Archie.

“He was a wonderful man. He was always ready to help anyone who needed help. It’s a great loss to the community.”

Rosenquist ate breakfast most days at Foote’s Port Henry Diner, where he always selected the same seat at the end of the counter closest to the dining room.

Diner owner/cook Donald Foote was a friend of Rosenquist’s and looked forward to seeing him every morning.

“There aren’t many like Archie,” Foote said. “He was an exceptional guy. He will be missed a lot.”

Foote said when he first opened the diner, business was a little slow for the first couple years, and he’d go out and talk with customers, getting to know Rosenquist well.

“I learned a lot from him. He was a thinker.”

Members of the Ticonderoga Little League fire water canons at those along the parade route as part of the Best Fourth in the North in Ticonderoga Monday, July 4. Several floats helped to keep spectators cool during the 80-plus degree day, while those lining the parade route returned the favor in several spots.

NoÊ parking:Ê docksÊ willÊ notÊ beÊ atÊ MonitorÊ BayÊ thisÊ summer County, town working on replacement plan for bungled dock project

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

CROWN POINT — Summer is here and the Monitor Bay Park & Arena is again bustling with campers and RVs. But returning guests at the town-owned facility may notice a glaring absence:

The boat docks have been removed.

What happened?

A project to improve access to the aging infrastructure, originally constructed in the 1970s using railroad ties, was botched.

The marina overhaul was made possible through a state waterfront revitalization grant in 2012.

While the installation of a new retaining wall went smoothly, the steps leading to the docks were not designed to accommodate the tides.

Access to the 20-or-so boat slips became

difficult and the steps and gangway were removed and replaced with flower boxes.

“Never once were those stairs usable without us making us some accommodations to them,” said Charles Harrington, the town supervisor.

Harrington said the town recommended changes to the engineering firm throughout the construction phase, but those calls went ignored.

“This never occurred as the engineer stood steadfast with his design,” he said.

Since then, town and county officials have

been scrambling to repurpose grant funds, including those awarded for landscaping, to make the changes to get the dock system operational again.

Doing so is a laborious process which requires state approval — and a costly one, as the town had to match the $125,000 awarded for the grant.

Last week, town and county officials tasked AES Northeast, the engineering firm who designed the project, with designing specs for a new series of ramps, a pre-manufactured dock and floats, including some that are >> See DOCKS | pg. 14

Thorne walks the walk Ticonderoga Central track coach still going strong at 76

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Walter Thorne believes in teaching by example.

The Ticonderoga track and field coach doesn’t just instruct his student-athletes on how to compete on the track, he shows them, recently winning a pair of gold medals at the California Police and Fire Games in San Diego.

Not bad for a man who will be turning 76 in August.

“I’ve always ran,” Thorne said. “I used to race the bus home from school. I ran in the service but nothing official.”

Thorne got into competitive track when he went to work in the New York State Department of Corrections, eventually ending up as the superintendent of the Moriah Shock facility.

“When I got into corrections, the department started something called the Correctional Olympics,” he said. “A couple guys kept bragging about how well they could run and in 1986, so I decided to go out and give it a shot.”

Thorne tied for first in the 100 but placed second on a judges decision and placed second in the 1,500.

“I was hooked after that,” Thorne said. “It became something Walter Thorne competes in San that I loved to do so I continued.”

Diego earlier this year.

Thorne raced in the New York State Police Olympics, the Photo provided International Police Olympics, an event in Australia and the World Fire Police Games in Calgary 1991.

The same year as Calgary, Thorne started helping in Ticonderoga as the volunteer track and field coach. Eight years later, he was deciding whether to move on in his correctional career or retire.

“When you get some place and you have worked there for 10 or more years, you think there needs to be new blood there with new ideas,” he said. “Jim Wells asked if I was interested in coaching because the boys coach had left. I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. I became the boys coach in 1999 and then in 2002, they asked if I would be interested in being the head coach over boys and girls.”

During the whole time, Thorne kept running and competing.

He said it serves as a lesson for his athletes.

“They don’t get to say coach is always telling us what to do, but he never does it,” he said.

“Generally, I have done the workouts they are doing that morning or I am doing it with them.”

He said some of his team members have even joined him at races in Colonie.

“Jay Hebert went down with me. Jay Wells used to go with me all the time.”

This year, Thorne plans to compete in three more races in Colonie in July and August, having been to San Diego with a friend to run and also to see family.

“My brother lives there, and I had never gone to California to visit, so I stayed with him for three days, went to San Diego and ran, then stayed a couple more nights,” he said.

Thorne was victorious in the 100, 400 and 4-by-100, although there were some obstacles in his way.

“This was the first time I was on a track this year because we do not have one at the school, and it showed with my time,” Thorne said. “When I was there, we didn’t find out until the day of our event that our fourth guy had not put in for the relay, so we were given another guy who ran in 10 events that day. He was something.”

Thorne said, like his athletes, his goal is to continue to progress during the rest of the season and beat the clock as much as he can.

“My 400 goal is always to beat my age,” Thorne said.

Hancock House to celebrate 90th with July 16 event ‘Roaring Twenties’ gala to be held

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — A local landmark brought to the town by philanthropist Horace Moses is ready to celebrate nine decades of history and collections.

The Ticonderoga Historical Society will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Hancock House with a special gala, celebrating the decade in which Moses brought the house to Ticonderoga, “The Roaring Twenties.”

The gala will be held Saturday, July 16, starting with a chicken dinner at 6 p.m. and music, dancing and more starting at 7:30 p.m.

“Its’ a meaningful milestone for us because we have been here 90 years and we have been able to retain its original purpose Horace Moses wanted and make it a major regional resource for historical material,” said THS President Bill Dolback.

The Hancock House, modeled after the house of John Hancock which once stood near the statehouse in Boston, was one of many contributions Moses, the man who brought all three hospital areas to Ticonderoga, gave to the town where he was raised.

“He really brought a lot into the community and was very instrumental,” Dolback said. “Horace Moses was a native son of Ticonderoga, born on a farm, started as a clerk in a paper mill in Boston and worked his way up. He donated the hospital in 1908, the monument in 1924, the Hancock House in 1926 and the community building one year later. He also built the main building at the Essex County Fairgrounds where CCE is and donated to Green Mountain College. Gave away most of his money and his house was turned over to the Boy scouts for use as a camp.”

The current Hancock House hearkens back to the original.

“The house itself is quite unique,” said Dolback. “The stone from this house is from the same quarry as the original Hancock House. The original house was one of the first attempts to restore a historic house, although it was not successful there.

From measured drawings, it was reconstructed here in 1926.”

The Hancock House was the first permanent home of the New York State Historical Association before moving to Cooperstown.

When Cooperstown took everything away, the Historical Society stepped in,” Dolback said. “ We wanted to bring it back to the original contest of what Moses wanted it to be.

As the western entrance into the lower village, it is a grand entrance into our historic village and Horace wanted to have a grand entrance into the community.”

The Society got to work and, like with many of the house’s milestones, opened on a special date.

“We had our first opening in May of 1976, during the celebration of the nation’s Bicentennial,” Dolback said. “We have been here since, maintaining and increasing this collections, so we know have one of the finer collections in this area.”

Dolback said, along with furniture and artifacts dating back

to the dawn of the nations, there is also a research library with several thousand volumes, genealogical research capabilities and an extensive library of local newspapers.

Dolback said it is a love of history and wanting to see it continue in the next generation that keeps him working to find new ways and ideas to help bring history to life.

“Growing up, there was so much interest in community history and I think that has wained some,” he said. “It is our goal to keep that flame ignited and keep the spark going into new generations. We want to take the history that was relevant to Ticonderoga and the region and try to use world events and pull them together in today’s mindset.”

The Historical Society, which is actually older than the house, having been chartered in 1879 with the goal of bringing national attention to the then plight of Fort Ticonderoga, has been adding to the grounds with a all carriage house which will be used for exhibits and storage, along with a garden which links to an exhibit inside the house.

The 90th anniversary gala gained traction after last year, when the society hosted a USO-style show at the house to help celebrate the anniversary of the end of World War II. “The USO show ignited our interest in trying to transform the way we present history and using different forms and means,” he said.

At the gala event July 16, Burlington-based Hot Box Honey, who headlined the Hancock House’s 2015 USO Show, will perform, along with barbershop quartet The Elderly Brothers.

There will also be a costume contest, with cash prizes of $100 each for the best male and female representation of the 1920’s, 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.

Tickets and specific infor-

mation can be obtained by calling the Historical Society at 585-7868, or by e-mail to tihistory@bridgepoint1.com.

The Ticonderoga Historical Society is preparing for the 90th anniversary of the Hancock House, a replica of the John Hancock House which was located near the state capitol in Boston, Mass.

Third-grader wins big at Lake Champlain International Derby

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — It had been a quiet day on Lake Champlain, where Thomas Sucharzewski had spent the day fishing with his family.

But then he felt a tug on his line.

An epic battle ensued.

Sucharzewski battled the Atlantic salmon for 10 minutes before he managed to bring the fish aboard.

“It jumped out of the water four times and it was really tiring to get it in the boat,” Sucharzewski said. “The last time it jumped, it popped into the net.”

Sucharzewski hoped his catch was big enough to net a big prize at the Lake Champlain International, the competition that drew competitors from 30 states.

Tournament officials marveled when he triumphantly brought his capture back to the Indian Bay Marina for a weigh-in: At 29” and 9.6 pounds, the catch

netted him third place in the overall adult category, beating 5,200 other fisherman.

Not bad for a third-grader.

Sucharzewski, 7, comes from a proud fishing family.

Fishing is in the family’s blood, say his parents.

Thomas’ grandfather, an avid sportsman, entered an ice fishing derby in 1986 and landed the grand prize, a tagged trout worth $10,000.

He used the proceeds to start a business.

His parents, Allison and John, got Thomas started at 3.

At 5, Thomas scored his first big catch: a 34’’ catfish that weighed 11.5 pounds.

It was too big for him to carry.

Following Thomas’ catch last month, word spread like wildfire. Everybody wanted a picture with the pint-sized fisherman. And many conceded, while there was still one day remaining in the

tournament, Thomas’ catch couldn’t be beat.

Naturally, he notched first place in the tournament’s junior division coldwater category, walking away with two trophies and $1,200 and cash and prizes. At the awards ceremony, his picture even donned the posters, much to the surprise of his parents.

Big sister Ava also fared well, pulling in a 7.5 pound, 27” trout.

Thomas honed his skills with a 14’ aluminum boat, which he used to play around Willsboro Bay. A chief goal for Thomas in entering the tourney was to win himself a motor.

“He definitely achieved that,” John said. “We just have to get it for him.”

As far as the fish, it will be cut into steaks for a “festival of the giant salmon,” John said.

Despite his tremendous achievements, Thomas remains modest and humble: “I just like looking at the fish,” he said.

S

ome days when you read the newspaper, watch the evening news or just watch people and the way they act you just have to shake your head and wonder where we are going as a people and what do we value?

From this 62 year old’s chair we’ve gone way off the path of sanity and into the lane of, well something very different.

Our infatuation with political correctness and the departure from common sense seems to defy logic.

Our inability to solve the problems we all recognize are problems and allowing small political issues and who gets credit holds us back from taking any action of significance. It just boggles the mind and seems so childish.

The lack of true patriotism and respect for our nation and the rights we once held so dear is discouraging.

The lack of trust and the second guessing of our law enforcement and judicial system, hindering them from being the very best they can be to keep us safe from harm is just a shame.

The anger and what appears to be outright demonizing of those we disagree with has gone way over the top.

We’ve turned our backs on our religious institutions, failing to recognize the importance of a supreme being and giving thanks for the blessings we’ve been so fortunate to receive.

Political and corporate corruption, as well as manipulation by officials who believe they are above the law has run rampant.

Work ethic, loyalty, teamwork and pride in the work place and a “can-do attitude” is taking a back seat to cutting corners, coasting, getting by and “it’s good enough attitude.”

We seem to have lost the notion of courtesy, when people put themselves and their interests first, instead of politely offering to let others go ahead of them.

As stewards of this land I fear we are letting down our forefathers who sacrificed so much to provide for our well being and leaving future generation in a much worse shape.

Anyone of these changes is perhaps no major departure from the past but when put altogether it builds toward a future country that is more about me than us and this nation didn’t get here putting me first. It became the land of opportunity and envy of the world because of our ability to watch out for each other and recognize right from wrong.

New federal overtime regulations latest example of grievous government overreach

A

s the Trump vs. Clinton battle royale for the White House enters the summer stretch, it can be easy to overlook what the current administration is doing.

For President Obama, this includes tinkering with overtime pay.

Under a new regulation issued by the Labor Department in May, the eligibility requirements for time-and-a-half overtime pay have doubled.

By Dec. 1, salaried workers earning up to $47,476 per year must receive time-and-a-half overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours per week.

The previous cutoff was $23,660.

The new policy will affect 4.2 million workers, according to the Labor Department, and the salary threshold would be updated every three years to keep up with inflation.

At face value, this seems like a sensible idea: Why shouldn’t salaried workers get paid for working overtime?

But just like the state’s disastrous minimum wage policy, which was signed

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year, the policy is an unwarranted intrusion into the private sector, and one that will dramatically shift workplace culture.

Aside from being a classic example of a government run amok, the trucksized hole in this policy is that it will wreak havoc on industries with notoriously irregular hours like, say, the media industry.

Businesses are faced with a decision: Move those who fill management roles up, and place all others under the hourly paradigm.

Media agencies, including this one, pride themselves on relaying accurate, timely information to their readers. That includes covering long hours at nighttime meetings, weekend events, or whenever news breaks.

It’s an unpredictable business. Most professionals accept it… and even thrive on the long hours.

But shifting shoe-leather reporters to an hourly wage in preparation of the policy shift is leading to the creation of holes once those hourly allotments run out.

Moving salaried workers to hourly wages can also be demoralizing to those who argue that you can’t place a price on creativity.

Shoehorning an unpredictable industry where anything can happen is just plain wrong, and is another classic example of this president fundamentally transforming the fabric of this country, much like he did with the Affordable Care Act. The shift will also cause seismic shifts in recruiting young talent.

Creative industries — including public relations, advertising, marketing and the film biz — can be brutally competitive.

The ladder to success is often putting in long hours at internships.

While grueling, the experience accrued by shadowing professionals is invaluable.

But under this new policy, the culture of merit-based achievement is threatened, and opportunities for career advancement will be closed.

The same goes for the political sphere, where an internship is standard course for young graduates hungry for a career in public policy and the political trenches.

Like with the minimum wage and the ACA, opposing this policy is not a question of ideology, but rather of practicality and survival.

Smaller businesses and nonprofits may not be in positions to accommodate this increase by pushing salaried employees past that threshold, or simply paying the overtime.

It’s simply yet another unfunded mandate.

While these isolated Washington, D.C. policy wonks say the current system is abusive, we disagree — it’s their tinkering with the private sector that is the real threat.

We have no less than five political races vying for the attention of Hamilton County voters.

We have the presidential, the United States Senate, the United States Congressional, the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly races.

Candidates from all walks of life, including incumbents, are traveling our large county speaking with voters and asking for their votes.

Regardless of your political philosophy, there is much to investigate when considering how to cast your vote and for whom.

For the Hamilton County Republican Committee, it is a year that presents both personal philosophical challenges and more importantly, a responsibility to put forth candidates that have the best opportunity in our vast senate and assembly districts to win in November.

That responsibilities start with reviewing a list of potential candidates and interviewing each one personally.

In spite of what some candidate may be saying we have extended an invitation to every district wide candidate. Without allowing a candidate this opportunity to state their positions and qualifications we would be doing the voters a great disservice. I am pleased to say every candidate took advantage of this opportunity.

After the interviews comes the hardest part.

We must decide if we should endorse a candidate and if so who? For the presidential primary, the question was easy to answer: The primary took place very early in the political year. There is plenty of time to endorse and support the Republican nominee. The same holds true for the U.S. Senate and Congressional races. On the other hand, the New York State Senate and Assembly primaries take place in September, late in the political year.

The committee believes it was necessary to endorse a candidate well before the actual primary date. We have spent numerous hours sitting through interviews and even more hours deliberating on which candidate has the best qualifications to represent our county in Albany. The result is the endorsement of Assemblyman Marc Butler for Assembly and Assemblyman Jim Tedisco for NYS Senate.

Having made these tough decisions will allow us to arrange for many Meet The Candidate events throughout the summer season.

I encourage every voter regardless of party affiliation to attend these events and ask hard questions to each candidate.

After all, you are hiring this person to represent you in Albany for the coming years. We all want the person best qualified to traverse the political maze in Albany and bring effective legislation to our communities.

One last thought: Please remember voting is the one thing that makes us all equal, a constitutional privilege� Bill Murphy Chairman Hamilton County Republican Committee

PerfectÊ weather,Ê cars,Ê businessesÊ createÊ greatÊ festival To the Editor: The weather was perfect; the classic cars, from all over the two-state area, were amazing. The vendors were great and the friends and members of First Congregational Church had their game faces on. All of the above and the good graces of a gracious Creator helped to make this one of the best strawberry festivals yet.

The crowds were so great that we will admit to having underestimated our initial quantities, but we are grateful for the patience of our patrons as we worked to ensure that all who came to this year’s festival were pleased.

I want to stop and acknowledge our great sponsors and supporters for this year’s 2016 annual Strawberry Festival and Classic Car Show: CPTELCO and Bridgepoint Communications, Avery Energy, McDonalds of Ticonderoga, Air Barrier Solutions, Bodettes BBQ, Tony’s Ticonderoga Sports, G Stone Motors, Deneker Chevrolet, DeBro’s On the Way Cafe, Gunnisons Lakeside Orchard, Loreman’s, Tromblee’s Greenhouse, James Family Greenhouse, Koffee Cup Bakery, Stewarts, Pepsi, Mackenzie’s Classic Meats, Village Auto, and our friends at Crown Point Citgo.

Other supporters included Tori’s Hair, Buck Mountain Maple Syrup, Jumps for Joy bounce House, Relay for Life Team and Penelope the Clown.

Thank you all for helping to make this a fantastic family experience.

TrumpÊ aÊ Ô foul-mouthedÊ tyrantÕ To the Editor: After reading the July 2 opinion by John Sharkey of Ticonderoga I came away wondering if he was a new found prophet. Mr. Sharkey tells us Trump will be a “great president” and he does so using some of Trumps dialog. He believes those coming into our country “illegally” are bringing disease and criminal histories. Are we to believe those coming into our country legally don’t carry disease or have criminal histories?

I submit that right here in Ticonderoga we have people with criminal

histories who have lived here their entire lives. Disease is also a problem as those who use illegal drugs have passed them on to others.

When Americans think of “great presidents” we look back at what they have accomplished not what one would do if elected. Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR were “great presidents.” We as Americans have benefitted from what they accomplished while serving our country. Many others of both major political parties have records to be admired but none was a “great president” before serving.

Prophet Mr. Sharkey should take the time to read the history of these men and he will see that none of them declared bankruptcy as many times as Trump. He will also see that these were men of statue and statesmanship who did their best to keep America out of war unless absolutely necessary.

John Sharkey over the years has written many opinions about our military and going after other countries. I have to wonder as a veteran what branch of military service did he serve in? Those of us who served in time of conflict know the terrible cost of war and the scars one receives in his or her mind never heal. Trump who got himself deferments so he wouldn’t have to serve, touts how he as President would send our troops against whoever he chooses. Diplomacy to Trump is something that should not exist. Those who don’t care if their sons and daughters are sent into harms way at the whim of a hothead are only fooling themselves and will have a long time to mourn.

Trump’s view on world trade is a joke that isn’t funny. America needs trade partners as our world has changed. Ticonderoga has International Paper that employs many from the North Country. International Paper is exactly as its name implies, it is “International” and relies on trade partners like China and the rest of the world to keep its employees working. Perhaps Prophet Sharkey thinks America can go it alone in this economy or that Essex County is the center of the earth.

I have no idea how anyone could embrace a foul-mouthed tyrant like Trump and think he will be a “great president.” Sharkey’s tirade about Hillary Clinton’s 40 years of criminal history is just another outright lie but it fits with his way of twisting the truth. As Jesus said: “Let him who is without sin throw the first stone.”

RightÊ footÊ breakingÊ lawÊ needed To the Editor: Is there a right foot braking lobby and why should we care?

Yes there is and we should care because in the last 50 years it can be blamed for the deaths of 30,000 people, the life changing injuries to millions and the financial cost of billions and this is just in parking lots. Multiply a few times when you add in the roadways.

Who is in this lobby? Those in charge of driver legislation and training and most drivers of automatic transmission cars who have been indoctrinated to use only the right foot to operate both the gas pedal and the brake pedal, based on the scientific proof of, “my father and the driving instructor said it was the only way.”

NHTSA has published data indicating that right foot pedal errors cause about 18,000 parking lot crashes each year. The lobby blames it on women and the old drivers. They refuse to even consider that right foot braking on automatic cars is too complicated for the average driver, regardless of age or gender, especially in a moment of panic.

Please for the sake of the pedestrians, cyclists and especially the children, ask those in charge to commit to a scientific study comparing right foot braking with the Left Foot Braking Method (leftfootbraking.org), or other safe, Google-like methods of braking.

Medicaid Changes Proposal sacrifices cancer patients for cost savings Eric Hargis

Columnist

O

fficials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) recently proposed a major change to the way Medicare pays for advanced cancer medicines. Unfortunately, the changes threaten cancer patients’ access to lifesaving care.

Many people are familiar with Medicare Part D, which covers prescription drugs that beneficiaries purchase at pharmacies. Part B, however, is less well known. It covers drugs for illnesses such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and immune diseases that are administered at clinics or outpatient hospitals.

CMMI believes doctors prescribe expensive drugs, rather than clinically appropriate drugs, because under Part B doctors receive a percentage of the drug’s price to cover the cost of administering it. While there is no evidence doctors prescribe the wrong drug so they make more money, CMMI nevertheless proposes to “fix” this supposed problem by altering physicians’ reimbursements.

Doctors who administer a drug under Part B were traditionally reimbursed the average sales price of the medicine plus 6 percent. Following budget cuts in 2013, Medicare officials reduced that rate to about 4.3 percent.

Now, they’re proposing to cut it to 2.5 percent, but add a flat fee of around $17 each time doctors administer a medicine.

CMMI ignores the impact this change will have on patients.

Smaller community practices and those in rural communities will drop patients that lack supplemental insurance or send them to major hospitals for treatment; this occurred in 2013 with the “sequestration” budget cuts. CMMI’s latest cuts will force more providers to turn away patients.

And if making patients potentially drive hundreds of miles each week for chemotherapy wasn’t enough, CMMI proposes to test a host of “value-based care models.” For example, in one model officials would compare a drug’s average life expectancy gains to its cost. If the drug doesn’t meet an arbitrary dollars-to-days ratio, it’s considered a bad bargain for the Medicare.

The health of tens of millions of Americans hangs in the balance.

Men have a fifty-fifty chance of developing cancer in their lifetimes; for women it is one in three.

Americans must ask themselves: when they or their loved ones develop cancer, do they want to receive the treatment their doctors say will provide the best chance of survival and quality of life? Or do they want to receive only the medicines that government officials deem costeffective?

Patient health is not something to be toyed with. It’s time for the government officials who tinker with reimbursement formulas to realize that their fiddling has consequences for real people.

New child care center for September launch date

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

LEWIS — A new child care center in Lewis is now accepting applications.

The joint project between Adirondack Community Action Programs and the town of Lewis will provide care for 19 children at the former H&R Block location on Route 9.

Spaces for about a dozen infants and toddlers will later be phased into the program following the completion of building modifications.

Surveys sent out through the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District and county social services department revealed affordable and reliable child care is a major pinch point around the region, said ACAP Program Director Marge Zmijewski and Lewis Supervisor James Monty.

Private care can be unaffordable for working parents, who also often engage in logistical gymnastics to find providers across the remote region — like the woman, said Zmijewski, who drives from Moriah to Peru and back daily to drop her child off at daycare.

New state restrictions have further dented the industry by increasing start-up costs for prospective new providers.

At $1,200, the fees are often prohibitively expensive, Zmijewski said.

Providers are also aging out of the system. Lewis lost two in the past year, a major blow to the small community of 1,400 year-round residents.

Sustainability is also an issue.

Nonprofit providers rely on a patchwork series of state and federal grants to fund their programs.

Those highly-competitive grants mean programs lurch from year to year uncertain of their funding.

That anxiety is reflected on the parents.

“You can’t expect parents to go to work and worry about their children,” Zmijewski said.

As a result, many women often choose to stay home instead of navigating this terrain, she said.

ALL PARENTS WELCOME The new center in Lewis is not grant-funded, but rather seeded with start-up capital from the Cloudsplitter Foundation, the Charles C. Wood Foundation and the United Way. The goal, said Monty, is to eventually have the program become self-sufficient.

The town of Lewis offered the agency use of the building, which housed a Head Start program until January 2016 when it was integrated with ELCS’s full-day pre-K program.

ACAP is now taking applications for the new center, located in the bright and airy town-owned building with an enclosed backyard.

Registration is open to parents everywhere.

“We’re targeting anyone in Essex County who needs child care,” Zmijewski said.

Monty, who sits on the ACAP board, noted people come from all over the county to work in Elizabethtown and Lewis.

Providing the service is also critical to sustaining the local economy.

Zmijewski said she regularly fields calls from outside companies scouting out the county for possible opportunities.

Top priorities on their lists are quality day care programs and healthy school districts.

“If they bring their business to the county, what do we have to offer them?” Zmijewski said. “They’re not going to relocate if there is no services.”

The local business community, too, needs to do more to offer their employees that option, Zmijewski said. And in order to be successful, this new program requires significant buy-in from the public.

ACAP hopes that the unconventional hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. will add an additional incentive for parents to utilize the program, which is slated to cost $125 per week, a fee the organization determined was on the average end of the spectrum, said Zmijewski.

Planned shared services, including a partnership with Early Head Start, will ideally keep costs low for families, Zmijewski said.

Parents should also reach out to their county’s department of social services to determine if they are eligible for childcare subsidies, Zmijewski said.

ACAP is currently reviewing employment applications ahead of the proposed September launch date.

Monty said the center will be staffed with nothing but the best people.

“You’re not going to find a better group of people,” he said.

For an enrollment application, contact Marge Zmijewski at 873-3207.

$20,000 raised in Kiwanis Scholarship Golf Tourney TICONDEROGA — On June 11, 52 golfers, including six students from the Ticonderoga High School’s golf team, met at the Ti Country Club to brave the rain and participate in the annual Kiwanis Scholarship Golf Tournament. The tournament was the culminating event of the program to raise money for the Kiwanis Scholarship Fund.

Through the club’s campaign to solicit sponsors from businesses and individuals for the tournament, over $20,000 was raised to provide scholarships to students from the Ticonderoga and Crown Point school districts. This year was highlighted by the generosity of several anonymous contributors.

Following the tournament dinner Chairman Graham Bailey welcomed all and thanked the participants, sponsors and Kiwanis members who made this year’s success possible.

Superintendent, John McDonald, Jr. described the impact this annual tournament has had on the school districts and on the many individuals who have benefitted from the scholarships. Tournament prizes were awarded by Club pro, George Mackey.

Helmets now required for horseback riders at fair events New policy comes as county task force conducting comprehensive review of countyowned facility

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — Horseback riders will now be required to wear helmets at all events sponsored by the Essex County Agricultural Society, the group tasked with running the county fairgrounds.

The measure unanimously passed the fair board last month.

A lack of protective headgear is the top cause of serious and fatal accidents in horseback riding, said Shaun Gillilland, the head of the county-appointed fairgrounds task force.

Gillilland said it was important for the Essex County Agricultural Society to take leadership on the issue, and to set an example for children under 14, who are already required to wear helmets.

Some unsupervised young riders are failing to do so, Gillilland said.

Furthermore, he said, participants in motorsports, including the demolition derby, have also long been required to wear protective headgear.

While the policy stops short of requiring all equestrians to utilize headgear, Gillilland said hopes the county will consider passing such legislation in the future.

The measure has drawn concern from those who worry it will dissuade Western-style riders from participating at future exhibition events, including next month’s annual fair.

But Gillilland said the industry has adapted to the more stringent safety standards, including the invention of helmets that look like cowboy hats.

In the event of an accident, Essex County would be liable for any injuries sustained onsite.

“We hope the riders who do Western events will understand this is for everyone’s safety and give examples to younger people,” Gillilland said.

TOTAL OVERHAUL The helmet policy is just the latest in a series of fastmoving changes sweeping the facility since the creation of a task force last year designed to conduct a comprehensive overview of the property, which officials have said is long overdue.

County officials conducted an extensive walkthrough of the facility earlier this spring.

The tour revealed a number of organizational issues, including the status of the buildings that have been constructed over the years.

Without lease or ownership agreements, the ad hoc buildings exist in a state of

limbo. Due to ambiguity over jurisdiction, many hadn’t been subjected to a codes enforcement inspection in years.

At least one, the Midway Diner, has been declared structurally unsound and was torn down last month.

But despite its condition — the wooden structure was marred by warped and uneven floors, gaping holes and a general sense of precarious ricketiness — the building remained open, serving fair patrons as recently as last year.

“I couldn’t believe [the state] Department of Health let it open last year,” said Mike Mascarenas, deputy county manager, at a task force meeting in April.

The owner, should he wish to rebuild, said Gillilland, has been offered financing incentives and a 10-year lease (subject to board of su-

pervisors approval).

Ownership disputes remain unsettled for at least three additional buildings.

But, said Gillilland at the task force meeting, documentation “either by contract or by deed or easement” is non-existent for any of those structures — even those constructed by private parties.

“Nothing on these fairgrounds is owned by anybody except for the county,” Gillilland said.

The task force also determined the county’s insurance requirements were too stringent, leading to an underuse of the facility by outside vendors.

Smaller vendors and event organizers had been frozen out due to the high insurance costs.

“I think we’re probably a little too extreme and that’s

been part of the problem with renting the facility is we’re asking for an awful lot,” Mascarenas said.

To combat these and other issues, the task force has been tasked with creating a baselevel blueprint for whipping the facility into shape.

This includes a complete rewrite of contracts, determining rental use structures and the creation of an administrative policy to govern the facility.

The goal, said Gillilland, is to create an “equitable foundation” for tenants moving forward.

Gates to control illegal dumping and storage have been installed, and the task force is considering the installation of security cameras.

Myriad issues smaller remain. The electrical network, a system that currently sees all buildings included

on a single electrical bill, needs to be untangled, for instance. And then there is the possible conflict with a county-employee who leases campground space on the property, a measure approved by lawmakers last year.

The county employee has the licensure, but the facility is now privately operated.

County officials admit the process is messy. But Gillilland said he hopes the fairgrounds can be transformed into an asset, one that is not only regularly used by the county, but also one of which they can be proud.

The Essex County Fair was once the social event of the year, said the lawmaker, “and it still is for a lot of people.”

ABOVE: Horseback riders will now be required to wear helmets at all events sponsored by the Essex County Fair. The policy comes as part of a comprehensive series

of changes designed to assess the county-owned facility.

EYE ON THE ARTS

In full swing

W

ith summer in full swing, there is a seemingly endless variety of events happening around the region this week. There are exhibit openings, concerts, classes, and more. Here are a few of our favorites.

Annie Baker’s “Body Awareness,” starring Martha Swan, Lia Loomis, Dennis Goodnough and Terry Young, will show at the Upper Jay Art Center from July 7-10 and 14-17. “Body Awareness” is what Time Out New Yorks calls “an astonishingly complex web of emotions and ideas ... a smart, modest work about ordinary, flawed people, grasping for connection.” Tickets are $18 per person. Reservations are recommended. Showtime on each date is at 8 p.m. For more information, call 946-8315.

The Adirondack Art Association in Essex will spotlight an exhibit by watercolorist Ann Pember from July 1 to Aug. 2. Pember is renowned for her exquisite watercolor paintings of flowers, rushing rivers, and wooded landscapes. She has been presented in more than 245 national juried exhibitions, her paintings have won more than 60 awards and her work has been featured in more than 40 books and publications, including six of the popular “Splash” books by North Light Books. The exhibition, which will feature a room dedicated to Pember’s artworks along with a group show of works by Art Association members, will be open for viewing during normal gallery hours. For more information, visit adirondackartassociation.com or call 963-8309.

“Soundwaves,” a summer concert series on the shores of Lake Champlain, will bring a new performer to Ballard Park in Westport every Thursday until Aug. 11. North Country resident and veteran Jazz trumpeter Taylor Haskins and his wife Catherine founded “Soundwaves” in 2014, after accepting roles as volunteer organizers of the Westport Community Concert Series. This summer Taylor has curated a program of six performances by internationally renowned artists with diverse styles and instrumentation. On July 14, Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Richard Julian will perform. The following Thursday, Vermont’s Robinson Morse will bring his eclectic brand of instrumental soul music. For more information, contact soundwaveswestport@gmail.com or visit the Soundwaves page on Facebook.

The Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh will offer free concerts every Wednesday this month beginning on July 13. Sponsored by the Plattsburgh Rotary Club and the Sunrise Rotary Club, these free concerts will offer outdoor entertainment with a little something for everyone. The Duo, otherwise known as Neil Wright and Johnny Seiden, will kick off the series at 5:30 p.m. on July 13. For more information, contact the Strand at 563-1604.

Sunita Staneslow will perform at the Keene Valley Congregational Church on July 16. Named one of the top 10 Jewish instrumentalists by Moment Magazine, Staneslow received the 1998 McKnight Foundation Fellowship in recognition of her work with Jewish music. Staneslow has performed in venues all over the globe. She is a popular performer and instructor at many major North American harp festivals.

In addition to the concert, she will give a workshop and master class for harpists of all levels on July 16 at 3 p.m. The concert itself will begin at 8 p.m. A $10 donation is suggested. For more information, contact Peter Slocum at 708-5607.

The second annual Infinity Con will be held at the Forum in Lake George on July 9-10. Confirmed guests so far include Ming Chen and Michael Zapcic from AMC’s hit TV show “Comic Book Men,” and Walter Jone, Karen Ashley, and David Yost from The Power Rangers.

ning will celebrate the 90th birthday of the Hancock House, complete with historically accurate dress and atmosphere.

“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.”

Hot Box Honey is a Burlington-based 8-piece band lead by Jane Evans and guitarist Gregory Evans. 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. Judges will be looking for accuracy in fabric choices, accessories and presentation. Tickets for the 90th birthday gala are $8 each or 2 for $15. The picnic chicken supper, provided by the Hot Biscuit Diner, will be $12 and pre-orders will be required. For more information, call the Historical Society at 585-7868 or contact tihistory@bridgepoint1.com.

The 190 Grille & Cinema in Glens Falls will host the local hit series “Sunset Indie Sessions” every Tuesday during the month of July.

The events will host some of the area’s best musicians playing their original music. The lineup will vary each week. For more information, contact the 190 Grille at 743-9622.

The Au Sable River Valley Studio Tour will return for its second year on July 16-17. The tour includes over twenty-five artist studios and art spaces that feature a wide range of works by artists living and working in Keene Valley, Keene, Upper Jay, Jay, Wilmington and Au Sable Forks. Studios and art spaces will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. An opening reception will be held on July 15 from 6-9 p.m. at the Jay House on Randy’s Lane. This opening celebration will be held in conjunction with the opening of Norte Maar’s 3rd Annual Jay Invitational of Clay that includes a regional exhibition of ceramics and a weekend of programs and demonstrations in clay.

CROWN POINT

Docks << Continued from | p. 1

ADA-compliant.

Once the plan is completed, the department of state must sign off, standard practice for a grant budget amendment.

Following the project’s approval, Essex County will bid it out.

“It’s going to be a nextyear installation project,” said Ryan Davies, the engineer.

The current phase of the project comes with a $26,500 price tag. Repurposed grant funds will cover $18,000, while Crown Point will kick in $8,500 through in-kind services, which will likely be labor costs, materials and equipment.

“It’s absolutely going to happen, and I understand timing can be an issue for folks,” said Mike Mascarenas, the community resources director who helped the town secure the grant. “Everyone is doing the best they can to address the problem.”

The lack of docks has frustrated Peter Mele, a Crown Point resident who rents space each summer to park his 25’ boat.

“Where is all the money going that they got in this grant?” Mele said. “It’s absolutely squandered, the job was a total disaster.”

While the marina remains open and boat launch access is available — several vehicles were seen last week using a ramp to put their

boats in the lake— Mele said he prefers to dock his boat instead of pulling the vessel in and out of the water each day.

At present, he is continuing to search for a suitable location at the southern end of the lake.

“It’s a great potential facility,” Mele said. “It just infuriated me when I realized it had happened.”

Harrington acknowledged the process is difficult. “But I do believe we’re doing it the right way,” he said.

But, the supervisor said, “if that gentleman would like to come and provide some assistance, he can certainly do that.”

MORIAH

Archie Rosenquist passed away, unexpectedly, June 24. Rosenquist was a regular volunteer at the Iron Center Museum, talking to many about his days working in the local mines.

Archie << Continued from | p. 1

People would come to the diner and ask questions about the history of Moriah and its iron ore mining industry, Foote said.

“We’d say ‘talk to Archie.’ He always knew.

He was the go-to guy if you wanted to know the history of the mines. He was a great storyteller.”

Rosenquist volunteered as a guide at the Iron Center Museum in Port Henry, and as a greeter for the Amtrak passenger trains arriving at the Port Henry Train Station every day.

Rosenquist often ate lunch at the Moriah Senior Center located in the Train Station, where he was friends with former Port Henry village mayor Ruth McDonough and many others who eat there daily.

“He was such a dear friend,” McDonough said. “I really, really am going to miss him. He was a wealth of knowledge and vast experience in his life. I valued his friendship.”

Foote said he had many philosophical discussions with Rosenquist at the diner.

“He was very forward thinking. He’d lived through World War II, and he could see some modern parallels in rhetoric of political candidates.”

In 2015, Rosenquist gave an interview to the Sun in which he talked about mining. He was a third-generation miner.

“My father came here for work, and I ended up working in the mines from 1951 until 1968,” he said in the interview. “It was

like any other factory job, to me. You came to work, clocked in for your shift, and went through your day.”

The mines closed in 1971, but Rosenquist said he saw the end coming and left in 1968.

Rosenquist was born March 13, 1929, and died June 24, 2016.

Born in Monte Vista, Colo., he and his family moved to Moriah when he was 12 years old.

Rosenquist graduated from Port Henry High School in 1947, and the New York State Forest Ranger School in 1949.

He married Yvonne Bonnie O’Neil on Aug. 28, 1948 in Port Henry; she passed away June 6, 2005, after 57 years of marriage. They had three children: Bronwyn, David and Dawn, who survive.

Rosenquist’s career in the iron mines included assistant mining engineer, surveying, construction, hoist operator, and industrial safety officer.

McDonough said Rosenquist was a very valuable member of the community, their senior citizens group and the Moriah Historical Society.

“He was willing to help anybody that needed information. He knew more about the mining and the mining industry than anyone around here.”

A graveside memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 8, at the South Moriah Cemetery, followed by a reception at the Port Henry Senior Center at the Train Station.

Dissolution plan ‘the best for town and village’ Supervisor, Deputy Mayor speak about who plan came into place, what happens next

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — The Supervisor and Deputy Mayor here want to make sure people do not think the plan to potentially dissolve the village of Port Henry was not taken lightly.

Plan details The clerk position would be added to the town as a full time Clerk/Accountant Clerk, while the treasurer position would not be hired by the town.

The services of code enforcement, community environment, street maintenance, highway, buildings and grounds, sidewalk, street lighting, snow removal, recreation — including the campsite — and culture would be absorbed by the town.

The most debated service has been sanitation services, which Scozzafava said would not be continued by the town because they would not be able to do town-wide garbage pick-up services for residents.

Debt services would be picked up by only residents of the village, which accounts would end once all debts from the villages’ operation were pair off.

As far as the future of the village-run Port Henry Fire Department, the town and village will create a joint town/village district, which will cover the entirety of the town. The village and town would then work together to appoint a board of commissioners, which would oversee a starting budget of $127,000. The commissioners would become an elected position as the original commissioners ended their respective terms.

Current employees of the village’s Department of Public Works would be dissolved into the town’s highway department, working in several positions.

‘As good as it gets’ “I personally do not see how this plan could be any better than what we were able to come up with,” said Port Henry Deputy Mayor Matt Brassard, who worked alongside Supervisor Tom Scozzafava to draft the dissolution plan which will now come before village voters Tuesday, Aug. 16.

“The main focus to me was to make sure everyone working for the village still had a job,” Brassard continued. “I think the vote will be almost identical to last time [the vote to dissolve the village]. When you are educated and realize what you are voting on, you make a choice on what you feel is the best option.”

“If I didn’t feel in my heart this plan was not in the best interests of the town of Moriah as a whole, inside and outside of the village, I would not have endorsed it and we’d be back to the drawing board,” Scozzafava said. “Matt and I sat down and there was no politics. We only looked at what would be best for the constituents if we dissolved the village.”

“We took in the best interests of every department and talked to every department head in the village and the town,” Brassard said. “The goal was, if we do dissolve, what was the easiest way to make a seamless transition. If we dissolve March 31 and there is a water break the next day, it will be fixed just like it always has been.”

Scozzafava added he felt the plan would benefit both current outside the village residents as well as inside the village.

“You will not see a huge change in services,” Scozzafava said. “Yes, there will not be garbage pick up, but you will see all the other services and you will see a tax decrease and you are not going to see an increase outside the village.”

Too personal

Both Scozzafava and Brassard said their main concern throughout the process has been the personal reactions to the plan against them.

“When I try to present the facts of this plan, I get beat up because people don’t want to hear some of it,” Scozzafava said, “When we sat down to do the plan, we knew people had their minds made up. People who want to dissolve were not going to change their minds. People who want to keep the village were not going to change their minds. It’s good to have conversation, for government to take criticism and listen to the voice of the people. When it drops down to a personal level, though, that’s when it gets bad.”

“We could have had the plan gold-plated and it would not have made a difference,” Brassard said. “We can say 100-percent accurate stuff, and we still will get vilified. The personal nature of that has been what bothers me.”

‘Non-binding’ One of the biggest protests of the Dissolution Plan is the plan is not a binding document between the town and village boards. Scozzafava said he is committed to abiding by the document, and believes the town board members will do the same.

“The bottom line is you elect these representatives on the board to represent you,” Scozzafava said. “They have already been representing the people of the village. If they do not follow this plan, they will not be in office long.”

“The only reason this is non-binding is because one government cannot tell another what to do,” Brassard said. “This plan was made between us to have everyone’s best interests in place if we were to dissolve.”

The vote to accept or reject the Port Henry Dissolution Plan will take place Aug. 16 from noon until 9 p.m. at the Port Henry Volunteer Fire Department.

SCHROON

If you build it... Foote earns Eagle for diamond work

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — Joseph Foote decided to use his Eagle Scout project to give back to the youth of the Schroon Lake community and the organization who has chartered his troop for many years.

Foote, who graduated Saturday from Schroon Lake Central, recently received the news that he will be advanced to the rank of Eagle, the highest in Boy Scouting, based on his accomplishments with Troop 37 along with service to the community.

As part of that service, Foote had to complete an Eagle Scout project to benefit his community. His choice was to renovate the Little League baseball field at the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club, which has been the chartering sponsor of Troop 37 for a number of years.

“This was my goal from the beginning when I started out as a Scout,” Foote said.

“After attaining the first rank, I was able to see it wasn’t something that was impossible to achieve.”

When it came to his Eagle Project, Foote said he drew from personal experience.

“When the time came for my project, I had played on the Little League field in its previ-

ous state,” he said. “I talked to the board of the fish and game club and they thought it was great and they let me do the project. It

was a great chance to give back to the even more to the club.”

Foote said it took a lot of donations and a

lot of work to accomplish the project, “In the end, it came out to around $4,000 for the whole project, and donations were a big part,” Foote said, adding he received numerous community and business donations, including from a company in Ohio.

“We then had probably six or seven work days, with four real intense work days and a couple days when it was just my dad and brother doing some small things.”

Once the project was completed, Foote had to submit his project and Scouting accomplishments to a board of review, who then sent it on for national review before returning a decision.

“After my board, it was kind of a relief,” he said. “It was a sense of pride I was able to accomplish it. There was a period coming out of last winter it did not seem like it may happen but it all came together in the summer and I finished it in the fall.”

Foote is the second Eagle Scout from Troop 37 this year, as TJ Garcia also completed his project at the North Hudson Veteran’s Memorial and is awaiting word from the national board for approval.

The Court of Honor for Foote will take place at the Fish and Game Club Aug. 13, right before he heads to Clarkson University to study electrical and computer engineering.

Broadband plan taking shape in North Hudson Homes may be wired as part of ongoing Schroon project

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — It’s one of the most remote areas of the state, a vast tract of mostly unpopulated Forest Preserve, where river otters and other woodland critters are more likely to be seen than people.

But a project to provide the town with high-speed broadband is in its nascent stages.

North Hudson is included in the ongoing $2.3 million project by Slic Network Solutions to provide the service to underserved residents in Schroon, most of whom rely on phone and satellite service, which doesn’t function well in the dense forest canopy.

Last month, Mark Cornett, a Slic vice president, scouted out homes along Route 9 in North Hudson, up side streets, unpaved paths and across one-lane bridges.

Using a company-provided map, Cornett and Ron Moore, the town supervisor, eventually identified 26 homes in a twomile stretch that can potentially be included in the current

project if Slic comes in under budget in neighboring Schroon — including seasonal camps and Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park, which has been calling for the service for three years, according to Moore.

But if the funds aren’t available, Slic can potentially include these homes in a future grant application, Cornett said.

At present, it’s unclear how many homes will definitively be included in the current round of funding.

North Hudson hosts 240 full-time residents, a number that might reach 400 in the summer.

“It’s a little sparse,” Moore said.

Cornett briefed the town board last month on progress and managing expectations.

In short: Don’t expect blazing-fast internet any time soon.

But they’re working on it.

Once investment funding is secured, Slic must execute a franchise agreement with the town, a process that requires several public hearings and meetings, as well as a board resolution.

After those hoops have been cleared, Slic will make a submission to the state Public Service Commission to execute an agreement.

Slic, based in Nicholville, was awarded $14 million in state

grant funding through the Connect NY Broadband Program in 2013.

The project has been marked by delays, including in neighboring Schroon Lake, where residents continue to be frustrated at the perceived lack of progress.

Slic is continuing to await closing on a large investment round to get the projects moving.

“We’re still finalizing paperwork, but funding is imminent,” Cornett said on Sunday.

Like in Schroon, progress cannot move forward in North Hudson until that financing is secured.

Cornett said new management at the state’s Broadband Program Office had expedited the reimbursement progress, which had also hamstrung process until recently.

In order for Slic to install fiber optic cable, competing utility companies must clear space on their poles, a process known as “make-ready.”

But to do so, Slic must first cut them a check.

Once paid, Time Warner, Verizon and National Grid are bound by state Public Service Commission guidelines to move expediently. >> See BROADBAND | pg. 21

Broadband << Continued from | p. 19

Cornett declined to set a firm timeline owing to a number of variables, including pole density and availability of construction crews.

“We don’t know how long make-ready will take,” Cornett said. “Saying a year from now is not being overly optimistic.”

The average for federal projects was seven months, he said.

After Slic works with their competitors on taking inventory, work will begin. Slic will then follow behind those companies as they shift equipment on the poles.

“Once that’s done, boy, we go pretty fast,” Cornett said.

Slic also has their fingers crossed that they will receive an additional round of grant funding through the New NY Broadband Program,

the $1 billion state initiative that aims to connect every home in the state with high-speed broadband by 2019.

The first phase of the process saw providers bid on underserved census blocks, many of them in Hamilton County.

Applications were due April 15. Subsequent rounds of funding will be announced throughout the year, according to the governor’s office.

“We’re waiting to hear if we’re going to get that,” Cornett said.

Cornett said Slic aims to stitch together as many feasible projects as possible for this application. As the Time Warner-Charter merger nears a resolution, Cornett said he expects more census blocks to be made available for bidding.

Specifics aren’t known at this time, he said.

“We will continue to apply for future grants as the opportunities present themselves,” Cor-

nett said.

Grants do not have to cover massive areas, Cornett said, and do not need to be contiguous.

When the New NY Broadband Program was rolled out in January 2015, the state required private sector companies to match state investment. But that one-to-one matching has been eliminated because the economics don’t work in these remote areas, Cornett said.

Companies will now be required to put up more than 50 percent of the funding in these areas.

And while 100 megabytes per second was the state’s initial goal, that threshold has been reduced to 25 mbps, which is enough for streaming.

“When we talk about stream, we have to go outside at look at one — we don’t have that ability at my house,” said Maureen Marsden, a town board member.

Slic Network Solutions is working with North Hudson to identify homes that can be stitched together in a future broadband grant application. Pictured above: Vice President Mark Cornett examines a map of North Hudson residences with Ron Moore, the town supervisor.

AFS celebrates new digital projection at Strand Theatre

SCHROON — In celebration of the Strand Theatre’s recent acquisition of digital film-projection equipment, the Adirondack Film Society (AFS), which was the nonprofit conduit for New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) grant funding of the upgrade, is presenting a series of special screening programs in partnership with the Strand.

First up Saturday, July 16—in digital cinema package (DCP) format—is the madcap comedy, “A Night at the Opera,” starring the inimitable Marx Brothers in one of their funniest movies and one of the truly great comic movies of all time. Then on July 17, the AFS will screen one of the greatest films ever made—the Depression-era comedydrama classic, “Sullivan’s Travels,” written and directed by Hollywood wunderkind Preston Sturges, which itself is a love letter to the art of movie-making and which served as a partial inspiration for the Coen Brothers’ 2000s classic, “O Brother, Where Art Thou.”

Saturday, Aug. 13 and Aug. 14, brings an entirely different flavor to the Strand’s big (and brand-new) screen with the world premiere of “The Night We Met,” an independent feature directed and co-written by Albany-area-based filmmaker Jon Russell Cring and shot in and around Schroon Lake—about the kind of unforgettable night shared by two young lovers that we’ve all had or wished we had at least once in our youth.

Meet the Author and the Filmmakers

Introducing North Country filmgoers to filmmakers and other industry professionals—typically, in small, intimate, up-close-and-personal settings—is one of the chief calling cards of the Adirondack Film Society, the people who have brought area movie buffs the highly celebrated Lake Placid Film Forum on an annual basis most years since 2000. The “AFS Easy Screening Series at the Strand” is no different.

In August, director Cring will be on hand at the Strand, along with his wife Tracy Cring—who served as the film’s co-writer, director of photography and editor—to introduce their film and answer questions about the thrills and travails of indy filmmaking in the Adirondack North Country after each screening. And serving as emcee for the premier collaboration between the movie theater and the AFS in July is author and lecturer John DiLeo, whose books include “And You Thought You Knew Classic Movies” and “100 Great Film Performances You Should Remember But Probably Don’t.” Mr. DiLeo will introduce each film and lead a Q&A session following each screening. As an added bonus, on each evening of the weekend prior to the film screening that night, Mr. DiLeo will present an informal 45-to-50-minute program of memorable film clips and movie-lore tidbits on a theme.

On July 16, “Bloopers, Secrets, and Surprises from Hollywood’s Golden Age,” which will set the stage for the hilarity to come with Groucho, Chico and Harpo in “A Night at the Opera.” On Sunday the 17th, John DiLeo shifts the

focus from outtakes to outstanding but underappreciated screen appearances by some of Hollywood’s shiniest starts with “Great Film Performances You Should Remember But Probably Don’t,” adapted from his book of the same name.

The festivities begin each evening at 6:15 p.m., with a reception, followed by Mr. DiLeo’s movie clips-and-anecdotes program at 7 p.m., and the film at 8 p.m., capped off by the Q&A. Admission to each evening’s program is $10 per person; tickets are available for advance purchase during the day at the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce and in the evening at the Strand, as well as at the door on the evening of each screening. For more information, call the AFS at 588-7275 or visit adirondackfilmsociety.org.

Beach to close for day PORT HENRY — The Village of Port Henry Beach will be closed Saturday, July 9. It will re-open Sunday, July 10, at 10 a.m.

Town to flush hydrants PORT HENRY — The Village of Port Henry will be flushing fire hydrants Monday, July 18 through July 22.

Call the village office with any questions or concerns at 546-9933.

MoriahÊ trioÊ takesÊ toÊ theÊ DevilÕ sÊ BowlÊ track

McKiernan’s, Salerno turning laps, improving times in Renegade series

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

MORIAH CORNERS — At the end of the night, all three cars showed the wear and tear associated with a 20-lap feature on the halfmile Devil’s Bowl Speedway.

The 52 car had the telltale circular mark which could only be made by a rubbing tire against the side of the car, along with rubber marks down the length of its side after a multiple lap race for position and damage to the hood.

The 58 car had the same, but just small rubber marks, no full circle that comes when the tire makes contact in the same place over a prolonged period of time.

The 55, however, may have had it the worst, as the hood had to be taped into place along with remnants from the hard racing which had just taken place.

All in a nights work for the father-son team of Jim and Austin McKiernan of Moriah Corners, part of a three-car team along with Mineville’s Tony Salerno.

At the end of the night, Jim was unable to repeat his first-place performance of one week ago, as the three-time track winner this season placed fourth, followed by Austin, who dropped from a third place finish one week ago to sixth.

However, Salerno turned in the top performance for the team July 2, placing third, his best so far.

Part II: From the backfield to the battlefield

Ti graduate putting leadership skills to the ultimate test

By Jason Hughes

news@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — For most graduates the summer after graduation is usually a final few months of leisure before the responsibilities of adulthood kick in. In the fall, most will be off to college, entering the workforce or perhaps military service.

Ticonderoga Central graduate Brody Rocque’s summer vacation lasted less than 48 hours.

After a Saturday morning ceremony at Ticonderoga High School, Rocque’s graduation party doubled as a going away and at 6 a.m. on Monday, Cadet Rocque reported for duty as the class of 2020 began their Cadet Basic Training and summer indoctrination at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. Being accepted at West Point was no small feat for Rocque.

Just 13 percent of applicants get accepted. It started with an appointment from New York’s 21st Congressional District Representative Elise Stefanik. Recognizing the potential in Rocque after a grueling application and interview process, the Republican Congresswoman awarded him a rare Dual Nomination, and not only gave him the appointment to West Point, but to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland as well.

But the United States Army is a bit of tradition in the Rocque family.

“I live in a family surrounded by Army. My father was in the Army, two of my uncles were in the Army, I have a cousin who went to West Point,” Rocque said. “I actually visited her down there, I went to her R-Day (Receiving Day, the day Cadets first arrive), that kind of got my interest going.”

While his life at West Point will be grueling with a nonstop schedule of training, academics and mandatory athletics, Rocque has worked hard over the last four years building the skills he will need to ensure his success. Playing three sports throughout his high school career has made a huge impact on him. Discipline, leadership, and facing and overcoming adversity are all things he is familiar with.

Most are familiar with Ticonderoga’s 2015 run to the football state championship game and their thrilling yet heartbreaking loss to Tioga.

For Rocque it started way before that and the 2014 loss to Cambridge in the Class D football regionals his junior season.

After starting quarterback Garrison Hughes went down with an injury, Rocque took over and helped lead a comeback that fell just short. The bitterness of that defeat motivated Rocque as well as fellow Seniors Ryan Trudeau and Chase Dixon.

“We were very confident going into our senior season,” said Rocque. “We had watched a lot of film, we knew we had a great group of returning players and younger players who were going to make big contributions. But mostly it was the work we put in during the summer.”

Starting after Memorial Day, Rocque and a many of his teammates woke at 5 a.m. to do strength and conditioning training with Gary Gray of Moriah. This went on all summer and through the start of the football season.

“We knew we were going to have a good team and be competitive, but those extra workouts is what I feel really put us over the top and made the difference for us,” Rocque said.

Entering his senior season, Rocque had anticipated being the starting quarterback, but the emergence of sophomore Evan Graney created a competition. The decision was made by coaches to start Graney at the quarterback position and Rocque was moved to running back, a position he had never played before.

“At first I was a little bitter, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t. But I wanted to win, and that experience taught me a lot about battling adversity and being a better teammate,” Rocque said.

The transition to running back paid off for Rocque and the Sentinels. He rushed for 1,340 yards and 19 touchdowns earning him CVAC Player of the Year and First Team All-State honors.

“It was all very humbling,” Rocque said. “It could have very easily been Moriah. Adam Jaquish, Taylor Slattery, Noah Gilbo, those guys had a great team. We were very fortunate to get by them in the Sectional Final game.”

Ticonderoga had defeated Moriah 6-0 in a thrilling overtime game in the Section VII finals.

While Ticonderoga fell short in the state championship game versus Tioga, Rocque realized that the experience and lessons learned were very valuable.

“We didn’t accomplish our goal of winning it all, but we brought the community together, and that was important to us. And not a day goes by that someone doesn’t talk to me about it,” Rocque said. “And you can call it cliché, but hard work really does pay off. I believe that.”

As the football season came to an end, there was no time off for Rocque and his teammates as basketball season was already in full swing. Rocque as well as football teammates Evan Graney, Griffin Hughes, Brett Mosier and Ryan Truduea all quickly traded pads for sneakers and joined what Roque said is an under valued and under appreciated basketball program.

“You look up in the gym and you see a lot of football and a lot of baseball banners,” Rocque said. “Throughout Section 7 that’s what Ti is known for, football and baseball. Sure there are plenty of us who love basketball, but it is really hard, especially in Class C and D to have competitive teams in all sports,” he added.

After a tough loss to end his high school football career and a tougher basketball season, Rocque shifted focus once again and helped lead his baseball team to a Section 7 title and a regional appearance versus Greenwich. Rocque doubled and tripled and scored both runs in Ti’s 5-2 loss in his last high school game.

“Myself, Jacob Spaulding, Ryan Trudeau, we knew we had a chance to do something special and go to the states in two sports in the same year. We said, ‘Why not us?’ that was kind of our motto,” Rocque said. “We came up just short, but overall I was happy with how we played. Baseball is not like football, it’s way more situational. A bounce here or there can change the outcome. Overall it was a great year.”

Of all the traits he has acquired through the fields, courts and hallways at Ticonderoga, Rocque feels there is one that will serve him best at West Point.

“I learned a lot about time management, the ability to be resourceful with your time and make the best of every minute of your day. That’s going to be big for me over the next four years,” Rocque said. “Being a team captain, being a leader on three different teams has given me a lot of experience that I think is really going to help me at West Point.”

And Rocque’s football career is not quite over. While at West Point he will be playing sprint football, an NCAA sanctioned varsity sport where regular 11-on-11 football is played with a 175-pound weight limit at all positions.

While he is not sure if he will make the Army a career after his five years of mandatory service following graduation, Rocque knows the importance of the task at hand and where it might lead him.

“I want to graduate, receive my commission, and I’m going to take it from there. Day by day, year by year that’s how I’m approaching it,” Rocque said.

Roque is considering engineering and cyber security, though he has not decided on a major.

“I am not going to rush into a decision about a major,” Rocque said. “I want to get down there, get adjusted to life as a cadet and go from there. And I am confident that my experiences as an athlete and student have helped prepare me for whatever I am going to face.”

Editor’s note: This is the second of a three-part series on three local high school athletes who competed in three or more sports while maintaining a 90 grade point average.
