NORTH HUDSON — State officials have opened former timberlands in the Boreas tract property to public access. The interim move comes as fall colors begin the slow march through the mountains.

The newest addition to the Adirondack Park State Forest, Boreas has not been formally classified by the Department of Environmental Conservation in collaboration with the Adirondack Park Agency.

But state officials completed purchase of the 20,758-acre former Finch, Pruyn & Co. timberland last April.

The real estate transaction with The Nature Conservancy cost New York state taxpayers $14.5 million.

“The gate on Gulf Brook Road will open tomorrow,” DEC spokesman David Winchell told the Sun last Thursday, as Labor Day weekend got underway.

Called an Interim Access Plan, public use includes entrance via Gulf Brook Road and seven miles of bike roads. >> See BOREAS | pg. 19

AdirondackÊ raceÊ celebratesÊ 20th

The Adirondack Marathon at Schroon Lake kicks off Sept. 25

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON LAKE – Registration is coming down to the wire for this year’s Adirondack Marathon, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary at Schroon Lake.

Originally started as a small-town event, a run around the lake, it is now so much more than that, race board member Bob Singley said.

“It has become a means of uniting students, community members and summer residents in a common cause, and fostering lasting friendships between townsfolk and the athletes they support,” he said. “For the runners, it provides a challenging, yet doable course, where they can test their abilities and enjoy the Adirondack atmosphere and a small-town feel.”

The Adirondack Marathon starts at 9 a.m.

Sunday, Sept. 25 in downtown Schroon Lake.

The race is limited to 500 entrants.

“We’re planning on a bigger and better race day, weather permitting, to commemorate the 20 years the race has been held,” Singley said.

The Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival Weekend begins on Saturday, Sept. 24 with Chestertown 5K and 10K races to benefit the Helper’s Fund.

There is also a special Kids 1K Fun Run in Schroon Lake at 2 p.m. on Saturday, for 4 to 12 year olds.

“Incredibly, some die-hards opt to go for a double, with the Chestertown race on Saturday, and the marathon, half-marathon or relay on Sunday,” Singley said. “With the 1K, the kids get the thrill of crossing the marathon finish line.”

On Sunday, there is a non-competitive 7 a.m. early bird start for walkers or those who may not otherwise make the 3:30 p.m. finish cutoff. Half-marathoners are bussed to >> See MARATHON | pg. 26

Ticonderoga teachers go back to school As area schools reopen, teachers get ready for their new students

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Although students returned to school potentially ready to learn this week, teachers arrived days early to get ready for classes.

The Sun talked with two fourth-grade instructors at Ticonderoga Elementary School – Shari O’Bryan and Joan Defayette – about what they do to prepare.

Both have class sizes of about 20 students.

“The public perception of what teachers do is that it’s the same every year,” O’Bryan said. “But each class brings a different set of students. It’s different every year.”

And they have many ways of remembering students’ names.

“It’s fun to get to know the students,” Defayette said. “We have nameplates we put on their desks. That helps tremendously.”

“We’ve created class lists, written their names on the blackboard, so it’s just a matter of connecting a name with a face,” O’Bryan said.

Both teachers stayed in the area during the summer.

“It was a beautiful summer,” O’Bryan said. “It was a ‘stayca-

tion’ for me.”

“Why would you go away when we live here?” Defayette said. “People come to the Adirondacks to vacation and we live here.”

They talked about what they did first when they walked back into their classrooms for the first time since the last school year ended.

“I said ‘where’s my computer?’” O’Bryan said. “It had been put in a secure location.”

“I put my bulletin board up,” Defayette said. “We have

a Hollywood theme for this year, a cast and a stage.”

It’s not hard coming back after the summer off, Defayette said.

“I’m ready,” Defayette said. “I look forward to this.”

O’Bryan said she has a little difficulty at first.

“It’s hard to transition to a school schedule,” O’Bryan said.

“It’s dictated by a clock.”

Both teachers rearrange their classroom furniture every year to try to find the best educational flow.

“Every year it’s different for me,” O’Bryan said. “You’re always searching for the best organizational layout.”

Asked what they look forward to the most every year, both cited working with new students.

“I look forward to meeting the kids and getting to know them,” Defayette said.

O’Bryan said she’s looking forward to improved educational standards this year. “(Superintendent) John McDonald always says ”we’re fixing the plane while we’re flying the plane’ and I think he’s right,” O’Bryan said. “We’re aligning all the new core standards as we go along.”

O’Bryan is a Ticonderoga native and graduated from Ticonderoga schools.

“I like the Sentinel spirit,” she said. “We have a lot of that here. I enjoy just listening to the morning announcements, because they’re unifying.”

country shoppe

being in business or being involved with an organization.”

TICONDEROGA

Ti civic leader Gusher Smith is remembered

Charles “Gusher” Smith devoted his life to the Boy Scouts of America

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Charles “Gusher” Smith of Ticonderoga is being remembered as a civic leader and a devoted advocate of the Boy Scouts of America who almost singlehandedly kept scouting alive for decades in his hometown.

Smith, 95, passed away at his home on Thursday, Sept. 1.

He was scoutmaster of Boy Scouts Troop 71 in Ticonderoga for 42 years, from 1960 until 2002.

Smith always said scouting was his happiest years, and he wrote a longtime column called “Troop 71 on the Move” for the now-defunct Ticonderoga Sentinel.

In the column, Smith wrote about taking the boys to scout camp and on other activities. He once wrote he gave each boy a brand-new pocketknife to use as a scout.

His birthday at age 94 was designated as “Charles ‘Gusher’ Smith” Day” by the Ticonderoga Town Council, and a dinner was held in his honor.

Former Ticonderoga town supervisor Robert C. Dedrick worked with Smith on various civic projects.

“He was a person who was respected by everyone that knew him,” Dedrick told the Sun. “He was a veteran who loved his country, his community and a true leader and a shining example who loved youth.”

Ticonderoga Town Historian William Dolback said he was never a Boy Scout, but knew Smith as a family friend from the time he was a young boy with Smith as a neighbor.

“One of my early memories was walking to school with other neighborhood schoolmates,” Dolback remembered. “Gusher always had a still or movie camera with him. Years later, he showed us some of the moving pictures of our little ‘gang’ walking to school or playing about the neighborhood. It brought back so many memories, especially the common and ordinary things one does. They’re not really memories until you see them years later.”

Smith had devoted his life to the Boy Scouts, Dolback said.

“For decades, he mentored many young boys while a Boy Scout leader,” Dolback said. “He loved the outdoors: camping, fishing and hunting. These were the venues that he used to

teach them not only the principles of Boy Scouting, but how to interact with each other and those around them.”

Smith was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, and served during World War II, from 1942 until 1945.

He served with Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 13 in the Aleutian Islands and on the USS English (Destroyer 696) with the Third and Fifth fleets, Fast Carrier Task Forces, and attained the rank of torpedo man’s mate second class.

The Ticonderoga Sentinel edition of Aug. 30, 1945, reported that Smith’s destroyer, the USS English, had rescued sailors from the fire-ridden aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill, hit by Japanese suicide pilots on May 11, 1945.

“Smith fought flames, smoke and crazily exploding shells for three dramatic hours when his destroyer went to the aid of the Bunker Hill,” the story said. “The English reached the blazing flattop and began pouring water on the fires. Creep-

ing in close to the carrier’s fantail, where 30 or 40 men were trapped, the English poured tons of water across the narrow gap separating the two ships.

“At 1 p.m., the fires were brought under control.”

Smith once told a reporter one of his many jobs during WWII was being stationed on a remote tropical island with a shortwave radio and binoculars to spot Japanese ships and planes. He jokingly said he enjoyed sitting under a palm tree and eating tropical fruit as he carried out his assignment.

Smith was instrumental in getting a building built for Ticonderoga Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 146 at Shore-Airport Road and Route 22. He was a life-member of the group, which was chartered in 1947.

Smith was always involved in civic activities to better the community, Dolback said.

“It was through his personal activities and interest of the welfare of the community he introduced many youth in community volunteerism, helping other organizations, and simple things such as helping the village and town workers clean up about the town.”

Keith Barber, a Ticonderoga American Legion member, praised Smith as an active civic leader, speaking at a 2013 Veterans Day event at Ticonderoga Elementary School.

“Gusher is a real treasure,” Barber told those at the school.

“He’s an important fixture in our community.”

Smith was a lifelong resident of Ticonderoga, born on Nov. 11, 1920, the son of the late Richard L. and Agnes L. (Dumas) Smith.

He was the co-owner of Ti Oil Company from 1952 until his retirement in 1983.

He loved fishing, and was a member of the Lake Champlain Walleye Association and the Ticonderoga Fish and Game Club.

Besides the VFW, Smith was a member of American Legion Post 224, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks 1494, and Knights of Columbus Council 333, all of Ticonderoga.

“He loved telling stories about those people that he interacted with, his military service and the history of the community,” Dolback said. “He was a great and active supporter of the Ticonderoga Historical Society, financially and through donations. He will be missed.”

Jobs axed in Ticonderoga town offices Four people departed employment with the town

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Two jobs were eliminated and two people have resigned from posts with the Town of Ticonderoga’s Supervisor/Finance Department.

The positions that were eliminated were part of a restructuring, Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano said.

The full-time confidential secretary job held by Karla Vigliotti and a part-time floater clerk post held by Jill Cunningham were cut.

The job of confidential secretary had originally been part-time, then went to full-time in 2015, he said.

In addition, Deputy Supervisor John Bartlett and full-time Clerk to the Supervisor Amy Quesnel resigned, Giordano said.

Bartlett was paid a stipend for deputy supervisor, which is someone who fills in when the town supervisor can’t be present.

None of those who left wanted to comment on what happened when contacted by the Sun. Prior to the recent restructuring of the town’s Supervisor/Finance Department, the staffing consisted of these positions: • Clerk to the Supervisor, full-time • Confidential secretary, full-time, created in January 2015 • Water/sewer clerk, half-time, created in December 2015, in response to clerk Sue Huestis’ absence • Floater clerk, half-time, created in December 2015, also in response to Huestis’ absence The staffing will now consist of these positions: • Account clerk, full-time (new position) • Water/sewer clerk, half-time (existing

position, filled with the same employee) • Clerk to the Supervisor, half-time (new appointment, with primary responsibilities to improve communication between the town and public) Giordano said it started with a Town Council workshop on pay grades.

“This restructuring of the finance department was borne out of a number of growing concerns I became aware of over the course of my first six months in office,” Giordano said. “Most recently a pay-in-grade workshop revealed gross inequalities amongst employee wages for similar types of work, as well as imprudent Civil Service practices.”

He said the Town Council needed to take a more progressive approach to its financial operations.

“It did this by abolishing 1.5 positions, in order to bring on board a professional accountant to implement budgetary and financial best practices,” Giordano said. “The bulk

of these services will be temporary – only lasting long enough to fully implement these best practice initiatives.”

He said the town will contract for its payroll services now.

“The town will continue to seek assistance with its long-held contracted consultants, which currently serve in the functions of human resources, labor relations, health insurance, and accounting,” Giordano said. “In addition to these, the town will now outsource its payroll.”

Most positions require a Civil Service test for the job, and candidates must be hired from a list. That had not been done in Ticonderoga with the jobs that were cut, Giordano said.

He said the cuts were a shared determination between himself and the Town Council.

“It’s a town board decision,” he said. “We went into executive session for three hours.

There was a lot to discuss.”

Ticonderoga 9-1-1 building addresses found missing Town asking residents to post their addresses

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Many of the buildings in Ticonderoga are not numbered with 911 addresses, the Ticonderoga Town Council’s Public Safety Committee was told at a recent meeting.

At the session, representatives of the Ticonderoga Volunteer Fire Department, Emergency Squad and Police Department all asked the town to take action.

“Many of our addresses are not posted and it is something the town would like rectified,” Building Inspector Danielle Holman said.

“This makes responding to an ambulance or fire call extremely difficult to do in a timely manner. Imagine if your

loved one’s life was on the line and the ambulance or fire truck was even one minute too late to help, because they could not find the address they were dispatched to, through no fault of their own.”

She said both the New York State Building Code and Essex County’s 911 local law require structures to be labeled with the correct 911 address.

The law states: A number shall be prominently placed on the front (road side) of every house or structure having a separate address number, and mailboxes shall be marked with the house/structure number if the box is in front of and on the same side of the street as the building.

In addition, if the house or structure is not visible from the road and no mailbox is beside the driveway leading to the house/structure, a sign or number post shall be erected to

display the number. This sign or number post may display the number either vertically, from the top down, or horizontally.

The structure number must be placed high enough so that it will not be obscured by snow during an average winter.

The structure’s number must be visible from the street or road, and shall not be or allowed to become obscured by trees, brush or otherwise.

The number has to be reflective as well, at least four inches in size, and if affixed to a mailbox, the number must be on both sides.

The town is asking for full compliance with these laws, Holman said, and anyone who needs help in any way posting their number should contact the Town Police at 585-2205, the Fire Department at 585-7771, the Emergency Squad at 5035055, or the Senior Center at 585-6050.

O

ne can never put a value on a heartfelt “thank you.” They make up a significant portion of the communicated words we use each day, many times passing our lips as an automatic response from one human to another.

A more formal “thank you” by card or letter requires greater thought and effort to produce and distribute.

They also are associated with some form of cost.

For many years, The SUN has published and distributed thousands of letters to thousands of homes from grateful organizations and community members at no charge to either the writer nor the recipient.

No other method exists to reach so many without some cost by either party.

Sadly, we must announce a change in our policy for accepting these types of letters.

The ever-escalating cost of publishing a free community newspaper, mailed to every home in 85 unique zip codes, regretfully requires us alter this practice.

Effective immediately, thank you letters appearing in The SUN will need to run as “Cards of Thanks” and will be channeled through our advertising department at deeply discounted rates.

Thank you letters will no longer be accepted as a Letter to the Editor.

Those letters will now be reserved for issue-oriented commentary to aid in the flow of free speech and the open exchange of ideas.

It is never easy to change longstanding practices and we do not make these decisions without considerable thought and discussion.

The SUN has a longstanding history of supporting many good causes and organizations throughout the region, which we will continue to do whenever possible.

We understand the value of giving freely of our time and talent to assist those in need. But in the case of most thank you letters, they serve to promote their organization, the raising of funds and their supporters for commercial value.

Our only form of income to support our publishing efforts and staff is the distribution of commercial information.

As these letters get longer and more detailed, they take up more space and require more effort to produce. It’s >> Story Continued this page

GUEST VIEWPOINT

Teaching the young how to vote

By Tom Purcell “Son, you’re 18 now. As an American citizen that means you’ll vote for the first time in the upcoming election.”

“Gee, dad, I can’t wait to do my civic duty. How do you suggest I prepare?”

“Well, son, a good place to start is to re-read the American Constitution to understand the basic principles upon which our country was founded.”

“It’s been a while since I read it in school, dad.”

“Son, the Constitution is the highest law of the land. All new laws in our country originate from it or should. However, not all politicians buy into the Constitution. Some think it is old and outmoded.”

“Outmoded, dad?”

“The Constitution establishes a framework for how our government functions. It establishes a system of checks and balances, so that none of our three branches of government ---- the legislative, executive and judicial ---- can become too powerful. Some politicians hate having such limitations placed upon them, however. They want to do as they please with the taxpayers’ money or impose laws on citizens without following the constitutional process. So you’ll want to know their position on the Constitution before you vote.”

“OK, dad, I’ll re-read the Constitution and be sure to research what each candidate thinks about it. What else should I do before I vote?”

“You’ll also want to study the Bill of Rights, son. The bill represents 10 amendments to the Constitution designed to protect the civil liberties of individuals. For instance, the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the right to petition the government and freedom of the press.”

“I remember learning in civics class that a free, objective press is essential to the survival of our republic.”

“Which is a worrisome thing, son, when you see how in the tank the major media are for one presidential candidate over the other. You’ll also want to read the 17 other amendments. The 16th Amendment, for instance, was passed into law in 1913. It created the federal income tax.”

“I’m already very familiar with that painful amendment, dad. What else can I do?”

“Well, son, it’s important to study the issues. There’s lots of disagreement in America and how to move the country forward. Some people think our gov-

Thank you policy From this page

one thing to say thank you to all who supported our cause, but something entirely different to thank every supporter, contest winner, announce upcoming events and apologize for missing anyone (which in most cases is The SUN, which gets no recognition for printing the thank you letter itself).

The last line is not meant to be sour grapes. The point I’m trying to make is that all too often, The SUN’s free service is taken for granted and that everything we do should be free.

No organization will last long if the value of the service they provide is not supported in a monetary fashion by those who recognize the value. It can’t always be someone else who does the supporting.

A

ernment is too big and isn’t following the limited-government spirit of our Constitution. However, other people think the government should double down and spend lots more.”

“More, dad?”

“Yes, some people think ‘the rich’ aren’t paying their fair share. They think we can impose massive tax increases on them and redistribute the money to others who don’t have as much. But others think that would create a huge negative economic backlash that would end up hurting everyone, in particular the poorest among us.”

“So you want me to study the political promises each candidate makes and then vote for the best person, dad?”

“Yes, son, but that takes time and effort and too few voters are willing to do any due diligence on the candidates. Since many people get their information from the mass media, candidates who raise the most money to pay for the most negative advertising are often able to sway poorly informed voters.”

“That’s disturbing, dad.”

“It surely is, son. A thoughtful, well-informed public is the heart and soul of a thriving republic. In my opinion, the candidates who best embrace our country’s founding principles will be best able to tackle the incredible challenges we face ---- debt, spending, government bureaucracy, a flat economy.

Regrettably, however, few people think as I do.”

“Maybe so, dad, but you offer sound advice. I promise to be as well-informed as I can before I pull a voting lever on Election Day.” Tom Purcell, author of �Misadventures of a 1970�s Childhood� and �Wicked Is the Whiskey,� a Sean McClanahan mystery novel, both available at Amazon. com, is a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review humor columnist and is nationally syndicated exclusively by Cagle Cartoons Inc.

Providing a community newspaper with good quality content, delivered free to every residential home in 85 zip codes, is not a cheap service. Retaining our staff and purchasing the supplies and equipment required to perform this task each week costs approximately $85,000. Many weeks, especially in the winter, we don’t always cover those costs.

It could be considered a high-wire act that we perform each week. If we give too much away, it causes those who support our efforts to question why.

But at the same time, we believe our free distribution method is the future for newspapers that will survive to serve the entire community for years to come.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

ENDORSEMENT POLICY

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75.

A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMENTARY

WhenÊ youÊ seeÊ anÊ AmericanÊ IraqÊ warÊ veteran...

To the Editor: This is for all the Hillary haters to read when you talk about lying.

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one leg, think about who lied to cause him to lose his leg.

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no legs, think of who lied to cause him to lose both legs.

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one arm, think of who lied that caused him to lose his arm.

When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no arms, think of who caused him to lose both arms.

When you see an American Iraq war veteran who is blind, think of who lied to cause him to lose his vision.

When you see an American Iraq war veteran who doesn’t know where he is or who he is, think about who lied that caused him to lose his mind.

When you see all the American Iraq war veteran in hospitals today, think about who caused them to be in those hospitals.

I think about it all the time whenever I see any of our American Iraq veterans. I think about it all the time, who could have been responsible for all these ruined lives? How could anyone have lied to do such a horrendous thing, who?

Then the answer came to me: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, William Kristol, George Tenet, all Republicans.

These people who lied and are responsible for thousands of deaths, injuries, trillions of dollars of debt and setting the Middle East on fire in which there seems to be no end in sight.

AppalledÊ byÊ racistÊ incidents To the Editor: After reading the article by Pete DeMola [“Diversity group tackles tough questions,” The Sun, Aug. 20 edition], I was appalled about his report of Alvin Codner visiting a Lake George establishment.

It doesn’t matter if you’re an African American or a member of any other race. You should not be treated with such disrespect by any business that is here to serve the customer. The Ticonderoga Walmart is just as bad.

When I was growing up, my father always respected anyone he met. His advice was to remember each one of us has a soul and to treat everyone with respect. We all have some DNA from other countries. Let’s always remember to treat all people as brothers.

TrumpÊ aÊ Ô falseÊ prophetÊ thatÊ spoutsÊ hateÕ To the Editor: In my almost 75 years, I have lived through the elections of 12 presidents.

And never have I seen such filth being peddled by Trump and his supporters.

Many of them call themselves Christians, and there are even so-called “Christian leaders” carrying the Trump banner. One has to wonder what Bible they are reading and who they are professing to follow!

The filth thrown out by Trump at rallies where his followers bring their children is language not heard in sleazy bar rooms. The lesson they are giving their children is that cursing and telling untruths is what our country is all about. Four-letter words pour from Trump’s mouth and any hint of morals are thrown aside. I have to wonder how so-called Christian leader Franklin Graham could possibly give Trump backing when he shows no Christian values. Perhaps Rev. Graham is what the Bible calls a “False Prophet!”

In point of fact, Trump falls into the same category as a false prophet when he spouts out his hate and flip-flops every time the wind changes direction.

His dishonoring of a family that lost a son fighting for our freedoms is a slap in the face to every man and woman who has worn a uniform. As a draft dodger and a coward, he should stop beating the drums of war and go back to his golf club where is thought a hero by his underlings!

Unfortunately we have to wait until Election Day to be rid of this stain on our political process and our country!

In the mean time his supporters can enjoy their outsourced Trump products that are putting Americans out of work. There is a good chance Trump may have “Made in China” stamped on his heel!

Ô InquiringÊ mindsÊ areÊ notÊ welcomeÊ inÊ ThurmanÕ To the Editor: In the beginning of Supervisor Wood’s administration, time and again, she would say “I go by the book.”

Resolution #13, establishing rules of procedure, was approved in 2012.

Among the several procedures covered are correspondence and public comment period.

Correspondence refers to letters to the town board and public.

It states that correspondence shall not be read and shall not be printed with the minutes unless specifically requested.

Since 2012, the letters have been read regularly during the minutes.

For the past 3-4 months the board has decided they should abide by Resolution #13 regarding the correspondence and not allow them to be read during the meeting.

The NYS town law manual does say the public may not participate in the meeting except upon the invitation of the board. Thurman chose to address privilege of the floor comment period, in Resolution #13, 2012 with 13 bullet points. The first stating that the town will provide to the extent practical, a comment period.

Since 2012, a comment period has been regularly included in meetings.

After four years, why would a board be afraid of comments or questions from the public? Does the excuse of “too much agenda to cover” in less than two hours really ring true?

Once again there are overwhelming issues and dissension that the administration apparently does not want brought out in the public meetings, listen to or answer to.

This isn’t the first and only issue that our “by the book” leadership reads and chooses, only select parts of the law, rule or resolutions that fit their agenda and ignores the balance.

Inquiring minds are not welcome in Thurman.

HUDÊ programÊ Ô didÊ nothingÕ Ê forÊ apartmentÊ withÊ blackÊ mold To the Editor: HUD Program, Housing for Underdeveloped: this program helps people with rental assistance.

The last apartment I lived in was in Port Henry, NY. For two years I put up with black mold, lead paint and ceilings falling in.

HUD did nothing until Public Health moved me out of there.

Now, I’ve moved to Elizabethtown, NY. I have roaches and mice in an apartment HUD recommended to me. It was never inspected before I moved in.

My caretaker just kept getting sprays, and whatnot, from the store. Then, he was forced to spray. Just my apartment. HUD employee did nothing.

I, Laurie Rafferty, tenant, have contacted the health department. I spoke to the man once on the phone, he said the problem would be taken care of.

Now, he will not even return my calls.

The HUD employee stated I was in danger of losing my assistance. Except I still have a caseworker through Public Health. A home health care person out of Plattsburgh. And a mental health worker drops into my home.

The neighbor next door stated the roaches were in the apartment when I moved in, to the caretaker.

I am not allowed to move, due to HUD. And if I just keep quiet then I can keep my HUD and not be homeless. That’s the way the HUD program works in Essex County.

ThankÊ youÊ forÊ yourÊ service To the Editor: I find responding to Joe’s attack regarding Trump’s Lie’s in your Sept. 3rd edition difficult.

I was raised to respect my elders and always offer a helping hand to them if they were in need, and have respect and gratitude for every veteran that served our country. These values are inherent in my D&A. So learning that Joe is a WWII veteran presents a difficult challenge to me.

Joe, thanks for your service and protecting our way of life, men like you and my father severed with distinction and honor for the duration of WWII. Take note my father was a Democrat but I guarantee you if he were alive today he would be supporting Trump, protecting us from both the socialists and communists that have infiltrated the Democratic party and would continue the destruction started by B. H. Obama.

As for your incoherent and rambling messages I charge them off to your age.

Due to respect for the Sun’s policy as to the length of articles I will not respond to the numerous and false accusations.

Trump on Immigration Speech sounds good, but rings hollow

Christine Flowers Columnist

A

s an immigration lawyer, I approached Donald Trump’s speech last Wednesday night with anticipation, hope and trepidation.

I was willing to keep an open mind about a topic that, next to abortion rights and religious freedom, is the most important issue for me in this campaign. I was prepared to praise the man if he came out with an honest, workable, non-tweetable attempt to address the extremely complicated factors that go into the whole concept of “illegal immigration.”

To say I was disappointed is an understatement along the level of “Houston, we have a problem.”

I listened politely as Trump spoke about building his wall, and understood that this was an appealing concept to many - including myself - who are troubled by the fluidity of our borders. As he discussed the modalities that would be used to build that wall, evoking technologies apparently not yet in existence, I realized that his use of this concept was much more symbolic than anything else.

“Build a wall” has been an effective slogan over the years, and it doesn’t require much cerebral heavy lifting.

Trump sounded more poetic than Maya Angelou: “On Day 1, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful Southern border wall.” He talked about “above- and below-ground sensors” which other people call “tunnels.” He talked about aerial surveillance, towers and additional manpower.

He also said Mexico would pay for the wall, even though the Mexican president made it clear that Mexico “no paga.” So the estimated $8 to $12 billion needed to build this “beautiful Southern border wall” will have to come from somewhere.

Then Trump announced the revolutionary concept that he would change enforcement priorities by “removing criminals, gang members, security threats, visa overstays, (and) public charges.”

I stood up and gave him a standing ovation when I heard that. But I gave President Obama that same standing ovation when he announced those same priorities in November 2014. Yawn.

Trump then talked about screening refugees, and no one who has seen the brutality wreaked by ISIS and other Islamic terror groups should object to that.

But, as experts have noted, refugees generally undergo the most rigorous and time-consuming process of any category of immigrants. Sometimes the process can take up to 18 months, or more. So again, nothing new.

The suggestion that illegal aliens must be kept out of the country because they have an innate tendency to be more violent and homicidal than the average native-born American is wrong.

Debatable, but still wrong. It’s an argument we can have; I’m fine with that.

My problem is using death to make your partisan point.

“My boy was shot by a cop.

They’re bigoted monsters.”

“My boy was killed by an illegal.

They’re homicidal maniacs.”

Same tune, different verses.

And if you don’t think it’s the same tune, that’s because your ears are registered with a different party, and you think some mothers are less entitled to grieve than others.

EYE ON THE ARTS

North Country comes alive with dwindling summer

T

here are plenty of North Country residents who feel, immovably, that the North Country is the best place to live. Period.

One of the biggest contributing factors to their love for the area, from what I’ve heard from those idealistic residents, is the fact that the North Country has four definitive, textbook seasons.

In simpler terms; the winter months are cold until spring moves in, then summer, then fall, and each season brings with it the expected side effects.

As the summer dwindles, our tourism industry doesn’t die; it evolves. Soon the leaf peepers will descend upon our quiet towns, orchards will open for apple picking and hayrides, and fall will be upon us.

In this transitional period, there are a number of events around the region that will either cling to the summer, or embrace the oncoming fall. Here are a few: The Lake Placid Center for the Arts will host the Bumper Jacksons, 2015 Washington Area Music Award winners for Artist of the Year, on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. For more information, call 523-2512 or visit lakeplacidarts.org.

Pianist Charles Fisk will return to the Keene Valley Congregational Church on Sept. 24 at 8 a.m.

Since 2004, Fish has performed for the East Brach Friends of the Arts every fall. The year’s program will feature pieces by Bach and Beethoven. A donation of $10 is requested. For more information, call 608-222-0437.

Lake George will host “Jazz at the Lake,” a weekend long jazz festival, on Sept. 17-18 at Shepard Park. The free concerts include performances by The Brubeck Brothers Quartet, Charenee Wade, Edmar Castaneda Trio and more. For more information on the full line up of performers, visit lakegeorgearts.org.

A play by Ellis Butler, originally performed at the First Baptist Church in Glens Falls in May of 1916, will return to Glens Falls on Oct. 12. The one-act suffrage play, “The Revolt,” will be hosted in the Crandall Library’s community room. In this Butler play, a suffragist enters an anti-suffragist school for young ladies. For more information, contact the library at 792-6508.

The Otis Mountain Get Down will return to Elizabethtown this Friday. The Sept. 9-11 fest features a jam-packed lineup; over thirty acts, three stages, three days. Among the bands to be featured are Lewis Del Mar, Vundabar and Kepa. Tickets are $50. For more information, look out for more Sun Community News coverage or visit otismountain.com.

Ti’coustics will return to Ticonderoga’s Burleigh House on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. The genres will vary. Ti’coustics is a musical fund raising effort created to add funds to existing organizations who are attempting to bring new business and vitality to downtown Ticonderoga.

All shows begin at 7 p.m. and are free of charge. The next Ti’coustics concert is slated for Sept. 21 and will feature folksingers Jim Gabler, Jim Hock, Lance Dolbeck and more. For more information, call 585-9138.

The Elizabethtown Hand House will host two sonatas by Ithaca College Faculty Cellist Elizabeth Simkin and friends on Sept. 10-11. This concert will feature the Bach C-Minor Violin Sonata, the Kodaly Cello Sonata, and the Brahms B-Major Trio. Elizabeth Simkin is currently on the faculty of the Ithaca College School of Music.

Ticonderoga Chamber Week events slated The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce plans a special week

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce has some special events planned for National Chamber of Commerce Week, Sept. 12 through 16.

“We are truly honored to serve, market and promote our members and the entire Ticonderoga area,” Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright said. “We work hard each and every day to ensure we are living our mission and tag line as well as striving to reach our vision. Without our members and community support, our efforts would not be possible.”

The Ticonderoga Town Council will be submitting a resolution to acknowledge the week and its importance, as well as highlighting the role the chamber plays in the community, Courtright said.

The events start Monday, Sept. 12 and Wednes-

day, Sept. 14, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at chamber offices, with a Chamber Open House and Coffee Chat.

“Stop by the chamber office to learn more about the all of the benefits of being a chamber member, the role the chamber plays in the community and how the support of our members and partners truly make all the efforts of the chamber possible,” Courtright said.

Coffee and pastries will be served, courtesy the Hot Biscuit Diner and Libby’s Bakery Café.

On Tuesday, Sept. 13, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the chamber will hold Membership Outreach Day. “Staff members will be out visiting members to touch base, answer questions, provide assistance and just simply connect,” Courtright said. “If you would like to ensure a chamber staff member stops by, simply call or email the chamber prior to Sept.

14.”

On Thursday, Sept. 15, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., the chamber is holding its September After Business Mixer at Five Nations Golf, in coordination with the Sentinel Grille.

The chamber’s After Business Mixers provide a networking forum for chamber members and area business people, in addition to showcasing the site of the host as well as promoting door prize sponsors.

Finally, on Friday, Sept. 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at chamber offices, “Chamber Appreciation Day - A Positive Future” will be held.

Courtright said they want to hear from members about what they like about the chamber.

“We truly appreciate the continued support from our members and partners,” he said. “They make it possible for the chamber to live its mission and reach for our vision.”

The chamber will provide forms to use to write a quote, to be used for future chamber publications.

Also, the Ticonderoga Area Farmers Market will take place on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., coordinated by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is working to help small businesses grow, Chamber Executive Director Matthew Courtright says.

To that end, the chamber has partnered with the North Country Small Business Development Center to provide services direct to members at chamber offices downtown.

Courtright said the Small Business Development Center will have representatives there on Tuesday, Sept. 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Business Development Center will offer an array of business support, services, and counseling to existing businesses and planned new businesses.

There will also be business seminars during the visits, free for chamber members, with themes to be announced later.

The Business Development Center will provide free and confidential oneon-one business counseling, and market and industry research assistance, among other services.

Their staff is comprised of business professionals, with either small business ownership or executive management experience.

“They can help you develop practical solutions to deal with the challenges of starting and operating a successful business,” Courtright said. “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the team at the North Country Small Business Development Center. Through our partnership, we’re able to offer all of the services available (from them) in a convenient location.”

The North Country Small Business Development Center at Plattsburgh is part of a statewide network of 24 regional centers.

The counselors will tailor their help to whatever a business needs, Courtright said.

Common topics are: business plan development and cash flow projections; financial analysis and legal and regulatory information; marketing assistance and business start-up information; buying and selling a business and human resource development; and import and export assistance and government procurement.

The center is supported by the State University of New York and the U.S. Small Business Administration, and due to this support, their services are free of charge.

“Whether you are thinking of starting a business or have been in business for years, the Small Business Development Center and the chamber can offer you assistance and guidance in an array of areas,” Courtright said.

Appointments can be made by calling the chamber at 585-6619, or emailing chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com.

ELIZABETHTOWN – Some members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors think the cost of maintaining the county’s new public safety radio system is much too high.

The $17 million Essex County public safety radio project is nearing the finish line, and on Tuesday the board approved a Motorola service agreement for $179,000, to cover April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017, but not without a lot of dissent.

“I feel this is an outrageous price on a brand-new system,” Supervisor Randy Preston (I-Wilmington) said. “As the system gets older the price could go up. I hope going forward we can have some negotiations (on cost).”

Supervisor James Monty (R-Lewis) said the charge will have to be added to future county budgets.

“That’s an annual maintenance cost,” Monty said. “The money’s coming from the radio project (bond issue) this year. In the 2017 budget we’ll have to account for that.”

County Manager Daniel Palmer said the maintenance charge is from state contract prices, which are usually the lowest available.

“The problem is, it’s one of those situations where you pay for maintenance and if something goes wrong with your 911 system and you don’t have it, you’re putting the public at risk,” Palmer said.

Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah)

said he thought the new radio system came with a warranty.

“I thought there was coverage for period of a few years?” Scozzafava said.

The warranty is up, he was told, hence the service contract.

Scozzafava said a Harris Corp. vendor submitted a bid for vehicle radios, but the county went with Motorola, because it was a Motorola system. Harris might have offered a longer warranty, he said.

“No matter which company you hired, you’d always be looking at maintenance,” Palmer said.

The service agreement covers everything from computers to radios, Palmer said.

Lawmakers unanimously passed the award of the service contract.

The board also voted to buy a spare Motorola base station radio from Wells Communications of Plattsburgh on state contract, for $14,980, and go to bid for a backup battery power supply for the Angier Hill radio tower site in the town of Essex.

The county also OK’d accepting a $166,248 State Homeland Security Department grant for 911 center operations for 2016-17, and $218,780 from New York State Electric and Gas for its share of the capital project. NYSEG is co-locating its antennas on some of the county radio towers.

“We’re wrapping it up,” Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish said after the meeting. “We have one more thing to do – we want to fix some of the dead spots in our coverage area.”

That will be done by aligning antennas and other adjustments, he said.

Department head files grievance ELIZABETHTOWN — An Essex County department head has filed a complaint against Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava over a letter to the board read at a public meeting.

At last week’s Essex County Board of Supervisors Ways and Means Committee meeting, Scozzafava (R-Moriah) read an anonymous letter that asked if County Department of Social Services Commissioner John O’Neill had permission to work at home, because he apparently did so frequently.

At that meeting, County Manager Daniel Palmer told Scozzafava he would check on the situation.

But at Tuesday’s regular Board of Supervisors session, Scozzafava said the employee who was the subject of the letter filed a grievance against him.

“I have no problem discussing it here,” Scozzafava said, asking County Attorney Daniel Manning III what the process is for an employee filing a grievance against an elected official.

“There’s a process under county law,” Manning said. “A two-step

He said it first goes to the department head or superior, then that person makes a suggestion on how to alleviate it, and if that doesn’t resolve it, it goes to a hearing and determination is made.

O’Neill said he didn’t know what Scozzafava had said at Tuesday’s meeting, because he hadn’t been present.

“I said everything I needed to in the grievance,” O’Neill said. “I’ll refrain from further comment.”

Scozzafava said he had the legal right to read the letter at a meeting.

“I’ve seen this movie before,” Scozzafava said. “The Board of Supervisors absolutely has the right to investigate any department or employee. Under the (state) whistleblower law, someone can send a letter, anonymous or not. I’m going to file insubordination charges against this individual for what he has said to me. All I did was read a letter.”

Manning said he doesn’t recommend reading such letters in public.

“Those things are very temperamental,” Manning said.

Scozzafava said the letter simply asked whether O’Neill had permission to work at home.

“I never made an allegation. I simply read a letter,” Scozzafava said.

Although Manning suggested one, Scozzafava said there was no need for an executive session, and the Board of Supervisors adjourned after his statements.

Palmer and Board of Supervisors Chair William Ferebee (R-Keene) were planning to meet with O’Neill after the meeting to discuss the grievance.

Boreas << Continued from | p. 1

The Gulf Brook Road winds 3.2 miles from Blue Ridge to the newly opened gate and an area that North Hudson Town Supervisor Ronald Moore calls “the four corners” at LaBier Flow.

The marshy flow is where the Boreas River flows out of a sequence of four ponds, an impoundment created by two existing dams built

by Finch Pruyn.

Roads throughout the property were established for logging truck traffic, fitted with culverts and bridge crossings.

DEC said their interim plan also opens 25 miles on seven former logging roads to horse and “horse-drawn” wagons.

“Paddlers will be able to access Boreas Pond and other waterways by carrying their canoes and kayaks 2.5 miles from the gate on Gulf Brook Road to LaBier Flow and then another half-mile between the flow and Boreas Pond,” DEC said in announcing the plan.

“All roadways and lands are open to hiking, hunting, trapping, snowshoeing, and crosscountry skiing except for one-acre around leased (hunting) camps.

“All of the lands are open to camping provided campsites are more than 150-feet from any roadway or body of water, but at this time no specific tent sites have been designated.”

DEC and the town of North Hudson have established a total of eight parking areas, some large enough to park horse trailers, Moore said.

The Town of North Hudson was contracted

by DEC to build five of the parking lots.

“There are two on Elk Lake and two across from the Hoffman Notch Trail off of Blue Ridge (Road). You go up further at Gulf Brook Road, and we are building another parking area that is a loop, for a larger vehicle, like a trailer for horses,” Moore said.

The parking areas and interim use plan do not indicate what DEC and APA will recommend for classification, Moore said.

“This interim plan has nothing to do with future state land-use classification.”

But it does allow people to begin to explore the area once used by Finch Pruyn as its corpo-

rate retreat.

“People have been accessing it all along for hiking and for biking,” Moore said.

“It would be great to be able to get closer to the ponds. I drove in yesterday as far as you can go. It’s about 3.2 miles from Blue Ridge to the gate.

“From there, if you wanted to canoe, you’d have to take your canoe or kayak on wheels or carry it another 3.5 miles to get to the ponds.”

If DEC allowed motor vehicle access to LaBier Flow it would be only a mile carry, roughly, to the ponds, Moore said.

“At Labier Flow, you could actually put in and paddle up. Otherwise you’d have to walk close to a mile.”

With onset of the busy fall hiking, biking and paddling season, Moore said this plan could draw traffic off of the busy, often overcrowded, High Peaks region directly north.

“This Interim Plan is a start, especially given the fact that we have bicycling permitted to the ponds and that we have what appear to be quite a few trails for horseback riding,” Moore said.

The supervisor is working with a coalition of five towns, which includes Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake and Long Lake, to advance a multiuse recreational plan.

Several Adirondack environmental groups are pressing for a more strict Wilderness classification at Boreas, one that could remove roadways and possibly the dam structures.

North Hudson’s supervisor expects the APA will start the land-use discussion at its Sept. 15 meeting.

“I don’t know if they’ll have their alternatives formed at that point. But if they do, there will be many public hearings.”

The five-town coalition is looking for a snowmobile trail along the southern edge of Boreas as part of the embattled Community Connector trail system.

DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said they were pleased to open the property with an Interim Plan.

“Outdoor enthusiasts of all skills and abilities will now have incredible opportunities to visit and enjoy the newest addition to the Adirondack Forest Preserve,” he said in a news release.

There are eight designated parking areas.

The Times of Ti Sun • September 10, 2016 | 19

Three year-round parking areas are set along the Blue Ridge Road between North Hudson and Newcomb at the entrances to Sand Pond Road, Gulf Brook Road and Ragged Mountain Road. These three are the only parking areas designated for parking horse trailers, according to DEC. Two year-round parking areas have been designated along the Elk Lake Road for fishermen, hunters, trappers, and others, DEC announced.

And three seasonal parking areas are set up along Gulf Brook Road.

But these three will be closed after winter sets in until the end of the spring mud season.

“In addition, public parking will be allowed on any point along Blue Ridge Road or Elk Lake Road, except where parked vehicles would block a roadway or gate. There are several miles of suitable public parking along Blue Ridge Road,” DEC said.

There has been no formal word yet as to any plan by DEC to incorporate parking or trailheads at the closed Frontier Town property, which is currently owned by Essex County.

CLINTONVILLE — If there were a big enough trailer, the Ticonderoga varsity football team might want to load AuSable Valley’s field on and transport it the 58 miles.

For the seventh time in their last 10 games (the other three games were away), the Sentinels scored a win on the AVCS turf, this time a season opening 21-12 win over Beekmantown Sept.

2.

“This is a nice field to us,” head coach Scott Nephew said.

“We have had a good run here the past couple of years.”

The Sentinels were playing at AuSable Valley as work continues on their home field at the Ticonderoga Elementary School.

For a while, it looked like the run may be over as Beekmantown scored 12 unanswered points to give them a 12-7 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

In the fourth, quarterback Evan Graney was able to find a whole in the Eagle defense on a sweep play and scamper 32 yards into the endzone. He then found Griffin Hughes on the two-point conversion to give the Sentinels a 13-12 lead with 4:12 remaining.

The the bizarre happened.

As the Sentinels kicked off, the ball clearly looked like it was heading out of bounds. Instead, it took a high bounce straight into the air, confusing the Eagles return team and falling to the ground where Justyn Granger made the kick recovery to give the ball back to Ti. “We always stress how important special teams are,” Granger said. “I went down the field as hard as I could looking for a chance to make a play. It took a high bounce and that turned out to be a good bounce for us.”

The ensuing drive was then handled mostly by brother Jevyn Granger, who dragged tacklers for a pair of long runs, including the five-yard push to the endzone to give the Sentinels their

final points of the game.

“That was nuts,” Jevyn Granger said of the 1:39 that went off the clock between scores.

“When Justyn got that ball back for us, it fired the whole team right up.”

As for his runs to ice the game, Jevyn said, “I always try to get a head of steam and keep my legs going. I’m a small guy, a sticky little fellow, but we were able to make some plays and I am glad I had a chance to help out.”

The scores came after a set of back-and-forth possessions, with safety Brett Mosier making some key plays to keep the Eagles out of the endzone.

“I have to give credit to the guys in front of me,” Mosier said about the linemen and linebackers. “They were the ones holding up the blocks, I was the one who was able to make the tackles.”

“I was very pleased with all the kids because I feel they stepped up in the fourth quarter,” Nephew said. “But it really showed with some of the returning players giving the extra effort.”

Nephew said the key in the second half and fourth quarter was getting more consistent play from the front lines.

“In the first half, we would have one play every three downs where they would blow the play up,” Nephew said. “As the game went on, the players started to make the plays they needed to.”

Graney finished with 88 yards passing and 32 more on the ground, while Jevyn Granger added 91 yards and Justyn Granger 23.

For the Sentinels, its a change of uniform as the team will put their AuSable Valley winning streak on the line Friday, Sept. 9, as they will be wearing the white jerseys in a road game against their temporary hosts, the AuSable Valley Patriots.

“We will focus on what we need to improve upon and get ready to face AuSable Valley,” Nephew said.

A look around at the action from last week; plus a look ahead at the big games to come

By Keith Lobdell

T

he fall 2016 sports season is well underway, and we could not be happier!

Last week brought a number of preseason tournaments, from the Be The Match Fall Classic and Frankie Garrow Memorial tournaments at Chazy to the Pizza Hut Shootout at Northeastern Clinton and the Saranac tournament.

At these tournaments, there may have been some early indications how things will go in the soccer world this season.

1. Chazy boys are back: They didn’t go away, but a loss in the sectional Class D semifinals is not a successful year in the eyes of this program. Heck, a loss in the Class D state finals isn’t either for the seven time state champs. However, after defeating two state-caliber squads in Plattsburgh High School (defending Class B state champ) and Beekmantown (2015 state finalist in Class B), both in shutout fashion, the Eagles looked poised to make another run in what again will be a deep Section VII/Class D field.

2. Griffins will soar and roar: About 15 years ago I went down this road before, so I should not be surprised to see it happen again. A then ELCS Lions team coach by Paul Buehler which had lost eight starters to graduation came out strong the next year, basing their success on sound fundamentals and field concepts. Now, here they are again, with the now Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins eight starters down and removed from a state championship game appearance, and they looked impressive in their second place showing at the NCCS tournament.

So, why are these two observations together? Because the Eagles and Griffins will open the regular season of the Northern Soccer Leagues’ Division II schedule on Thursday, Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m. at Camp Dudley in the soccer game of the week. It will be the third straight game where the Eagles have played a team who has played for a state title over the past two years (Chazy having been co-champions in 2015).

3. Ticonderoga should never leave Clintonville: Or figure out a way to take their field to Ti. 7-0. That is the Ticonderoga Sentinels record over the past season and one game on a field located 58 miles away from Ticonderoga Central School. After scoring a 21-12 comeback win against the Beekmantown Eagles Sept. 2 in their first “home game” of the season as they await for the turf to be put down on their native field, the Sentinels will return to Clintonville this week to play in what I am now dubbing, “The Revolutionary Bowl,” as the Sentinels host — I mean — take on the host Patriots.

So whose home game is this?

4. Beekmantown Lady Eagles starting strong: The regional finalists from one year ago have their sights set on higher goals, and they are being led by a young lady who can score in cleats or on skates in Kirsten Villemaire.

Villemaire tallied three goals to go with three assists in her first two games of 2016 as the Eagles won the Chazy Fall Classic last week. Beekmantown now opens the regular season with a pair of home games against Peru (Wednesday, Sept. 7) and Northeastern Clinton (Friday, Sept. 9), with a road trip to AuSable Valley looming to start the new week Sept. 12.

5. There�s no place like home: In the opening week of the CVAC football season, the home team was a perfect 4-0 — see above, we’re including Ticonderoga in this — as Plattsburgh High, the afore mentions Sentinels, Saranac Lake and Peru all won on scheduled as the team in the non-white uniforms.

The biggest win in this group has to be Plattsburgh High, as the Hornets did away with a losing streak that dated back to the opening weekend of 2012 in scoring a 33-0 victory over Saranac. It has been a work in progress for Patrick Keleher and his squad, but scoring a win on opening night is exactly what the program needed to keep it’s spirits high as they prepare to play Moriah Friday night.
