State says no to PD plan Armory deed prevents police move

Young St. Mary’s School students rush to the front doors of the remodeled school building which re-opened to students Tuesday, Sept. 8, just over one year after being gutted by a fire.

Welcome ‘home’!

A community returns to St. Mary’s First day of school back in building damaged by fire

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — On the morning of Sept. 8, Father Kevin McEwan paced up and down the sidewalk, waiting for the first busses to drop off students.

It’s the same thing he has done every opening day of school.

But this year, it was a different anxiety, with the chance to show students, parents and the community how much the school had overcome in the past 368 days.

“How do you put this into words,” McEwan said as the first bus let out a couple of kids who headed for the doors of the newly remodeled school.

“The fact we are back... It means everything to the kids. It

means everything to their parents. It means everything to us.

“We are home again.”

The road home The quest to return to St. Mary’s School really started in the early morning hours of Sept. 6, 2014, after a late-night fire which started around 11 p.m. Sept. 5 ravaged the interior of the school and blew out a second story wall.

At the time, McEwan, along with school principal, Sister Sharon Dalton, resolved they would return to the building.

Within a day, volunteers and others went to work cleaning Continued on page 5 James Ward looks out the window of his classroom at St. Mary’s School.

Ward, along with other middle school students, spent their past school year in the basement of St. Mary’s Church while crews worked to renovate the school.

State Office of General Services against plan to move Ti police station

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — The proposal to move the Ticonderoga police facility to the

grounds of the former State Armory has been frowned upon by a key state official in the past month.

According to the Office of General Services, the plan to move the Ticonderoga PD to the Armory, as envisioned, would “fundamentally change the principal function and purpose intended” for the property, OGS Commissioner RoAnn Destito

wrote in an Aug. 26 letter to Supervisor Bill Grinnell.

The plan for the Champlain Avenue property has been the source of heated discussions in Ticonderoga in recent weeks. Destito said the proposal to relocate the police facility into a maintenance building on the property was out of step with a section of the deed agreement that transferred control

of the property to the town.

It stated the property is to be used for “recreational purposes.”

Project plans have called for Ticonderoga police operations to be moved from their current home on Burgoyne Road into the smaller maintenance building on the armory parcel. The larger armory building would continue to host senior and youth group activities.

Grinnell said, using his own analysis based off decades in the construction industry and the work of a town-hired contractor, the plan is the most cost effective proposal for the town.

But the logistics of the proposal were not satisfying to the terms of the original agreement, according to Destito.

“While the State Armory building will continue to be used for recreational and senior programs, the relocation of the police headquarters to the 2.24 acre parcel would fundamentally change

the principal function and purpose intended by the use restriction,” Destito noted.

The commissioner added that: “Police activity, including the departure of police vehicles on emergency calls on such a small parcel, in our view, are inconsistent with the current use and would violate the deed covenant.”

She stated she understood the “town’s laudable effort to save the taxpayers money by rehabilitating the existing garage,” but the plan should not proceed as described.

But Grinnell said in an interview the commissioner’s ruling did not shut the door on the project.

“This letter means that we have work to do if we are going to accomplish the project that we recognize as the most fiscally responsible to do,” Grinnell said of his reaction to the correspondence.

One possible solution, Grinnell said, might be to ask state legislators to seek a fix to change the terms of

the property transfer documents. But he doesn’t have any immediate plans to reach out to state lawmakers.

He said town officials will go ahead with a plan to have a non-binding referendum on the proposal on the November election ballot.

For their part, members of a group organized to thwart the plan to relocate the police facility reacted positively to the decision from the Office of General Services.

Joe Giordano, a member of Amherst Avenue Concerned Neighbors, said last week in an interview the state body had taken a stand against a project that was in violation of the use agreement. Giordano emphasized the need for officials to focus on efficient use of tax dollars for all town undertakings, including on water infrastructure and highway department projects.

“If costs are really a driving factor, then that needs to play into every decision we are making,” Giordano said.

and working on the building. Soon, contractors and construction crews were on site to reclaim the former building, which included a new roof and renovations throughout.

Even until the re-dedication mass held Sunday, Sept.

6, and the first day of school, workers were still moving equipment and supplies into different areas of the building.

“At times, you didn’t think it was going to happen,” said Dalton, at times speechless as children flowed into the doorway of the school. “Unbelievable.”

One parent walked by and said, motioning to her child, “a little nervous.”

Dalton replied, “Aren’t we all.”

Back to school “We’re home,” teacher Pam Arzberger said. “We are all so excited to be here and be together.”

During the past school year, students were moved into temporary classrooms, with the elementary school being housed at the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church and the middle school in the basement of St. Mary’s Church.

“It is so nice to be back in a room,” Arzberger said. “We have windows again!”

James Ward, a sixth grader in Arzberger’s class, heard her and walked over to the windows to look outside, something which once may have been taken for granted.

“It is good to be here,” he said.

“I’m back with my school family and we are home,” seventh grader Lorelei Leerkes said. ‘I’m pretty happy it is open and it looks great.”

“It’s good to be back here,” eighth grader Ethan Kerr said.

Bizarre world of politics

.S. Politics is one of the biggest money businesses in the world.

In so many ways the process to gain political influence has no boundaries.

As citizens of this great democracy we would like to think those involved in the business of politics would look beyond petty skirmishes and foolish statements, but that, perhaps, would be expecting too much from those in control of our government and those who seek control over our government.

In the current political climate the race for the highest office in the land seems mired in contradictions. Both party’s leading candidates are doing things that would have been unimaginable in prior elections.

In the past a candidate wouldn’t think of insulting a voting block like the Hispanic population, yet the leading Republican candidate repeatedly does just that.

A candidate would never rope themselves away from the press and refuse to answer questions leaving the talking heads to present their own version of the issue and chip away at the candidate’s credibility, yet the leading Democrat has.

A candidate would never show their face in public if more than 70 percent of the public thought the best one word description for them was “liar” and the second best description was “distrustful”.

When President Obama was elected he was described as a very likeable person. So who would vote for a candidate best described as “arrogant” or “blowhard”� The election is likely to be a referendum on the current state of the American political system. The simple fact that these candidates are still in the race is amazing alone, but to be leading the race clearly shows the nation is hungry for, not just new leadership, but a very different type of leader.

The American electorate is tired of politicians who promise to serve and address the nation’s issues only to end up being more interested in themselves, their party and their own legacy.

Childish behavior has no place in American politics nor in a serious society that seeks to uplift its people and encourage increased participation.

Risks outweigh rewards in oil tanker storage plan A

s if thousands of oil tankers clattering through the North Country wasn’t enough, movement is underway to store them here, too.

A local railway has recently revealed their proposal to shore up their sagging business model: Indefinitely store a fleet of decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs.

That’s the pitch Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis made to the Warren County Board of Supervisors earlier this summer.

Packing the lines with some 500 cars would help the struggling company turn a profit, Ellis told lawmakers. Perhaps even seven figures, a much-needed injection of capital as the company attempts to shore up their struggling tourist transit line.

The concept would actually be darkly humorous if the company, which is part of Iowa Pacific Holdings, wasn’t so earnest about carrying it out.

Oil traffic is already a hot-button issue as fleets continue to ship their payload from North Dakota to downstate refineries.

They do so through some of the most fragile terrain in the country, including on tracks located just feet from Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Boreas and Opalescent rivers.

While first responders and emergency service agencies continue to receive disaster training, all readily admit that a spill would be catastrophic for the region, perhaps even irreversible.

What’s more, the dangers posed by this uptick in train traffic is one of the few issues upon which the diverse crew of stakeholders across the Adirondack Park actually agree, which makes the railway’s plan to create a toxic waste graveyard that much more bizarre.

The proposal also contradicts the state’s vision for the region.

If the plan comes into fruition, these cars, which do not meet current safety standards, will be stored near the tracts of newly acquired state land that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly flagged as a hotspot for economic development and increased tourism opportunities.

Not so fast, argues the railway.

The arrangement would be a temporary one as they examine how to update the tankers, some 500 of them, to meet bolstered safety standards. After that, the tankers would be spirited off the tracks and back into service.

But there are too many unanswered questions: How much residual oil will be left in the trains� Will they be inspected prior to arriving at their destination or afterwards� How many cars will eventually be stored� Will the strategy spread to neighboring counties� Will local municipalities be compensated for the risk�

Will it set a precedent for the storage of additional hazardous materials within the Adirondack Park� Furthermore, the wheels of government move slowly, especially at the federal level, and we have no reason to believe a temporary arrangement wouldn’t take on more permanent tones, especially if the bottom continues to fall out of the oil-by-rail market.

In fact, the tanker storage trend shows no sign of abating as shipments of crude continue to slow in the wake of newly-completed pipelines.

Last month, Iowa Pacific Holdings told Reuters that they predict 50,000 cars will come off the tracks as the new rules are phased in.

While it seems that simply turning these cars into scrap would be the most sensible option, analysts have said it’s an unlikely scenario considering the unpredictability of global energy trends. Companies have little to lose by simply hanging onto them and hoping for a reversal.

Maybe they’ll leak oil, maybe they won’t. But no amount of reassurances and safeguards will negate the fact that creating a repository of tankers is anathema to the Adirondack Park’s identity as a global leader in environmental sustainability.

We respect the fact that the company is in a tough spot. We hate to see local businesses suffering. But aside from tossing the subsidiary of a out-of-state company a temporary lifeline, we see no broader benefits coming from such an arrangement, only risks.

Last week, the Warren County Board of Supervisors tasked their attorney with researching their options, while the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency look into the permitting process.

We encourage our elected state and local officials to sound off against this arrangement, that is, unless they want to be in the tanker storage business.

Such an agreement would only be within the best interests of one group.

And that, we feel, violates the spirit of the Adirondack Park.

Consequences to raising minimum wage To the Editor: There are serious social consequences to a mandated high minimum wage that proponents need to consider other than as just a temporary band-aid fix to the issue of living wage inequality -- whether perceived or real.

As minimum wage battles rage between employees: “A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats” and “Thank You for Courageous Stand on Minimum Wage”; and employers: “The Other Side of Minimum Wage”, keep in mind that there is a whole new generation of “smart” robots in the works just waiting to replace expensive employees. Before smart robot technology, labor could essentially dictate wage demands because companies had few viable alternatives to stay in business. But, now, powerful smart robots are shifting the balance of power.

Think: driverless cars, drones and robotic food servers.

Look at how even early-generation “dumb” robots have transformed business! When employee labor costs became unsustainable because of high union wage and benefit demands, automobile manufacturers replaced employees with mechanical robots to the extent that the newest plants essentially build far better cars far more efficiently than early plants -- with far less labor!

And so it has been for every other business that needed to control labor costs.

Likewise, when employee labor costs become unsustainable because of high minimum wage demands, do high minimum wage proponents expect businesses to just role over and absorb the new employee overhead costs� You can “bet the farm” that smart robot technology will be used to replace employees – and sooner than you think!

Automation has been going on for decades. Early “dumb” robots mainly replaced repetitive assembly line tasks. The difference, however, is that today’s “smart” robots can replace individual employees doing individual tasks that involve decision-making. It’s entirely within the capability of smart robots to do the work of most employees. Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal put the number at 50 percent. I would guess 80 to 90 percent!

With a $15 dollar minimum wage looming, it’s very reasonable to expect to see the first completely automated employee-free fast food businesses in only a few years -- at the most! Will it be McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken or, some startup newcomer� Closer to home (Plattsburgh): How about the first fully automated newspaper� Denpubs, perhaps� With satellite communications, cloud-storage data bases, drones and driverless cars who needs reporters and support staff when smart technology can do all these things� (Not at all a bad idea, Dan!) I don’t want to appear heartless, because I’m not, and just let employees displaced by smart technology fend for themselves -- which is essentially what happens after unemployment insurance benefits run out. Personally, I’ve been on both sides of the fence and understand how hard it is to earn a living in contemporary U.S. Society WHETHER AS AN EMPLOYEE OR AS AN EMPLOYER. As I have stated frequently in letters to this newspaper, I firmly stand by my assertion that it is not the job of American businesses to provide living wage jobs for employees. Mismanagement by government at all levels, of the effects of new smart technologies upon sustainable creation of living wage jobs is causing a serious social problem. It is the Federal government’s job to fix the problems that IT caused, not business caused.

But, that’s the subject of another letter!

Thank You from the Eric Loiselle family To the Editor: Thank you will never say enough to everyone who participated in the Highway Dedication in honor of Sergeant Eric P.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Enough is enough To the Editor: On August 25, the Town Board of Ticonderoga passed Resolution #2732015 to hold an advisory referendum asking “Should the storage building at the Ticonderoga Armory be converted for use for the Ticonderoga Police Department�” Later in the week the Town Supervisor received a letter from Commissioner RoAnn M. Destito of the NYS Office of General Services (OGS) stating that “police activity, including the departure of police vehicles on emergency calls on such a small parcel, in our view are inconsistent with the current use and would violate the deed covenant.” Commissioner Destito concluded that the OGS has “determined that the plan may not proceed as described.”

To persist in holding an advisory referendum in view of the OGS determination makes no sense. It’s time to put the Armory issue to bed and begin serious, practical study of viable options for relocating the Ticonderoga Police Department. The current process has been a waste of time, energy, and money.

Whether you are a parent or grandparent of children participating programs at the Armory, or the child or grandchild of seniors utilizing the property, the Police Department proposal has been unviable from the start. It’s a shame that it took a determination from the OGS to put the brakes on a move that made no sense from the beginning.

I look forward to the Town Board rescinding Resolution #273-2015 for an advisory referendum and moving forward with examining practical alternatives for a desperately needed police department building.

Exciting news at Ti High To the Editor: The Ticonderoga Central School District is committed to providing every student in our school community with all the tools they need to succeed, including providing nutritious meals that everyone can enjoy together. That is why we are excited to announce that we have qualified for the Community Eligibility Provision of the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program, which means that we are able to offer school breakfast and lunch to all students at no charge. All children enrolled in our school can eat free and there is no application required.

We are writing to share this exciting news with you and to ask that you help ensure our meal program is a success by having your child participate in school breakfast and lunch every single day.

We believe participation in the school breakfast and lunch program is important for a couple of reasons. First, we will be able to offer nutritious meals and teach the students the importance about making healthy choices when it comes to their diet. Secondly, participating in breakfast and lunch gives the students the tools to concentrate better, learn more, and saves you time and money at home.

Because we received confirmation of this grant after our school calendars went to print, the application for free and reduced breakfast and lunch was included in the mailing. Please disregard that paperwork as these forms are no longer required.

I hope you will join us and the school community in supporting this great new program by participating in the breakfast and lunch program. Please feel free to contact the school with any questions or special dietary needs.

Get me out of Dodge To the Editor: I have been here seven years designing and building Rustic furniture. I go to auctions and sales. My store is full, every inch with furniture, collectibles and art. I have the best spot in the center of town, with the best landlords possible. They have truly earned a place in heaven for their kindness. I feel guilty coming into my store, I could never pay all the rent I owe. They know my store is dead. In seven years with all the talk of revitalization not one of the self righteous Pompous and Pius leaders have not been in my store, just to be aware of what I do. I don’t know if they should be called Pompous and Pius or Pontius Pilate. I have over $20,000 in inventory, I want out just half of that I’ll leave the music and coffee pot on and I’ll be gone. They say I can’t leave, I’m the anchor, the anchor is on the bottom of the lake. I do love the community and the people, but that does not pay the bills.

Little Bits Defunct words Gordie Little

T

he older I get, the more I realize how many words I grew up with, are no longer in the everyday lexicon. If you take a moment between sips, you will no doubt come up with many names for coffee you haven’t heard in years. Try it: java, joe, mud, brew, battery acid, brain juice, high test and bean juice.

Here’s another word you might not remember: wattle.

I mentioned it to my friend Les, asking him to use it in a sentence. His response� “Wattle you come up with next�” Laura is a former neighbor living in Franklin County. I spotted a photo of a marvelous fence construction in her yard a while ago. It appears to be an eight-foot-diameter circle of twigs woven between and around sixteen upright poles. She referred to it as a wattle and seeing the word in print caused me to laugh out loud or LOL, as they say in text talk.

How this young woman became familiar with such an ancient term is beyond me. My late mother had wattles all over the place. We had woven wattle baskets, wattle furniture and fences. We knew people who built wattle and daub chicken coops.

What ever happened to that perfectly good word� We often called it “twig work.” Our son Bruce worked constructing a fabulous home in Connecticut years ago. He is a twig work expert and built fabulous things at that location. One of the exterior stairways to the second floor was made cleverly inside a huge hollowed tree.

I interviewed a business woman in the High Peaks and admired the twig work railings along the steps and deck to her home. She did all the work herself.

I have likewise seen beautiful wattle artwork. Twig and branch weaving is a great craft. There are so many things that can be used for wattle. A good one is bamboo, especially for weaving a privacy fence. I think we had a wattle bird cage when we lived in Massena Center.

Sadly, I awoke one morning to find a smiling cat and only feathers inside the wattle.

Bye bye, birdie.

Hundreds of years ago, willow was the most popular material for wattle fences. It often took root and sustained itself over time. My mother always had a supply of withies stacked at the back of the shed to make wattle fences for her garden. Oh, yeah, “withy,” is another word you might not recall. Withies are the flexible branches use for weaving wattles.

By the way, the wattle under a turkey’s chin is completely different.

Public hearing set for occupancy tax amendment

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers continued to hammer out some of the wrinkles related to the proposed tax on vacation rental units on Tuesday, including exactly which properties will be exempt.

Answer: All units renting out their facilities for less than 30 consecutive days will be subject to the 3 percent tax, said County Attorney Dan Manning. Those include condos, campgrounds with permanent structures, tourist homes, boarding houses, lodges, convention centers and hunting camps.

The public is invited to attend a public hearing on Sept.

28 at 9:30 a.m. before lawmakers sign off.

It will not create a new bureaucracy, stressed County Treasurer Michael Diskin.

“It’s not a complicated formula,” he said. “The actual documentation to submit the money is very simple.”

Owners of the units will be required to fill out a onetime registration form with their name, address and estimate for how long they plan on renting their properties.

When it comes time to pay up, owners will make a simple calculation.

“It’s the simplest formula you’ve ever seen,” said Diskin, adding that his office will work with those who have questions.

Lawmakers continued to voice concerns that the tax, which traditional hoteliers have paid since 1999, will

hurt families who occasionally rent their cabins out to cushion the blow of their property tax bills.

“That’s how they help pay the property taxes on their camps,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

Essex County Vice Chair Randy Preston reminded the lawmaker that the surcharge is borne by the consumer.

“An occupancy tax has been proven to be no deterrent whatsoever,” said Preston.

Tourism is the bread and butter of the county’s economy, Preston reminded lawmakers. Furthermore, the 3 percent number is comparatively low to other places, like Burlington’s 9 percent.

“If you look at the big picture, I understand the concerns — but it’s not that big of a deal, it really isn’t,” said Preston. “No one really asks.”

In a letter written to the board, Ticonderoga resident John Whiteley said while he understood the cost would be borne by the renter, financial realities often dictate otherwise in a competitive environment.

Compared with Warren and Washington counties, Ticonderoga only has a small slice of the Lake George shoreline, said Whiteley. Not only are those counties without an occupancy tax, but they have significantly lower tax rates overall. That, paired with a larger tax base, gives them a competitive advantage over Essex County in rental pricing.

If the 3 percent tax is approved, said Whiteley, then lawmakers need to show some commitment to avoid boosting it in the future.

Whiteley also called for the exemption requirement to be reduced from 30 days to one or two weeks.

“Doing something fast should not override doing it right,” wrote Whiteley.

Lawmakers approved introducing the amendment to the local law. If the public hearing goes smoothly, the body will pass another resolution approving and accepting it. After that, the full board will then vote.

But future tweaking is possible.

“This simply gets it in the pipelines for discussion purposes,” said Manning.

Corrections Candidates for Jay Town Council will not compete in a Republican primary on Sept. 10 as reported in our Sept. 5 edition.

Republican candidates Harold Akey and Thomas McDonald are running for two four-year terms, while Republican John Sheldrake is running for the unexpired term left vacant by former board member Archie Depo when he resigned to take the supervisor position in June. All three candidates will appear on the November ballot alongside three others, Robert Segall (I), Fred Balzac (G) and Chad Garcia (D).

In Westport, Nancy Page is running for town council, not Nancy Sherman as reported in our Sept. 5 edition.

Rough Francis to bring raw sound, dose of rock Punk outfit to perform Saturday at the Otis Mountain Get Down

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Rough Francis plays loud and dangerous rock and roll, unsafe music that should inspire action and ideas, says the band’s frontman.

“Something that keeps you on the edge of your seat,” said Bobby Hackney Jr. The Burlington-based outfit boasts a variety of influences.

Their sound is like a roadmap that traces out American rock history beginning with the Motown scene. They’ve melded those influences with late-1960s proto-punk troublemakers like the Stooges and MC5 alongside elements of Burlington’s hardcore heyday in the late-1980s.

The result is jittery and unhinged, but also laced with streaks of soul.

“It’s primal rock and roll,” said Hackney, the band’s vocalist.

The quintet is slated to perform this Saturday at the Otis Mountain Get Down in Elizabethtown, a festival gig that comes at the end of a flurry of summertime activity for the outfit, including shows up and down the east coast and recording sessions for a new LP. It’s impossible to discuss the band without mentioning one of rock and roll’s most compelling tales, a family saga that is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring.

In the early 1970s, three brothers started a band in Detroit, quickly taking up the brand of turbocharged rock and roll proffered by local Motor City acts — including, you guessed it, the Stooges and MC5.

They called themselves Death.

Industry heads took notice, but a major label deal disintegrated when the trio refused to change their name to something more marketable.

That was the beginning of the end for Death. The Hackney Brothers relocated to Burlington, released a gospel-tinged record under a different name and eventually moved on with their lives, raising families and performing with reggae outfits on the regional circuit.

Bobby Hackney had three sons, Julian, Urian and Bobby Jr. As his kids started getting into hardcore and skateboarding culture, Bobby Sr. told them he and his brother, Dannis, used to play the same type of music when they were younger (The

third brother, David, passed away in 2000).

The younger Hackeys didn’t believe him.

But in 2008, they discovered some old Death recordings online, their wicks kept alive by obscure record collectors, and were blown away: Death was punk before the term even existed. Their dad and uncles were punk rock progenitors. And very few people even knew about this long-forgotten strand of music history.

Armed with a 1974 demo plucked from their dad’s attic, the younger Hackneys helped drum up interest. Drag City issued the recordings in 2009. That release, paired with a criticallyacclaimed 2012 documentary, “A Band Called Death,” has led to a full-scale revival.

Hackey admits that it can often be tough escaping from under his famous family’s shadow.

“It’s kind of weird situation,” he said.

In certain circles, people don’t know about Rough Francis’

background and story. In others, people know who they are because of the family connection. And still others find about Death by way of Rough Francis themselves, explained Hackney.

“That sweetens the deal for fans,” he said. “They like us even more because we’re related to them.”

All in all, the ride has been awesome, said the singer.

Saturday marks their first time appearing the Otis Mountain Get Down, which is now in its third year.

“We’re really excited they wanted us to play,” said Hackney.

ABOVE: Burlington-based punk outfit Rough Francis are scheduled to perform at the Otis Mountain Get Down in Elizabethtown on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 10:30 p.m. In addition to turbocharged riffs, the quintet brings a slice of rock and roll history.

Visit historic White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths. White Pine Camp is an Adirondack Great Camp on Osgood Pond. It served as the Summer White House for US President Calvin Coolidge from July 7 through Sept. 18, 1926.

Adirondack Great Camps like White Pine Camp are grand and fanciful log mansions, built in the latter half of the 19th century along the rugged lake shores or mountain sides of upstate New York. It was a time when cities were expanding and the natural world seemed too far away. The foremost families of the era — including the Coolidges — needed an escape, and suddenly found they had a yearning for wooded retreats of great but rustic comfort.

Wednesday tours are offered at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at White Pine Camp from June 17 to Sept. 30. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children. No reservations are required. Call 327-3030 for more information.

Essex County lawmakers take wait-and-see approach to tanker storage plan

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers said Tuesday they need more information before sounding off on the Saratoga & North Creek Railway’s plan to store a fleet of decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs.

“We’re kind of waiting,” said Essex County Chairman Bill Ferebee.

Earlier this summer, Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis briefed the Warren County Board of Supervisors on the company’s plan to store a fleet of tankers on a section of tracks pending safety upgrades that are now required by the federal government.

Last week, that board opted to table the discussion following feedback from the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency.

Assemblyman Dan Stec, who was present in Elizabethtown on Tuesday to brief the board on recent activities, said he was unsure if legally, municipalities even have a say on the railway’s plan.

“I’m not really clear if a local government has a role or not,” said Stec.

It was presented to Warren County more as a courtesy, he said.

While Stec said his initial reaction to the proposal was one of discomfort, it may be premature to flat out reject the idea.

He added that he would like to see the railway, which is owned

by Iowa Pacific Holdings, succeed.

The lawmaker said he had several unanswered questions, including those related to security, visual impact and the ultimate fate of the tankers, which may never be put back into service.

“Local government doesn’t have enough information to say if we like it or don’t like it,” said Stec.

Ellis told Warren County lawmakers that the measure may bring in seven figures for the company, which is struggling to

turn a profit.

It remains unclear where the tankers would be stored.

Ferebee said he looks forward to discussing the issue further with Newcomb Supervisor George Canon, who was not present at the meeting.

The combination of new pipelines and more stringent safety measures has led to the glut of unused cars.

Numerous environmental groups have come out against the proposal, including the Adirondack Council.

A change.org petition has already garnered 7,578 signatures against the measure by the time this story went to print on Tuesday.

Schroon town hall expansion planned Proposal would update facility with more library and court space

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — A major expansion of the Schroon Town Hall could pave the way for new amenities in the library, relieve congestion in town court and improve efficiencies across the entire government, according to Supervisor Michael Marnell.

“This will make it a lot better,” Marnell said of the proposal during an interview last month.

At their meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept.

14, town board members are expected to vote on whether to move forward with the project to expand the town hall facility by approximately 2,500 square feet.

Marnell said he was confident board members would vote to advance the proposal. He said additional details about financing and constructing will be rolled out in the next few months.

Officials hope to be able to tap state grants to finance a portion of the project. Marnell said he anticipates roughly half the project

could be paid for with grants, and the other half by the town.

Marnell said, “a slight increase” in the town’s property tax levy would likely be part of the financial plan.

“It will be very minimal,” he said.

Talks on updating the facility have been ongoing for many years. The two-story brick structure at 15 Leland Ave. was opened in the late 1970s.

As Marnell has seen, space can get cramped in many areas of the building such as the Schroon Lake Public Library on the second floor.

The facility, which draws thousands of visitors each year, provides in-demand resources like wireless Internet, DVDs and community newspapers. Patrons include retirees, students and job seekers from communities all over the region.

Additionally, Marnell noted there have been congestion issues in the town court on the first floor. At points, attorneys and clients struggle to find space to meet.

“There are people standing in the hallway waiting to get into the courtroom,” Marnell said.

Rural schools focus of upcoming forum in Schroon Lake

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — Officials at the Schroon Lake Central School have planned an evening of events focused on issues affecting rural schools on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

At 6 p.m., a tour of the school and a discussion on community partnerships will take place; then at 7 p.m., a presentation will be held on the challenges facing rural schools and rural communities.

The event will feature two guest presenters with insights on the education topic. John Sipple, who is a professor in the Development Sociology department at Cornell University, will talk with the group. Sipple’s research has focused on the responses of public school districts and communities to changes in state and federal policy. David Allan Little, executive director of the Rural Schools Association of New York State, will be the other presenter.

The event was spearheaded by a group led by Schroon Lake school board president Robert Claus, according to Superintendent Stephen Gratto. This and other future programs will aim to help educate the larger community about issues facing the district, Gratto said.

“I think it will be a pretty interesting evening for all involved,” he said.

Flat start dooms Hornets against Moriah

By Keith Lobdell

game, but we need to step up bigger as the season goes along,” Harris said.

“Our run blocking was better than I expected, but we will continue to work throughout this week,” Tesar added.

For the Hornets (0-1), a trip to Saranac Lake, a 16-12 winner over AuSable Valley, is ahead Saturday, as the team will look to live up to the expectations of its coach.

“We are better than this,” Keleher said. “We have some good, talented young men here.

We will get back to the drawing board and keep working to change the culture and get the old ghosts of the past out.”

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — A slow start by the Plattsburgh High football team on the opening weekend of Champlain Valley Athletic Conference play gave the Moriah Vikings the space they would need for a 37-6 victory Sept. 4.

“I thought we would play better,” head coach Pat Keleher said. “I was disappointed because we looked intimidated. There was a lack of effort early. We did expect youthful mistakes but we made a lot of mistakes we did not make in our scrimmage.”

Early on, the Hornets could not find an answer to Moriah’s Adam Jaquish, who scored the first two touchdowns of the game, the first coming on a two-yard quarterback sneak and the second coming on a tipped pass by Jaquish, which he pulled in for an interception before rumbling 45 yards for the score.

“We prepared and wanted to attack Jaquish, but we would retreat on the line and he would hang back and at 6’7”, he has the height and jumping ability to make those plays.”

“Adam made some plays early,” Moriah coach Don Tesar said. “He was able to make a couple tips at the line early and at 6’7”, he is able to get his hands up and take one back for six.”

“It is easier to read those plays with my height,” Jaquish said. “Coach always tells us if we are not going to get to the quarterback then get your hands up. Even though we had a score, I thought it was a big play and it loosened us up as a team and things really started moving after that.”

Jaquish finished with the two tips and interception on defense, while going 7-of-13 passing for 122 yards and a touchdown pass to Jarrod MacDougal while carrying the ball twice for two yards and a score.

The Jaquish touchdown run was set up by a 53-yard run by Colin Harris, part of a nine play, 81 yard drive which got the Vikings on the board for the first time.

“I saw the hole open up and was able to get there,” Harris said. “I knew we needed something to get the team fired up and it really got things started for us.”

limits for fish, fowl, game as well as the free wild foragibles, and you’ve got the best outdoor deal in the country!

Be advised that small game hunters seeking grouse or red squirrel prior to October 1, will need to have a current year, small game license. Likewise, bear hunters and early bow hunters must have a current year’s tag if they intend to hunt during the Early Bow season which begins on September 27.

The new system which will allow hunters to be in the woods from September 1 through August 30, will not permit hunters to carry over unused tags from last year’s season as it has in the past.

barrels and what-not. There is no doubt the change is difficult, especially for those who must experience it in their own front or backyards. However, rivers can be very dynamic, as most North County residents know all too well, especially in light of the 500 year floods that have swept through the area in recent years.

With the dam removal, the river will eventually return to a natural state over the course of time. It has been flowing out of the Dix Range, in the High Peaks for eons and there is nothing mankind can do to stop it. Downstream of the dam site, the new water levels now allow visitors to inspect the ancient bedrock, where unique geological features such a ‘auger holes’ can be found. Dipping into the base of an auger hole will provide handfuls of smooth, round rocks that have been polished over the centuries.

While it is obvious there is much more work yet to be done on the site, I expect the project will eventually prove to be of great benefit to the community, the fish and the wildlife. It will be interesting to watch the various stages of the natural recovery process. I do hope plans include aggressive efforts to restore native vegetation along the newly exposed river corridor, before the current mud flats are overrun by an invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed, which has already choked off several sections of the river and a few of the smaller tributaries.

Downstream of the old dam, the river appears to be rehabbing quite well, although there is obviously much more work to be done in the ongoing effort to clean up the remains of the former industrial infrastructure that has been around for over two hundred years.

Hunting & Fishing: Autumn on the rise

O

utdoor enthusiasts recently had an opportunity to enjoy some of the best weather available in the Adirondacks over the long, Labor Day weekend with blue skies, a warm sun and a gentle breeze making for pleasant outdoor travels. The trailheads were packed with hikers and it seemed there was a canoe or kayak atop every other vehicle on the road.. The waters were still warm enough for swimming, and cool evening temperatures seem to have taken a toll on the flying insects.

The hillsides are already providing evidence of autumn, as signs of fall color can be found from the bogs to the summits.

Brook trout are already sporting their bright crimson spawn garb, and I expect salmon will soon be getting ready for their annual, fall spawn run.

It will be very interesting to see how the salmon season shakes out on the Boquet River in Willsboro, following the removal of the old mill dam. For decades, salmon from the Big Lake have ventured upstream on their annual spawn run in their efforts to find suitable spawning beds.

Unfortunately, their annual trek has been hindered over the years by a variety of obstacles, ranging from low water levels, old dams and small armies of rod bearing anglers. Although there have been a variety of measures implemented to assist salmon with their annual upriver journey, including the development of a fish ladder; the majority of the silvery spawners were doomed to languish in a single small pool located about a 100 yards downstream from both the dam and the fish ladder.

Earlier in the week, I took a ride over to Willsboro to see the results of the dam removal. I was surprised to see the extent of the resulting mudflats, as well as the significant reduction in water levels. On the day of my visit, the sun was brilliant, and the birds seemed to be having a field day feasting on the mussels, crayfish, minnows and a variety of other unfortunate creatures that were exposed by the diminished waters.

Downstream of the bridge in the middle of the village, the river appeared to be less than half its normal width. The mudflats extended upstream above the bridge, and beyond the firehouse, where former rapids appeared to be just a pile of boulders. While it is surely difficult for residents of the community to see their old river in such a disheveled state, it must also be exciting. There is already a small archeological display, where local residents have dragged the remains of a few old vehicles,

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

With the river corridor restored to a more natural state, the Boquet River may soon host a fresh run of landlocked salmon that will have the ability to migrate for many miles upstream during their annual spawning run.

Licenses and the new hunting season If you have not yet purchased your annual hunting and fishing license, you’re in for a real surprise. As the fishing begin season to winds down, and the prospect of hunting season looms on the near horizon, it is time for sportsmen, and women to purchase a new license. Due to the recent restructuring of the DECALS (DEC’s automated licensing system), the new license year for hunters began on September 1 and it will end on August 31 of 2016.

The new license structure which began on February 1, 2014, changes the types of licenses available and the fees associated with those licenses. These changes include reduced fees, reduced number of licenses and if you usually purchased a combination licenses, like a Super Sportsman, you will now have to purchase each privilege separately, including fishing.

It seems that just when we had finally figured out how to get the best deal on a combined hunting and fishing package, the rules were changed.

However, it is important to remember NY State still offers one of the best bargains in the country, when it comes to hunting, fishing and outdoor adventures. Where else can you legally set up a camp on state land for four months of the year, without paying any rent� Only during the hunting season!

Combine the free camping with some very generous bag

Schroon shop gives town staffers hot dogs

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — For Gail Simon and Steven Cass, the people who help Schroon Lake tick all summer long are the sweetest ingredient to complement an Adirondack summer.

And so, to honor those employees of the town of Schroon, Simon and Cass, who operate Dock Street Dogs along the community’s lakefront, held a free luncheon Tuesday to honor all the staffers of the Essex County community.

“They’ve been working hard all summer -- and we’d just like to do something for them,” Cass said.

It was a tasty lunch of free meats, rounded off with wonderful camaraderie. Although the local business coordinated the afternoon dining event for town employees in conjunction with its last full day of business, Cass said the business will have operations online for the Adirondack Marathon later in the month and he is confident the shop will be back up and running in 2016.

Dock Street Dogs marked its second year as a member of the Schroon Lake business community in 2015. The purveyor of tubed meats and other tasty items has quickly become a community staple that employees and beachgoers have gone to for convenient lunches.

But the goodwill towards the community will not cease with the withering of summer. Simon and Cass planned on donating hot dogs to the group that operates the concession stand for Schroon Lake Central School basketball games.

“We feel like it’s our job to try and enhance the beach experience and Schroon Lake, “ Cass said.

FCC announces service CROWN POINT — The First Congregational Church, Brick Church in the Park, invites the community to join them this week Sunday, Sept. 12, for Sunday Services at 9:30 a.m.

AES Northeast assists St. Mary’s in re-open PLATTSBURGH — AES Northeast is proud to be part of the strong community-wide effort to get St. Mary’s Catholic School ready for the first day of school. After a devastating fire last Fall, the school is opening for the 2015-2016 academic year.

“We’re happy to bring this project in on such a short timeline, but it was about more than just getting it done quickly for us,” says David Whitford, RA, member of AES Northeast.

“The renovation includes energy efficiency updates, improved accessibility to the second floor, state-of-the-art safety and security systems, new wiring and a new roof. In addition to rebuilding the parts of the school that were damaged by fire, we were able to give the school some new efficiencies like high-efficiency florescent lighting and an improved thermal envelope,” explains Nathan Bull, PE. “Our approach to design and renovation projects is to think long-term for our clients.

NYSCA Grants seminar planned

NYS Safe Boating Course slated

TICONDEROGA — The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) State and Local Partnership Division administers an annual re-grant program that helps to ensure access to arts and culture in each of the 62 counties of New York State.

The 2016 Adk Quad-County Cultural Arts Grant Seminars will be held in Essex County at the Downtown Gallery Monday, Sept. 14, at 6:30 p.m., and Wednesday, Sept. 23, at Keene Arts in Keene at 4 p.m.

Adk Quad-County Cultural Arts Grants are available for non-profit and cultural organizations as well as to individual teaching artists partnering with public schools in the four counties for the purpose of arts education in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, and Hamilton counties.

The Adk Quad-County Cultural Arts Grants process begins by attending one of the many grant-writing seminars that are scheduled throughout the four counties. The seminars in Essex County will be led by either Kathy Recchia who will explain the program, answer questions, and provide application assistance. In order to receive grant funding, potential applicants are required to attend one of these seminars before completing the application. The seminars are free and open to the public. There is no commitment to the seminar other than attending. But all applicants must attend a seminar or arrange for a consultation with the Grant Coordinator–no exceptions—in order to apply for funding.

Pre-registration is required by calling 708-3606 or emailing kathy@adirondackarts.org. The deadline for submitting 2016 grant applications is Wednesday, Oct. 26.

construction budget but what will it cost to run and maintain the building for the foreseeable future,” Bull further explains.

St. Mary’s Catholic School was built in 1959. The fire revealed asbestos that had previously been encapsulated. Once it was disturbed, it had to be removed, adding to the scope and cost of the renovation project.

Whitford points out, “The opportunity to build in improved accessibility, especially to the second floor, aligned this old building with more modern educational practices.”

Updated wiring supports a more flexible use of technology in the classrooms and safety and security systems that were not available when the school was originally built.

“It was amazing to see this community come together for St. Mary’s School, but this is the type of community we work with here in the North Country,” admits Bull. AES Northeast is a regional architecture, engineering, and land surveying firm headquartered in Plattsburgh.
