Royal Winter Pageant on tap in Ticonderoga Dec. 2

Small Business Saturday hits Ti The biggest shopping day for small merchants is coming on Nov. 26

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Big-time holiday shopping isn’t confined to Black Friday and Cyber Monday anymore, because now there’s Small Business Saturday in between.

Saturday, Nov. 26 is the 7th Annual Small Business Saturday, with the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce par-

ticipating in the nationwide initiative as the neighborhood champion to lend support and resources to businesses in the area, Chamber Executive Director Matthew Courtright said.

“This event has been very successful in benefiting the local economy,” he said. “We’re hoping to make this year bigger and better. The day is also used as an occasion to recognize the importance of small businesses and their vital contributions to the economy, job creation, and local communities.”

Trendy Threads Consignment Boutique owner Brandee Jo Goodness said she’s giving 50 percent off storewide for Small Business Saturday.

“I do that every year,” she said “It’s my biggest sales day of

He’s been town historian for 13 years, president of the Ticonderoga Historical Society for 20 years, and is a New York state registered historian.

Because of Fort Ticonderoga and its Lohr significance in the French and Indian McKinstry Writer War and the American Revolution, historical questions come from all over the country.

“You couldn’t believe the requests I get,” Dolback said in a recent interview. “I answer them all. Some take a lot of research.”

He’s secretary for the four town-owned cemeteries, of which three are historic cemeteries.

PORT HENRY – The next to last step to independence for the Port Henry Volunteer Fire Department is complete.

At a public hearing and joint meeting recently, the Moriah Town Council and Port Henry Village Board both unanimously voted to form the Port Henry/Moriah Fire District #3.

The Village of Port Henry is dissolving as a municipality on March 31, 2017, and formation of an independent Fire District is necessary to prevent the fire company from going with it.

“Both boards have to determine it’s in the public interest (to create the district),” Village Attorney Robert Hafner said before the vote.

“We are going to have it exist the day before dissolution, so it can transfer all the trucks and equipment. It will become a >> See FIRE DISTRICT | pg. 20

Royal Winter Pageant coming to Ticonderoga The big Royal Winter Pageant in Ticonderoga will begin Dec. 2

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — This year for the first time the Royal Winter Pageant will include students from 3rd grade through 12th grade in Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Moriah, Putnam and St. Mary’s schools.

Pageant Director Jamie Harrington said the decision was made to add Moriah and Crown Point schools this year.

The pageant is at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 2 in the Ticonderoga High School auditorium.

Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students, and ages 5 and under are free.

Harrington created the pageant six years ago to instill community service and responsibility in the young women who participate.

“The program was designed to teach young girls how to be local leaders by teaching them to be responsible, dedicated, and hardworking, in a team, respectful, and a leader,” Harrington said. “It also teaches girls to have high expectations of themselves, self-esteem, to try new things, sportsmanship and to be optimistic.”

She said the girls attend practices every Saturday from September to December to learn an entrance routine, speak in public, and perform in a group dance routine and talent and flower presentation.

“They also are expected to participate in community service by collecting (returnable) bottles during the pageant and donating half to someone in need, and the other half to the pageant to help pay for costs,” she said. “They also ask for donations and all donations are given to a local organization.”

Over the last six years, the Royal Winter

Pageant has donated $9,713 to help others in the community, Harrington said.

“We have cleaned the bike path in Ticonderoga, visited the (Heritage Commons) nursing home, donated to Angel Connection, Food Pantry, Tiny Tim, BackPack Program, Friends Comforting Friends, SPCA, and Riley’s Wishes.”

They’ve also donated food to the elderly, and to local individuals who were in need.

“The girls get to see how their hard work can help others in so many ways,” Harrington said. “The money they work hard to earn will be given as cash prizes to the winners.”

She said this year the girls are selling tickets for $2 apiece or six for $10 to win a cake

by Cakes By Melissa for any occasion for up to 30 people.

Harrington said she’s seen pageant entrants mature as they entered year after year.

“I have seen girls start the pageant as shy young girls timid to stand on stage and speak in front of the others,” she said. “In the end, they are confident young ladies who know through hard work they can accomplish anything.”

The girls are taught how to be gracious to those who didn’t win and to congratulate

those who did, Harrington said.

“The girls know they worked hard that year but not everyone gets to win,” she said. “They look at themselves and what they have accomplished and are proud of themselves. They come the next year working on the things they need improvement on.”

The pageant is not about beauty, but about hard work and dedication, Harrington said.

“I started a program from nothing and it’s turned it into a wonderful program,” she said.

“I want to get the message out to all of our communities about this wonderful program that inspires our children to work hard and to accomplish their goals.”

Harrington said she wanted to thank the School District, parents of the girls, local

businesses and the community for making the event possible.

She said the participants raised $1,541 this year, which went to Riley’s Wishes in Ticonderoga and the North Country Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal Shelter in Elizabethtown.

“I am so proud of how well-behaved and hardworking they were to raise that much money,” Harrington said. “I hope one day the pageant can celebrate its 25th year and we can say we helped our local girls be great leaders.”

School musicians entertain in town Ticonderoga Central School performers around for holidays

By Lohr McKinstry

Courtright said the chamber is trying to generate more community support for the school’s music.

“The school music department has partnered with us to provide music at local businesses,” he said. “They organize different groups of students at businesses. They’ve worked

with us for the last several years.

“It’s nice to see the community involved with us in that aspect and it brings the parents of the musicians out to the event.”

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Musicians from Ticonderoga High School are strolling around the community this holiday season to spread musical good cheer.

The First Friday event in Ticonderoga will be a music-filled extravaganza this holiday season, with school musicians and choral groups performing in various locations.

The Holiday Shopping and Dining Night on Friday, Dec. 2 is sponsored by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

Ticonderoga School Superintendent John McDonald Jr. said having school musicians playing around the community is great during the holidays.

“It raises people’s spirits,” he said. “It gives the music program good exposure. They get to do things they wouldn’t do in concert.”

Ticonderoga High School music teacher Michael Iturrino said December is always a busy month for the music department.

“For the First Friday, many students as well as adults form ensembles and perform holiday carols throughout downtown Ticonderoga,” he said. “These musicians will not only be providing a festive atmosphere, but also collecting donations for the local Tiny Tim Program. This is the sixth year students have performed at this event.

“This is just the first stop on a long musical winter tour for Ticonderoga musicians and staff.”

Ticonderoga Elementary School music instructor Wayne Chagnon said they’re also going to be active out in the community for the holidays “The Elementary School is happy to announce its return to Heritage Commons (Nursing Center) and the Town Hall for Christmas caroling,” Chagnon said. “The Elementary Chorus is trying to remember ones that can’t get out and around to enjoy the festivities, so we will bring the festivities to them by caroling and handing out some handcrafted ornaments from the students to the residents.”

Ticonderoga Central School music teacher Michael Iturrino directs school musicians as they rehearse for holiday concerts and events. They’ll be playing at First Friday locations in the downtown business district this year.

Reading Night a hit at Ti school Family Reading Night draws crowd at Ticonderoga Elementary School

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Reading a favorite book aloud was center stage for Family Reading Night at Ticonderoga Elementary School.

Principal Elizabeth Hayes said this was the first time they tried holding a reading night, but it’s popular at other schools.

“Families had the opportunity to read stories together, have a tasty snack and pick out a free book,” she said. “It was a wonderful evening to celebrate reading.”

The event was held on Tuesday, Nov. 15 in the school auditorium, with about 60 pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students and their parents attending.

Parents, students and guest readers – three Ticonderoga varsity football players – read from their favorite books both in groups and one-on-one.

“It was a fall reading celebration. Parents came with children, brought a picnic blanket and read to each other,” Hayes said.

“We also decided to invite somebody the students look up to, so varsity football players came with their favorite books.”

The players were Connor Lawrie, Jarod Pike and Evan Graney.

The school provided refreshments, and everyone who came got a free book.

“We looked forward to it,” Hayes said. “It’s the first event of this nature in Ticonderoga. We’re trying to promote reading.”

Take a breath

e’ve seen new levels of passion in the country and around the world as a result of the most recent election campaign.

Now that the campaigning is over and we’ve got a President-elect, neither side seems to have moved out of campaign mode, nor has the media or political pundits.

The conventional thinking throughout the campaign was that this Trump guy would go away sooner or later, Mrs. Clinton would rule the day and life would get back to the new normal for the U.S. and the rest of world. Far too many had accepted the status-quo; it was comfortable and predictable.

But just when the plan was about to fall into place, the American public voted and we got an unexpected, Wednesday morning surprise.

Shock, anger, jubilation, crying, laughter, relief, terror, fear, relief and every possible emotion you can think of suddenly went into maximum overdrive.

David defeats Goliath. Aliens land on earth. The sun didn’t rise in the sky. Name your headline but no matter what you choose, could anything be more unsettling and unpredictable than “Trump wins the presidency?”

Well, take a deep breath. Aliens did not land. The sun did in fact rise Wednesday morning and everyday since. In time we will all come to understand what this presidency will mean for our country and how it will affect our lives and those we love.

President Obama recently spoke about all the fake election news that’s been distributed through the Internet and on social channels, that in most cases were created to produced “click throughs” for financial gain by foreign enterprises, and the affects it could have had on those who accept it as the truth.

Whatever the case may be, we’ve got to understand and accept the fact the political rhetoric, campaign speak and spin should never be confused with actual facts.

When it’s time to compete, best of friends will do whatever it takes to win, but when the competition ends, it’s time for handshakes and hugs. We don’t need referees or umpires. The competition is over.

We all need to step back from the ledge, take a deep breath and allow Mr. Trump and his team a little time to collect their thoughts and transition from campaigning to governing. It’s how our democracy works.

Destroying property, chanting “Not my President,” beating up fellowcitizenswhomaydisagreewith you and refusing to accept what will be, serves no one’s interests.

There’s work to be done and plenty of time to reject and protest what Mr. Trump will do, if you disagree, but first let’s wait and see exactly what his final plans are. Only then can you make an educated decision based on known facts, assuming you take the time to seek out the true facts.

Change is inevitable and totally unpredictable. And that is the only thing we really know about the future.

Giving can be good for the soul W ith the holiday season now upon us, we’d like to shine a light on something called Giving Tuesday.

The national incentive, founded in 2012, is designed to highlight charitable efforts during the holidays, and is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving.

This year, it falls on Tuesday, Nov. 29, just after the litany of other events that have popped up in recent years, including Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

National organizers have created an online directory to help folks find organizations, charities, people and events to which they would like to donate.

Some even have fundraising challenges.

We took a quick spin through the list, and there are a number of organizations across the region worthy of your attention, from youth centers to nonprofits promoting the arts.

Of course, there are many more unlisted local organizations that are not included in the initiative that are also worth your contributions.

You’re probably already aware of them.

We encourage you to set aside some time on Tuesday to engage in an act of selfless kindness — a donation, a pleasant word offered to a stranger, an hour of your time.

If none of those are possible, we suggest a quiet moment of self-reflection.

There is more to our plea than perfunctory positivity.

A 2013 study reveals giving actually has a physiological effect, releasing endorphins that offer a sense of tranquility, serenity and inner peace.

Additional studies link selfless action to stress reduction.

And still others, including recent research by a Cornell University professor, suggest the link between action and happiness is stronger than that of more traditional gift-giving because we identify more with experiences than objects.

All of that sounds pretty good right about now considering the ongoing national discussion, which remains uneasy and tense.

The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau and Pete DeMola. We want to hear from you. Drop us a line on our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, to share your thoughts.

Parent:Ê IÊ turnedÊ myÊ backÊ forÊ aÊ reason UnitedÊ WayÊ seasonÊ nowÊ underway To the Editor: In response to Ms. Hubert and Ms. Martin: It is too bad that you think turning my back on Ms. Seaman was rude — I could not swallow what she was dishing out any longer, so I turned my back to her.

A lot of others thought it was a great thing to do.

I felt it wrong that when Sen. Betty Little, Assemblyman Dan Stec and the other politicians had finished speaking, they got up and walked out. It would seem you were only concerned with my back — not theirs!

When the town board took away the voters’ right (to vote on the assessors issue) in a sense, turning their backs on them, I thought that showed a huge disrespect to the residents of Thurman, by the board. It would seem it all depends on which side of the aisle one is sitting.

Ms. Martin, I have found we have something we can agree on. You said, “the board researches the issues they discuss.” My question was and still is, “Where and when do these conversations occur?”

Everyone can see that this does not happen at public board meetings!

Some on this board have shown they feel the voters have no right to question them! By discontinuing freedom of the floor, they have insulted the people of this town, to which the people have spoken with there votes!

Some people want to speak at public meetings, some may rather seek out board members in a more private setting. Personally, I chose to speak in front of the public, not in the shadows!

If this board were truly working for all the people of this town, they would be listening to everyone that wanted to speak to them, not just to a few select individuals!

To the Editor: I represent the United Way Campaign team for the Adirondack Region.

United Way funds 44 different agencies in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. I co-lead one of these agencies: the Champlain Valley Chapter of the Compassionate Friends. This is a self help bereavement support group for families who have had children, grandchildren or a sibling die. This is run by volunteers only. With the funds from United Way we can send out newsletters, run meetings, host a memorial walk and candle lighting ceremony, and also do other fun events for our members.

The United Way campaign is in full swing this holiday season, and with everyone hustling around to make sure we check everyone off our holiday lists, I would like for you to consider giving a gift in honor or memory of a loved one to this year’s United Way Campaign. holiday shopping is exhausting, so why not save some time and drop off a donation to the United Way office on the Tom Miller Road in Plattsburgh.

There are always gifts to purchase for those hard-to-buy-for people on our lists. Why not give a gift that will keep on giving? One gift will help 44 partner agencies.

If you have already done your shopping for this season, think about other times of the year when you are invited to anniversary and birthday parties, retirement parties and you just don’t know what to get. A gift to the United Way will take the guessing out of what to get them. Imagine how proud the honoree would feel opening a card with a message inside saying where the gift went in their name.

Times are challenging in our world today. Please help our neighbors and together we will reach our goal. Last year alone, our 44 partner agencies helped over 80,000 individuals collectively.

ElectionÊ DayÊ entourageÊ inappropriateÊ andÊ intimidating To the Editor: On Nov. 8, I voted in Willsboro. When I arrived to vote I was surprised by the number of people standing outside of the polls along both sides of the entry. As I walked into the poll, I noticed a few elected Willsboro officials standing outside along with the rest of the bystanders.

I entered and voted and upon asking the reason for the people outside, I was informed Elise Stefanik was arriving shortly to vote. As I exited the polls, she did arrive with her entourage, and all the elected officials and bystanders surrounded her and offered her their encouragement.

The elected officials, regardless of their party, are elected to represent to residents of Willsboro.

To be standing outside an election area awaiting a partisan politician, I find inappropriate and a little intimidating. Years ago, voting was considered a private matter and in some small circles it was even considered inappropriate to vote for oneself.

I would like to be able to walk into my government offices believing regardless of ones political affiliation you would be treated fairly. The living up of elected officials to shepherd a politician into a polling booth does not enhance that feeling.

Reginald Bedell Willsboro

DisappointedÊ inÊ politicalÊ commentary To the Editor: I have read and listened to so many say they are disappointed, afraid and upset about the outcome of the election. I have to agree.

The commentary “A millennial’s perspective” in the Nov. 19 edition made me wonder why the author felt many of her generation were raised by two Democrats. I don’t see the importance, or the fact basis. She also spoke to first time engagement into politics this cycle and the thought that the youth of today are not ignorant.

I welcome your youth, your intelligence and your enthusiasm, but you should know that many disappointments may arise in your political lifetime.

I also politely remind you that the estimated 75.4 million millennials need to realize that there are 248.8 million baby boomers, Gen. X, silent and Greatest Generation individuals that have experienced more than your “first time” pain.

We are still around.

We are upset at times also, but voicing our opinions and voting as well. It is not just about your generation.

I guess a major disappointment is with the “demonstrators” parents, the professors, the teachers, editorials, the columns, the “lame duck” president, the woman who lost and the Bernie that quit.

All of those mentioned demanded Trump stop the “riots” during the campaign. Those same people never called them demonstrations.

Where are you now?

The president, while in Germany, told them to keep it up! Shameful!

Your editorial of Nov. 19 stated: “No, they’re not rioting.”

What do you call it when they smash all the car windows at an auto dealership, light fires and smash store front windows?

Did they know the owners were Trump voters?

You also wrote: “They’re not un-American, and most we assume, are very nice people.”

I am disappointed that no one mentions the loss of property and monetary loss to the innocent Muslim, gay, white or black business owners credited to the “nice American demonstrators.”

Many interviewed claimed to be undocumented, illegals who feared deportation. Those caught smashing private property were students who skipped class, just to skip class and “thrill seekers” who wanted to be “in the moment” with those who got off the bus loads paid to “demonstrate.”

Those nice people blocked innocent people from going to work or getting to a hospital.

One person died in an ambulance not being able to move. Many rioters were ineligible to vote due to citizenship, or age so I blame the parents for not responding and the educators that did not fail them for not attending class.

I blame the media for the encouragement and continued coverage of the violence.

These have not been peaceful demonstrations for the most part.

These same people that want respect and want to be heard need to earn this deplorable, uneducated white male redneck’s respect and if you don’t want the label, I was given, get off the streets and back to class.

Perhaps if those who are so quick to go to the streets did it peacefully without damaging property and without infringing upon ones right to move about freely, I could respect them more.

Regardless of any political outcome the aftermath should be reconciliation and peaceful transition with the winners given a chance to govern.

I recall that your publisher, sometime back, taking a letter writer to task for condemning a newly elected supervisor before that person took office.

It was good advice, I hope all readers and writers can do the same.

Perhaps if those currently in office, those educating and those parenting did more to control the current situation, I could respect them more. For now, I am disappointed.

ToÊ theÊ HillaryÊ haters 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 veterans 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 any man or men have lied to do such a horrendous thing, who?

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

They all lied, and what did you do?

‘Radium Girl’ film hits close to home To the Editor: In 1941, my ma Helen Fieldstadt Phillips worked in a WWII defense plant willing the luminescent pointers for air craft gauges. She wanted to move “upstairs” into the wet radium department as it paid 10 cents more per hour.

But my dad, who was not married to her yet, said “no!”

That simple no saved her from a life of misery. She said that the girls in the wet radium used their lips to keep a point on the brushes.

Every one of them died!

I remember one lived on the Schroon River Road in Chestertown or Warrensburg and committed suicide by eating a can of Drain-o. This was back in the late 1950s.

My ma said her whole night shift would glow in the dark on their walk home. Was from filling the pointers to balance them.

Ma died April 1987 from natural cases.

Editor’s note: This letter refers to the article “Radium Girl movie shot in Lake George,” which appeared in the Oct. 29 edition of the Sun. George Phillips Chestertown

LetterÊ onÊ U.S.-IsraelÊ relationshipÊ misleading To the Editor: As a taxpayer, it is fair for Jim Bullard to entreat Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Mike Derrick to address U.S. funding of weapons for Israel (The Valley News Sun, Nov. 4). Indeed, it is his right to petition government as to how our taxpayer dollars should and should not be spent, or who should receive our aid.

As I have responded in the past to Mr. Bullard in this newspaper (The Valley News Sun, Aug. 27), Israel is the sole stable democracy in the Middle East with its citizens sharing many of our same Judeo-Christian values.

We are fortunate to have her as an ally, difficult as that may be from time to time. Yet, in Mr. Bullard’s letter to which I had responded (The Valley News Sun, Aug. 13) he veered off course from his fanciful hypothesis about a Trump-Putin-U.S. State Department triumvirate to off-handedly snipe that “our foreign policy is already directed by Israel.” In my response I asked him to question his motive for making this gratuitous (and false) assessment.

In Mr. Bullard’s Nov. 4 letter, he ramps up his choice of condescending phrases in regard to Israel — “artificial entity,” “statelet,” “Bronze Age Fairy tales” (I have to assume this is a regerence to the Hebrew Bible) — to show his contempt for the Jewish state. I can see where he’s headed with this.

I look forward to his next letter to the Sun to read news of a world-wide Jewish conspiracy to commandeer the Pentagon, maybe even the banks.

It is an old story, and it would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

When the dust settles, they’ll control a mere 30 of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers. Their incessant losses at the grassroots level have put the Republicans fully in charge of both legislative chambers in 32 states.

That’s a record high for the GOP. Most state legislatures - at last check, 36 - draw the congressional boundaries for 336 of the 435 House districts. If Republicans can sustain their state dominance in the 2018 midterms (bet on it), they’ll keep drawing those boundaries in ways that maximize their voters and minimize the clout of Democratic voters - thus perpetuating their majorities in the House of Representatives. And if Republicans in the years ahead can raise their state legislative dominance from 32 to 38 states, while retaining their congressional power, they’ll be able to ratify their dream amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

This is one of the most underreported stories of our era: Barack Obama’s two wins at the top of the Democratic ticket have masked the party’s down-ballot disasters. In fact, Democrats have been hemorrhaging seats in the hinterlands since the 2010 midterms. Since Obama was sworn in, Democrats have lost roughly 900 state legislative seats and control of more than half the state chambers they ran at the dawn of 2009.

A party can’t build a solid bench if its legs are weak. Hillary Clinton acknowledged this in a 2015 interview: “You see the problems, when we don’t have a pipeline from county commissions and school boards and state legislatures all the way up to governors.

And it has really hurt us...we have just been decimated.”

So what’s the problem? Why have Democrats coughed up so many states - where anti-abortion laws and voter ID laws and so many other pet conservative causes have flourished during the last six years?

Clinton, in that interview, offered one reason: “Democrats are really personality-driven.” In other words, they’re focused on the presidential nominee, they’re top-down instead of bottom-up.

And since many (or most) voters don’t know much about their state legislators, party ID is arguably the most determinative factor. That’s where Republicans have built a big advantage; at the local level, their party brand is better. Fairly or not, they’re viewed as the party of “low taxes” and “pro-business.” Working-class whites view the GOP as the party of the little guy, even though Republicans haven’t done jack for the little guy and job-exodus due to factory shutdowns were endemic under Ronald Reagan.

But nobody ever said that politics is fair. Democrats have long paid insufficient attention to their grassroots races, failing time and again to find the “language that real voters speak in.” So says Democratic activist Jessica Post, who had the thankless task of helming the party’s 2016 plan to win back state legislatures.

In her words, “We have a lot of learning to do about how to go back to our roots...I think Democrats are in for a long period of introspection.”

Can’t argue with that.

EyE On THE ARTS

Let the arts get you through Thanksgiving is here again, and soon the homes of North Country residents will be filled with food, fun, family — and differing political opinions.

It’s a classic scenario: you’re sitting at the table, innocently eating a forkful of your aunt’s pumpkin pie, when suddenly your uncle breaks out in an unmitigated rant about “those people.”

It’s rough — I know. But there’s a way to get through it without spending your entire Thanksgiving meal struggling to keep your eyes from rolling.

Generational divide on display at Boreas Tract hearing Visions of youth, elders clash in third Adirondack Park Agency hearing on recreational use

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NEWCOMB — Scott Remington nearly died in a logging accident on Gulf Brook Road.

On May 25, 1999, the lifelong Adirondack resident broke his neck, back and all but three ribs.

Now in a wheelchair, Remington remains an avid outdoorsman, and even enjoys heading back to the site of the accident, located within the Boreas Pond Tract, the parcel pending classification by the Adirondack Park Agency.

But his future access to the site, once owned by a timber company, now remains in the hands of the state, which is weighing a number of proposals that will govern access to the 20,543-acre parcel.

The discussion unfolded in the literal and figurative heart of the debate last week in Newcomb, just a few miles from the site, which the state purchased in May for $14.5 million.

While nearly 100 parcels are pending classification, the Boreas Tract dominated discussion at the Nov. 16 public hearing, the third in a series of eight planned sessions across the state held at Newcomb Central School.

‘WE ARE THE FUTURE’ Fifty-one people spoke over a three-hour stretch.

While the comments largely followed the familiar contours sharpened over decades of discussions — the state’s legal responsibility for environmental stewardship weighed against access and economic development — a new element has cleaved the discussion along generational fault lines.

Young people lobbied during the public hearing for the most stringent environmental safeguards.

Protecting vulnerable lands are why they are choosing to relocate to the Adirondack Park, they said, reversing longentrenched demographic trends that have seen young people fleeing the region.

But, said their older counterparts, more access is needed for an aging population, including sportsmen, who are chief drivers of local economies.

Over a dozen Millennials spoke on Wednesday, many from SUNY Plattsburgh. They wore green t-shirts distributed at the beginning of the session by a coalition of green groups, known collectively as BeWildNY. The APA has proposed four alternatives which include a combination of Wilderness, Wild Forest and state administrative classifications.

The students rejected all four, instead calling for a full Wilderness protection, a proposal offered by Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, a green group that sprouted earlier this year following the state’s purchase of the tract by the Nature Conservancy.

ROUND THREE: The Adirondack Park Agency is hosting a series of public hearings on the classification of the Boreas Pond Tract.

“This is about if we want to make this a theme park, or a wilderness habitat for future generations,” said Justin Ramos.

While their statements contained their fair share of starryeyed idealism — at least one student spoke of the Adirondack Park as a refuge from “capitalist society” — they also raised more practical concerns geared toward community survival.

It is they, for instance, who are repopulating a region where young people have been leaving for decades, hollowing out the tax base and leaving schools gasping for breath.

The prime draw, they said, is Wilderness.

“We’re talking about the rarest habitat we have left,” said Tyler Socash, citing the Class 1 designation of the parcel’s wetlands, the highest protection offered by the state.

That solitude offers a “psychological intangible,” he said.

Tyler’s mother, Pamela, said this was a chief reason why she and her husband relocated to Old Forge 26 years ago to raise their family.

But the proposals offered by the APA would threaten this habitat, Socash said, which has been flagged by experts as containing a diverse spread of rare plants and wildlife species.

Paired with other ecological features, the site is frequently referred to as a “crown jewel.”

If these communities want to see any type of sustainable future, students said, then they must listen to the young people who are relocating here.

“I moved back to the Adirondacks because the Wilderness is here,” said Samantha Brooks.

So did Lindsay Moats, a Florida native who moved to Saranac Lake by way of Washington, D.C. “I believe I am the future of the Adirondacks,” Moats said.

Tom Collins said he understands the concerns of local economies, having grown up in the Tug Hill Plateau, which is heavily reliant on snowmobiling.

But the SUNY Plattsburgh student said the infrastructure wasn’t in place in Newcomb to support snowmobilers, including gas stations and restaurants.

‘ACCESS IS KEY’ Access the Adirondacks, a coalition of local government officials and sportsmen, largely favor Alternative 1, which would grant more Wild Forest classification.

That designation would allow for the increased recreational uses that will bolster the economy and ensure access to all user groups, including the disabled and aging sportsmen.

The group also opposes any land use classification that disallows access to all, and that facilitates a diverse spread of recreational activities, including snowmobiling, dog sledding, horseback riding and bicycling.

“Access is the key to how we’re going to make these lands productive for the town of Newcomb,” said Wes Miga, the town’s supervisor.

The parcel is also dotted with non-conforming structures, including dams, roads and bridges, making it, by its very definition, not Wilderness, claims Access.

That infrastructure will aid recreation, and is also key for aiding emergency response efforts.

A chief sticking point in the debate is how much of the seven-mile Gulf Brook Road leading into the tract should be kept open.

Under Access’ preferred alternative, the road would be kept open all the way to the ponds.

But advocates for the most stringent classification want the entire road to be closed. Visitors would then have to make the seven-mile hike to access the ponds that form the centerpiece.

“Access is the number one threat to the sporting community,” said Jason Kemper, chairman of the New York State Conservation Fund Advisory Board.

Kemper said he takes offense to the argument access is detrimental to the environment, and degradation of lands has nothing to do with the sporting community.

“You don’t see a bunch of hunters meet up and go sit together in the middle of the woods,” he said.

Fishing and hunting are critical to the local economy, he said, creating annual expenditures of about $5 billion, according to a state comptroller’s report.

License sales generate $42 million in revenue, he said, and federal programs that allocate revenues to the states for wildlife programs have provided an average of more than $24 million a year for New York since 2011.

But the average age of license-holders is nearly 49.

Remington, the former logger, said the road is still in good shape, and should remain open.

“I’ve seen people struggle with mobility,” he said. “I challenge someone to take my wheelchair, and we’ll go up next week, and you can do it.

“It’s time for the state to do the right thing and make it accessible to all,” he said. “I’d consider it discrimination if all these roads were closed.”

A seven-mile hike is too much even for the able-bodied, said Jerry Delaney, Deputy Director of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board.

Delaney twice attempted to walk into the tract, but was prevented by a physical ailment.

“The seven miles is just too much,” he said. >> See BOREAS | pg. 19

Small Business From page 1

cemetery.”

There are War of 1812 burials in Mount Hope Cemetery, he said.

The historic markers in town are being well maintained, he said. “(Father) Isaac Jogues and Mossy Point markers were just refurbished,” Dolback said. “One of my early projects was getting money to refurbish historic markers for Ticonderoga.”

There are eight markers in town, and three signs for the Henry Knox Cannon Trail. During the Revolutionary War, Knox dragged the captured cannons from the forts at Ticonderoga and Crown Point to Boston to be used against the British.

The Knox markers are part of a project headed by military historian Col. James Johnson.

“We’re trying to pull together the military story of the town of Ticonderoga with the historic markers,” Dolback said.

The Ticonderoga Historical Society was organized in 1897.

“In the 1800s, there was clamor about the plight of Fort Ticonderoga,” he said. “That’s why we formed. John Millholland was publisher of the Ticonderoga Sentinel and he talked with (President Calvin) Coolidge, and he had talked with Stephen Pell.”

Church on Wicker Street is participating in Small Business Saturday with sales and free refreshments, co-manager Stephanie Frazier said.

“It’s the time to get your holiday punch bowl, apparel, decorations and gifts,” she said.

At the Thrift Shop that day, all Christmas items will be half price, except for children’s clothing and toys.

The Thrift Shop at the First United Methodist Church has been active in the community for 40 years, the shop’s Betty Rettig said, and their customers enjoy the sale.

“Its mission is to recycle good quality clothing for the whole family, special treasures and household articles at very reasonable prices,” she said. “Our shoppers appreciate our small shop and are amazed by how much they can purchase and still have something left in their pockets.”

She said Small Business Saturday is a unique time when they can begin the holiday season.

“We offer refreshments to our faithful and new customers then,” she said. “It’s open year-round, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and we have been told that the Thrift Shop is ‘the best little shop around.’ The

shop is staffed entirely by very dedicated volunteers.”

At LaChute Books, co-owner Mark Stewart said they’ll be offering 10 percent off on Small Business Saturday purchases.

They expect it to be one of their big days, he said.

“We hope it is; it’s the whole concept,” he said. “It’s usually a big day for us, (although) some people may be tired or tapped out of money (after Black Friday).”

Last year they had good sales on Small Business Saturday, he said.

“I was very pleased,” Stewart said. “One benefit is that people see us that didn’t know we were here.”

Originally started by American Express, Small Business Saturday has really caught on, Courtright said.

“Small Business Saturday is the day we all shop small,” Courtright said. “It’s the busiest shopping day of the year for small businesses, and small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities. They’re the corner stores that create jobs, the retail shops and restaurants that help build our economy, and the momand-pop shops whose presence makes a neighborhood.”

The event starts at 9 a.m. A full list of participating businesses is at: facebook.com/TiconderogaNY.

The concept then was to add the fort, which Pell had acquired from Columbia University, as a new national park. The fort had fallen into ruins and was overgrown at that time.

“Pell was willing to sell it for a national park, for $35,000, but nothing happened, and in 1909 restoration started.”

The fort is now a privately owned national historic landmark open to the public.

The society got started with items received from the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga, Dolback said.

“We have stone (from the fort), musket balls, in the display cases,” he said. “A lot of professional and business people here were engaged in history. They said we needed to preserve historic artifacts.”

Visitors can get private historic tours of Ticonderoga.

“I drive visitors around, show them photo ops,” Dolback said. “I worked on a walking tour of the (Fort Ti) battlefield.”

He also maintains the website and Facebook page for the Historical Society.

“We have 17,000 hits on social media,” he said. “That’s quite a bit.”

Artillery Park boasts a granite and bronze statue of a Civil War soldier donated by Clayton Delano, a former town supervisor and state legislator, in 1916.

“We restored the Liberty Monument, and the Civil War Monument in Artillery Park that Clayton Delano paid for originally,” he said. “We’re digitalizing the information from the Rogers’ Rangers (artifacts) collection.”

Dolback recently conducted a private graveside service for a World War II veteran who was buried in Ticonderoga.

“I’ve done it two or three times,” he said.

He also does a program on the World War II aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga, which continued missions into the 1970s.

“The Ticonderoga recovered Apollo 16 and 17 and Skylab 2,” he said. “We show how the recoveries were made.”

The carrier saw extensive service in World War II, also part of the program, and is the subject of an exhibit in the Fort Ticonderoga Museum.

Ti Legion raffle winners announced TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Sons of the American Legion announced the winners of their 50/50 booster raffle last week. Winners included Dean Kidder, Don Barber Sr., Arnold LaFountain, Courtney Gedeiko, Joe Moryl, Tom Valenti, Sharon Raymond.

County OKs Frontier Town appraisal Lawmakers tight-lipped on future use of controversial parcel

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The county is about to learn how much Frontier Town is worth.

The Essex County Board of Supervisors on Monday authorized the appraisal of one portion of the former theme park at a special hearing.

Initially the county wanted to appraise two parcels. But lawmakers emerged from a executive session with the request whittled down to one, the 85-acre stretch that hugs Route 9.

The parcel contains a number of buildings, including a former restaurant and hotel, that are in varying degrees of decay.

Earlier this year, lawmakers expressed interest in demolishing the structures, but later defeated a resolution to have an engineer examine the roof of one of the motels, citing unknown costs.

Following its closure in 1998, the property has resurfaced in headlines in recent years, most recently when Essex County shot down the sale of the parcel to the late businessman who owns the A-Frame which anchors the property.

Lengthy litigation followed. North Hudson voters, through permissive referendum, stymied plans by the town to purchase the property, which officials have long-eyed as a

venue for economic development, including how it may factor into a 40-mile multi-use trail throughout the central Adirondacks.

The property is the subject of renewed discussion due to its proximity to the Boreas Ponds Tract, which the state formally purchased from the Nature Conservancy last month, and now awaits classification.

The amount of back taxes is now $174,300, according to the county treasurer’s office.

Citing the executive session, county officials declined to discuss their plans Monday, only to say they had been approached about a “project” at the former theme park.

“During the executive session, there were no decisions made,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Ferebee (RKeene).

Essex County lawmakers authorized an appraisal of a large section of Frontier Town on Nov. 21.

Lawmakers endorse Five Towns marketing hub ROOST to create strategy for marketing Five Town region in central Adirondacks

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NEWCOMB — Essex County lawmakers have tentatively approved the creation of a marketing region for a cluster of central Adirondack towns collectively known as the Five Towns.

The project, still in its conceptual stages, would bind together Minerva, Newcomb and North Hudson in Essex County, and Indian Lake and Long Lake in Hamilton County.

Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism CEO James McKenna pitched the idea to lawmakers last week, citing discussions with several business owners in Newcomb.

Efforts would likely tie into those currently underway in Hamilton County, McKenna said, and will not impact the county budget.

“I’m not looking for any additional money from Essex County,” said McKenna.

Ron Moore (R-North Hudson) said he liked the concept of

an Upper Hudson Recreation Hub, but much of the details underpinning future use of those lands is riding on the classification of the Boreas Pond Tract, the parcel purchased by the state earlier this year.

The Adirondack Park Agency is currently holding public hearings across the state to glean public input before the state Department of Conservation determines a recreational usage plan for the property, primarily located in Newcomb and North Hudson.

“That’s the final link that would link these communities together,” Moore said.

The conceptual project joins other efforts underway to link the communities, including a state-sponsored multi-use recreational trail.

Steve McNally (D-Minerva) said after the meeting that those efforts have been underway for years.

“We’re going to try to make our five towns a destination,” he said.

In Minerva, horseback riding elements will be key, he said.

A town-owned campsite is being outfitted to be more equestrian-friendly.

“People will come in the summer,” McNally said. “It’s a nice

place to stay, camp and use as a base camp.”

Wes Miga (R-Newcomb) said diversity is important, and each community will ideally bring different offerings to the table, from mountain bike riding to snowmobiling.

“If we’re all providing the same stuff, we’re not providing differentiation,” Miga said.

Increased recreational offerings has the opportunity to bring millions in tourist dollars to the communities, he said.

Randy Preston (I-Wilmington), the county’s representative for the land use discussions, said he liked the concept.

“I think this is a great idea, and hopefully there’s more things in the future that’s going to tie everyone together,” he said.

The resolution unanimously passed the Economic Development Committee.

If formally approved by the full board next month, the region would join others promoted by ROOST, including the High Peaks, Malone and Lake Champlain.

Each have tailored web properties and destination marketing plans, or detailed visions for how the regions are marketed to both domestic and international visitors.

Boreas

From page 11 ‘IT’S ABOUT MANAGEMENT’ The groups also differ over economic development.

BeWildNY is armed with an Adirondack Council-commissioned study from Clarkson University that revealed property values increase in proximity to Wilderness.

The generation of a new southern access point to the High Peaks would create a thriving economy not unlike Keene, they argue.

But Access disputes those findings, arguing that property values are a poor indicator of a community’s economic health, and says localities should have the control to craft their own futures — including limited use of snowmobiling in select areas, which would aid the winter economy.

A multi-use trail between five central Adirondack communities would also aid in development, believes the group, including former Newcomb Supervisor George Canon, who called the project a “long-time dream” he has fostered over his decades of public service.

“We’re talking about balance,” said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore, who said the plan supported by Access is actually a compromise solution because it does not call for full Wild Forest, and contains a split with Wilderness.

“A Wilderness classification does not allow for that balance,” Moore said.

Moore added a Wild Forest designation does not mean those parcels will be open to all forms of recreation.

Uses will be designated by the state Department of Conservation in the Unit Management Plan, said Brian Towers, President of the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages.

That oversight contains environmental safeguards, he said.

“It’s really not about classification,” said Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber. “It is about the management.”

But Neil Woodworth, President of the Adirondack Mountain Club, disagreed, arguing Wild Forest would lead to a slippery slope in future land use discussions.

“We believe there should have been more alternatives that more clearly reflected different dreams of Boreas Ponds properties,” Woodworth said.

Full Wilderness advocates also shot down arguments of the permanence of the structures, saying there are already signs that nature is reclaiming them, and that much of the now-protected areas of the Adirondack Park were once shaped by man.

Road networks may also act as gateways to invasive species, they claim.

“It deserves a better level of protection,” said Ari Epstein, a Schenectady resident who called roads “reckless and irresponsible.”

Roger Jetty, a longtime Adirondack guide who now lives in Salt Lake City disagreed.

“This is Wild Forest — this is not Wilderness,” he said. “If you want this to be Wilderness, consider blowing those dams off the bat. These are not natural lakes.”

Pete Nelson, co-founder of Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, called the debate “myopic” and said engaging in the same tired retreads was a disservice to both the land and the people who live there.

“I think it’s a foolish debate — it’s a waste of our time,” Nelson said.

“I’m going to advocate for local communities — local communities do not think so.”

Nelson urged the crowd to look past conventional ways of thinking, and explore new possibilities of economic development — like the possible inclusion of Frontier Town into broader efforts.

“Wilderness is the economic hope for local communities,” he said.

‘HEAR US OUT’ AWA co-founder Brendan Wiltse said he hoped local officials would hear the young people out, and not alienate them.

Wiltse condemned a Facebook post allegedly written by a public official that referred to the students as “uneducated brats.”

“I hope the local government will not attack the very demographic that is moving into their communities,” Wiltse said.

Local officials and older attendees said they understood the concerns of the younger generation, but reminded them that their communities continue to struggle for survival.

“I’m not happy with your wardrobe choice, but I’m really happy that you’re here,” said Brian Wells, supervisor of Indian Lake.

“See how we’re struggling to stay afloat,” he said, inviting them to his town, and asking to consider how a Wilderness classification would impact the remote Hamilton County community.

Older speakers also asked the students to temper their idealism with their seasoned advice and experience.

Mike Prescott used to paddle all over the Adirondacks with a pal, who was delighted when the Essex Chain was opened to the public.

But the friend was on oxygen and needed assistance. He never made it in because of access issues.

“He passed away before that could happen, and it’s just a very sad situation,” Prescott said.

To the crowd: “But you’re all going to get older, he said. “Believe me.”

FINAL HEARINGS Nov. 28: Rochester Institute of Technology, Louise Slaughter Hall, Parking in Lot T, Rochester, 7 p.m., Nov. 29: Canton High School, 99 Main Street, Canton 6 p.m., Dec. 7: NYS DEC 625 Broadway, Albany, 2 p.m.

Walt Rushby, 78, said due to replanting efforts by Finch Pruyn, the land actually contains more trees than it likely would have without human interference.

Rushby, a former Moriah supervisor, has been hunting the tract for 30 years through a lease agreement, and once had a camp on Sand Pond Road.

Years ago, he took his mother to Elk Lake. She was 80.

“If you guys had your way, my mother would not have had the opportunity to do that,” Rushby said. “I would like to see the Boreas Ponds, and I’m going to try to be there.”

Due to increased attendance by the general public, the locations for the hearings in Rochester and Canton have been moved to larger venues.

“The APA is very encouraged by the outstanding public participation we have had at the first three hearings on the 20162017 State Land Classification Package,” said APA Chairman Sherman Craig. “The comments we are receiving are very informative. The respectful and civil manner in which people of divergent views are conducting themselves is truly inspirational.”

A fourth session was held in Schroon on Monday, Nov. 21, after this edition went to print.

normal Fire District the day after dissolution.”

The two boards had to appoint the district’s five fire commissioners for the first year, with elections slated to be held the second Tuesday in December 2017 for staggered terms from one to five years. The village was allowed to appoint three, and the town, two of the commissioners.

That brought about some contention, because the Village Board named only one of the three people suggested by Port Henry Fire Chief James Hughes as commissioners.

Appointed by the village were former assistant fire chief Thomas Edwards, and business owners Carl Gifaldi and Frank Slycord. Edwards was the only one on Hughes’ list.

The town named Steve Pelkey and Dwayne Maye to serve as fire commissioners, since

www.suncommunitynews.com

they reside in the south and north end of the current fire protection areas along Route 9N that will be incorporated into the joint Fire District.

Erin Gilbo was appointed treasurer of the Fire District.

Hughes and other firefighters at the meeting were displeased that only one of their three suggested choices had been appointed.

“There’s an element of mistrust,” Hughes said. “I hope we can all come forward for the betterment of the community.”

During the public hearing on the new district, village resident Sandra Lovell asked if the Fire District could decide to build a new fire station and put it on their taxes.

Hafner said a mandatory public referendum would have to be held before anything like that could be done.

The Fire District is a taxing unit that sets an annual budget, with its own tax rate.

The boards also voted to incorporate the

Port Henry Volunteer Fire Department as a fire corporation, which requires another public hearing, set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at the Port Henry Knights of Columbus building.

The boards can sign the consent documents after the hearing, Hafner said, but the action is subject to a permissive referendum that could be petitioned by voters.

“If we are petitioned, it goes to vote, it fails, the Port Henry Fire Department would still form, (but) as a fire protection district that

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

would contract with the town,” Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said.

The other two town fire districts are #1 for Moriah Fire Department, and #2 for Mineville-Witherbee Fire Department.

Village voters decided last year to dissolve Port Henry as a municipal unit, and let the town take over its functions.

The Port Henry Volunteer Fire Department firehouse is on Church Street in the village.

Holiday Train heads for area The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is rolling in again on Nov. 27

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – The brightly-lit Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train is again bound for Port Henry and Ticonderoga.

The train will arrive on Sunday, Nov. 27, at 3:10 p.m. in Ticonderoga and 4:45 p.m. in Port Henry.

“Hopefully, we’ll have good weather and a good turnout,” Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said. “All the food collected goes directly to the Food Shelf.”

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is back for the 18th year to raise money, food and awareness for local food banks and food shelves. People are asked to take a nonperishable food item to the train stop for donation to the local food shelf.

The railroad also makes a monetary donation to local food banks at each stop.

The train is 1,000 feet in length, with 14 rail cars decorated with thousands of LED lights, and a boxcar that was converted into a traveling stage for the performers.

Canadian country artists Kelly Prescott and Doc Walker will be the musicians on the U.S. train this year.

The train will arrive at: - Ticonderoga Amtrak Station, 3:10 p.m.

- Port Henry Train Station, 4:45 p.m.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train arrives during the holiday season last year. The train is visiting Essex and Clinton counties on Nov. 27.

- Plattsburgh Amtrak Station, 7:15 p.m.

- Rouses Point Train Station, 9 p.m.

Every pound of food and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local food bank to help those in need in that community, Canadian Pacific CEO E. Hunter Harrison said.

“For nearly 20 years, CP has watched communities turn out to enjoy a wonderful event while taking a stand against hunger,” he said. “We are proud of the role the Holiday Train plays, but more importantly, we’re proud of the people and families that come

out year after year to help their neighbors. They’re the reason we keep bringing the train back.”

Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Joseph Giordano said he’ll be at the train stop to accept the monetary donation from CP Railway.

“I’m going to go and say a few words,” Giordano said. “I’ll thank everyone for supporting the cause of the food bank. I’m hoping for a good turnout and I want to remind everyone to take a nonperishable food item. At this time of year, it’s wonderful to be a part of this community event.”

He said people should try to arrive early, around 2:45 p.m., because the boxcar stage opens toward the State Boat Launch Site and the train will block the crossing when it arrives.

“We’re thankful of the many blessings we have at this time of year,” Giordano said. “We need to support the many good causes in town.”

Whiskey storage coming soon WhistlePig Whiskey is planning a warehouse in Moriah Business Park

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

MORIAH – The Moriah Business Park could soon be home to a storage warehouse for a whiskey distillery.

A distillery and bottling operation could come later, town officials said.

The WhistlePig Rye Whiskey distillery in Vermont is building a warehouse complex with seven 14,000-square-foot bays to store up to 14,000 barrels of whiskey, Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said.

“They plan to move over here to the Moriah industrial park,” he said. “It will mean some jobs for this community.

“It’s high-end whiskey, $100 a bottle.”

The number of new jobs isn’t set yet, he said.

Scozzafava said the warehouse is phase one, and the second phase is a distillery. Phases three and four are bottling equipment and a possible retail operation.

WhistlePig doesn’t have a retail store at present, but operates a tasting room at Danforth Pewter in Middlebury, Vt. The company has its sole distillery in Shoreham, Vt. now.

The operation started in 2010, when Dave Pickerell, the long-

time master distiller for the Maker’s Mark bourbon distillery in Kentucky teamed up with WhistlePig founder Raj Peter Bhakta, a former contestant on “The Apprentice,” who purchased a 200-yar-old working farm in Shoreham, renamed it WhistlePig Farm and began growing his own rye.

Details Magazine called it “America’s Best New Whiskey,” while the Wall Street Journal named it one of the top five whiskies of the year.

“We’ll be the whiskey capital (of the North Country),” Scozzafava said.

He said the lot at the Business Park in Mineville was cleared, and construction of the building should start in the spring.

WhistlePig Warehouse Manager Andy Purdy said the Moriah warehouse will be used for aging their whiskey.

“We plan to fill casks with spirits for medium- to long-term storage and aging,” he said.

Purdy said they’ve been working with the Moriah Chamber of Commerce to hold a public informational meeting in the future.

“We’d like to give everyone an opportunity to ask questions or voice any concerns they might have about our operation,” he said. “We’d like to put our best foot forward as a new member of the area’s business community.”

The date and time for the session hasn’t been set yet, Moriah Chamber President Cathy Sprague said.

“We want to welcome WhistlePig to our community,” she

said. “This is good news for our area.”

Purdy said they’re focusing on permitting right now, and the community meeting will be held once that’s done.

“As it is, compliance and cooperation with the Adirondack Park Agency and the Essex County Industrial Development Agency have been at the forefront of our recent attention and efforts so we can get the project underway,” he said.

“The good news is that we’re on the home stretch with those efforts, so we’ll be able to focus more on public relations and schedule a meeting for any interested parties.”

RichardÊ Davis PORT HENRY — Richard Thomas Davis, 64, passed away peacefully on Nov. 17.

Richard was born in Altona, PA on April 26, 1952.

Most of his childhood was spent in Saranac Lake and Port Henry.

He served in the USAF during the Vietnam War and was stationed in Biloxi, MS where he cared for returning POW’s at Keesler Medical Center.

Upon discharge from the Air Force he moved to Albany, where he attended HVCC and SUNY Albany graduating with a BS in Psychology.

Rich worked for Albany Senior Services and then spent the next 28 years working at NYS Health Department as a research scientist III. He retired in 2008 and moved back to his beloved Adirondacks and his home in Port Henry.

Rich was an avid golfer, fisherman, Giants fan, and a terrific cook. His greatest legacies will be his amazing sense of humor, along with an infectious laugh, and his dedication to family and friends.

Richard is survived by his beloved son, Rich Davis. He is also survived by his mother Carol Osborne Davis, sister Emily (James) Donohue, his sisters-in-law Suzanne Davis and Dollie Davis; his Uncle Thomas (Mae) Osborne and many nieces and nephews whom he adored. His former wife Margie Davis and Jack Nichols, his surrogate brother and best

friend, remained close to Richard until his passing.

Richard is predeceased by his father Richard Harding Davis, brothers Anthony and Nelson Davis and nephew and godson Kevin Donohue.

There will be a “Celebration of Life Gathering” for Richard in June 2017 at the Moriah Country Club to allow all family and friends to attend and honor Richard’s life.

Donations in Richard’s memory may be made to his mother’s favorite charity, Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital, PO Box 1000 Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38101-9908. To leave condolences for the family or to light a candle in memory of Richard please visit harlandfuneralhome.com.

RichardÊ L.Ê Scarzello STOWE, Vt. — Richard L. Scarzello, 35, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Stowe, Vermont on Monday, Oct. 10, 2016. He was born May 29, 1981 in Burlington, the son of Richard P. Scarzello and Nancy Wotton Scarzello.

Richard was a 1999 graduate of Harwood Union High School in Moretown, Vt. and went on to commence his cooking career as an inspired and creative chef at American Flatbread in Waitsfield, Vt. He then

helped open their first franchises in Portland, ME and then in North Conway, NH where he met his wife Marianne while holding the position of sous chef at The Inn at Thornhill.

Richard and Marianne returned to his home in Vermont where he was currently employed at Harrison’s in Stowe.

Richard loved life to the fullest, whether it was in the kitchen creating a new dish, hiking in the woods, relaxing at his family home on Lake George, target shooting with his brother Tony, or spending time with his beloved wife Marianne and his four-legged companions. Richard’s wide circle of friends and family will miss his bright and shining light among them.

He is survived by the love of his life and wife of nearly 5 years, Marianne Scarzello; his mother, Nancy Wotton Scarzello of Ticonderoga; his father Richard P. Scarzello (Barbara) of Fayston, Vt; brother, Tony Scarzello, his wife Daisy and nieces, Lucciana, Vitalia and Evalina of Northfield, Vt; his grandparents Robert and Betty Wotton of Hague and Green Valley, AZ and Helen Scarzello of Amherst, NH; aunts and uncles, Robin Faraone of Williston,Vt; Donna Wotton of Hague, NY; Sue McManus (Robert) of Warrenton, VA; Steven Scarzello of Haverhill, NH and Peter Scarzello of Amherst, NH; and his in-laws of Bristol, England.

There was a service at the Scarzello family home in Fayston, Vt on Thursday, Oct. 20 at their pond followed by a potluck attended by friends and family from near and far.

A celebration of his life concluded with the lighting of fireworks and a single sky lantern released in his honor. There will be a memorial service at his family’s home in Hague in the summer of 2017. For those desiring, donations to the Lake George Association or the Lake George Land Conservancy in his memory, would be appreciated.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SUBJECT TO PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that at a joint meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Port Henry (“Village Board”) and the Moriah Town Board (“Town Board”), Essex County, New York (together, the “Boards”) on November 15, 2016, the Village Board and the Town Board adopted a Resolution relating to the formation of a Village of Port Henry/Town of Moriah Joint Fire District, designated “Fire District #3” (the “Joint Fire District”).

The Resolution is subject to permissive referendum pursuant to Article 7 of the New York Town Law. An abstract of the Resolution is as follows: The Resolution determined that establishment of the Joint Fire District was in the public interest and authorized establishment of the Joint Fire District effective March 31, 2017. The Joint Fire District will include all parcels of land within the incorporated limits of the Village of Port Henry and properties located north and south of the Village which are currently within the Town of Moriah Fire Protection District, as listed in Schedule A attached to the Resolution.

The Joint Fire District will be a joint fire district until the Village of Port Henry is dissolved and at that time will become a regular fire district under Town Law Article 11.

The Joint Fire District will be managed by an elected board of five (5) fire commissioners. The Resolution appointed the following individuals as the initial Board of Fire Commissioners: Thomas Edwards, Carl Gifaldi, Frank Slycord, Dwayne Maye and Steve Pelkey. The initial Fire Commissioners will serve, until December 31, 2017. Five Fire Commissioners elected at the Fire District’s initial election will serve staggered terms and subsequently one successor Commissioner will be elected each year by the voters of the District for a subsequent five (5) year term to maintain staggered terms.

The Treasurer’s position will be appointed by the Board of Fire Commissioners at their first official meeting.

A full copy of the Resolution is on file in the Village Clerk’s Office at 4303 Main Street, Port Henry, New York, and the Town Clerk’s Office at 38 Park Place, Port Henry, New York, which can be examined by any elector located within the proposed Joint Fire District during normal business hours.

The Resolution is subject to permissive referendum pursuant to Article 7 of the New York Town Law. An abstract of the Resolution is as follows: The Resolution determined that establishment of the Joint Fire District was in the public interest and authorized establishment of the Joint Fire District effective March 31, 2017. The Joint Fire District will include all parcels of land within the

incorporated limits of the Village of Port Henry and properties located north and south of the Village which are currently within the Town of Moriah Fire Protection District, as listed in Schedule A attached to the Resolution. The Joint Fire District will be a joint fire district until the Village of Port Henry is dissolved and at that time will become a regular fire district under Town Law Article 11. The Joint Fire District will be managed by an elected board of five (5) fire commissioners.

The Resolution appointed the following individuals as the initial Board of Fire Commissioners: Thomas Edwards, Carl Gifaldi, Frank Slycord, Dwayne Maye and Steve Pelkey. The initial Fire Commissioners will serve until December 31, 2017. Five Fire Commissioners elected at the Fire District’s initial election will serve staggered terms and subsequently one successor Commissioner will be elected each year by the voters of the District for a subsequent five (5) year term to maintain staggered terms. The initial Joint District Treasurer will be appointed by the Board of Fire Commissioners at their first official meeting.

A full copy of the Resolution is on file in the Village Clerk’s Office at 4303 Main Street, Port Henry, New York, which can be examined by any elector located within the proposed Joint Fire District during normal business hours.
