NORTH ELBA Ñ Three people are dead following a fiery single engine plane crash on Saturday, July 19.

New York State Police were advised of the crash off River Road in the town of North Elba around 10:39 a.m. The Lake Placid Fire Department responded and extinguished the flames.

Lesley Trevor, owner of Snowslip Farms where the plane went down, told the Valley News she was working in her barn at the time.

“I heard a loud thud and went running out,” she said.

The aircraft landed 300 feet away, between her hay and horse barn.

Within seconds, it was engulfed.

Emily Trevor, 22, her daughter, called 911. The flames trapped four horses in the pasture. Emily rescued them.

Lesley recalled a crash on the property

ESSEX — The lakeside town will host its 35th annual Downtown Essex Day Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“It’s a tradition,” said Donna Lou Sonnett, charter member of Essex Initiatives, the community group sponsoring the event. “It’s actually the highlight of our summer in town. A lot of people look forward to it. Some people plan their vacations so they are in Essex for Downtown Essex Day.” Downtown Essex Day was started by a handful of residents who wanted to spice up the last month of summer.

Back then, folks made pies, cookies and ice cream. Artists and furniture makers pulled things out of their attics and sold them to their neighbors.

Musicians sat on their porches and played for anyone who would listen. It was an oldtime market day that has been held every year since.

“It’s like our Black Saturday,” Sonnett said. “Essex Day attracts a lot of people from both Vermont and an expanded area in New York.”

This year more than 50 exhibitors will assemble on Main Street and the Town Hall lawn on Route 22. Once again, exhibitors and shopkeepers will offer just about everything you want, made with a personal touch.

The event will offer homemade pies, local farm products, crafts, jewelry, collectibles, antiques and local artwork.

Music lovers can hear Joan Crane, local blues musician, play from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. near the post office. Visitors will enjoy seeing the stately Federal and Greek Revival houses that placed the hamlet CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Willsboro raising funds for a new community pavilion

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Local officials have begun fundraising efforts to raise capital for a multi-use pavilion at Gateway Park that they say will help attract more local commerce to the area for outdoor events.

The town received a grant from the state’s FreshConnect program and need to come up with a matching portion from the private sector.

Altogether, they estimate a $20,000 price tag.

Vendors currently showcase their wares — produce, crafts, agricultural products — under a tent.

“We want to have a better facility to attract more people,” said

Supervisor Shaun Gillilland at a fundraising event last week designed to boost awareness. “They could use it for yard sales, gatherings or other community events.”

The town aims to start construction this fall using skilled carpenters and builders from the local community.

About $8,000 is still needed after local businesses, including Serkill, a Lewis-based waste management company, and the Adirondack Farmer’s Market Association, kicked in $1,000 each.

Gillilland said the pavilion ties into a comprehensive plan for the town and would act as a community anchor. He envisions a recreational trail system and possibly taking down the treeline to afford sweeping views of Lake Champlain.

Racey Bingham, proprietor of the Reber Rock Farm in Essex, displays the farm’s offerings every Thursday at the town’s farmer’s market. A pavilion, she said, would be an improvement over the Willsboro is raising funds to construct a pavilion at the Gateway Park, a structure that current tent.

Soundwaves creating waves in the community of Westport

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com WESTPORT — Soundwaves is creating waves in this lakeside community, motivating people to the shore of Westport to listen to music coming from Ballard Park, music set on helping Westport and all of the Champlain Valley.

“It’s a great way to spend time outside with family and friends in a beautiful setting while enjoying a sense of community, not to mention the music, which is on a par with the world’s best music festivals,” said Taylor Haskins, co-organizer of the Soundwaves community summer concert series.

‘SOUNDWAVES CONCERTS’ Soundwaves is a community summer concert series on the shores of Lake Champlain that hosts a variety of musicians at Ballard Part in Westport Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m.

This summer, Taylor Haskins, along with wife and co-organizer of the series, Catherine Haskins, has curated a program of eight performances by internationally renowned artists that are musically on par with the best summer festivals.

Despite Taylor Haskins’ jazz background, this summer he and his wife will bring to the stage diverse variations on world music, folk, bluegrass, classical and jazz.

“When Taylor stepped up to be the volunteer organizer for the Ballard Park community concert series, he was filling the void that was created when the North Country Arts Council was absorbed by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh in 2012,” Catherine Haskins said. “The park had a vision for continuing the series that is now in its 19th year but needed a new leader.”

The summer series began July 3 and ends Aug. 27 on the hillside amphitheater overlooking Lake Champlain, known as the Ballard Park Performance Pavilion.

So far, Taylor Haskins featuring Ben Monder on guitar with the Meadowmount School of Music String Orchestra has performed along with Ryan Montbleau and Barika.

The performances to come starting this Thursday, July 24 consist of Samuel Torres and Manuel Valera, Meadowmount String Quartets, Joe Brent and Sara Caswell’s “9 Horses,” Michael Chorney and Hollar General, Jason Lindner’s “Super Future Griot” and Rebecca Martin and Larry Grenadier.

The concert is free, but donations are appreciated. Bring blankets, lawn chairs and a picnic. The rain site is across Route 22 in the historic chapel of the Westport Heritage House.

has been running for 19 years.

“When the outcome of the ‘economic revitalization strategy’ was announced last November, one of the three main suggestions for Westport was to focus on an ‘arts-based economy,’” Catherine Haskins said.

“When Taylor and I heard the results of this report, we felt as though the town was speaking to us.

“We dreamed of filling this gorgeous hillside amphitheater overlooking Lake Champlain with people and music.”

In the fall of 2013, having lost the guidance of their longtime neighborhood arts organization due to a New York State funding redistribution, Ballard Park approached Taylor Haskins about curating this Barika performing at Ballard Park in Westport July 17 for the Soundwaves summer concert series.

I took Ginny downtown to visit her elderly Samoyed friends, and we all went for a late afternoon walk around the hamlet. I was surprised and delighted by all the flower gardens we saw, and I am thankful to the hard working flower growers in our midst. The strong low slanting sunlight caused colors to really pop, making for a most pleasant stroll.

I’m trying to solve a mystery. Whenever I get attacked by wasps, deer flies and other biting insects, they invariably go for the back of my left hand. Taking in laundry from the clothes line last week, I upset a new nest of wasps who only stung my left hand. Our friend, the wise biologist, thinks my hand emits appealing hormones, but I don’t think that’s the whole story.

Stay tuned.

he small communities in the North Country are so blessed to have the services of our local fire and emergency services. Keep in mind these are not paid jobs, these are volunteers giving their time and help.

These last eight to 10 days here in Willsboro, our squads have been called out numerous times on all kinds of emergencies and they respond so quickly. So I ask that we do not forget to send our thanks out to them, and when possible, reward them with money donations to help with their expenses.

The Paine Library Folk Craft Fair is coming up on Sat. July 26 from 10¸to 4 p.m. up on the Point Road soccer fields. I so fondly remember that some 35 years ago, Gretchen and Dale Boardman came to me in the Library and told me they wanted to take me to a nice little hometown craft fair in Vermont. They did and we decided to work together to start our own special fair. We enjoyed seeing it grow over the year and get so big it had to be moved. Who would have guessed that here we are at the 32nd year of having this fair?

They are welcoming anyone that would like to donate funds to help.

Essex County prepares for next tax sale

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Following the fireworks generated by the tax auction earlier this year, lawmakers and county officials are working to ensure a smooth takeoff for the auction slated for this fall.

The players: County Clerk Joe Provoncha, County Attorney Dan Manning, Treasurer Mike Diskin and a handful of town supervisors.

“I know the county doesn’t do an excellent job with the owners who are delinquent who are about to lose their properties,” Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington told officials last month. “We also need to know that the county isn’t going to get themselves in a situation like in the past.”

Harrington said it’s costly for the county to let delinquent properties stack up. Revenue can’t be generated and neighboring property values plummet.

“The value goes on a downward spiral,” he said. “I want the three agencies involved with the sales to be aware of the timeline that has been established. They all have a goal to meet the timeline.”

Earlier this year, officials said they hoped to hammer out auctions on a regular schedule.

Harrington said the board needs to ensure smooth communication within the three departments that facilitate the sales.

“If there are any glitches in the system, and if assistance is needed, then we need to deal with that. We can’t allow ourselves to put ourselves in a pit again.”

While Harrington couldn’t give an exact figure on how many tax-delinquent properties there were in Crown Point, Diskin said the town had just a single property slated for sale this fall. Nine were auctioned off at the last sale on April 30.

CLERK’S OFFICE “I totally agree,” said Provoncha. “We do need to work together.”

The clerk said the agencies have a smooth relationship and have wrapped up work on the 2009 properties. They are almost finished with 2010 and starting on the 2011s.

Provoncha reminded lawmakers on Monday that the process starts when Manning, acting on behalf on the treasurer, files a delinquent tax list and starts a civil action that tells parties what properties are in jeopardy of being foreclosed upon.

Tax sale searches will determine if there are liens or judgements against the property. Deeds are examined and the subsequent info is digitized and zipped off of the other offices, who will then notify the owners of the situation.

“It’s the law that they need to be aware that their interest in that property will be extinguished if they don’t pay their taxes,” said Provoncha.

91 PARCELS “We’re done with 2009 and ready to go,” said Diskin. After getting an order, his office anticipates an early-fall auction date.

Currently, 91 parcels are on the block.

A minimum of 90 days is needed for the process, said Diskin, which puts 2010 out of the realm of this year.

After that, his office will turn the list of properties over to an auction company.

Owners have the opportunity to repurchase up to 14 days before the sale.

April’s auction dispensed of 105 lots worth $1,465,618.69. The bids received on the parcels clocked in at $988,990, which resulted in a net negative of $476,628.69, according to Haroff, the firm that brokered the auction.

Several other parcels, including two in Schroon, were removed for easement purposes. Four others were removed from owners who hadn’t paid back taxes. The county is the process of contacting the back-up bidders to see if they’re still interested, said Diskin.

On Monday, he gave lawmakers a list of the 91 properties scheduled for sale.

“If you see something that strikes your fancy, pick one out and let us know before we turn them over to the auctioneer,” he said.

‘THEY HAD NO RIGHT’ Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said he was upset that the county didn’t have a way to prevent bidders who already owe taxes from bidding on more properties.

Diskin said the last auction was the first time in 20 years that the county asked a participant to pay up, but they refused.

Four people who owed taxes offered winning bids at the last sale: two paid, two did not, a total amounting to $48,000.

“This is the first instance I can remember where a person or persons did not pay taxes they owed if they bought a foreclosure parcel at the auction,” said Diskin.

“When someone registers, can you find someone who owes taxes?” Scozzafava asked Diskin. “I can pull up a [list] right now.”

“Can you do it at the next auction?” asked Diskin.

“Why can’t you just stop it?”

Scozzafava shot back. “A lot of those properties were in my town. The people came in and they had no right.”

Diskin said the only way to prevent such bidders from bidding on the auction would be to write the clause into the terms and conditions. But even then, he said, there are ways to game the system.

Bidders could register under

different names or form new limited liability corporations that would make tracking difficult. Furthermore, he said, screening the bidders, who don’t register until the day of the auction, would be difficult.

“We would have to be there with a laptop and look each person up,” he said.

Board Chairman Randy Douglas said if it was determined that the first bidder owed taxes, the property should be kicked over to the runner-up.

“Make them sign something,” said Scozzafava. Without giving a name, he cited an area resident who owes a “significant amount of taxes” and was allowed to bid at the last auction.

“What do we do with them?” he asked.

“Put them in jail,” cracked North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi, grinning from the sidelines.

Scozzafava scowled.

“I agree with Scozzafava on this,” said Douglas.

“They’re going to figure it out, file under another name,” said Diskin. “You’re never going to stop them.”

Manning, who treated lawmakers earlier to a detailed explanation of the law that saw their eyes glaze over, urged patience: “We’re on track,” he said.

G

overnor Andrew Cuomo traveled to Indian Lake and North Creek last weekend for the Adirondack Challenge, the daylong extravaganza designed to promote recreation and tourism in the Adirondacks to downstate lawmakers and their urban constituents.

And of course, to the press, who were given access to some of the most powerful people in the state padding around in their flip-flops with the tacit understanding that they would beam these telegenic photo-ops directly into the living rooms of the American public, a display of Mad Men-level public relations ingenuity.

While it may be tempting for skeptical residents to write the effort off as a highly-choreographed dog and pony show — and it is easy to scoff at the pageantry that bordered on high art, the political triangulation and the prime cuts of red meat thrown to an attention-starved population — the governor should be recognized for his outreach to a region that has been left in the doghouse for far too long.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” you’re probably thinking. ÒO f course the woodchucks at my local newspaper are dazzled by the high-powered wattage.

How typical.”

But his record speaks for itself.

Finch Pruyn. Cuomo hammered out the compromise deal that will allow access to the 69,000 acres previously controlled by the timber company to all user groups, those arriving on both mechanized sleds and foot-powered Keds. The North Country’s future has been beholden for too long to downstate environmental do-gooders who treat the region as their personal playground, caring little for the people who live here and even less about their economic futures.

We’re happy to have a leader who isn’t afraid to buck their aggressive lobbying efforts and craft a plan that ensured both sides walked away with partial victories.

Funding. Cruising from the media attention generated by his trip down the Hudson, Team Cuomo used the spotlight to announce funding for another round of projects that will expand recreational opportunities in the Central Adirondacks, including $750,000 to upgrade the Abanakee Dam on the Indian River. That’s huge. Another quarter-million will be allotted for the development of facilities and trails that advocates hope will transform the region into a premier equestrian destination. Some might call it political pandering, others may scoff that the money was destined for the community anyway, just under a different name from a different agency at another time. We call it smart politics.

Promotion. Cuomo has spoken repeatedly on his love for the Adirondacks, a seed planted dur-

ing childhood getaways. This soft spot has blossomed into his tenure as the state’s top elected official and has now bloomed into huge marketing pushes, including a $40 million advertising campaign that his office says has boosted visitations to the state by 4.2 percent last year, double the national average. North Country tourism is a $1.1 billion industry, generating $144 million in state and local taxes. We call any official who broadcasts our attractions to the wider world by simply inviting his colleagues in government for a weekend trip a visionary.

Hyuck! Like we said, we’re not starry-eyed simpletons who get gooey whenever the governor bats his eyelashes at us. Please.

We still disagree on many issues, including the Gap Elimination Adjustment that has left rural school districts in dire straits; the SAFE Act that has whipped gun owners into a fury and the property tax freeze that will force North Country officials to demonstrate shared services to give taxpayers a miniscule rebate check, pioneering governance our elected officials have been doing for years out of necessity with zero recognition from the state.

But those are all indicative of the upstatedownstate dynamic that cleaves New York, a divide that sees officials representing constituents from world’s leading city serving in the same legislative body as officials presiding over the most empty and remote land tracts in the country, the cosmopolitan hum versus the blackfly buzz.

The state’s highest elected official has to rule from the center to be effective. Cuomo has done that, which means that our victories must be tempered with bitterness. He’s walked the line well and should be commended for being a masterful political operator and a sincere advocate for the North Country.

While it’s only a matter of time until Cuomo will aggravate us with another foolish proposal or budget deal, whether offering to bankroll college degrees for criminals or continuing to dance around delicate issues like fracking, we hope that we can settle our future differences here in the Adirondacks with another athletic challenge, one inspired by another strong New York Governor who had a friend in the North Country: We’ll call it the Teddy Roosevelt Challenge, an event designed to engage lawmakers in bareknuckle boxing, endurance horseback races and singlestick, a full-combat sport using cudgels, at Tahawus, the abandoned mining village in Newcomb.

Like you said yourself, governor, the best is yet to come — you ain’t seen nothing yet. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Park should be paid for by all New Yorkers To the Editor: On Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20, the Governor of New York had another “Adirondack Challenge” event in the Park.

As an elected official, I was invited by him to attend. I sent my regrets. I guess it just seems unfair to me that the people of New York that live outside the Blue Line aren’t being required to contribute to the cost of the States’ playground in the same way as residents of the Park.

The 480-A tax exemptions, low assessments on State land, unfair state education aid funding, and not having development rights to much of their land are just some of the reasons that cause real harm to residents of the Park.

Some of us feel it is time for the State to pick up their fair share of the burden for this playground rather than place the cost directly on the backs of the Park residents.

If you want to use the playground help pay for it in a fair and equitable manner.

I hope the Governor and his friends had a good time enjoying some of the fun of our great Park. It should be here for all New Yorkers, but it should also be paid for by all New Yorkers.

Bill Grinnell, Supervisor Town of Ticonderoga

North Hudson supervisor responds To the Editor: There have been a lot of words, both written and spoken, regarding the Town of North Hudson’s interest in acquiring the former Frontier Town properties. Some have said or implied that both the North Hudson Town Board and the Essex County Board of Supervisors have conducted their discussions on this matter in secretive sessions behind closed doors. I would disagree with those that feel this way and would ask that you review the minutes of those meetings, and those articles, which the press published in regard to them. I would also ask how is it that those who make these accusations would know how we conduct those board meetings, because until recently they never were present at them. Had they been present, they would have known as far back as December that there were discussions regarding the purchase of the former Frontier Town properties. The information that they put forth is only partial information, used to spin the story to their advantage. The result is that the public is misin-

formed and not fully made aware of all of the facts. My purpose here is to try to present the facts to the best of my ability.

First, when the discussion of an upcoming tax foreclosure sale first opened last fall, I began discussing with the Town Board the possibility of the Town trying to acquire it. In December the Board authorized me to try to negotiate the transfer of those properties to the Town. Our concern was that after nearly ten years in the hands of the private sector, the property had been neglected and had decayed to the point where three buildings had to be condemned, while the owners were asking at various times in excess of $700,000 for the property. Our fear was that once again this property would fall into similar fate.

The Town Board felt that if we were to acquire it, we could develop some of the property for recreational use, as it adjoins our existing multi-use trail system. Additionally we could work in conjunction with the IDA to develop an area to attract business investors. To my recollection, I have never stated that we wished to develop a mine or market timber on this property as has been reported. Again, our interest is to expand recreational opportunities, which would attract people to the town, which, in turn, we hope, would lead to business development in the town.

The Town made an offer to the County to purchase the property for taxes owed, minus interest and penalties. The offer was declined and eventually the Frontier Town/Republic Steel Task Force was assigned with the task of providing a recommendation to the full Board of Supervisors as to how to best proceed with sale of those properties. That recommendation was to combine four of the Frontier Town parcels and establish a minimum reserve bid of taxes owed for the property as of the April, 30 sale date. That was estimated to be a little more than $146,000.

The recommendation of the Task Force was accepted by the full Board of Supervisors. Both the Plattsburgh Press and Denton Publications reported the details in March. This information was available to the public; it was not a secret or part of some clandestine plan. Unfortunately, at the time of the auction, when the high bid for these properties was reached, no mention of the reserve was made. Had a statement been made, such as the minimum reserve bid has not been met; it would have saved everyone from the frustration we all feel. There are some auctions, which I am aware of, that start the bidding at the reserve bid.

This also would have had a much better result.

That being said, the terms of the contract clearly state that the Board of Supervisors may accept or reject any bid for any reason. I am told that this was also announced at the auction and so should have been clear to everyone. As the bid of $49,500 was far less than the reserve of taxes owed, the Board of Supervisors rejected it. At the next meeting of the North Hudson Town Board I asked how they wished me to proceed. By unanimous vote, I was directed to offer the County $60,000 for the properties.

That pretty much brings us to the present. I would have never,

Ronald Moore, Supervisor Town of North Hudson found, so lyrics were written from memory. Because not everyone shared the same childhood memories, there was some disagreement about where the kazoos should be tooted.

The song was rewritten several times the day they marched though their hometown. The kazoo controversy aside, they all shared a fondness for the music teacher of their youth.

On Monday, Wyant shared an open letter thanking all who contributed to what he refereed to as “That There Parade.”

Town conspires to pay tribute to former teacher

By Linda Dolly

denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The best kept, and most shared secret in Elizabethtown, was revealed as the finale of their E-town Day parade.

A little after three on Saturday, the parade judges were standing on the stage of the bandstand when the chant “We want Joe” was heard above the din of the crowd. The “Joe” they were calling for was Joe Wyant, a former music teacher who had retired in 1985 from Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School.

Wyant, who usually avoids the parades, was persuaded to attend this one, being asked to judge the floats. As the “We Want Joe” pleas became louder, the last detail of the elaborate ploy was about to fall into place. Another parade judge feigning confusion about the commotion below, said, We better see what is going on” before leading Wyant down the steep steps of the bandstand.

As Wyant approached the sidewalk, dozens of former high school music students who studied under him 30-50 years ago assembled before him. The group’s banner identified them as “Joe’s Treble Makers.”

Someone from the group, stepped forward and handed him a set of batons and sheet music. The group asked him to conduct them again. As he lifted his hands, the words to “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” filled the street.

Wyant led them in the ELCS cult classic from forty years ago, “One Finger, One Thumb,” with choreography which made it as much a practice in agility as a song.

in my wildest imagination, thought that this issue would have escalated to the point that it has.

With that in mind, I made a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors that we try to reach a compromise. My recommendations for that compromise were the minimum that I felt would ensure a permanent, long-term use of the lands for recreational uses. The counter offer made from George Moore did not ensure a permanent, long-term opportunity for the Town of North Hudson.

These are the facts. I believe they can be verified through various newspaper articles and the various meeting minutes. Again, this was not some last minute, secretive plan hatched the day after the auction, but rather a discussion that has been, and is, ongoing since last fall.

I have no personal axe to grind with George Moore. I wrote him twice advising him of the upcoming auction and of the lot in the middle of the A Frame parking lot, which we hoped he would be able to acquire, as it would then make that property whole. I am only looking out for what I believe is in the best interest of our Town. I have the greatest respect for anyone that has accomplished what he has in his lifetime. I understand and respect the fact that he would like to make reasonable profit on his investment. I would hope that he could understand and respect the fact that I am only doing what I feel is in the best interest of the economic future of the Town of North Hudson.

Finally, we, very simply, are trying to improve the Town’s economic future. To do that we felt that if we were able to maximize the recreational opportunities that will become available with the establishment of a snowmobile connector from Palmer Pond to Newcomb, Minerva, Long Lake, Indian Lake and points west, along with the future state acquisition of the Boreas Ponds tract, that maybe that would attract business growth. I have said we would be happy to get our $60,000 investment back, or even give the property to the right business. If that would create jobs and get the property back on the tax roll, our $60,000 investment would be considered a great success. We are not speculating on this property. We are not seeking any profit; we are only seeking business growth through the recreational opportunities that are possible with the above mentioned State plans in the North Hudson and greater 5 Towns, Upper Hudson Recreation Hub area.

As has been publicized, a petition was circulated to bring this to a vote. Although the petition was invalid for a number of reasons, the town board voted to bring this to public referendum.

This may be the most important decision this Town will make in recent memory. It will decide our economic future. I think the question boils down to, does the Town of North Hudson want to control it’s own destiny, or does it want George Moore to?

The “Treble Makers” were smiling, singing, lifting a finger, and then a thumb as a salute to a man, who as their signs said, “gave them the love of music.”

CONSPIRACY An entire hometown conspired to make this moment possible for Joe Wyant. In the week preceding the parade, a scheme was hatched, deals were made and hundreds of covert messages had been sent locally and across the country. This gave many the opportunity to share in a love note to a man appreciated for his patience, wit and love of music.

With no group practice time available, the lyrics to one song was shared via social media. After watching a YouTube version of a song, someone quoted the leader of their earlier band: “You better practice, we don’t want to sound like crud.”

The particular arrangement of another song could not be

ALL GROWN UP “Most people have to die and attend their own funeral to see so many people in one place that they care so much for, and hear so many really nice words,” he wrote. “I have never been a great fan of funerals, and the whole dying part leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, I got a great new pacemaker a while ago, and that worked well to keep me banging along, and kept my heart from bursting with pride for the wonderful students I’ve known over these many years.”

“Of the many wonderful things that I can recall, I believe that the E-Town Day Parade of 2014 could well be the wonderful – est.”

Referencing the teens he knew who were no longer young he added, “Over the years, some of you have grown up and changed a little. I might not recognize you if I meet you on the street, but I can assure you that I will never - never forget you.”

During the planning and following the tribute delivered on Etown Day, many Joeisms were remembered. No one brought up one of my favorites, the advice Joe offered before concerts: ‘If you are going to make a mistake, make a big one. And make it more than once. Then people will think it is a catchy part of the song.”

Of the hundreds of students who preformed with and for Joe over the three decades he taught, many made mistakes. But no one considered it a misstep to give up a study hall to learn a song or two.

Northway tour bus crash kills Canadian teen

By Pete DeMola

“I opened the top and people started getting out,” Matthieu said. “Some people were hurt, some cuts. A lot of blood, not big injuries. People were in shock.”

Matthieu and Stephen assisted authorities in translation efforts from French to English.

The family was on their way to Clearwater, Fla. They said they will continue with their travels.

Smith commended the family later at a press conference without releasing their names.

“Each family risked their own safety and did everything they could,” he said. “They need to be commended for the human value of their efforts.”

pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON — A teenager is dead, and 55 passengers were taken to area hospitals with injuries after a tour bus veered off the shoulder on Interstate 87 and onto the median on Friday morning, July 18.

The deceased has been identified by state police as 14-year-old Chelssy Mercier of Quebec.

New York State Police Major Richard Smith III said Mercier was partially ejected from the vehicle, which then came to rest on her. After responders used jacks to lift the bus, resuscitation efforts by passerby, and state police were unsuccessful.

‘QUICK SUCCESSION’ The 2008 Prevost passenger coach carrying Canadian tourists was traveling south on I-87 from Charney, Quebec to New York City when it veered off the shoulder of the highway.

Essex County’s Department of Emergency Services received multiple reports starting at 7:46 a.m. of an accident near mile marker 95 and Exit 29.

Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish said at least six calls came in at quick succession.

“It was one right after another,” he said.

Ten emergency service squads and three fire departments responded.

“There were multiple individuals outside of the bus,” Smith said.

All passengers, reportedly between the ages of 6 and 54, were removed from the windshield and top hatch.

Smith said he believed all occupants were Canadian nationals containing multiple generations of family members.

It was later determined the bus did not contain seatbelts.

‘MASS CASUALITY INCIDENT’ At the scene on Friday, the bus lay on its side with the front windows punched out. Ahead, the triple lines of iron guide wire were splintered; plastic strewn was across the southbound lane and the ground opened in a deep gash.

All 55 passengers, as well as the driver, were taken to local hospitals.

Essex County Emergency Services Coordinator Patty Bashaw referred to it as a mass casualty incident.

All were transported, some with a bus from Westport Central School, for safety reasons.

“Once the adrenaline wears off, there may be cuts and bruises,” she said. “Crushing-type injuries.”

None were believed to be life-threatening, she said.

Thirty-six patients were transported to Elizabethtown Community Hospital (ECH), two to Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, eight to Moses-Ludington in Ticonderoga, nine to Glens Falls and one had been transported to Burlington via North Country Life Flight, according to Bashaw.

A bus operated by JaimonVoyage.com lies on its side in the median of Interstate I-87 after it overturned on Friday, July 18 near Exit 29. One person was killed and 55 taken to area hospitals following the crash.

Three to five of those individuals were transported with serious injuries, Smith said.

The injured included 41 code green patients, what Bashaw called “the walking wounded.” Ten were code yellow, or moderately injured, with three code reds that required immediate transport.

CAUSE UNKNOWN No cause has been given in the crash. Eyewitnesses reported no obstacles on Interstate 87 prior to the accident.

The bus did not ignite, nor were any skid marks visible at the scene.

“It rode the contour of the median and tipped onto its side,” Smith said.

The driver, a 61-year-old Canadian male who has not been identified, will be given an evaluation to determine his fitness to operate the bus, Smith said last week.

‘PEOPLE WERE IN SHOCK’ Quebec resident Stephane Donnelly told the Valley News he was driving behind the bus, preparing to pass it on the right, when it veered off the road into the median.

“I saw it swerving to the left,” Donnelly said.

Donnelly’s wife, Chantele, who was traveling in another vehicle with other members of their party, placed the initial 911 call.

He and his son, Matthieu, 17, approached the bus and started pulling the injured out of the overturned bus.

Stephane estimated he was driving between 65 and 68 miles per hour while preparing to pass.

“That’s the speed limit,” he said.

INVESTIGATION A collision reconstruction unit will study where and why the bus left the road and where it traveled. New York State Department of Transportation officials will also open an investigation, Smith said.

The bus will be transferred to the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit in Ray Brook.

“We still have what’s commonly referred to as a ‘black box’ containing braking, speed and additional data,” Smith said.

Authorities will download that data to help piece together the causes, he said. “It will give us some indication what was going on.”

State and federal agencies were on the scene alongside members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

“We will coordinate with what the passengers believed happened and put that together with the evidence,” Smith said.

COMING HOME On Friday evening, a tour bus emblazoned with the name “Menard” waited in ECH’s parking lot to ferry the survivors back to Canada. Inside, investigators from the state police’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation attempted to piece together what had happened.

Outside, a scrum of reporters from Canadian news agencies remained as 17 patients were brought in from Glens Falls and Moses-Ludington for transport back to Canada.

ECH vans later blocked the press from the survivors as they boarded the bus for the long drive back.

Online, a Facebook page for Mercier, a brunette with a mischevious smile, had been set up.

“I was in the bus,” wrote Alain Blais in French. “My condolence to the family, parents and friends.”

“I was also on the bus,” wrote Veronique Blais. “All my thoughts and prayers go out to you.”

“As a Dad who loves my two girls of 15 and 11, and his boy of 13, I can only humbly offer to the parents and friends my sincere condolences,” wrote Richard Desgagne. “Keep in your memories and treasure the moments that allowed you to live this small shooting star.”

ESSEX — Essex Community Concerts “Mid-Day” series will present the Camp Dudley Choir, a group of male campers, aged 12 through teens, whose heavenly voices will fill the historic Essex Community Church on Thursday, Aug. 7 at 11:30 am. The church is located on the corner of Main Street and Rt. 22, by the blinking light, 300 ft. from the Charlotte-Essex Ferry Dock. We are wheelchair accessible. There is a suggested donation of $5.

These young men, from the venerable Camp Dudley, located in Westport, N.Y., begin practicing at the beginning of the camp season to perform at various locations locally, throughout the summer.

Experience the talent and enthusiasm of these fellows as they hone their changing voices. “The Other Fellow First” is the motto Camp Dudley adopted in the early 20th century, conveying a tradition of Christian ideals, goodwill, fellowship and fun. This vocal ensemble is a perfect expression of these values. Camp Dudley’s history began in 1885, when, with backing from two YMCA associates, George Peck and Rudolph Leypoldt, a 30-year old volunteer named Sumner Francis Dudley started the Boys’ Camping Society or “B.C.S.” Dudley established, through personal example, the importance of committed leadership and the spiritual life. After bouncing around among various sites, Camp Dudley landed in 1908 in Westport, New York at its current site, and the process of building Camp Dudley as we know it today, began. For more information on this admirable institution visit their site at campdudley.org.

Plane Crash

around the facility during the interview.

The aircraft did not file a flight plan, he said. None are required for aircraft flying below 18,000 feet.

From page 1

in the 1980s, before her time.

“That person survived,” she said. “But now, there was nothing we could do.”

SECOND LANDING? The cause of the crash is pending further investigation, said state police on Sunday, who declined to comment on the nature of the occupants’ injuries.

Police identified the decreased as Fred Kafka, 63, from Vienna, West Virginia; his daughter, Kathleen Kafka, 24, and Reed Philips, 25, of Midland, Michigan.

Kathleen and Philips were students at Clarkson University in Potsdam.

At the scene on Saturday, located less than a mile from the Lake Placid Airport, only part of the aircraft was visible behind a row of pines, a red tail.

No smoke lingered in the air and the blinking lights and yellow tape belied a quiet, even tranquil, landscape.

In a co-interview with the Valley News and WSLP News Director Sandy Caligiore, Lake Placid Airport Manager Steve Short called the plane a “Mooney,” parlance for a single-engine aircraft, and said the tail number was registered to a West Virginia address.

Short said he was in contact with an eyewitness, a fellow pilot, after the accident.

The witness, who did not want his name made public, indicated to Short that the accident was possibly the result of a botched landing.

Short said the aircraft approached the runway from the west and attempted to land. The other pilot, who was approaching from the east, also for landing, told Short there was no indication the pilot was in trouble.

After nearly scraping its wing on the runway, said Short, the West Virginian aircraft circled back around as if to make another attempt.

Open flaps to reduce drag were still lowered from the first attempt, he said. That may have played a role, he said, noting that it was speculative on his part.

Wind conditions were calm at the time of the incident, said Short, and the airspace remained open, with some manuvering

NCSPCA fundraiser upcoming

ELIZABETHTOWN — The North Country SPCA announces $25,000 Golf Ball Drop including a $500 guaranteed 1st prize.

Time is running out to purchase your ball for the NCSPCA Golf Ball Drop. The balls, numbered 1 to 1000, will be dropped Saturday, Aug. 2 during the second annual open house at the shelter located at the Frances Miller Adoption Center, 7700 Rt 9N just east of Elizabethtown.

“The ten balls that land closest to the mark will be in the running to match a preselected ball/number chosen at random” stated Jessica Hartley the executive director of the NCSPCA. “Besides being in the running for the $25,000 those 10 will also be awarded an additional prize. Prizes range from a $500 cash prize to a case of wine or other gift certificates generously donated to help put the “fun” back in fundraiser,” said Hartley.

The NCSPCA is a no-kill shelter and the only shelter in Essex County. 90% funded by private donations the shelter holds several events throughout the year to raise the needed funds to care for the more than 400 abused, abandoned and forgotten animals rescued annually by this non-profit organization.

To purchase your $10 ball for the drop contact Jessica at the shelter, 518-873-5000 or email jhartley@ncspca.org. “The odds of winning are dependent upon the number of balls sold, but rest assured 100% of your donation will go towards caring for the animals at the shelter,” Hartley said.

The open house, 10AM to 3PM and ball drop at 2PM are free and open to everyone. You do not have to be present to win.

“Even if yours is not the winning number your $10 donation can still be used as a tax-deductible contribution to the fullest extent of the law; It’s a win for everyone,” stated Hartley.

ON THE SCENE State police reps told the Valley News shortly after 4 p.m. that the Federal Aviation Administration were on route from Albany and were scheduled to arrive imminently.

Essex County Coroner Francis Whitelaw said he couldn’t transport the deceased to the Adirondack Medical Center for autopsies until the FAA signed off.

“We’re in a holding pattern,” he said while waiting at the scene.

The National Transportation Safety Board have been notified and are enroute to assist in the investigation, said state police.

The FAA is treating the crash as a motor vehicle accident because of the size of the aircraft, FAA officials said on Tuesday.

OBITUARIES IDA RUMNEY ATKINSON January 28, 1912-July 18, 2014

IDA RUMNEY ATKINSON Ida Atkinson passed away at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital Friday July 18, 2014 at the age of 102, Ida was born in Trout Pond, town of Chesterfield on January 28, 1912 to Orrin and Susan McCann Rumney.

Between Ida and her father their lives spanned 157 years, her father having been born in 1857.

While growing up on the family farm in the Trout Pond area, Ida attended the local one room schoolhouse and during severe winter wearher the students would attend class at the Rumney home since the teachers usually boarded there at the Rumney farm.

Ida left the family farm at age nineteen when she married her first husband, John Davis and moved to Willsboro where she lived until her death. In the early 1940's she worked at the Willsboro High School as an assistant to the Home Economics teacher delivering lunches to the individual classrooms before there was a cafeteria. In 1946, she went to work at the Sportsman's Dinette in Willsboro for Harold Perkett and John Remancus as a cook.

She worked there for 19 years and remarked once that she made over 2000 pies each year. The owners called her a true Adirondack cook with a great recipe for veni-

son mincemeat pie.

For many years Ida thoroughly looked forward to having lunch with her friends at the Senior Nutrition Site in Essex, New York.

She maintained her own home until just before her one hundredth birthday, walking to the nearby store and the post office with a lively gait.

The last two years she has been under the care of Faye Reynolds and more recently the loving care of Yvonne Ashline. The family deeply appreciates that care.

Ida had the distinction of being the most senior lady in Essex County, N. Y. .

Ida was pre-deceased by her two brothers and two sisters plus her three step brothers and two step sisters, her first husband John Davis (1966 ), her second husband J. Fabian Martin ( 1983 ) and her third husband Donald Atkinson ( 1997). She is survived by several nieces and nephews.

Father Raymond Moreau of St. Philip of Jesus Catholic Church in Willsboro will conduct a graveside service for Ida at the Calvary Cemetery in Willsboro, N. Y. on Tuesday July 29 at 10:00 a.m..

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the MarvinHeald Funeral Home in Elizabethtown, N. Y..

Essex Day

From page 1 on the National Register of Historic Places.

Children will enjoy face painting and playing at the playground and beach at Beggs Park. Everyone will enjoy the beautiful Lake Champlain vistas.

“The restaurants are booming that day,” Sonnett said. “Many local organizations use it as a fundraising event.”

Refreshments will be available throughout the day at the Pink Pig and the Ice Cream Café. Lakeside lunch and dining will be served at the Old Dock at the ferry landing and at Chez Lin and Ray at the Essex Shipyard.

According to the group’s website, event sponsor Essex Initiatives was founded in 1993 by a group of local business owners hoping to attract tourism to the area but has since “morphed into a group of volunteers who support community activities either by supplying manpower, financial support or both.”
