‘Warriors’ take on Tupper Lake mud

TUPPER LAKE — About 45 minutes had passed since the first wave of “Warrior Runners” jogged up and away from the lodge area at Big Tupper before Joe Merrihew rounded the corner, pausing to fire a paintball gun at a heavily-padded human target some 50 feet away.

A minute later, he was crawling through a narrow set of culverts, his eventual exit preceded by a horde of flies disturbed by the Bloomingdale runner.

But it wasn’t over yet — back up the mountain he went, 10 minutes away from an eventual wall climb and first-place finish in the 4th Annual Tupperpalooza Warrior Run on July 18.

Hours passed before all of the 148 competitors completed the obstacle-littered, up-anddown mountain race course, ranging from Merrihew’s 54:47 to the final time of 3:05:28.

“We don’t mess around with the elevation CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

LONG LAKE — While green may be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of the Adirondacks, these trees are streaked with gray.

It’s well-established that the Adirondack Park faces a demographic dilemma.

The region is expected to experience a 23 percent increase in people 65 and older between 2010 and 2020, a rate 15 percent greater than upstate as a whole.

The same amount of young people aren’t replacing them.

It’s a problem facing rural communities across the nation.

But here in the Adirondacks, there are strong undercurrents of youthful activity seeking to reverse the tide — if the ingredients can come together.

Last week, officials from virtually every sector from across the Adirondack Park gathered in Long Lake for the Common Ground Alliance, the ninth installment of the forum designed to overlook philosophical differences and come together to try to move the needle forward on sustainable public policy.

It’s an approach that has fielded results, say officials, most notably when it comes to locking in funding for invasive species.

Before the attendees broke off into their work groups, young people sounded off on their hopes, issues and challenges.

ELCS grad takes third in national cooking competition

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A local culinary whiz kid whipped up a recipe for success at a recent national cooking contest.

Dominic DeMuro, of Elizabethtown, took third in the SkillsUSA National Culinary Arts competition held earlier this summer in Louisville, Kentucky.

“I felt pretty surprised,” said DeMuro, who won a state championship this spring. “I didn’t think I’d win.”

The challenge saw 43 kids from across the country preparing a four-course meal under the same guidelines.

The final checklist incorporated elements of presentation, flavor, handwork and food safety.

First, DeMuro had to demonstrate his knack

for knifery — how to expertly dice, chop and prepare.

There was chicken fabrication, or cleanly breaking the bird into its parts, including removing skin from thighs and drumsticks, for instance.

All parts were broken down for use in the dishes, with the rest going towards stock.

Sanitation skills were also tested, a must after chicken prep, with points shaved off the final score if DeMuro touched the chicken bits before coming into contact with something else.

Ultimately, DeMuro opted for a pickled vegetable soup, a salad, and a pair of chicken entrees: the first, hand-seared chicken topped with a mushroom sauce with sauteed carrots on the side.

For the second, the ELCS grad decided on braised chicken thighs with roasted potatoes and oblique carrots.

Prior to the competition, he wrote down the menu in a notebook and examined the facility’s pantry and walk-in cooler to make sure all the ingredients were available.

Contestants were required to make two of each dish. Judges would taste one, while the other was set on a hundred-foot-long table for viewing.

His soup took top honors, and the salad, second place.

DeMuro said while he was confident, at the same time, he often felt as if his competitors had an extra edge.

“I looked at their menus and they felt very elegant compared to mine,” he said.

Others had over-the-top stuff that fell through, DeMuro added.

DeMuro will attend the Culinary Institute of America in New York in October, where he will study advanced cooking skills.

The $13,500 in scholarship funds he won as part of the competition will aid him on his journey.

DeMuro said he would eventually like to become a chef.

He’s gotten plenty of practice at Latitude 44 in Plattsburgh, whom he credits alongside his teachers for helping to hone his award-winning skills.

KEENE — Have people ever hear Yo-Yo Ma play the cello? Or, Itzhak Perlman play the violin?

If people were a following Meadowmount Summer Music School for many years, they might have heard them play when they were teenagers.

This year, East Branch Friends of the Arts will again bring the talented Meadowmount students to perform a concert Thursday, July 30, at the Keene Valley Congregational Church at 8 p.m.

The Meadowmount School of Music is a seven-week summer school for accomplished young violinists, violists, cellists and pianists training for professional careers in music. The students range in age from 8 to 30 and come from all parts of the United States and the world to this quiet mountain setting for rigorous practice and coaching on their instruments and in chamber music.

There will be a donation of $10 per person and students are free. For more information, call 576-2225 or e-mail eastbranchfriendsofthearts@gmail.com.

Single-vehicle accident in Johnsburg injures horses

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — Four horses suffered minor injuries on Sunday when the truck pulling their trailer veered off Route 28 and rolled several times before coming to rest on its side shortly outside of North River.

Melissa MontyProvost, a passenger, can’t remember what happened.

She must have nodded off, she said.

When the fog cleared, she sensed what she referred to as a “slow methodical roll.”

“All I remember is spitting out dirt — I Four horses suffered minor injuries on Sunday, must have clawed July 19 shortly outside of North River when the my way out,” said truck pulling their trailer veered off Route 28 Monty-Provost. and rolled several times before coming to rest The 2006 Dodge on its side.

A worker with the pair’s operation, the Plattsburgh-based Country Dream Farms, followed with an armful of riding gear, which made scraping noises as it dragged across the pavement, magma-like in the severe heat.

“I still don’t know what happened,” said Weidle.

The horses must have shifted, he offered.

Traffic was snarled a half-mile in each direction as emergency personnel, including the Minerva and North Warren Emergency Squads, worked to extract the horses.

Monty-Provost and Weidle both suffered minor abrasions, while the animals will require some minor stitching.

A vet was on scene and the animals were later transported to the Circle B Ranch in Chestertown.

Monty-Provost and Weidle were coming from nearby Indian Lake, where they provided horse rides to state lawmakers as part of the Adirondack Challenge, the daylong state-sponsored event designed to promote tourism in the region.

Just an hour earlier at a lunch banquet in Gore Mountain, Sen. Betty Little hailed the proliferation of equestrian opportunities in the region.

“It was a nightmare,” said Monty-Provost. “It was a great day with no mishaps, then this.”

After she came to, Monty-Provost tried to call 911 on her cell phone, which is powered by Verizon, but couldn’t because of the lack of service.

She was able to call authorities, and later, support staff to help assist with the aftermath, when a passerby offered the use of her device, which was powered by AT&T. Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow, who was on scene, noted the

two AT&T towers in his community and the possible installation of another in Indian Lake, according to FCC reports.

A half-mile up Route 28, Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells sat in his truck and waited for authorities to reopen the route.

He looked at his phone: No service.

“You really need to write an article on cell towers,” he said.

Remember the history of the rebel flag 21st Century Cures Act is a Bold Plan to

G

ood riddance.

The Confederate battle flag has been taken off the statehouse grounds in South Carolina. It’s been placed in a museum — where it belongs.

Last month, Gov. Nikki Haley, R-South Carolina, called for the controversial banner to be removed from the statehouse grounds, following the killing of nine black people at a church in Charleston. The white man accused of the mass killing embraced the flag.

“My hope is that by removing a symbol that divides us, we can move forward as a state in harmony and we can honor the nine blessed souls who are now in heaven,” Haley said.

We applaud this decision to remove the divisive symbol from a very public place in the heart of the South. But let’s also use it as a time to take stock of where we are in the North Country. Spend a few hours driving down a country road and chances are you will see the stars and bars unfurled on a residence or two.

The flag is seen by many as a sign of having a rebellious spirit. In popular culture, we have seen it displayed lightheartedly on the “Duke’s of Hazard” television show; Lynyrd Skynyrd and other musical artists have used it as well, conceivably meaning no harm.

But don’t forget the history. To defend the flag as solely a commemoration of Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War denies basic truths. It’s been used a rallying cry for segregation and white supremacist causes.

The flag was put up on the Statehouse in the early 1960s as a sign of defiance against the Civil Rights Movement. It was removed from the capitol dome in 2000 as an agreement between those who had differing views of the flag’s symbolism, but controversy continued to boil over the placement of the banner.

The Confederate battle flag’s popularity was also resurrected in part by segregationist Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. In 1948, Thurmond, who would serve as a governor and U.S. Senator during his long life, ran as a presidential candidate in support of “States’ Rights.” His run came after many southerners broke ranks with the Democratic Party, after a civil rights plank was added at that year’s convention.

Some defenders of the flag say its use keeps alive an important heritage of the South. But any thoughtful reading of history reveals that “heritage” is linked to a time when the United States was embroiled in a Civil War — which was fought over slavery.

Haley said she understood people would disagree with the move to take down the banner, but argued it was in the best interest of South Carolina’s future. The statehouse belongs to all people — whether they be white, black or another race. In her well-reasoned argument, Haley seemed to acknowledge the debate would persist in private organizations and in neighborhoods throughout South Carolina.

“We respect freedom of expression, and that for those who wish to show their respect for the flag on their private property, no one will stand in your way,” Haley said.

While this publication wholeheartedly and vociferously defends every person’s right to free speech, we also recognize that just because someone has a right to display the flag, that doesn’t mean it’s a wise choice. That’s why it is terribly disheartening to see the flag raised in even one North Country yard or above even a solitary vehicle.

Lest we forget the sacrifices borne by previous generations: The Civil War ravaged the United States with more troop bloodshed than any other conflict before or since, with an estimated 620,000 men perishing from death in combat or disease.

The shocking violence and heartache it brought was deep and wide, in towns of all sizes across the country. Roughly one in every four soldiers who went into the Civil War would never make it back.

Combat deaths and deaths by disease numbered approximately 38,000 in New York — more than any other state, according to research shared on the Civil War Trust’s website.

For those who were lucky enough to return home, from the Civil War, they faced returning to lives in communities where they were unable to work in the jobs they had due to an array of health reasons. Those soldiers fought against troops who carried the Confederate flag.

That is history worth remembering.

Again, let’s take solace in the removal of the flag from the South Carolina statehouse grounds.

Letters to the Editor

Open letter to Donald Trump To the Editor: Dear Mr. Trump: Wow, you really have tried to stir up xenophobic enmity toward Mexican immigrants, legal and non-legal alike. But I don’t understand that while you were at it, you didn’t mention another group that commits a majority of crimes in the U.S.? Which group? White males. According to The Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime, “Compared with assailants who kill but one victim, mass murderers are overwhelmingly likely to be male, [and] are far more likely to be white, and the numbers prove it.” So why, Mr. Trump, didn’t you take note of at least some of the white males who are (or were) mass murderers, serial killers, terrorists, mobsters, rapists? Here’s just quick sampling. It barely scratches the surface: John Dillinger, David Berkowitz, Albert de Salvo, Jim Jones, Ted Bundy, John Gacy, Caryl Chessman, Charles Manson, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Harris and Dylan Kliebold, Jeffrey Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh and John Nichols, Al Capone, John Gotti, James “Whitey” Bulger, Charles Ponzi, Adam Lanza, David Sweat and Richard Matt and Dylann Roof.

But wait. What about all those white collar criminals? What about some of the executives of bailed out banks, that brought the economy cashing down, for example.

Overwhelmingly white males. You never mentioned them. OK, a number of them got bonuses rather than criminals convictions, so I guess I shouldn’t mention them. And they may be your friends. Nevertheless you get my drift. What do you think we should do about white males in our country? Because they are U.S. citizens for the most part, of course we can’t simply send them back to the countries of their ancestors. We didn’t send Japanese Americans back to Japan during World War II. But we did incarcerate them in camps even though not one of them committed treason. So, how about putting all white males in encampments, at least until they repent? I know, I know, there are too many of them to do that, and besides, the richest among them are buying our government and our judges. So, Mr. Trump what would you do about white American males? Or rather, why don’t you stop negative stereotyping of Mexicans? And, just because I mention some white male criminals don’t start stereotyping white males either.

To the Editor: While some people gave up waiting for fireworks and only heard them from their beds, others kept hoping and waiting. Then, yes, the fireworks did happen in Westport on July 4 despite the drenching rain!

Fortunately, the technicians were able to place the fireworks display modules and cover them with heavy plastic in the afternoon before the heavy rain. The show began a bit after 10 p.m., but it was worth waiting for! An excellent show!

Warrior Run From page 1

gain,” said Adam Baldwin, the events coordinator for the Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce. “We use a lot of our terrain as obstacles.”

Baldwin, who competed in the race its first three years and organized it for the past two, has a background in the Spartan Race series, an even more intense take on a gruelling racing style that’s been growing in popularity in recent years.

The Warrior Run — which Baldwin called “more of a dialeddown, local-friendly” take on such competition — was still no slouch.

Billed as a 3.5 mile course, it’s actually closer to 4, with a dozen obstacles along the way, from the “Prison Break” fence to a treestand-type climb.

And then there’s the mud: “Definitely thick and odoriferous,” explained Baldwin.

“It was tough,” said Gregg Defeo of Chazy, a competitor who had just completed a similar themed Tough Mudder race a month ago.

“I wasn’t ready for this, but it was a lot of fun.”

Defeo was one of the scores of racers who stuck around after crossing the finish line, enjoying a post-race beer while the rock band Third Shift, and later Holographic Horse, jammed out on a trailer-turned-stage adjacent to the lodge.

Keith Bender, of Stamford, Conn., took a break from contact work he’s doing in the area to do the race for the first time. Having done triathlons in Lake George in the past, he spoke highly of Tupper Lake’s muddier cousin of a race.

“It was phenomenally well done,” Bender said in between an exchange of banter with another finisher. “Well-organized, nice family event.”

Competitors spanned an age range of nearly 50 years, from Lake Clear’s 9-year-old Gabriella Sawa to a handful more in their 50s.

About two-thirds of the racers tackled the course as a team, led by Tupper Lake’s Down N’ Dirty, whose top-three finishers — Mitchel Keniston, Mitch Harriman and Liam Lemere — averaged a 1:05.38 on the course.

But the first seven were all going at it solo.

Eighteen seconds after Merrihew crossed the finish line, Rochester’s Alex Izzo — looking the warrior part with a shoulder-covering tribal tattoo — capped off his second-place finish.

The only other racer to get under the one hour mark was Saranac Lake’s Hailey Bitner, first among females and third overall.

Thanks to ELCS supporters To the Editor: Thank you to all those who supported the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School music program benefit held at the Wooden Nickel on Friday, July 17. Four-hundred dollars was raised after paying for the entertainment. Special thanks to Barry Rauch, Shari Morris, Carl and Trevor Brooks and designated driver Connor Marvin.

Barry Rauch, Keeseville Sue Schofield (Tupper Lake), Kevin Karn (Buffalo), Alexander Dukette (Tupper Lake) and Ben Pokon (Lewis) finished fourth through seventh, respectively.

Though many were clearly fatigued, warriors spoke highly of the third running of the Tupper Lake event.

Team Shaheen’s IGA — Andrea Gerstenberger, Maureen Shaheen and Sophia Martin — Andrea Gerstenberger, of the Shaheen’s IGA team, called the Warrior Run a challenge that she’d do again — though perhaps with elbow pads next time around.

Shaheen, whose husband, his brother and cousin co-own the namesake supermarket, had done the race before, learning this time around to complete the circuit in kneepads.

“The cold water was refreshing,” laughed Shaheen as she and Gerstenberger recounted the highs (a chilly swim) and lows (the mud- and fly-filled culverts before yet another uphill climb) of the race.

When told that another finisher considered the Warrior Run, with all its elevation gained and lost, tougher than the Tough Mudder he had done, the two beamed.

Beside the race itself, the two touched on Tupper Lake and a growing sense of vitality in the village, evidenced in part by the scores of young people both in the mud and around town.

Baldwin said the same, highlighting that the idea behind events like the Warrior Run or the Tupper Lake Tinman is to bring people to a town that’s become increasingly tourist-friendly.

“That’s the path we’ve taken the last couple of years,” Baldwin said. “All of these events, we believe, really help our economy.”

This year’s crowd, continued, was mainly from New York, though mixed within were competitors from Connecticut and, much further away, Dubai. In the coming years, Baldwin hopes, the race will begin to draw even more mud-trudgers from nearby states.

“I think it has helped Tupper Lake a lot,” Gertenberger said. “You used to have to go to Lake Placid or out of the area for an event like this.”

Clarification

An error in the Essex County Board of Elections-provided report used as the basis for last week’s Valley News report on local office seekers erroneously stated that Herb Clark filed petitions for Lewis town supervisor. Clark is running for the superintendent of highways unexpired term, not supervisor.

Camping memories

I

love music and enjoy a little trivia.

As the years roll by, though, many lyrics have escaped me like a slow leak in your car tire. When my busy head was searching for this week’s topic in the middle of the

by Gordie Little night, one word stepped front and center: Camping. So, let’s talk camping.

My troubled mind is more bizarre than that of the average bear. For some reason, it conjured up an old song that the vast number of my readers will not recollect. A few history buffs will be humming along with me, while the rest of you are left in the lurch.

It’s called “Tenting Tonight” or “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground.” To set the record straight, it was written by a man named Walter Kittredge in 1863 and became popular with Union Army troops during the Civil War. My late mother had the sheet music crammed into the piano stool and we sat around singing it more than seventy years ago. That’s what families did after supper.

It was a sad song about war and death and homesickness and all the rest. But, it stuck in my young memory and has remained there.

My own tenting memories are far more pleasant and I’ll conjure up a few.

As a young lad, my brother Jim and I joined our parents in traveling to campgrounds in Beacon, NY as well as all the way up from Westchester County to the Mooers Campground here in northern Clinton County. The old canvas Army tents on wooden platforms had a special odor that is hard to describe.

And the services in what they called “the tabernacle” were full of fire and brimstone.

Kaye and I have also tented with our family many times throughout our long relationship and marriage. I seem to recall spending a lot of time trying to waterproof the tent seams to keep rain water out. Once, at a campsite near Lake George, we went to sleep confident that the tent wouldn’t leak. That changed when I woke up a few hours later in a driving storm and felt for my trousers. They had soaked up about fifteen pounds of water. We scrambled into the SUV for the rest of the night.

From there, it was pop-up campers and they were only slightly better. On one memorable occasion on Cape Cod, I was jolted awake to the sensation that I was falling and ended up in my BVDs on the ground after the metal supports gave out under the bed. The neighbors cheered.

We spent over forty years at our all-time favorite place called Cole’s Creek on the St. Lawrence River between Massena and Waddington. Family, friends, music and marshmallows over open fires gave us magical memories enough for a lifetime.

Over the past 30 years or so, we graduated to tow-behind hard-sided campers with many home comforts. The sunsets there rival those we enjoyed in Hawaii and we have thousands of photos to prove it. Friends from the Plattsburgh area and many from other counties, states and Canada joined us each year for two weeks in July. Campfire stories, long walks, games of dominoes and hundreds of good books to read. How can you beat that?

While you are reading this, many of those same folks are camping at Cole’s Creek. We are not. It’s a lot of work preparing for the annual sojourn and we decided, after last year, to pack it in. We sold our truck and the camper and spend a lot of time reveling in the ambiance offered by our enclosed back deck along the beautiful Saranac River in Morrisonville.

Do we miss camping? Sure thing. As a matter of fact. We’re visiting our family and friends on the St. Lawrence right now for a couple days while sleeping in a nearby motel.

The times they are a changin’.

Let’s all sing the tenting song: “We’re tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer Our weary hearts, a song of home And friends we love so dear.”

Mud & Whitewater: An Adirondack Event Weekend

Governor Cuomo: “Tourism is serious business”

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — On a tranquil stretch of the Hudson River, the sun burned bright overhead and highlighted a storybook natural landscape.

Birds trilled from the surrounding forest as white-crested whorls broke upon the rocks in the cool slate-gray water.

One after another, rafts of paddlers drifted by.

It’s an experience Gov. Andrew Cuomo hopes all state residents will eventually come to appreciate, particularly New York City residents.

The governor was in Indian Lake on Sunday for the third installment of an event series designed to draw attention to the Adirondack Park by pitting state lawmakers against each other in a series of athletic events — including whitewater rafting.

As he suited up for his trip down the river, Cuomo asked reporters if they knew where the Hudson River originated.

Mount Marcy in Keene, an alpine town some 300 miles north of New York City.

“You can stay in a raft and end up in 96th Street in Manhattan,” Cuomo said.

Originally billed as a race, the three-mile rafting trip down the Hudson is more of a tightly choreographed water ballet, with guides launching dignitary-filled rafts every minute down the sedate three-mile stretch.

Cuomo put on a red life jacket and a blue helmet emblazoned with the state seal before hopping into a raft with Alphonso David, his counsel, and his two daughters.

The group paddled into position and turned around.

The governor said he’s been practicing his technique for the past nine months.

“I think the ladies have an advantage — female power, that’s what we’re relying on,” said Cuomo.

His daughter groaned: “Why are you giggling?” she asked.

The governor jousted with officials as they walked their rafts down to the launch point, sizing up each one with a mischievous glint in his eye: “This boat is in trouble.”

“There’s a lot of gray hair in this raft… a lot of wisdom.”

They splashed him.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited Indian Lake, New York on Sunday, July 19 to promote the Adirondack Park as a tourism destination. At the event, Gov. Cuomo announced a massive ramp-up in downstate promotional efforts, including doubling the number of MTA buses advertising the Adirondacks in New York City. He’s pictured above preparing for a whitewater rafting trip down the Hudson River.

He splashed back.

“There’s the New York legislature,” he said to the raft containing North Country reps Sen. Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec.

“Are we ready? Are we fired up?”

He took off and disappeared around the bend.

North Creek-area river guides said they’ve seen upticks in business since the state launched a sustained tourism push four years ago, including large investments in advertising, the development of new mobile apps and massive publicity events like the Adirondack Challenge, which always comes with a wave of publicity for a region that had historically complained about being overlooked.

Becky Pelton, of North Creek Rafting Company, said it was huge for someone like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to take a trip down the river three years ago.

That inspired a wave of new adventure seekers.

“These were women in their 60s who never thought about getting on a raft before,” she said.

Business is now booming, she said, including clients from India and China who booking trips.

According to figures provided by the governor’s office, the Adirondack Park generated $1.29 billion in direct spending and $159 million in state and local taxes last year. The industry supports 21,203 jobs, or 17.9 percent of all employment in the region, and $590 million in labor income.

Sen. Little said the growth in tourism is spurring the creation of new businesses, which are then fed and sustained by returning tourists.

“We’re seeing new economic life here, not just in the tourism business, but interest in people coming here to start new businesses,” she said.

Crucial to this are the regional economic development council funds that are handed down each year.

The North Country has landed $338 million in state investment dollars since the initiative was launched four years ago.

Local officials have identified tourism as one of the region’s top priorities.

It’s a system that works, said Little, noting the $1.25 million investment to the Wild Center’s new outdoor exhibit, the Wild Walk.

Last summer, the center never broke 1,000 visitors on any given day, said Little. But this year, daily attendance numbers haven’t dipped below 1,200 since the Wild Walk was launched earlier this month.

“That’s a real example of how state and local government can come together,” said Little.

Inbound tourism to New York has jumped 16 percent in the past three years, noted the governor.

“It is big business for the North Country,” said Cuomo, adding that the state will double the advertising budget in New York City, including a campaign in August that will target some 700 buses.

The governor also announced a new instant win scratch-off ticket designed to further promote tourism to the state’s scratchers by offering up to 15 trips to one of New York’s five destination regions, including the Adirondacks.

Getting people to the Adirondack Park is just a matter of exposure, said Cuomo.

“If I didn’t have this job that kept me busy like a crazy person, I’d be here all summer.”

Depot Theatre to present four-night play reading series

WESTPORT — The Depot Theatre kicked off its second year of “La Depot Dangereuse,” a play reading series that began Wednesday, July 15.

Regents approve Paul Smith’s College name change

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com PAUL SMITHS — Despite an immediate outcry following the announcement of a proposal by Paul Smith’s College to amend the school’s name with that of a prominent donor, the state Board of Regents formally approved the name change on Monday.

Following final approval by the state court system, incoming freshman will now be attending the Joan Weill-Paul Smith’s College after the prominent philanthropist and fundraiser pledged a $20 million donation.

Weill’s husband, Sanford, is the retired chairman of CitiGroup.

The approval came four days after the school initially announced the change.

Paul Smith’s President Cathy S. Dove thanked the Board of Regents in a statement.

The school is hopeful, said Dove, that the court will agree that the college’s acceptance of the Weill family’s naming gift is “appropriate and best for the long-term future of the college.”

Dove said the infusion will provide long-term stability for the school, which has faced financial uncertainty in recent years.

“It will ensure that we can retain and promote the core values and academic experiences inspired by Phelps Smith’s gift and embodied by our students and faculty since 1946,” Dove said.

In an open letter, the Board of Trustees voiced their support for Dove and for what they called a “transformational” pledge.

The trustees said the school cannot serve the students or develop the college to meet future

The New York State Board of Regents has signed off on a proposal from Paul Smith’s College to add the name of a prominent donor to their official name. challenges solely through traditional college fundraising.

“Joan’s support is not only instrumental, but critical to reaching the institution’s chartered goals by providing a much-needed cash infusion along with the benefit of the Weill family name,” read the letter.

The funds, said the president, will be invested in current and new academic programs, additional scholarship support, some capital programs and attracting students from new markets, said Dove.

Reaction on social media from students and alumni was swift and nearly unanimous in its criticism.

Since Thursday, a Facebook group against the change has swelled to over 2,600 members.

The cover image cites a quote from Phelps Smith, the son of the founder, who said that he would donate his estate on the condition that the institution be “forever known as ‘Paul Smiths College of Arts and Sciences.’”

While most acknowledged they were appreciative of Weills’ contributions to the school — her name already adorns the library and student center — they also said that they believed the school was compromising their values exchange for a financial lifeline.

Asked if the donation was contingent on naming the 69-year-old institution, Dove said it was naming gift.

“The trustees and I believe it is appropriate to recognize Mrs. Weill’s significant past and future support of the college,” wrote Dove in an email.

Following Monday’s approval, students, faculty and parents immediately took to the school’s Facebook page to sound off.

Stuart Hayes said current and incoming students should receive diplomas with the school’s original name.

“I came as a Smitty, I want to leave as a Smitty,” he wrote, adding a number of open questions: “When do we hear how this money is being used?” he wrote, referring to outdated and rundown dormitories. “There’s been really no explanation on how this is going to drastically change

the school besides kissing people off.”

Others complained about the expedited timeline.

Karleigh Jordan called it “unbelievable” that the school failed to solicit comments from alumni, students and parents prior to making the decision.

“I chose to attend this college because of how it is portrayed, a wonderful and beautiful environmental college,” Jordan wrote. “If I continue to go here, I do not want my diploma to read her name. I understand we need the funds, but there are other ways.”

Barry Good wrote while he was still somewhat disappointed, he accepted the change and hoped for continued prosperity of the school.

“I have had and always will have the utmost respect and admiration for Professor Curt Stager [an educator, scientist and author employed by the college] who was instrumental (once again) in helping me see the light,” wrote Good. “You will have to forgive me, though. I will always refer to it as Paul Smith’s College.”

The Board of Trustees acknowledged what they referred to as a “passionate reaction,” calling it a testament to the importance that their college experiences have had on their lives.

Dove said they plan on holding a series of town hall meetings, both at the college and elsewhere, to discuss the change, including a meeting with alumni at this weekend’s reunion.

Additional meetings will be held once students arrive on campus in a few weeks.

Also underway is an update of the school’s strategic plan, a process trustees said is open to student, alumni, faculty and staff preparation.

Emerging priorities include increased scholarship funds for students, increased support for academic programs, investment in the physical upkeep of the college and investment in promoting the college globally to increase enrollment, read the letter.

Dove said she wasn’t worried about blowback from in the form of reduced endowments from alumni: “Joan Weill is highly respected,” said Dove.

“Having her name associated with our college sends a powerful message about our mission and the education we deliver. We fully expect that her visible engagement will encourage many others to consider supporting our college.”

New deposit biz aims to erase stain left by former occupant

By Ryan Edwards

costumer, and patrons are even invited to count out them themselves, Scott said.

ryan@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The All Brands Redemption Center has recently opened its third location in an Elizabethtown building which was the focal-point of a fraud scandal earlier this year.

This latest addition to the All Brands franchise, which has locations in Chestertown and Pottersville, opened its doors in May, shortly after Rapid Returns owner Timothy C. Record skipped town following allegations from a number of area organizations that he’d failed to honor the balance on their fundraising accounts.

Now Record’s photo hangs on the wall of what was once his redemption center, the centerpiece of a Valley News report which exposed Record’s dishonesty, including an admission from the Nickel Nabber himself that he had closed up shop with around two-dozen accounts still unpaid.

The words “OUR NEW STORE NOW!” are hand-written at the top of the page, ensuring that none who enter conflate this new business with Record and his admitted schemes.

According to store manager Shane Scott, overcoming the bitter legacy of Record has been a challenge, but on the whole, All Brands is thriving in Elizabethtown.

“The people are still wary,” Scott said, “but everybody who comes in seems to have a good experience.”

REPAIRING RELATIONSHIPS Owner Joe Brand said one in every three Elizabethtown costumers reports having been ripped off by Record, including Scott herself, who claims to have caught him in the act.

According to Scott, when she brought a bag of 300 recyclables into Rapid Returns, Record’s count reflected only 150.

Having worked in a redemption center before, Scott made sure to personally count out her recyclables before bringing them in,

MOVING FORWARD

she said, and when she insisted that there were 300 cans in the bag, Record refused the allow her to take them back.

Scott said Record then paid her the correct amount after the altercation, but told her she was not allowed to step foot in the store again.

Since opening, Scott said All Brands has established donation accounts with a number of organizations who claim to have been duped by Record, including the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club, the ASCPA and Elizabethtown Central’s Class of 2018.

Scott said she is hoping to establish a relationship with Elizabethtown’s fifth grade class, who narrowly avoided the cancelation of their class trip this spring due to Record’s failure to pay them their due on their fundraising account.

In an attempt to evade unwanted association with Record and Rapid Returns, staff at All Brands avoid certain language reminiscent to his dealings with the community.

“He ruined the word ‘fundraiser,’” Scott said. “We call it an ‘organization donation’ now.”

To promote an open and honest atmosphere, all of the recyclables brought into All Brands are counted right in front of the

Brand said he intends to continue growing his new location similarly to his flagship store in Pottersville, which also offers bait and tackle, propane fill-ups, firewood and a hot dog stand on-site.

“The progression is coming along nicely,” Brand said.

Brand and Scott have already done some renovating since moving into the building, including a new exterior paint job — complete with two giant nickels painted on the walls facing the street and parking lot — and significant repairs to the plumbing and the ceiling, which Scott said Record damaged before he made his getaway to Florida.

“When he left, he ripped a bunch of stuff out,” Scott said.

“This place could have burned to the ground.”

All-in-all, Brand said his experience in Elizabethtown so far has been a pleasant one, and he hopes to maintain a trusting relationship with his new customers.

“Our company is a very viable and honorable business,” he said. “I’m very confident in the service we provide.”

As the name suggests, All Brands accepts all cans and bottles, and offers pick-up service for sizable amounts from events such as fairs and field days.

The Elizabethtown location is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday next to Bub’s Pizza and Deli.

Lt. Gov. emphasizes balance in Adirondack speech

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul said Adirondack Park policymaking should be based on striking the right balance between preservation and economic development.

“The economy and the environment are mutually dependent — they don’t have to compete,” said Hochul.

The state’s second-in-command spoke Wednesday, July 15 at the Common Ground Alliance, the annual forum that brings together stakeholders from across the Adirondack Park to discuss ways to map out the region’s future.

Hochul hailed the group for their willingness to put aside their differences for the greater good.

“The common good is so much bigger than all of us individually, and that’s the beauty of what I see going on here today,” said Hochul.

WEALTH OF ISSUES The lieutenant governor’s speech came at a time when Adirondack-related issues have been burning bright in the public sphere.

Earlier this month, the DEC held a pair of public meetings on their plans for the newly-accessible tracts of state-owned land parcels in the central Adirondacks, the largest addition to the Forest Preserve in nearly a century.

The proposed DEC plan for the Essex Chain Lakes Management Complex includes a new community-connector snowmo-

Lake Placid resident Marc Galvin addresses officials at the Common Ground Alliance forum in Long Lake on Wednesday, July 15. Young people want to stay in the Adirondack Park, said a panel of young professionals. It’s just a matter of providing opportunities and keeping communities vibrant.

chair who is one of the event’s organizers, hoped their insights would resonate throughout the day as attendees hashed out their proposals and ideas, which would later be condensed into a twopage brief and zipped off to state lawmakers, many of whom were in the audience.

“Everywhere you go, people are talking about young people,” said Chris Morris, who works with the Adirondack Foundation.

“It’s really important for rural communities to continue to try to sustain them and build the future.”

COMMUNITY AND CAREER Natasha Bristol grew up in Saranac Lake before moving to Philly to study illustration.

But it wasn’t the type of place she wanted to plant roots.

The Adirondacks called. But Bristol needed two things before she relocated with her new husband: Community and career.

“It’s always been a challenge for young people coming back to

bile trail, bicycle and horse trails, more opportunities for paddling access and primitive tent sites.

Groups are conflicted over a number of connector trails as well as a proposed new bridge over the Cedar River.

Another hearing will be held in Albany on July 22, while the public comment period runs through July 27.

For Invasive Species Week, which wrapped on Saturday, the state opened 12 new boat decontamination stations as part of a pilot program designed to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in the region.

To cap off the week, the DEC announced a new action plan on Friday to combat aquatic invasives, including expanding the networks of boat launch stewards, developing new response frameworks to guide decision-making when invasives are located and identifying and evaluating the risks associated with the various pathways for invasives introduction into, and movement within, the state.

On the infrastructure front, groups like the Adirondack Council are continuing to push for cash-strapped municipalities to tap into new clean water infrastructure funds to replace outdated or ailing systems in their towns. Some $200 million will be made available until 2017. $500 MILLION BATTLE ROYALE Earlier this year, the state legislature approved an Initiative that will see seven regions battling for three $500 million pots of economic development funds.

She found the community aspect in Saranac Lake, where the volunteer opportunities and local food movement appealed to her.

Then came the job at Adworkshop, the Lake Placid-based marketing agency.

Communities thrive when like-minded residents get established and then open the doors to other people, said Bristol.

“Bring it on, bring it back and bring it forward.”

Hannah Gibbons has a similar story.

While she’s not a North Country native like Bristol, Gibbons spent the summers in Old Forge before making the decision to relocate here.

After graduating from SUNY ESF, Gibbons landed a job as an intern at Great Camp Sagamore and is now the facility’s program manager.

The job is a great fit that ties together history, cultural and environmental issues, she said.

Gibbons, 26, lives in Long Lake with her partner, who teaches English in Tupper Lake.

They’re now trying to immerse themselves in the local community and trying to meet more like-minded people.

How can the community be more welcoming?

Continued revitalization efforts that will keep communities humming along with year-round diverse economies.

“Revitalization of small town economies is huge,” said Gibbons. “There’s definitely a push going on that’s noticeable in Tupper Lake.”

This, in turn, will ensure sustainability of local schools, said Gibbons.

CHALLENGES Gibbons conceded that she and her partner are lucky to both have jobs within their fields.

Seventy percent of grads from Adirondack-area colleges want to stay in the region, according to a report released earlier this month by the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages.

Top draws include the natural beauty, open space, recreational activities and safe, small communities.

But it won’t happen without good-paying jobs.

That took the top slot when survey takers were asked to name up to three things Adirondack communities must improve in order to retain and attract more young people to live here full-time.

Second was more year-round cultural, social and entertainment options, while improved internet and cell coverage came in third.

Marin George, 26, said that the Adirondacks has a unique pull on young people, many of whom take jobs in the service industry in order to continue living here.

“There’s a great community in the Adirondacks,” said George.

“And the beauty of this place — there’s mountains, there’s lakes and there’s forests. It really attracts a certain type of person who

While she didn’t discuss specifics, she did offer a highlight of the general goals that the North Country group has zeroed in on, including the creation of the state’s greenest economy, activating tourism as a driver to diversify the economy and broadcasting to the international community that the Adirondack Park is one of the most special places on the planet.

“I like the way you think big up here,” she said.

The regional councils will submit their progress reports and priority projects for the fifth round of the regular annual competition on Sept. 21, while the seven regions taking part in the enhanced competition will make those submissions on Oct. 5.

Hochul also stressed the importance of protecting and revitalizing local Main Streets. Doing so, she said, will continue to draw tourists to support local businesses.

“Some of them are more vibrant; some of them have been spruced up… some are looking okay, and some are not,” she said.

Last week’s Common Ground Summit was the ninth installment of the conference.

Noting the once combative tenor that once marked discussions between stakeholders in the Adirondack Park, Hochul said officials from elsewhere in the state are increasingly looking at the North Country as a model for working across municipal lines.

Being the birthplace of the wilderness movement, she noted, also carries a lot of cachet elsewhere.

“You figured out that united together, as one voice for this region, you are far stronger than being divided,” she said. “There was an inherent conflict, but all of you have come together and said, that’s not the way to go anymore — that we can do so much more together.” appreciates being in this Park.”

George is employed by the Adirondack Council, where she is their conservation fellow.

She works with Nicole LaBarge, who is this year’s Clarence Petty Intern.

The internship expires this fall and LaBarge is actively exploring opportunities to live here for the long-term.

LaBarge, who attended Hamilton College, senses there are opportunities in her field — environmental science — but locating them is a challenge, in part, because of the lack of job fairs, forums and overall conduits between employers and young people.

LaBarge said it might be challenging for employers, too.

“They’d probably really like to have young people working for them,” she said.

George said she wanted to see elected officials do more to help entrepreneurs at the political level.

Perhaps they can assist young people access the grants that coincide with their ideals, she said, be they local food initiatives or assistance in obtaining micro grants that will allow them to launch successful businesses.

“I think that would inspire a lot more young people to stay in the area,” said George.

A representative from Point Positive, the Saranac Lake-based organization that pairs angel investors with entrepreneurs, raised his hand: “We could use both more entrepreneurs coming to us seeking money,” he said, plugging the website: pointpositiveadk.com.

GRASSROOTS One resource for George has been the Tri-Lakes Young Professionals, which holds regular meetings to discuss initiatives and challenges.

“It’s amazing to see the amount of young people in their 20s and 30s getting together,” said George.

Marc Galvin, 39, cited a group that meets in Lake Placid each month to discuss the challenges facing the community as a generation of movers and shakers begins to ease out of the business world.

Galvin, a Syracuse native who owns the Bookstore Plus with his wife, said the group is trying to work with a lot of different initiatives to maintain Lake Placid’s future.

“A good core of young professionals,” he said. “I can see that as making a positive impact in the near future.”

Morris, the Adirondack Foundation staffer, acknowledged it’s true that young people in rural areas like the Adirondacks have been moving at a greater rate than coming back.

But it’s a fact that people tend to bemoan instead of looking at possible solutions.

Old Forge, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid are becoming small hotbeds of youthful activity.

“I think we need to look at what’s working there and understand why those people are choosing to live in those communities,” said Morris, noting that small businesses constituted their backbones.

Both Whaley and Morris noted their absence — due to busy summertime schedules — at today’s forum alongside another invaluable cohort of young people who are galvanizing communities across the North Country.

Young farmers.

PUSHING DEEPER Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells expressed a desire to attract some of these transplants deeper into the Adirondack Park, places like Wells and Morehouse, small towns in Hamilton County.

The lack of affordable housing is a critical issue that needs to be addressed, he said, echoing people like George, who said she had difficulty locking in somewhere to live.

“That’s a direction people need to hear more from,” said Wells.

In Indian Lake, volunteer services are taking a hit because the town doesn’t have enough young people to serve on emergency squads.

Attracting them, which will also keep the schools healthy, is a “chicken or the egg”-type scenario when it comes to jobs and housing: You have to have good jobs so people can home here, said Wells, but there are only so many homes.

“Once you remove lake access, it makes the pot even smaller,” he said.

Common Ground brings results, say officials

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — Sabattis Pavilion in Long Lake teamed with dozens of elected officials, entrepreneurs and citizens last week.

Some haven’t always gotten along, like the pro-business lawmakers who have historically jousted with green groups.

But they gathered together above the skyline for the Common Ground Alliance forum, the daylong event designed to hammer out constructive ways to enhance the quality of life in communities across the Adirondack Park.

Last week’s discussion centered around nearly a dozen groups discussing issues like funding wastewater infrastructure, combatting climate change, creating trail-town initiatives and attracting investment.

They talked recipes for maintaining attractive and livable hamlets, keeping schools open, cultivating communities through local food and elevating the status of working families.

Do their voices matter?

Absolutely, say state officials.

This collaboration isn’t typical in other regions, said Basil Seggos, Deputy Secretary for the Environment.

“When you see something like that happen, you have to listen,” said Seggos.

Acting DEC Commissioner Marc Gerstman said the collaborative efforts and partnerships on display reinforced Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s vision for the Adirondacks, one of partnerships and colloboration.

Issues discussed at past summits, including combatting aquatic invasive species, have risen to the top and have received both attention and state funding.

“It’s the best example of how the state can work with diverse local interests and environmental groups,” said Gerstman.

Ross Whaley, the former Adirondack Park Agency chair who MC’ed the event, said several action plans were possible depending on what the groups hashed out.

One avenue is to find an organization who is already pushing for those issues and link them together.

Another is to find cheerleaders to rally for the cause — including for each group’s selfproclaimed “fantasy solution” — while the Common Ground Alliance may take on something themselves (which is admittedly rare, Whaley added).

But the proposals and ideas generated during the day’s discussions will eventually make

their way to Albany via two-page brief zipped off to state lawmakers, many of whom were in attendance, including Assemblyman Dan Stec.

Stec said it was an extremely efficient event.

“Anytime that you can get a good cross-section, or a good assurance of what’s important to the people that you represent, you have the confidence to move forward in Albany,” said Stec.

“This is a good way to gauge what the priorities are for folks in the Adirondacks because you have people from all sectors.”

He ticked them off: environmental groups, business interests, landowner groups, local government and state agencies, all sitting side-by-side.

“They’re all having conversations with each other about a variety of subjects,” said Stec.

While he admitted that he can’t always help everyone, just knowing their priorities is important.

“It allows me to act more confidently.”

After the attendees delivered their reports, Sen. Betty Little said her head was reeling.

Little said she will continue to push for legislation to benefit her constituents, like the bill that will change how state school aid is allocated to towns with large percentages of Forest Preserve lands.

If passed by the legislature, Bill S822 would exclude the value of state forest preserve lands in the Adirondack and Catskill parks from use in the determination of state aid to school districts “We have a lot of support until it actually comes to voting on it,” said Little, who encouraged attendees to rally for its passage.

Hamilton County Chair Bill Farber hailed the spirit of cooperation.

“I’ve seen the good times and the better times,” he said. “I think we are on the right track.”

The melding of minds disproves the theory that local groups would rather fight than win, he said.

“We’re working together to find solutions rather than fighting over the petty differences that separate us.”

Representatives from organizations and agencies from across the Adirondack Park gathered in Long Lake on Wednesday, July 15 at the Common Ground Alliance Forum, the day-long summit is designed to facilitate dialogue and find solutions for issues facing the region. Event MC Ross Whaley is pictured here addressing the group.

Local community celebrates the life of beloved resident

By Ryan Edwards ryan@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown community said goodbye to Bruce Angus McPhail earlier this month, who died unexpectedly in his home at the age of 74.

McPhail managed the Cobble Hill Golf Course in Elizabethtown for years, and is remembered for generosity, his wit and his love of the course and the game.

He was born in Elizabethtown on November 20, 1940, the eldest son of Angus and Joan McPhail.

He served in the second Infantry Division of the United States Army in Korea from 1960-1962, and upon returning home he married Regina Moseley on October 20, 1962.

The newlyweds settled in Lewis, where they raised their family.

McPhail is survived by his son Sean; his daughter and son-inlaw Colleen and Richard and their boys Nicholas and Maxwell of Saranac; his sister and brother-in-law Kathy and Lou Lindstadt and family of Florida; his brother Scott and family of Florida; his sister-in-law Karen (Joe) Martin of South Carolina and brotherin-law Christopher Moseley (Claire Boucher) of Montreal/China.

McPhail was predeceased by his parents, his wife Regina, his mother and father-in-law and his beloved Sadie.

Before managing Cobble Hill, McPhail worked for the United Parcel Service for 30 years.

After his retirement, his love of the game brought him to his position at the golf course, which his friends and family say he never considered a job because he enjoyed his work there until his last day.

A memorial service was held on Thursday, July 16at the First Congregational Church in Lewis, followed by a celebration of McPhail’s life at the Cobble Hill Golf Course.

Area residents remember McPhail through comments on his heraldfuneralhomeinc.com obituary “wall,” from acquaintances to those who’d known him a quarter of a century.

Margaret Bartley of Elizabethtown said she worked with Bruce for two years and their relationship grew as they worked together. “His wisdom, advice and devotion to the Cobble Hill Golf Course was unsurpassed,” she said. “Even after I left office, I continued to stop by the clubhouse or shop by and share stories and adventures. He will be missed by so many people in Elizabethtown, and I am grateful that I got to know him so well.”

Roger Phinney said “Bruce was a great friend all through our

school years and he and his family were always so great to share their hospitality. His energy, enthusiasm and willingness to lend a hand were ever present. In recent years we re-connected at the Cobble Hill Golf Course and I looked forward to crossing paths with Bruce during a round of golf. It won’t seem the same without Bruce passing by - always ready with a comment for us.”

Bob Goodspeed said “I lived next door to Bruce and Regina while our children were in high school and he and Jim were best friends while Regina and I were best friends. Bruce was such a fun person to be around; you couldn’t help but love him.”

Bob Prescott said, “Bruce was our neighbor in Lewis for 25 years. In that time Bruce was always willing to give a helping hand. He always kept us on our toes because we never quite new what to expect from him. He and Regina were truly great neighbors. I haven’t seen Bruce much in the last few years, but I will always remember his infectious smile and wit. My sincere condolences to his children Sean and Colleen.

Also to Kathy, Scott and the families.”

Above: Area residents celebrate the life of Bruce Angus McPhail, who managed Elizabethtown’s Cobble Hill Golf Course for years after his retirement from UPS. He is remembered for his generosity, his wit and his love of the course and the game.

Elizabethtown Day 2015 E-town Day was held Saturday, July 18. This year’s theme was Mardi Gras. Parade organizer Stephen Duso, pictured here, spent most of his day draping beads on the necks of everyone he saw.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of them, made their way into the homes of those attending this year’s event. The necklaces will be a reminder of E-Town Day 2015 and build anticipation for next year’s event.

At the conclusion of the day’s events, fireworks lit up the sky, pine trees and mountains which surround the Cobble Hill Golf Course.

The show is paid for with funds from The Elizabethtown Fire Department, the town of Elizabethtown and donations.

Kathy L. Wilcox • 873-5000 if she wants to be a calico, tortoiseshell or tabby, but whatever she is, this is one adorable cat!

Sissy’s vocabulary is as unique as her coat color - she chirps like a bird or squawks like a chicken depending on her mood. She Sissy is not fond of other cats and really feels that she ought to be the queen of her castle, but she does adore attention and would make a great companion who will definitely keep you entertained with her bird impressions. If you are seeking a feline who is more congenial toward her peers, we currently have almost 50 cats of all ages, breeds, and sizes who need forever homes.
