LAKE PLACID Ñ Jim McKenna eyed the cluster of cocktail-sipping businessowners, dignitaries and elected officials before swooping in and ushering them to his office, where a laptop displayed his agencyÕ s shimmering new virtual guide. Ò ItÕ s a heck of a marketing tool,Ó he said as while taking digital spins around the Adirondack Park.

The new site, which was quietly launched last week, contains a series of interactive 360 views from locations across the Adirondack Park, including Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Crown Point and Ticonderoga.

Sweeping vistas from well-known locales like Mount Marcy Summit and Pyramid Peak are also included alongside interior shots of bars and restaurants.

LOUDONVILLE Ñ Thirteen points. ThatÕ s the lead Elise Stefanik, a Republican, has over Aaron Woolf, a Democrat, in the race to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh).

A WWNY-TV 7/Siena College Poll released on Thursday found Stefanik leading 46-33 percent, with Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello garnering 10 percent.

Eleven percent remain undecided.

StefanikÕ s lead matches the RepublicansÕ 13 point enrollment edge among likely voters, said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg in a news release announcing the findings.

The Willsboro-based former White House staffer leads by more than 50 points among Republicans while Woolf, an Elizabethtown-based filmmaker, has a 38 point lead with Democrats.

Independents are evenly divided.

Broken down by geographical area, Stefanik has a significant double-digit lead in the western and southern portions of the district, which spans some 12 counties over 16,000 square miles, and leads by six points in the north and central parts, including Essex, Franklin, Hamilton and Clinton counties.

Stefanik also leads the pack in favorability ratings: 44 percent have a favorable opinion of the candidate Ñ compared to 32 percent for Woolf and 18 percent for Funiciello Ñ while 29 percent have an unfavorable opinion of Stefanik against WoolfÕ s 25 percent and Funiciello at 21 percent.

Green Day Hawkins: “We’re running to win”

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ A majority of New Yorkers have progressive values, said Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins.

They want things like good schools, clean air and a living wage. They want affordable health care and fair taxes.

As such, he explained, heÕ s the only progressive choice on the November ballot.

On Sunday, Sept. 14, he stumped in Glens Falls with activist paterfamilias Ralph Nader and fellow candidate Matt Funiciello, a local baker who is running for Congress.

Following a fundraiser at the Rare Earth Wine Bar, the trio rallied their base at the Charles Wood Theater, a buoyant event that brought in thousands in grassroots cash.

Hawkins cited Zephyr TeachoutÕ s lashing of Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary last week that saw the law professor rout the incumbent in 30 upstate counties, garnering 34 percent of the vote. Ò It was a repudiation by the base of the Democratic Party against CuomoÕ s policies,Ó he said. Ò IÕ m going to work to hard to earn the support of Teachout and Randy Credico voters.Ó The lifelong activist currently works at a UPS transfer station in Syracuse. He said this experience on the frontlines allows him to tap into the sentiments of the working class. Ò I talk to people all the time at my job and go door-to-door,Ó he said. Ò The majority are not voting because theyÕ re totally disgusted. They think politicians are bought, so what are they going to do? ItÕ s our intention to appeal to them.Ó He decried voters who vote against their own economic interests, a theme he shares with Funiciello and Nader, who delivered a scathing speech shortly after HawkinsÕ comments. Ò Majoritarian values donÕ t transcend to public policy,Ó said Hawkins. Ò The one percent discourages a majority. Two-thirds of the voting public are working classÉ and thatÕ s why we need a Green Party.Ó

62666

GREEN NEW DEAL Hawkins pumped something called the Green New Deal, a package of policy proposals that party officials say is the missing link between the birth of Social Security in the 1930s, Civil Rights in the 1960s and today.

Provisions include tax relief for the working class, affordable housing, a $15 minimum wage indexed to productivity, singlepayer health care and the ability for states to opt out of the Common Core.

Hawkins also called for a green energy plan, including investment in energy efficiency and microgeneration, a directed windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas companies and low-carbon infrastructure redevelopment as a job creation strategy. Ò ItÕ s a no-brainer,Ó he said. Ò But state legislators are being funded by the oil and gas industries, including Ô Governor One Percent.Õ Other spokes in the Green New Deal share ideological strands with the Occupy Movement, like the break-up of large financial institutions to facilitate more detailed risk management, re-regulation of international finance and crackdowns against corporate tax evasion.

The candidate said the race isnÕ t only about him, but rather getting America back on track after shirking its progressive values. This will be done, in part, through the Green PartyÕ s strategy of concentrating on local races and electing town councilmen, school board members and county legislatures. Ò Get a foothold there and follow through with what we say and refine our commitment,” he said. “We’re going to establish Greens as an alternative and be part of that national conversation.Ó A crucial element of that is being allowed to debate.

gubernatorial debates between Cuomo and Republican candidate Rob Astorino.

In lacerating remarks at the Charles Wood Theater, the candidate lashed out against Ò the corporate-run monopoly in mediaÓ that he said froze him out.

Debates four years ago were a gong show, Hawkins agreed, but heÕ s a serious candidate.

Cuomo, who refused to debate Teachout, has said little on the matter, while Astorino has said debates should only be between candidates who actually have a shot at winning the race.

The most recent polls have showed Hawkins at seven percent, a number that jumps to 12 percent in the 19th and 21st congressional districts.

Hawkins cited Tom Golisano, the three-time gubernatorial candidate who was included in past debates despite having anemic poll numbers.

The Green Party has the ballot statewide and needs 10,000 votes to retain it for the next election. Ò I should be included by any objective standard,Ó he said. Ò It would be a crime for the other candidates.Ó Astorino has challenged Cuomo to eight debates across the state Ñ including one in the North Country Ñ but Cuomo, who holds a commanding 30 point lead over Astorino, has not yet accepted.

Establishing the Green Party as the stateÕ s third majority party will change the dynamics across the state, said Hawkins. Ò WeÕ re running to win.Ó Voters will head to the polls on Nov. 4.

All’s well this school season at Willsboro Central

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WILLSBORO Ñ ItÕ s business as usual this school year at Willsboro Central and Superintendent Stephen Broadwell says thatÕ s a good thing.

While most schools in the North Country have been rocked by staffing changes and fiscal concerns, WCS is holding the line for its 264 students.

Broadwell reported no staffing changes, including new faces. Ò So thatÕ s status quo with teaching at each grade level,Ó he said.

The super also reported no problems with Common Core and its associated modules. Ò We started last year and had success with it,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re just following through with those pieces.Ó This yearÕ s budget was passed, approved and stayed within the tax cap for the district.

Modified varsity boys and girls soccer, unlike other districts, will continue as planned and teams have been fielded.

Broadwell is optimistic that teams will stay intact for the winter, as well.

Other than the voter-approved new bus that has yet to come in, only two exclamation points remain: The first is the student who will join Plattsburgh Central to play hockey, a measure that was approved at the districtÕ s board meeting last week. Ò ItÕ s a sport we donÕ t offer here, but weÕ ve done it in the past.Ó Students are also preparing for a November production of Ò Peter Pan,Ó an ambitious undertaking that includes a flight system.

“We’ll have kids flying on the stage,” said Broadwell. Ò ItÕ ll be really fun and good for the community. The kids are really excited about it.Ó Students have been practicing since last month. Ò IÕ m looking forward to this year,Ó said Broadwell. Ò ItÕ s been a great start already and we look to making progress with all of our students.Ó

tÕ s a busy weekend in E-town! It starts with the bowhunting class at the Westport Fish and Game Club on Friday, Sept.

19 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. before continuing on Saturday morning from 8 a.m. until the class is completed.

You must bring your lunch and attend both days. To register, or for more information, contact Marshall Crowningshield at 569-8347 or Ed Moulton at 962-4542.

There are two big events on Saturday, Sept.

Willsboro

W

ell, the calendar shows that in about 10 days, fall will be upon us. We all know that it is here now: Days are much colder, days are getting shorter, our outside plants are drying up and many of our summer friends have gone off to their winter homes.

Those of us that sit at the VisitorÕ s Center have noticed less people dropping in. But those that do are such a pleasure as they share with us. We are so grateful for the many faithful volunteers that give time each week: you help to make us proud as a community.

WeÕ re hopeful that interested people will continue to assist us again next season as we are always welcoming new volunteers, so give it some thought.

It would seem that we are truly a two major season community: we plan for the locals in the colder months and then we do some major planning for when the summer families return.

Reminder that this next year, we will be celebrating the 250th birthday of Willsboro. Ideas are starting to be generated and they are looking for more ideas and offers of assistance, so share your input with them at the Town Hall and Lane Sayward as the chairperson.

LetÕ s get excited and make this a big full year of celebrating.

Westport

I

need to clarify last weekÕ s column about the proposed Town Hall renovation. I reported that the estimated overall cost is $1.2-1.4 million, that the town has applied for a grant of up to $500,000, and that, assuming the maximum grant is received, the remainder of about $670,000 would be paid for by a bond issue.

That last figure, though, is based on getting the maximum grant and on doing all the renovations the planners envisioned. The grant could be less and the community could decide to do less. The grant only stipulates a 25 percent matching contribution from the town, would be mean a bond issue of about $170,000 if the maximum grant is awarded.

The bottom line is that the outcome is flexible and we the voters will get to decide as we go how much we want to do. (Plus, there will be rooms available downstairs for meetings.) IÕ ll keep you posted on this project as it progresses.

On a related subject, there will be a joint meeting of the Fire Commissioners and the Town Board on Monday, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m. in the Town Hall to discuss the proposal to build

dulge in. Each chef will set their own cost of their tastings. I hope the creative bakers and dessert makers have their entrees ready for the Apple Dessert Contest, made from our locally grown apples. I wonder who is going to win this year? Category ages are 12 and under, 12 to 18, 18 and over.

IÕ m sure theyÕ ll all be delicious!

If thatÕ s not enough to do, beginning at 1 p.m. until 9 p.m., take a walk down the street to celebrate with friends and family at the Elizabethtown Social CenterÕ s 75th Anniversary.

There will be live music, games, dancing and displays of all the fun things to do at the social center, including a barbeque dinner. The Pleasant Valley Chorale will perform at 3 p.m.

The Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School is looking towards the community for help with the schoolÕ s new green classroom. If you have knowledge of construction, landscaping, gardening and understand what means to be green, then volunteer to help them out on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28.

Contact Mrs. Fielder at mailto:kfieldet@elcsd.org. This a great opportunity for some excellent school spirit!

Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com Last week was the Democratic primary election and it was sad that of the many that could have voted between the hours of noon to 9 p.m.

We only registered 19 votes. So you get what these small number of people made for a choice.

The general election is coming up soon and hope we get a bigger turnout. This one is for the governor and our representatives to Washington. They hold our future in their hands.

Edna Coonrod shared that there will be a driverÕ s safety course coming up Oct. 23 here in Willsboro at the Congressional Church. ItÕ s one all-day class and you do need to register as there is a limit to the class size. The instructor will be Bob De Nello. Contact Edna if you are interested at 963-4594.

I did notice at least one Hometown Hero special flag up on the banner poles. I’m hopeful that there will be many more. If interested, contact Robin Belzile at 572-7973 for more information.

Happy Birthday to David Gload (Sept. 14), Justin Drinkwine (Sept. 21), Peter Rwoley (Sept.

And I have great news from ACAP: The state has provided funding for the year for the ACAP After School Programs in Westport, Schroon Lake, and Moriah. All of the credit is due to the parents, who organized and advocated for these programs in a way that really stands out.

When all the after school funding went to big cities, Westport parents (and children) became activists, writing letters and making phone calls to their representatives and to the governor. And they succeeded in making themselves heard. They also asked that the programs run through the end of September, when the original grant expires. That meant that when State Sen. Betty Little (bless her heart) got on the horn to say funding was restored, there was no loss of continuity.

Way to go, Westport parents!

Congratulations to Cynthia Johnston, Week Ten Winner of the $50 Heritage House Raffle, and also to Alan Hipps, who won the end-ofseason $250 Grand Prize, and to Mary B. Allen, Scott Gibbs, and Linda Adams, who won

A $10 donation is suggested, or $30 for a family, all to support the Lakeside School. Black Kettle Farm sits on a hillside above Whallonsburg at the intersection of Cook and Leaning Roads.

The third and last of the War of 1812 lectures at the Whallonsburg Grange will be on Tuesday, Sept. 30. The speaker will be Art Cohn, founder of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and a long-time advocate for the preservation of the lakeÕ s underwater historical artifacts.

His talk is entitled Ò The Height of Commercial Shipping on Lake Champlain and its Shipwreck Legacy.Ó Admission is $5 and the lecture begins at 7:30 p.m.

Brody shelter over a year ago. This sweet little guy is now an adult cat but has never known the joy and satisfaction of a home of his own. Brody is a friendly and outgoing guy who will bring smiles to your face. He loves other cats and is very curious about dogs. We are really attached to this beautiful black cat, but he so needs to be in a home where he can get all the loving he deserves. Do you have room in your home and heart for this special guy?

ton County, itÕ s easy to see that apple trees are carrying an abundant crop. Many corn growers have told me this is their best year in memory.

The larger farmers markets, particularly Keene Valley and Saranac Lake, expanded this year with more vendors and many more customers. Smaller markets are faring well, but the trend seems to be favoring the bigger markets.

On the whole, dry years are preferred to wet ones, because there are fewer disease problems and weeds, but no one is complaining about this summer.

We’ve seen a few monarch butterflies recently in Reber, an improvement over last year when none were to be found. This species is sadly in decline, due to illegal logging destroying their overwintering spot in Mexico and the widespread use of glyphosate, an herbicide that kills everything except crops genetically modified to resist it.

Under former tillage systems, weeds and crops coexisted to some extent. With glyphosate, commonly known as Roundup, milkweed, the monarchÕ s only food, has been largely wiped out in the Midwest.

Monarch caterpillars, if you should be so fortunate to see one, have bright white, yellow and black stripes and will be found only on milkweeds, which we have plenty of.

s part of the 200th anniversary celebration of the Battle of Plattsburgh, the Anderson Falls Heritage Society is hosting The War of 1812 Quilt Exhibit.

North Country quilters of all ages were invited to make an 1812 quilt using fabric, colors and design of their choice to express their interpretation of the battle. Categories were Ò Cot to Coffin”, “Pictorial” or “Memorial.”

All quilts were 30Ó by 70Ó . This size would have covered a sleeping soldier or if he died it would cover his body to send it home. The exhibit will run until Sept. 30.

The September portion of the free summer lecture series at Anderson Falls Heritage Society will feature Steven Englehart speaking on the manufacturing businesses along the Ausable River, more specifically, the R. Prescott and Son manufacturing company.

That lecture will be on Thursday, Sept. 25th at 7 p.m.

I see signs up that the library has extended its annual book sale. Stop in during normal library hours and you will find many great books, perfect for cozy reading indoors during the cold months ahead.

IÕ ve added another bird feeder to my collection in the backyard. It is fun to watch the myriad of birds and learn their distinctly different habits. We put out about 40 pounds of seed between the three feeders and two locations on the ground for the ground-feeding pigeons and mourning doves.

We inherited well over 50 starlings who took over the backyard. My cat was in her glory, but the other birds did miss out from the mob scene. This past week, I saw a bald eagle flying over the Ausable River near Ausable Forks.

It was a truly spectacular sight. Rounding the newest bridge towards Front Street in Keeseville, I saw an osprey in the trees next to the road.

Recently, the lake has greatly increased its population of ducks and geese as well as herons. This is why I love calling the North Country my home Ð great weather (I like it cool and cold) and amazing wildlife all around us.

Have a great week and enjoy our community.

Local food producer? NYS wants you SYRACUSE Ñ New York State Commissioner of Agriculture Richard A. Ball encouraged companies that make food, drink, and other agricultural products in New York on Monday, Sept. 15 to consider exhibiting their products at

the Taste NY Harvest Fest at the New York State Fairgrounds on Saturday, Nov. 1.

The Taste NY Harvest Fest is an annual event that allows companies to offer free samples of their products and sell those products directly

ACAP lands funding

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Adirondack Community Action Programs, Inc. (ACAP) is pleased to announce that its Advantage After School program has received funding.

Having operated After School programs in Moriah, Westport, and Schroon Lake for many years, the program announced in August that the sites were slated to close as of Sept. 30. Ò We knew losing the after school program was going to be a hardship on parents, the schools and our community,Ó said Marjorie Zmijewski, ACAP Child Care Director.

Once they heard about the closings, parents, the schools and children contacted local and state officials to let them know their concerns. Ò We canÕ t thank them enough for speaking out,Ó said Zmijewski.

It was primarily through their advocacy and the support of local officials like Randy Douglas, Chair of Essex County Board of Supervisors, and State Senator Betty Little, that the funding was restored.

At the programs, students will have help with homework and access to healthy activities. The program will continue to operate under the Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS) After School initiative.

Feminist author to give talk WILLSBORO Ñ Lorraine Duvall, a local author from Keene, will speak about her new memoir at the Paine Memorial Free Library in Willsboro on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 5 p.m.

DuvallÕ s book, Ò And I Know Too Much to Pretend,Ó follows her life and culminates with the fulfillment of her quest to live in the Adirondacks. The memoir tells the story of a woman who made choices outside the norm Ð the norm of what was expected of girls born in 1938 and raised in the 1940s and 1950s.

Duvall embraced the early years of the feminist movement, forging her own way from what was expected of a suburban housewife. She relates the challenges of succeeding in the maledominated computer software profession and in attaining a Ph.D. while in her 50s.

to consumers. Last year, several thousand people came to sample products, including wines and beers, cheeses, baked goods, dips, spreads, chutneys, pretzels, meats, and more.

This yearÕ s event will be held in two sessions in the Horticulture Building at the Fairgrounds.

The first session will run from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and the second session will run from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Festival attendees pay a single price and receive (with proper identification) a complimentary glass that can be used for sampling wines, beers, liquors and ciders.

All vendors make free samples of their products available and can sell their products directly to consumers.

Companies that participated in 2013 offered very positive reviews of the event: Ò We had a lot of people stop by our booth last year for tastings and to hear about our new company. We made sales and most of all, we made great connections. We received a lot of exposure from this well-organized event and made sure to get it on our calendar for this year,Ó said Anita Elwell, business manager for Adirondack Distilling Company of Utica. Ò This event showcases the growing diversity and strength of New YorkÕ s agriculture industry. Dozens of companies proved that some of

the best food and drink in the world is made right in our own backyard. They made new customers and consumers found new favorites.

I encourage any food or beverage company in New York that is looking to make new connections to come to the Taste NY Harvest Fest,Ó said Commissioner Ball.

Companies interested in knowing more about Harvest Fest can call Geneanne KeeganSmith at 315-487-7711 extension 1212. Information for exhibitors, including an application form, can be found at nysfair.org/harvestfest.

The Taste NY Harvest Fest will also feature free seminars on New York wines, beers, and ciders, conducted by experts from prominent New York beverage businesses. Food will be available for sale in the buildingÕ s quick-serve restaurant.

ECH to offer hunter safety screening ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The annual HuntersÕ Health Screening will take place at Elizabethtown Community Hospital on Tuesday, Sept. 23 from 4Ð 6:00 p.m.

This free health screening will allow hunters the opportunity to have a physical that will assess their overall health before they set out into the woods to tag that trophy buck. Results will be reviewed by a physician that evening and mailed out within two weeks. Additionally, participants will also be able to speak with health professionals if they have any specific concerns.

The health screening will assess blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and oxygen levels.

Hospital staff will also check vision, height and weight, providing an overall health picture.

Participants will also have an EKG reading taken, an important test that measures heart health. A team of nurses and lab staff will conduct the health screening.

According to RN Julie Tromblee, basic health evaluations allow physicians an opportunity to uncover physical conditions that can put individuals at risk.

The hospital lobby will be filled with information and giveaways related to health and safety. Representatives from Essex County Public Health will be on hand, along with a certified diabetes educator, outdoor writers, DEC officers, and hunting enthusiasts. In addition, representatives from the Essex County SherriffÕ s Department will be giving away gun locks to participants.

True character shown in Ti

I

September 20, 2014

t is often said that true character is not revealed until a time of crisis.

This can be true of individuals, but it can also be true of entire communities. It has been shown time and again throughout the North Country as communities band together in times of hardship to take care of each other.

The case of St. MaryÕ s School is the most recent example of this. In the late evening hours of Sept.

5, a teacher who was working late to help enhance the educational experience of her class heard noises and investigated, finding a hallway full of smoke. Thankfully, the teacher was able to escape and call for help, but the ensuing fire caused massive damage inside the 59-year-old Catholic elementary and middle school.

The concern for the future of the school was immediate. Among the tears and sorrow for loss was a determination to resume the education of the 100-plus students who call St. MaryÕ s home. Within hours, Father Kevin McEwan said the fire would not mean the end of St. Mary’s. Into the early morning hours of Sept. 6, hundreds of people lined the streets offering not only their well wishes to the members of the staff who also stood and watched as events unfolded, but their services to make things right.

Character was shown that night, as fire departments from throughout the region arrived on scene to attempt to save the building. Several members of the local departments, which included Ticonderoga, Hague, Chilson, Putnam, Crown Point and Port Henry among others, had worn the St. MaryÕ s uniform and shield. There were tears shed, but there were also hands offered the next day to start the cleanup process. Impressive considering these fire fighters had spent two straight nights responding to emergency calls that lasted well into the morning hours. They all deserve commendation for the work they did, all as volunteers in their communities.

More character was shown by the members of the St. MaryÕ s staff, who quickly went to work determined to get their students back to school. As it has been said several times, the fact that students were back to school on Monday, Sept. 15, in their new homes at St. MaryÕ s Church and the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church, is nothing short of a miracle. Teachers and community members worked tirelessly to make sure classrooms were painted, chairs were organized and lessons were ready to be given and received. There is no price tag that could be put on the amount of extra work these people did. Their reward came in the faces of students excited to return to school and reunite with teachers and classmates. Their own smiles and determination throughout the trying ordeal was a source of strength for community members.

The community showed an outpouring of support to the school, whether it came from Ticonderoga Central School, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, many of the local businesses or individuals determined to help bring St. MaryÕ s back. When students returned to school, they had everything they could need and then some, as community members donated supplies to replace those the youth had brought in for their original first day of school two days prior to the fire. The halls of the First United Methodist Church were filled with books for all ages as people donated to help rebuild a library that was taken out by fire. Local contractors helped to build and wire the new school rooms to meet the needs of the teachers. An online fundraising page was set up which has raised over $17,000 to date.

All rallied around this school which was the victim of what has been deemed a suspicious fire.

Police continue to investigate the matter, and we hope people will give them the space and time they need. We need to remember that in the real world, crime analysis and investigation does not get wrapped up in one hour prime time television show segments. If anything, we want the authorities working as deliberately as they can to ensure the outcome they come to leads to the proper conclusions and, if needed, justice.

For the North Country, though, this is nothing new. Communities rally around those who fall on hard times through illness offering benefit events to help families.

The entire North Country rallied after Tropical Storm Irene battered the region, destroying houses and causing massive flooding throughout the region. In the days following the storm, communities banded together to help others clean out the mud that had gone from the riverbeds and into their bedrooms, pick up the pieces of homes carried downstream by the raging waters, and offer food and encouragement to those who were short on both.

Hopefully, events like this will not happen as frequently in the future. But, if they do, it is nice to know we live in a region that has our backs. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Suggestion in editorial ludicrous To the Editor: The recent Valley News editorial advocating a new bridge across Lake Champlain is a terrible proposal. Citing the crowded and congested highway to Key West as a shining example to repeat here is tragically ignorant - I speak from experience, having endured decades in Florida. Community life has often been devastated by new bridges and highways. The tragic history (for example, Staten Island, NY) is readily available online. I think the people of Vermont are aware of the quality of life impact associated with another bridge across Lake Champlain. Most probably have no interest in turning more of their state into overdeveloped traffic nightmares.

Asserting that a bridge would be better for the environment assumes that only the current ferry traffic would transition to the bridge. That ignores the inevitable increase in vehicular traffic, as travel becomes easier and cheaper for drivers. More traffic will require widening feeder roads, ‘upgrading’ intersections with traffic lights and only encourage more ugly development, such as strip malls. Air pollution and energy usage would significantly increase. Bridges also pollute through vehicular oil and chemical spills that eventually runoff into the lake. A new two-mile bridge would have a huge impact on the coastal and water ecology of Lake Champlain. These externalized costs are assumed by future generations who have to manage the consequences of our actions.

Stating that Plattsburgh has a Ò dearth of good shoppingÓ is rather dismissive of the numerous businesses downtown and along the outskirts of the city. Some shopping may be better in Burlington, but are you seriously suggesting that the citizens of NY pay for a bridge to take business - and tax revenue - away from our state? Anyway, has our culture descended to a point where we expect government to assume more debt (again, burdening future generations) to provide us with a better shopping experience?

Finally, your editor should have a better command of the written language. Editorial sentences shouldnÕ t be fragmented, and interrogative sentences deserve question marks. I hope our political leaders on both sides of the lake donÕ t take advice from someone who confuses Ô theyÕ reÕ with Ô theirÕ !

Literacy services important To the Editor: As the new school year begins, our focus turns to education.

While young students return to school, millions of American middle school and declines in high school. Verbal abuse and intimidation remain constant across all age groupings. While the aforementioned statistics appear to point an accusing finger at schools, I believe that bullying very often occurs at school because this is where children come together every day of the school years.

More importantly, the face of bullying and the attendant behaviors have changed. Over the last twenty years, bullying evolved from predominantly acts of physical aggression or dominance over victims to more complex psychological warfare tactics.

Physical abuse or aggression by bullies was obvious and easily identified and adults could reasonably and predictably intervene. Now, youth utilize psychological methods and social snubs to attack their peers. Researchers are calling these psychological methods Ô Ó gateway behaviors.Ó If these behaviors can be addressed, they will not develop into bullying. Essentially the behaviors are displays of contempt or exclusion to let the victim know how poorly they are thought of by their classmates.

Alone, expressions like eye-rolling, for example, may be seen as benign. But the sum total of their effects on the victim can be devastating. The challenge for adults is to determine if behaviors between children are bullying or teasing or the result of a disagreement between two children.

A backdrop for these determinations should be identifying the three main elements of bullying relationships between children.

I believe that schools have set clear and unwavering expecta-

adults seek personal empowerment through literacy. We celebrate the determination of these adults to improve their reading, writing, speaking, math, and computer skills, in spite of their often busy and complicated lives.

Sept. 8 is International Literacy Day - established in 1965 by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to call attention to the world-wide issues of illiteracy.

In New York, an estimated 2.7 million adults lack basic literacy, math and employment skills. Low-level reading and math skills are linked to poverty, incarceration and dropout rates.

These same individuals lack basic health, financial and consumer literacy skills, according to Literacy New York, Inc., which serves approximately 6,500 adults each year through a network of 35 affiliates and their volunteers.

Literacy Volunteers of Clinton County and Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties jointly serve over 250 adult learners annually with the help of 225 volunteers. In addition, approximately 1,600 pre-school children in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, and Hamilton counties receive a free book every month through our Ò Imagination LibraryÓ .

We thank our valued volunteers and invite others to join our mission for a literate community. Tutor Training Orientation will be held in Plattsburgh September 10th and October 1st; Port Henry September 25th; Malone October 2nd; and Lake Placid October 14th.

There is no cost to the learner. We invite all to spread the word to those in need of literacy services É and about our Ò Imagination LibraryÓ .

Literacy Leads. It leads to employment. It leads to independence. It leads to opportunity.

Movies and real life To the Editor: In the movie Ó Wag the DogÓ , the U.S. presidentÕ s popularity rating is dropping as fast as his pants (no pun intended) after he is caught in a sexual encounter with an underage ”Firefly Girl.”

In order to repair the damage and to divert attention from the issue of his infidelity, his spin doctors quickly manufacture a phony war with Albania -- because no one knows anything about Albania or Albanians. Sure enough, the Nation unites behind the president in a burst of sudden patriotism and he wins re-election in a landslide.

In the movie Ó Election Year 2014Ó , the U.S. presidentÕ s declining popularity rating is dragging down DemocratsÕ election prospects for the November elections. In order to divert attention from the real issues Ð amnesty for, and favored treatment of illegal Mexicans, politically-motivated undeserved minimum wage increases for union allies, and handouts to Wall Street such as the so-called Ó Jobs ActÓ -- his spin doctors quickly manufacture a phony war with ISIS. Although no one had ever heard of ISIS a few weeks earlier, the media quickly turns ISIS into a household word for bad guys out to get the U.S. Sure enough, the Nation unites behind the president in a burst of sudden patriotism and his partyÕ s ratings rise as the election nears.

The characters change, but the plotÕ s always the same.

I guess allÕ s fair in an election year David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif.

tions about physical aggression or behavior. There is zero tolerance for physical abuse and the challenge for adults is to set these same expectations for psychological bullying.

A key factor is creating a culture everyone in the school and community is responsible for stopping the bully. Bullying relies on silence, that silence must be replaced by school wide and community wide awareness and discussions about bullying that result in culture change.

The good news is that I believe that it is possible to make these culture-wide changes.

The national attitude about tobacco use, for example, took many years to change from a normative behavior to a common agreement that tobacco use was unacceptable.

Once a common understanding and agreement about bullying is achieved, the national mentality will shift and the change will start to occur more rapidly.

There are still many Americans that believe that bullying is just part of growing up, a Ò rite of passage.Ó Still others believe that bullying Ò helps kids to toughen up.Ó Some adults believe that bullying is Ò kidsÕ stuffÓ and adults need to let them work it together. When all these beliefs have been vanquished to irrelevance, the great majority of adults and then children will believe that bullying is wrong and unacceptable and bullying will be greatly reduced and millions of young American children will be spared the abuse that they are now suffering ion a daily basis.

Remember, all kids count.

Duprey confident after close primary victory Running on Republican and Independence line

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ After a closer than expected primary, Assemblywoman Janet Duprey is hoping for a stronger turnout in the general election in November.

The four-term incumbent Republican Assemblywoman was forced to wait on the absentee ballot count in Franklin and Clinton counties before she could claim outright victory in the Republican primary against challenger Karen Bisso, a result she chalks up, in part, to very low voter turnout.

Duprey edged out Bisso by nearly 200 votes. Ò IÕ m disappointed in the turnout for the primary,Ó Duprey said. Ò I would run my campaign exactly the same way again. We havenÕ t had a lot of time, but IÕ ve tried to analyze what we did or could have done differently, and I donÕ t think anything. We stayed positive, which is what I do.Ó Duprey said that she has been approached by numerous people since the vote totals were announced, saying that they hadnÕ t bothered to vote because they thought the race was going

Last call for Green volunteers

to be a landslide victory for the former Clinton County legislator.

Going into the general election, sheÕ ll be running on both the Republican and Independence party lines, which she thinks will help her chances greatly. Ò I know that I have a lot of bipartisan support from my Democrat friends, whoÕ ve made it very clear that theyÕ re going to be there to support me in November. Obviously the Independence line gives them the option, if they donÕ t want to jump on the Ò RÓ line, so I feel very very comfortable about it,Ó Duprey said.

Bisso will be running on the Conservative line in the November election.

Duprey, to her surprise, was out-polled in her home county of Clinton, as well as the segment of St. Lawrence County which makes up the 115th Assembly District. She carried Franklin County, and garnered about 90 percent of the absentee ballotts which were counted in Franklin this past week.

According to Duprey, her voting record on the Safe Act and Common Core have been misrepresented by her political opponents. She was one of the 43 Assembly members to vote against the act, which has proven to be wildly unpopular in her home district. Ò I got 434 e-mails on the Safe Act between the time it was announced at a time it was voted on,

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ This will be the last call for volunteers to assist Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School with the construction of their new green classroom.

Volunteers are encouraged to join them on Sept. 27 and 28 to assist in the project.

They will need any of the following materials to help build the space: Twenty-five car tires, posthole digger/auger, shovels, tree pruners, power tools to build tables and benches and any landscaping tools. All items except tires will be returned at the end of the project.

Among the projects are the creation of a stepping stone walkway, building picnic tables and benches, installing fence posts/ shade sail posts, painting and staining and planting trees and shrubs.

and 432 opposed and only two were in favor of it. ItÕ s the only issue IÕ ve had, ever, that was that lopsided. Ò SCOPE, which is one of the major gun rating agencies, gave me an A+ in the Assembly, and they have consistently for my stand for gun rights.Ó She says however that in New YorkÕ s Democrat dominated political establshment it will be impossible to repeal the Act. She hopes instead to be able to pass amendments that will water the law down somewhat, making it more fair to Upstate sportsmen.

Likewise, Duprey doesnÕ t think it will be possible to repeal Common Core, but hopes to Ò Fix the things that are wrong,Ó about it.

One issue that Duprey says distinguishes her from her opponent is her stand on the North Country Economic Development Council. The Council, with offices in Plattsburgh and Watertown, offers various types of financial and other support to upstate businesses. Ò The North Country Economic Development Council, co-chaired by Garry Douglas, and Dr. Tony Collins, has brought in $274.7 million to the North Country. I work with them very closely, I go to as many meetings as I can.

Bisso has momentum after strong primary showing Will contest Duprey on Conservative Party line

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Karen Bisso, who came close to edging out Republican Assemblywoman Janet Duprey in the party primary, feels like she has momentum going into the general election.

Bisso, who was a mere 101 votes behind Duprey before absentee ballots were counted, will appear on the Conservative Party line against her in the November 4 election. Bisso carried Clinton and part of St. Lawrence Counties, losing Franklin County by 126 votes. Duprey later carried the absentee ballots in Franklin by a wide margin. Ò I feel great, I feel really good,Ó said Bisso. Ò Regardless of what happens with the Republican primary, when you have 13 percent show up you obviously wish for more, but this was a tremendous showing against an incumbent, and IÕ m very pleased with what I did.Ó Bisso said the will focus her efforts going door to door in and around Malone in the coming months, while she tries complete her goal of visiting every town board meeting in the 115th Assembly District.

In her run for the primary, her second run at the seat Duprey has held for the past eight years, Bisso made repealing the Safe Act and the Common Core her signature issues. She feels that repealing the Safe Act in particular will depend on who New York ends up with as Governor, but that it is a task worth pursuing, regardless of the challenges. Ò This, the Second Amendment, is the one that makes all the others possible, and if you let that one go then weÕ re done. If you grant the small arms Treaty at the federal level, and then New York State buys into that on the federal level just like Obama Care, then where are we? Defenseless. Whether or not full repeal could happen, doesn’t mean you stop fighting for it, and that’s how I feel,Ó said Bisso.

Bisso, who is a teacher at Plattsburgh High School, has also come out in strong opposition to the Common Core. She says that even if New York State has to pay back the federal government to get out of the Common Core, that the money can be found through cuts in other programs, like New YorkÕ s $58 billion Medicaid budget bill.

As she focuses now on the general election, Bisso is ready to bring out a new legislative agenda, which she feels will touch scores of North Country families. The issue is revamping the child support system, which she says is very often stacked against men. Ò I think that there is an enormous problem in the state of New York with the child support system, and it affects families, it affects kids, it affects men. I would really like to tackle that system.

There are many things wrong with the system, and I think is going to take a woman to stand up and talk about it, and IÕ m prepared to do that,Ó she said.

Bisso says that men are often either under-represented in the support system, or outright discriminated against. If elected, she hopes to hold forums in each of the three counties in the 115th

District, and hopefully get the ball rolling toward bipartisan legislation that might make the system more equitable.

While she that beating an incumbent is a daunting task, Bisso is feeling confident after her strong showing in the primary and relishes her outsider status. Ò IÕ m tremendously excited, I think weÕ ve done a lot of good work and I think weÕ ve got a lot more to do in Malone, and in Franklin County. You can move the party. Obviously you have to participate in party process, but that doesnÕ t mean you have to operate under their rules, and I have not operated under their rules, IÕ m okay with that.Ó

Town hopes for mulligan for Willsboro Golf Course

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — Golfers in this lakefront town may find themselves stuck in the sand trap if the two entities seeking to keep the Willsboro Golf Course alive Ñ the town and Peter Paine, the private owner who operates the facility as a public course Ñ canÕ t hammer out a deal.

Bill Bardeen, a resident who had previously co-chaired the townÕ s comprehensive plan committee, said while the course is losing tens of thousands in revenue after operating at a loss for three years, it remains a significant draw for the town, especially amongst seasonal residents. Ò We have to decide what we want to be,Ó he said.

Bardeen said feedback on the course has been positive. Many players, he reported to the town board last week, trumpeted its favorable conditions and said it compared to any of the municipal golf courses speckled across the region.

They come, they play and they pay, he said.

But thereÕ s one dilemma: Demographics.

Willsboro, mirroring the rest of the North Country, is getting older and services are contracting in response. Ò I can tick off six or seven players who wonÕ t be returning next year,Ó he said. Ò Club membership has been declining despite the course being kept in best shape as it has been in its history.Ó The best option, he said, is for the town to operate the facility as a municipal golf course with additional options to generate revenue, like food and drink service.

Caretaker Ernie LaPine said he sees the benefits firsthand. Ò I see what it does for this town,Ó he said. Ò We want to keep it open, keep it as nice as we can and make it an intricate part of town.Ó LaPine said after golfing, patrons ask where they can eat, shop and gas up.

Outsiders also bring guests with them, like Ronald Moore, the Gillilland calculated that the tax loss to the town would be North Hudson Supervisor who won a gift certificate at a recent negligible, less than $1,000 annually, while their insurance would civic function and has been back three times since. see a nominal increase.

The consent appeared to be unanimous: Ò We have to get down to that level of clarity before we can come Ò This town is seen as a vibrant community,Ó said Ed Launch, up with a hard deal.Ó a resident who said he has been golfing at the facility since 1989, Gillilland said personnel issues havenÕ t been explored. usually three times a week.

Ò My kids play better than I do. This is something they can do all of their lives.

And it provides the high school with a course.Ó Win Belanger, a local man of many talents, asked if the course would go off the tax rolls: Ò If itÕ s hemorrhaging, are we going to pick that up and make it profitable?”

Supervisor Shaun Gillilland said Paine, who did not respond for comment on this article, didnÕ t explicitly say he would close the course if an agreeFor an in depth article on former presidential candidate Ralph Nader, pictured ment wasnÕ t reached.

ROOST

From page 1 Think GoogleÕ s Street View, but more heady.

All views are tied to Google Maps. After launching the map interface, those images will link to more information on the appropriate destination website.

ROOST Communications Director Kim Reilly said the new toy is a natural fit for social media and will help promote the region as a whole to tech-savvy visitors. Ò Digital marketing trends continue to point towards the increasing importance of visual media,Ó added Carol Joannette, ROOST VP of Marketing. Ò These 360 degree images, while certainly canÕ t replicate the real thing, are a perfect way to showcase our gorgeous Adirondack product to new visitors.Ó Joannette stressed the image-heavy app, which contains almost zero descriptive copy, wonÕ t affect SEO results and compete with existing regional destination websites.

ROOST, the agency that promotes the countyÕ s tourism assets, designed the app in-house with web developers Jasen Lawrence and Shaun Ondack, who wowed guests with a demonstration on Thursday.

For $25, businesses within Essex and select portions of Franklin and Hamilton counties can opt in for a spin. ROOST will dispatch photographers to capture their venues. Other parties within the Blue Line can also get involved, but the cost jumps to $200.

www.valleynewsadk.com Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston was impressed: Ò This is exactly what we need to stay ahead of the competition,Ó he said. Ò Places like New Hampshire, the Catskills and Vermont.Ó ROOST has also spent much of the year quietly engaging in the destination master planning process, working with towns around the region to explore options for boosting their tourist economies.

Part of that process involves binding towns across Essex County together into districts that will play off their strengths and weaknesses. Ò Our challenge is facilities,Ó McKenna told Essex County lawmakers last month. Ò We have facilities in some of our towns that handle visitation. But until we get critical mass, thatÕ s what drives visitation and economic impact. ThatÕ s something we don’t solve overnight. We have to figure out what towns want: Do they want to use tourism is a growth angle? ThatÕ s something our organization is going to get more aggressive on over time.Ó On Thursday, he encouraged attendees to assist the agency by taking a survey to gauge the shopping scene in their communities.

Poll

From page 1 591 likely voters, found broad bipartisan support for Congressional term limits, minimum wage, immigration reform and enacting the so-called Buffet Rule, or applying a minimum income tax of 30 percent on millionaires.

The Affordable Care Act has continued to polarize voters, with Republicans and a plurality of independents supporting a repeal and Democrats in favor of sustaining the controversial health care law.

The view that the United States should focus on domestic issues rather than doing more in Syria and Iraq to combat terrorism, a question posted prior to President Barack ObamaÕ s speech on Wednesday that escalated American involve-

ment in the conflict, also had strong bipartisan appeal, a viewpoint supported by 52 percent of Republicans, 57 percent of independents and 60 percent of Democrats.

CANDIDATE REACTIONS Ò Since launching her campaign over a year ago, EliseÕ s message of new ideas and a new generation of leadership has resonated with voters across New YorkÕ s 21st District,Ó said Stefanik spokesman Lenny Alcivar in a statement. Ò Elise will continue her campaignÕ s focus on meeting with voters and on communicating her commonsense, positive vision for a stronger future for the North CountryÕ s hard working families, small businesses, military veterans and farmers,Ó he said.

Woolf expressed similar sentiments. Ò I will continue to work hard to talk with as many voters as I can about ways we can work together to create jobs, grow the middle class, and boost the North CountryÕ s economy,Ó he said in a statement. Ò Our momentum is building.Ó Funiciello said the results reflected a victory for Ò a non-corporate, grassroots funded campaign.Ó Ò When you think how much the corporate candidates have spent compared with us, weÕ re starting at 10 percent and weÕ ve havenÕ t spent a fraction of their campaigns,Ó he said in a release on Friday. Ò Voters are fed up with the two corporate parties funded by millionaires.Ó Funiciello said his campaign is aligned with the wishes of the voters more so than his two opponents, including public jobs programs, single-payer universal health care and ending an emphasis on foreign wars while focusing on rebuilding at home.

STATE OF THE RACE After JuneÕ s bruising Republican primary, the race went into hibernation for most of the summer before Woolf and Stefanik began sparring over several bold-faced issues last month, namely Medicare, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act. Outside groups and the national congressional committees have also jumped in, injecting a series of mostly-trivial non-stories into the campaign, from how candidates would have voted in elections outside of the district to issues of gender and personal income.

Stefanik and Woolf have engaged in similar strategies, criss-crossing the district meeting with voters, touring small businesses, attending fundraisers and hosting the occasional public event.

Funiciello, who has a significant fundraising disadvantage, has continued to work at his bakery in Glens Falls while making the occasional trips around the district.

On Sunday, heÕ ll be joined by former presidential candidate Ralph Nader and Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins in Glens Falls.

The candidate said he has drawn inspiration from viewings of An Unreasonable Man, a 2006 documentary about Nader, as well as studying the trajectory of Jesse Ventura, the professional wrestler who went from the ring to the Minnesota Governor’s office. Ò These are the models I wanted to follow: hon-

September 20, 2014 est and commonsense ideas,Ó said Funiciello.

Like Ventura, who was elected in 1998, Funiciello said he hoped the three televised debates, which are scheduled for October, will propel him to victory.

X-FACTORS Greenberg said anything could happen in the seven weeks until the general election on Nov. 4.

The candidates are still relatively unknown, with nearly half of voters saying they havenÕ t seen a Woolf commercial or been contacted by his campaign.

Nearly 40 percent say the same about the Stefanik campaign. Ò Stefanik has not closed the deal with voters and this race is far from over, particularly since only about one-third of voters say they are absolutely certain to stick with their current choice,Ó said Greenberg. Ò Both candidates have growth potential as they become more known to voters and as voters focus on the issues in the campaign.Ó Funiciello said this bodes well for his campaign. Ò Democrats, Republicans and Independents find us equally favorable and they barely know us yet. The same canÕ t be said for people who know Stefanik and Woolf. To have spent so much money and still not be above 46 percent in EliseÕ s case, or 33 percent in AaronÕ s is shocking,Ó he wrote. Ò IÕ m the only candidate who will pull equally well from Independents, Democrats and Republicans, and the results of the debates are going to shock the district and the country.Ó Another question is the extent to which campaign Funiciello damages more with his resurgent candidacy, StefanikÕ s or WoolfÕ s.

In 2010, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman remained on the ballot after losing the GOP primary to Matt Doheny, a Watertownbased businessman who Stefanik also handily defeated in June. In that race, Doheny lost to Owens by 4,000 votes. Hoffman, running on the Conservative line, took 9,000 votes, a factor Doheny later attributed to his loss.

This year, while Stefanik has the Republican and Conservative Party ballot lines, Doheny remains on the Independence Line.

He endorsed Stefanik earlier this summer, promising his full support.

Three televised debates are scheduled to be held in October, with the exact details still being hammered out.

Saranac Lake Red Storm remain undefeated at 2-0

By Barrie Finnegan

denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ At the start of the game, the Saranac Lake Red Storm wanted to be introduced as one team, no individuals.

That is exactly what transpired on the field.

From a balanced offensive attack to the swarming defense, it was a total team effort as the Red Storm moved to 2-0 with a dominating 40-2 performance over Plattsburgh on Sept. 12.

Tristin Fitzgerald used a variety of weapons to score through the air as well as on the ground. Hard running by Dylan Kilner opened up the passing attack, which proved too much for the HornetsÕ defense.

Coach Bennett used his hurry up offense to keep the Plattsburgh defense on their heels. At one point during a 74-yard touchdown drive, five different running backs handled the ball.

The Hornets came out strong, playing a great first quarter which ended at 7-2, but the Red Storm soon caught stride and scored 20 unanswered 2nd quarter points.

After the first score of the game on a Fitzgerald pass to Alex Donaldson, the Hornets hung tough by forcing a safety on an intentional grounding call in the end zone. Dylan Kilner and Jason Stack each had interceptions leading to Red Storm scores.

Sophomore Joe Viscardo threw a great block to spring Torin Smith loose on a 40 yard pass play. Hornets Coach Pat Keleher was heard from the sideline shouting Ò Find some heart!Ó as the Red Storm closed in on a score, but Fitzgerald hit Donaldson for a leaping, 21 yard backward catch in the end zone for touchdown to close out the first half 27-2.

Killian Ryan scored on a five yard run and at that point the ground game for Saranac Lake took over for the remainder of the game.

Eagles run over Patriots in Section VII football action

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com AUSABLE VALLEY Ñ The EaglesÕ Justin Stevens eclipsed the 200 yard mark on the ground and Beekmantown rolled off 23 second quarter points on its way to a 43-22 win over AuSable Valley on Friday night, Sept. 12.

After a scoreless first quarter when both defenses held strong, the Eagles got on the board with a field goal before finding the end zone three more times before the half.

Stevens had 215 yards and two touchdowns, including a 48 yard touchdown run to make it 29-0 in the third. He also had 55 yards receiving and a touchdown grab. Ó HeÕ s our work horse and heÕ s our go-to guy,Ó said Eagles Coach Jamie Lozier.

BeekmantownÕ s running game wasnÕ t just a one-player show. The Eagles got rushing touchdowns from Tyler Newman, Dylan Peryea and Alex Archer as well. Tyler Myers chipped in 67 yards on the ground.

Though the ground attack helped carry Beekmantown to the win, Lozier added that the Eagles will need to continue working on the

passing game to compete as the season moves forward. Ó If we canÕ t develop and come up with something else, itÕ s going to be a long season,Ó said Lozier. Ò WeÕ re going to work really hard at it.Ó AuSable Valley found their offensive rhythm after StevensÕ third quarter touchdown run.

Quarterback William Coats threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns, including a 27-yard scoring throw to Lucas Perez for the Patriots’ first score of the season.

AuSable Valley was shutout by Saranac Lake 48-0 in their road opener.

Both teams had some trouble keeping the ball out of the hands of the defense on the chilly night. Coats threw five picks, including one that was returned for a touchdown before being called back on a penalty.

BeekmantownÕ s Mickey Pepper threw two interceptions as well. He completed three passes for 56 yards. Alex Archer got some time under center for the Eagles in the second half, throwing for 32 yards, including StevensÕ touchdown through the air.

Beekmantown, which lost 20-15 to Peru last week, picked up their first win of the season.

Moriah Vikings get by the Saranac Chiefs on the road

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ Progress was the theme in Saranac Saturday, Sept. 13 as the Chiefs fell to the Moriah Vikings 40-22.

The first half of the game was reminiscent of Saranac’s 33-0 loss to Ticonderoga as the Chiefs came back from halftime and limited their opponent to only seven points for the remainder of the game.

The first half of the game was action-packed for the Vikings as quarterback Adam Jaquish threw for 142 yards and 3 touchdowns. His main targets were Jarrod MacDougal, who had 59 receiving yards and two touchdowns, Cody Stockwell with 32 yards, Kyle Stockwell with 30 yards and Taylor Slattery with 21 yards and a touchdown.

Carrying the rushing game was Troy Welch with 45 yards and two touchdowns. Saranac quarterback Caiden Goodman didnÕ t complete a pass for the Chiefs but had 51 rushing yards in the first half.

The game shifted at the start of the second half. The Vikings came out looking complacentÑ Coach Donny Tesar said they took their lead for granted. With a majority of their time spent on defense, the Vikings scored seven in the second half.

The Chiefs’ game shifted when they scored their first touchdown. Relief flooded the end zone and a spark was ignited within the Saranac team. George Miller rushed for 77 yards, Caiden Goodman rushed for 22 yards and a touchdown and completed

a 10 yard touchdown pass to Dillan Clay and Rafael Rivera had a couple of carries for five yards and a touchdown after the break.

Saranac Coach Jason Daniels plans to build off of this spark and adjust accordingly. Blocking and coverage assignments improved from last week, but still need some work before playing in Saranac Lake on Saturday, Sept.

20.

Moriah had issues with penalties against Saranac. Three consecutive carries by Troy Welch totaling 83 yards all ended in penalties and ultimately cost the Vikings a possession. This is an area in need of improvement before they play the Ticonderoga Sentinels next week at home. Tesar said that the game will come down to who can produce in the trenches as the two teams know each other so well.

keith@denpubs.com PERU — A wet field and confident Ticonderoga squad held the Peru Indians at bay for three quarters of their Sept. 13 football game.

However, a strong fourth quarter on both sides of the ball and a little bit of good fortune helped the Indians to a 20-14 victory.

After jumping out to a 6-0 lead on a Blake Altizer 24-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Gallo, the Indians gave up 14 unanswered as Garrison Hughes connected on a screen pass with Ryan Trudeau who rumbled 54 yards for a touchdown, followed by a Hughes one-yard keeper after Brody Rocque intercepted an Altizer pass for a 14-6 lead heading into halftime and through the 12 minutes of the third quarter.

At the start of the fourth, the Sentinels were faced with a thirdand-16 deep in Peru territory. Hughes once again looked for Trudeau on a long pass play, but the ball just slipped through his fingers, bringing up fourth down.

On the punt, Gallo returned the ball 51 yards to set Peru up at the Sentinel 11-yard line. Four plays later, Altizer dove into the end zone from one yard out and completed a pass to Rivelino Hendricks for the two-point conversion to tie the game.

On the next Sentinel drive, Hughes was sacked twice by Troy Lawyer and Makenzie Boise, the second sending the Ti quarterback to the sideline for the rest of the game.

The Indians capitalized later in the fourth as Altizer again scored on a keeper from one yard out to make the score 20-14.

Two last ditch efforts by the Sentinels ended with interceptions by Gallo and Hendricks.

Altizer ended the game 14-for-37 passing with 183 yards, one touchdown and a pair of picks (Rocque, Parker Granger). He also ran 17 times for 63 yards including a pair of scores.

Gallo caught four balls for 80 yards, including a touchdown, while Altizer also connected with Troy Lawyer (5-45 yards), Hendricks (3-37), Ryan Lovely (1-15) and John Gallo (1-6).

On the ground, Brandon Sawyer had 22 carries for 130 yards with Hendricks running the ball twice for eight yards and John Gallo gaining one yard on one carry.

“We made a lot of mistakes in the first half,” Peru head coach Nick Damiani said. “We wanted to play down the field and play fast and the wet weather makes it a little hard. We had a big punt return that put us in position for the touchdown and that was huge.Ó The Indians next travel to AuSable Valley for a Friday evening, Sept. 19, game. Ò We have bene running the same stuff since day one and we

are still making mistakes on reads,Ó Damiani said on preparing to face the Patriots. Ò It is a lot on the mind of a young football player. They have to keep working to get it to all come together with the young guys. We will keep going over it and drilling it.Ó For the Sentinels, HughesÕ s lone completion was the 54-yard screen pass to Trudeau out of five attempts. Hughes also ran the ball 15 times for 53 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game, while Trudeau had 11 carries for 35 yards. Konner Bruce added 11 carries for 39 yards.

“I was very happy defensively with how we were flying around all over the place,Ó Ti head coach Scott Nephew said. Ò We need to keep doing what we are doing on defense and let the offense come around. We never like losing but it is an experience we had to have today.Ó Nephew said losing Hughes was a blow to the offense. Ò It hurts a little bit when any kids go down because it messes up your personnel packages,Ó he said. Ò It makes it hard.Ó Next for the Sentinels is the regular season preview of the eventual Class D championship game as they will travel to Moriah Friday, Sept. 19. Ò We donÕ t look at it any differently,Ó Nephew said of the regular season meeting of the two teams destined to meet for sectional glory. Ò We just get ready to go and we are looking to get better this week.Ó

Eagles blank Blue Bombers in windy contest Sept. 11

By Kyle Oehlbeck

denpubs@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Two first half goals by Chazy (3-1, 2-0) helped the Eagles top the Blue Bombers in a game dictated by wind factors Thursday, Sept. 11. With the wind at their back in the first half, Chazy’s right outside midfielder Tyler Hicks received the cross just outside the six-yard box and drilled it in for an early first half score.

The second goal came from center midfielder Josh Barriere late in the first half after the ball was played down the end line and a series of missed clearances by the Bombers landed the ball just outside the six-yard box. Barriere put it away in the far corner. Ò Lake Placid is always a tough place to play and I thought the guys did a good job of possessing the ball,Ó said Chazy Coach Rob McAuliffe. Ò It was a good win.Ó The Bombers played very physical all game but just couldnÕ t get things going on the offensive end with only three shots on goal. Chazy put ten shots on Lake Placid goalkeeper Noah Mohr. Ò With two less games this year, Chazy came two weeks early for our guys,Ó Lake Placid Coach Stuart Hemsley said. Ò Anytime the wind plays such a big role in the game it usually makes for poor matches. Chazy is the benchmark for menÕ s soccer in our area and we are getting better each year working towards that.Ó McAuliffe also noted that he was very pleased with how healthy his team is and how much his team has grown since last season.

The Eagles play a tough opponent in the Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins on Sept. 13 in at home in Chazy.
