St. John’s welcomes new priest Three-year search ends with formal installation on Oct. 7

By Kim Dedam • STA FF W RITER •

ESSEX | After searching for three years, the parish at St. John’s Episcopal Church here has a new priest.

Father Craig Hacker conducted his first worship service on Sept. 17, and he and his wife, Linda, are settling in at the rectory next to the church, said Carole Harsh, a junior warden with the parish.

Rev. Hacker arrived in September from northern, rural Maine. He grew up near Saratoga, and said coming here was like coming home.

“This is a small community with a deep faith that has manifested itself in its mission outreach and concern about

the world itself,” he said.

“That is one of the things that attracted me here, I relate it to the mustard seed: the tree is so huge compared to the seed.”

Even without a priest for three years, congregants at St. John’s have focused on local, national and international mission service.

The Two Row Project will assemble Native American tribal entities and indigenous knowledge experts to implement the programming update, which is expected to take three years.

Marketing study shows lots of tourists Visitors to Essex County responded to marketing

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County’s tourism marketing agency says visitors spent $63 each last year for every dollar spent on getting them here.

Lake Placid-based Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism President James McKenna recently told the County Board of Supervisors that his agency does an analysis of tourist visitation every year.

He said research firm PlaceMaking did the 2016 study, sending surveys by postal mail or email.

Around 5,000 of 25,000 visitors who were contacted responded, about 20 percent.

“The demographics are going younger all the time, so that’s a good sign for us,” he said. “We have more variety in yearround (activities), which is good for jobs and everything else.”

Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah) pointed out that fishing tourism was high in Essex County, due to many fishing tournaments held on Lake Champlain.

McKenna said the study shows 525,000 visitors were impacted by ROOST marketing, and generated $146.4 million in leisure visitor revenue.

The Leisure Travel Information Study results provide comprehensive traveler demographic insight for Essex, Franklin and Hamilton counties, he said.

In addition to providing demographic data and trends, the study’s intent is to measure the effectiveness of ROOST’s marketing programs, to measure the return-on-investment ratio for public marketing expenditures and the conversion rate factor, which represents the number of leads who actually visited the region, McKenna said.

Leads represent the contact information collected from individuals who responded to ROOST’s destination marketing efforts, such as online contest entries or newsletter sign ups.

Although lakeplacid.com received 1.1 million unique visitors in 2016, the survey takes only trackable leads into consideration.

By including Franklin and Hamilton counties’ data in the study for the first time, both key regional consistencies and county differences emerged in the results.

ROOST spent $2.33 million in tourism marketing for all three counties combined. Based on those figures, the study found that the three counties’ combined return-on-investment from ROOST was $63 for every $1 spent on marketing.

The study said outdoor activities were the largest draw to the area, followed by dining and shopping, and sightseeing in third place.

The average stay was 3.9 nights, and most people came in July and August, with an average age in the early fifties.

“The results of this study contribute to our data-driven decisions, informing our ongoing marketing strategies,” said McKenna.

He said each county has unique characteristics, and they will continue promoting them in different ways. ■

Comradery, elite units on display at state police open house Day-long event saw law enforcement pull back curtain on aviation, special response and K-9 units

convicted and sent to prison for the crime.

“With that kind of information, we just can’t wait,” Rezler said.

BROTHERS IN BLUE

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

RAY BROOK | New York State Police Troop B headquarters buzzed with activity Saturday as hundreds flocked to an open house designed to commemorate the state police’s centennial anniversary.

Turning 100 is no small feat, and the law enforcement agency spared no expense: Visitors got an extensive look behind the curtain through dozens of exhibitions and demonstrations.

Under cloudless skies and sizzling heat, the “Black Horse Troop’s” trademark black horses roamed the perimeter.

Helicopters buzzed overhead to demonstrate rescue missions. A chopper hovered low over an administrative building and a pair of camouflage-clad troopers quickly rappelled down a cable.

The helicopter circled back around, and a dummy was hoisted up.

Nearby, a scuba diver immersed in a tank waved at passersby and a group of elite troopers demonstrated defense tactics.

But the most popular event was the K-9 demonstrations. A crowd of at least 300 gathered for the first of two scheduled exhibitions — including by the team who tracked down the pair of convicted murderers who escaped from Dannemora in 2015, leading authorities on a 23-day manhunt.

Officials estimated 1,500 attended.

“It’s really reflective of the fact that we got so much support from the people locally and that our guys and gals are so involved in the community, that they’re actually willing to come out and support us when we support them,” said Troop B Commander Major John Tibbitts, Jr. It’s the same level of support represented in the manhunt, he said.

“Plus we don’t get a chance to show off a lot of the things we do or how we do it,” Tibbitts said, “and this is just a nice way to

put everything we do together in one spot and one day so you can actually see everything we’ve got to offer.”

Getting up close to aviation units and Special Operations Response Team (SORT) in particular, Tibbitts said, is rare for the public.

“When we get SORT involved, what’s the first thing we do? ‘Everybody move back,’” Tibbitts said. “Today it’s in a safe environment. You can see exactly what they do, only there’s no threat to them.”

The exhibitions were joined by historical exhibits and a “Wall of Honor” commemorating fallen troopers.

Vintage cruisers and motorcycles dating back to the 1940s were on display, including a 1966 Harley Davidson.

Matt Mayville of Bloomingdale is the head custodian at Saranac Lake Central School District. The state police has often held training drills at the school, and he’s gotten to know many law enforcement officials over the years.

He peered at a showcase of vintage firearms, including a Thompson submachine gun.

“I’m just interested in seeing the old guns they used,” Mayville said.

Visitors also had the opportunity to speak

with the Collision Reconstruction Unit and tour the facility’s forensics complex, where investigators detailed practices like fingerprinting, dusting for gunpowder residue, bullet trajectory, blood spatter analysis and the exhumation of human remains.

Investigator Matt Rozler walked a reporter through some of the troop’s most high-profile cases, including the disappearance of June Collard, the Minerva woman who vanished in 1980.

The Forensics Investigations Unit doggedly pursued the case, and a tip in 2010 eventually led investigators to apprehend her husband in Alabama, who confessed to killing her and burying her remains on their property.

In another case, an informant tipped the unit off to the location of a body in the Massena area.

Investigators dug through the snow-covered, frozen ground and the suspect was

The day-long event was also an opportunity for law enforcement officials to connect with their colleagues, and the comradery was on full display as what appeared to be hundreds of law enforcement officials and their families mingled with one another.

Tibbitts estimated seven of 25 of the troop’s commanders were on site.

Troop Commander John Lawless (Ret.) said he was pleased with the turnout.

“It brings awareness to what we’re doing in the North Country,” Lawless said. “It shows the communities support us. It’s very important to have public support.”

Lawless ran into a former colleague he hadn’t seen in 40 years.

“So happy to see older retired folks,” he said.

Trooper Jim Williams (Ret.) spent his career stationed in Wilmington, and was happy to be back.

“We see all the guys we can,” Williams said.

“It’s a real good organization in retirement.”

Trooper David Blades (Ret.) strolled the grounds.

“They did a real good job,” Blades said, referring to the displays and exhibits.

Trooper Rex Reynolds, who is on active duty and based in Ogdensburg, said the situation can often be tense when regular folks interact with law enforcement, and it’s important to facilitate these types of events to forge a connection with the public.

“We promote our professionalism and what we’re all about,” Reynolds said. ■ COVER: Visitors view the Wall of Honor at the New York State Police Troop B headquarters in Ray Brook, New York. Over 1,500 attended the centennial open house on Saturday, Sept. 24. .

Public gets rare glimpse of state police’s K-9 unit in action Light-hearted demonstration wows crowd of hundreds

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

RAY BROOK | Dogs are man’s best friend.

They’re also deft crimefighters.

A live demonstration by the New York State Police’s Troop B K-9 Unit was a smash-hit on Saturday, regaling hundreds of visitors with a rare look at their abilities at the troop’s open house.

Crowds cooed at the demonstration of bloodhounds, bomb-sniffers and narcotic detection dogs.

“We’re one of the largest K-9 units in the country,” said Trooper Matt Carniglia, a K-9 expert. “And we’re one of the most productive and efficient units in the country.”

The unit was formed in the mid-1970s to detect explosives at the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid.

A team of just two canines has grown to its current strength about 90.

Once donated by local residents, the Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Labrador retrievers and bloodhounds are purchased from Europe and cost a minimum of $5,000.

Carniglia likened them to Apple products.

“No viruses,” he said.

Each are highly specialized.

“We have radically different guys who do radically different things,” Carniglia said.

Trooper Shannon Saunders demonstrated basic obedience skills with PJ, who is three.

PJ constantly looked at his handler: “What’s next bud?” said Carniglia as PJ stayed hyperattentive to Saunders and his commands.

Shay has been trained as a search dog.

Detection of drugs, bombs and ammunition are their “bread and butter,” and their reaction is different when each is discovered.

Trooper Nathan D’Arienzo led Shay around a van, where he quickly zeroed in on contraband and alerted him by pawing at the door in what’s known as an “aggressive alert.”

Bomb detection, on the other hand, requires a more “passive alert.” Shay immediately detected a suspicious item — a cooler — in a line of paint cans and lay prone.

Handlers then deployed a remote-controlled robot, which moved the cooler out of harm’s way.

A heavily-armored bomb expert ventured towards the item (“It’s the job no one wants,” quipped Carniglia) and opened the cooler, which revealed a teddy bear, which he gave to a young audience member.

The crowd of about 300 delighted at the canines, who obediently waited with their handlers for their turn in the spotlight.

Perhaps the most high-profile members of the unit are the bloodhounds that played a leading role in tracking down a pair of escaped murderers from Clinton Correctional Facility in 2015.

The K-9 unit had just two bloodhound teams ahead of the escape, a specialized unit that is now doubled to four.

Trooper Mike Phelps said Stanley, aged 16 months, is well-trained to detect human scent and track older trails.

“He’s the most lovable dog I’ve ever met,” said Phelps.

“And he’s tracking to get a hug at the end.”

Others are trained specifically for subduing suspects — including biting if necessary.

Their jaws are strong enough to blow up car tires.

Trainers once used bite sleeves, which ultimately led to the dogs fixating on them.

But, as Carniglia pointed out, “Bad guys don’t wear bite sleeves.”

At one point, a heckler in grungy-looking clothes interrupted the troopers. The handlers told him to leave, and the heckler caused a spectacle on his way out.

He engaged in threatening behavior; the dogs sprung to

action and the man — who turned out to be a plant — was cowering within seconds.

“No bite handler wants to see their dog hurt anyone,” said Carniglia.

Trainers prefer purchasing canines under the age of 1 to avoid having to break bad habits.

To pay homage to troopers killed in the line of duty, each of the canines are named after fallen lawman: Stanley, for instance, was named for Trooper Stanley C. Greene, who died in a motorcycle accident in the 1930s.

Training, held at the Basic Handler School in Cooperstown, takes about 10 weeks for the canines and six months for handlers.

All have the battle scars to prove it, said Carniglia, including a recent incident that left a handler with 14 stitches.

While the canines live with their handlers, life outside of work is austere and secluded because the state police want all affection and love associated with the job.

“And that makes them crazy to work,” said Carniglia.

After a long career catching bad guys, the canines are retired at eight, and have an easier retirement — including engaging simple pleasures like Frisbee.

“They’re with us until the day they die.” ■

Top cop recalls Dannemora manhunt in new memoir “Relentless Pursuit” details little-known facts of command center, says Major Charles Guess

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

RAY BROOK | Just two years after a pair of convicted killers broke out of Clinton Correctional in a sophisticated escape plot, interest in the caper is surging.

Over 1,000 people auditioned for bit parts in “Escape from Dannemora,” the Ben Stillerhelmed Showtime documentary series that’s filming now in Plattsburgh and Dannemora.

Accomplice Joyce Mitchell continues to garner headlines every time she’s up for parole, including just three weeks ago.

Now, the law enforcement official in charge of the manhunt has written a book detailing the hunt for David Sweat and Richard Matt.

New York State Police Major Charles Guess planned a quiet retirement when he signed off in 2016.

“I hadn’t really contemplated writing this book,” he told The Sun. “Frankly, it was my wife Eleanor who said to me, realistically, if you don’t write the book, somebody will.

And you’re probably going to buy it and say, ‘It really didn’t happen that way.’”

Sweat and Matt used smuggled tools to burrow through their cellblock, eventually emerging through a manhole outside of the maximum security prison. They alluded capture for 23 days before Matt was fatally shot by a federal agent and Sweat was captured two days later.

Guess said there’s some misinformation about the event that placed northern New York squarely in the international spotlight for three weeks.

“So from my point of view, I wanted to get some form of comprehensive record established that accurately portrayed the efforts of law enforcement, folks in the community, and speak specifically to the 23 days that we all suffered through in June of 2015,” Guess said.

The result is “Relentless Pursuit: Inside the Escape from Dannemora: New York’s Largest Manhunt,” which is out now via Indianapolis-based publisher Dog Ear Publishing.

Guess, 56, said the details underpinning the death of Matt and the takedown of Sweat near the Canadian border by Trooper Jay Cook are well-known.

But much of the unknown internal workings of the command post — including the Border Patrol Tactical Unit — are explored in the book for the first time.

The major, who took command of Troop B just months before the manhunt and retired a year afterwards, also said he wanted to explore other aspects of his career.

Those include the Sept. 11 attacks, the TWA Flight 800 aircraft crash and the search of Ralph “Bucky” Phillips, a career criminal who escaped from a western New York jail and shot three state troopers — one fatally — before he was captured five months later.

Those experiences helped prepare him to take on the challenge of a lifetime.

Guess said he’s serving as a technical advisor on “Escape from Dannemora.”

“I’m pleasantly surprised with director Ben Stiller and his key staff members in their desire to portray this from a position of authenticity, reality and sensitivity,” he said.

The affection is mutual: Stiller plugged “Relentless” on Twitter last week: “Loving working with Maj. Charles Guess on #EscapeFromDannamora,” Stiller wrote.

“He led the manhunt & his book relentlesspursuittrooper.com is the best account.”

Guess also has a cameo in the mini-series.

Two prison employees were arrested in conjunction with the escape: Mitchell, who is serving seven years on a contraband charge, and Gene Palmer, a corrections officer who served four months

in county jail after admitting to smuggling the inmates tools they used to escape the facility in a block of frozen hamburger meat provided by Mitchell.

The breakout remains a raw subject in the community and Guess hopes the film can serve as a redemption for those who helped capture the duo, as well as cast law enforcement in a favorable light.

“A segment of the population — corrections, for example — has been painted with a broad brush, unfairly I think,” Guess said.

“In any organization when you have 30,000plus people, and a handful of them are responsible for some of the misdeeds that were related to the escape, the rest of them are outstanding professionals and clearly contributed to apprehending those folks.”

BROTHERS IN GRAY

Guess spoke to a reporter as he signed copies of the book at Troop B’s open house in Ray Brook on Saturday.

Many of those waiting in line for autographed copies and photos were fellow members of law enforcement, and conversation was spiked with nostalgia as attendees swapped war stories from the manhunt.

A lieutenant with the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision who asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly said he hoped the public would learn “a lot of positive changes resulted in what happened.”

Greg Phillips, a retired corrections officer, lives in Mountain View, which became the epicenter of the search during the final days.

“It’ll be interesting to read to see the truth and not the lies,” said Phillips, who called Guess “a very impressive man.”

Collette LeDuc of Malone had retired as a long-time civilian state police employee before the escape.

LeDuc vividly recalled the flurry of squad cars rushing by when Sweat was shot in nearby Constable, New York — but was out of the loop.

“I just want to read to see behind the scenes,” LeDuc said.

Thom Thorne of Malone clutched two copies of the book.

Both of his parents worked in law enforcement, he said, and he has a deep respect for the state police.

“It was a really professional job,” Thorne said of the manhunt.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

National discourse Political rancor continues to invade nearly every facet of life.

This past weekend the NFL jumped headBy Dan Alexander long into the fracas • PUBLISHER • after President Donald Trump decided to call out the players protesting during the playing of the national anthem.

Instead of seeing the protests quelled, owners, coaches, and the league opted to join the few protesting players by showing solidarity with the players. Some teams stood arm in arm. Three teams decided not to come out on the field until after the playing of the anthem.

The National Anthem has been a fixture at America’s sporting events since 1862. What was once thought of as a unifying tune that served to bring the country together has now been put in a position to further divide the sides.

I fear America has suffered a social breakdown, much like an insane person who argues with themselves back and forth never finding peace or rest.

Without serious medical help, the patient most times cannot recover on their own and continues to regress into deeper and deeper stages.

We’ve seen bitter political battles and gridlock before. Protests are nothing new.

Heck, we gave birth to the nation out of a protest which is what the anthem is all about.

But this constant fighting is spilling out and it’s far too deeply rooted to think this is just a phase we are going through.

When our entertainment, sporting events, theater, schools, fashion, social media and even the church pulpits can’t function without politicizing their craft where do we turn for peace and comfort?

Boycotts, shaming, shunning, violence, destruction and legal battles I fear are only the beginning if we can’t find common ground.

We’re spending millions trying to determine if Russia interfered with our election and worrying about North Korea and Iran with nukes when we can’t even put aside our differences for a few hours to watch athletic millionaires concuss each other.

The entire situation has me torn to pieces. One minute I want to cry for our country and the next I want to laugh at how foolish all this has become.

At this point, I’m not sure if I’m writing a humorous column or a serious column.

In the end, I guess it really doesn’t matter. If we can’t get along and we can’t agree to disagree are we locked in a perpetual state of psychosis? Doctor Phil, we need help! ■

Opinion

suncommunitynews.com/opinions

From the Editorial Board Country should resist taking hyper-partisan bait We’re whipsawing from one crisis to another, whether it’s an escalation of tensions with North Korea, the threat of large-scale deportation of young immigrants to ongoing skirmishes over healthcare and flirtations with an all-out race war.

It really does seem like we’ve descended into an unhealthy sense of tribalism with no end in sight.

Americans haven’t only retreated into their partisan corners, but they’ve painted themselves in.

It’s evident the country is increasingly being carved into two distinct tribal war zones, each with their own value systems that they are led to believe are mutually incompatible with one another.

In a sense, as U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, Republican from Nebraska, pointed out over the weekend, this is divisiveness by design.

Andrew Sullivan wrote about this tribalism at length last week in an essay for New York magazine, “America Wasn’t Built for Humans,” arguing that this division has become our nation’s greatest vulnerability.

Regardless of how you feel about the current occupant of the Oval Office, evidence is mounting that his combative style is having a

measurable impact on not only crystallizing a sense of entrenched partisanship, but how we view each other outside of a political lens: “And so by 2017, 41 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of Democrats said they disagreed not just with their opponents’ political views, but with their values and goals beyond politics as well,” Sullivan wrote.

Just think about how dangerous it is to ascribe different values to those to which you disagree with politically: We should be able to debate our respective policies on health care, tax reform and foreign relations without being accused of un-American, for instance.

A poll by Monmouth University, Sullivan noted, revealed 61 percent of President Trump’s supporters say there’s nothing he could do to make them change their minds about him.

Fifty-seven percent of his opponents said the same thing.

This partisan entrenchment is given flight by the concept of “whataboutism,” which the Washington Post defined as “the practice of short-circuiting an argument by asserting moral equivalency between two things that aren’t necessarily comparable.”

Our prisons are no better

Of course Margaret is right (“Newcomers to the North Country?” published in the Sept. 23 edition). However, our prisons were no better. The cause of that war has been debated for many years and focuses on “self determination” and “slavery.” I think maybe Margaret should comment on the secession of California as some of the liberal extremists are trying nowadays. Does arguing against the secession classify as saving America?

many colleges and private schools. Further, of the 200 students, 25 come from other school districts and pay only $1,500 to Bolton.

I recommend instead that the Bolton School District combine with the Lake George School District. Keep the Bolton facility as an elementary school with grades K through 8 and have grades 9 through 12 go to Lake George High School.

As it is now, Bolton combines with several other schools in sports because it has insufficient numbers for many team sports.

Bolton currently has a superintendent, a principal, 32 teachers, eight semi-teachers, guidance, etc.

With an enrollment of 200, this amounts to one teacher per five students. Actual class sizes vary from 10 to 20 per teacher.

Classes 9 through 12 have a total of 61 students. They could easily be handled at Lake George High School and eliminate the need for a new auditorium/music facility ($6.7 million) plus reduce the annual $8 million budget by eliminating the superintendent and several teachers.

In any case, I urge the voters to again reject the auditorium, music facility addition.

this and he said that.

The Cold War era tactic is “having a moment,” the newspaper reported.

It is a tactic some us have seen firsthand in China. While the nation is still shedding its Communist trappings, it remains authoritarian to its core, and this sense of “whataboutism” is used to undermine confidence in western values, including multiculturalism, freedom of speech and democracy.

To see that strategy being deployed in the U.S. is extremely disheartening.

This senseless refrain has, in fact, infected our entire body politic.

Not even professional sports, as we learned over the weekend, is immune from this toxicity.

It’s a nihilistic trainwreck amplified by around-the-clock cable news coverage, social media and our growing preference for seeking news from media outlets that reaffirm and reinforce our worldview.

But it should also serve as reminder for all of us not to get sucked into the stench of contemporary U.S. politics, and that we’re being led by the nose by forces eager to exploit our penchant for decisiveness and use it to their own advantage. ■

Protesters urge Stefanik to ‘grow a spine’ as GOP health care bill heads to vote Stefanik concerned about deep cuts to Medicaid

“I expect any of these senators will change their mind at the last minute,” said Mari Cordes, 58, of Lincoln, Vt.

By Pete DeMola

Graham-Cassidy would replace federal ACA funding with more than $1 trillion in block grants to states, a measure the lawmakers say will allow states to reassert control over healthcare costs.

States would then have large degree of autonomy over how they could structure healthcare services, including the creation of high-risk pools for those with pre-existing conditions.

States could also create their own exchanges, or subsidize the costs of high premiums.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has not yet analyzed the bill. But previous estimates of past GOP-penned bills revealed a minimum of 20 million Americans going uninsured.

EDITOR

ELIZABETHTOWN | As the latest Republicanled plan to repeal “Obamacare” was plugged into life support Friday evening, protestors marched to Rep. Elise Stefanik’s district office in downtown Plattsburgh, forming a human chain designed to resemble a backbone and urging the lawmaker to “grow a spine.”

“It seems like every week, we have to beg our government not to kill us,” said Amber Germano, 33, of Saranac.

About 50 activists gathered at Trinity Park asking Stefanik to oppose the Cassidy-Graham bill, the latest plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Organizers passed out black squares of construction paper with vertebra drawn on them.

The group made their way down Durkee Street past a happy hour crowd taking in the unseasonably warm weather.

“Kill the bill!” they chanted.

Senate Republicans have been scrambling to rally support for the legislation by Sept. 30, the deadline for passing a bill with 50 votes.

STEFANIK SAYS

Stefanik continues to support repealing and replacing President Obama’s signature healthcare law with “reforms that lower costs, increase quality and improve access,” said Tom Flanagin, a spokesman.

Like past efforts, the bill sponsored by Sens.

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana would contain deep cuts to Medicaid, capping its spending and dismantling its expansion by 2020.

“She does have concerns about the Medicaid funding under the Graham-Cassidy proposal,” Flanagin said.

Coverage mandates would also be eliminated, as would cost-saving subsidies for consumers.

Flanagin pointed to a report by the PostStar quoting Stefanik telling attendees of a Rotary Club lunch meeting in Glens Falls on Thursday that New York could stand to lose as much as $18 billion in Medicaid funding.

Stefanik, who receives coverage under the Affordable Care Act, said the movement to reform the legislation should have been conducted in a bipartisan manner.

The House narrowly passed their repeal bill in May. The Senate has made several attempts to pass companion legislature before it heads back to the lower chamber.

“There are potential changes being made to this proposal and Congresswoman Stefanik is looking to see what healthcare legislation can ultimately pass the Senate,” Flanagin told The Sun, noting the lawmaker spearheaded changes during the drafting process of the House legislation.

Despite the possible defeat of the legislation, several said they didn’t plan on giving up — not until Sept. 30.

NO CBO SCORE

BAD FOR HOSPITALS

Elizabeth Deutsch, a registered nurse who attended the protest, said an increase in uninsured patients would have negative impacts on the entire healthcare system.

Patients would be sicker from avoiding preventive care. They would utilize emergency rooms as a last resort, she said, and their ultimate prognosis would be poorer.

Deutsch, 48, of Heinsburg, Vt., said rural hospitals — particularly critical access hospitals like those in the region — are not well-cushioned against shocks in the insurance market.

“When you destabilize insurance markets, you destabilize budgets for hospitals,” she said. “It’s a multi-faceted program that effects lives, health and the economy.”

Graham-Cassidy would cut $18.9 billion annually from New York’s health care system by 2026 and jeopardize health care coverage for 2.7 million state residents, according to materials provided by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office.

Cheese Tour upcoming

KEESEVILLE | The fourth annual Essex County Cheese Tour is slated for Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Free farm tours and cheese samples will be given at the participating locations: North Country Creamery in Keeseville, Asgaard Farm & Dairy in Au Sable Forks and Sugar House Creamery in Upper Jay. Food from Clover Mead Cafe & Farm Store in Keeseville, Northern Feast Catering in Keeseville and Mace Chasm Farm in Keeseville will be served at the three sites.

O STANDUP FOR OUR HEALTHCARE ...

We will bringon.e to her

Protesters rallied in Plattsburgh on Friday, Sept. 22 to urge Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) to oppose the U.S. Senate’s Cassidy-Graham health care bill.

Photo by Pete DeMola “From a fiscal point of view, healthcare for all will save massive amounts of money,” he said in a phone interview.

Stefanik opposes the single-payer health model, citing “dangerous inefficiency and delays” seen firsthand through the VA, Flanagin said.

Critics of the legislation have also cited the cost. A study by the Urban Institute found such a system would cost the federal government $32 trillion.

“In the meantime, (Stefanik) is working in a bipartisan fashion on solutions to help her constituents, including recently introducing legislation to protect funding for community health centers that serve over 95,000 people in our district,” Flangain said. “She is committed to achieving a 21st century healthcare system for families and businesses across the North Country.”

Stefanik was in Plattsburgh on Friday, visit-

Stefanik has faced heat from constituents following her vote to repeal the ACA in May. The lawmaker fended off a tough crowd at a town hall in Plattsburgh, and at least six challengers have entered the Democratic primary, most of them citing healthcare as a reason for entering the race.

In the House version of the legislation, Stefanik worked to bolster provisions for maternity and mental health coverage, as well as sought an increase in funding to combat opiate addiction.

But activists were not satiated.

“It’s like throwing little balloons — it’s a pittance,” said Joe Seeman, of Ballston Spa, calling the modifications “minute technical details designed to obfuscate.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont this month introduced a universal Medicare bill. The proposed legislation includes a provision written by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York that would allow Americans to buy into a public health insurance plan during a transition period to single-payer.

Seeman wants Stefanik to support that legislation.

Passports can be picked up at any of the participating businesses. Those who visit and get stamps from all three locations will have a chance to win one of two prizes.

ing the Advanced Institute for Manfacturing at Clinton Community College and BC3G Interconnect USA, a telecommunications firm, according to the lawmaker’s Twitter posts.

The stops were not advertised to the press beforehand or made available on a public schedule.

Flanagin did not respond to directly to questions if Stefanik planned on meeting with any protestors, activists or constituents regarding healthcare or other issues during the trip.

As protestors chanted under a glaring sun — “Get up, get down, health care justice has come to town!” — the blinds at Stefanik’s office were drawn and the second-floor rooms appeared to be dark and unoccupied.

“Stefanik as usual is just avoiding,” said Ashley Tabaraka, 34, of Morrisonville. “In the long run, it’s not going to help our district.” ■

Rooms restored at historic Deer’s Head Inn Proprietors win 2017 Preservation Award for restoration work

\ffi

~

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Four rooms upstairs at the Deer’s Head Inn are renovated and reopened, appointed in fresh, white bedding, braided rugs and new bathrooms.

The attention to historic Deer’s Head detail and its legendary sense of place recently earned the inn a 2017 Preservation Award from Adirondack Architectural Heritage.

The award, presented last Monday, recognized the Deer’s Head as one among five projects “that exemplify the extraordinary preservation work being done in communities throughout the Adirondacks,” according to AARCH Executive Director Steve Englehart.

A few of the rooms have porches attached through glass-paneled doors to the rural bustle of Elizabethtown’s streets outside.

The art of reinvention itself is evident in rooms upstairs, from the way books with opposing political views, current and historic, lined side-by-side on the same shelf. There are retro-modern chairs and a bright orange fold-out futon matched with antique wooden chairs. A rug rowed with skull emoticons softens one porch floor. It’s seems to blend here and now with there and then, a fitting of past into present.

Old record players in the rooms work, so guests can send melodies from the pop band ABBA or old blues riffs crooning out the Deer’s Head windows, if they wish.

There are no televisions, diversion given instead to books or to the bright trill of late summer crickets or, occasionally, fiddles sawing live music in the tavern downstairs.

The Deer’s Head rooms are simply numbered: 1, 2, 3 and 4.

“And we’re working on five,” Mihalyi said of the inn’s keeping.

The narrow hallway connects room with creaking old floorboards to some hardwood floors newly laid. The room arrangement could fit a group’s summer or winter getaway, very reminiscent of how old rustic Adirondack hotel rooms once pulled entire families out of a city together every season. ■

Construction nearly completed at Lewis Veterans Park Names of local vets now being sought for inclusion

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

LEWIS | The Veteran’s Memorial park in Lewis is nearing construction’s end.

The tall flagpole and yardarm are now surrounded by stone flanks that soon will hold eight bronze plaques, one for official wars since the American Revolution.

And the Veterans Park Committee wants to be sure all Lewis veterans are named.

American Legion Post 1319 Commander Dave Blades, former supervisor of Lewis, said they have collected around 300 names so far.

“We are hoping people will call us, call the town hall in Lewis, my number, or post a message on our Facebook page: Lewis Veterans Park.”

The plaques will commemorate Lewis military personnel who served during periods of time that the federal government prescribed as war.

“We are looking at those individuals that entered the service while living in Lewis or have been a resident of Lewis for at least 10 years,” Blades said.

The stone facades will hold plaques for the American Revolution; the War of 1812; Civil War; Mexican American War; Indian Wars; World War I; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Iraq and the Afghanistan War. “Right now the list that we have established, an that’s an evolving list, is posted on our Facebook page. The list is also at the Town Hall. We want to know if there is anybody out there that we’re missing,” Blades said.

Once the plaques are inscribed with half-inch letters, they can’t be changed.

“We hope that family members will help out if an elder veteran does not have a computer, and families can also help especially for those that are deceased.”

In this the third year since the park idea was brought forward, much has been accomplished. The community park now has benches inside the stone walls.

Concrete forms set in July allowed for work on the stone masonry facade around the park this month. New granite benches and a formal granite sign in front were installed in late August.

“Right now, this is the third year we have been working on the park. Of course the first year was fundraising. We are pretty close to where most everything that is physical needs to be done,” Blades said.

“Except the landscaping, that will come in season.”

And the final list for the memorial.

“We want to have all of the names collated by the end of this year, so we can have all the plaques done in the spring ahead of a ceremony we hope to have on Memorial Day 2018.”

The Lewis Veteran’s Park Committee initiated and designed the public park, which is on town property.

“My friends all hate their cell phones…

I love mine!” Here’s why.

“Cell phones have gotten so small, I can barely dial mine.”

Not the Jitterbug ® Flip. It features a large keypad for easier dialing. It even has a larger display and a powerful, hearing aid compatible speaker, so it’s easy to see and conversations are clear. Isn’t it time you found out more about the cell phone that’s changing all the rules? Call now.

The Lewis Veterans Park is a public place, meant for reflection, Blades said.

“Yes it is to recognize our veterans, but it’s also for people to come to, to reflect, it’s a place that is secure. We’ve had a lot of donations from people who aren’t veterans, just people who feel it is important to have something like this in the Town of Lewis.”

There are t-shirts to support the project at Denton’s Store in Lewis.

Others who might wish to contribute can send donations to: The Lewis Veterans Park, P.O. Box 502, Lewis NY 12050 Blades can be reached by telephone at: (518) 873-2017 to add a veteran’s name. Residents can also call the town hall: (518) 873-6777. ■

“The town is involved but is not funding the veterans’ memorial. We’re running the fundraisers and doing some of the physical work with our members,” Blades said of the American Legion and the committee, which he said has had enormous support from people in town and nearby, helping with everything from digging ditches, installing the large flag pole, moving and placing granite and building forms.

“A lot of people have stepped up to help. We’ve gotten a lot of assistance from Jay Heald at the funeral home. The people that we contracted with have been very gracious, too.

“There was not a lot of fundraising this year, but there will be more programs to raise money, because we plan to establish a fund to maintain the property for the future,” Blades said.

Peanut is a little wary of strangers but will warm up to you pretty quickly when he has the chance to give you a good sniff. He gets a bit agitated when other dogs pass by his kennel, but out on walks, he is much more receptive to his fellow canines. Once he knows you, he is a comical, funny little guy and playful and cuddly. If you’re looking for a perfect little pocket buddy, please come meet Peanut today. We are sure he’ll make you smile!

» Wild Center Cont. from pg. 1 2006, I recognized that The Wild Center was focused on western science and interpretation, missing the opportunity of the thousands of years of indigenous knowledge,” said Wild Center Executive Director Stephanie Ratcliffe in a statement.

But adding this perspective was something the museum could not do alone, Ratcliffe said, and relationship-building was critical for its initiation.

Partners include the Six Nations Indian Museum, the Akwesasne Cultural Center, the Indigenous Education Institute and the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

The grant funds constitute about half of what it will cost to complete the initiative.

A “Two Row” relationship is one in which there is equality, said Sue Herne, program coordinator of the Akwesasne Cultural Center-Museum.

“While The Wild Center is the larger organization, the two indigenous museums in the partnership will have an equal voice in the process,” Herne said.

Each of the three museums will be able to add new and creative aspects to the sites, and visitors will gain new perspectives on how culture can impact environmental decisions, she said.

Leading the upgrades at The Wild Center is a “reinterpretation” of the Marsh Oxbow exhibit from the perspective of the Akwesasne Mohawk.

The sweeping vista incorporates outside marshlands into an indoor atrium, giving the illusion that the ponds run indoors.

David Fadden, director of the Six Nations Indian Museum, has worked with The Wild Center for years on narrative storytelling projects.

While gazing across the marsh, Fadden is always reminded of the Iroquois philosophy towards the environment as codified in their “Thanksgiving Address.”

“Every person is supposed to say words of thankfulness to all parts of creation,” Fadden said, “from food to stars to the sun and moon.

“In a way, it’s really to put us in the right perspective every day.”

Federal funds awarded to The Wild Center will pave the way for a sweeping, collaborative project designed to incorporate the region’s indigenous perspective into existing installations.

Photo provided Fadden is currently sketching out ideas for how to incorporate that belief system into the exhibit.

Doing so, he said, will allow a broader audience to learn about the culture of the original inhabitants of the area and help diminish some of the misconceptions about the Haudenosaunee.

“Through programming and exhibit design, we can help reach the goals of education and enlightenment with respect to the health of the earth during this critical time in earth’s history,” Fadden said in a statement.

“We’re all pretty excited about it and ready to go full force and full-speed ahead to get it done.”

Additional ideas include a storytelling video by the Six Nations Indian Museum in Onchiota, New York and the Akwesasne Cultural Center (ACC).

The partnership will also develop a canoe trip along The Wild Center’s oxbow on the Raquette River that shares both western science and Native American ecological knowledge.

Two traveling exhibits are also slated for 2018, including a project spearheaded by ACC designed to provide an introduction to their community’s culture, lifestyle and ecology.

The second, created by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, will help visitors discover

the “modern-day partnership between western science and traditional knowledge through the stories of four communities addressing challenges using both of these perspectives,” according to materials provided by The Wild Center.

OTHER BENEFICIARIES

Two other local museums received funding: The Adirondack Experience received $140,000, and Historic Saranac Lake received $20,650 to aid in the long-term preservation of its collections.

“These artifacts help tell the story of Saranac Lake’s unique history as a tuberculosis treatment destination, and help us connect visitors of all ages with the people who made Saranac Lake what it is today,” said Museum Administrator Chessie Monks-Kelly in a statement.

“The collections are always growing, and we want to make sure we have a plan to ensure

that they are available to tell that story for generations to come.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) announced the awards on Sept. 19.

“The North Country’s pristine environment is a defining feature of many of our communities across the district, and I applaud these museums for working to showcase our natural treasures,” Stefanik said in a statement.

IMLS received 558 applications this year requesting about $104.5 million, and selected 132 projects to receive $19.2 million in funding.

“As centers of learning and catalysts of community change, libraries and museums connect people with programs, services, collections, information, and new ideas in the arts, sciences and humanities,” said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. “They serve as vital spaces where people can connect with each other.” ■

Father Craig Hacker has joined St. John’s Episcopal Church parish as full time priest.

Photo by Kim Dedam » St. John’s Cont. from pg. 1 last three years, also programmatically we have made some forward motion,” Harsh said.

“We have quite a large focus on outreach and one of the ongoing programs is a mission with the Dominican Republic, called Libros para los Ninos, Books for Children.

“The program has concentrated on the Dominican Republic and we are going to extend it into Haiti this year. A team from our church brings school materials to the children. We’ve

also been involved in the North Country Refugee program.

“We have a choir camp for a group of boys who are in a church in Boston. We host a four-day choir camp each year,” Harsh said.

And locally, St. John’s helps families get through difficult times.

“Our church is the lead church in a project called Renew, a thrift shop in Essex. We raise funds to bring services to people in the three towns involved in our parish: Westport, Willsboro and Essex,” Harsh said.

Renew supports community members who have had to rebuild from a fire and provides resources to help cover travel costs for residents with health concerns.

“It might be an electric bill, an insurance payment that is just one thing too much for a family to handle,” said Harsh.

“We’re also very involved in the food shelf in Elizabethtown and support that with finances and by transporting food from Full and By Farm on a weekly basis.”

Through the summer, the parish raised money to replace the church organ.

“We’re a very musical church. We started a campaign four months ago to buy a new organ, which was in place for his first Sunday,” Harsh said.

The new priest, she said, is a welcome addition to St. John’s.

“He’s a very community minded person and a very deep thinker.”

Rev. Hacker comes to ministry as a 20-year veteran from the U.S. Army with the 82nd Airborne Division. His subsequent work as a contractor helped pay for seminary study.

“He jumped out of airplanes, he did it all,” Mrs. Hacker said.

“He then ran his own government contracting business to afford attending seminary.”

The Hackers have two married children, a son, Matthew and his wife Linda, and their daughter Allison and her

husband, Phil, and several grandchildren.

Rev. Hacker said the focus on service at St. John’s reflects the church community’s deep faith.

“The spirit of holiness will set the ministry in the hearts of the people,” he said thoughtfully.

“My role is to touch gently, if at all. There is a very wonderful spirit in the people here.”

Rev. Hacker, or Father Craig, sees community as “common unity.”

And one project he worked on with the parish at St. Peter’s in Bridgton, Maine sought to improve the food distribution system between area farms and rural families, helping to address agricultural economy, hunger and poverty.

His efforts there included a study of food security to better connect Maine farms and rural communities.

And it’s an outreach mission he said he hopes to continue in the Adirondacks.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know everybody,” he said, “and to find what God looks like to everyone. I’m not so interested in doctrine as I am in understanding ‘how is God working with you today.’”

The months ahead, Rev. Hacker said, will involve listening, talking, building relationships and building trust.

“It’s a remarkable congregation with a sensitive and generous disposition.”

Rt. Rev. William H. Love, ninth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany will officiate at Rev. Hacker’s formal Oct. 7 installation.

“The 10 different people who have led worship in the past three years are all to be honored that day,” Harsh said.

“It’s a really healthy church and a very active church; we’re looking forward to a wonderful future ahead of us.” ■

Insect menace headed north Eastern hemlocks are endangered by an Asian pest

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

HAGUE | Eastern hemlocks are becoming infected with an insect called the hemlock woolly adelgid and Hague Town Councilman Steve Ramant is spreading the word.

“There’s an hemlock woolly adelgid problem heading our way,” he said. “This is a big problem. We’re devastated by this insect.”

The Town of Hague is sponsoring a public information meeting on the pest at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 29 at the Hague Community Center.

Ramant said there will be a video presentation, followed by a question-and-answer period.

“I hope people attend the meeting and spread the word to their neighbors,” he said.

He’s lined up several experts to speak.

Dr. Mark C. Whitmore is a forest entomologist with the Cornell University Department of Natural Resources.

“The hemlock woolly adelgid has been a huge problem in the south but there is promise emerging for long-term control with predators for biological control, however this will take years to fully develop,” Whitmore said.

“The important thing is to find emerging infestations early and implement short term management to slow the spread and buy valuable time to build our biocontrol capacity.”

Jamie Brown is executive director of the Lake George Land Conservancy.

“The hemlock woolly adelgid outbreak at Prospect Mountain shows that this powerful invasive is now here in the Adirondacks and unfortunately right here in the Lake George watershed,” Brown said.

Others coming to the forum are Cathy Pedler, director of government relations and conservation at the Adirondack Mountain Club, and Warren Rosenthal, conservation manager at the Lake George Land Conservancy.

“The hemlock wooly Adelaide is a small, aphid-like insect that came to the states from Asia,” Ramant said.

This insect was found first in the southern states, and has been steadily heading north, he said.

“Once a hemlock is infected by the hemlock woolly adelgid, the tree dies within 4 to 10 years,” he said. “Early detection is something everybody can do and you’ll be shown how to recognize this blight in the meeting’s slide show. The ecological impacts of the hemlock woolly adelgid in our forests is devastating, and you’ll learn how your woods, streams, lakes and animals are affected.

“In addition, there will be an opportunity to help by volunteering your time to fight this menace.” ■

Charter penalized for slow broadband buildout Cable heavyweight will forego $13 million in reimbursements for failing to meet benchmarks

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

ALBANY | Charter Communications will forgo $13 million in state reimbursements after failing to build out their cable network as required as part of last year’s merger with Time Warner Cable.

The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) announced the settlement last week.

“In its approval of the merger, the Commission required Charter to undertake several types of investments and other activities,” said PSC Chair John B. Rhodes in a statement.

“While Charter is delivering on many of them, it failed to expand the reach of its network to unserved and underserved customers at the pace it committed. We are taking these additional steps to ensure full and complete compliance.”

As part of the merger agreement that created the nation’s largest telecommunications firm, Charter was required to bring high-speed internet to 145,000 unserved households throughout the state.

While Charter has reported that it has completed the first speed upgrade ahead of schedule, the provider had only extended its network to pass 15,164 of the 36,250 premises it was required to pass in the first year.

The Connecticut-based provider has agreed to forgo future reimbursements if it fails to hit six-month benchmarks through May 2020.

The actual amount forfeited, according to the PSC, will vary depending upon the percentage of the target missed and whether or not Charter can demonstrate it has timely performed specific tasks.

The $13 million settlement is the largest cable company financial settlement of its kind in state history and possibly

the largest in the nation’s, according to the PSC. The settlement comes as the state enters the homestretch for the New NY Broadband Program, the initiative to fully wire the state with high-speed broadband by the end of 2018.

The state Broadband Program Office has awarded $266 million to date — including $40 million to the North Country — as part of the effort.

Investments could top $1 billion when paired with funds from the private sector.

The third and final deadline for state grants was Aug. 31 and will be augmented by $170 million in federal funds allocated by the Federal Communications Commission.

Since Verizon has declined to participate in the program, Charter will overbuild on their service area to cover the remaining areas.

“We are currently engaged in an extensive and thoughtful review of areas across upstate NY that lack access to our stateof-the-art broadband, TV and voice services,” Andrew Russell, a Charter spokesman, told The Sun in April. “As part of this process, we are pleased to work with interested parties to review potential deployment opportunities and will continue to do so.”

However, as part of the settlement agreement, Charter was required to develop a website to inform homeowners and businesses whether their address is included in their broadband expansion plan.

From the Sidelines HOT MIDSEASON

When the NYSPHSAA put the extreme heat rules into place, I don’t think it ever had late

By Keith Lobdell September in mind.

• SPORTS EDITOR • Yet, that’s where we were at the beginning of this week, with practices and games canceled because of extremely high “real feel” temperatures that soared near triple digits. Some games went on, but had water breaks midway through each half in order to ensure student-athletes were properly hydrated throughout the contests.

SEEDING GAME

While Saranac Lake (1-3) prepares to host Beekmantown (1-3) Saturday, they will be waiting to head word from Saranac, where the Chiefs (2-2) will host AuSable Valley (1-3) to determine the top seed in the Class C playoffs.

Having lost to both teams, the Red Storm will be the third seed, traveling to the loser of the Chiefs/Patriots game, while the winner will receive a first round crossover game.

All three schools come off losses, as the Red Storm fell behind 21-0 in the first in a 35-13 loss against Ticonderoga (4-0) where Ryan Meyer had 115 yards receiving and a touchdown with DJ Morgan throwing for 187 yards. The Red Storm were hushed on the ground, only managing 24 yards, 21 by Jarrett Ashton.

For the Patriots, it was a 34-8 defeat at the hands of Peru (1-3). Chance Lapier started rounding into form as a running back, rushing the ball six times for 123 yards and a touchdown. The rest of the team accounted for 50 yards of total offense.

RUNNING SWEEP

The Saranac Lake boys and girls cross country teams continue to enjoy strong seasons, as the boys team is ranked top 10 in the state. At the Salmon River Invitational, Lauchlan CheneySeymour led the Red Storm to a win where the first eight runners all wore the SL logo. Tyler Martin followed in second, with Micha McCulley, James Catania, Anderson Gray, Peter Fogarty, Adam Hesseltine and Jacob Alberga.

Maddie Grimmone and Evelyn Eller placed third and fourth for the girls team, who also won the invitational.

In Lake Placid scored a pair of wins in both races against Beekmantown and AuSable Valley, while the EKMW team scored wins against the Beekmantown and AuSable boys teams while the girls were swept by the same teams. Scotty Schulz, Jess Izzo and Kai Frantz swept the podium for the Bombers, while Logan VanBuren finished fourth, Kaiden Sears sixth, Denali Garnica eighth and Isaac Defelice 10th for EKMW. Zach Lawrence, Matt Russom and Spencer Daby finished 11th, 12th

and 13th for the Patriots.

In the girls race, the Lady Patriot’s Lily Pothast scored the individual win, while Marli Damp, Annie Rose-McCandish and Sara Rose-McCandish took the next three spots in the running order.

EKMW’s LeAnna Costin followed in fifth, with AVCS runners Sylvia Tardiff, Haley Christensen and Olivia Hetfield following.

SOCCER STANDINGS

In a big week for the Keene boy’s soccer team, the Beavers scored a 6-0 win over Crown Point and a 10-2 win over Schroon Lake as they finished the first half of the Division III season undefeated, The Beavers then suffered their first loss of the season, 4-0, on George Brendler Field in Chazy, in what could be a preview of the Class D championship game. Willsboro could also be in the mix, having tied Keene in the second game of the season and defeating every other non-division Class D team they have played.

For the Keene girls, Alyssa Summo scored a pair of goals against Crown Point as the two teams played 100 minutes in a 2-2 tie, pulling even with the top team in Division III, However, a 3-1 loss to Schroon Lake dropped the team back two points behind the Panthers as the second half of the divisional season continues.

The EL/W Lady Griffins start the second half on a two-game winning streak, having defeated Moriah 2-0 and Ticonderoga 5-0 to end last week.

Meanwhile, the Griffin boys are still looking for their first divisional win, fighting back in the second half against Willsboro last Friday but unable to find the equalizer in a 3-2 defeat.

In Willsboro, the Lady Warriors finished the first half of the season with a tough, 1-0 loss to Johnsburg, sitting at 3-4-0 in the middle of the standings. Both AuSable teams will look to improve in the second half of the season as they continue to run through a tough Division I schedule prior to the Class C playoffs, where the field will be narrowed to Division-I’s Saranac Lake along with Division II teams NAC, Seton Catholic and Ticonderoga.

Annette Stephens looks to track down the ball for Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport against Ticonderoga’s Meg McDonald Sept. 22. The Lady Griffins scored a 2-0 win over Moriah and a 5-0 win over the Lady Sentinels to end the first half of the season.

IN THE POOL, ON THE COURT

Alison McCormick scored the lone win for the Lady Patriots in the pool as the team dropped a league contest to Peru, 125-45, winning the 100 fly.

On the volleyball court, AuSable Valley was almost able to score a win over Beekmantown, falling 25-16 in the fifth game.

Erykah Siegrist had 11 digs and 12 kills for the Patriots, while Taylor Mattila had 14 assists to go with 11 digs and four aces.

Saranac Lake got hit by the upset bug, as Northeastern Clinton scored a 3-2 win over the Red Storm. Katie Gay was big for the Red Storm with 16 digs, 10 assists and seven aces. ■

SARANAC LAKE | To celebrate a strong athletic tradition, North Country Community College enshrined six individuals and four championship teams in its first-ever Hall of Fame induction ceremony Sept 22.

“It was about three years ago, when the college started planning for its 50th anniversary, that we realized this would be the perfect time,” said NCCC Athletic Director Chad LaDue about the creation of a Hall of Fame, celebrating those who “have helped bring recognition, honor, distinction and excellence to North Country Community College and its

intercollegiate athletic programs,” according to the hall’s mission statement.

“The college’s athletic program has a long history of accomplishment at the local, regional, state and national levels,” said college President Dr. Steve Tyrell.

“It’s amazing to reflect on the caliber of athletic talent that has come through and continues to be fostered by this small community college in the Adirondacks.”

THE INDUCTEES

Two coaches, Tim Gerrish and Grover Moore, were inducted.

Gerrish was a hockey coach for North Country who built the program up to national prominence, claiming the 1995 NJCAA national championship.

Moore was a head basketball coach for the Saints, leading the team to the best regular season record in the nation between 1973 and 1975, compiling 46 wins against one loss. He also helped the Saints win the 1974 national championship.

Saranac Lake’s Sean Lincoln engages with AuSable Valley’s Ross Douglas during their matchup earlier this season. The two teams may meet again in the Class C semifinals, depending on the outcome of Saturdays Saranac-AVCS matchup.

Jamie Luckie, a soccer and basketball standout for the Saints, will also be inducted. Since playing for NCCC, Luckie pursued a basketball officiating career and officiated in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 NCAA Division I Final Four.

Phil Vilamore, a Potsdam native, will also be inducted. Vilamore was the first AllAmerican hockey player in school history.

Along with Luckie and Vilamore, 2002 Olympic Gold Medalist Jim Shea, Jr., will be enshrined as a distinguished alumni. Shea won gold in the skeleton event in Salt Lake City.

Larry McFaddin, also a Hall of Fame inductee, has coached men’s and women’s soccer at North Country and is an instructor in the college’s Sports and Events Management program.

The four national championship teams enshrined into the Hall of Fame included the 1995 ice hockey team; the 1988-89 men’s alpine ski team; the 1981-82 women’s alpine ski team; and the 1973-74 men’s basketball team. ■

Community Theater coming to Keeseville For theatre founder, creating new troupe “just clicked”

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

KEESEVILLE | Community theater is coming to town.

The Artistry Community Theatre (ACT) has officially announced they will have been established as a non-profit organization in the towns of Ausable and Chesterfield and plan to offer their first season of productions next spring.

“This idea has been floating around for about 10-12 years,” said Derrick Hopkins, founder and president of ACT. “Different people have said stuff like I should have my own theatre company. The older I get, the more I understand about the process and something just clicked in January. That is when I started the

process and it took until right now.”

Hopkins said he hopes to be able to reach for goals for the newly formed troupe, including creating theatrical events, advocating and elevating actors as artists, championing artists and working collaboratively with other non-profits.

“I want to change the thought process to the thinking of actors as artists and they can make their own art,” Hopkins said. “As we get going, I hope to have space for other artists and have it be a place where they can feel welcome and supported and show off what they are doing.”

In bringing artists together, Hopkins hopes to help out where ever there is a need in the community.

“We would like to do a fundraiser a year where it could benefit the local shelters,” Hopkins said. “Maybe the Honor Flight is short on funds and we can do a benefit concert for the group. Those are the type of things where artists can bring communities together.”

BOARD HARD AT WORK

Along with Hopkins, the ACT has a board of directors who will also be heavily involved in the work. They include Elizabeth Abair, Andrew Russell, Susan Richards, Jennifer Moore, Michael Rafferty and Saundra Stortz.

For Moore, the new organization is a chance for her to continue a long-standing collaboration with Hopkins that rose from their work together on the stage at Willsboro Central School.

“I’ve collaborated with Derrick for years now and trust that when working with him, we are taken care of in ways that allow us to function as artists,” Moore said. “Working with a board of directors who are also highly skilled and experienced in the theater ensures that we’re all speaking the same language and can work with efficiency and real joy.”

“Being on the ground floor of building ACT has been a rewarding experience,” said Stortz, who will be directing the opening show for the group. “(We) will generate projects exploring works that push boundaries and provoke dis-

cussion. ACT will create an artistic neighborhood that provides opportunity for members fellowship and challenges audiences to examine themselves and the world around them.”

DEBUT SEASON

The first season plans to feature several performances and events, including “Reasons to be Pretty” in April; the Broadway classic “Hello, Dolly” in July; “Songs for a New World” in August; and a play-reading series in September.

“I am giddy with anticipation over the dynamic season we have planned with a modern play, a Broadway classic, and a theatrical song cycle,” Hopkins said. “There is something for everyone.”

Those interested in learning more or joining the ACT are invited to join them at their next board meeting, which will be held at the Ausable Town Hall Monday, Oct. 23, 6 p.m.

Donations can be made to Artistry Community Theatre (ACT) and mailed to 240 Route 9N, Keeseville, NY; or via artistrytheatre.org.

Essex County Court tribute marks Duso’s Way

By Kim Dedam STA FF REPORTER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The pathway behind Essex County Court cuts beyond the sidewalk through close-clipped grass to the busy court parking lot.

It is worn by dedicated footsteps making a way to and from work by Stephen F. Duso, Sr. who spent the better part of two decades working here.

Last week, the small trail between sidewalks was officially named Senior Court Officer Stephen F. Duso Way to honor a man well-loved and well-respected by courthouse colleagues.

The Duso family, friends, and the surrounding communities lost Duso suddenly on Aug. 30.

Not just a name for a byway, Essex County Judge Richard B. Meyer said the short trail very much exemplified Steve Duso’s “way” of life.

“Steve was a long-term court officer here; he had been in this building since it opened. And Steve was not one to follow, he was a leader, he went his own way, he made his own path.

“Behind the courthouse, we have sidewalks that run in straight lines,” the judge explained.

“And every day, Steve walked from the parking area, across the grass to get to the courthouse and wore made his own path through the lawn. I thought it was symbolic of his life. There are a lot of things about Steve that I thought we should instill in own lives.

“He went his own way,” Meyer relayed. “I thought it would be appropriate to honor him in this way. He was such a force in the community, with his family, and with his coworkers.”

The simple naming ceremony came with placement of a small road sign near the corner of the brick court building out back.

Duso’s wife Wanda and son Stephen F. Duso Jr. came to mark the moment.

It was a deeply touching and fitting gesture, Wanda said.

“It was overwhelming, it’s hard to put into words,” she said.

“But Steve was never one to exactly follow the rules. And it’s a very well-worn path. He would go across the path to where he parked his truck every day,” she said.

“It was quite an honor for Judge Meyer to do that for someone he worked with for so many years. It shows the amount of respect and honor that all of his coworkers and the judge have for Steve. But it exemplifies Steve to a T. He just did things his way,” she said.

“He loved the job. He loved working with the people. He just adored going to work. I’ve had people come up and tell me that is just the most wonderful thing.”

Steve Duso Jr. has heard the same.

“It’s a great tribute to my dad. It will remain there forever,” Steve Jr. said.

“He always made his own way and people would follow.

“I personally feel very honored that Judge Meyers dedicated this to him. It will be a constant reminder of his dedication and service. It will be a reminder to take the path less traveled and be your own leader,” Steve Jr. said.

“My dad will be missed by many, but the subtle reminder (beside the courthouse) should make everyone smile, knowing that they knew him and the memories we all share.” ■

County seeks accounting upgrade Work will start soon on the new Essex County budget

By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County is looking to replace and modernize the financial software that keeps the county running.

The program they’ve been using, SunGard Public Sector Pentamation, from a Bethlehem, Pa. firm, is no longer sufficient, County Manager Daniel Palmer told the County Board of Supervisors Finance Committee on Monday.

“The software that runs our system is from 1993,” Palmer said. “We’ve had some problems.”

The committee voted to allow Palmer to get prices on other packages.

“Their code is outdated to the point where we’re having trouble putting barcodes on checks,” he said. “There’s software we would like to look at.”

He said he’ll check with county departments on their needs in financial and accounting software.

“I do think it’s time,” Palmer said. “We need something better.”

Other municipalities might be able to piggyback on the contract, Palmer said.

The new software also has to be able to integrate with the county’s time clock system and import the Pentamation files.

Essex County Treasurer Michael Diskin said Palmer is on the right track.

“This company hasn’t kept up with technology,” Diskin said. “It’s (the program) been around a long time.”

The committee voted to issue a request for quotations.

The Finance Committee gave preliminary approval on a local law to override the state tax cap for the county, which is 2 percent next year.

Whether they meet the cap with the 2018 county budget will be based on various factors, Palmer said.

“It will depend on whether you chose to do something with EMS,” Palmer told supervisors. “Short of that...”

The county is considering a countywide EMS system that would hire EMTs to assist towns with ambulance service.

The September Ways and Means meeting will feature a public hearing on the cap override just before the 10 a.m. session.

Budget workshops will start the first week in October,

said Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah), the Finance Committee chair.

Motions approved at Monday’s committee meetings will get another vote at Ways and Means, and a final vote at the regular October session if they pass Ways and Means.

Supervisors also looked at some building needs.

A lightning strike on a solid-waste trailer at the County Transfer Station in Lewis did more than $23,000 in damage.

The County Public Works Committee voted to award contracts to Lucky’s Trailer Sales of Colchester, Vt. for repairs to the hydraulic floor system in the trailer and other fire damage.

The costs will be paid from insurance reimbursement and budgeted funds.

Supervisor Roby Politi (R-North Elba) said he was in the Public Defender offices in the county complex and found them to be inadequate.

“We’re looking at moving Planning and Community Development (department) down to DPW (Department of Public Works in Lewis), because there’s a relationship there,” Palmer said. “That would free up some space here.”

The Public Defender offices could then be moved, Palmer said.

County Printer Lori Hall is retiring Dec. 29, and the board voted to commend Hall for her service. ■

New York Rangers coming to Lake Placid NHL team to practice at home of ‘Miracle’

By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

LAKE PLACID | Even professional hockey players can take a field trip.

The New York Rangers will be doing just that, leaving the big city following their final preseason game and heading

to the heart of the Adirondacks for three days of practice and team-building starting Oct. 1.

Their destination? Lake Placid, home of the biggest moment in hockey history, the 1980 Miracle on Ice. According to Newsday, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault, who has been the Rangers head coach since 2013, said the trip is a familiar one to him, having made the same hockey pilgrimage in 2011 when he was then coaching the Vancouver Canucks, who made the Stanley Cup Finals that season.

As part of the getaway, the Rangers will be holding an open practice Monday, Oct. 2, from 10 a.m. until noon in the USA Rink, located just off the Herb Brooks Arena.

Along with practice, the team members will be part of team-building experiences and will hear from Ed Viesturs, a climber who has summited Mount Everest — the world’s tallest peak — seven times.

After staying for three days, the Rangers will return to New York City, where they will open the 2017-18 season against the Colorado Avalanche.

The Rangers went 48-28-6 last season, entering the playoffs as the first wild card and upsetting the top seed Montreal Canadians. 4-2, before falling to the Ottawa Senators, also 4-2. Ottawa lost to eventual champion Pittsburgh Penguins in the next round.

Previously, the Philadelphia Flyers had preseason practice at the Olympic Center in 2013.

During the 2011 playoffs, the Boston Bruins used Lake Placid as a getaway destination during games three and four of their series against the Canadians.

The Bruins, led by goalie Tim Thomas, would go on to win the Stanley Cup, even bringing it back to Lake Placid for fans to see. ■
