Volunteering second plank in United Way platform

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The North Country runs on people-powered volunteerism.

Spring cleaning, hanging drywall, donating clothes, graphic design work, clean-up campaigns, computer instruction, assisting the visually impaired.

These were some of the of anecdotes shared by United Way stakeholders at a meeting on Friday, Oct. 17 to discuss how they can better serve communities in Franklin, Clinton and Essex counties.

Last year, United WayÕ s Adirondack chapter served 81,000 people through 41 partner agencies across the tri-county area.

ThatÕ s about half of the population.

United Way Director of Development Kathy Snow called the agency a key player in the world of North Country volunteerism. Ò Give, advocate, volunteer,Ó she said.

A recent grant has helped them match

volunteers with opportunities throughout the region Ñ kind of like a matchmaking website, said Snow.

But itÕ s now more than that. Ò ItÕ s like a one-stop shop,Ó she said.

Another database allows staffers to quickly tap into lists to contact volunteers when an opportunity arises.

Snow said United Way, which launched their annual fundraising and publicity drive last month, is applying for another grant to further strengthen their network.

Even if that fails, she said, they will continue to promote volunteerism.

She cited the Day of Caring, last springÕ s effort that brought out 600 volunteers who took part in efforts across the area, from beautification projects to collecting canned goods. Ò ItÕ s part of who we are,Ó said Snow. Ò We get calls all of the time. People want to volunteer. We can guide them.Ó Dennis Egglefield, of Egglefield Brother’s

Ford in Elizabethtown, said the community excels at binding together during natural disasters.

But more young people need to get involved, he said, and advance training needs to be given so that volunteers arenÕ t turned back during unpredictable events. Ò When you talk volunteering anything, people are running and hiding,Ó he said.

He said this detachment from civic disengagement also ties into what he perceives as a generational change in how people view work in general. Ò WeÕ re missing two decades of people who want to work and learn a trade and it continues right on to volunteerism,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s all interrelated in one form or another.Ó Danielle Bikowitz of the Champlain National Bank said it might help if volunteer opportunities were spread to more opportune times to accommodate the schedule of working families.

KEENE Ñ Three years after an angry Gulf Brook unleashed a torrent that carved away riverbanks, flooded homes with muck, uprooted the townÕ s firehouse, took out the BuckÕ s Lane Bridge and tore out parts of Route 73, renewal is almost complete.

Earlier this month, the last FEMA buyouts were completed. Last week, the townÕ s firehouse came down. Now, theyÕ re poised to start work on projects that will provide a stronger degree of protection for the townÕ s 1,100 permanent residents.

Last Friday, Supervisor Bill Ferebee stood on the firehouseÕ s footprint. The debris had already been carted away, leaving a neatly-raked square dotted with only the errant piece of insulation and styrofoam.

The next phase will start next week, he said.

That includes restoration of nearly 700 feet of riverbank, including the construction of an enhanced channel section with fortified armor, and other measures to ensure bank stabilization.

Widening the brook in the departmentÕ s footprint will allow the water to spread out and diffuse force, Ferebee explained, while the five boulder vanes are designed to take the energy away from the brook.

ADK Futures recalls successes as they look towards future

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com KEENE Ñ Jim Herman and Dave Mason are the minds behind ADK Futures, an organization developed to address the future of the Adirondack Park.

The two retired management consultants wanted to take what they had done for so many years in the world of multinational businesses and use it for the greater good of the Adirondacks.

The two specialized in Ò scenario planning.Ó After their retirement in 2004, they moved to Keene. Ò A few years we were happy but then we got bored,Ó said Herman. Ò The Great Experiment in Conservation,Ó a compilation of 35 essays about the Adirondacks, prompted the thinking behind ADK Futures. The consultants needed a project to keep their minds busy and realized that their methodology could help the Adirondack Park. Ò Some essays say the park is a failure, and it struck us as a set of material to use scenario planning,Ó said Mason. The two would take the same ways they helped businesses reach the top and use it to help the Adirondacks, turning its failures into success stories.

FILLING THE GAP Though there are several organizations dedicated to protecting and preserving the park, there arenÕ t any that are solely focused on Ò strategic planningÓ for the parkÕ s future. Herman and Mason saw a gap there that needed to be filled.

In July 2011, ADK Futures was presented to the Common Ground Alliance, asking if people

would be interested in the idea. Ninety out of 130 people signed up to participate in a volunteer workshop. Herman and Mason think that though they didnÕ t have a previous background in Adirondack-based issues, they didnÕ t have any baggage either, and perhaps that is why so many people wanted to jump on board.

“We were just going to do it, pro-bono,” said Herman. Ò It was a fresh approach by neutral people, a volunteer act.Ó Over the course of the next year, ADK Futures held 13 different workshops with over 500 people, one even reaching New York City, as the two tried to bring their vision to as a diverse group of people as possible. Workshops were held in Old Forge, Warrensburg, Chestertown, Schroon Lake, Lake Placid, Loon Lake, just to name a few, and one even catered solely to ju-

nior high and highschool students.

The workshops dealt with a wide array of subject matter concerning the park.

Some topics that were covered were the use of renewable energy, rejuvenation of agriculture, tourism, forestry, and new industries like telecommuting and broadband service. Ò I think that sustainable life is what everyone embraced most,Ó said Herman. Ò They all reached the same conclusion, they all wanted one desirable future for the park.Ó ADK Futures polled 220 people on the vision of the organization, which 94 percent of people strongly agreed with. Ò In Adirondack terms, that is clearly a success,Ó said Herman.

In ADK FutureÕ s short life, it has had great successes in bringing together influential members and organizations in the Adirondack Park.

Herman and Mason said it has brought up important conversations about implementing and sustaining a plan for the park, and even the governor’s office is, “enamored with it as a base of thinking up strategy.Ó They used other organizations like the CGA as a starting point, taking what they were already doing to a more specific level. Their hope was to string together entities all doing the

same work and moving towards the same goal. Ò I think the park lacked a strategic effort,Ó said Herman. Ò There was nobody in charge.

No one responsible for promotion or enhancement.Ó “What we did was fill the gap that pulls together a lot of strings,Ó Mason added. Ò It is called alignment. It is so people donÕ t feel so alone.Ó LOOKING FORWARD They are now looking to pass their progressive perspectives into the right hands. In the summer, the two brains behind ADK Futures went back into retirement, still monitoring and updating adkfutures.net (their news tracking site) and adkfutures.org, but no longer conducting workshops. Ò It has taken on a life of its own,Ó said Mason. Ò A vision effort is different than implementation. We are strategists, it is better for other people to pick it up now.Ó Ò It would be nice to have somebody take over and monitor it,Ó Herman added.

Though Herman and Mason are penning the end to their story, there might be one more chapter in the works. The two are currently putting together an invite-only two-day workshop planned for December which will address climate change.

Herman and Mason will invite various minds from different disciplines to discuss the issue and plan for the future, creating an opportunity for a well-rounded, thorough discussion. Ò No one we have asked has a clear idea about it,Ó Herman said. Ò It is important work that needs to be discussed.Ó Ò The Adirondack Park is so big, so few people arethinking about the whole thing. The communities are as important as the Forest Preserve. ItÕ s an intrinsic aspect. It is important to sustain these natural wild lands,Ó said Mason.

id everyone notice the snow on the mountains last Sunday? I guess that means our gorgeous, colorful, warm fall is over and winter is on the horizon. The holidays will be just around the corner.

The Essex Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, formally known as the Horace Nye Nursing Home, will hold their annual Craft Fair and Luncheon on Friday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The Elizabethtown Social Center will now offer family rec hours every Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m. between now throughout the month of November.

Come out, try your hand at paddle tennis, foosball, ping pong, pickleball, basketball, and a host of other fun things.

Before the weather starts getting seasonally messy, now is the time to walk around our neighborhoods and clear up all the trash that has accumulated over the summer and fall. Enjoy the fresh air and make our community a beautiful place at the same time.

Halloween is right around the corner, so please remember to drive safely while the kids are running around getting their treats. My thanks to all the people who have decked out their homes with the spooky thrills and chills of Halloween. ItÕ s fun to walk around the neighborhood seeing all the sights and sounds.

Now is still the perfect time to head out to Wickham Marsh or Pont Au Roche to check out the migrating waterfowl as they are resting between flights. Lately I have seen quite a few herons on the shore line. Before you know it, it will be time for the bald eagles to return.

Enjoy our gorgeous neck of the Adirondacks.

his Saturday evening, the film society presents “The Fault in our Stars” at the Whallonsburg Grange. This movie, a romantic comedy, was released earlier this year to good critical acclaim.

The film starts at 7:30 and refreshments are available for purchase.

Last call for the day-long yoga conference also this Saturday at the CFES Conference Center on Main Street. Call Michelle Maron at 963-4300 for information.

On Nov. 1, there will be a concert at the Whallonsburg Grange in conjunction with Day of the Dead celebrations.

Appearing on the stage will be PlowmanÕ s Lunch, Lee Adams and Jim Wade, and Willa Mamet and Paul Miller. PlowmanÕ s Lunch is a group of musical farmers from Reber Rock Farm; Lee and Jim are fixtures on the local scene, and Willa and Paul are well-regarded recording artists.

The show starts at 7:30 and admission is only $7.

The Day of the Dead is a national holiday in Mexico, with celebrations, parades and visits to cemeteries to remember those departed. We have no analogous holiday to honor the dead in the United States, except for Memorial Day, which is to remember those who lost their lives in the armed services.

ItÕ s thought that the Day of the Dead originated with the Aztecs and like so many other indigenous festivals, it’s been conflated with European religious observances. In this case, All Saints Day and All Souls Day, which are at the beginning of November.

Halloween is the evening before All Saints Day, but it also coincides with ancient pagan harvest festivals. Many cultures in Africa, Asia and South America have similar festivals, all at this time of year. It may be that Day of the Dead will grow in popularity the way Mardi Gras festivities are becoming more common here in the northern U.S. Why wear masks on Halloween? In case a dead soul is abroad that evening and seeking vengeance, you want to disguise yourself to avoid trouble.

On Nov. 5, there will be a Shoebox Packing Party at Essex Community Church. Gift boxes will be assembled for distribution to needy children, followed by a pizza party. Call Peggy Hunn at 963-4445 for more information.

In a sign of the changing seasons, the ferry will start operating one boat at the Essex crossing on Nov. 3.

North Country SPCA

Kathy L. Wilcox • 873-5000 he weather is getting cooler, and there have been rumors of snow in the air - wouldnÕ t it be great to spend this winter getting out and about on your very own snowmobile?

The North Country SPCA is sponsoring a snowmobile raffle to win a 1996 Artic Cat 580!

This beauty will be raffled on Jan. 17, 2015.

Tickets are $5/each or three for $10, and can be purchased by contacting the shelter at (518) 8735000 or emailing jhartley@ncspca.org.

You do not need to be present to win.

As you may know, October is Adopt-aShelter-Dog-Month. Did you know that itÕ s also Pit Bull Awareness Month? Pit bulls are often thought to be aggressive, short-tempered animals who do not make good family pets.

However, a pit bull that is raised in a loving environment,with proper socialization, supervision, and humane training, can be an affectionate, loyal companion.

Much of the aggression seen in the media involving pit bull attacks occurs as a result of dogs being abused, neglected, or trained to be “fighting animals.”

The North Country SPCA frequently has pit bull mixes available for adoption who are family-friendly, gentle, and would be a welcome addition to almost any home.

Our featured pet this week is Jinx, a pit bull mix who has a gorgeous tawny coat with white

Jinx markings. Jinx is the perfect ambassador for his breed - he loves people and does well with other dogs, he has excellent leash manners and is very neat in his kennel. He has a funny face with his red nose and a charming personality.

Jinx loves kids and is a real social butterfly in general. When you look into his soulful eyes, itÕ s hard to believe any of the negative press this breed has encountered. Why not stop by the NCSPCA today and meet this personable fellow? YouÕ ll be glad you did!

Janice Allen • 963-8912 • allens@willex.com

eady or not, a week from today, the trick or treaters will be knocking on our doors. I do not seem to have as many as in past years. It is strange, as some streets seem to have heavy traffic, while others are ready but do not see many children.

I hope any interested veteran that would like to attend the annual VeteranÕ s Day program and meal on Nov. 11 have called in your reservations. The committee really needs to know how many to plan on. Call Vicki Dickerson at 963-4459 or Barbara Paye at 572-5025.

I need to make a correction from last week about those great banners with veteranÕ s pictures on them. These are displayed on the downtown sign poles. If interested, you need to call Robin Belzile at 518-572-7973.

They are hopeful to have the main street lined next year by Memorial Day. Do not be put off by the price, as Robin told me there are some different payment plans available.

The Willsboro United Methodist Women are making available an information program on the subject of diabetes. On Monday, Nov. 3, Sandra Perry, a CVPH volunteer, will share her personal story of being a diabetic.

This program is free of charge and open to all. It will be held in the Community Room at 2 p.m.

Diabetes is felt in many families and it is always best to be informed, so come join us.

We extend our sympathy to the family of Lawrence (Larry) Lee as he passed away recently and his service was this past Monday. Larry was a very well liked Willsboro citizen. He gave much to us over the years and will be greatly missed.

For those that like to go out to eat from time to time, your choices are now down to only a few here in town. But remember that we need to keep supporting our local restaurants for them to be available throughout the whole year.

Reminder that the Reber United Methodist Church is once again is selling boxes of fruit. If you are interested and have not been contacted, give Billi West a call at 963-7235.

Happy Birthday to: Gert Grady (Oct. 24), Vincent Ferris (Oct. 25, Loretta Meinson (Oct. 25 and Joe Bruno (Oct. 26).

Westport

Colin Wells • WestportNYNews@gmail.com o you have a friend or neighbor who has done something special, or is doing something special, for the community? Who takes the time and the trouble to help out in a crisis, to pitch in when a job needs doing, to speak up when something is going unnoticed, or even simply to listen and be there for someone who doesnÕ t have anyone else?

If you do, the Westport Chamber of Commerce would like to hear from you. The Chamber is seeking nominees for their Ò Making a DifferenceÓ award, which will be given at their annual dinner meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at the Heritage House. They invite you to send an email with the name of your nominee and short statement of how that person is making a difference to chamber@westportny.com.

This might be a tougher question than it seems. Living in a small town is pretty much impossible without a lot of people who make a difference, which is what makes a community like ours different from the suburbs or the city. Like other communities in the North Country, ours is filled to the brim with people who make a difference. In a community where it seems like everybody serves in one way or another, I donÕ t envy the chamber their task!

Of course, sometimes you also need to remember that thereÕ s a big wide wonderful world out there.

Local residents Clay and Sue Reaser (two of the sort I was just writing about, in fact) will kick off the seasonÕ s Wednesdays in Wadhams Fall Lecture Series at the Wadhams Free Library with an illustrated talk, entitled “Scandinavian Vistas: The Fjords and More,” about their recent trip to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, at the Library on Wednesday, Nov. 5 starting at 7:30 p.m.

Along with a stunning photo library, they will share interesting facts and stories about their experiences. Like all the lectures in the series, this one is free and open to the public, and your questions will be welcome.

If you are one the many Westport residents who enjoys yoga, join your neighbor Michelle Maron, director of Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness, for the region’s first day-long yoga conference at the College for Every Student Conference Center on Main Street in Essex on Saturday, Oct. 25.

Make sure Whitehall melee does not happen

T

he regular season in local high school sports is now over, and the Section VII playoffs are set to begin in all of the fall sports, from the cross country Championships Oct. 31 to the football title games Oct. 31 to Nov. 1.

This is a time of year when old rivalries heat up. The game between Moriah and Ticonderoga for the Section VII/Class D title, much like the Class B matchup between Beekmantown and Peru, has plenty of fanatics charged up and ready to cheer their teams on to victory.

In soccer, games in Class D pitting anyone against sectional power Chazy always prove to be an emotionally charged affair.

The players are charged up to either get another chance to prove they can beat their opponent or a second chance at being the victors.

There is a lot of emotion that comes from these games, but, under no circumstances, can we see a repeat of what happened on a football field just south of here Oct. 18.

In a game between host Whitehall and visiting Rensselaer, New York State Police had to be called in after rough play led to a brawl, the brawl led to ejections, the ejections led to more rough play and eventually the premature ending to a game that had barely kicked off into the second half.

At the suggestion of Whitehall Athletic Director Keith Redmond, the game was called off because tempers were not calming down after an on-field brawl which had coaches pointing the fingers at the opposite sideline.

Rensselaer, who had a coach - someone who we believe should be a role model to their student-athletes - ejected, claimed that a Whitehall coach pinned one of their players down and fans were heard yelling racially-charged comments from the home stands.

While Redmond said no one was without blame for the events that unfolded, Rensselaer head coach Joel Preston placed the blame on the host team and the officials, being heard on video saying, “You haven’t seen a lot out there today.Ó In the end, Troopers were called to the scene and would not permit Whitehall fans or players to leave Ambrose Gilligan Field until Rensselaer players and fans had left the school facility.

This kind of incident is completely unacceptable in the high school sporting arena, and we applaud Redmond and head referee Mark Cleveland for their actions in putting an end to a serious situation which could have become worse as tempers continued to boil over.

With the praise those two men deserve, we believe head coaches Preston and Justin Culligan of Whitehall and their staffs failed to their jobs as leaders of high school athletic programs. They both, despite what Preston may believe (Culligan was quoted as saying, Ò neither side is innocent in this), needed to show restraint and help to defuse the situation.

On Monday, Culligan lost his job as the Whitehall head coach. We believe Rensselaer should take similar action and remove Preston from the sideline as well, along with the assistant coach who was ejected during the game.

October 25, 2014

Instead, you had Rensselaer coaches running over to the Whitehall side of the field, where the incident took place which started the brawl, and coaches yelling, pointing fingers of blame, pushing and in one case, if not two, getting physically involved in the melee. No coach should ever be ejected, ever, especially if it involves endangering the welfare of a high school student-athlete on any team.

So, how do we make sure we prevent this kind of incident from happening on the playing fields in Section VII: Athletic Directors and school administrators: Be as present as you can be at your games. If Redmond had not been at the game, who knows what may have happened if the decision had been left solely on the shoulders of the coaches. Coaches are busy dealing with the game and those involved and cannot be asked to be site security as well. If there is a situation where the A.D. is not able to be there or is coaching in the game, make sure there are chaperones who can monitor the fans as well as the field. This is one we feel Section VII schools do well as we see many school officials at the venues throughout the region.

Officials: End Ò chippyÓ play early on. If that means a yellow card in soccer, show it. A personal foul in football, throw the flag. Don’t be worried about increasing the penalties if the Ò chippiness,Ó continues, because that’s what the red card and ejections are for.

Coaches: Don’t just preach sportsmanship, but be an example of sportsmanship in practice and on the sidelines. A lot of what fanned the flames to the Whitehall situation can be traced to how the coaches reacted. These kids are going to take their cues from the role models on the sidelines. If you are calm, it will help calm them down. If you are looking to pick a fight, guess what your players are going to want to do?

Oh, and speaking of role models: Parents and fans: We know 90 percent of you are there for the right reasons, to cheer on children and be supportive. But to the other 10 percent who ruin these moments for everyone, your bad behavior has to stop.

You know how, as parents, you complain that you sound like a broken record when disciplining your kids for bad behavior? Well, dido from us.

As an example, one of our reporters witnessed some shameful behavior at a Section VII rivalry game (which will take place again in one week), where a visiting fan was walking up and down the sidelines verbally harassing a member of the opposing team. That is unacceptable, as this older person was being abusive to a 16-17 year-old boy. ThatÕ s right, boy. Not man. Not professional athlete. Not college athlete. Teenage boy. People who do this should be ashamed, along with ejected from any site they are at.

So please, letÕ s make the Section VII playoffs and subsequent state runs many of our local teams make a source of pride for our communities, not a sad lead-in for the 6 oÕ clock news or fodder for a newspaper editorial. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Who will you vote for?

Non-profits do their part

Breakdown tax relief received

To the Valley News: Another election is just around the corner. As our economies continue to shrink and our adult children still continue to be forced to look for work elsewhere, who will you vote for?

Will you vote for the continuation of the Ò tourism, environmental and planning” mantra to “create “ jobs or will you elect people who will actually repeal some of our overly restrictive laws and allow some year-round industry to come into the area, bringing with it families and children to support our local business and fill our schools?

Yes, CATS trails are nice but the underlying desire to tie up all development outside of our hamlets will not help us in the least.

Here in Westport, we are being warned by our new school Superintendent that we may be facing school closure within five years if things donÕ t change. Our kids will be shipped off to Willsboro, Elizabethtown, and Moriah. As she has experienced, it will mean death to our community.

So as you ponder who to vote for this Nov. to fill that seat on your town council or supervisor position, be aware you can continue the downward spiral or take a course reversal and start the journey back to economic sanity for you, your neighbors, and our children.

Tim Sherman, Westport

To the Valley News: “Nonprofits: Should they pay their fair share?” Before committing this act of sticking the editorÕ s foot in the mouth, the editorial board should have taken stock of the content provided to that very edition of the DenPubs News Enterprise. Twenty four articles, press releases, pictures, and paid advertisements were submitted and/ or paid for by the non-profits in this region. This is a hefty percentage of news ink sponsored by the organizations that the editorial board feels “impose a cost on municipalities.” Non-profit organizations are useful and enriching to these little towns tucked into the mountains, whether it is an educational, art, medical, or religious resource. While the article does try a little to differentiate between types of non-profits, it also does little to prevent grouping every organization into the same scourge on the system. We- the non-profit collective- are Volunteers, not Ô squattersÕ as is suggested in the article. We donate our time, our resources, our skills, gasoline, phone calls, letters, and ink cartridges. We offer free public programs, free receptions, and free exhibits to benefit our communities. What would the Adirondack community landscape look like without the benefits of non-profits? Empty.

Johnsburg Historical Society Board Johnsburg

To the Valley News: A breakdown of the tax relief each non-profit receives would be educational for citizens and local governments in the North Country. IÕ d like to see the breakdown by religious organization, health care centers and hospitals, recreation, arts councils, and environmental organizations - the categories you mention in the Oct. 18 Opinion column.

Having these numbers would help the public and municipalities evaluate the benefits to their communities.

Lorraine Duvall Keene

Thanks to hospital

To the Valley News: The response of the First United Methodist Church in Ticonderoga to the recent fire devastating St. Mary’s School was nothing short of heroic. The immediate and unwavering offer of the use of the facility to house our elementary school was an answer to a huge prayer. No sooner had the school burned down than did the Methodist Church nobly step up to help us.

We are so very thankful for this support from our neighbor and friend in Christ, and we do not know what would have been the alternative, if not for their reaching out. What we do know is that the school would in no way be up and running within one weekÕ s time.

The almost seamless transition for our students and staff has meant the world to all of us, especially after the emotional and physical crushing that everyone experienced from this loss.

The step up to the plate that was seen by Jenn Pike and Carrie Reale, who spearheaded the effort to get the school up and running again, was simply tremendous! Who would know the skill and take charge abilities of this duo, had it not been witnessed firsthand?

The enormous amount of volunteers organized, donations received, and construction designed and carried out, happened in a huge step by step process, thanks to Carrie and JennÕ s tireless work overseeing all of these tasks. Thank you for giving yourselves so completely to this emergency and carrying out all that had to be done in such a wonderful way.

So many people gave of themselves during this crisis that it is mind boggling. As impossible as it may be, I wish that I could thank each one individually who responded in our time of need. The helpful hands, the prayerful thoughts, the words of encouragement and sympathy, the food and drink given, and the funds donated, were all so sincerely and generously offered.

The businesses, schools, and organizations that have donated to our need have provided one more, thick layer of giving that has supported the rebuilding of our school. The depth and breadth of these contributions is amazing. The Ò communitywideÓ support reaches far beyond our geographic area.

We want the community to know how thankful we are, and how much we appreciate every detail of attention that has been given to our every need. We could never have gone on without these many gifts. How encouraging to know that our mission is one that is shared by so many kind and generous people, groups, and our community at large.

Sister Sharon Dalton Principal, St. MaryÕ s School Ticonderoga

To the Valley News: We would like to thank Dr. Mary Glickman and Vicki Savage; all the nurses, PTs, OTs, aides and hospital staff, and everyone else at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital, for the wonderful care and concern to our loved one, Nancy Morelli, and to us, her family, when she was hospitalized there in August.

Everyone was wonderful and we will never forget the way we were all treated in NancyÕ s final days. We are very fortunate to have this caring institution in our North Country.

Thank you, The family of Nancy Morelli

Editorial misleading To the Valley News: The Valley News Editorial Ò Nonprofits: Should they pay their fair share?” implies that not for profits don’t create jobs; paralyze economic development; serve hobbyists and insular groups (many of which represent seasonal residents;) donÕ t serve the poor; and create towns Ò preserved in amberÓ (aka playgrounds for the rich).

In claiming that Adirondack not-for-profits own 20 percent of our areaÕ s private lands, being 600,000 acres, the editorial may confuse the lands protected by conservation easements (a little over 600,000 acres) with the lands owned by not-for-profits -- schools, churches, museums, and the like -- which total far less.

Lands protected by conservation easements benefit from certain tax benefits; in return, they provide public benefits whilst still paying some taxes. At 14,200 acres, Paul Smiths College lands may be the largest not-for-profit holding, New York State College of Forestry owns 11,000 acres; Fort Ticonderoga, 2,000 acres; the Wild Center, about 85 acres; and the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake, just 38. The two colleges use their property for education and training in forestry and forest management. Fort Ticonderoga, the Wild Center, and the Adirondack Museum use theirs for educational purposes. All are the largest or one of the largest employers in their given community and each attracts over 100,000 visitors annually who support a multitude of restaurants, shops, and lodging facilities.

Land owned by the public schools adds up. But asking them to pay a land tax would result in our school taxes going up to cover their new tax burden. Taxing churches -- most of which operate food banks and a multitude of other services for the less fortunate -- would reduce their ability to help the poor. Taxing hospitals, assisted living, and other health institutions would just drive up health costs, reduce services, and perhaps lead some to close their doors.

Museum and other cultural institution funding are greatly supported through the generosity of seasonal residents; however, the vast majority of their attendees are visitors and locals Ð not those writing the funding checks. Their generosity keeps the price of attendance down and supports many free educational events for local children and youth.

The Adirondack Foundation commissioned the SUNY Oswego Office of Business and Community Relations to conduct a study of the economic impact of not-for-profits in the Adirondacks. Their 2013 report concluded that over 10 percent of the workforce in the Adirondacks works for not-forprofits (17 percent works for local government, 14 percent for the state, 3 percent for the federal government, 12 percent are self employed, and for profits employ 43 percent). The 36 not-for-profits selected for the study (a small percentage of the total) paid $84 million in salaries, $6.3 million in payroll taxes, served over 1,6 million people, over $214 million in total expenditures, and brought over $32 million in grants into the region. 36 percent of their employees are in the 20-40 years age group, meaning that they are one of the best assets we have for attracting young families to and keeping them in the region.

Bottom line: without not-for-profits the economy of the Adirondacks would be great peril as play a vital economic and educational role, creating jobs and attracting money and young people to the region.

To the Editor, If you think that Karl Roves million dollar investment in Elise Stefaniks campaign was meant to promote the interests and needs of New Yorks 21st Congressional District, think again.

With that kind of investment, its more likely that the interests of the Washington insiders will get top priority.

The very fact that Ms. Stefanik turned her back on, and walked away from, a reporter when asked for specifics about her plans for Medicare and Social Security speaks volumes as to the kind of representation (or lack of representation) our district will receive if she is elected.

Aaron Woolf, on the other hand, has not shied away from addressing the Medicare/Social Security issues (as well as the other myriad issues that concern our district). He will push to insure the stability of Medicare and Social Security by blocking any attempts to privatize them, and he certainly does not believe in raising the eligibility age.

New Yorks 21st Congressional District needs a strong voice in Washington, as well as an advocate who has the ability to reach across the aisle to actually get things done. After carefully looking at all three candidates and their plans, its obvious that Aaron Woolf is the only candidate who meets that criteria.

Aaron Woolf has what it takes to see that all of our voices are heard in Washington.

Paid endorsement To the Editor, 10 reasons to elect Aaron Woolf to represent YOUR district: 1. Woolf will aggressively work to improve the Affordable Care Act rather than repeal it (as Stafanik promises).

To keep us safe

2. Woolf will protect Social Security and fix it by ensuring that high earners and big companies pay their fair share.

To the Valley News: The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and Marine takes an oath of allegiance to protect and defend this ideal, which is unique to our Nation. Apparently, Governor Andrew Cuomo and some of our wrongheaded Legislators in New York State do not believe in the basic tenets of our Constitution. The flawed reasoning behind the recently enacted and unconstitutional edict known as the ÒS afe ActÓ is counter to the very ability of our citizens to protect themselves, their families and our Nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

The inability of our citizenry to defend themselves could well result in a weakness which would allow big government to become our Master, not our servant. The inability to self-protect is evident in nations world-wide. Socialism, Marxism and Communism do not work. A well armed, free and educated citizenry is a bulwark against aggression.

If you are indoubt whether all our enumerated rights, including the 1st and 2nd Amendment must be protected-Ask a soldier. Do not presume the protective bubble we live in will be maintained without keeping our basic freedoms intact. This security has been purchased with the blood, sweat and tears of our fighting men and women of our armed forces, do not squander it. We who have served and those who serve today and tomorrow will be watching how the gift of liberty is treated.

Any politician who would attempt to weaken, trample, modify or do away with our exceptional Constitution should be immediately removed from office. On Nov. 4 we will have an opportunity to do just that. Governor Cuomo and other anticonstitutionalists must go. Vote them out! We the People need to reclaim our say over government.

3. In Woolfs internationally acclaimed film King Corn, he shows how Congress currently subsidizes the Happy Meal rather than a healthy meal from a local family farm and served by a small business/school cafeteria.

4. Bill Owens toured with Woolf to all corners of this district.

Owens endorsed him because he sees in Aaron the bipartisan leadership that is needed in DC. 5. This is Woolf's first involvement in politics. Meanwhile, Stefanik coached VP candidate Paul Ryan for debates.

6. Woolf has been rooted in Essex County for over 40 years, Like many professionals in the North Country, his work brought him to NYC where he has met with success.

7. Woolf is a REAL small business person. His best film did 100K in sales, not $25 million per year like Stefaniks small family business. He helped save many old theaters around the district from going out of business by getting them equipped with digital projectors.

8. Woolf and his wife chose the site of his father's burned down house in Elizabethtown to rebuild and raise their daughter. They invest their wealth directly into the 21st district through land and school tax. Stefanik pays taxes in DC. 9. Woolf raised money from small donors within the district and paid for his campaign out of pocket. Significant Stefaniks funding comes from extreme political players Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers.

10. If you like Matt Funicello vote Woolf. He can actually further some of Matt's ideas.

Congressional candidates make stops around their potential territory

Funiciello aims to bring working class ethos to Congress

Stefanik camp rallies at the Full Moon

Walking between the rows with Aaron Woolf

By Pete DeMola

By Pete DeMola

HUDSON FALLS Ñ On a recent Sunday morning, golden maples framed the streets in this working class suburb in rust-colored October glow.

Children played in front of tidy brick houses. Beat-up jalopies rattled through intersections. Parents raked leaves, teenagers milled about in small clusters and occasional peal of church bells cut through the chatter of people streaming in and out of a nearby American Legion.

America encapsulated in a singular Kodak Ñ or Instagram Ñ moment.

A pickup truck slowed and turned as it approached a quiet factory, its smokestacks silent.

It stopped and cut the engine.

Matt Funiciello leapt out, jiggled his keys and entered his tidy one-bedroom apartment.

He poured a cup of coffee for a reporter and slid it across an inexpensive wooden table.

Funiciello, the Green PartyÕ s candidate to replace retiring Congressman Bill Owens, has become a wild card in one of the countryÕ s hottest Congressional races.

While Funiciello, 46, has spent the overwhelming majority of his campaign putting in a 40-hour workweek at Rock Hill Bakehouse, his bakery in downtown Glens Falls, the candidate is polling at 8 percent (an earlier poll had him at 10 percent) and generating an outsized discussion in the public sphere.

Following a pair of strong debate performance that saw Funiciello cruising above the turbulence of his opponents Ñ Democrat Aaron Woolf and Republican Elise Stefanik Ñ that number could very well be higher now.

Pundits and the public have declared him a refreshing voice in a political system that has grown sour in the wake of more of the same.

Now, in his kitchen, the candidate grinned and likened the state of the race to a suburban hockey game. Ò ThereÕ s a certain level of hostility amongst parents and coaches,Ó he said. Ò My opponents have twisted themselves up so much, itÕ s cartoonish.Ó Funiciello has painted himself as the only candidate in the race who is from the district.

LAKE GEORGE Ñ A Washington DC-style community barbecue took over the lot of the Full Moon Bar and Grill on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Elise Stefanik, the Republican candidate seeking to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens, said these are the settings from which she enjoys and learns the most. ÒI Õ ve outweighed my opponents in small donor dollars. I want to attend the small town meet and greets. It provides an opportunity for an intimate setting. I can listen to attendees and talk one on one. We have been doing these types of events for the past year or so,Ó s aid the candidate in an interview.

Stefanik supporters gathered from across the district to listen to the candidate.

“This is a beautiful time in a beautiful place that we all enjoy,” said Assemblyman Dan Stec. ÒE lise has the perspective we all share, she is clearly the most prepared and most qualified, she’s going to carry the ball for all of us.Ó Stec thanked those who helped organize and support the event, and was especially anxious to announce that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) was in attendance, the elected official who covered the most mileage to speak at the event. ÒT his is Republican country here in the North Country,Ó said Stec as he grinned, stating McCarthy must have had to fly over a lot of Òb lue countryÓ o n his way from California. ÒT he reason I got in this race hasnÕ t changed, the people have but not the reason,Ó s aid Stefanik.

The candidate thanked those in who traveled from as far as Jefferson, Essex, and Clinton counties as well as those from neighboring towns. ÒI t shows your support, we are here because of you,Ó s he said. ÒI see the same thing from all of you,Ó McCarthy told the crowd. ÒY ouÕ re ready for a breath of fresh air, and that is what Elise gives us.Ó McCarthy spoke about his wife, whom he had talked to on the phone before the rally and how she feels about Stefanik. ÒS he has never been here before, but she has seen Elise on TV,Ó said McCarthy. ÒS he said, Ô IÕ ve never met this woman but I want you to campaign for her. Her voice goes beyond New York, itÕ s strong.Õ Ó

TICONDEROGA Ñ Aaron Woolf walked between rows of corn, tossing out kernels of agricultural policy.

The documentary filmmaker paused, tore a husk from a branch, opened it and inspected the contents within.

Yellow Dent Number Two, he said. A variety with high starch content. Ò We really need an agricultural policy that allows high productivity with the advantages of diversity and localization,Ó said Woolf, a Democrat who is running to replace Congressman Bill Owens to represent the 21st Congressional District.

Walking through a corn maze on a chilly Sunday afternoon was a weird place to be. Kids darted underfoot and migrating birds cawed in the slate-gray sky looming overhead.

But when a Congressional candidate has an opening in their schedule, you take it, even if itÕ s shivering in the middle of a cornfield deep in the Champlain Valley.

Woolf, who was visiting Fort Ticonderoga, said the country should shift away its policy of centering commodity groups in specific regions — grain in the midwest, produce in California — and instead concentrate on strengthening regional food systems and building an infrastructure that promotes small-scale operations in the area.

The average bite of food travels 1,500 miles. Ò YouÕ re chasing it down with a glass of diesel,Ó he said.

Agricultural operations across the Champlain Valley, from diversified livestock operations to community-supported agriculture programs, lend themselves to the creation of regional food hubs, super-concentrated combos that bring together the production, aggregation, distribution and marketing fields to empower individual entities who are unable to do so on their own.

Food would then be shuttled to large-scale consumers, like local hospitals and schools, who would benefit from buying local.

Woolf said several provisions in the 2014 Farm Bill, the federal legislation that drives the nationÕ s agricultural policy, has fallen short of its potential to bolster existing programs and create robust new ones.

Woolf also pointed at projects involving direct-to-consumer sales marketing to locally-produced foods located in underserved communities.

Essex County gets yellow light for traffic diversion program

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Good news may be on the horizon for local leadfoots as Essex County officials floated the idea of implementing a traffic diversion program in Essex County.

Such programs are intended to give a second chance to offenders who commit a relatively minor vehicular offense, Community Resources Department Director Mike Mascarenas told lawmakers on Tuesday, Oct. 13. Ò ItÕ s not going to be for people going 70 in a 30,Ó he said.

Mascarenas said a possible program would be broadly similar to that in Allegany County, where offenders cough up $225 for a six-hour defensive driving course, either online or in-person, to wipe their slates clean.

When a driver successfully completes the program, the traffic ticket is dismissed and no conviction or points for that ticket will appear on the driverÕ s record.

More than 20,000 traffic tickets were issued in Essex County last year due, in part, to the Northway.

Officials say such a measure would help unclog local courts and cut administrative costs, transferring the financial burden to

the offender rather than the taxpayer. Ò ItÕ s monetary accountability while adding a layer of driver education,Ó said Mascarenas.

Board Chairman Randall Douglas noted that his son, who attends college in Allegany County, got clipped for a speeding ticket and is currently enrolled in their program.

Douglas said being forced to sit in a classroom for six hours on a Saturday morning will make him a better driver and cause him to rethink his actions. Ò ItÕ s a win-win,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s revenue for the county, revenue for the towns and it promotes public safety.Ó Serial offenders would be prohibited from participating in the program, which is reserved for those with four or less traffic points, a valid license and an 18 month stretch between DWI convictions.

In response to lawmaker questions, county Manager Daniel Palmer said online courses have become increasingly sophisticated and itÕ s virtually impossible to game the system.

While implementation of the program would not cost the county any additional funds Ñ good news for taxpayers and lawmakers wary of rising costs Ñ it may meet resistance from the local magistrates who adjudicate such violations and may

balk at the potential wave of dismissed tickets.

“We can define eligible offender from the program and that’s where we need insight,Ó District Attorney Kristy Sprague told lawmakers. Ò We need to understand that weÕ re not taking control away, but actually giving them more control by making them do more.Ó Sprague said prosecution was is an unfunded state mandate.

Not even postage is compensated.

Another benefit, she said, was the reduction in insurance costs for the parents of young motorists.

Sprague watched other counties move forward with similar programs Ñ including neighboring Franklin County Ñ and said that revenue can be kept local. Ò I think it needs further discussion. If it doesnÕ t work out, it doesnÕ t work out,Ó said Douglas.

If the board opts to move forward, the program would be initiated through their public safety organs and would not require a change in local law.

“Can you take it preemptively?” joked Vice Chair Bill Ferebee, looking at Douglas. Ò I never said I was a good driver,Ó said Douglas.

United Way

Continued from page 1

United Way stakeholders gathered in Elizabethtown on Friday, Oct. 17 to discuss how to boost volunteerism in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. The nonprofit has three planks in their platform: “Give, volunteer, advocate.”

Ò The hard part is coordinating times,Ó she said. Ò Sometimes itÕ s hard to be a part of that.Ó United Way Executive Director John Bernardi said the agency was working hard to get people signed up and trained. Ò ThatÕ s where weÕ re concentrating,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re working to get them to sign up now during the calm times so we have a database glean from that we can use.Ó Volunteers will then be steered to the proper programs.

Elizabethtown-Lewis Central Schools Superintendent Scott Osborne expressed pleasure with the high level of volunteerism amongst students in his district, especially amongst athletic teams.

Their projects vary greatly, he said. Some are community-based, like cleaning a food shelf, for example, or assisting elderly. Ò We integrate it into the extracurricular side of the world and get a lot done,Ó he said. Ò Kids

October 25, 2014 gladly do it.Ó John Bartlett, an official with the Ticonderoga Kiwanis International, cited a program that provides low-income children with backpacks stuffed with food to take home on Friday afternoons.

One-hundred and fifty kids in four area schools participate, including Ti Elementary and Middle, St. MaryÕ s, Putnam and Crown Point. Ò When you get into schools, thereÕ s an underbelly there,Ó said Bartlett. Ò ThereÕ s way too much poverty in the North Country and weÕ re trying to expand incrementally to help them break out of that cycle of generational poverty.Ó Bernardi said thatÕ s what the United Way is all about. Ò Volunteerism is a largely American tradition. Nowhere in the world is there a greater spirit. ItÕ s part of who we are.Ó To get involved in your community, visit unitedwayadk.org.

Following the removal of the old Keene Firehouse earlier this month, the town has shifted towards a pair of projects that will further safeguard the town against flooding caused by extreme weather.

Keene

Continued from page 1 Ò This will keep our constituents safe and protect the center of town in the event of another disaster,Ó he said.

Natural materials will be used to protect the aesthetics.

He pointed at an easier part of the process, white bricks guarding the three properties that were accessible only by foot for over a year following Irene, which touched down on Aug. 28, 2011.

ESPC Plattsburgh is slated to complete the project by mid-December. By springtime, as the brook bubbles back to life, plantings will tie it

all together.

Still waiting

Following Irene, Gov. Andrew Cuomo became a steady presence in the region.

Last week, Kathy Hochul, his running mate in this fallÕ s general election, toured the site and visited with local officials.

During Irene, Cuomo used the area as the staging ground for his appearances, chatting with local residents and even helping to clear away debris.

Ferebee said he discussed the next phase of the project with Hochul, the final transfer of funds from the NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program.

The phase is slated to encompass the area from BuckÕ s Lane Bridge, which is countyowned, to the mouth of the East Branch of the AuSable River.

Ferebee said there were three scenarios for moving forward depending on how much funding they lock down.

The first and preferred option is the replacement of BuckÕ s Lane Bridge with a wider, longer structure.

The second, the installation of overflow culverts that would take water around the bridge, and the third, an effort to deepen the floor of the Gulf Brook.

Ferebee said he would like to see engineering and surveying for that project start this winter with construction starting this spring.

“It’s a long project in the making,” he said. Ò IÕ m anxious to see it completed.Ó He lauded Cuomo for his continued focus on the region. Ò He walked through that door unexpectedly,Ó he said, recalling the nerve center that was set up in the town hall, located directly across the street, in the aftermath.

Since then, Ferebee estimated the stateÕ s chief executive has made between six and ten personal visits, the most recent in August, when he dedicated the Upper Jay Firehouse. Ò IÕ ll be glad once its all over,Ó said Randall Douglas, the Jay Supervisor who shouldered much of the recovery effort with Ferebee. Ò It certainly was a trying time the past three years.Ó

Lions screen Keeseville eyes KEESEVILLE Ñ On Oct. 17th the Peru Lions Club, in cooperation with the Keeseville Elementary School, held a free eye screening for children in kindergarten. Screening Eyes Early (SEE), is a statewide Lions program which allows free eye exams for children 2 - 5 years old who have not yet seen an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

The purpose of the screening is to identify possible signs of amblyopia which is the leading cause of monocular blindness (blindness in one eye). Some of the causes include: nearsightedness, farsightedness, difference in vision between the two eyes, drooping eyelids, blurring due to unequal curvature of the cornea and reasons why light does not enter an eye properly.

The device used is similar to a camera. However, it does not produce a facial image. Instead, the scanner captures the eye only, never getting any closer than 12 inches from the childÕ s face. The reading is printed and attached to a permission slip.

All the slips are sent to The Ira G. Ross Institute in Buffalo where they are read, evaluated and results sent back to the parent/guardian through the school. All confidentiality is followed. The Lions are not given the results.

On the above screening date the Lions successfully scanned 20 childrenÕ s eyes.

We are told that an average of one in ten children have an issue. The results should be back to the parents or guardians soon.

Similar screenings are performed in Peru, Chazy, Plattsburgh, Lake Placid, Long Lake and Schroon Lake. The Lions hope to expand to other neighboring districts next year. The Lions also screen children at daycare centers and nursery schools. For more information, contact the Peru Lions at P. O.box 165, Peru NY 12972 or call 643-2865.

ELCS moving forward with roof ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ At a recent school board meeting, the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School District Board of Education received positive news regarding the schoolÕ s roof renovation currently underway.

Architect David Whitford of AES Northeast, Inc., informed the School Board that roofing contractors have completed a majority of the work. Ò Our architect informed the Board that weÕ re progressing well toward the October 31st deadline,Ó said Superintendent Scott Osborne.

“The contractors have done a nice job being as unobtrusive as possible Ð given the fact that theyÕ re working to reconstruct a roof, which inherently comes with quite a bit of noise! In the end, weÕ ll have a top-of-the-line roof on our school for the next thirty years.Ó “Our major concerns during the project have not really been ‘major ’ – we’ve had less parking spaces, which was workable.

Also, the adhesive used to glue down the roof membrane came with an odor, but contractors tried to use that adhesive after the school day was over. All in all, if those were our major issues, we’ve done very well,” said Osborne.

At this point in the project, roofers with the company RSI Roofing, Inc. of Gouverneur have moved their materials to the schoolÕ s north parking lot as they work to put the finishing touches on the renovation of the 1989-portions of the schoolÕ s roof. The deadline for project completion remains October 31, weather permitting.

Piano By Nature: Get “Jazzical” ELIZABETHTOWN — Piano by Nature invites all to join them for an extraordinary union of classical composition and jazz innovation on Nov. 8-9 for a pair of perfomances by virtuoso pianist Joel A. Martin.

Martin, the creator and trademark owner of Jazzical, will perform a truly unique brand of concert with his rare and captivating musical fluency in both classical and jazz styles.

Martin was the youngest pianist ever, and the first African American pianist, to compete in the 1985 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and has performed as soloist with the NY Philharmonic, El Paso Symphony, Springfield Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Hartford Symphony, and countless other symphony orchestras.

His Jazzical concerts have been presented throughout the world in the concert halls of Paris, London, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Russia and Kyrgyzstan.

As a collaborative pianist, he has toured with operatic superstar Kathleen Battle, who said Ò playing with Joel A. Martin is like riding in a Bentley.Ó Martin has also worked for ten years as the director and arranger for the Cab Calloway Orchestra. Most recently, Martin is promoting two innovative concert recording projects.

Both appearances will be at the Hand House in Elizabethtown, on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 9 at 3 p.m.

Call 518-962-2949 for reservations or visit pianobynature. org for more for more information.

Lewis man arrested for child abuse LEWIS Ñ On Oct. 18, State Police arrested 30-year-old Robert L. Orr III, of Lewis, for physically abusing a 9-month old infant male. The call originated from the Department of Child Protective Services who is also investigating the alleged abuse.

Orr was charged with Assault 2nd Degree, a class D Felony, Assault 3rd Degree, a class A Misdemeanor, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child, a class A Misdemeanor.

He was arraigned in the Town of Lewis Court where he was remanded to the Essex County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail, or $5,000 secured bond. Orr reappeared at the Town of Lewis Court on Oct. 21 at 6 p.m.

The Westport Library has a program underwritten by a patron to entice all first graders at Westport Central to obtain library cards. After checking out their books, they return two weeks later to listen to children’s book author and illustrator Steve Kellogg discuss his life and work. “It’s a delightful heartwarming event in this crazy upsetting world of ours,” said libary board member Cynthia Schira. “I love being part of something so positive.

Sawyer’s three touchdowns lead Indians in win over Chiefs Blake Altizer adds four scoring throws in shutout

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ Brandon Sawyer ran for 219 yards and two touchdowns and Blake Altizer threw four scoring passes as the Indians routed the Chiefs 51-0 on a rainy Oct. 18 afternoon.

Sawyer gave Peru, which moved to 7-0 and finished the regular season atop the Section VII standings, its first 1,000 yard rusher since Brandon Keleher in 2002. Sawyer finished the sevengame regular season with 1,031 yards.

The Indians picked up the win despite some miscues, including three turnovers and two big runs called back on penalties.

On the first play of the game, Sawyer had an 85-yard touchdown run called off and another long dash to the end zone in the second half ended the same way. ÒT hose are things we want to clean up offensively,Ó said Coach Nick Damiani. ÒW e canÕ t have that.Ó However, when Peru played mistake-free, the team rolled. They opened the game by marching 85 yards down the field for an early lead, capped off by a 23-yard Sawyer score.

The Chiefs went three-and-out on their opening drive but had two chances to seize momentum. Josh Santor recovered a Sawyer fumble but the drive stalled and Saranac was forced to punt.

Then, Caiden Goodman intercepted an Altizer pass, but the Chiefs gave it back.

Peru would be the team to convert a turnover into points when Anthony Gallo picked off a Mason Utzler pass and took it 47 yards to the end-

zone for the 14-0 lead.

Throughout the game Saranac had trouble getting anything going against a swarming Peru defense. The Chiefs started two drives on the Peru 15-yard line, including one set up by a long kick return by Goodman, but both times turned the ball over on downs. ÒW e did good things on defense,Ó said Damiani. “We flew to the ball.”

After his early interception, Altizer recovered and threw his first touchdown on a well-executed screen that Sawyer took 43 yards to the house.

The next Peru drive, Altizer found Gallo for

a 37-yard score to give the Indians a 29-0 lead to the half. Gallo finished the game with 60 receiving yards and points on offense, defense and special teams. He ran in one two-point conversion and completed a pass to John Gallo for another.

In the second half, Jeff Smith hauled in an 18-yard touchdown pass from Altizer on PeruÕ s first drive and Sawyer picked up his third touchdown on of the day with a 63-yard scoring run to make it 44-0 with 4:44 left in the third.

“We saw that when everybody does their job what we can do,Ó said Damiani of the strong of-

fensive and defensive rhythm.

The Chiefs, who beat Plattsburgh 20-12 the previous week, couldnÕ t muster enough yards to score despite the winning the turnover battle three-to-one.

SaranacÕ s Mason Utzler was held to 5-of-13 passing for 16 yards and an interception , while the running game had trouble gaining traction as well.

Rafael Rivera ran the ball seven times for 18 yards and Michael Charland added 13 yards on 11 carries in a tough offensive outing for the Chiefs.

Sentinels score 24 seconds into game, roll to 43-6 victory Ticonderoga runs strong to close out regular season

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ While Ticonderoga used their usual running attack to roll past Plattsburgh High Oct. 17, they exploded onto the scoreboard very early en route to a 43-6 victory.

After Kaleb Wiktorko recovered a forced fumble on the first play of the game from scrimmage, Garrison Hughes connected with Ryan Trudeau for a 31-yard touchdown pass to give the Sentinels a 7-0 lead 24 seconds into the game.

Hughes completed his first two passes for 53 yards while finishing 6-of-12 for 109 yards and two scoring throws, the second going to Brody Rocque for 19 yards in the second quarter.

Hughes also ran the ball five times for 93 yards and two touchdowns, a 26 yard score in the second and 18 yard run to cap off a 10 play drive to open the second half.

Trudeau excelled on both sides of the ball, catching a pair of passes for 52 yards and running for eight yards. Defensively, Trudeau was involved in 2.0 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, a tipped pass, a forced fumble and an interception. Ò We came out with a lot of intensity and improved on it throughout the game,Ó Trudeau said.

Devin Alkinburgh added three tipped passes at the line, one which appeared to be a backwards pass but was ruled dead by the officials.

He also recorded one sack of PHS quarterback DÕ Andre Lemieux. Ò We have worked on our speed off the line all week,Ó Alkinburgh said. Ò We knew the short pass play (PHS) runs and we worked on jumping that. Coach had us well prepared.Ó Ò We have been sharp on defense, something that has improved every week,Ó head coach Scott Nephew said. Ò You are always happy with a win, but I also feel we were not as sharp as we usually are.Ó On the offensive side of the ball, Rocque caught a pair of passes for 27 yards and a score while running the ball nine times for 32 yards to

go with a tackle for a loss defensively.

Konner Bruce led the attack on the ground with 11 carries for 103 yards and one touchdown, while Ian Lawrie ran the ball four times for 32 yards, Cody Huestis had five carries for 29 yards and a score and Samuel DuShane two catches for 27 yards.

Defensively, Wiktorko had 1.0 tackles for loss and the opening fumble recovery. Cody Shaner had two tackles for loss with one being a sack, while Kolby Bradford had one tackle for loss, 0.5 sacks and a tipped pass that also appeared to be a backwards throw but ruled dead, Jacob Spaulding had 0.5 tackles for loss, Nick St. Denis one tackle for loss, Chase Dixon 0.5 tackles for loss, DuShane a forced fumble to gowith a sack and Domanic Banish had an interception.

Banish also connected on a 25-yard field goal offensively.

Overall, the Sentinels outgained the Hornets 406-124.

Lemieux finished the game 5-of-13 throwing for 78 yards and a scoring pass of 25 yards to Riley Monahan in the fourth quarter, with Monahan finishing with two grabs for 47 yards.

Lemieux also added 24 rush yards on 11 carries.

Skyler Barriere had 11 yards receiving, with Quran Carroll adding 14 total yards (12 receiving), and Jack Goldsmith 12 yards receiving.

Defensively, Monahan, Josh Rock-Vanier and Henry Sanchez each had one tackle for loss, while Dalton Harney and Sanchez each had 0.5 tackles for loss. Jack Longtin recovered a muffed punt for the Hornets.

PHS will next play in the Section VII/Class B semifinals against Beekmantown Saturday, Oct. 25, while the Sentinels will play a Section VII/X crossover game at Malone. Ò We have got a lot of stuff we have to improve on to up our game,Ó Hughes said. Ò We donÕ t really know what we are going to be facing, but I am going to treat this as a playoff game,Ó Trudeau said. Ò We are focused on two weeks and trying to improve and get ready for that game (against Moriah Oct. 31). Ò We want to keep having fewer penalties, which has been happening throughout the season,Ó Nephew said on what he expects against Malone. Ò We also want to come out with that edge we have had earlier in the year.Ó
