FunicielloÊ backÊ inÊ NY-21Ê race By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — After months of coy statements, Matt Funiciello formally rolled out his campaign for New York’s 21st Congressional District on Saturday. In his announcement speech at a Glens Falls banquet hall, Funiciello likened the country’s political situation to the cowboy film “Shane” in which a gunslinger’s retirement plans are dashed by a ruthless cattle baron. “We don’t have to celebrate Jack Palance in �Shane’,” Funiciello said, likening the film’s
sociopathic killer to what he perceives as the pitfalls of a two-party system that “still smacks of elitism and ruling class political theater.” Funiciello joins incumbent Rep. Elise Stefanik and Democratic hopeful Mike Derrick, a retired army colonel from Peru, Clinton County. The candidate highlighted the country’s foreign conflicts, including the war in Iraq, which is nearing its 13th anniversary on March 20, as one of his chief concerns. It’s an issue that is not being discussed by either candidate, he said. “Our foreign policy is what’s preventing us >> See FUNICIELLO | pg. 16
Addiction Forum draws large crowd By Christina Scanlon

LAKE GEORGE — The library at Lake George High School was packed last week when two former drug users shared their stories of addiction and recovery. There were tears as Joshua Burns and Chloe Mincher delivered brutally honest details of their teen years. Burns recalled drinking and smoking pot as early as age 13, while Mincher could
pinpoint the moment she began at age 14, the day her mother was diagnosed with cancer. A third man, Nicholas James “Nico” Scroggy, a former Lake George student, started his drug use around the same age, though he was not in attendance on that rainy Wednesday night. The one year anniversary of Scroggy’s death is April 3. Scroggy’s mother, Karine Montayne, said despite the freshness of the wounds

HORICON — Four people were taken into custody over the weekend after a search warrant on two separate residences found hundreds of marijuana plants and evidence of a large scale growing operation, according to State Police. Tyler Monahan, 24, and Riley Monahan, 19, were arrested as a result of the early Saturday, March 19 morning search warrant at 136 Johnson Road. According to police, approximately 300 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, more than 10 pounds of processed marijuana and numerous pieces of marijuana growing equipment were found. Thousands of dollars in cash, two vehicles and a motorcycle, all believed to be proceeds from the large scale growing operation were also seized. Both men were charged with first-degree criminal possession of marijuana, seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and the public health law violation of unlawfully growing cannabis. They were arraigned in Horicon Town Court and remanded to the Warren County Jail.

‘Addams Family’ musical to be presented at WHS Show directed by Jim Corriveau By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — Concluding months of preparation, the Warrensburg Drama Club is to present “The Addams Family — a musical” in three performances Thursday March 31, Friday April 1 and Saturday April 2 in Warrensburg High School on Schroon River Road. Each night, the performance begins at 7:30 p.m. The show is a slapstick-style comedy based on the popular 1970s television show and the spinoff movie. The production features plenty of songs and dance routines, the latter choreographed by Laura Uhly, with the assistance of Warrensburg sophomore Natalie Davey, an accomplished dancer. The production is directed by acclaimed Warrensburg Central music teacher and dra-
ma coach Jim Corriveau — assisted by Mikelean Allen who designed the costumes and serves as production manager. The show features an instrumental ensemble of professional musicians to accompany the onstage action. The cast includes approximately 50 students onstage, with a similar number working behind the scenes on lighting, sound, sets, and makeup. General admission is $7. During a recent practice, WCS senior Ellen Jones, who’s playing the lead role of the girl “Wednesday” Addams, watched Corriveau jump onstage to substitute in a role for an absent actor moments after pounding out a show-tune accompaniment on the piano. “Mr. Corriveau is very flamboyant and dramatic,” she said with a smile, watching him cavort onstage in portraying a character. “He does have high standards in acting, and cast members work hard not to let him down.” Jones has participated in Corriveau’s drama productions over all of her six years in high school. This is her first lead role, she said, noting she may have been chosen for
the role because she resembles the character and has acted and dressed like Wednesday Addams for years. Jones is planning to attend SUNY Purchase beginning this fall as an Art major. She added that she is likely to participate in theater there. WCS senior Wesley Bessaw of Thurman, who has another principal role in The Addams Family, also watched Corriveau’s antics onstage coaching the student actors. “Acting out the parts, Mr. Corriveau really puts himself into the roles and he can be goofy or serious,” he said. “He’s inspired me to become an actor.” Bessaw, who is headed for Elmira this fall to major in theater arts, said that since 10th grade, he has acted in three of Corriveau’s productions. “These productions have provided me with the best experiences of my life,” he said. “I love it.”

Senior Ryley Scott, best known for her prominent role as an athlete on the BoltonWarrensburg Soccer team that in 2014 fought into the state Final Four, also said she enjoyed acting and dancing in the WCS musicals. “Through the Drama Club, I’ve made a different group of friends — and everyone in these productions has become so close, like family.” Tom Schuettinger, a senior who has a featured role that involves him singing and dancing, offered his thoughts about his five years in Corriveau’s shows. “Performing is such fun — I’ve had a great time, he said. “As an eighth grader I was shy, but people who see me now wouldn’t believe it.” Show tickets are available in the high school office.
WARRENSBURG — Stony Creek Supervisor Frank Thomas said he has no concerns about the town’s highway superintendent being ticketed for possession of marijuana. Stony Creek Highway Superintendent Neil Bradley was charged over the weekend with unlawful possession of marijuana, a noncriminal violation, after police searched his vehicle. “No, no worries,” said Thomas when asked if he thought the charges would affect Bradley’s performance. The town board does not have any authority over the elected position, he said. Bradley has held the position since 2001. He was charged Saturday, March 19 af-
ter a traffic stop by State Police in Warrensburg for questionable window tint. Police said Bradley was the sole occupant of the car and consented to a search of the vehicle which was prompted by the officer due to an odor of marijuana detected during the stop. Bradley was operating a 2004 BMW. Police did not release information about the owner of the vehicle. Police said a pipe with about a gram of marijuana inside it was in the car. Bradley was not accused of driving under the influence of the substance. According to police, Bradley said the pipe belonged to his girlfriend who is battling breast cancer. Bradley was given a ticket to appear in Warrensburg Town Court. Police said the charge is a violation, which equates to the level of a traffic ticket.

Students learn about abuse in ‘Relationship Jeopardy’ WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Central School District tenth grade students in Miss Uhly’s health class recently learned about the serious issue of unhealthy and destructive relationships through an interactive game. Delaney Rives, Youth Services Coordinator for the Domestic Violence Project of Warren and Washington Counties recently visited and challenged the students to a game of “Relationship Jeopardy”. Categories included That’s Not Love; Types of Abuse; Warning Signs; Statistics; Social Media; and Healthy Relationships. In a fashion similar to the famous game show, points were assigned based on question difficulty and awarded for correct answers. The classes split into teams consisting of 3 to 4 members each. As the teams of students selected and answered questions in the categories of their choice, there was further discussion of the topic. Some of the questions included vid-
eos. For example, the category “That’s Not Love” featured cartoon scenarios of acceptable actions demonstrating acts of love and unacceptable actions demonstrating otherwise. Another video explained “consent” by using tea as a metaphor. The video was humorous, yet clearly clarified consent versus non-consent. Nearly 1.5 million high school students nationwide experience physical abuse from a dating partner in a single year according to the website loveisrespect.org. “The light setting on such a serious topic made students comfortable and really opened up for discussion. It is important for young people to be aware of what abusive behavior is, which is often mistaken for acts of love,” said Miss Uhly. Teams ponder the answer to “Relationship Jeopardy” presented by Delaney Rives (upper right corner).
Hudson Headwaters awarded $325,000 to treat opioid abuse QUEENSBURY — The Hudson Headwaters Health Network has received an annual $325,000 grant from the federal Health and Human Services Administration (HHS) to expand treatment options for substance abuse and medication addiction. “Addiction and abuse of opioids, including both heroin and prescription pain medications, is a serious and increasing public health problem,” said John Rugge, MD and CEO. “Community health centers such as Hudson Headwaters have a role to play in addressing this issue.” Rugge said that the grant funds would help Hudson Headwaters improve collaboration with area substance abuse treatment programs, including long-term medication-assisted treatment, and bring educational resources to help health providers make informed prescribing decisions. According to HHS, approximately 4.5 million people in the United States were non-medical users of prescription
pain relievers in 2013, and almost 300,000 were current heroin users. HHS also estimates the number of unintentional overdose deaths from prescription pain medications has nearly quadrupled from 1999 to 2013, and deaths related to heroin increased 39 percent between 2012 and 2013. The award to Hudson Headwaters was part of $94 million in Affordable Care Act funding that is going to 271 health centers across the country. In making the announcement, HSS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell said “The opioid epidemic is one of the most pressing public health issues in the United States today. Expanding access to medicationassisted treatment and integrating these services in health centers bolsters nationwide efforts to curb opioid misuse and abuse, supports approximately 124,000 new patients accessing substance use treatment for recovery and helps save lives.” Research demonstrates that a whole-patient approach to treatment through a combination of medication, counseling, and behavioral therapies is most successful in treat-
ing opioid use disorders. In 2014, over 1.3 million people received behavioral health services at community health centers. This represents a 75 percent increase since 2008. “Hudson Headwaters recognized the importance of mental health to overall health more than 15 years ago,” said David Alloy, PhD, “and we have worked to develop a capacity to support Network patients with mental health care.” Hudson Headwaters’ behavioral health staff includes licensed social workers, psychologists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners. Hudson Headwaters does not currently provide direct substance abuse services.

Supreme hypocrisy
f President Obama and Senator McConnell were sincere public servants, they would be speaking directly to each other, discussing realistic ways they could perform their duties, while remaining loyal to their principle beliefs and the American public. But instead of addressing the issue and speaking directly to each other, they are playing a calculated game of chicken. Sadly this game never ends. It only gets worse and both sides are active players. Immediately upon the death of Justice Scalia, the president made it clear he would be nominating a replacement. At the same time, Senate Majority Leader McConnell declared the Senate would not consider a nominee deferring to the upcoming election for the new president to make the nomination. Citing the 1992 speech given by then Senator Joe Biden as grounds for withholding hearings, McConnell is publicly standing firm, setting the table for a showdown with the president and pitting the two parties and the American public against each other. These transparent public servants are so out of touch with the American public, it’s no wonder they can’t begin to grasp why so many primary voters are willing to turn the nation over to either a confirmed socialist or a real estate developer before letting a lifelong politician back in the White House. Here is what should be happening behind the scenes: Obama and McConnell should be having private conversations discussing the dilemma they share and the best solutions available to them to address the equally divided court. The president’s nominee is described as a moderate liberal. Scalia, as we know, was a hardline conservative. The Republicans seem to be basing their decision to withhold the hearings on the certainty that they will take control of both the White House and the keep control of the Senate this fall. If they do not win both, they run the risk of placing themselves in a far worse position. Should the Republicans lose both the White House and the Senate, they may find themselves having the current nominee withdrawn and an ultra-liberal nominee put in his place. Unless our political officials learn to work together instead of calculating ways to obtain complete dominance over each other, no one wins and America loses. The games must stop and conducting the people’s business must come first. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

Troubling trends emerging with candidate access
W
e’re coming up on an entire year since the earliest contenders declared their presidential campaigns. The race for the White House feels like it has gone on forever — because it has. And we still have just over seven months until it’s all over. Part of this sense of omniscience is the 24-7 news cycle where the candidates soak up as much coverage as possible — They hold court in post-debate spin rooms, cruise the Sunday news programs, crack jokes on talk shows and give one soundbite after another to the press corp assigned to cover their events. We, the press, then broadcast, write, remix and analyze all of it ad nauseum. It’s a vicious cycle: It’s always been fashionable among the professional political set to bash the media (See: Just about every candidate in the 2016 scrum) while also acknowledging they depend on us to disseminate their message to voters. As such, we live in an uneasy, symbiotic relationship. Here in New York’s 21st Congressional District, voters will head to the polls this fall to select the North Country’s representative in Washington, D.C. We see an alarming trend already starting to emerge. Secrecy. Rep. Elise Stefanik, the incumbent, prides herself on her transparency and access to her constituents. Surrogates and staffers are always quick to point at her busy schedule — meeting with voters, visiting local businesses, attending ceremonial events — as a sign of her commitment to the district. We have no doubt Stefanik is committed to her constituents. Too bad we can’t watch the freshman lawmaker at work in a natural setting. Most of these events are unannounced and closed to the press. Stefanik then uses a variety of tools — mainly social media — to connect directly with voters, skirting reporters in the process. Other events are open. But these are not vehicles in which we see the lawmaker engaged in retail politics, but rather stage-managed events designed for
quick soundbites and controlled narratives. Perhaps the most organic setting where we can view the lawmaker are the town hall meetings in which Stefanik interacts with her constituents. But those are closed to the press. It’s a format that showcases the first-term lawmaker at her best: Bright, well-versed in policy, an engaged listener and able to think fast. Too bad we can’t report on them. The reason? Constituents often discuss private problems, says the rep and her staff. This was never a problem with Rep. Bill Owens and other politicians we’ve covered. They simply expected the media to exhibit tact while reporting sensitive info — say, for instance, leaving out names and personal info of constituents who are sharing stories of their problems with the VA and other government institutions. We don’t attend these events full of “gotcha” questions looking to catch an elected official in a moment of weakness. And although his campaign is flying under the radar, Democratic hopeful Mike Derrick is beginning to exhibit some of the same characteristics: His campaign lobbied press to cover an event last week, but demanded a significant part of it be off the record. The trend of declaring entire public events off the record is ridiculous. An open press is part of the fabric of our country — the open exchange of ideas. But it becomes tough when our access to candidates is severely limited. The Sun Community News Editorial Board is comprised of Dan Alexander, John Gereau, Pete DeMola and Keith Lobdell.

SyrianÊ refugeesÊ areÊ world-wideÊ issue
To the Editor: Our cluster group, Friends of Refugees in the Champlain Valley, in association with the North Country Refugee Collaboration Project, was considerably encouraged with your support of our mission (“Taking in refugees will be good for the Adirondack Park”). We have made contact with the Vermont Resettlement Program which has been successfully integrating migrants for 25 years. Secretary of State John Kerry has just publicly declared that ISIS is committing acts of genocide. Of the 20 million citizens of Syria, 10 million are seeking safe asylum. They have no more homes in Syria; they, in fact, have no more country to return to. Europe is facing destabilization and needs the rest of humanity to reach out. Those “Others,” those strangers with no assets, no papers, no recommendations, could be us. It’s hard to imagine there being no Red Cross, no federal disaster assistance, no schools for shelters, no hospitals, no cars, radios, cell phones, blankets, pharmacies — no nothing. As Scrooge famously asked in the Christmas Carol, “Are there no work houses?” No, not even those.
This is not just a Mideast, or European crisis. This is a global disaster that needs us all to give concrete suggestions and help and yes, perhaps even shelter. Shunning isn’t a solution, it is a punishment and there refugees have had enough. When we see in their faces our own beloved families, then it is harder to turn away. Bobbi Perez Willsboro

ResponseÊ toÊ DonÊ Sage
To The Editor: As Troop Commander of New York State Police Troop B, I read with great interest the letter published recently in the Sun Community News by Schroon Town Board member Don Sage. In his letter, Mr. Sage accuses the State Police of harassment, intimidation and entrapment of participants at the annual Schroon Lake Ice Fishing Derby, which was held on the first weekend of March. I’ll be blunt: There is absolutely no truth to his allegations. The State Police did not add any extra patrols for the event. We had our regular number of Troopers patrolling in Essex County for the weekend. Because highway safety is a critically important part of our mission, Troopers patrolled the highways around the lake to ensure the safety of Derby participants and members of the public. The results were not extraordinary, with only two arrests, both for drinking and driving. The members of Troop B, including myself, take great pride in the fact that we get to live and work in one of the most beautiful areas of our country. We are committed to providing the best possible service to our communities with the utmost professionalism. That commitment extends to ensuring that the events that define the North Country and bring visitors to our region are successful and safe. I am always available to our residents and community leaders. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at Troop B headquarters with any concerns. Major Charles E. Guess New York State Police Troop Commander, Troop B
ObamaÕ sÊ debtÊ forÊ theÊ nextÊ generationÊ
To the Editor: One legacy that President Obama has blessed us with, and Hillary and Bernie wish to enhance, is spending, and therefore, debt. Congress doesn’t seem to mind it either. The recent bipartisan budget deal is $4.3 trillion dollars of spending for which there is only 3.7 trillion of revenue. That’s a $550 billion deficit, which is $1,500 million a day of new debt. Obama tells us that everything is fine and not to believe the naysayers. However, the naysayers include the non-political professionals in the Congressional Budget Office, the Office of Management and Budget, and major financial publications who continue to say your debt is very bad. The budget includes $750 million of free Obamacare for illegal aliens, but 300 fewer border guards. Free smart phones are also being handed out to illegals. The Democrats are currently trying to arrange free lawyers for illegal aliens. Cuba has demanded $100 billion of your cash. Iran was given a boatload of your cash in the form of interest on frozen assets, completely unnecessary. Obama also wants to take Puerto Rico’s debt and make it your debt. North Korea will be talking to the Bank of Obama soon. All this Obama benevolence just means you and your kids are deeper in debt because nothing’s free. The money is being borrowed on your behalf, which makes you and your children the debtors, not a government that has no money of its own. The debt you are responsible for just blew by $19 trillion dollars and will be over $20 trillion by the time Obama leaves office. It will have doubled during his eight years. The $10 trillion of debt during Obama’s term matches the total of all the other presidents combined. Hillary and Bernie are running a classic liberal free stuff campaign. They claim they’ll get the loot needed from Wall Street, but neither Wall Street nor the rich have $1,500 million a day to chip in. It’s a pretend notion that won’t happen. The rich can help, but the Progressive Liberal Income Redistribution Plan (PLIRP)will ultimately involve the middle class, as Obamacare has already proven. It will come back to you debtors to cover the free stuff, the debt, and PLIRP. You and your children. Oh, by the way, you’ll need to borrow $63,000 for each Syrian refugee and/or Islamic terrorist that Obama relocates to your neighborhood, none of whom properly vetted. Someday soon your government, or other governments, will require you to pay the debt you owe. It’s currently $60,000 for each of us, including the kids. I wonder what the kids will think as they realize what’s been done to them? You won’t have to send in a check for 60K, but higher taxes will come for the 50 percent that pay taxes and your 401k/IRA’s will be fair game; it’s already been proposed. Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown
InternetÊ anÊ amazing,Ê essentialÊ tool
To the Editor: Whether we like it or not, the internet is rapidly becoming a necessary part of life. I recently had an experience that provides a prime example of how life can be improved by this amazing tool. I, frankly, couldn’t have even considered at home in Essex County. I was out of town recently and developed a debilitating sinus infection. Because I had access to the internet, the option of having a virtual consultation with a physician was suddenly an option. I logged in, provided my credit card (for the $40 fee) and after a 15 minute video appointment with the doctor, I went to a local pharmacy to pick up my prescription. These types of internet applications are going to become more prevalent in the way we live and access services. It is hard to comprehend that in many communities within the Adirondacks, there is antiquated internet access (or in some neighborhoods such as mine, none). If we want to maintain a decent quality of life, attract visitors, encourage businesses to be established or have citizens move within the Blue Line, it is imperative that everyone has decent access to this amazing tool.

Little Bits
To the Editor: I read your editorial re: “Taking in refugees will be good for the Adirondack Park.” I can only conclude that you on the editorial board are either trying your hardest to be politically correct or you are incredibly naive. Let’s take a look at your “common sense” reasoning. First, jobs. You state that immigrants don’t share the mindset of being on public assistance. The Center for Immigration Studies has found that 49% of “legal” immigrants receive some form of public assistance compared to 30% of natural born citizens. The percentage for “illegal” immigrants is even higher. You state businesses can’t find employees. The unemployment rate in the Adirondacks is 10.2%. (Largely, I believe, as a result of the APA’s restrictive intrusion on homeowners and businesses.) The average for New York State is 5.7%. Yeah, that’s what we need… more people looking for work. Second, schools. You seem to think that importing Muslims will help build up the school systems throughout the area. I live downstate. My wife is a school teacher in NYC. I can assure you of this. More and more private and charter schools are opening up down there. Why? The more “immigrants” the public school system is forced to absorb, the more parents are trying desperately to get their kids out. Third, diversity. You need look no further than Dearborn, Michigan where the city voted, under pressure from the Muslim community, to allow Sharia law. That’s great if you agree with the death penalty for not believing in Allah or a woman getting stoned to death for having sex out of wedlock. Or how about Cologne, Germany, where 1,000 women were assaulted, sexually and physically, on New Years Eve by hoards of Muslim men. Or, how about Marseille, France, which is now called the “most dangerous city in Europe” because the 40% Muslim population has completely taken over the city. If you happen to be non-Muslim, you can’t even walk the streets without being harassed or assaulted. While I totally understand feeling badly for the refugees, especially the women and children, reality sometimes gets in the way. This country is $19 trillion in debt. The infrastructure is falling apart. Jobs are disappearing. And you (and the North Country Refugee Collaboration Project) want to take on more? Really? Bill Bendel, Chestertown/Long Island

To the Editor: Find it strange that Donald Trump instills so much fear in the Republican leadership. He’s not what they wanted, nor did they expect him to succeed. Why do they hate him more than a Democrat whose desire is to destroy personal rights granted by the constitution or a democratic socialist who is preaching class warfare as did Karl Marx, Trotsky and Adolf Hitler? The answer is very simple: Donald Trump is the first presidential candidate in the history of the United States who was not groomed and primped and led by the “Good Old Boys in the Back Room” and the public loves it. Because there is a candidate who does not “shut up, toe the line and do as you’re told.” Boehner can’t control him. Mitch McConnell can’t control him. The “Good Old Boys in the Back Room” are scared stiff because he might upset their plans for running the country. And now, the DNC is starting to fear him because Democrats who are not happy with what the “Democratic Good Old Boys in the Back Room” have been doing, are turning to Trump. And he might upset their plans. It’s unreal. I’ve been involved in politics at one level or another since my birth. My father was a town supervisor when I was born. As far back as I can remember, the public has complained about them darn politicians and the shady backroom deals. And now that we have somebody who might, and I repeat might, not be part of the darn politicians and their shady backroom deals, we’re scared. We listen to John Boehner and Mitch McConnell and the rest of the “Good Old Boys in the Back Room” tell us what an evil man Donald Trump is and we freaking believe them. Think about it. We quiver in our beds in fear of Donald Trump because the Democratic and Republican Party leadership, that we all hate and distrust, tell us to quiver in our beds in fear. We can’t make up our minds because we would rather be shafted by a system we know will shaft us, than take a chance on something different. In closing, I want to remind everyone that the Republicans used to gnash their teeth and wring their hands and yes, quiver in their beds in fear because they were the minority in the Congress and President Obama could do pretty much as he pleased. Just in case you didn’t know it, after gaining control, our Republican Congress votes in favor of the president’s bills more often now than before when it was a minority. Bob Gibson Long Lake

Silly sap stories Gordie Little
Columnist
I
t’’s time for a few silly sap stories. Pardon the alliteration, but I wrote this on St. Patrick’s Day and that always makes me silly. The Little ancestors migrated from the Scottish Highlands to Northern Ireland in the 17th century and thence to America in 1848. The transition into spring unlocks the cobwebs of my mind. Poignant memories bubble up and I’m blessed to retrieve some of them at this time of year. I can’t recall the first time I tasted maple syrup, but I would guess I was about 8 when we moved to Carthage from downstate. Sugar on snow came a bit later at age 12 in Massena Center. Don’t know what that is? Google it. At 13, I was working in a huge sugar bush. The owner was about 6 feet 4 and I was a foot shorter. I was tasked with following him as he shouldered an odd-looking gasoline motor with an auger used to drill tap holes. I carried the taps and drove them into each hole. Easy, you say? Not for me, wading through deep snow with my stubby legs as I tried to keep up with him, was a challenge I never faced before or since. But, I stuck it out. His wife was an excellent cook and her stick-to-the ribs kitchen concoctions made it all worthwhile. I have no idea how many trees he tapped, but I understand his sugar bush was one of the largest in the area at that time. By today’s standards with endless miles of plastic tubing, pumps and modern equipment, it would no doubt pale by comparison. A bit later, in Moira, we had several tall maples in the front yard. My mom allowed me to gather sap and boil it down on her ancient kerosene stove in a copper boiler. It seemed to take forever, but the end product was to die for, especially with waffles made on our cast iron stove-top waffle maker. I often sampled the sap right out of the buckets and loved it, but never dreamed it would someday become a commercial product on its own. My mother always warned that drinking too much of it would turn my stomach and digestive system into a growling nightmare that would keep me on the throne, if you know what I mean. My best friend in high school was Theron Rockhill who lived on a small farm outside of town. We loved to ride bareback on his work horses around an abandoned race track. We also enjoyed many hours in his sugar shack, boiling maple sap over a wood fire. Those were the days. What’s up with that new product you can find on your grocery shelves these days? From what I hear, it’s pure maple sap, straight from the trees to you. Chill it and chug-a-lug. Why didn’t I think of that? Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

Warren County supers hears options for structure By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — The Warren County Board of Supervisors hosted Stephen Acquario, executive director of the New York State Association of Counties, last week for a presentation concerning possible new structures for organizing the county government. The board makes decisions using a weighted vote, a system that is not carried over to the committee level. Some have argued that structure does not equate to the one person, one vote rule. The current board structure seats 20 representatives, including 11 town supervisors, five representatives from Glens Falls and four more from Queensbury. Prior to leaving office in December, former Queensbury atLarge Supervisor Mark Westcott became a vocal critic of the system. He continues to urge the board to look at it’s current structure. Westcott addressed the board following Acquario’s talk. “I would contend this board is unconstitutional,” he said. He asked for clarification or possibly a comparison between
Warren and Nassau counties. In 1994, Nassau County had a similar system, Westcott said. A federal lawsuit was filed and the ruling determined that county’s structure did not meet the requirements of one person, one vote. In detailing the county’s options, either continuing with a board of supervisors or board of legislators, Acquario said there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach. Opponents of changing to a board of legislator system have argued the geographic layout of Warren County prevents that arrangement from working. In order to fairly distribute the population into equal districts, Glens Falls and Queensbury would be chopped up, while several towns would need to be represented by one legislator. What did garner some follow up question was the possibility of becoming a charter county, which would allow for an elected county executive instead of an appointed county administrator. Queensbury at-Large Supervisor Ron Montesi asked, “How does it work? Do you elect qualified people, or is it a popularity contest?”
Electing a county executive, said Acquario, would run through the same political structure as any elected official. The parties would nominate a person and the public would vote for their choice. The county executive structure does take some power away from the board as a whole, such as in hiring of department heads, Acquario explained. The board, however, does retain vote power. Queensbury at-Large Supervisor Doug Beaty asked if a weighted vote at the committee level could alleviate concerns. “I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” said Acquario, citing multiple other issues that could arise. However, a handful of counties in the state do operate with weighted votes on committee level. Acquario said he was unaware of any specific problems with the Warren County Board of Supervisors, but only in attendance to educate the board on the structures permissible under state law. “There is no need to change your government unless you feel a change is necessary,” he said. Acquario commended the group for initiating a “healthy discussion” on the matter.
Supers approve five year contract with S-NC Railroad By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — It resembled a roller coaster ride, rather than a train ride, to get Warren County’s contract with Saratoga & North Creek Railway approved last week. It came after an unorthodox route of tabling the resolution, reintroducing it, a round-the-table opportunity for every supervisor to ask questions of Ed Ellis, president of Iowa Pacific Holdings LLC, before, nearly two hours later, the measure passed. The bumpy path to approval began when Claudia Braymer, Glens Falls Ward 3 Supervisor, suggested tabling the resolution that would have approved a five-year continuation of the 10-year contract. Several supervisors had previously voiced concerns at the committee level with the possible storage of oil tankers and whether or
not SNCRR had met their requirements in the contract. Braymer suggested the board should not “rubber-stamp it,” but use take the opportunity to review the contract, possibly adding language to prevent the storage of oil tankers on the line. Braymer’s measure garnered support of 9 of 20 supervisors and, with the weighted vote, it was tabled. When a resolution is tabled, it prevents further discussion, which seemed to be a surprise to some supervisors who still attempted to give an opinion. Corinth Supervisor Richard Lucia said his community is dependent upon Warren County’s approval of the contract, in which they are also a party. A delay in the contract’s approval could also alter or seriously hinder the railway’s ability to prepare for the season. It was suggested a vote could put the reso-
WCC seeks citizens, business nominations WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for this year’s Business of the Year Award and Citizen of the Year Award. If someone knows of a business or a citizen who has made a significant contribution to the Town of Warrensburg, email a nomination to info@WarrensburgChamber.com or mail a nomination to Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce, 3839 Main St, Suite 2, Warrensburg, NY 12885. There is also a form on the Chamber’s website at WarrensburgChamber.com which can be completed and submitted online. Include the business or citizen’s name, address and phone number, the reason for the nomination, and the name, address and phone number of the person making the nomination. Nominations must be received by the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce no later than Monday, April 4. A recognition dinner will be held in May to honor the winners.
lution back on the floor, which then passed easily. With the opportunity for questions or comments then returned, most supervisors immediately had their hands in the air awaiting their turn. Ellis addressed the oil tanker issue several times, all with the same answer. “I’m not putting any oil tankers up there,” he said. Ellis acknowledged covenants related to his company’s financing prevent him from putting that promise in writing. Federal law states he can not deny transport of such cars. Ellis, he however, he owns the property in question and as there is no other storage for the cars, there would be no location for oil tankers to go. Some supervisors argued the contract was not up for discussion to either approve or deny, as it is a 10-year contract with an auto-
matic renewal at the five-year mark. Others argued the contract needn’t be renewed, as portion of the contract were breached by SNCRR, citing the discontinuation of the ski train. “We gave him permission not to run the ski train,” said Queensbury Supervisor AtLarge Supervisor Gene Merlino. Some had previously argued a recreational trail could replace the train line, citing poor ridership on the rails. County Attorney Brian Reichenbach said, “I believe they’ve met their obligation.” He added he did not believe the county had the right to terminate the contract based on the railway meeting the standards for renewal. Horicon Supervisor Matt Simpson said $519,000 in revenue for the county was generated by the railway, guaranteeing $81,000 annually according to the contract, and created 40 jobs.

Village leaders approve 2016-17 budget Hear that local tap water is pure By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — The 2016-17 gov-
ernmental budget for the village of Lake George — calling for a 1.5 percent increase in taxes despite a 2.9 percent cut in spending — was adopted March 21 as the village’s trustees tackled their largest agenda of business in years. The vote of the village leaders
was unanimous. The budget, which complies with the State’s tax cap, follows four years of no increase for village taxpayers. The projected increase in taxes regardless of lower spending is due primarily to a $430,250 reduction of the amount of debt reserves applied to balance next year’s budget — from $477,000 in 2015-16 to $46,750 in 2016-17. Revenues from sources other than taxes are projected to continue their trend of increasing — to a sum of $2.99 million, more than 58 percent of the total Village expenditures. Details on the budget can be found on the Sun Community News website. At the village board meeting, village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington passed out a report detailing the quality of the water that the village supplies to local households and businesses. The report indicates that the water is exceptionally pure, meeting applicable state standards. A village official said the report was distributed to reassure local citizens in the wake of a recent USA Today study revealing that more than 2,000 water systems across the nation contained excess levels of lead. In other business, the trustees endorsed the Lake George Fire Department’s plans to launch a Junior Firefighter program which would provide fire suppression training to recruits between 16 and 18 years old. Teenagers Eric Beecher and Max Brown are the first two youths to enroll in the program. Also, the village leaders heard details of a proposal by Kayaks Unlimited to rent kayaks from an unmanned concession in Shepard Park. Citing concerns about how such an operation might pose liability exposure to the village, the board tabled the proposal. In other business, the Lake George village board: • granted permission to the village fire department to utilize their aerial tower truck to hoist the flag above the audience at the Glens Falls Civic Center April 2 during the performance of the National Anthem prior to the Adirondack Thunder hockey team’s Firefighter Appreciation Night; • accepted top bids for dozens of items of excess village equipment and vehicles — from snowblowers, lawnmowers, and office equipment. Three aging trucks were sold for an average of $3,000; • approved Grant Gentner and Brad Lashway taking a basic fire suppression course; • expressed appreciation over the receipt of $20,000 from the Fund for Lake George
to go towards survey and engineering work for the ongoing project of upgrades at the village’s wastewater treatment plant. The board also authorized the mayor to submit grant applications for the project; • heard that the state comptroller has rated Lake George Village as having no significant level of financial stress; • was presented with a letter of congratulations from state officials over the Caldwell Presbyterian Church being named to the state Register of Historic Places; • heard expressions of appreciation from Dave Wick of the Lake George Park Commission for the board’s support of the proposed increase in boating fees; • passed a resolution calling for the state to boost funding for infrastructure upgrades being tackled by local governments; • approved the use of a property off Mohican and Canada streets owned by Sean Quirk as a municipal parking lot; • approved a advertising proposal totaling $4,200 by Mannix Marketing to promote the village’s Friday Night concerts via newspapers and Facebook; • accepted a check of from an insurance company to partially reimburse the village for one of two recent accidents involving fire trucks; • accepted a check for $7,250 to go toward the cost of a new pickup truck for the village fire department; • approved an occupancy tax grant for the annual King George Fishing Derby to be held July 8-10 by the Save the Lake Committee; • endorsed a list of roadway segments to be paved this summer and fall — most of which are on Montcalm and Bradley streets; •approved a contract with Clark Patterson Lee engineering firm for work at Charles Wood Park for a sum of $100,000; and • approved the use of Festival Commons in Charles Wood Park for various events: the Electric Love rock music festival on May 21-22; Americade from June 9 through 11; Adirondack Wine & Food Festival on June 25-26; the Rolling Mountain Festival set for July 6-7; the British Music Invasion fest on Aug. 13-14; Shriners’ Circus in midSeptember; the annual American Music Festival for the Lake set for Sept. 24-25; an Improv Records rock festival set for Sept. 30-Oct. 2; and the lake George Harvest Festival planned for Oct. 21-23.
Lake George awarded grant FUND grant awards village $20,000
LAKE GEORGE — The FUND for Lake George has awarded a grant of $20,000 to the Village of Lake George toward upgrading its wastewater treatment plant. Funding will pay for survey work to be performed in designing replacement of the existing plant. This latest grant is among the priority investments being made by The FUND to “stop the present decline of water quality and achieve sustained protection of Lake George for the next generation,” the driving goal of the organization’s Legacy Strategy. “The Village of Lake George is honored to be a leader in the stewardship of our beloved Lake George. We are committed to improving the treatment efficiency of our plant to ensure it no longer harms the lake’s renowned water quality,” said Blais. “Doing so in the earliest possible time frame requires dedicated financial support. We are truly grateful to The FUND for helping advance the project as now needed.” The Village of Lake George has recently submitted and received approval of a Preliminary Engineering Report for the Wastewater Treatment Plant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The existing plant was constructed in the 1930s and has received violations for exceeding allowable limits on nitrates that can lead to water quality impairment and nutrient pollution. The Engineering Report recommends replacement of the outdated facility with a new treatment plant that incorporates technologies to significantly reduce nitrate levels while also implementing green infrastructure to reduce and control stormwater runoff and provide for water reuse. Together these actions will deliver the level of performance needed to help safeguard lake health. As proposed, plant upgrades will include a sequence batch reactor that facilitates the removal of nitrates flowing into Lake George via West Brook.

mood swings, irritability, changes in friends and loss of interest in former hobbies or sports. “He was so funny, laid back, but he became an angry depressed kid,” she said. She chalked much of it up to being a typical teenager. There were other signs, too, she can recall from her son, now with the unfortunate 20/20 vision gained from the tragedy coupled with information about drug addiction that continues to surface. Lack of personal grooming, changes in sleep patterns, sniffling, acne and slurred speech were some she listed. “Vomiting and being okay with it,” she said. When kids vomit, they are sick. When those on drugs vomit, they know why and don’t seem alarmed. Her son didn’t overdose, as one might expect his story had ended. Scroggy was in rehab for heroin when he passed. “He went to bed, his breathing just slowed and slowed,” she said. “He didn’t wake up.” People often forget or don’t consider the damage the drugs do to bodies, she said. Burns did overdose. He explained how he would be dead if not for the drug dealer that performed CPR on him in a CVS parking lot and the Nar-
can, an opiate antidote, administered to him. “I didn’t wake up one day and decide to become an IV heroin user,” he said to the group of parents, grandparents, school board officials, school administration and community members. The following day, he retold the same story to Lake George seventh through twelfth graders gathered for an assembly. Vice Principal Cody Conley said teachers were reporting the students felt an impact from the presentation. He plans more activities in the future. “It’s our jobs as adults to keep the conversation going,” he said. He was pleased with the “tremendous turnout” for the evening presentation. At both events, Burns told of his early teens years, smoking marijuana and drinking. He told of a back surgery followed by an immediate addiction to pain pills, which later led to buying pills on the street and a quick escalation to heroin. It was cheaper than pills. “I didn’t buy it in New York City. I bought it up the street from a guy I went to kindergarten with,” he said. Montayne was familiar with the story, as was Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan, the event’s moderator. Don’t take comfort in the fact that your child is doing what is often considered softer or harmless drugs, she said.

“It’s easy to say, its only pot, only drinking,” said Montayne. “For a lot of kids, that’s all it is, but we don’t know who the kids are that are going to take it farther. There’s no way to tell,” she said. For Mincher, her drug use did not move beyond drinking and marijuana, however, it consumed and almost took her life. She went from being a nationally ranked rower at age 14, to prostituting herself within two years to pay for her habit. Both recalled their high school days and feeling like they wouldn’t be “cool” if they weren’t partying. “I thought I would be alone,” said Mincher. Instead, she described her sobriety as “beautiful.” Her recovery began four years ago, when at age 16, she asked for help. For Burns, it took a stint in jail, after he stole from a relative, to seek help. Today, both Mincher and Burns are doing well, pursuing college and have plans for bright and happy futures. For Montayne, she hopes parents can learn from her son’s life and loss. She and her three daughters maintain a Facebook page, called Nico’s House, where she offers support for families facing addiction. “It’s easy to say its not my child, and its not your child…until it is,” she said.

Lake George Historical society receives two grants Grants help portray Native American, Women’s Suffrage of Lake George LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Historical Association recently received two grants for $5000 each for the 2016 season. The grants are from the Lake Champlain Basin Program/Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership (CVNHP). One grant is a CVNHP Conservation and Community Grant for an exhibit entitled “Reclaiming Lost Centuries of Native American Presence in Lake George” and the second grant is for an exhibit entitled “Women’s Suffrage in the Lake George/Lake Champlain Basin”. The grant for the Native American Presence exhibit will be used to create a three part map and digital kiosk in the Native American room of the Historical Association’s museum in Lake George. The map and kiosk will highlight the sites and presence of area Indian tribes and families in the Town and Village of Lake George and the surrounding Lake George and Lake Champlain basin areas. The maps will be divided into three periods: prior contact with European explorers, the period during contact between Native
Americans and settlers (approx 1600-1800), and 1800 to present. The LGHA project will be assisted by area historians, archaeologists and Indian consultants. Lisa Adamson, LGHA Curator, will partner with area scholar and archivist Laura A. Lee to oversee collection of information and research during the spring of 2016. The LGHA invites anyone in the larger Lake George community who has information related to Native American presence in the area to share their information and stories. Information includes sites, trails, digs, homes, encampments or any families with indigenous ancestral roots in this area. Idea Partners of Lake George (a local design company) will design and create elements of the maps and interpretive kiosk. The second CVNHP grant is a suffrage drama grant. The LGHA is partnering with the North Country Community College (NCCC) in Ticonderoga under the humanities department with Professor Innam Dajany. She will guide her women studies class through research and development of a short dramatic script based on the life of suffragist Inez Mulholland who was from Essex, and a key figure in the early 20th century suffrage movement. Two teachers from Lake George High School will draft other short
vignettes along with writer Dr. Sally Wagner. The teachers, Amy Baker and Catherine Reid, will combine all scripts, including the NCCC script, to produce a play which will be performed for the public in December, 2016, about suffrage activity (good and bad) in the Lake George area. Notable personalities who were in the Lake George area include Susan B. Anthony, Katrina and Spencer Trask, George Foster Peabody and Mary Loines and Mary Jacobi. There were also several rallies in 1914, one at the former Warren County Courthouse and one at the former Union High School in Lake George just before the state of New York voted to grant women the right to vote in 1917. The LGHA will retain a video of the play and display it for the opening of its 2017 exhibit of the suffrage movement. The opening will commemorate the centennial of the passage of the Women’s Right to Vote in the state of New York, three years before the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Contact LGHA at 668-5044 or lgha@verizon,net if people have any life histories, oral stories or family members who may have been part of either the suffrage movement in the Lake George area or have Indian ancestry someone might wish to share.

Visitors come from all over for Thurman Maple Days THURMAN — The Thurman Maple Days got off to a bustling start, with all sites reporting that they were busy, some with recordbreaking numbers of guests. Thousands of gallons of sap were evaporated in Thurman’s four largest sugarhouses, while llamas, newborn lambs and kids, and Adirondack artistry provided additional enticements to visitors to travel the country by-ways to see all that was offered on this first weekend of the threeweekend free extravaganza. Site hosts welcomed a mixture of folks from around the southern Adirondack and considerably farther away–the capital district, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida and Georgia. They were interested in the tours and talks, some adopting Toad Hill’s tour leader, neighbor Lou Inzina, as “Uncle Lou” as he let them out to the sugar bush, the vacuum shed and around the sugar house. Randy Galusha reported that they were extremely busy and that the farm’s Wood Chuckin’ trebuchet demonstrations were popular. “We have a new twist in mind,” he said, hinting of new developments to come. Irv West, of Peru Llama Farm, said he smiled when a family from Queens asked him if the “noise” of the birds bothered him. “I told them that I lived in New York once, and
the car horns bothered me more.” West said many kids resisted their parents request to leave his popular “Hay Crawl” area, and some just delighted in romping with his dog. Hidden Hollow Maple engaged in an arduous boiling schedule, with 6,000 gallons of sap on hand and the intake tube still flowing at half-full as of Friday night. Owner Charles Wallace said guests tastetesting different syrup samples found his dark and extra dark syrup particularly appealing, and they will be boiling more in preparation
for next week’s visitors. Guests at Martin’s Lumber enjoyed a variety of exp er iences, including trying their hand at paper bead-winding, watching woodworking John Los carve wooden spoons and looking over his chairs, cutting boards, bowls, and boxes, shopping for bead and chainmaille jewelry, maple-y baked goods, children’s rocking chairs, wooden signs and sign blanks and sawing demos. “Everyone was so nice!” said Wini Martin. Nettle Meadow offered farm tours and a
tasting menu of cheese delicacies that included truffles and cheese cake, while Valley Road Maple Farm offered a classic pancake meal from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Adirondack Gold Maple added kids’ face painting to their usual regimen of sugaring demonstrations their 10th wedding anniversary at the annual Maple Sugar Party. The annual Maple Sugar Party fed over 170 people who gathered together to feast, laugh and listen to live music, all to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Some oldsters reveled in childhood memories as they savored succulent jackwax, while others, new to the traditional spring treat enjoyed their first chewy taste. All hosts (except the Sugar Party) are already gearing up for next weekend’s festivities, March 26 and 27. Nettle Meadow will be closed on Sunday so staff may spend time with family, and Adirondack Gold will be closed on Saturday. For details, visit ThurmanMapleDays.com, where people may download and print a 8.5 x 11 inch map and guide.

Local farmers achieve gold in World Cheese Championships THURMAN — Nettle Meadow Farm and Cheese Company’s owners Lorraine Lambiase and Sheila Flanagan has received another first place finish, this time a gold award at the World Cheese Championships in Madison, WI. Another of Nettle Meadow’s cheeses, the new Apple Cider Fromage Frais, also took gold in this highly-esteemed international contest. The bi-annual World Cheese Championship awards, conferred by an international panel, are among the most sought-after internationally by cheesemakers. This year’s World Championship Cheese Contest drew 2,955 entries from 23 countries, 31 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. The cheeses were judged over two days from Monday, March 7 to March 8, with an overall champion competition March 9. “We are extremely proud of the recognition given to both Kunik and the new Apple Cider Fromage Frais through these prestigious awards,” said Lambiase and Flanagan. Kunik, which took the gold medal among mixed milk bloomy rind cheeses, is a unique and voluptuous triple white mold-ripened cheese made from goat’s milk and cow cream. The blend makes Kunik richer and more flavorful than a brie-type cheese, but more subtle than similarly ripened goat cheeses. This win follows Kunik’s Blue Ribbon award in the Triple Crème category at the American Cheese Society’s annual North American Cheese Contest in 2010. Apple Cider Fromage Frais won the World Cheese Championship’s gold medal among mixed milk spreadable cheeses. The Apple Cider Fromage Frais is a uniquely-crafted spreadable cheese made from combining goat and cow milk and adding apple cider syrup. The syrup is produced on the farm by evaporating local cider in a manner similar to that used in making maple syrup, and produces a tangy, yet sweet, balanced flavor. Nettle Meadow Goat Farm is a 70 acre 350+ head goat and sheep dairy and cheese company just below Crane Mountain in the Adirondacks. Nettle Meadow distributes its cheeses locally and nationally, and the farm is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for cheese sales. Farm tours are given at noon on Saturdays. In addition, extra tours will be offered over the three weekends through Sunday, April 3 this year during Thurman Maple Days, when many local farms will be open for tours, demonstrations, and tastings. On Saturday, June 18 the farm will host its annual Nettle Meadow Cheese and Spirits Pairing. For more information, visit NettleMeadowCheeseandSpirits.com.

from being quintessentially American,” Funiciello told a crowd of supporters. “It’s preventing us from being Shane.” Funiciello, who owns a bakery in downtown Glens Falls, garnered 10.6 percent of the vote in 2014 when he came in third to Stefanik, who commanded a decisive 53 percent victory. Democratic candidate Aaron Woolf, an Elizabethtown-based filmmaker, drew 32.5 percent. Funiciello told the Sun he plans on conducting a “guerilla campaign” in which he will travel to every town in the district before the November election
to speak with voters and distribute bread made with New York-grown wheat. “We want to talk to actual people,” Funiciello said. “We want to get people voting again, regular working class people.” The candidate has spent the past 15 months organizing the Warren County Green Party, which is now affiliated with the state party. Two additional candidates announced on Saturday for seats in the state legislature: Steve Ruzbacki will challenge State Senator Betty Little, and Robin Barkenhagen will mount a challenge against Assemblyman Dan Stec. While the three candidates share similar ideas — the Green Party platform includes a $15 minimum wage, single-payer healthcare and a Green New Deal — the trio will run independently, said Funiciello. Funiciello called the newfound energy inspirational. Four years ago, he said, activists considered themselves lucky if five people showed up at a party meeting. Monthly events now draw between 15 and 25, while Saturday’s campaign launch saw 135 counted at the door, he said. This is the work that needs to be done to build a political party from roots up, Funiciello said, a process he estimated will take seven generations. The candidate expected interest in the Congressional race will be muted this cycle due to the presidential race. Funiciello did, however, predict a larger voter turnout and expected those voters would be looking for a third option if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, and real estate developer Donald Trump, a Republican, win their parties’ nominations. “I don’t think a lot of [the progressive base] will vote for Hillary,” Funiciello said. Since New York is a “safe state”, Funiciello asked attendees to vote for Jill Stein, the presumptive Green Party nominee. Here in the district, Funiciello said Stefanik and Derrick will be competing for the same slice of the electorate. In his speech, he pre-emptively brushed off spoiler concerns that have dogged the Green Party since 2000 when Ralph Nader ran as the party’s presidential candidate. Democrats continue to
believe the consumer advocate’s entry stripped away votes from their candidate, Al Gore, and handed the election to George W. Bush, a Republican. The country has a long history of movements that have disrupted the status quo, including the end of slavery, he said. “Let’s build a workers party that cares about human beings,” Funiciello said. “You guys can be the light of all of it.” The campaign raised $38,000 in 2014. Funiciello said they’re aiming for $100,000 this cycle. The campaign generated $2,200 on Saturday, according to Peter LaVenia, Funiciello’s campaign manager. The Green Party does not accept corporate donations. New York State Green Party Co-Chair Gloria Mattera, who attended the rollout, admitted fundraising poses a perennial challenge. But having a trio of local candidates who are known and present in their communities will help, she said. “I really feel positive about the candidates and how they will touch the voters one by one,” Mattera said. Funiciello’s opponents welcomed him to the race. “I enjoyed getting to know Matt Funiciello over the course of the last campaign,” Stefanik said. “And while I disagree with his policy solutions, I welcome Matt Funiciello to the race and look forward to a spirited debate on the important issues facing North Country families and small businesses.” “I know Matt personally and am looking forward to engaging with him on issues critical to Northern New York,” said Derrick. “I respect his commitment to the working residents of this district and the environment. Those of us who live here fully understand how working people and the environment are under pressure. While we share some priorities, we will differ on the best way to create positive change for the citizens of this district.” Funiciello and Derrick face an uphill battle in their efforts to unseat Stefanik. In January, the national, nonpartisan Rothenberg Report rated the race “Safe Republican.” “As a young woman in a party known for being full of aging white men, Stefanik has a larger national profile than most freshman members,” read the report. “Democrats are trying to cultivate retired Army Officer Mike Derrick into a top-tier candidate, but he’s not there yet.”

LangworthyÊ leadsÊ AdirondackÊ LeagueÊ All-Stars By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — The careers of several outstanding athletes were recognized recently as area sports officials announced the 2015-16 Adirondack League Basketball AllStars. Topping the list in girls basketball was Erin Langworthy, a senior at Warrensburg High School, who was named the Adirondack League Most Valuable Player. The All-Adirondack team, combining both West and East Divisions, is composed of the following athletes: Graceann Bennett and Mackenzie Bennett of Lake George High; Madasyn Bush of North Warren; Kaciey Sardina of Fort Edward; and Katie Buck of Argyle. The All-West Adirondack League girls basketball team includes Britanny Frasier of Warrensburg High, Lacey Cormie of Lake George, Morgan Yarosh of North Warren Central; and Maddie Pratt of Bolton High. In boys basketball, Hayden Smith of North Warren was named to the Adirondack League All-Star 2nd team.
Langworthy nets 1,916 career points History-making Warrensburg athlete Erin Langworthy concluded her high school basketball career this year having amassed 1,9016 points on varsity. Her league MVP award was the third such honor for her in three consecutive years — a first for the school district. Langworthy is not only an outstanding shooter, but she is effective at driving to the basket due to her elusive moves. She knows how to execute fade-away jumpshots, underhanded layups and other methods of getting the ball through the hoop when she’s double-teamed. She also knows how to switch directions fast and make unexpected moves — both of which draw fouls, and she’s an expert for sinking free throws, many of them resulting in three-point plays. In addition, fans are impressed how she can drive to the basket dribbling with her left hand, although she is righthanded. On defense, Langworthy is remarkable at anticipating other players’ moves, so she has forced plenty of turnovers that have helped her team compile an admirable record. Although Langworthy has set a half-dozen records at the school, including all-time top female basketball scorer, alltime top basketball scorer of both genders, and all-time single-game top scorer, she has been humble about her achievements, Coach Scott Smith said. “Despite all her accomplishments, Erin has always credited her teammates,” he said. “And she’s been a hard-working athlete, dedicated to the sport ever since the second grade.” Langworthy plans on playing the sport at Hartwick College, Castleton University or Lyndon State College. Britanny Frasier, a WCS Junior, is a “complete player” for the Burghers, with her substantial athleticism and strong defensive abilities, Coach Smith said.
“Britanny is a great rebounder — she can jump to the ceiling — and she has a great passing game,” he said.
Bennett sisters lead team to titles Lake George’s Mackenzie Bennett and Graceann Bennett were two mainstays of their team that went 21-3 for 2015-16, winning both the Section II Class C championship as well as the Adirondack League title. Both are versatile players who execute a strong, wellrounded game. Mackenzie, a 5’11” senior forward-guard, scored 1,101 points in her five years playing varsity and was recently named the 2015-16 Section II Class C Most Valuable Player. Coach Rob Tefft said she is a hard worker and who has a good shot — and has provided strong leadership for three years as a team captain. “Mackenzie has been a hard worker over all the years she’s played — she’s truly dedicated to the sport,” Tefft said.

ello Friends and Patrons! I hope this edition finds you all well and ready for spring! Easter is Sunday and it will be filled with jellybeans, chocolate eggs and bunnies, and of course, yellow marshmallow chicks! All of which will be followed by the biggest tummy aches in the world (of course, I am speaking about myself…can’t resist the chocolate bunnies!) Only a couple of things for you this week, so I promise it will be short, unless I go off on a tangent (which I usually do!). First of all, please be advised that the Board of Trustees of The Richards Library meets every first Monday of the month at 6 p.m. in the Community Event Room. The public is always invited to attend these meetings. Next, The Richards Library will be holding several focus groups in the upcoming months to find out what you, the patrons, like to see library provide for you. We will be inviting people from various groups, such as local businesses, families, and so on, to come in and let us know what you think of the services already provided and what new things you think should be added. We will be announcing the dates and times of these focus groups in the upcoming months, so please watch this column and our website and Facebook page. The Richards Library has been awarded a $3500 grant to provide the community with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs for adults and senior citizens. This grant will cover a period of approximately four years and we would like to include our sister communities of Bolton, Chestertown, Lake George and Stony Creek to share in our good fortune. Again, keep an eye out for announcements in this paper, and our website and Facebook page. We are planning to have some very interesting programs and a whole lot of fun! Then on Saturday, April 9, at 10 a.m., The Richards Library will have Dean Moore presenting a program for children called “Critters in the Litter”. I don’t know about you, but if we’re talking bugs, especially big, GROSS ones, I am there! Call 623-3011 and ask Mary to reserve a place for you! As always, a parent or guardian must accompany the kids to any and all programs. We thank you for your cooperation! Well that’s it for this week, and I will see you all in two weeks! Mike Librarian/Director
One Hundred Years Ago – March, 1916 Quarry fatality A horrible quarry fatality occurred recently at the Rising & Nelson Slate Quarry near West Pawlet, Vermont when two prominent residents of that place met with shocking deaths. The superintendent, Griffith J. Hughes and William Hughes, a native of Wales, had gone to look at some stone, when a large piece of rock, being hoisted and carried toward them, was released while squarely over the men, crushing them almost beyond recognition. The engineer in charge of the dumping crane was on a lower level and could not see the two men. Their death has cast a shadow over the entire community. (Note – It is amazing how, over the years, history repeats itself over and over. On Sunday, March 13, 2016, young Connor Sean McLaughlin, 12, was hiking with his uncle Jesse Malone, both of Greenwich, on a trail to a waterfall on Giant Mountain near Keene Valley. A large rock came loose near the falls, tumbled about 100 feet down a hillside and hit the boy in the back, pinning and crushing him against another rock. He was pronounced dead at the scene. One can hardly imagine the sorrow that this freak accident has caused him bereaved family.)
Catholic Church burns St. James’ Catholic Church at North Creek was destroyed by fire at an early hour Saturday morning, March 11, 1916, with most of its contents, entailing a loss estimated at about $5,000, partly covered by insurance. The fire broke out about 2:30 o’clock and is believed to have been caused by a defective chimney. Lenten services were held at the church the night before and when the sexton closed the building for the night it is believed that the fire was at that time smouldering unnoticed. The fire department hurried to the scene with their hand engine but could do little because all streams in the vicinity were frozen and it was impossible to secure an adequate supply of water. A bucket brigade was therefore organized but did little to calm the flames. When it was seen that the church was doomed, men rushed inside and removed the sacred vessels and such furniture and other articles as could be secured. A new pipe organ recently installed was destroyed. The loss was heavy and little was
Easter egg hunt draws 150 By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
MINERVA — Diane and Steve Colletti, owners of It’s About Thyme, surpassed their goal by 1,000 and set a new record over the weekend, getting more than 5,000 Easter eggs onto the field at Minerva Central School. “It was wonderful. It went smoothly and everyone was happy,” said Colletti on Monday. The idea came after a not-so-great experience for her son, now a teenager, at a similar event. In that instance, the children were lumped together at the start, leaving the little ones with no eggs to find. Colletti decided to create an egg hunt on her own, with more than enough eggs to go around. The hunt starts with the participants spread out around the field, single file, with bigger items in the center to attract the older children. The Colletti’s host the event for the public for free, giving out a spectacular amount of gifts and prizes. This year, more than 150 children showed up. In addition to the eggs, over 100 baskets were awarded. There are goodie bags for every child that

saved. The church building was a frame structure and was built by the late Rev. Father Kelley some time in the 1870’s. It had a seating capacity of 250. It was situated on the outskirts of the village on a hill. The Rev. M.J. McCaffery is the present pastor and he intends to rebuild the church as soon as possible, but this will be difficult because the building was only insured for $1,000, only one-fifth of its value. It is likely that a new and more convenient site will be secured in the village and until this has been accomplished, services will be held in Higgins’ Hall in North Creek.
Bottling plant takes shape The Riverside Distributing Company’s new bottling plant at Riparius, built to replace the structure destroyed by fire last summer (1915), is rapidly approaching completion and will, it is expected, be ready for operation by April 1, 1916. It will have a capacity of 30,000 bottles and will be one of the most modern and up-to-the-minute plants in Northern New York. The company was established in 1895.
Man seeks new trial The appeal of Delbert Kingsley, of Chestertown, from judgments of conviction for rape, second degree at his first trial, was argued before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Albany on March 23, 1916 by F.A, Bratt for appellant and James S. Kiley for respondent and the judgment was reversed. Myrtle Maloney, 14 years old, was engaged by defendant to do housework at his home near Chestertown. She entertained a young man named White and the defendant claims that when he objected to White staying late nights, the Maloney girl accused him of being responsible for her “condition,” which she confessed to several people that White had actually caused.

doesn’t win another prize. The jelly bean count winner took home a prize for a close guess — 4,500 for the jar filled with 4,331. “I counted every one of them myself,” said Colletti. This year, three bikes went to excited participants, and a tablet was a coveted item for the teen prize. Adults don’t go empty handed, either, with flowers and gift baskets for them, as well. As if the Colletti’s needed anything else on their plate, the hunt was conducted as they were preparing to open their business for another season on April 29. From then on, they’ll be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. Colletti has added a line of hand-blown glass items, all her own creation. They’ll wrap up the 2016 season with fall events including cider, doughnuts and wagon rides on the weekends. Like the Easter event, the couple offers it all for free. “It’s really something my grandmother would have done. I guess I get it from her,” said Colletti. “It’s really for the kids. I just want everyone to be happy.” For more information, visit itsaboutthymefarm.com.
A summer colony for inmates of the Rome Custodial Asylum for the Feeble Minded is to be established at Indian Lake and buildings are being erected preparatory to opening it the coming season. The object of the colony is to provide outdoor life for the inmates of the asylum. Last year a large number of feeble minded persons who are inmates of the asylum were placed at reforestation work and 140,000 seedlings were planted and it is planned to do the same this year.
Holy matrimony Howard Tucker, of Lake George, formerly of Thurman and son of Silas Tucker and Miss Flora Vernum, of Lake George, daughter of Clendon Vernum of Lake George, were married on March 8, 1916 by the Rev. Dr. T.S. Mills at the Presbyterian manse in Lake George. Miss Gladys Vernum and Ernest Tucker were the attendants.
Sweet and sour notes “In many things she holds her own,” admitted wise old Mr. Bone, “but be she old or be she young, no woman ever holds her tongue.” Smelt fishing in Lake Champlain has been exceptionally good for the past week or two.(Note – When I was a child, my father and grandfather never missed a season together smelt fishing on that lake.) Out of the 1,013 motor vehicles which were registered in Warren County in 1915, 948 were pleasure and 65 commercial cars.

Something new and novel is promised by “Coz” Harrington and other local sports. Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 6232210.
