LocalÊ Ô landmarkÕ Ê ElleÊ theÊ ElephantÊ isÊ onÊ theÊ moveÊ Life-sized elephant sold, finds new home in undisclosed location By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
POTTERSVILLE — For two years, Elle the Elephant stood sentinel in the front yard of the Howe residence on Olmstedville Road. It was not uncommon for a driver passing by to slow down and get a better glance at her hulking mass. Made of fiberglass, her details are realistic. The years have cracked her once fresh finish, now lending to a weathered patina, resembling the dry skin of a real pachyderm. “There’s a hatch underneath her belly,” Antoinette Howe said. “You can climb up in there and move her ears.” Her husband, Jason, has stabilized the ears, to prevent them from moving. “It’s just too windy here,” she said.
Chains stake Elle to the ground, also to avoid a different wind-related disaster. They resemble real elephant restraints, adding to her authentic qualities. “One time a DEC truck came right up here and took a look,” she said. She wasn’t sure if the visit was prompted by a call from a concerned citizen or the DEC officer himself. “Lots of people do a double take. Sometimes, they drive right down here,” she said, motioning from the bottom of their long driveway. The trees have sprouted up, preventing a good view of Elle from the road, reducing the number of curious visitors. “You can’t really see her anymore. I think it’s time for a new adventure for her,” she said. Jason joked of replacing her with a tall purple giraffe, visible from the road. To find her a new home, Antoinette took to Facebook and placed ads on three local online yard sale groups. >> See ELEPHANT | pg. 19
Main Street grant could bring Indian Lake native hopes to half-million to Warrensburg be part of Lyme solution
Property owners asked to express interest
Prevention measures called for by state

WARRENSBURG — A potential $500,000 could make its way to the streets of Warrensburg, by way of a Main Street grant. Its receipt, however, depends upon interest from commercial and residential property owners. “We’re looking for people to contact us to gage the interest in the application,” said Janet Tallman, project manager at Shelter Planning and Development, which will facilitate the grant for the town.

INDIAN LAKE — It was more than a decade ago when Indian Lake native Gina (Arsenault) Grillo began offering a different kind of insect repellent to ward off ticks, mosquitoes, black flies,
stable flies; her own proprietary blend of essential oils, found to be an effective repellent for insects. The formula, then called #7, was popular, but just one of many products she sold. Grillo has appeared on QVC with her unique bed pillow Grillo’s Pillow, and has a line of other specialty products. While it’s not uncommon for a successful business to
expand and add more products, Grillo, driven by a passion from her own struggle with Lyme disease, decided to do just the opposite. “More and more people started contacting me about it,” she said of the bug repellent. “I’d never really promoted it. It was just one of my products,” she said. “Last summer, folks were tracking me down and knocking on

Dutcher: Americade 2016 was a success despite weather By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Several rain-filled days during Americade ’s six-day tenure last week didn’t dampen enthusiasm about the event, the motorcycle rally’s director said June 13. “Many motorcyclists attend for the full week regardless of the weather forecast,”
Christian Dutcher said. “And if it rains on a particular day, the bikers coming up for a short getaway just come up to Lake George the next day.” Americade’s new attractions for 2016 — a display of dozens of vintage motorcycles, and particularly the new DirtDaze offshoot rally — were quite popular and well received by rally attendees, he said.
Dutcher said the debut of DirtDaze was a remarkable success. This new event focused on “adventure biking,” which mixes off-road biking with asphalt-based riding. Featuring motorcycle contests, intensive day-long rider training, dual-sport rides, seminars, and cycle games, it was based at Painted Pony Ranch. Dutcher said it would most likely be repeated next year.
“The response to DirtDaze was so positive — riders attending were excited about it — many of them offered their ideas and suggestions to help us build it so it will really take off in upcoming years.” Held in a 70-foot tent at Fort William Henry Resort, the vintage motorcycle display featured a 1925 Henderson and a 1932 Indian Scout among a variety of rare and antique two-wheelers. Another highlight of Americade was the rally’s Support the Troops Cruise on Lake George, during
which military personnel and veterans were honored. The cruise started with each soldier being greeted by members of the Patriot Guard, an area motorcycle group. Dutcher said he was impressed by the camaraderie the veterans and soldiers exhibited during the excursion. “Although some vets don’t like to talk about their experiences, by the end of the cruise many of them were talking, laughing and bonding — and there were some tears shed too,” he said. Dutcher said Monday he
didn’t yet have an attendance tally for Americade’s 34th edition, but he was happy with the smiling faces he saw during the rally. “My job is like planning and putting on a huge party,” he said. “If everybody’s had a good time, you feel really good afterwards.” ABOVE: Thousands of motorcyclists converged on Lake George last week for the 34th annual Americade touring motorcycle rally.

Minerva vet park in works, names also needed By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
MINERVA — Construction has begun on the future veterans park in Minerva, with a tentative completion date next year. “It’s been a group effort,” said Minerva Supervisor Steve McNally of the collaboration with town officials, the Minerva Historical Society and the town’s Bicentennial Committee. “The ground work is almost complete,” he said, so heavy equipment will soon exit the property beside the town hall. Next pavers, benches and a monument recognizing every veteran from the town who served in any war will be in place. “We’re still collecting the names,” said Nancy Shaw. “We don’t want to miss anyone,” she said of the veterans. Shaw co-chairs the committee
with Anne Dunkley and their efforts have been ongoing for more than a year. “With the Bicentennial coming up, I knew we needed something,” said Shaw. St. Patrick’s Day 2017 will mark Minerva’s 200th anniversary. “Our town was founded by Irishmen,” said McNally, noting the date. The unveiling of the park will be a little later, however, once warmer weather returns to the Adirondacks. “It’s going to be big. We’re working on a lot of things,” said McNally, keeping some of the festivities under wraps for now. In the meantime, any veteran or family of a veteran may contact Shaw at 251-3069, Dunkley at 2512790 or veteran committee chair Rob Lee at 251-0182 to make sure the list of names is complete.

Craig Morgan visits Lake George fire house, distributes smoke alarms By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Peering through dark sunglasses, country music star Craig Morgan smiled as he looked at dozens of people gathered June 11 in the Lake George fire hall to greet him as they attended a firefighters’ open house. “This is amazing — Your volunteer fire company is one of the largest I’ve ever seen, and I’ve visited a lot of metro fire halls,” he said. “With all the volunteers you have in Lake George, this must be a great community.” Known for his string of hit country songs since 2002, Morgan was making an appearance at the Lake George fire hall to promote fire safety — about six hours before he would appear onstage in concert at the Americade motorcycle rally. His local visit included passing out as many as 250 premium $70 smoke detectors at no charge to area families — ones he paid for in a national promotion in collaboration with Kidde Fire Safety Products. “What many people don’t understand is when they have a house fire, they are not only putting themselves in danger, they’re putting firefighters lives’ in danger too — because these guys are not going to just stand outside, they’re gonna go into burning buildings and try to save people’s lives,” Morgan said. Morgan knows first-hand what dangers home fires can pose. In 2011, Morgan dashed into a burning , smoke-filled house in Dickson, Tenn. and rescued two young children. Minutes later, he manned a hose to help extinguish the blaze. Morgan had seen the fire as he was driving past the house, soon after returning from his ninth tour overseas to perform for U.S troops stationed abroad. Asked Saturday about what prompted him to take action, Morgan said many other first responders would have done the same thing. “There’s a special trait, I believe — there’s a particular gene all first responders share,
whether they’re in public service, law enforcement, firefighting, whatever,” he said. “They all share a sense of responsibility to their communities.” Morgan’s commitment to public service extends back into his young adulthood, when he volunteered at the age of 18 to be an emergency medical technician. Later, he served as a U.S. Army paratrooper and a sheriff ’s deputy — experience put to good use in that rescue in Dickson. Asked by a broadcast reporter whether he’d yet visited a “Redneck Yacht Club” in the area — a reference to one of his 17 hit songs — he laughed, noting this was the first time he’d visited Lake George or the Adirondacks. “I’m sure there’s a ton of redneck yacht clubs up here,” he responded with a grin. Morgan’s appearance at the Lake George Fire Department headquarters was the highlight of the organization’s open house, which included distributing fire safety materials and recruiting potential volunteers. During the event, Morgan signed autographs, talked with his fans, and posed for photographs. Lake George Fire Chief Jason Berry said he was impressed that Morgan visited the local fire hall. “This is almost overwhelming that he chose Lake George,” Berry said. “This has been an awesome opportunity to raise awareness about fire safety while bringing in new volunteers.” The visit was arranged in part by the International Association of Fire Chiefs and Warren County Emergency Services Coordinator Brian LaFlure. “It’s really great Craig is doing this,” LaFlure said.

Adirondack ‘Woof Stock’ returns this weekend By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
CHESTERTOWN — A two-day festival offering groovy activities for dogs and their human companions returns this weekend — and event organizers say this second annual edition of the event is likely to surpass its 2015 debut. “This year’s Woof Stock will provide the best day in your dog’s life,” festival founder Cindy Mead proclaimed this week. Titled “A Weekend of Peace, Paws & Music,” the festival is set for Saturday June 18 and Sunday June 19 on the field behind the town of Chester Municipal Center. Featuring music of the late 1960s as well as celebrating hippie culture, the festival has several new aspects for its second year. Last year, about 3,000 people and 1,000 dogs participated. Adirondack Woof Stock 2016 is to include competitive dog diving, canine Frisbee catching, a dog talent show, canine agility demonstrations and pet adoption opportunities. Last year’s top attraction, the Doggie Fun Zone — in which dogs chase lures through an obstacle course — will be returning for 2016, Mead said. “The Doggie Fun Zone is amazing — it’s like caffeine for dogs,” Mead said. “My chocolate lab Sadie was obsessed with it last year.
Normally she’s timid, but she broke her leash trying to get back into the pen to chase the speeding lure.” New this year at Woof Stock is a gathering of people and pets Saturday evening at The Hub Cafe & Bar beside Brant Lake’s Mill Pond. This event will include not only the remarkable scenery, but music of two bands — Barrelhouse Brothers and Headwall — playing 1960s hits. The concerts are to be accompanied by a laser light show, and the crowd is likely to be tossing glow-in-the dark beach balls skyward as the bands play. The evening is certain to be imbued with the ambiance of The Hub, the area’s social axis of alternative culture. “It’s going to be a scene — something out of this world — we’re really excited about it,” The Hub proprietor Drew Cappabianca said. Also new this year, Woof Stock has an early start on Friday night with four restaurants/ bars participating in the Paws & Pubs attraction. All four venues will likely have tents set
up to accommodate pets and their human counterparts. Attendees dressed in hippie garb will earn drink specials. Paws & Pets will be occurring at O.P. F r e d e r i c k ’s at Loon Lake from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., at The Bullhouse in Chestertown from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., at The Odd Duck from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., and at the Panther Mountain Pub from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.. Saturday and Sunday at the main venue behind the Chester Municipal Center, there will be music of the 1960s all day, both Saturday and Sunday. Vendors will be offering dogrelated wares, festival food, tie-dyed items. Law enforcement patrol dogs and their trainers will be making their appearances as well. Also featured are a veterinary clinic, a dog groomer, purveyors of invisible fence, authors signing editions of their dog-related books, dog trainers offering tips, plus doglocator chip implant technicians. The fest also features a “dog whisperer” ad-
vising people on how to communicate with their pets. “Blessing of the Animals” is to be held at noon, 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday and 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The “My Dog Has Talent” show is to be held at 1 p.m. both days. Adirondack Woof Stock is sponsored by the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance, as well as the towns of Horicon and Chester, as well as several enterprises. For information, contact Cindy Mead at 321-0076 or via email at: cmead3@nycap. rr.com. Mead predicted that the 1016 edition of Woof Stock would attract a substantial crowd, particularly because it offers a fun way for families to celebrate Father’s Day. “Last year, we had nothing but positive reviews — dogs had so much fun — and I’m hoping that all of last year’s 3,000 people return with their friends,” she said. “And the forecast calls for the beautiful weather.” A dog plunges into the water during a diving event held at last year’s Woof Stock festival in Chestertown. Featuring an expanded array of dog-friendly attractions and events, Woof Stock 2016 is set for this weekend in Chestertown. New this year is an open-air concert and get-together of dogs and their owners on Saturday evening at The Hub cafe and bar on the Mill Pond in Brant Lake. Photo provided

A time for unity
t’s Sunday afternoon and once again we are shocked at the senseless death of 49 people and another 53 seriously injured who were going about their lives in Orlando when a lone terrorist, who had pledged his allegiance to ISIS, opened fire. As more facts and details come to light there will be plenty of time for finger pointing and blame, but for now our thoughts and prayers need to be with those who lost their lives, those injured in the attack and their families. Like so many of these events whether it be homegrown terror, deranged individuals, or foreign countries who have declared war on our country these are times when we need to come together and not tear ourselves apart over political differences. We can’t be so divided that we over look our most common of interests, keeping the country and her citizens safe, especially here in our homeland. Our security personnel have an extremely difficult job, made even more difficult by the open society we all enjoy in this country, but all too often take for granted. Early indications are the gunman had been looked at twice in recent years by the FBI for terrorist threats, but lacked sufficient evidence to pursue any charges. Our fair judicial system restricts us from locking up folks who speak of hate toward others yet when the dust settles we will need to seek solutions that help the authorities deal with radical influences that drive individuals to take such heinous actions. There is an estimated 15,000 individuals in the country today that have communicated, in one way or another, with ISIS. In the coming days and weeks this event will be a hot topic in the presidential campaigns and I fear our political climate will disrespect those who lost their lives by using the event to drive an agenda instead of seeking solutions on a more united front. It’s clear that no country is immune from this form of warfare which seeks to kill the helpless non-combatants and terrorize the masses with brutal, unthinkable actions. Military might and powerful weapons are no match for sole gunmen who strike without notice and place no value on their own survival. Internal infighting and fear is their only goal and we must not allow them to gain this advantage by playing into their hands. The country and the world must be united to defeat this plague.

A sports season to remember T
his has been a season to remember for many athletes in the land of Section VII. Coming off the final weekend of the 2015-16 academic sports year, the section brought home its fourth state championship as the quartet of Nathan Handy, Matt Villa, Loudon Frechette and Daryn Nephew took the gold in the Division II NYSPHSAA track and field 4-by-100 relay for the Beekmantown Eagles. Along with their success, Seton Catholic’s prolific distance runner and future University of New Hampshire athlete Margaret Champagne claimed two medals at the championships. With track, the Ticonderoga Lady Sentinel varsity softball team reached the NYSPHSAA Final Four for the first time, falling to Notre Dame of Elmira amidst the rain drops and weather delays in Fort Edward. That’s not all. In the past season, as you will see in the story on our sports pages this week, Section VII has claimed four state championships, has placed three more teams in the championship game and has had five more teams reach the state round of play (semifinals). That is a total of 12 teams who competed admirably at the state level, a huge accomplishment for one of the smallest sections in the state. The credit, first and foremost, goes to the players. They have been able to train, work and sacrifice to get onto the state stage. It is something that is extremely rare and everyone should be proud of their accomplishments. Along with the players are the parents, who get to see their child’s excitement as they realize goals and made memories that will last a lifetime. These are the ones who drove them to and from little league and biddy games when they were young, rearranged work schedules and other tasks to provide rides to preseason practices and to be on the sidelines for their games from modified to junior varsity and then varsity. They travel when their children make the state level and are the first their with either a huge of congratulations of consolation. We also have the coaches who dedicate their time to teach the sport and do everything they can to help their teams and players excel. They do it regardless of accolades, and, too often, at scorn of parents who think Tommy didn’t get enough time or those who second guess them. In the end, what they do is
important in the lives of these children, with many life lessons being taught on the field and courts. Then, there are the fans. Several times, we have written about fans and some of the concerns we see on the sideline. This year, those concerns seem to temper, somewhat, to the point where we can say this was one of the better years for fan behavior we have seen in the league. Don’t get us wrong: There is still a long way to go, and a successful season often tempers the sometimes venomous contempt that can come from the stands, but any level of improvement is a step in the right direction. We hope everyone has involved the coverage of Section VII sports this season in the pages of The Sun. We also brought home a championship, of sorts, as the picture of the PHS boys soccer team after winning the Class B semifinal game taken by Jill Lobdell took home a third place award at the national FCPNY convention. With all the success there has been this season, we can’t wait to see what will happen as the calendar makes its way towards the fall sports season. There are already numerous story lines: Can the Chazy boys varsity soccer team reclaim their spot atop Class D, or are we seeing the start of a new dynasty in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Westport Griffins? Will control shift in the annual football rivalry games between Class B’s Beekmantown and Peru along with Class D’s Moriah and Ticonderoga. Can the Sentinels return to state glory? Speaking of Moriah, will they stay atop the Class D mountain without Adam Jaquish and Taylor Slattery, and can returning starters Dylan Trombley and Joe Stahl (who will look to repeat as Section VII golf champion in the spring) lead the Vikings back to the Civic Ce — oops, I mean — to Binghamton? These, and many more questions, will all be answered in 2016-17. We will be watching it all.

GoodspeedÊ wasÊ aÊ strongÊ advocate To the Editor: Recently the clients of the North Country Food Pantry of North Creek lost a strong advocate in the forced retirement of 25-plus year volunteer Evelyn Goodspeed. The reason the directors gave: Evie was negative and disruptive. Let me give you some examples of her negativity and disruptiveness. She objected to the following: 1. She questioned the excessive stockpiling of food that could be used by the clients instead of saving it for a calamity which has never happened. 2. The waste of case after case of perishable foods including the recent waste of three
A
3.
4.
cases of cheese left in the coolers until the “use by” date had expired. Most perishable foods have short expiration dates. The disrespect of some clients by some, but not all, of the volunteers. Some examples include saying that certain clients “stunk,” by calling certain Christian missionaries “beggars looking for a handout,” and screaming across the pantry at certain clients “you’re taking too much soup,” when in actuality they were picking up for two families. This last incident was reported to both regional and local boards of directors by the people affected. While I was a volunteer (four years) there were numerous occasions of full cases of canned goods disappearing. Were those reported to the board?
5.
Here is one last example although there are many more that could be mentioned. Several years ago, at Thanksgiving time, several clients asked for cranberry sauce. They were told “no,” that what was there was for the Christmas boxes. Evie checked in the storeroom and found 13 cases, more than enough for both holidays. She went over the director’s head and got the extra cases released for, as she would say, “Her People.” When asked if she wanted a retirement party, Evie said no, she didn’t want to be rewarded for doing what she thought was right. Now isn’t that just the epitome of negative and disruptive? Thanks Evie, for more than 25 years of caring for “Your People.” Don Goodspeed North Creek
ENDORSEMENT POLICY

All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or
a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the endorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate.

The lodge at Boreas Ponds: A historical perspective Kent Gregson> Stonemason from Indian Lake, NY kgregson@ymail.com
I
read your editorial “Lodge at Boreas Ponds Should Stay or be relocated to Serve as Visitor’s Center.” I am the stonemason who built the fireplace. Indeed this “gorgeous facility” would make a great visitors area for the Boreas Ponds. The “L” shaped building goes 75-feet in one direction and around 80-feet in the other. The large space is multi-functional and could serve in many ways. The lodge is seven miles or so from pavement on roads that were built and maintained for heavy truck use by Finch Pruyn, some of the best dirt roads in the Adirondacks. As you say, the lodge is handicap accessible but what about the able bodied visitor? This is a remote area with many recreational opportunities, some more dangerous than others, but none without risk. Emergency access for this area costs time, lots of it. There’s road access to the south and west, but the terrain gets vertical and rough. There are the trails to the high peaks which attract lots of hikers. Increasing public land and access in remote areas will result in more accidents, injuries and evacuation scenarios statistically. The lodge would be a good center of operations and communications in these situations. On the other hand, relocating the building is unfeasable. There are 20 tons of Corinthian Granite (from Champlain Valley Stone) in the fireplace. If someone did manage to replicate it, I suppose I’d be flattered, but at what expense? Far cheaper, easier and probably better looking would be to build new.
The logs are fastened together with foot long cabin spikes and have cured for many years. They’d never go back together as neatly and cleanly again. Better to build new. Relocation misses another point. This building site is magnificent by itself and the building is made for it. A wide flat promontory in spectacular country. The view from the porch is so awe inspiring that I made a bench in the back of the fireplace to see the view from the porch. While I was building, Finch Pruyn C.E.O. Dick Carota came by “whenever he was in the neighborhood,” could be several times a week. It was a favorite project. The crew who built it were Finch Pruyn employees from Newcomb. A good bunch of guys who took pride in their work. On the Santanoni Citizen’s Advisory Committee I saw how my preservationist friends want to remove any trace of man’s presence in the Adirondacks. I can see their point, and I may be wrong, but I don’t see it that way. I know that these concerned people see others coming to the mountains to recreate, litter, pollute and tear up the thin soils and fragile habitats. That’s the reason I call them all friends (besides the ones I know personally), I appreciate their efforts in these matters. I was born in Chestertown on a “tree farm” and raised on venison, rabbit and trout. I have a different perspective on wilderness. To me wilderness is synonymous with home. I don’t separate myself from nature. I feel a part of it. The buildings and facilities at Santanoni were also scheduled for demolition. The discussion was long, some of the buildings were lost, but now some of the buildings are being saved. So, it’s not impossible that this lodge on over 20,000 acres could be repurposed. Not that it will, but it’s possible. Kent Gregson is a stonemason from Indian Lake, NY who built the massive stone fireplace in the main lodge at Boreas Ponds.

Trump did not send the 16 candidates packing due to insults, but by exposing their positions on the issues effecting the lives of hardworking Americans, immigration ridiculous and possibly criminal application of the federal government’s obligation on this issue and the 16 positions the various Republicans had taken: Sanctuary cities and the use of working Americans tax dollars to support them! Right to bear and own arms within the USA; Trade, America First, yes, Trump is right on target again! Work, not welfare, for ablebodied men and women. Need I review every one of his policies? I don’t think so! If you like using negative terms in your political editorials, try discussing the realization that Hillary should go to jail, not the White House. Try looking into possible acts of treason by the sitting president against the USA and how and when he should be investigated, tried and sentenced, and is the country strong enough to apply proper justice for treason? Vote Trump. Bert Windle Putnam Station
BoardÊ needsÊ toÊ beÊ heldÊ accountable To the Editor: Thank you for this opportunity to notify the residents of Athol and Thurman. Some improprieties that our town board is currently passing under our noses, and I will bet they are hoping no one questions them. 1.) Denying residents the right to speak; 2.) Refusing to inform our residents about important issues (we all have a right to know); 3.) Conducting private meetings and or “executive sessions” without notifying the public; 4.) Some “executive sessions” are illegal and should be during open meetings; 5.) Some board members are not included and even having information kept from them; 6.) I have had people tell me they were afraid to come to board meetings because they fear repercussions; 7.) I have also heard that the video recordings of the board meetings posted online, are doctored and some things taken out so the public will not see them. 8.) During public meetings, the public is not able to participate. I have seen where if the public could assist and give some input, the town might benefit from a better outcome. (I am not trying to criticize the board on this one; I am just saying if we were able to work together, things could be better.) I keep going to board meetings: I watch, I listen, I keep shaking my head in disbelief. All I can say is amazing simply amazing. The town supervisor and town board members are answerable to all of the residents of Athol and Thurman. Let’s make them accountable. Please do not take my word for it: Get involved and come to the board meetings see for yourself! Keith L. Parent Sr. Athol /Thurman
OregonÊ trainÊ derailmentÊ aÊ reminderÊ of Ê oilÊ tankerÊ risks To the Editor: The recent oil train derailment in Mosier, OR, should be an additional wake-up call for folks in the Champlain Valley who also host the movement of crude by rail through their communities. Some of the parallels with our area are especially striking - passage through small towns, the likelihood that an accident would overwhelm the capabilities of local emergency personnel and, of course, the proximity to a scenic wonder (our Lake Champlain, the Columbia River Gorge in the Oregon case). Mosier “dodged the bullet,” and was not obliterated by a fire storm like Lac-Mégantic, but this was a matter of sheer luck. If one thinks that such accidents can be prevented through improved preparedness, see the remarks from the Union Pacific spokesperson at youtube.com/ watch?v=DwreSO4UHIU#incart_maj-story-1. She calls attention to recent track inspections using the latest technologies, and to the fact that the tank cars were upgraded models meeting a higher “1232” safety standard. Still, the untoward occurred. The risks associated with the movement of crude by rail clearly warrant much higher priority from federal, state, and local authorities, all of whom have responsibilities in this matter. Richard P. Suttmeier Keene Valley
WhoÊ areÊ youÊ supposedÊ toÊ represent,Ê SenatorÊ Gillibrand? To the Editor: Oil trains have been a hot topic now for several years. I live on Willsboro Bay and hear and see them go by all the time. Why is this oil going by rail? Because there are not enough pipe lines to transport it, pretty simple, every gallon going through a pipe line is a gallon not going by rail. Now I can understand a senator from a state where the pipe line runs through voting against it, but my senator who should know the hazards that the trains pose to Lake Champlain and the Hudson River voted against it! Senator Gillibrand, I thought you represented us, not President Obama! Bradley Paye Willsboro
WildernessÊ preservationÊ needÊ notÊ equateÊ toÊ populationÊ extinction To the Editor: The article in your June 11 issue, “Review board skeptical over study,” once again highlights a fundamental cleavage in the North County between the environment and the economy. Enormous amounts of money have been raised from wealthy donors to protect the wilderness, while, to the best of my knowledge, much, much less has been raised, let alone spent, to create economic opportunity for area residents. I am not a tree hugger, nor a tree mugger, but having been a summer resident here for over 35 years, I have watched the slow decline of opportunity and the aging of a year-round population. For the author of the study to suggest that rising property values are synonymous with economic advancement is simply untrue, and perhaps cruel for long-time residents who can no longer afford to live here. Wilderness preservation need not take place at the expense of population extinction. Jeff Moredock Essex
Little Bits Fried bread dough Gordie Little
Columnist
F
ried bread dough. Does the mere thought titillate your taste buds? Mine are bouncing like an NBA dribble. I haven’t had any lately, so I’m long overdue. I wrote this last Sunday as the 50th Cadyville Firemen’s Parade and Field Day was getting underway. It was cool and windy, but warm hearts and enthusiasm prevailed and a great time was had by all. I have no clue if they served fried bread dough, but I’ll wager there was clam chowder. I recall in the olden days it was magically prepared by the late “Jug Head” Devan and by my friend “Goose” Sorrel. Only a few can make it that delicious. On the other hand, fried bread dough is simple to make. However, it always tastes better a firemen’s field day, church bazaar, county fair or carnival. And it has never tasted better than when it is dripping with real North Country maple syrup. Like others of you (some will actually admit it), I spend too much time on my favorite social medium, usually before sunrise every day. It begins with my posting of the temperature and sky conditions outside our Morrisonville house on the Saranac River. Like reading this fine newspaper from cover to cover each week, it puts me in touch with the pulse of the community. It also gives me lots of ideas for this column. Case in point was a recent discussion of fried bread dough. The writer is obviously a person of good taste. They prefer their fried bread dough with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar. My mouth is watering. Question of the day was, “What did you call it growing up.” Some listed “dough gods or gobs;” Others remembered “fee fees;” others called them “knots or knoots.” Those of French Canadian extraction remembered variations on the theme. One that also sticks in my mind from north of the border is “beaver tails.” I have seen them referred to as “Johnny Joes” as well. I wish my childhood recollections could add to that list, but, in my house, it was simply “fried bread dough.” Kaye doesn’t remember her mother ever serving it back in the day, but she herself made lots of it for our family. Mostly, it started life as the prepared bread or pizza dough you can buy in almost any grocery store. I scoured the Internet and saw such localized names as “doughboys,” “fry bread,” “flying saucers,” “scones,” ‘elephant ears” and many others. I have eaten something different but similar called “beignets” in New Orleans. Other regions of this country and many other places have their own variations. Besides deepfrying the dough, many kinds of toppings are favored. I’ll stick with real maple syrup or powdered sugar. I have spoken with friends who will top their fried bread dough with nothing but honey. Whatever floats your boat. Pass the syrup, please.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TaxÊ increase,Ê ailingÊ economyÊ createÊ conditionsÊ ripeÊ forÊ PortÊ HenryÊ dissolution To the Editor: I’m writing in support of the dissolution plan that was presented to the villagers of Port Henry. Having grown up in Port Henry in the 50s and 60s, I know what the village was like then, with thriving businesses filling all of the downtown storefronts and viable employment driven by good jobs in the mill and mines. Since those days, employment here has been difficult. Each year has brought more decline to the village and area. I and several others have worked to open new small businesses to help reverse some of this decline, but it is clear to me that it will take more than these efforts to bring significant change to our area. We now have an opportunity to join forces with the town of Moriah, which will provide tax relief for village taxpayers, and join the services now provided by both the town and village. More importantly, joining forces now will mean the village will realize the benefits that will come with the soon-to-come hydro plant as it is being built and operated in Mineville. The village can not continue to sustain a separate government for what are about 1,200 citizens, as evidenced by the 10 percent tax increase this year for services provided. Joining with the town will result in a still small entity of about 5,000 citizens, which is still a comfortable number for giving everyone access to elected officials. Let’s do this now instead of waiting for an alternative plan to be developed. We need positive change now! Sue McHone Port Henry
WillsboroÊ MemorialÊ DayÊ aÊ success To the Editor: American Legion WM Nolan Post 405 wishes to thank all the participants in this year’s Memorial Day remembrance of those who have gone before us in defense of our nation. Missing from our procession was 60-year-plus Legion Member Kenneth Coonrod, who passed on this April. This year, we were honored by the presence of World War II veterans Bill Thompson and John Carver and Korean warfighter Milton Baker. Our honored vets were driven on parade route to the monuments by Essex County Sheriff ’s Department Humvee. Also in the line to march were Willsboro Girl Scouts and the Plattsburgh Police Pipe and Drums and Scottish flag marchers. These units were led by American Legion Post 405 Honor Guard and Firing Squad, followed by bugler Levi Sayward. Waiting at the monument were many veterans as well as active personnel, many in full dress uniforms, including former resident and Navy veteran Fred Morgan and his family, who were visiting from American Samoa. The emcee for this event was Charles Lustig, Post 405 Chaplain. The Invocation and Benediction was given by Father Francis Flynn. Our guest speakers were retired Navy Captain Robert Mason and Rep. Elise Stefanik. A flyover was provided by two F-16 Fighting Falcons from the Vermont Air National Guard 158th Fighter Wing, Burlington, VT, flown by Major Robert Peel and Captain Dan Wabinga, who brought the sound of freedom into full focus for us all. Pipe and drum numbers, speeches and the raising of the Stars and Stripes were followed by the solemn realization that we, as a nation, will come together in future years to mourn the loss of additional souls and struggle to maintain the freedom and existence of the United States of America — even as we remember those in the long military ranks who came before us. Final words to our fallen were followed by firing squad and the playing of TAPS. Recognition must be given to those whose planning, contacts and perseverance make this yearly event possible: Town Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, Highway Department Supervisor Travis Crowningshield and crew to make the town presentable; Willsboro Fire Police road guards, Willsboro Ambulance Service, Willsboro Beautification Committee, Robin Belzile and Hometown Hero Banners, members of Legion Post 405 and military volunteers who give up a holiday to provide full remembrance services at local cemeteries. Last, but assuredly not least, thank you to those Americans who come from near and far to stand in tribute to those who have passed, honoring friends, comrades, family and complete strangers who have given the “last full measure of devotion” for their nation and it’s people. We hope to see you all next year. Thank you for your attendance. Lloyd Brockney, Commander American Legion Post 405 Willsboro
CanÊ weÊ learnÊ fromÊ theÊ past? To the Editor: Thanks to the educational Voice of America and the BBC we had in Europe during WWII. We learned from them to fight the Nazis without arms, but mainly body language. Just for fun, take the present winner of the presidential debates. His face tells me he’s like Hitler, his hands and body movements are like Mussolini. Both were dictators and suffered a great measure of devoid of moral compassion, a huge amount of narcissism and hate. So may I remind our kind readers, who lost the war and who won? God bless our country and our allies. Suzanne LaRocque North Creek
ECHÊ staff Ê amazingÊ duringÊ recovery To the Editor: As I continue my recovery from joint replacement surgery and return to work, I would like to comment on my experiences during inpatient rehabilitation at the UVM Health Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital. I did not choose ECH because I am a member of the allied medical staff (I suspect that made me more of a challenge), but on the recommendation of others, including my spouse. From the moment I arrived at the door, after an ill-advised front seat car-ride, I was cared for proactively for dietary items in keeping with my special needs. My medical care was ably coordinated by Mary Halloran, M.D. The hospital pharmacy was available for consultation. The nursing staff - RNs, LPNs and aides
alike - conducted themselves with skill and empathy. My physical therapist, Mark Hummel, saw me seven days weekly and continue to provide outpatient care, ably assisted by Sara Irving, PTA on occasion. Extensive reconstruction of the unit is now complete which should make rehabilitation impatient stays an even more positive experience, although I have no intention of checking that out for myself! I would be remiss if I did not mention my fine primary surgeon, Eugene Byrne, M.D., his colleagues William Smith, M.D. and Andrew Friebel, PA-C, along with the fine staff at Lake Placid Sports Medicine. Thanks to one and all. Jae Lyn Burke Wilmington
SupportÊ theÊ sixthÊ gradeÊ exhibit To the Editor: Did you experience the art show at Westport Central School last month? The exhibits were all special but what awed me the most was the work of Zoe Brugger’s sixth grade. Elizabeth Lee, an Adirondack guide, Paul Mudie, retired industrial arts teacher, and art teacher Kim Matthews along with the 6th grade captured the beauty of the Adirondacks. The show was spectacular. I understand much of the work will be on display at the Dogwood Bakery, Wadhams this summer. Give yourself a special treat — view the display. Claire Kroeplin Westport
WhereÊ doÊ ourÊ taxÊ dollarsÊ go? To the Editor: So, are your tax dollars spent on matters important to you? Do we actually know where the money goes and why? Jean-Baptiste Colbert, finance minister for Louis XIV of France, said, “the art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing.” Perhaps it’s time to start hissing and Tax Cap the Cuomo. An official from Albany recently addressed the Essex County Board of Supervisors to explain the 2016 NYS budget. One budgeted item is a $100 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative, or DRI. It’s one of Gov. Cuomo’s social engineering gambits toward the re-urbanization of America, otherwise known as smart growth, or sustainability, or complete streets, or active living, or Hamlets 3, or Agenda 21, or the Capital Region Sustainability Plan, or Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (HUD.) I’m not making this up, Google it and connect the dots, especially the HUD thing. The activist planners keep mixing the names, but the objectives are to create social, economic, and environmental change by regulating your property and your lives. They wish to create community centers in which the majority will eventually live and work, be it hamlet or city. Walking and bicycling will be a primary mode of transportation. The new compact and well defined downtown’s will include housing at different levels of affordability and type, rich and poor happy together. They accomplish this thru Comprehensive Planning, plus establishing regional economic development and planning councils who know what’s best for us. The regional councils eliminate your local Home Rule Authority. Andy Cuomo is taking 100 million of your tax dollars to create ten of these utopias where all can live together in a compact diverse community, in compact apartments, near transportation hubs so you won’t be needing cars anymore and the evil rural/suburban housing sprawl will cease. It all just makes me want to go to a hilltop and drink a coke and sing for world peace. Re-urbanization has started in NYC, compliments of mayor Bill DeBlasio. I doubt if Andy and Bill will set the example for us by buying bicycles and moving to the utopian transportation hub. Utopia is intended for the cattle, not the intellectual trail bosses. Interestingly, the unintended consequence of the DRI style experiments in Portland, OR., and Seattle resulted in poor inner-city cattle having to leave because they couldn’t afford utopia. The liberal trail bosses feel bad about it, but the re-urbanization cattle drive continues. Round-em-up, move-em-out. Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown
SpecialÊ OlympicÊ TorchÊ RunÊ successful To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to everyone who made the NYS Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics NY such a success this year. Last year, we suggested running through our town instead of traveling to another town in Essex County to show our support. This turned out to be successful, so we decided to make this our tradition. Nothing gives me more pleasure then to see smiles on beautiful faces. With that being said, there is no job too big or tasking for that result. The honor running next to two local athletes, Dakotah and Todd, not only brings this smile to my face but also my heart. You will never be able to buy the happiness that I saw on Wednesday, May 25, in the Town of Moriah and I am proud to be a part of this. Moriah Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility staff and Moriah Central School faculty raised over $1,200 to benefit Special Olympics NY. Thank you Superintendent Tynon and Captain Rawson for allowing Moriah Shock staff to participate, for supporting me in my decisions and contributing to the success of this event; Erin McCartan, Associate Director of Development, for including us once again; Superintendent B. Larrow from Moriah Central School for allowing your staff and more importantly your students to participate; Elizabeth Rutkowski from Mountain Lake Services, who welcomes us at the Helen F. McDonald center; Fleury’s Grocery and Deli for refreshments and Deputy Rice from the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department for keeping us safe while we were running. To all the staff at Moriah Shock, civilians and security, who made this year’s run a success. Not everyone who contributed was a runner and this does not go unnoticed. For those of you who came in on your day off, our mess hall staff who provided refreshments and snacks, our one woman camera crew, our drivers, I thank you with my entire heart! Saving the best for last, a BIG thank you to Becky Cutting for allowing your two young men to join us in a portion of our run. Every time we spoke, the anticipation for this day became more exciting. When it finally arrived I was more emotional than my face could show. It gives me great pleasure to represent Moriah Shock ICF in this capacity and to recognize two local athletes. I can’t express how grateful that I am for all the support that we received, smiles that were seen, cheers we heard and tears that were shed. Christina E. Slattery Office Assistant 2

Stamina key to traversing huge district, says Stefanik Lawmaker, opponents discuss strategies for navigating massive district By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — It’s tough being a politician. But navigating the North Country’s lone congressional district can present its own set of severe challenges. The 21st Congressional District, which constitutes about 30 percent of the state’s land mass, sprawls 12 counties over 16,000 square miles, from the agricultural flatlands that hug the Canadian border in Clinton County to the rolling farmlands of northern Herkimer County, just a short drive from Utica. In fact, at a size largest than most northeastern states — the district is three times the size of Connecticut — touching down for a campaign stump is more like a full-fledged road trip than a quick meeting with constituents. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has been hitting the pavement in earnest this spring, returning to the district nearly every weekend from Washington, D.C. to squeeze in spate of events, from factory tours, public forums to rubber-chicken dinners on the awards circuit. And then it’s back to D.C., where she’s been the co-sponsor of a flood of legislative bills. How does she keep up her energy levels? “I think it’s stamina at this point,” said Stefanik. The freshman lawmaker, who once referred to herself as the Energizer Bunny, said she tries to start each morning with a cup of coffee, which is supplemented with lots of water throughout the day. Stefanik said she’s also trying to find more time to exercise. “At night, I calm myself down by reading,” Stefanik said. The lawmaker, deft with social media, said an Instagram book club provides a steady list of reading recommendations. Stefanik just wrapped up “American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers,” the new book by the journalist Nancy Jo Sales that examines the effects that social media is having on American girls. “I like history, I like non-fiction, I like biographies — I have an eclectic reading list,” Stefanik said. Democratic candidate Mike Derrick is challenging Stefanik for the seat. Derrick, of Peru, said he drives an average of 90 miles each day. Most nights are spent away from home. “This is life on fast-forward,” Derrick said. “What keeps my body going is maintained discipline of my diet and rest,” said Derrick, a retired army colonel. While he starts the day with exercise, what really keeps his spirits going, the candidate said, is “meeting thousands of people around the district who share their hopes and fears.” “I’ve been traveling everywhere, listening to voters in their living rooms and learning what issues are most important to them,” Derrick wrote in an email. “Gaining their confidence is a privilege and
makes all of this worthwhile. Nothing beats the feeling of having someone I just met thank me for running and then saying that I have earned their vote.” Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello owns Rock Hill Bakehouse, a bakery and cafe in downtown Glens Falls. To prepare for the campaign, Funiciello has pivoted from a production to a management role, putting in between 40 and 50 hours per week. As such, he’s not on the road as much as Stefanik and Derrick. Since declaring his candidacy in March, his second attempt at winning the seat, the candidate has conducted just 12 official campaign events. Nearly 20 more are planned for the next 30 days. But what Funiciello lacks in road miles he makes up for in a prolific social media presence, including daily direct engagement with

voters on Facebook and a series of campaign videos. Funiciello noted he’s beating Derrick 2-to-1 on Facebook likes. “We’re not paying for that, and that feels really good,” Funiciello said. “I’m being honest and principled for what I think and I believe, and discussing the agenda my party has been working for three decades to articulate.” Like his opponents, Funiciello said he draws upon both the spiritual and physical realms for stamina. “I have an unnatural, or exceptional desire, to see my social class represented in Washington, D.C..” the candidate said. Funiciello became a vegan last August. Doing so has increased his energy levels, he said. Among his inspiration was “Forks Over Knives,” the book (and later documentary) that argues a plantbased diet can reverse chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity and cancer. Exercise also helps to alleviate a pinched nerve the candidate recently suffered. “I try to take a bike ride when I have time,” he added. Funiciello hailed presumptive Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and Howie Hawkins, a former gubernatorial candidate, for their energy — “They are me on steroids” — and also praised Stefanik: “Her work ethic is excellent,” Funiciello said. “She does work hard as a person.” But he couldn’t resist taking a shot at both: “The corporate party campaigns are pretty much going along collecting money,” he said, referring to fundraising efforts. “I don’t really feel like they’re doing much beyond that.”

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein visits By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
GLENS FALLS — The national Green Party’s presumptive U.S. Presidential candidate Jill Stein slammed both the Republican and Democratic parties and their candidates during an appearance June 9 at two fundraisers held in Glens Falls on her behalf. The rallies, held at Rock Hill Cafe and the Gold Shade Restaurant, were well attended. In detailing her platform, Stein called for a substantial boost to the minimum wage, establishing a government-run health care system to cover all citizens, eliminating most all use of fossil fuels in the U.S. by 2030, and reducing U.S. military involvement around the world. She urged attendees — most of them in support of her party’s objectives, to not listen to warnings that a vote for her might help elect Donald Trump. “This is a transformational moment when we desperately need change,” she said. “We’re at the breaking point right now, and it’s up to us to bring about the promise of democracy.” She said people should not be scared into voting for Hillary Clinton because of fearing Donald Trump’s pledges to boost militarism, to ban Muslim immigration to the U.S. and his calls for other nation to build their own nuclear arsenals. She said while Trump represents a “neo-fascist right-wing movement,” Clinton’s beliefs and actions drmonstrated she was an equally poor choice to lead the nation. “Although Trump says these terrible, reprehensible things, Hillary has been doing them,” she said, mentioning the recent Democratic administrations’ immigration and energy policies, support for fracking and construction of oil and gas lines, and engineering a bailout of Wall Street. “This is the legacy of choosing the lesser evil,” she added. Stein said that although Green Party can-
didates in past elections had garnered only a few percentage points of the vote, the political landscape was changing as principles of the Green Party were being espoused by a younger generation. She said that her proposal to cancel all student debt if elected — could steer 43 million votes her way, while unshackling an entire generation from an unjust financial burden, as well as providing a dramatic economic stimulus. “An entire generation, put through the wringer by a predatory economy, should be liberated from their indentured servitude,” she said. Also, she said if elected she would establish a “Green New Deal” that would provide 20 million jobs to convert to renewable energy, create new ecological methods of transportation and avoid an impending climate catastrophe. She also said she’d take action to break up big banks, and institute a sales tax on Wall Street transactions. Also, Stein said that the U.S.’s military intervention in the middle east over the past two decades had bred wars, and prompted one wave of terrorism after another. She said the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq had cost the U.S. taxpayers a total of $6 trillion, or $75,000 per U.S. household, while killing a massive number of citizens and soldiers, and wounding many, many others. “And what has this paid for? Mass refugee migrations tearing apart the Middle East and Europe, it’s created the existing Human Rights catatrophe — and the terrorist threat that gets worse with every cycle of violence,” she said, blaming a late 1990s collusion between the Central Intelligence agency and Saudi leaders. “On one hand, the U.S. is arming, funding and training (insurgents) in the Mideast, and on the other side, it’s fighting terrorists, she said, blaming wealthy “profiteers” for the costly and destructive wars being waged.
But Stein said she had hope for the future. She said that Matt Funiciello’s ability to garner 11 percent of the vote in the 2014 21st Congressional District election was a sign that the tide was turning in favor of the Green Party. She said voters are increasingly casting ballots for principles they believe in rather than the candidate they think will be less harmful to the nation. “People are now throwing off the chains of fear,” she said. “We’ve been intimidated by people telling us we need to vote for the lesser evil, but the politics of fear have delivered everything we’ve been afraid of.” She said that the transformational changes our society needs can’t be accomplished within the Democratic or Republican parties, because of their allegiances to the wealthy and entrenched special interests. “Democratic Party leaders fake left and then go right,” she said, noting that the party’s progressive candidates since the 1970s —Howard Dean, Dennis Kusinich, Jesse Jackson and others — had been “sabotaged” by their party officials. She praised Bernie Sanders’ candidacy, which she said generated the widespread belief that comprehensive changes in our society were indeed as possible, and inspired millions of young people to vote their according to their conscience. “We very excited coming into this race, lifting up this wave and giving it a voice,” she said. “There’s a political tsunami coming, and
his movement needs to be outside the Democratic Party where it cannot be destroyed.” ABOVE: A Hudson Falls High School student hugs Green Party U.S. Presidential candidate Jill Stein before the presidential hopeful outlined her objectives to people gathered at Rock Hill Bakehouse in Glens Falls for a fundraiser.

Agreement reached on statewide measures to combat opiate crisis Blueprint to combat epidemic comes at tail-end of legislative session By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
Alcoholism and Substance Abuse-approved treatment centers into a “new flexible model” that allows for both short- and long-term stays and treatment. The reforms will also boost access to medication-assisted treatment in underserved areas by lifting a OASAS-set cap that governs intake capacity at residential and inpatient programs. And to reduce the risk of death once an addict is discharged from an emergency room following an overdose, the reforms include a smoother transition process into potential treatment programs. Following testimonials that managed
health care plans often fail to adequately cover the full costs for rehab programs, the legislation now prohibits insurers from requiring prior approval for emergency supplies of these medications. Objective, state-approved criteria to determine insurance coverage for necessary inpatient treatment would also be implemented, a first-of-its-kind requirement that makes New York a model for the rest of the nation. The drug epidemic, now the leading cause of preventable death in the country, is widely attributed to the widespread availability of prescription painkillers. Once addicted, patients later turn to heroin as a cheaper alter-

ALBANY — The state announced on Tuesday an agreement has been reached on a series of reforms designed to combat heroin and opiate abuse. Major reforms approved by the state legislature in the $189 million package include increasing treatment beds, limiting the length for which opiate-based medications can be prescribed and ending prior insurance authorization, a measure that will now allow for immediate inpatient treatment. The deal comes just weeks after an executive task force, co-chaired by Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul, convened eight panel discussions across the state. A report containing 25 recommendations was delivered late last week. The recommendations cover a wide swath of the epidemic and echo the refrain that curbing drug abuse requires more than a law enforcement approach, but rather a fourpronged strategy that also addresses prevention, treatment and recovery. Experts had testified that barriers to treatment remain an issue. According to the report, upstate New York has seen an 222 percent increase in admissions to state-certified treatment programs among those 18 to 24 years of age for heroin and other opioids in the past decade. The plan will add 270 treatment beds across the state and bump program slots to 2,335. While the exact mechanism for increasing those beds remains unclear, the report said the state should explore the conversion of existing beds at New York State Office of
native. To put a dent in prescribing practices, the legislation reduces first-time opioid prescriptions for acute pain from 30 to seven days. Doing so may cull the supply of excess pills, many of which end circulating on the black market. Since 2015, the state has curbed “doctor shopping” by 90 percent with I-STOP legislation that has required pharmacies to report prescriptions in real time, among other safeguards. Not included in the final package was a proposal that would have built on the policy by urging the creation of a national database. Calls for more consumer education, supported transitional housing for addicts in recovery and increasing public outreach and awareness is also contained within the package, including ongoing prescriber education on pain management and addiction. Similar training is mandatory in Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut. While the report called for supporting and promoting these partnerships like the Essex County Heroin and Opioid Prevention Coalition, it stopped short of allocating a new funding stream which would also these groups to hire staffers to give ideas flight. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the plan is the type of “decisive action” needed to end the epidemic. The state allocated $1.4 billion to OASAS for the 2016 fiscal year. Cuomo, speaking in Staten Island last month, called the investment “significant.” But, he added, they are “frankly nothing” compared to what needs to be done to vanquish the crisis.

Inane turtle twaddle -2016For the past thirteen spring seasons I have lived on the bank of the Schroon River, in Warrensburg, and I always watch for the arrival of the big, lumbering female turtle that comes walking out of the water and across my lawn to do her turtle duty and lay eggs in the warm soil. Frantically, with grim determination, she digs holes and lays copious eggs in my front yard and in my back yard until, exhausted, several days later, she crawls her weary way back in to the river and is gone again for yet another year. I have watched carefully but never yet have I seen even one baby turtle, even last year when my neighbors put up a little fence in one spot to protect the eggs from being eaten by scavengers. This year I went out to have a conversation with her and she made it very clear by the scowl on her face that she did not want to be bothered with my company while she was doing the duty Mother Nature had inflicted upon her. We did get to be a bit more congenial as she popped out one egg after another and in the conversation she mentioned that she was an oracle and possessed the gift of clairvoyance and was able to see into the future of this crazy country that we Americans inhabit. She told me that, for instance, former Speaker of the House, Republican Newt Gingrich, will be elected as the next vice-president of the United States. If what she has told me turns out to be true, I am going to find a good bookie to do business with next season. I wonder if she knows anything about horse racing.
One Hundred Years Ago – June, 1916 Native son opens campaign The campaign of Charles Evans Hughes, a native of Glens Falls, for president of the United States, has opened with a bang in New York under the direct leadership of the candidate himself. The Hughes headquarters, established at the Hotel Astor, is crowded with admirers and politicians eager to get on the bandwagon. The supporters of Mr. Hughes are already urging him to make a vigorous campaign that will force President Woodrow Wilson to take the stump. On June 10, 1916 in Chicago, Charles Evens Hughes, of New York was nominated for president and Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, born May 11, 1852, was nominated for vice-president at the Republican National convention. They were greeted with approval by party members throughout the country. Each man has held high office, the former as governor of New York and Associate Justice of the United States

Supreme Court and the latter as senator from Indiana and vice-president of the United States during the second administration of President Theodore Roosevelt from 1905 to 1909. The Glens Falls Chamber of Commerce has invited Republican nominee Hughes to spend the summer with his family in that city, the place of his birth. It is regretted that the invitation will not be accepted as Mr. Hughes finds it necessary to keep in touch with his campaign headquarters in New York City. At the hotel where he was given a suit of three rooms on the eighth floor, he said – “I belong to New York and have come back home.”
County Home disaster A pleasure trip ends in tragedy. Thomas W. Sheehy, of Glens Falls, drowned while rowing on the Schroon River. He was employed at the County Home, doing a job of masonry work and he was drowned in the river Thursday evening, June 8, 1916, a short distance from the home. Mr. Sheehy, with two other men, started out in a skiff after supper for a row on the river. In order to pass under a log sorting platform the other men jumped from the boat and were standing on the platform while Mr. Sheehy has risen to his feet and was about to follow them. The boat was rocked by the last man getting out which caused Mr. Sheehy to lose his balance and fall into the water. When he came to the surface the two men attempted to reach him but were unable to do so and the drowning man was carried by the current under some logs and did not appear again. The accident was reported to Superintendent of the Poor Griggs who at once instituted a search for the body, which was not recovered until 8 o’clock Friday morning. The remains were taken to his late home at 43 West Street, Glens Falls, in the afternoon. Mr. Sheehy is survived by his mother, Mrs. John Sheehy of Schroon Lake, his widow, two sons and two daughters, John, William, Katherine and Genevieve Sheehy of Glens Falls. Burial was in St. Mary’s Cemetery.
Death at Big Moose will also be live entertainment from the band City Limits and Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys throughout the afternoon and evening. Fireworks will begin at dusk. This year’s North Warren Summerfest event should draw excellent attendance and is a great opportunity to showcase businesses or organizations. If a vendor would like to have a booth, call the North Warren Chamber of commerce at 4942722, or email info@northwarren.com. Vendor booths are free this year. Volunteers are still needed to lend a hand on the day of the event. The event is sponsored by the North Warren Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Chestertown. The Summerfest Celebration takes place Saturday, July 9, at the Chestertown Municipal Center. Photos provided
Irving Bissell, 25, of Newcomb, was instantly killed at noon, Saturday, June 7, 1916 in an accident at Big Moose. Bissell was driving an automobile truck for Dana Bissell and was crossing the railroad track with the machine. While trying to avoid a freight train he failed to see an express train until it was close upon him and it was too late to save his life. The force of the collision was terrific as the train was going at great speed. The truck and its occupant were thrown about eighty feet from the truck. The unfortunate man has his neck, an arm and one leg broken and his body was badly mangled. The body was taken to Newcomb where the funeral was held Tuesday morning, June 20, 1916, in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was the son of Walter Bissell. His mother, who is in poor health, is nearly prostrated with grief. Burial was in the Union Cemetery.
Sweet and sour notes Of the total area of Warren County, which amounts to 496,693 acres, the State of New York owns 124,807 acres located in nine of the eleven towns of the county. Governor Whitman has accepted an invitation to take place in the ceremonies, on June 1, 1916, on Mount McGregor, during which the President Ulysses S. Grant death tablet will be unveiled. Grant died in 1885. On June 1, 1916, Rev. Frank Jackson united in marriage John Noble Dalaba and Hester Bavar Leighstone Rist. (Note – The couple later went on to have nine children. They were Violet, Blossom, Pansey, Daisy, Rose, Fern, Lynden, Oliver and Carnata Dalaba.) In Stony Creek, a son was born June 10, 1916 to Mrs. Schuyler Gill. A daughter was born to Mrs. Claude Potter. George E. Pratt, of Warrensburgh and Miss Frances Daly, of Argyle, were married Tuesday evening, at the home of the bride’s sister, Miss Genevieve Daly in Argyle, by the Rev. Mr. Dean. It was just ten years ago, June 18, 1906 that Glens Falls officials were under fire for allowing bars and taverns to start opening again on Sundays. It was just three years ago, June 28, 1913 that the Warrensburgh – Lake George Road opened. (Note – Many people have commented this year, June, 2016, on the unusual cool weather for this time of year. It was on June 23, 1918 that great damage was done in this area due to a heavy frost, the coldest in ten years.)

EYE ON THE ARTS
Happiness-boosters The Dalai Lama, who was born this month in 1935, once said that “happiness is not something readymade.” More than there being some far off happily-ever-after, I have always believed that happiness is a daily journey. It is not something you eventually achieve, but a feeling you aim for every day. Let’s be honest: despite our blessings, it is sometimes difficult to be happy. As one of my old friends used to say, “there is nothing we underrate so much as the duty of happiness.” I think we could all agree that it’s worthwhile. One of the things that helps me on this daily journey is forward motion. Instead of just saying that I will go out and do something, I actually do it. And the days that I do attend that exhibit opening, or that film screening, or that concert – are usually the best ones. As always, there are quite a few happiness-boosters around the region to brighten up your week. Here are a few: On June 19, the 4th annual Glens Falls Pride Festival will return to Crandall Park. Glens Falls Pride is a celebration of diversity and equality, both locally and worldwide. This event celebrates Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer members of the Glens Falls community. It also aims to support a positive stance against violence and discrimination for those that identify as LGBTQ. Allies are encouraged to participate. This festival will be a family friendly event. Local musician Ryan Clark will play at 2:15 p.m. Assemblywoman Carrie Woener will speak at 3 p.m. A drag show, featuring performers Sabastian, Bee’Uh Bombchelle, Ms. Kitten Kaboodle, Anya Knees, Mallissa Capri, James Bondage and Jaqueline Frost, will take place at 4 p.m. For more information, visit glensfallspride.org. The Clinton Community College Drama Club will present “Phenomenal Woman Phenomenally: A Celebratory Revue” on June 17-18. The show, which will take place in Plattsburgh’s Stafford Theater, aims to celebrate women and women’s history. Proceeds from “Phenomenal Woman” will go toward raising money for ovarian, breast and cervical cancer research. The first show is on June 17 at 7:30 p.m. The final show is on June 18 at 7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $20 each. VIP tickets are $25. For more information, contact the Clinton Community College at 518-562-4200. The B.D. Lenz trio will perform at Smoke Signals in Lake Placid on June 18. The B.D. Lenz trio is fronted by renowned New Jersey based funk/jazz guitarist B.D. Lenz. The show will begin at 8:30 p.m. For more information, contact Smoke Signals at 518-523-2271. Glens Falls’ City Park will host the June Arts Festival on June 18-19. The Festival features approximately 200 vendors offering jewelry, home items, food items, fine art, textiles, garden decorations and more. The festival also includes not-for-profit booths, arts demonstrations, children’s activities, food concessions, and live entertainment by local musicians. The June Arts Festival is free and open to the public. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. all weekend. For more information, contact the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council at 518-798-1144.

The Adirondack Art Association is dedicated to providing arts education and fine art exhibitions in the community of Essex and surrounding areas. Five children’s art classes will be offered throughout the summer. The classes include a “Children’s Nature & Art” Workshop on
Stony Creek Inn to host annual fundraiser STONY CREEK — The Dot & Johnstock annual Fundraiser, to benefit Cindy’s Cancer Retreats and the Southern Adirondack Musicians Fund (SAM), will be held Saturday, June 18, at the Stony Creek Inn, from 1 to 5 p.m. The original Dot & Johnstock in 2008 raised funds and hope for Stony Creek Inn owners Dot Bartell and John Fickel when beginning their cancer journey. Since then, that same spirit and community outpouring has benefited Cindy’s Cancer Retreats and the SAM fund. Cindy’s Retreat, developed by the late Cindy Ginsburg, provides physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for women and men, living with and beyond cancer, with weekend long programs at Silver Bay and Roaring Brook Ranch, in Lake George. The Southern Adirondack Musicians Fund (SAM Fund) provides emergency funds to local and regional musicians and their families facing hardships to see them through difficult times. There will be lots of food to sample, and lots of music to listen to, with a variety of musical offerings including The Bluebillies, Johnny and the Triumphs, Mark Emanation of Soul Sky, Orion and Keanon and more. The afternoon will also include a silent auction and raffle. The suggested donation is $20. Checks may be made out to Cindy’s Retreat or The SAM Fund and mailed to The Stony Creek Inn, P.O. Box 184, Stony Creek, NY, 12878. Receipts will Hardwood Logs be provided for tax deductible donations. Total proceeds will be shared equally.

my door. Some were buying 10 tubes at a time,” she recalled. “I realized there was something going on. I needed to look a little deeper.” What she found was word of mouth had hit the tipping point. Packaged in a convenient roll on tube, small and easily stored in a pocket, the repellent had caught on with fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts in the Adirondacks and surrounding areas. She heard from horse and dog owners that found the formula was effective on their animals. Horses, however, should not ingest the repellent, said Grillo. Seasonal visitors had taken the product back to their homes, shared it with friends and online orders were now coming in from across the country. The timing was right and Grillo decided to focus on the repellent, first addressing the evolution of the number sign since she’d created the product. “It’s a hashtag now,” Grillo said of the #7 product. A new name was necessary. Grillo’s Essential Insect Repellent soon emblazoned new packaging, with a return to her roots and her early days of field testing the product. “There are a huge array of essential oils that are very effective repellents,” she said. Finding the right blend to work all the time, though, was a different matter. “I didn’t test this in a lab. I was out in the environment, testing all hours of the day. Testing in both high tick areas and high mosquito, black fly areas. For example, in the middle of the day I’d test for a certain mosquito. In the evening, there is a different species that feeds and responds differently to repellents.” She tweaked her combination to find the best mix to repel the most insects, focusing on the most offensive bugs. “There were a lot of fallacies I learned along the way about what

Some property owners may also receive letters in the area likely to be the focus of projects. “Right now, we are looking at Main Street and Hudson and River streets,” she said. “We’re looking for clusters and casting a wide net.” There are no financial restrictions for the property owners to apply, however, any empty apartments that are renovated

works and what doesn’t,” she said. Citronella is one of the most commonly thought of natural repellents, but isn’t in Grillo’s mix. “It doesn’t work. And it doesn’t smell good. It hits you. It’s harsh. It just doesn’t have any class,” she said. The scent of Grillo’s final product was a consideration, too. “You’ll want to wear this because it smells good,” she said. Many of her customers have reported the same. Although Grillo’s Lyme disease is managed, she still feels the effects of it. She’s considered to have chronic Lyme disease with co-infections. It has her keeping tabs on news of progress with insect-transmitted illnesses, including encephalitis caused by mosquitoes, as well as legislation for awareness and prevention. Within the last months, two state Senate bills cosponsored by Sen. Betty Little, passed concerning Lyme and tick borne diseases. One requires the Department of Health to design a Lyme and tick-borne disease prevention program to promote awareness of the disease and inform communities about the best prevention methods. The other calls for development of age-appropriate instructional materials to promote education and awareness for school-aged children. In Warren County, officials have been tackling the matter head-on prior to the new requirements. “Prevention has always been our message,” said Patricia Belden, communicable disease coordinator. “Ticks are here. We’re not going to get rid of them. The key is education,” she said. More signage will be going up on trails throughout the county. In addition to continued reminders and messages on Facebook for the older crowd, classroom presentations go on throughout the country, getting even the youngest residents aware of checking for ticks. “It’s good to know we have a lot of people on board,” said Grillo. “I’m glad we are being proactive. I’m glad to be a part of the prevention.” using funds would need to be rented using a specific guideline of allowable fees. Properties that receive the funding often have businesses at the street level with residences or rental units on the upper floors. Mixed use, commercial-only buildings and individual residences are all eligible for the program. A total of $500,000 is earmarked for the project, if enough interest is seen. A maximum of $50,000 per commercial building can be awarded for interior, exterior and roofing work.

Grillo’s Essentials packaging was redesigned last fall with Gina Grillo’s renewed passion for prevention of Lyme disease and other insect related illnesses.
For residential buildings, $10,000 could be awarded for each unit, with a cap set at $100,000 per building. The award will cover 75 percent of project costs, with property owners footing 25 percent of the bill. Projects must be visually prominent. Tallman said a particular interest will be placed on historic and mixed use buildings.

Elephant << Continued from | p. 1
Within minutes she had about 50 responses, which didn’t surprise Antionette. “It’s not everyday you get a chance to own an elephant.” Within a few hours, Elle was sold. She relocated to her new home over the weekend, a secret spot for now. “I can’t say anything about the buyer. He’s giving it as a gift and it’s a surprise,” she said. While purchasing a life-size fiberglass elephant online moments after seeing it may seem like an impulse buy, Elle made her way to the Howe home in a similar way. “We were going to meet someone in Hudson Falls and driving down the road. “Did you see that elephant?” she recalled saying to her husband. “We got to the place and asked the man if he knew about it. He said, yes, that’s his mother’s house.” Before they knew it, they’d purchased an 8-foot-tall replica elephant and were driving her home on a snowmobile trailer. “People stared on the Northway. Can you imagine what they thought seeing that? We had one car follow us right here because he wanted to see what it

was about,” she said. Antoinette thought of no other name than Elle. “That had to be her name,” she said. “What else could it be but Elle?” Not a lot is known about Elle’s history. For certain, she resided on the Hudson Falls property for about 20 years before coming with the Howes. Prior to that, she was in Chicago, likely in a zoo. “We really don’t know much else, but I imagine she was probably at that zoo for a number of years before they got rid of her,” she said. As Antoinette stood in her yard last week, brushing some dust from Elle’s eyes and gently swiping her rope tail, a UPS delivery truck approached. The driver yelled to Antoinette, having seen the online sale ad. “You can’t sell her, “ he shouted. “She’s a landmark.” Elle will soon be a landmark on her new adventure.
