ADK marathon
Runners flock from near and far Thousands will come for annual race in Schroon Lake
By Christopher Pratt

SCHROON — There’s a multitude of races across the country for distance running enthusiasts, but for those who partake year after year in the Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival, the event offers an incomparable blend of natural scenery and human joy. The annual distance running ritual takes place this weekend in Schroon Lake. For runner Joe Branigan, 60, who splits time between residences in Schroon Lake and Florida, the combination of fall foliage, clear views and a fun crowd, makes the Adirondack race a true treasure of the distance racing circuit. “It kind of just gives you the inspiration,” Branigan said of the scenery. “This is home to me and I love the area, and I just to love participate in it.” Branigan, a retired plumber, will run the half marathon this year. He’s run the full 26.2 mile Adirondack Marathon before and has also completed races in Boston, Chicago and New York. It’s the 2002 Adirondack Marathon race that is most memorable to him, though. Branigan proposed to his wife during the event. The race “just brings out his love for the Adirondacks,” said Mary Beth Romanzo, Branigan’s wife.
Organizing group is prepared
Joe Branigan, who splits time between his home in Schroon Lake and Florida, is one of thousands of runners scheduled to run Sunday as part of the Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival. Branigan proposed to his wife during the event in 2002.
Bob Singley, a member of the festival’s organizing committee, said in a statement last week that all systems are ready for the annual celebration. The festival is “geared up for an outstanding weekend of events over the course of the two days,” Singley said. Organizers have designed the festival to be accessible to an >> Story Continued | pg. 11

Lake George honors victims, survivors of Ethan Allen tragedy By Ryan Edwards
ryan@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — On Oct. 2, 2005, Lake George saw the largest boating loss of life in the State of New York when a Shoreline Cruises tour boat, the Ethan Allen, sank off Cramer Point, resulting in the loss of 20 passengers’ lives. The boat was carrying 47 passengers from a tourist group called the Trenton Travelers, consisting of mostly seniors from Michigan and Ohio, on a fall foliage tour of the lake when it capsized and sank. On the first anniversary of this tragedy, the Village of Lake George erected a granite stone memorial on Lower Amherst Street, between Shepard Park and the Shoreline Restaurant, where emergency boats are berthed to respond to such incidents on the lake. Now a decade later, at this monument, the Village will hold a memorial service to honor the fallen as well as the survivors of the incident. The memorial service is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 2 at 12:30 p.m. “It was one of those times
where I remember exactly where I was when I heard,” Mayor Blais said in an interview. “I think [the memorial service] is the right thing to do; it’s an important day in history and I don’t think we should forget that we are in the tourist business — people come to enjoy Lake George, and this is exactly the opposite of what we hope for.” Along with Blais, members of the local clergy, representing the Saint James Episcopal Church, Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Caldwell Presbyterian Church will take part in the ceremony, along with a sing-along and ‘Amazing Grace’ sung by Andrea Jacobs, exactly as done ten years ago.

Chester barn lives on at new L.L. Bean outlet store By Ryan Edwards
ryan@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Thanks to a local company, wood from what was a nearly collapsed nineteenth century barn lives on inside the recently opened L.L. Bean factory outlet store in Lake George. The barn, erected in the 1830s, was located on Vangilder Road in Chester, just 20 miles from the outlet store. When its owners began to fear the building would collapse this summer, they called a Lake George family-owned andoperated recycler of aging barns called StoriedBoards to come and take it down. But the StoriedBoards team doesn’t stop there. Founded in 2012 on the principal that history should not be lost when materials are reclaimed from their original source, the company not only disassembles these structures, but grants the old boards new life by ensuring their stories follow them to their new homes, from private residences to businesses like L.L. Bean.
In this particular case, accompanying the boards on an interior wall of the store is a photo of the barn and a blown-up postcard from 1910 showing its location relative to Loon Lake, framed with wood from the barn and offering details about its owners. “People love it because it feels like L.L. Bean. It’s outdoorsy,” store manager Stephanie Calcutti said. “It’s nice when people ask about the wood and you can tell them about the history and the family that owned it.” Joan (Vanguilder) Stevens, whose parents and grandparents used the barn to house cows and chickens and store hay, said she was sad to see all those memories come down – but equally excited to see the boards reused on the L.L. Bean store walls. “It was like, ‘hey, I know those boards,’” she said about her store visit. “It was kind of emotional, but it’s nice to see the barn is living on. It’s still got a story to tell.” StoriedBoards has dismantled 13 barns to date, and wood products from these structures have been used in more than 100 projects this year. The company’s work has
been featured in lavish homes and high-end restaurants including Gabriel Kreuther in Manhattan and The Back 40 Kitchen in Greenwich, CT. L.L. Bean announced in March that it planned to triple its number of stores, and StoriedBoards’ owners Tyler, Whitney and Garrett Russell are hopeful the company will call again. L.L. Bean Corporate Spokesman Mac McKeever said he couldn’t say whether that will happen, but he praised the company and its products. “We chose to use reclaimed barn boards from StoriedBoards for a few reasons: they were an environmentally sound option, they are a local provider and their gorgeous wood tells a unique story, has incredible character, a rich history and heritage and is a great match for our brand.”
Wood from a nineteenth century Chester barn was given new life at the recently opened L.L. Bean outlet store in Lake George, thanks to StoriedBoards, a Lake George company which dismantles aging barns and provides detailed back-stories to its costumers to ensure the buildings’ legacies live on wherever their boards end up.

Thurman fall farm tour to showcase rural culture Hayrides, artisans, woods walks slated By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
ATHOL — Hundreds of people from a wide region will be introduced to traditional Adirondack rural culture this weekend as the Thurman Fall Farm Tour is held here. Folks attending the 2015 edition of this annual event can tour a goat farm and savor their handcrafted cheeses, watch artisans demonstrate their crafts, take a woods walk, or try their hand at dowsing for underground water. The activities start at 10 a.m. around town. This year, a first for the annual celebration of rural life, people will have the opportunity to launch pumpkins for a considerable distance with a huge catapult. This device, built by maple sugaring entrepreneur Randy Galusha, will be offered at Toad Hill Farm where people can take a wagon ride, or embark on a tour of their sugarhouse and enjoy samplings of their maple products. Also, a local fire truck will be on site for children to experience, and Marilyn Hoy-Youngblood will be reading stories about fire-fighting. From noon to 5 p.m., Toad Hill Farm, located on Charles Olds Road, will be offering chicken barbecue meals. At Nettle Meadow Farm on South Johnsburg Road, visitors can enjoy a meetup with goats and baby sheep, taste samplings of the farm’s nationally renowned gourmet cheeses, procure home-baked breads by Kathy Templeton, or take turns operating an apple cider press and savor the results. Cheeses, truffles and cheesecake are to be for sale there. Guest vendors at Nettle Meadow include Hidden Hollow Maple Farm proprietors with their products. From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the loft of Nettle Meadow’s restored historic barn, readings from local history and a wildlife talk will be presented. Singer-songwriter Sara Pierson
is to perform live at the farm Saturday afternoon until 3 p.m., and a children’s activity tent — complete with goat and sheep costumes — will be open most of the day. At Martin’s Lumber and Certified Tree Farm on Mountain Road, people can take a woods walk and learn about nurturing and harvesting trees, see a sawmill in operation, hear from John Los about how he handcrafts chairs and carves wooden bowls and spoons, or marvel at Donna Wormwood’s rustic miniature furniture — and peruse other local handicrafts including jewelry, garden stones and wooden signs. At Whitefields’ Farm, also on Mountain Road, visitors will be able to watch their famed free-range turkeys feed on sunflowers, see their pigs up close in their historic stone
barn, taste their gourmet natural turkey sausage, or shop for fall garden produce. Visitors to Whitefields’ can also check out the wares of their guest vendors — the gluten-free baked goods of H’Arts for the Home and the wooden fiber-arts tools of Oven Mountain Farm & Folk Art while watching demonstrations of weaving and spinning. At the Thurman town hall in Athol, quilts made by members of the Thurman Quilting Club will be on display. At Peru Llama Farm on High St., people can meet and greet llamas, and learn how they are trained from the farm’s proprietor, Irv West. At Valley Road Maple Farm, Mike Hill and Ralph Senecal will be offering their famed
semi-anniual pancake breakfast from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. as well as opening their sugarhouse for tours. Brochures and maps of tour sites are available online at ThurmanFallFarmTour.com as well as in town. Visitors are urged to pick up a scarecrow contest ballot and locator maps so they can see all of the entries around town and vote for their favorite. Children prepare to take a wagon ride at Toad Hill Farm during the 2015 Thurman Fall Farm Tour. The 2015 edition of the event that celebrates mountain culture features sugar-house tours, woods walks, pumpkin launching, dowsing for underground water, artisans demonstrating their crafts, and samplings of local maple and cheese products.

trate compounds. The town of Lake George will also be considering a companion moratorium on sewer connections in its Caldwell Sewer District, town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson said Tuesday. The sewage from the Caldwell district, located on the east side of Lake George, feeds into the village’s municipal sewage treatment plant. Under the village law enacted Monday, new sewer connections will continue to be allowed to individual single-family homes, subject to approval of the village officials. The same goes for all upgraded replacement sewer connections. Development projects already awarded site-plan approval or a building permit can also proceed with sewer connections. Also, the law allows for the approval of special cases that are endorsed by both the Public Works Superintendent and the village board. In December, both the town and village boards considered a similar moratorium
He said that in December, municipal officials weren’t sure of the magnitude of the cost of plant upgrades — but now that they knew they were facing a cost of $12 million to $15, they knew that a moratorium might demonstrate cooperation with the state edicts — and prompt more state aid for the treatment plant’s renovation or replacement. “With the village board showing they are willing to take a short-term sacrifice for the benefit of the community, this is likely to improve their standing for funding,” Navitsky said. He added that the village has worked for years to incrementally improve its sewage treatment system, but a new treatment system was now vital to protect the environment. Navitsky’s presentation in December showed how macro-invertebrates, velvet moss and blue-green algae — some of it toxic — is increasing in West Brook, and these growths are associated with severe wastewater pollution. Tuesday, while praising the village leaders for enacting a moratorium, he suggested they consider further steps — imposing sewer discharge surcharges, or “impact fees” for new large scale developments — as well as hiking fees for loads of sewage deposited at the plant by septic haulers. Dickinson said town government has recently been taking action to improve the existing situation by “slip-lining” manholes and mains, which prevents groundwater from infiltrating the sewer system. “We’ve cut back our flows to the treatment plant by a million or more gallons per month,” he said, noting that the upgrade has saved town taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars already. Dickinson added that he supports the moratorium. “It’s the conscionable thing to do to call a halt and get this sewage treatment issue resolved,” he said.

He noted that the dive team has in the past accepted donations of equipment and vehicles, rather than receiving direct financial support, because the village’s financial liability exposure to injuries was “enormous.” The village, however, has continued to appropriate $8,000 annually to the fire department to support its water-rescue efforts, he said, suggesting the dive team conduct a fundraiser to pay for a new truck. Deputy mayor John Earl said that the county dive team included members from five or six different fire companies, and they respond to water-related emergencies around the county.

Dear Donald: I must admit your recent success and rise in the polls for the presidency has surprised me. I cringe at the unconventional things you say, your braggadocios style and the insults you throw about, but it’s hard to argue with your success both in business and now in politics. You have proven you are a man who gets things done. I know it’s very early, but it’s hard to see how any of the other candidates are going to get a leg up on you unless something comes completely out of left field. Something like President Obama producing a birth certificate proving you are not really an American citizen. Short of that, you seem to have struck a cord with the Republican base that is looking for something different. Like Ronald Reagan, your success comes from surrounding yourself with very successful people and delegating responsibility to those with a passion for producing results in their field of expertise. Your next, best, unconventional move will be to name your running mate and cabinet officials right now. Make it clear to the American public, the Republicans are serious about turning the country around from the precipice we find ourselves. VP goes to Rick Perry, since he was wise enough to be the first to drop out of this over crowded field. Rounding out the team in no particular order; Secretary of State; Carly Fiorina, Secretary of Defense; Marco Rubio, Secretary of Energy; Jeb Bush, Secretary of Labor; Scott Walker, Attorney General; Chris Christy, Secretary of Veteran’s Affairs; Lindsey Graham, Treasury Secretary; John Kasich, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Ben Carson, Secretary of Agricultural; George Pataki, Secretary of Commerce; Bobby Jhindal, Secretary of Education; Mike Huckabee, Secretary of Health & Human Services; Rick Santorum, Home Land Security; Ted Cruz, and last but not least Rand Paul as Surgeon General. You are famous for building outlandish things. Here’s your chance to build a real A-Team for America. Save all the money wasted on campaigning and political advertising and start planning for a return to greatness today. God help you, and God help us, you’ve tapped into something. We all sure hope it’s not just Hot Air. Dan Alexander is president and CEO of Sun Community News.

Local governments can improve transparency with online tools
I
n June, the town of Moriah began making recent videos of board meetings accessible via YouTube, an online video sharing site. The decision was a laudable step in improving government transparency. Residents with concerns, or simply those curious about town business, can access the videos with the aid of a basic Internet connection. Town officials say the YouTube channel keeps with a tradition of transparency started in the 1990s, when Moriah beg a n recording meetings for broadcast on TV Channel 17. Like it has changed many other facets of life, technology has expanded our options for consuming media. It seems like a logical step for local governments to share their meetings online, but not all have been quick to embrace it. Elected officials in Moriah apparently recognize it can improve people’s ability to follow discussions about town ordinances, department briefings and a lot of other topics. Board member Luci Carpenter, who has overseen the process of uploading and organizing the proceedings, deserves special credit for the town’s effort. Many communities also record their proceedings to play on Channel 17. Others, including the town of Ticonderoga, have been airing meetings on YouTube for more than a year. Moriah and Ticonderoga have also set fine examples of transparency recently by effectively posting minutes of their board meetings. They are located in a clear and identifiable spot on their respective websites. Like YouTube, uploading minutes is a low cost and easy way to improve public trust in government. Both tasks can easily be done within a matter of days. Sometimes -- like earlier this month when Ticonderoga town board members abandoned plans for a police station project after public outcry -- it might run contrary to the short-term interests of some elected officials to let the public have such access to video and documents. Although it may cause some additional headaches and work for government officials in the short term, it’s hard to not see how making it standard practice to post minutes and video could do anything but improve the overall quality of government in the long term. The best politicians, we believe, recognize the value in putting more sunlight on their work. In making the investment of a few thousand dollars for recording equipment and prioritizing staff time to get video and minutes posted online, towns can demonstrate their commitment to transparency in the 21st century. The staff time spent producing and uploading minutes is a good use of resources -- we’re advocating for thorough, not exhaustive notes to be kept. If smaller towns are having difficulty financing this work, then officials
should seek partnerships that could finance it. While there’s no law requiring local governments to make their meeting minutes available online, there’s also no law preventing them from doing it. Robert Freeman, executive director of the New York State Committee on Open Government, encourages governments to “do the right thing” in favor of improving the public’s awareness of government activity. In today’s high-paced world, people increasingly count on being able to access reliable information online, Freeman said. “There are so many instances in which the law might not require taking a certain course of action, but taking that course of action is the right thing,” he said. Again, we commend towns in using YouTube -- but we expect nothing less. As New York State’s open meetings law clearly articulates, timely access to the work of public bodies is paramount to our sense of self government. “It is the only climate under which the commonweal will prosper and enable the governmental process to operate for the benefit of those who created it,” the law states.

History of the river
Family expresses gratitude
To the Editor: I enjoyed your column on dams and freeing rivers to reach the sea for spawning runs. I live on the Schroon River in Warren County and have a hydro dam nearby. My concern isn’t so much the spawning runs as it is respect for the river and its fishery. Back around the time of Hurricane Katrina, the dam under went needed a lengthy repair to restore and recondition its footings. The water level was dropped dramatically, as this section is artificially elevated by the hydrodam. (I consider this a good thing.) However, this went on for three years. This dramatic reduction of the water level forced the fish into the remaining deeper pools. These fish included rainbows, browns, bass and some seriously large northern pike. The river had a well established trout fishery enjoyed by fly fisherman and others. When the water level was raised, the trout and trout fishermen were gone! Not all bad, the northerns had eaten well and put on weight. This was a predictable occurrence and all with any authority were made aware early on of my concern for the fishery as well as wildlife ducks, turtles, etc. My response was an invariable, “Yes, it’s Illegal BUT HE’S a NICE GUY.” This response was from the federal regulatory commission, Assemblywoman Betty Little; the Warren County Sportsman Alliance to the New York Fisheries and wildlife biologists and the 50 Wolf Road DEC Office. They did suggest call Trout Unlimited. I called. The Adirondack Trout unlimited doesn’t represent any part of the Adirondacks. Surprise! NO ONE Cared! Well, the trout fishing never improved. The trout never returned and the fisher people never returned. Why wasn’t restocking the river included in the NICE GUYS’ cost of doing business? How many times when committing a flagrant and admitted wildlife violation can you get away with it BECAUSE you’re a nice guy? I have seen the stocking truck in the area near me and watched as some trout were put in: But not the healthy 17 inch rainbows I used to catch. I have had people fish behind my house for over well over a decade. Caught zero trout. The public fishing bench remains vacant. But I did catch my first maybe 10 inch rainbow a recently stocked 10 incher. NICE JOB THANKS.

Hillbilly Hoedown a success To the Editor: On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Sherman Free Library, I would like to thank all the businesses and individuals who made our 1st annual “Hillbilly Hoedown” on Aug. 29, such an overwhelming success.

Police take swift action To the Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum, I would like to thank the Ticonderoga Police Department for their swift apprehension of the three youths who vandalized the Town restrooms in the 1888 Building this summer. Clean, safe restrooms are not only necessary for the thousands of people who enjoy the Bicentennial Park every year, they are essential to the Heritage Museum’s mission of acting as a Visitors’ Center for the community. The actions of the Police Department, along with the help of the Town Clerk’s Office, send a strong message that vandalism will not be tolerated in Ticonderoga.

A Government Shutdown Must Be Avoided
“The North Country knows all too well the devastating effects that a government shutdown would have on our economy and our security,” writes Rep. Stefanik
T
he deadline on a funding bill is approaching soon. However, Congress and the President have yet to agree on a funding approach to keep the government from shutting down on Sept. 30. As many readers know, I ran for office against harmful government shut downs. I have voted accordingly during my time in Congress, voting against Members of my own party when the Department of Homeland Security was on the verge of shutting down. The reasons for my position are simple: Before I took office, the sixteen-day government shutdown in 2013 cost our economy an estimated $24 billion and stalled the creation of over 100,000 private sector jobs. It also imposed unacceptable delays in life-saving National Institutes of Health research studies and payment of veterans’ disability claims, cost over $500 million in lost revenue at our national parks and shut thousands of children out of Head Start programs. In short, the 2013 shutdown not only hurt Americans with the loss of important government services — it actually cost taxpayers more to close down the federal government than to keep it open. For these reasons, I cosponsored legislation to prevent Congress from breaking for August recess until the House of Representatives had reached an agreement on measures to keep our government fully funded. Had our resolution— H.Res.17, the “Stay on Schedule” Resolution— been adopted, Congress would have stayed in session this summer until our business was taken care of and we would have avoided unnecessary, last minute brinksmanship. The North Country knows all too well the devastating effects that a government shutdown would have on our economy and our security. Our district is home to thousands of government employees, including border patrol agents who help keep our communities safe while promoting important commerce with our Canadian neighbors. In addition, we are the proud home of Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division, and in a time of increased deployment schedules and mounting international turmoil, it would be unconscionable for us to ask these brave men and women to serve in harm’s way without the promise of a paycheck. Please be assured, I will continue to oppose any government shutdown theatrics in Congress, and am leading an effort among my freshmen colleagues to urge our Republican conference to oppose a government shutdown. Like many others, I understand that there are serious issues that still need to be addressed; however, shutting down the government is an appalling strategy that does not in any way benefit our nation. I believe Congress should complete its work and provide funding for the federal government through the end of the next fiscal year. I will continue to vote in support of measures to keep our government open and will continue to urge my colleagues to do the same. North Country families — and families across this country — expect Congress to fulfill our responsibilities, avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and live up to our commitment to work every day to help keep the American economy moving forward.
t snuck in like a thief in the night. It’s called autumn. No, you shouldn’t capitalize it unless it occurs at the beginning of a sentence. Jack Frost made an appearance a couple days earlier than the official time of 4:21 a.m. on September 23. As we were enjoying some of the best late summer weather in recent memory, the area meteorologists were tossing about what for some is a dirty word—frost. Last Sunday, after the cold front came through, official forecasts were telling us to expect it in parts of Franklin County as well as some locations in Vermont. I have friends who enjoy my social site description of our Saranac river bank weather each morning around 5 a.m. As I wrote this on Monday, September 21, the thermometer bottomed out at 42.7 degrees Fahrenheit. This Chicken Little opted to keep his steaming hot cup of coffee in the kitchen. Inside, it was 69 degrees, but I held fast and refused to crank up the thermostat. Let the sun take care of it for a few more days. Whether you marked it at your house or not, Wednesday morning saw the second equinox of the year. This one is defined as the time when it appears that the sun goes across the celestial equator from the north to the south. In our neck of the woods, it signals some below freezing temperatures at night and below 70 degrees during the day. Technically, equinox means “equal night and day.” Few can forget last winter with its bitter cold and snow. What does the coming winter portend? You pays your money and takes your choice. You can look at the wooly caterpillars. You can consult your Almanac and listen to the “expert” weather persons; or you can lick your finger and stick it in the wind. I’ve checked all of them. Here’s my totally unprofessional prediction: above average temperatures in October; same thing in November and December; about average or a little above usual in December, January and February. That’s probably wishful thinking. Some are saying we’ll have another cold winter with fairly typical snowfall. After last year’s winter, that would be welcome. I would be pleased to have less snow to challenge my snow blower and less bitter cold to challenge my furnace. But, I still have long underwear and heavy winter parkas, so I’ll be ready to face whatever comes along. I think it was Longfellow who told us to “wear the fur side, inside.” Good idea.

State-ranked Warriors achieve one shutout after another By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Heading into the second half of their 2015 season, the Lake George Boys Soccer team is surpassing expectations, coach Blake White said Sept. 22. Monday, the team defeated Hadley-Luzerne by a score of 10-0 despite the Eagle’s strong defense. White said this latest win was the best game his team has played so far this year. As of Monday, the Lake George squad was ranked number 12 in the state for Class C schools. “We had energy, we were talking, passing better, creating a lot of opportunities. Our spacing was good, and we were moving the ball nice,” he said. “We kept Hadley-Luzerne on their heels — and they’re a really good team.” White noted that his players made more than 40 shots on the goal during the game. “Yesterday was a good sign,” he said. “Our team’s performance was impressive.” White praised the team for their achievements so far this season in amassing their 6-1 record — five of the wins were shutouts — and the squad has allowed only two goals all year. Blake said that the team’s performance in 2015 has been particularly good, considering that the Warriors lost 14 players to graduation, including their two top offensive threats among a lineup of league All-Stars. Heading up the offense in 2014 were Craig Keenan, who set a school record with 87 career goals, backed up by John Rubado, among others. The defense also was impressive in 2014, scoring shutouts in three of their four games on their way to win the Section II Championship. Advancing to the regional finals, the 2014 Warriors set a new school record for scoring 100 goals in a season.
White said the 2015 players have met the challenge of filling the roles of those who graduated. “The younger guys have stepped up and done a great job,” he said Tuesday. In the game Monday against HadleyLuzerne, the Eagles’ defense worked well to keep the Warriors scoreless for 15 minutes, with goaltender Connor Backus making some athletic saves. Lake George central defender Noah Prime scored the first goal of the game. He blasted a 30-yard shot that ricocheted off a defender into the net. In the last eight minutes of the half, the Warriors’ offense got rolling as they scored four consecutive goals. The second half started off with a number of sharp, accurate passes that resulted in a goal by Kalab Helms with just 50 seconds on the clock. The Warriors continued their attack, scoring four more to achieve the 10-0 outcome.
Ian Devlin lead the scoring with three goals and an assist. Finn Lambert scored two and Alex Jones, Oliver Thomas and Nick Hoffis added one each. Prime, Helms and Anthony Cardenas each tallied two assists. Jones and Dan Tenne each were credited with an assist. Sept. 18, Lake George beat Salem with crisp, savvy passing that resulted in 16 shots on goal, three of them eluding Salem’s goaltender. Early on, Ian Devlin fed the ball to Kalab Helms who scored the first goal. Minutes later, Anthony Cardenas drove a long cross to the far post that Devlin kicked into the goal for a 2-0 lead. Then with 8 minutes to go, Noah Prime received a diagonal pass 20 yards out and took a shot into the top left corner of the goal for Lake George’s third goal. Salem responded by tightening up their defense, making it difficult to get off an open shot, White said of the Warriors’ 3-0 victory. “The Generals blocked numerous shots and keeper Connor Worthington did his best
to keep the game manageable with some key saves,” he said. The second half was similar although Salem nearly hit some goals. Worthington tallied 17 saves over the game; Lake George’s goalkeeper Eli Gowen, 4. “Our defense was pretty stellar throughout,” White said, praising the work of Gowen, as well as Noah Prime, Jacob Edwards and Clark Mularz, among others. Two days earlier, Lake George met up with Fort Ann in a showdown of the two undefeated teams in the Adirondack League. Lake George lost 0-1, due to a goal by Cardinal Nick Lehoisky — a header into the left side of the goal. “It was a hard fought game,” White said. “We made one mistake, they capitalized on it, and that was it.” The prior games this year, Lake George won 5-0 versus Bolton-Warrensburg, 10-0 against North Warren, 7-0 against Corinth, and 5-1 versus Hartford. The next game Lake George was scheduled to play as of this week was Argyle-Fort Edward on Sept. 23, followed by a second meetup this season with Hartford Friday Sept. 25 on the Warriors’ home field. White said he was hopeful about the remainder of the season and was optimistic about post-season play in Sectionals. “So far, so good,” he said. He added that as of Sept. 22, five teams in Section II remain undefeated. “If we proceed as we have been playing, we will do well,” he said. “We’re going to keep striving. “

Cuomo talks upstate economy in Adirondacks By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
BOLTON — In a room which included the former lieutenant governor and his predecessor, Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave his annual state of business address to a room full of upstate
business leaders Sept. 18. Cuomo, who followed a forum led by former Gov. David Paterson, addressed the business council at the Sagamore in Bolton Landing, thanking them for their partnership and cooperation over the past five years.

“We have been through a lot of tough challenges, but we have made it through,” Cuomo said. “For the first time, we have had a true partnership between the governor’s office in Albany and the business community of upstate New York.” Cuomo touted his initiatives in upstate New York as helping to turn around a bad situation. “New York City is a different place now, but upstate was a much different story,” Cuomo said. “There was a sense of devastation that started to feed on itself. But, the numbers tell the story and New York has turned around because we have spent less. Because we are spending less, we can now tax less. Then you are stimulating the economy.” Cuomo said his goal has been to support upstate businesses and economies. “Upstate was not getting the support from the state they needed,” he said. “There is a New York contingent, but there is no upstate contingent.” Cuomo also took time to talk about reducing property taxes through the tax levy cap and consolidation of villages and government layers. “I am not in the business of propping up local governments,” he said. “That cannot be sustained. You have to become self-sustainable. You do not need the villages, the fire districts, the water districts, all the smaller forms of government that just add taxes. Lessen the forms of government, you lessen the taxes.” While Cuomo’s talk was heavy on upstate economics, there were no mentions of the North Country. When talking about state representation, the power point map was cut off at Warren and Washington Counties. The lone mention of the North Country came on a map showing decreases in unemployment numbers. Along with Paterson, former Lt. Governor Robert Duffy was on hand, leading several discussion groups during the three-day business council meeting.

reetings to all of our patrons and friends! Can you believe summer has come and gone and the beautiful colors of autumn are heading our way? Time surely does fly by! Some quick reminders for all of our friends. In September, the library started a new program for those of you who are in the process of changing jobs or looking for a new career. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you can drop off your resume and we here at the library will take a look at it and offer a fresh take on what you have written. We will review, and suggest changes and if your resume is okay, we’ll tell you that too. You will be able to collect your resumes a week later and if you want, we can discuss our suggestions for changes with you. We will be starting our Basic Computer Classes again starting Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 3 to 4 p.m. The classes will be taught on laptops, which we provide, and the program will run for four weeks. Class size is limited to six people for each four week course, so make sure you call, starting Monday, Sept. 28, 623-3011 to reserve a seat. Our class start dates for the basic course are as follows Oct. 14, Nov. 18, Jan. 6, 2016, and Feb. 10, 2016. See you in class! Finally, we want to thank all the people who drop off their gently used books and DVDs, however, the only type of material we will keep are those that are in pristine condition. Meaning, for books, you’ve read it once and don’t want to keep it, and for DVDs, much the same, you’ve watched it once and you haven’t watched it in years and you just want to “clean house”. We check all drop-offs to see if we have it in our collection. If we do and yours is in better condition, we just swap it out, or if it is new and we don’t have it, it goes right in. That material that doesn’t make the cut, we recycle. That is it for this week, so be here in two weeks for our next column! Enjoy the autumn weather!

Marathon << Continued from | p. 1
array of runners. The event, which has races on Saturday and Sunday, includes a full marathon, half-marathon, 5k, 10k and a youth run. While the starting gun for the marathon events goes off at 9 a.m. Sunday, there will also be an early bird start at 7 a.m. The early start is targeted for individuals who think they may not finish in the five and a half hour cut off, organizers said. The marathon, Singley noted, will also feature Pace Bears, or volunteers who are dedicated to helping participants reach their time goals. A study of the 2013 Distance Festival found activity related to it delivered roughly $1 million to the area economy. It also found about 92 percent of 1,266 race participants were considered non-local residents. A surge of economic activity is expected at area hotels, restaurants and bars. For this year’s festival, Singley noted, runners are expected to be coming from at least 26 states and countries including Canada, Mexico, Sweden, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Simply put, there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work put in by organizers and community members to pull off the event. It takes in the range of approximately 700 volunteers from several communities to help pull off the festival. It’s one of the “friendliest” marathons on the planet, Singley added.

In addition to the majestic scenery, the presence of cheering spectators and community involvement helps sway runners to come back year after year. Bobbi Storey Reeves, 68, of Peru, has made a weekend out of the festival for several years. Reeves is registered for the half marathon this year. In particular, Reeves, gets a smile out of the hoots, hollers and supportive sounds she hears along the way. “There’s people out there with cowbells,” Reeves said. “It’s so enthusiastic and fun,” she said. Both Branigan and Reeves said they’ll plan to be back in 2016.

Lake George << Continued from | p. 1
A monument honoring the victims of the Ethan Allen sinking was placed on Lower Amherst Street in Lake George on the first anniversary of this boat’s sinking. Now a decade later, the Village of Lake George plans to hold a memorial at the monument to commemorate that dark day in the history of Lake George. Photo provided
sponding emergency agencies; Lake George Fire and Emergency Squad, Warren County Sheriff ’s office and the Lake George Park Commission will also lay wreaths at the monument site. Blais personally mailed letters to each of the survivors as well as the families of the deceased inviting them to the service, but he was not certain on Monday how many would be in attendance at the memorial. One such recipient was Margie Kidon, a survivor of the accident. “It was such a nice surprise to hear that Lake George was having a memorial,” Margie told the Adirondack Journal. “I will never forget that tragic day or the kindness and help of the people of Lake George.” She recalled meeting Joyce Cloutier and Larry Steinhart, who rescued her from the water and brought her aboard their boat, as well as the scores of locals awaiting the rescued on shore with blankets, cell phones and other supplies. From there, Kidon said she and a number of survivors released from Glens Falls Hospital were brought to the Georgian Resort, where then assistant manager Hal Halliday offered them rooms, meals and phone service free of charge while they remained in Lake George. “We were treated royally,” Kidon recalled. After her stay at the Georgian, Kidon said Joan Parsons, then the administrator and clerk of the warren county board of supervisors who’d secured the survivors vouchers from Walmart for supplies, arranged a flight home for her aboard a private jet owned by Trans World Entertainment’s Robert Higgins. “I think of that day often,” Kidon said. “What wonderful, caring people we met during a tragedy in beautiful upper New York on that beautiful October day.” While Kidon is unable to attend the memorial as she is recovering from a recent back surgery, she said she still keeps in touch with a number of people she met in the days following the sinking of the Ethan Allen. Blais said he was pleased to hear from her regardless, noting the importance of remembrance, for the survivors of the incident and North Country residents alike. “I think ten years later we have to show them that we haven’t forgotten them,” Blais said. “We realize the extreme tragedy and the trepidation that they went through; we didn’t just put up a memorial and forget about them.”

Re-enactors to portray Battle of Lake George Customs of 1700s camp life to be shared By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Re-enactors of 18th century soldiers and Native Americans will be shooting weapons, conducting mock wartime skirmishes and military drills — as well as portraying colonial life and customs — as they conduct an encampment Friday Sept. 25 through Sunday Sept. 27 in Lake George Battlefield Park. Held by the French & Indian War Society, the encampment will feature a re-enactment of the Battle of Lake George in celebration of the conflict’s 260th anniversary. In past years, similar encampments have attracted thousands of spectators and 100-or-so participants have been eager to share their insights into 18th-century military camp life and Colonial American customs. This year, the encampments, featuring individuals and families in historic garb, are open to the public at no charge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Battlefield Park is located at the intersection of Beach Road and West Brook Road in Lake George Village. For details, contact Melodie at 744-8894 or melodiev@fortwilliamhenry.com. On Friday Oct. 2, the French and Indian War Society members will conduct a march from Fort William Henry in Lake George to Fort Edward following the present Warren County Bikeway and Feeder Canal Heritage Trail, which is similar to the location of the historic military road. The march leaves Lake George at 8:30 a.m. The march ends at Rogers Island in Fort Edward, which will be hosting an encampment portraying the “End of the Campaign” associated with the battle. Rogers Island is named for Robert Rogers, who wrote his rules of “ranging” while based at Fort Edward. These military tactics are considered the basis of today’s special forces operations. British, French and Provincial troops, as well as Native American warriors will be portrayed, and the re-enactors will be sharing their knowledge of camp life and customs of the 1700s as they observe the historic anniversary.

A
Guided Boat Tour A leisurely boat ride on Lake Champlain, the body of water ousted from the Great Lakes’ club, is the best way to learn its history. The Westport Marina is hosting a fall cruise Saturday, Oct. 3, aboard the Basin Harbor’s tour boat named the EScape. Passengers will begin boarding at 1:50 p.m. and the cruise ship will depart from the Westport Marina at 2 p.m. and return at 4. The cruise will take passengers south along the New York shoreline, past the homes dotting the steep embankment in Port Henry and will then turn around at the Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point to make its way north along the Vermont shoreline. Points of interest there will include Button Bay, Button Island and Basin Harbor before the boat heads back to the New York shoreline to pass along the breathtaking Palisades — a sheer cliff of rock that rises from the lake’s blue green water hundreds of feet into the sky. Westport Marina owner, Dee Carroll, said the mountain views should be spectacular. Previous trips have sold out early, and space is limited to 40 people, so Carroll encouraged those interested to make their reservations early by calling the marina prior to Sept. 30 at 962-4356. The cost for the trip is $20 per person.
