Four running for town council

Town leaders consider eco-friendly plow, ‘trick’ street lighting

By Thom Randall

LAKE GEORGE — Snow and ice covered roadways in the town may be clearer beginning this winter — with less salt polluting the local landscape — if the town leaders’ plans become reality.

The board voted to purchase a new snow plow — equipped with a super-efficient “live edge” plow blade, if possible.

This type of blade, Dickinson said, instantaneously flexes to fit the varying contours of the road, resulting in more snow and ice being removed from the town’s roadways. Such efficiency allows for the use of up to 50 percent less road salt to clear roadways, according to Public Works magazine.

Dickinson noted the 10-ton tandem truck the town intends to purchase is to replace an existing truck that is 20 years old and has about 500,000 miles on its odometer.

Dickinson considers specialty lighting In other business, Dickinson said he was looking into specialty light bulbs to be installed in the new streetlights erected this summer along Rte. 9 south of the village as part of the joint state-town Gateway project.

He said he was looking into “tricked out” programmable street lighting that had the ability to change colors and project shapes as

well as respond to music.

Complaints have been aired recently about the new LED lighting along the Rte. 9 corridor, and how the new streetlights, with their double heads, are exceedingly bright and produce considerable glare that could impair drivers’ vision.

Dickinson said the lighting will soon be dimmed somewhat, following the board’s resolution this month to have National Grid >> See LAKE GEORGE | pg. 17

LAKE GEORGE — Veterans Memorial Highway up Prospect Mountain will be open to the public this Saturday and Sunday at no charge in a gesture to honor those who served our nation.

In an early celebration of Veterans Day, the highway — normally closed down this time of year — will be open at no charge from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. both Nov. 5 and Nov. 6.

This is the second year of the free access to the highway during the first weekend of November. Last year, 2,040 people in 800-plus vehicles took the trip up the mountain in this weekend promotion.

Several volunteers will be along the 5-mile route greeting those who take the trip. Among them will be the three local veterans who successfully lobbied to keep the scenic highway open in this promotion — Denny Galloway, Dan Hurley and Phil Santasiero.

Adirondack Stampede Rodeo this weekend

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — Thrashing livestock, cowboys hungry for a national title, and nationally renowned entertainers are to fea-

tured this weekend at the upcoming 26th annual Adirondack Stampede Rodeo.

Set for 7:30 p.m. both Friday Nov. 4 and Saturday Nov. 5, the ever-popular rodeo, with nationally renowned cowboys and cowgirls competing alongside the best regional com-

petitors, is to be held in the Glens Falls Civic Center.

Events at the rodeo include bareback and saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, tie-down and team roping, barrel racing and bull riding, the latter a crowd favorite.

Mike Adams of Philadelphia Pa. is one the rodeo stars with national credentials who will be competing.

He’s won the First Frontier Circuit twice in bull riding, qualifying to compete in the Ram National Circuit Finals held in Kissimmee Fla. Last year, he finished fourth overall in the nation in bull riding.

This year, like many other cowboys booked for Adirondack Stampede, Adams will be seeking to earn points towards a national and world championship. He’ll be tangling with bulls on Friday night. At last year’s event, Adams won first place.

“The Adirondack Stampede is a great show in a real nice arena,” he said. “The rodeo fans are really pumped to be there, and it’s far

more exciting to ride with the energy and atmosphere like that.”

Ty Rumford of Hays, Kansas, will also be competing in Glens Falls this year to gain points toward a national title in steer wrestling and tie-down roping.

Rumford grew up in a family immersed in cowboy culture — many decades ago, his grandfather started a rodeo company.

Rumford, 26, launched his rodeo career as a freshman in high school, and by the time he was a senior, he was a state champion steer wrestler, and both a reserve state champion All-Around Cowboy and tie-down roper, winning many titles since.

This will be Rumford’s first time competing in Glens Falls, although he has been to the Painted Pony rodeo in Lake Luzerne several times. His brother Justin, a nationally renowned rodeo clown, entertained crowds there, and urged him to come to Painted Pony. >> See STAMPEDE | pg. 16

Nationally ranked cowboy Mike Adams rides a bull in the 2015 edition of the Adirondack Stampede Rodeo, which is to return to the Glens Falls Civic Center at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights. The shows features dozens of cowhands competing to earn both prize money and points toward national titles — as well as acclaimed rodeo entertainers.

Lake George church to offer respite for concerned voters Religious community sounds off on election woes Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — In an election year where 80 percent of Trump supporters and 62 percent of Clinton supporters fear the outcome of the presidential race, according to a recent USA Today poll, St. James Episcopal Church has a response to these voter woes: an election day prayer-a-thon.

You read that right: St. James, a church based in Lake George, will host a “Day of Prayer for Our Nation” on Nov. 8.

“To have a day of prayer for our nation is

something scripture instructs us to do,” said St. James Minister Jean DeVaty, who cited Jeremiah 29:7.

“Given the tenor of the election, the conflicts in the election, it seemed like a fitting thing to do,” said DeVaty.

According to a recent Associated Press poll, 70 percent of Americans say they feel frustrated about this year’s presidential election — and more than half feel helpless.

St. James joins a number of local churches attempting to offer voters solace this election season, either by keeping their doors open or by hosting a special Election Day dinner.

“Our church is always open,” said Pastor Tom Smith, of Westport Federated Church.

“On Election Day, we will be having an Elec-

Sing-a-long to benefit Operation Santa Claus scheduled Nov. 18 WARRENSBURG — An informal sing-along will be held at the Warrensburg Elementary School on Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 a.m.

The event will feature Hoddy Ovitt on guitar, Jim Davis on banjo and Janet Cousineau on the keyboard. Guy Swartwout will lead the audience in some all-time favorites such as “You Are My Sunshine,” “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” and more.

Admission is $6. All proceeds will benefit Warrensburg’s Operation Santa Claus, which provides clothes and food for children in need in the Warrensburg school district at Christmastime.

For more information, contact Florence LaPoint at 623– 3531.

Bob Stump Band in Concert at Arts Center BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts hosts the bluegrass group Bob Stump Band on Saturday, Nov.12 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20. For more information, visit adirondackarts.org or call 352-7715.

tion Day dinner to allow people to get out and vote and have a bite to eat afterward.”

When asked if he felt that Christians had a horse in this race, Smith said that “all citizens have a vote and a voice, but who can we trust and who can we vote for? A lot of people say that neither candidate represents their beliefs and their biblical beliefs.”

Rob McDougal, a Plattsburgh resident, had a different perspective.

When asked the same question, McDougal responded by saying that as a Christian, he had less representation, but as a conservative, he felt he did have a candidate.

“I’m not voting for a pastor, I’m voting for a president,” McDougal said.

This election is leading people to take a

more active role in voting and the government, according to DeVaty. “As Christians, we want a nation of peace.”

“What I like to see is people being respectful and discussing things calmly,” said DeVaty.

“Whoever wins the election, we all have to go forward.”

The “Day of Prayer for Our Nation” at the St. James Episcopal Church is slated for Nov. 8, with services at 8:30 a.m., noon and 5:30 p.m. Organizers say that St. James will be open “for private and corporate prayer as long as the polls are open.” The church will offer a pasta dinner following their evening prayer, courtesy of a freewill donation. For more information, visit stgameslg.org or call 668-2001.

DINNER POSTPONED: The Harvest Dinner, an annual function of the North River Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary, is postponing their Nov. 12 dinner due to construction. The planned addition will expand the truck bays and house.

A new kitchen is not expected to be completed in time for the annual dinner.

However, the Auxiliary is already planning a grand opening dinner for the community following the project’s completion. The new kitchen will make it possible for all future dinners to be served on the ground floor. The Auxiliary thanks the community for their understanding this year and especially for their support in years past.

Vietnam vets urged to receive hepatitis C testing Free clinic to be offered this weekend at American Legion Post 1619 in Morrisonville

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

MORRISONVILLE — The boot camp ritual was robotic in its precision.

Soldiers lined up for their vaccination shots. Needles were outdated, “jet guns” were in, and soldiers received high pressure blasts of an 18-drug cocktail before being shipped off to Vietnam.

The U.S. military saw the pneumatic devices as an exercise in modern efficiency.

“These guns were made for cattle originally,” said Danny Kaifetz, a U.S. Marine who served from 1970-72. “This thing hurt.”

The flinching led to ripped skin. Blood sprayed onto the gun, where it mixed with fluids from others. And kapow — the process repeated for the next guy, with no sterilization of the device between uses.

Now 40 years later, growing evidence suggests the guns, banned since the 1990s, acted as a vessel to transport diseases, including hepatitis C. “The VA is backing off and is even allowing disability claims,” Kaifetz said. “Everybody knows it’s this gun.”

‘PERFECT STORM’ Kaifetz, who serves as the medical officer for American Legion Post 1619, is spearheading an effort to get all Vietnamera veterans tested.

He called the factors that led to the mass spreading of the virus a “perfect storm.”

War, the draft, the lifestyle, culture — and the gun.

The 1960s and early 1970s was a period of high recreational drug use. The draft saw an eclectic cross section of the population being pulled in, including low-level criminals who signed up to U.S. Marines to wipe away their pending charges.

Hepatitis C was not discovered until 1989 — and testing wasn’t developed until 1992 — making it possible for those with the virus to donate blood for decades.

“God knows how many people were infected,” said Kaifetz.

“And this gun was the great equalizer.”

THE ILLNESS Hepatitis C is asymptomatic, which means it can sit dormant for decades.

If left untreated, it can destroy the liver and lead to death.

Symptoms of the disease can be flu-like and include fever,

Two free clinics are scheduled for Nov. 4 and 5 in Morrisonville.

The session marks the second event this year.

In February, Post 1619 became the first in the U.S. to offer tests. The turnout quadrupled the goal of 100 veterans, with 401 guys participating.

Five percent of Clinton County vets were tested.

This weekend, the goal is 500.

any feel that as this election nears the national nightmare will soon be over and life can get back to “normal”, if there is such a thing.

I like to be positive about things but I fear the nightmare may only get worse, regardless of who is elected.

We know both candidates are flawed. We know both have very high negatives with the public. And we know our population is split on just who is worse.

Therefore, I’m not sure either candidate will be the primary instigator of the new nightmare, but instead I think, like most nightmares, it will be self imposed.

We’ve allowed ourselves to paint the candidate of our choice as a saint and the candidate we opposed to be Satan himself/herself.

Unless we “let the election go” once it’s over, accept the new president as our Commander and Chief, we will make life even more of a nightmare by not accepting the wish of the majority.

We hear of some who have threatened to leave the country, some are threatening a civil war and others vow civil disobedience.

The reality is most candidates fail to deliver on their promises. So much of what you think either candidate will do may never come about or it won’t receive congressional approval, even if they try.

Our nation and her people are strong. We’ve survived poor administrations before, but if we allow ourselves to become further polarized, we will have allowed the politicians to change who we are, from a united nation to a country that no longer respects the rule of law.

It’s imperative that we the people never allow our politics or political leaders to pit us against each other, to the point of taking to the streets.

As citizens we must demand greater transparency in government and be more aware of fact from fiction.

We must demand a nonpartisan media or information center that helps keep us truly informed. It’s the only way we can keep an ever growing government completely in check.

If we as citizens fail in our civic role we risk great peril and uncertainty for future generations.

When you go to the polls next week choose wisely and may God Bless America.

OFA merger deal the right decision, but could have been more transparent

E

ssex County is coming under fire for their decision to merge two departments: The Office for the Aging will be folded into the Department of Public Health.

While the arrangement has been effective on a de facto basis since Jan. 1, the county is awaiting state approval to unlock next year’s funding stream.

Lawmakers voted during last year’s budget discussions to eliminate the OFA director position. An equivalent has been crafted, and will fall under the purview of the public health director.

Doing so will save $100,000 annually and create efficiencies between the departments, said county brass.

The state-mandated aging agency runs several programs for seniors, including meal delivery, transportation, nutrition programs and caregiver services.

Critics, including the crowd that packed Monday’s public hearing, have argued that the merger will result in a loss of services; that the county’s aging demographics require a cabinet-level position to ensure their interests, and projected cost savings will not materialize.

As county officials craft next year’s budget, opponents are trying to kill the deal, and are putting lawmakers on the hotseat to rescind their decision.

The county counters that efficiency is the new normal under the state’s fiscal climate, and that there is no evidence to prove a reduction in elder care, and that the streamlined operation will actually result in better services.

We agree the merger is the right decision, but the county went about it the wrong way.

The OFA Advisory Council has said they have been shut out of the year-long merger process. They said county officials did not respond to their inquiries or attend their meetings. And in order to receive info regarding the merger, they were forced to file Freedom of Information Law requests.

Bolstering their argument, the state OFA has chastised the county for not keeping them in the loop.

The county has not disputed that narrative, instead offering a parochial “father knows best approach.”

As such, the subsequent controversy is of their own making because they allowed an environment of distrust and suspicion to unnecessarily fester.

With better communication, this all could have been avoided.

We see no reason why county officials chose to allegedly freeze the advisory council out of the loop considering there is nothing untoward here.

Facts speak volumes.

We agree with the county that the onus is on critics to prove services will be slashed.

So far, they have not: No staffers have lost their jobs. There is no indication services will be reduced. No seniors have gone on record with complaints. In fact, services to the elderly population have actually increased by 5 percent over the past year, as demonstrated in the formal report submitted to the state.

This is clear evidence that the new arrangement is working.

We know the folks at the county public health department, and we have full confidence that they will remain committed to providing the care that seniors deserve.

Another overlooked aspect is the looming disaster facing the county’s emergency services squads.

To combat the declining volunteers that run local squads, the county has redeployed resources from the OFA to combat the problem, which they have frequently referred to a crisis, and have even wrangled state brass to address the issue.

Essex County is making headway on those fronts, conducting surveys of local squads, opening a dialogue with state officials and entertaining the idea of a countywide EMT service.

This is an issue that is equally vital to seniors, and the county’s aging population.

The private sector frequently streamlines services, and government should follow pursuit.

Seniors are now wielding the merger issue over lawmakers like a sword, and they are faced with a tough decision: Rescind the decision, or stay the course at the risk of political fallout.

The county is absolutely correct in their decision to merge the departments.

It is unfortunate that they could not be more transparent in doing so.

ForÊ theÊ greaterÊ good To the Editor: A brief history: There is a road in Thurman that has been a point of contention. A family who owns large back woods acreage abutting the road claims it is a private road. The town lawyers maintain that it is a public road and the board voted to reconfirm the town road status.

Currently, county and state agencies have been receiving multiple and daily complaints, ongoing for the past year or more, about the progress of Thurman’s capital projects. Interestingly, these call came from a few individuals including the patriarch of this same family who is also a sitting board member.

His repeated phone calls have significantly delayed the completion of these projects since county and state regulatory agencies by law must respond to complaints before with appropriate reviews before work can continue.

At a recent board meeting the Supervisor announced that these delays have

cost the town thousands of dollars in legal fees, town employee time, repeated documentation, etc. and that it may necessitate a tax override for the next budget.

Immediately following the meeting the matriarch of this same family approached two board members (Gail Seaman and Jey Youngblood) asking if we were now sorry for the position had taken on the status of this road.

I find the implications of this question to be offensive! It suggests that conducting town business for the good of the whole town had been obstructed by this family because of a vote that did not go their way. So be it if the whole town pays higher taxes for their obstructionism!

The citizens of Thurman should be proud to have board members who will make hard decisions based on facts, law, the greater good, and not on favoritism, wealth and self-interest.

ENDORSEMENT POLIcy

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. 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 en-

dorsement. 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. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

OFAÊ mergerÊ shouldÊ beÊ rescinded To the Editor: Essex County legislators plan to merge the Office for the Aging (OFA) with the Public Health Department to save $100,000. Ticonderoga Area Seniors (TAS) are concerned and do not want this merger to take place.

TAS feel they will best be served by one director for the Office for the Aging to insure that the needs of Seniors are met now and in the future. They fear a loss of monies, services, and benefits at a time when more “Baby Boomers” are swelling their ranks and will require additional assistance.

The merger cuts a full time leadership from the Office for the Aging and replaces it with a director who already has four other major departments to manage.

One director to manage OFA is the best solution for the seniors. At stake are 18 programs OFA manages which include meal delivery, transportation, nutrition programs and care givers services etc., to ensure seniors remain independent, healthy and happy.

Do the Essex County Supervisors have to play this game to save $100,000 at the expense of the health and well being of our seniors? They should have consulted with the state Department of Health or state Office for the Aging first before initiating this move to merge departments.

Our democratic government is first and foremost for the people, then the town level, county level, and the state level. Why did Essex County go ahead and make the move to merge two departments without first checking with the people through community forums, a public hearing, and the state Departments of the Aging and Health?

We the people want to provide for our Senior Citizens in the best way we can. The Essex County Supervisors should rescind the resolution to merge the Office for the Aging and the Public Health Department.

The Seniors of Essex County should have their own independent cabinetlevel department. The Essex County Supervisors will vote on Monday, Nov. 7 on the proposed resolution to either merge the two departments or to rescind the merger.

Contact your supervisor — leave a message on the phone; or better yet, talk to your supervisor to express concerns about the merger. We the people want optimum services for the quality of life and well being of our senior citizens.

PutinÕ sÊ responseÊ toÊ HillaryÊ ClintonÊ To the Editor: Frank Pagano’s letter makes good sense, really, calling Clinton on illfounded statements.

Except for his second and last paragraphs.

Given Mr. Pagano’s appeal for proper use of reasoning in drawing conclusions, characterizations like “recklessly provoking a nuclear-armed adversary”; “a conflict with Russia” and “the ad hominem attack on Russia was irresponsible and dangerous” are a bit of the kettle calling the pot black, yes?

Putin is supposed to watch Clinton and be thinking, “Oh, I am so mad at her talking nasty about us: I’m going to get even with her by dropping a bomb somewhere?”

EssexÊ CountyÊ tetheringÊ lawÊ designedÊ toÊ protectÊ wellbeingÊ of Ê animals To the Editor: Please except this letter as a response to the recent article favoring the “Tethering Law” titled “Essex County Needs a Tethering Law.” I would like to express my strong support in passing such a law to protect the animals in Essex County.

These are not laws to punish owners or to try to make things difficult. The animal’s health and wellbeing is the number one priority.

Passing such a law in this county can give law enforcement and animal advocates the opportunity to work together to help well deserving and well-meaning owners make a better life for their pets.

The Humane Society of the United States reports that tethering can be bad for an animal because dogs are social animals who need interaction with humans or animals, and this type of confinement can damage their physical and psychological health.

As a result, a continuously confined animal can become neurotic, unhappy, anxious and often aggressive. They end up with physical problems from collars, have more frequent problems related to insect bites and parasites.

Plus, they’re at high risk of dangers from being stuck on a chain like entanglement, strangulation, or being stocked and attached by dogs, wildlife, or people.

These dogs can suffer from dehydration by overturned water bowls and may not have adequate shelter during below zero weather and snow storms or humid days.

For these reasons and many more, I support the tethering law, which will be a wonderful process for all to work together and better the lives of the animals in our county, and help to educate people on how to be a good pet owner and what an animal really needs to live a happy life.

This law is welcome as a positive change to our community and not something negative that people must be afraid of — it will forge positive relationships working together to help animals and people together.

To the Editor: Another program year has ended, a new one is to begin, and our club would like to take this time to say thank you to everyone who supports our fundraisers.

With your assistance, we are able to provide scholarship programs, the backpack program, Easter egg hunt, the senior luncheon, Christmas activities for children and much more.

Our club does not own a building; every dollar raised goes back into the community in one way or another. Over the years, some of our contributions include playground equipment and a gazebo in Bicentennial Park, playground equipment at the Ticonderoga Middle School, the bath house at the local beach and park benches in the town of Hague.

To the Editor, Ted Wilson, Law Clerk to Supreme Court Justice Stan L. Pritzker has published a document suggesting to be a publication of the Office of Court Administration. This alleged document is a fabrication to include his name in case dispositions.

He continues to publish this information on line, orally and advertising as demonstrative of his qualification for Judicial Candidacy. Use of Judge Pritzker's numbers is a misrepresentation of fact. With respect to case statistics OCA states “This office maintains case filings and dispositions statistics.... by Judge and County” The New York State Court of Appeals has written: “Distortions and misrepresentations have no place in campaigns for judicial office. Judicial candidates for judicial office are expected to be, and must be, above such tactics. It is especially important for judicial candidates to be truthful because judges are called upon to administer oaths and are sworn to uphold the law and seek the truth.”

And so I must ask: on 10/13/2016 a Post Star reporter wrote that the” State Office of Court Administration...does not track case statistics by court attorneys...” Why is it not newsworthy that the candidate, Ted Wilson, who wishes us to evaluate his credentials, by paid and interent Advertising, does not correct the record by continuing to publish these 'distortions and misrepresentations' as if they were a statistic compiled by a state agency which the Post Star reported it is not.”

It is therefore very easy for me and I commend you to vote for Rob Smith for Warren County Family Court Judge for multitude of reasons, including this most glaring one.

To the Editor: I have happily lived in the town of Thurman for 21 years. I have attended most town board meetings and find Supervisor Wood and board members Shepler and Seaman to be honest, intelligent, caring and dedicated to Thurman.

I was a deputy town clerk for over six years. The former clerk, Cynthia Hyde, treated me well and was helpful to all who came to our office. But over the years, she was constantly very critical of fellow employees. The last couple years, she spent many hours doing this by phone and to those coming to the town hall. This resulted in inaccurate minutes and discrepancies in records and money handled by our office. I was put on an on-call basis because I didn’t agree with her rants, and that ended my time as a deputy.

At a recent “Meet the Candidates” night, Keith Parent, who frequently writes letters, was very rude. He dragged his chair around, turning his back on the candidate speaking, which resulted in a loud noise. It seems that his letters and actions may be revenge for not getting hired for a job with the Highway Department. Board member Eddy was also rude and disrespectful at this event, as he has been at many board meetings.

Living and Dying in America Glenn Mollette

Columnist

W

e are fortunate to live and die in America.

Billions of people have died from starvation in third world countries. Millions have died in war torn places and never knew a moment of real peace during their lives. So many live and die in harsh nations where daily life is mere survival. We are blessed to be born and to live out our lives in America.

Often in life we ask ourselves, “Why in the heck do I care about anything going on in the world?”

Stuff like Presidential elections, taxes, jobs, border security and wars in the Middle East. The list of world junk is almost endless.

Last week we buried my little 53-year-old niece. We watched her grow up, marry, battle a life of diabetes and eventually die from kidney failure and cancer. I didn’t write a column last week because who really cares about writing when you’re standing in the funeral home and at a graveside?

We buried my wife’s father about a year ago who died suddenly. The sudden death of such a good man and friend was painful. I’ve stood at the grave a lot of my life. My sons and I buried my first wife who was their mother. The pain and grief cut our hearts out. A few years before that my wife and I buried a little stillborn baby that ripped us apart in grief. Through the years I’ve stood at the grave of both of my parents and officiated about 400 funerals for friends and fellow church members.

In the middle of pain and grief we don’t really care about anything else.

Who can focus on the environment, fossil fuels and worry about Social Security when we are bleeding grief and sorrow? I can’t and I doubt that most people, if anyone can.

We stand at the grave and we analyze our lives knowing that soon or maybe in the next five, ten or at best 30 or so years our lives will be over and our bodies will be six feet under the dirt. Our hope is that we will be in a much better place, removed from our bodies and cared for by a loving God. Thus, knowing that our lives are so short what are we to do?

Keep living. Life is a gift. Don’t fret the small stuff. It’s all really small stuff. Try to love people and accept people where they are and not where you think they should be. Forgive people and move forward. Don’t carry grudges. Make the most of every day. Don’t be timid about living life and don’t live your life based on what you think everybody else wants you to do. You may not believe in an afterlife. What if there is an afterlife, meeting God, eternity and all that stuff? Do you really want to chance not trying to be ready for something that will be so much longer than this world?

Finally, we should try to leave this world a better place. This brings us back to Presidential elections, taking care of our planet, jobs, border security, terrorism, equality and life around us. Little people are following us. Who we vote for and how we leave this world is so important.

We only get a few years and there is some reason we are here. Make a contribution. Vote, keep our country safe, help us stay free and keep working to keep America - America. A place where people want to live and a country where we can die knowing that we were blessed to live briefly in such a great land.

EyE ON THE ARTS

Creating stable communities

I

n “Palm Sunday,” Kurt Vonnegut wrote that young people should use their lives to do “the most daring thing,” which he says is “to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

In an era where technology can be a near-obsessive draw, I would argue that one of the most important facets of local sustainability is us young people not only contributing to that Doctor Who subreddit online, but the community around us.

You may wonder sometimes, after reading through a newspaper’s event listings, how attending the opening reception of an art exhibit could matter.

It matters because it not only has the ability to enrich your life, but your community at large.

It gives local lawmakers something to point to when they want to grant additional funding for a certain project — with regular attendance to gallery openings and concerts, they can say that there is a market in your area, and residents have a clear interest in arts and entertainment.

It gives you an opportunity to connect with people who you may never meet otherwise. Even if you are not an artist, it gives you the opportunity to meet them and connect with perspectives beyond your social circle.

The list of benefits are seemingly endless.

There are a number of events happening around the region this week.

Here are just a few: On Nov. 4, the Upper Jay Art Center will host musician Adrian Legg at 8 p.m. Organizers say that Legg is a “virtuoso guitar legend.” Tickets are $15 per person. For more information, visit upperjayartcenter.org.

The Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh will open two new exhibits on Nov. 4. Artists Bobby Ziemba and Kimberly Provost will both open exhibits with a free reception at 5:30 p.m. Ziemba is a photographer with a “half century” of experience, organizer say. Provost is a pastel painter.

The Strand will also host an adult dance workshop on Nov. 9. Ages 17 and up. Tickets are $20. For more information on these events, visit strandcenter.org.

Plattsburgh’s ROTA Studio and Gallery will host Totally Gnarly, Doomf**k and Finkle & Einhorn at 7 p.m. Tickets are on a $3-10 sliding scale — attendees are encouraged to pay what they can afford.

For more information, visit facebook.com/rotagallery.

The 6th Annual “It’s in the Details” seminar will be held at Fort Ticonderoga on Nov. 5-6. Organizers say that this weekend event is intended for “collectors and people with an interest in learning more about objects of the 18th century and what they can tell us about history.” Registration is required. For more information, visit fortticonderoga.org.

The Whallonsburg Grange will screen “Eye in the Sky” on Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. The film follows a lieutenant general — played by Alan Rickman— and a colonel, played by Helen Mirren, as they face the effects of a top-secret a drone operation. Tickets are $6. For more information, call 963-4170 or

Election officials cite fraud safeguards, term limit changes

By Thom Randall

Vote counts are secure; fraud unlikely

WARREN COUNTY — The two election commissioners reminded area voters this week about resolutions that will be considered locally — while they voiced assurances that local citizens’ votes will be tabulated with a high degree of accuracy and security.

The ballots for the Nov. 8 general election in three Warren County towns will contain propositions to lengthen terms for specific local offices — all of them calling for a change from two-year terms to four year terms.

In Stony Creek, a proposition calls for changing the term for Town Clerk post, and a companion proposition to change the term for the Highway Superintendent.

In Queensbury, one proposal is on the ballot to alter the terms for both of the above offices, and another calls for changing the term for the town board positions.

The only contested local race is in Thurman, for two town board seats — with two candidates seeking each post. See elsewhere in this issue for information on the candidates and their qualifications and objectives.

The hotly contested race for U.S. President — which has included Donald Trump’s claims of potential voter fraud and reports that election returns could be vulnerable to computer hacking, Warren County election officials voiced assurances votes cast in the county are valid and results are tabulated and reported accurately.

County Democratic Election Commissioner Beth McLaughlin said Tuesday that appropriate safeguards are in place to assure the validity of voting.

She said that the county’s 80 voting machines, 45 of which will be deployed on Election Day, are stand-alone units that are entirely independent from computers that are connected to the Internet — so they aren’t vulnerable to being hacked. Also, all voting data collected is stored on a self-contained server.

County Republican Election Commissioner Mary Beth Casey also said Tuesday that the county has highly secure voting equipment and procedures, and has extensive methods

thom@suncommunitynews.com

of preventing fraud.

“We have a bottom-up system — everything is done in-house here in Warren County — the state is not the overseeing dictating down,” she said. “We test and proof our equipment and ballots before our machines are deployed.”

New York State election officials were smart, she said, in delaying their decisions on which machines would approved for use in the state, because they could assess the pitfalls other states encountered with the various models and procedures they adopted.

Also, vote totals sent into the state by county election boards are verified several times by local officials, as well as confirmed by a paper backup, so digital hijacking is virtually impossible.

Also, New York State election law calls for cards to be sent out each year to registered voters, to determine where people live, and where they vote.

If citizens registered to vote don’t either respond within two years to election officials — or vote in an election during that time — their names are purged from the rolls of eligible voters, she said.

Such a process virtually eliminates the spectre of people assuming the names of dead people and casting votes — as Trump has claimed.

Warren County also takes such an effort to assure vote validity a lot further.

The county election officials follow a longstanding tradition of conducting extra extensive research, day-to-day, to make sure people who cast votes are eligible and are doing so under their own name.

Employees of the local board of elections scrutinize local newspapers and keep in contact with town clerks, hospitals and the state department of health to determine people who has died and should be removed from voter rolls, Casey said.

In addition, the election inspectors manning the polling sites across the county during elections — representing both major parties — are alert and knowlegable, she said.

“We’ve got sharp-eyed election inspectors,” she said. “They take action when they see a face they don’t recognize — They know everybody and their brother — they know who moved away, they know who died — Our inspectors are the very best.”

West jailed, facing manslaughter and vehicular homicide counts thom@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY — The Lake George man law enforcement officials blame for a July hit-and-run boat crash on Lake George that killed an 8-year-old girl was arraigned in Warren County Court Oct. 26 — and he was jailed after he couldn’t raise bail.

Appearing before county Judge John Hall, Alexander M. West, 24, plead Not Guilty to 12 criminal charges, including criminally negligent homicide, vehicular manslaughter, vehicular assault, manslaughter and possession of cocaine — indictments handed up Oct. 24 by a Warren County grand jury.

West is accused of operating a boat recklessly while impaired with drugs and alcohol in a July 25 collision in which Charlotte McCue was killed and her mother, Courtney McCue, was seriously injured.

The indictment consists of eight felony charges, three misdemeanors and a violation. They are in addition to the earlier felony charges of leaving the scene of an accident, filed against him when he was arrested in July.

Warren County Judge John Hall decided to raise West’s bail — which initially was $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond — up to the sum of $100,000 cash or $300,000 bond, based on the new, far more serious charges.

After the arraignment, West was handcuffed and taken to Warren County Jail. As of late Monday, West was still in jail because sufficient bail had not been raised on his behalf, Warren County Sheriff Bud York said.

The McCues, of Carlsbad Cal., were passengers along with five family members near Cramer Point on a leisurely evening cruise July 25 in Charlotte’s grandfather’s 28-foot antique wooden boat, when a power boat piloted by West hit the wooden boat and flew up and over the middle of it where the girl and her mother were riding, police said. The girl died from her injuries, and her mother was hospitalized.

Police have said that despite the collision and resulting screams from passengers in the antique wooden boat, West immediately started up his stalled, damaged craft — and he and his four passengers fled the scene, parked the boat at a dock, summoned a ride, and West hid from police overnight, authorities said.

Police have obtained a video recording of the boat crash taken by a lakeshore homeowner’s security camera, as well as accounts from witnesses who described the mayhem stemming from the crash and recalled conversations among the passengers in West’s boat after the group fled the scene, according to court documents.

In county court Wednesday, West’s lawyer Cheryl Coleman of Albany argued against increasing the bail, saying her client was not likely to flee because of his family ties.

However, Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan countered that West was indeed a flight risk, because the evidence against him was so solid, and that the charges he faces include leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

“The very nature of this charge is him not stopping and doing what he should have done under the law,” Hogan said.

After West was led out of court and escorted to jail by state court police, Coleman told reporters that the increased bail was excessive as she cited a “circus atmosphere” she blamed on police and

prosecutors.

“This is an accident, folks, and my client lives with his parents and they’re mortgaged up to the hilt,” she said. Coleman predicted that West would eventually be proven innocent.

“There are a million factual and legal issues in this case, folks, and everybody is going to be really surprised,” she said, adding that she’d be fighting the charges vigorously on West’s behalf.

“Trust me, you are hearing less than half the story here,” Coleman continued, declining to provide details. “I can’t wait to defend this.”

District Attorney Kate Hogan was not available for comment after the arraignment.

In August, the four passengers in West’s boat were arrested on misdemeanor charges accusing them of lying to police and impeding the investigation.

Authorities have said that prior to the crash, West and his friends had for about 8 hours attended Log Bay Day, an annual mass boat party renowned for its drinking, substance abuse and rowdy behavior, according to witnesses’ statements and videos obtained from people who attended.

Blood samples taken from the West the morning following the crash indicate he had taken drugs before he was apprehended, Warren County Sheriff Bud York said months ago. He said toxicology tests of blood samples taken about 14 hours after the crash showed that West had ingested three different classes of drugs at some point before his parents brought him to police the following morning. York had said that two of the drugs indicated in the blood tests were illegal.

Testing << Continued from | p. 5

Kaifetz has already been recruited to go on the road.

And that success is exactly why he said it’s imperative for local veterans to get tested this weekend.

“If you don’t make this clinic, there’s no guarantee we’ll hold another one in the spring,” said Kaifetz, who likened the clinic to seeing a rock band in their garage before they became huge.

“It’s imperative they show up now before our own success draws this away from local testing into statewide and national testing.”

TREATMENT Testing is just the first step.

Twenty percent of veterans are able to clear the virus on their own: A positive result, Kaifetz said, doesn’t mean they have an active viral load, but rather that the patient has been exposed to it.

Those found positive will not be left to dangle: Veterans will receive a list of VA and private options, including services provided by CVPH, which has an in-house hepatitis C clinic.

There is hope, Kaifetz said.

After all, he is a survivor. When he was diagnosed in 2010, Kaifetz said he had one of the highest viral loads ever recorded.

Doctors said he wasn’t a candidate for treatment. Furthermore, he recalled, he lived too far from a medical center. After

www.suncommunitynews.com

a series of consultations at the VA, Kaifetz was sent home and told to get his life in order.

“I did,” Kaifetz said. “But it’s the onset of a very depressing forecast, and you’re starting to feel real sick besides the mental depression.

“It was quite a shock.”

At the time, treatment largely consisted of a grueling sixmonth regimen: a daily shot of interferon alongside a pill called riboveron.

But the side effects were debilitating, Kaifetz said. Muscle pains and fatigue joined more grim effects, like the possibility of blindness, stroke, heart attack… even death.

At 30 percent, success rates were low, with a high recurrence rate.

“They were draining every drop of blood out of these guys.”

Kaifetz counts himself lucky to be the beneficiary of recent medical advances that have largely regelated that regimen to history’s dustbin.

Sovaldi, a new drug, has a 90 percent cure rate and contains few side effects. Once cleared, it is for life.

“I was cured in 5.5 weeks,” Kaifetz said. “I went through the whole 12-week regimen.”

The downside, however, is the price. While the drug costs $1 to manufacture in India, manufacturers charge the VA $115 per pill, making the total price tag $115,000 for a 12week regimen.

The cost prematurely bankrupted the VA pharmacy, which ran dry last October. While the VA received $1.5 billion for

DINING

the fiscal year 2017, the drug is still being rationed.

At the current price per treatment, it would cost more than $4.4 billion in taxpayer dollars to treat the 107,000 veterans who are untreated or undiagnosed, Stars and Stripes reported.

But every vet can at least be diagnosed.

‘GIVING BACK’ Despite the progress in diagnosing and combating the disease, roadblocks remain.

Vietnam veterans are generally mistrusting of government and tend not to use VA clinics, Kaifetz said.

Many also equate the disease to drug abuse, and are wary of getting tested lest they get tarred as an addict.

And still others say they receive physical examinations every year, which means surely doctors would have caught something.

But hepatitis C is not included in the usual raft of testing.

“This is a very specific laboratory test looking only for this,” Kaifetz said.

Kaifetz said he wants a veteran to wake up on Saturday morning and tell his family, ‘I’m going to get tested for hep C at the Legion.’”

And if he refuses, then perhaps his wife can push him.

Deer hunting, he said, can wait.

“I’m committed to giving as much back as I can.”

GET TESTED: Nov. 4 and 5 at the American Legion Post 1619 in Morrisonville. Free for all veterans. For more informa-

T

he Johnsburg Historical Society has installed a new exhibit featuring North Creek’s notorious figure from the nineteenth century, Thomas C. Durant. The display can be viewed in the Town of Johnsburg Library.

Durant’s convoluted career of stock manipulation, profiteering, railroad ownership, land acquisition and financial scheming is outlined in the exhibit, which includes historical photographs. From his degree at Albany Medical College to his success in bringing the railroad to North Creek in 1871, Dr. Durant was a master at amassing wealth and land. For a time.

After a brief career in surgical medicine, Durant entered the business world as director of the New York City grain exporting company, Durant, Lathrop and Company. This experience led him to discover the need for inland transportation, and also led to his interest in the railroad industry as a means of acquiring personal wealth.

He served as a broker for the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad, then was commissioned to manage construction for the new Mississippi and Missouri Railroad. Linking the M&M Railroad to the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad was a wooden railroad bridge, the first to cross the Mississippi River. After a steamboat hit the bridge, a lawsuit aimed at having the bridge removed.

Private attorney Abraham Lincoln was hired to defend the bridge by Durant and the Rock Island line. This relationship with Lincoln aided Durant in 1864 when Durant’s new company, the Union Pacific, was granted land privileges to construct the first transcontinental railroad.

Eventually Durant’s Union Pacific Railroad, arriving from the East, met the Central Pacific Railroad, arriving from the West, and the country was joined by railroad on May 10, 1869 at Promontory Point, Utah.

One of the most famous financial scandals of the time was orchestrated by Durant in 1864. The business venture was named Credit Mobilier, a company that was riddled with swindling, corruption, stock manipulation, and secrecy. As the money-grabbing scheme became exposed, Durant was

www.suncommunitynews.com

fired from his position at Credit Mobilier in 1867, and soon after was fired from his position at Union Pacific by President Ulysses S. Grant.

Meanwhile the indefatigable Durant had been lured to the Adirondack region of New York State by hopes of wealth from iron ore, minerals and logs, which could be transported by railroad out of the mountains. In 1863 he received a charter to establish the Adirondack Railroad Company. Durant had bought up property along the proposed route to Ogdensburgh, and eventually acquired over one million acres, about one-fifth of the entire Adirondacks.

The line to Ogdensburgh was never completed, but the 60 mile line from Saratoga to North Creek was finished in 1871.

In that year Durant purchased the elegant North Creek mansion known as “The Gables,” with its view of the railroad and the Hudson River.

Financial woes continued to haunt Durant, and intensified with the Panic of 1873. Funding for his railroad disappeared, and the railroad stopped just beyond North Creek. Much of the schemer’s wealth was lost in the aftermath of the 1873 financial panic.

As Durant’s transcontinental railroad had transformed the country, Durant’s Adirondack Railroad transformed North Creek. At first the Adirondack Railroad transported natural resources from the mountains and supplies to labor camps, and later led to the establishment of Great Camps owned by wealthy industrialists, and still later brought the ski trains from Schenectady and New York City. During World War II the railroad shipped titanium, essential in airplane production, and magnetite for the production of iron and steel. Today the Saratoga and North Creek Railroad has established North Creek as a tourist destination.

On Oct. 6, 1885 Durant died at his North Creek home, “The Gables.” Seventy-four years later, the landmark structure burned to the ground on March 22, 1959. One North Creek resident, six years old at the time, remembers the scene vividly. His parents had taken him to watch the excitement. Fire hoses were trained on the building, and still the house was being consumed by flames. But even in the midst of the allconsuming roaring fire, icicles were forming on the building’s exterior. “How can there be ice?” he wondered.

Stampede << Continued from | p. 2

Last year, Rumford won the First Frontier Circuit Finals championship in tie-down roping, qualifying for the National Circuit Finals.

Rumford will be competing Friday night in the Stampede, and working Saturday night in the arena as a “pickup man,” helping keep the raging bulls and steers away from cowboys as they finish their rides, he said.

“I hear the Adirondack Stampede is a really neat rodeo that showcases a lot of talent,” Rumford said.

It’s also the first time at the Adirondack Stampede for Tyler Waltz of Martin Ten., who two years ago was a member of the University of Tennessee at Martin rodeo team that won the 2014 College National Finals Rodeo championship.

Since then, he’s won regional and circuit titles, and he’s now seeking the national championship in bareback riding, Waltz said Tuesday.

“There’s not much competition going on this time of year, so I’m coming to Glens Falls to win points to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas,” he said.

Among the local cowboys competing will be Olin Ellsworth, 35, of Warrensburg, who has been wrestling steers and roping calves in the Adirondack Stampede since 1999 when he was a senior at Warrensburg High School. His family members, including Wayde and Lee Ellsworth and Dave and Ben Reynolds, have been mainstays in the Stampede for many years.

In Friday night’s rodeo, Olin Ellsworth will be steer wrestling, his specialty, and as well as calf roping. Saturday night, he’ll be team roping. Ellsworth, a solid competitor on the First Frontier Circuit which extends from Maine to Virginia, said he was looking forward to this year’s action.

“The Stampede is great for families,” he said. “It’s real American entertainment, which is getting lost these days.”

years old, Ganzel has won the world championship in her sport, which features such stunts as the awe-inspiring “death drag” and Roman riding. Miss Rodeo New York Lauren Jayquay is also expected to make an appearance at the Stampede.

Entertainment also features renowned rodeo clown Clint “Wolfey” Selvester of Sacremento, Cal. whose comedic capers are nationally renowned.

Four thousand people are expected to cheer on the competitors in this year’s event, which features instant-replays of the action on video screens.

The action will be narrated in an entertaining and informative manner by Roger Mooney of Ellijay, Georgia. Roger has an impressive resume, which includes announcing the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

The fun extends past the competition — a Roundup Party will be held Friday and Saturday after the rodeo in Heritage Hall where fans can meet and greet the cowhands and enjoy music, dancing, food and beverages.

Saturday’s rodeo is preceded with a two-hour block party from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Civic Center’s parking lot, and it will be revving up the crowd with all of the above plus games, giveaways and line dancing.

But that’s not all.

A kickoff party for the rodeo weekend is also set for 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday Nov. 3 in the Texas Roadhouse in Queensbury where fans can meet up with the rodeo performers and some of the cowhands.

Stampede event organizer Shana Graham, co-owner of Painted Pony Ranch, has competed in barrel racing at Adirondack Stampede since she was nine years old. This year, her children Gabrielle, 10, and Alexis, 8, will be performing in exhibition riding. Graham said she was looking forward to this weekend’s action.

“The Stampede is a great community event, and it keeps western heritage alive in the region,” she said.

For more information call Graham at 796-3778 and leave a message. To reserve tickets, contact the Civic Center Box Office at 798-0202.

Two board seats in Thurman up for election Nov. 8 Four candidates vying for slots

Public offices now held: Member, Thurman Town Board; liaison to the Thurman Youth Commission; active member of the Warren County Youth Bureau.

Qualifications for Office: Serving on the town board, I have acquired experience with local issues. As an independent thinker, I am able to form my own opinions. I am a team player who is willing to listen and communicate with all. I have a background in government accounting. Being retired, I have the time required for the position and am willing to work together as a cohesive board. My community service includes volunteer work with the Warrensburg town baseball, softball and football programs.

Leading campaign issues: Salt and water quality issues for some of our residents; the town board working together as a unit.

What I’d do if elected: Work together with the other board members to finalize the salt abatement project and assure those who are eligible for a new water source will receive it in a timely manner. I’d like to revitalize the Thurman Youth Program and work with all the citizens of this great town!

THURMAN — On Nov. 8, local voters will be selecting who will serve in two town board positions. Four candidates are seeking the two posts in two separate special elections to fill unexpired terms.

Former Thurman Town Clerk Cynthia Hyde is challenging incumbent town board member Susan Shepler for a threeyear seat.

Shepler has held her council position since January, when she was appointed to the board after the resignation of former board member Dan Smith.

Kathy Templeton, a former Adirondack Journal correspondent, is challenging incumbent Gail Seaman, a registered nurse, for a one-year seat. Seaman has served as town board member since Jan. 2013.

In Nov. 2013, Seaman was elected to a board seat that had been vacated by Bob Hitchcock, who took on the position after the passing of his wife, Becky Hitchcock.

Last November, Seaman ran for re-election to a full fouryear term, and the election resulted in a tie with former Postmaster Joan Harris. Since a tie vote was considered a “failure to elect,” Seaman remained in her seat until the next election, as the board did not choose to hold a special election due to its expense.

Town justice Sheila Flanagan is running unopposed in the Nov. 8 election to retain her post as town justice.

Town of Thurman candidate profiles:

Thurman Town Board Unexpired one-year term Kathy Templeton (Ind.) challenger

I have organized the Jack Wax Party fundraiser for several years. I volunteer my time and services around the region. I work well with others because I am a good listener and problem solver.

Leading campaign issues: Salt contamination remediation; white space grant reimbursement; addressing irresponsible fiscal management; inability of board to work together and revocation of privilege of the floor. Many of these issues could be discussed at board meetings in detail, informing the public of the progress and including them in the solution, if we only listened to them.

What I’d do if elected: I will listen your concerns and research them. I will bring these concerns and my research back to the board meetings for discussion. I will work to reinstate a structured privilege of the floor. I will work to have open discussions at board meetings so citizens are informed at all stages.

Leading campaign issues: Completion of salt remediation project; maintaining services for town residents while working within the tax cap; identifying and securing sources of funding for updating and improving town infrastructure; making sure all residents have a voice in town decisions (not just a vocal few).

What I’d do if elected: I will continue to represent and consider all of the residents — and will strive to make the correct decision, not just the popular ones. I will help make sure the salt remediation project is completed and will seek appropriate grant funding for improving town infrastructure.

Top issues in this campaign: Salt contamination, white space problems, ineffective board meetings, fiscal mismanagement, board member inequality and the squelching of the voice of the taxpayers.

What I’d do if elected: I will be a board member with a voice that will represent you in the manner that you deserve; your voice is also important — I will listen. My goal is to bring teamwork, respect, transparency and integrity back to Thurman board meetings.

Dickinson added that the two attended school together.

“He was a great friend and fine citizen, and we’re all going to miss him,” he said, noting that Stannard was also an outstanding basketball player in high school.

In other matters, Board members noted that vehicles have been traveling far too fast

along Rte. 9, particularly where Gateway project construction is ongoing.

“Cars are flying through there,” Dickinson said. “It’s an accident waiting to happen.”

Dickinson noted that the board had asked state DOT officials to substantially reduce the 45 miles-per-hour speed on the roadway, but the state declined to reduce it as much as requested — and a compromise of 40 miles per hour was agreed upon.

“When this project is complete, we’ll be having the Warren County Sheriff ’s deputies monitor speed there,” Dickinson said.

Warriors attain L.G.’s 150th win in soccer, advance to Section II finals

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LANSINGBURGH — With a second-half offensive surge, the Lake George Varsity Girls Soccer team advanced to the Section II Class C Championship finals game Oct 29 by defeating Mechanicville 2-0.

It was a hard-fought defensive battle — Mechanicville had only lost two games in 2016 before Saturday.

The Warriors’ win set them up for a Sectional showdown against Schoharie on Wednesday Nov. 2, and it retained their No 2 ranking in the state for Class C. With the key victory, the Warriors not only extended their undefeated season record to 19-0, but the girls soccer team achieved a remarkable benchmark for the school — it was the 150th win in the sport for Lake George High.

Against Mechanicville, Goaltender Rachel Shambo demonstrated her agility and resolve by blocking 14 attempts at goal, accomplishing a shutout with the help of the other steely Warrior defenders. Her sharp athletic instincts resulted in Lake George’ 13th shutout for 2016.

Scoring the points were Freshman Gabriella Marchello for the first goal at nearly an hour into the game — and less than two minutes later, Lacey Cormie took a Sarah Kohls pass and

kicked a rifle shot past a half-dozen opponents defending the Mechanicville net for the Warriors’ second goal.

It was the second time in the Warriors’ 2016 Sectional campaign that Gabriella scored a key goal.

If the Warriors secure the Sectional Championship Nov. 2 against Schoharie, they will play in the regional finals against

the Section VII champions, Northern Adirondack, in a game set for 4 p.m. Saturday at Stillwater High School.

The victor of Saturday’s regional title earns a berth in the New York State Final Four, playing up to two more games at SUNY Cortland, battling against three other teams for the state championship.

Eagles’ teamwork, talent takes them to Section II finals

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LANSINGBURGH — In a cohesive team effort, Bolton earned their shot at the Class D Section II championship by defeating Northville 4-0 in the Sectional semifinal played Oct. 28 in Lansingburgh.

Scoring goals in the victory were Abbie Seamans, Maria Baker, Leah Monroe and seventh-grader Gabriella Mowery.

Seamans, Monroe, Mowery and Caitlin Speranza provided the assists.

On both offense and defense, the Eagle athletes put up a formidable fight throughout the game. Bolton’s gaoltender Caitlyn Johnson, who was backed up by talented defenders, tallied five saves in the shutout.

The Eagles’ 14-4 season has been a surprise to some area sports observers, as the team is remarkably young — with three sophomores, one seventh grader and only two seniors on the roster.

Despite their youth, the players have developed a cohesiveness which has brought them to the Sectional final, coach Patrick Morency said Tuesday. Such teamwork has allowed them to develop a sixth sense that assists them in anticipating each others’ moves on the field.

“All of the team members have played significant minutes in very important times this season,” Morency said, noting his young athletes’ solid experience.

Another factor in their success to this point has been their tough schedule — and the players’ ability to raise their level of play to meet challenges.

On Aug. 31, Bolton beat Chazy, a team that’s now the Section VII Class D champion — and Bolton’s win was a decisive shutout, 3-0. Also, their early-season schedule included Beekmantown, and competing against such a large Class B school that’s now won a Sectional title helped boost the Eagles’ level of play.

The Bolton players’ resolve is reflected in the number of shutouts this season, which number 11 as of Oct. 31.

“Their accomplishments this year are not surprising to me — I believe in them,” Morency said. “The girls have bought into the concept of playing together as a team —no one individual is carrying us through this year, it’s a total team effort, with our players making good decisions.”

In coaching the practices, Morency has concentrated on encouraging his athletes to take advantage of their natural speed of play as well as capitalizing on each ball possession, he said.

“Every time we have the ball, we want to move it around as

Cailtyn Johnson (0) makes a save off a shot from Chazy’s Natalie Pombrio early in the 2016 season. The Lady Eagles played for the Section II title Wednesday, Nov. 2. With a pair of wins, Bolton could potentially see Chazy again — this time in Cortland for the Final Four.

fast as we can, with the object of moving forward,” Morency said.

The coach — who led his 2013 squad into the New York State Final Four — predicted continued success this year.

“We are likely to have two more weeks in the season — and it’s been a lot of fun this year — not only because we are winning, but we’ve done it the right way,” Morency continued, saying the players have embraced Bolton soccer program’s core values of team cohesiveness. “The girls are playing for

each other — it’s been very rewarding — and a lot of fun to watch.”

The Eagles moved on this week to face Fort Ann in the title game at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Lansingburgh, after Fort Ann (13-4) beat top-seeded St. Johnsville on Friday.

Morency predicted his team’s resolve and team spirit would power them into the regional playoffs.

“We’ve got great student athletes on our team and we’re looking to keep this ride going as long as we can,” he said.

raining our domestic animals to cooperate with us has been an age old practice.

But cooperating with untrained and unshackled wild animals is a much rarer phenomenon.

Recently three biologists from England and South Africa studied bird and human communications involved in the ancient use of an untrained and wild bird, called a “honey guide,” to find honey for human consumption. This practice was first described to Europeans in 1588 by João dos Santos, a Portuguese missionary who had lived in what is now Mozambique.

Once a hive is found, the humans consume the honey while the honey guide feasts on the beeswax and larvae made available to them by the human’s driving away the bees, securing the hive, and removing the honey.

The indigenous humans in Africa learned that the honey guide makes a specific sound when it has found a hive. This sound differs distinctly from the other calls this bird makes in the course of its life. If humans were prepared to harvest honey and they took note of the bird’s direction of flight after hearing this particular call, they learned that following the bird led them to locate a hive. Then humans learned that if they had an independent desire to hunt for honey they could make a unique sound that the honey guide bird, in turn, learned indicated the human’s desire to find a hive.

On hearing this sound, a honey guide will begin to search for a hive. If it is successful, it will then lead the humans to the hive. The sounds made by humans to obtain the help of a honey guide differed in different African cultures.

The researchers studying this process found that making the honey hunting sound had a 67 percent probability of inducing a honey guide to help the humans search for a hive and gave the humans a more than 54 percent success rate in finding a hive, a much greater success rate than that which the lo-

cal humans could achieve on their own.

Another example of a bird’s intelligence was recently uncovered by scientists exploring the intelligence of newly hatched ducklings.

It is well known that newly hatched ducklings “imprint” on the first object they see (which is usually its mother.) As a result of this imprinting, ducklings follow the imprinted object (whether it’s their mother or another animal or object) for several weeks thereafter. In these experiments they were shown pairs of objects.

In one case, the pairs of objects the ducklings saw were identical, in which case the ducklings thereafter followed any pair of objects that were identical, even if they were a shape or color different from the initial pair they had seen.

Similarly, if the initial pair of objects was not identical, the ducklings later preferred pairs of non-identical objects to follow.

The famous philosopher John Locke believed that non-human animals were incapable of abstract thought. However, in recent years, a number of experiments, including these experiments with ducklings, have given us solid data showing that chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, baboons, rats, pigeons, and other birds have a capacity for abstract relational thought. In keeping with this it has recently been found that, although avian brains are small, they have twice the number of neurons per unit volume as mammalian brains.

As with the honey guide, it is only after we understand another creature’s language that we begin to grasp their intelligence.
