shawn@denpubs.com CHAZY — Officials at the United Way of the Adirondack Region trekked to the cow barn at Miner Institute in Chazy recently to pucker up for the cause.

As part of their ongoing fund raising drive Bruce Garcia, co-chair of the drive, challenged the Miner Institute to raise $3,000. If they were able to raise that amount, Miner Institute Dr. Rick Grant challenged Garcia and United Way Executive Director John Bernardi to kiss a cow. Ò WeÕ re really appreciative of you and all that you raised for the United Way and our partner agencies,Ó said Ber CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Hannah Kearney soars through the air off the second jump on the Wilderness mogul course at Whiteface Mountain on Jan. 29. She finished the World Cup event in second place, just .43 points behind Canada’s Justine Dufour-Lapointe.

WILMINGTON -- Knees pumping like pistons, Hannah Kearney blazed over and through mogul after mogul on her way to the second jump.

Then, for a moment that seemed as if time somehow slowed, she was airborne, skis crossed and body spinning, eyes on the snow 15 feet below.

Kearney spotted her landing, touched down, and was instantaneously back into a rhythm navigating terrain few skiers can handle at a fraction of the pace. She crossed the line, edges biting hard into the skied-off finish area, and waited for the scores to come in, all while the crowd cheered and a network video camera zoomed in for that first reaction to her score.

It was, perhaps, the last time Kearney would stand at the

Combat Veterans’ Motorcycle Assoc scouts new members

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com KEESEVILLE Ñ YouÕ ve probably seen them on the roads; with a large skull back patch emblazoned with the words Ò Combat Vets AssociationÓ astride a rumbling motorcycle.

Whether theyÕ re taking part in their massive annual charity ride, or leading out the mile long procession for each Honor Flight, the Combat VeteransÕ Motorcycle Association (CVMA) is more than just some graying Vietnam veterans out for a joy ride on their hogs.

Organized four years ago, the Ò Ghost ChapterÓ of the CVMA is one of six chapters across New York State. Their national membership numbers in the tens of thousands.

Each year on the third weekend in July, the Ghost Riders host a charity ride which attracts 250 veterans and civilians alike, and raises thousands of dollars for local veteransÕ charities, or veterans in need. But, says chapter

past-President Harry Treadway, itÕ s their participation in Honor Flights which brings them the most satisfaction. Ò ItÕ s just the fact that we get to do something for the Greatest Generation. They deserve whatever we can give them. Otherwise we would be speaking Japanese or German.Ó Through meeting World War II veterans, Treadway says many CVMA members have formed lasting friendships with their older comrades.

Currently nearly 30 strong in membership, the Ghost Chapter is actively searching for new membership from the younger generation of combat veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ò In any organization you need young members if you are going to survive,Ó he said.

But for Treadway, recruiting younger combat veterans is more than just keeping his chapter rolling. Getting together with older veterans, many of whom have dealt with the

problems of assimilating back into civilian life after combat, can be a great help to younger veterans. Ò WhatÕ s important is that these young vets understand the value of being out with these older vets. There are enough of us guys who have been around that block and know what theyÕ re dealing with.Ó Membership in the CVMA is simple, says Treadway. A person has to be a combat veteran, and has to ride a motorcycle over 500 cc, any brand.

Veterans interested in learning more about the Ghost Chapter of the CVMA can consult their Facebook page at CVMA Chapter 19-3 Ò The Ghost ChapterÓ , or talk to any members sporting the distinctive skull logo.

Volunteer-powered Big Tupper opens for downhill skiing Volunteers key to Big Tupper revitalization, success

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com TUPPER LAKE Ñ I f you look carefully after touching down at the Big Tupper Ski Resort, youÕ ll notice a small sign in the lodgeÕ s front window: ÒT hose who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those doing it.Ó Following several weeks of sustained snowfall, Big Tupper opened this past weekend, launching the fifth season since a group of local volunteers tackled what was once seen as an improbable project, the resurrection of a moribund ski resort.

BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS The rebirth of what was once one of the stateÕ s premier ski destinations began in September 2009 when Jim LaValley, a local realtor, floated the idea to repair and possibly reopen the resort, which had been shuttered for a decade. ÒM ost people thought he was crazy,Ó recalled Big Tupper Operations Coordinator Kate Bencze.

Cliff LaMere was dispatched to inspect thethen defunct chairlift and spent three days examining the gear. ÒM y fear of heights is non-existent,Ó he laughed.

Afterward, a group met at the local VFW to discuss the impossible.

Four months later, after a lot of Òb lood, sweat and tears,Ó the team got it all together, recalled Bill Mozdzier, who now serves as a trail groomer.

The Big Tupper Ski Resort kicked off their fifth season this past weekend. Pictured above are some of the volunteers who made it possible. From left: Dale Reandeau, Tim Brown, Tom Sciacca, Cliff LaMere, Bill Mozdzier, Kate Bencze and Ted Merrihew.

The Burgh Editorial

Cuomo should not use school aid as leverage

G

ov. Andrew Cuomo is enlisting a draconian measure this budget season that uses school funding as a pawn in an elaborate game of chess with the ultimate goal of strong arming state lawmakers into passing his agenda of overhauling the education system in New York State.

As a result school administrators are being held hostage by the governor because they will have no concrete school aid projections as they attempt to draft their own spending plans for 2015-16.

When Cuomo unveiled his Ò Opportunity AgendaÓ as part of the 2015 State of the State/budget speech a couple weeks ago, there was not much educators saw which they would classify as opportunistic.

Cuomo announced there could be as much as $1.1 billion in new funding for state school districts, but later noted the funding would only be granted if the legislature agreed to his agenda to overhaul the way state education works and teachers are evaluated.

Translation: back my way of thinking state legislature, or I will punish you by withholding badly needed fund from your schools.

If lawmakers do not support CuomoÕ s education agenda through passage of bills, he will not deliver one cent more to schools then he did last year. He would also continue the funding freeze not only for 2015-16, but 16-17 as well.

Instead of Gap Elimination (Adjustment), the governor has chosen a course of gap widening.

Perhaps the biggest way Cuomo is holding school districts hostage is by forcing them into playing a waiting game when it comes to finding out exactly how much state funding they can expect.

For years, school districts would receive the preliminary budget run showing totals for what each was projected to get. School administrators and boards would then be able to draft a budget that fits within the confines of the draft run, but also leaves room for unexpected cuts or surpluses.

Using the governorÕ s Executive Budget, school districts are supposed to provide a proposed tax levy by March 1, indicating if they are able to stay under the stateÕ s tax cap established in 2011. The governorÕ s strategy of withholding funding projections makes this impossible.

This year, district policy makers will be left blind until a state budget is passed and signed.

That means school districts will likely not have any funding numbers to go on until April 1, giving them just over a month to finalize their spending plans and try to stay within the state’s ever evolving (in complexity) tax levy cap.

This is unfair to local boards of education, who now have to stand at the front of the mess hall, tearfully looking up at the governor and doing their best Oliver Twist impersonation.

In addressing this matter, Cuomo said he feels the state’s educational system, specifically teachers, are failing their students, even though the most recent round of teacher evaluations listed 98.7 percent of the stateÕ s educators as Ò effectiveÓ or higher.

He pointed to the fact that only 30 percent of students passed the state Common Core testing, scored on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 and 2 considered failing and 3 and 4 passing or excelling.

What he failed to point out, however, is that his one-time education commissioner, John King, said the new testing was designed to fail 70 percent of those taking it.

Before Common Core, students were passing the annual state tests at a rate of 80 percent.

This has led to parents removing their children from the classroom during state testing days, refusing to subject them to the Common Core which educators have slammed as being flawed.

That does not sound like moving education forward.

So with this, Cuomo is holding a sword to the rope which holds much needed relief to many schools throughout the state, especially North Country schools, with some having no choice but to beg and plead with district taxpayers to pass a budget that does not fall in line with his tax levy cap.

To do so takes a 60 percent majority of the registered voters in a district. That can be a daunting hill to climb, as the Minerva Central School District encountered last budget season.

Cuomo has laid down the demands: ItÕ s his way with a new evaluation system and more aggressively pursuing school consolidations and mergers, or the money in the net gets dropped into the shark tank.

While there are many quality discussions to be had over education reform, they should not be used as a pawn in a political game of chess.

By doing so, Cuomo is placing the ones who matter most in the educational system Ñ the students Ñ in a precarious situation.

Clinton County Public Transit wants you!

To the Editor, Clinton County Public Transit is holding a public meeting soon.

The meeting is a public hearing. ItÕ s a chance for all members of the public to speak about their concerns, compliments, complaints and to make comments.

Public transit is used by far more people every year than the airport, but it regularly

Cool days and cold nights

A

s I pen this weekÕ s column on a cold Feb. 1 morning, there is a slight chill in the air. The thermometer reads -8 F, and a stiff wind is blowing in hard from the west. The sun is shining and the scene is idilic.

Ice crystals twinkle and shimmer in the golden light of the rising sun. Feb. 2 is the official date of Groundhog Day. As the day dawned across the Adirondacks, there was over a foot of snow covering the ground, and the lakes and ponds were socked in with nearly two feet of ice.

According to the accepted folklore, if it is a cloudy day when the furry little creature emerges from its burrow on Groundhog Day, spring will arrive early.

However, if it is a sunny day, and the groundhog sees its shadow while wandering about, it will return to its burrow, and wait out the winter weather which can be expected to persist for an additional six weeks.

ItÕ s unlikely any of the furry little creatures managed to see their shadows on Groundhog Day in the Adirondacks, as their view was likely clouded by the foggy steam of their own breath.

When I finally managed to roll out of my burrow this morning, it was 10 below, with blowing snow and a wind chill of -20. I wanted to return to my burrow immediately, sun or no sun.

However, it is very important to note the necessity of getting out during the winter months, which are among the darkest and dreariest of the year.

Sunlight has a much greater effect on the human psyche than most people realize. The Ô winter bluesÕ is a term that has traditionally been used to describe the currently recognized medical malady of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

In fact, many medical professionals stress the importance of getting as much direct sunlight as possible during the winter months.

It can be a mood changer, as exposure to sunlight kick-starts the production of endorphins in the brain, which help to elevate your mood.

Exposure to the sun is also necessary for internal organs as kidneys to function and sweat, which allows toxins to escape the body,

receives less attention and more threats to decrease service than the airport. If you think the County should make and keep public transit as a high priority, you should attend this meeting or submit your comments about this in writing.

I would personally and publicly like to thank all the drivers working for Clinton County Public Transit. The system is short staffed right now and the drivers are all working overtime. They deserve our thanks and appreciation.

Among other things, paying for overtime for drivers has caused stress to the CCPT budget. If more drivers are not hired soon, budget shortages may occur which could endanger public transit. The County needs to hear from citizens that public transit is, at least, as important as the airport or they may seek to make changes or end routes which will impact people who need

while the cardiovascular system is boosted by healthy levels of sun exposure.

Moderate sun exposure can also offer temporary relief from arthritis and scientists have argued that maintaining a slight tan all year round can help boost our immune systems.

With the availability of a wealth of winter recreational opportunities throughout the region, there is simply no reason to remain stuck inside.

Whether you ski, sled, ride, climb, skate, toss snowballs or simply sit outside and breathe the fresh air, the only sure way to chase the winter blues away is to get outside and allow them to escape. If you donÕ t get up, and get out, it will be almost impossible to shake them out of your system.

It appears Annie finally got her gun

According to a recent study commissioned by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the number of women owning firearms and participating in target shooting and hunting has soared.

The study, conducted in 2014, focused on women ages 18 to 65 who owned at least one firearm. Over a third of women in the study were new gun owners, having purchased their first firearm within the last three years.

This group of new gun owners, who are primarily between the ages of 18 and 34, reflects the changing demographics among women in choosing their own firearm’s colors.

There has also been a comparable rise in female participation in archery, which is the growth leader among all shooting sports.

More than half of women (55.6 percent) participating in the survey indicated they intend to purchase at least one firearm in the next 12 months.

That finding and many others reflect the growing popularity of firearms ownership by women, who represent the fastest growing segment of the shooting sports industry.

The womenÕ s market has become a major force in the industry, and manufacturers, retailers and shooting ranges are rapidly redesigning their products and services to satisfy womenÕ s tastes and needs.

Growth of the women’s market is quite visible among firearms retailers. In NSSFÕ s Annual Retailer Survey, more than 74 percent of retailers reported an increase in women customers in their stores in 2013 over 2012.

The report indicates the most commonly owned firearm by women in the study is a semiautomatic pistol, with 56 percent of women reporting they owned at least one.

and use these services every day.

The CCPT Public Hearing is on Feb. 9 at 1 p.m. in the First Floor Meeting Room at the Government Center. ItÕ s an opportunity for people affected by route and schedule changes and route eliminations to speak up about the impacts of those changes (past or future).

Please attend the meeting or submit your comments in writing to: New York State Department of Transportation Public Transportation Bureau 50 Wolf Road Albany, NY 12232 Complaints can also be filed at the above address and must include your signature and contact information.

Shotguns ranked second, with 50 percent of women owning at least one.

Women say their purchases are mainly influenced by fit, quality and practicality.

Women purchasing a gun in the last 12 months spent on average $870 on firearms and more than $400 on accessories.

The majority of women report they were not driven to buy a gun on an impulse, but rather they considered their purchase and researched the options for months before deciding.

Nearly all women (95 percent) have tried target shooting, and more than half (58 percent) have hunted.

More than 42 percent of women have a concealed carry permit for their state of residence and nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of them reported having taken at least one firearms training class.

According to the National Sporting Goods Association, female engagement in target shooting grew 60 percent to 5.4 million participants between 2001 and 2013, and was up 85 percent for hunting to 3.3 million participants during that same period.

Placing a premium on safety, women say the single most important reason why they decided to purchase or own a firearm is protection, for both personal and home protection.

Home security is often mentioned as a motivating factor, especially in south Florida where many gun ranges provide self defense classes in Ô Urban Shotgunning.Õ However, personal protection is not always the sole motivation.

Many women also want to learn how to hunt and enjoy shooting with friends and family.

The report indicates women are attracted to shooting activities such as practical pistol, clay target shooting, long-range shooting and plinking.

While the efforts of anti-gun lobbyists continue to focus attention on the negative factors of firearms; it is important to note that the rapid rise in female participation in shooting sport activities such as skeet, sporting clays, 3-D archery as well as the National Archery In the Schools Program has ben responsible for empowering an entire generation of girls and women to take their rightful place at the firing line, whether at the table or in the field.

Northern Challenge 2015

Tupper Lake will again be the site of the popular Northern Challenge ice fishing derby hosted on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015.

Registration fee for the event is $35 which provide participants with a chance to win over $33,000 in money and prizes, which makes the Northern Challenge one of the largest fishing derbies in the North Country.

Prizes include 4-wheelers, $6,400 in cash, and $6,500 in miscellaneous prizes. Last year’s event featured five 50-50 drawings with an average $1900 in prize money.

The event is based on catch and release principles, and all fish caught are considered property of event organizers, to be returned to the waters after weigh-in.

NYSDEC fishing regulations apply and all tip-ups must be tagged. For further information, please visit their website at Tupper Lake Rod and Gun Club.

No. 10 Cardinals drop Brockport, fall to Geneseo a day later

By Paige Passman

denpubs@denpubs.com Plattsburgh State 4, Brockport 3 PLATTSBURGH Ñ The then-No. 8 Plattsburgh State menÕ s hockey team defeated Brockport 4-3 on Jan. 30.

The Cardinals started off the game with all four goals in the first period before allowing Brockport to catch up.

The Golden Eagles responded back by tallying three power play goals as the Cardinals took 10 penalties. Brockport went 3-8 on the man-up advantage.

Most of the CardinalsÕ scoring came from Connor Gorman, who scored a natural hat-trick at the 10:30, 13:56 and the 17:11 mark of the opening period. Ò IÕ ll take the hat-trick for tonight,Ó said Gorman. Ò A different game tonight, and we were in the box a lot.Ó Gorman added that the team needs to stay out of the box more and get more power play goals to improve on games.

Not only did Gorman have a great game, Brady Rouleau went on to collect his second-straight win making 21 saves.

Alex Brenton, who tallied the fourth goal for the Cardinals, scored it on a ripping shot on a power play.

Bob Emery, head coach of the Cardinals, thought the team did a great job playing the Golden Eagles, but will need for the team to know that they canÕ t spend too much time in the box the next game. Ò We are going to take it and learn from tonightÕ s game,Ó said Emery. Ò We have to do what we have to do to win the games.Ó Geneseo 3, Plattsburgh State 2 PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Plattsburgh Cardinals wrapped up their final home game with a 3-2 loss to the Geneseo Knights Jan. 31.

Despite the loss, there was one play that the Cardinal fans will always remember when in the second period senior Michael Cassidy scored a beautiful 5-on-3, short-handed goal to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.

In spite of the goal, Geneseo responded with three-straight scores to the lead in the third period.

The Cardinals, now ranked 10th in the state after a home loss to Geneseo, wrapped up the home portion of the regular season with a 1-1 record over two days of play.

The Cardinals couldnÕ t help being checked into the penalty box throughout the third period, giving the Knights energy to score three goals.

Toward the end, the Cardinals pulled the goaltender to have six-on-five pressure to try to gain control of the puck.

Coach Bob Emery said after the game that in his 28 years of coaching, he has never seen a game like this. Six penalties were called on the Cardinals in the final period. Ò I feel bad for the kids in the locker room,Ó says Emery.

He then had no comment about how the way the Geneseo Knights were playing hockey. Ò Not to take away anything from Geneseo, but thatÕ s not what college hockey all about,Ó said Emery. Ò It was hard to get anything going with the way the momentum was going. I thought we came out flat in the first period. By the second period we got better, and then in the third period we couldnÕ t get anything going.Ó

back and forth between public and private ownership before it went down for good in 1999.

The door was locked and everything preserved in time.

With it came the end of an era. ÒI t was a culture this town had that was awesome,Ó said Mozdzier.

Canadians held 65 percent of seasonal passes. They bought homes, rented apartments and kept local restaurants and motels flush with cash.

For 40 years, the resort also instilled a unique set of shared cultural experiences amongst local children.

Parents dropped kids off in the morning and collected them in the late-afternoon.

Since everyone knew everyone, resort staff became like a big family.

The infrastructure, too, lent itself to all-ages outings because every trail led back to the base, making it nearly impossible to get lost, noted Operations Coordinator Tom Sciacca. ÒT his is a good mountain, a great family mountain,Ó said ski patrolman Ted Merrihew.

Skiing in general, said Tom Sciacca, promotes a culture of respect and independence. ÒT hey take care of themselves and respect others,Ó he said. ÒI t forms a sense of community that doesnÕ t exist elsewhere Ñ it stands out as a tremendous asset for the raising of children.Ó That culture took a hit with the closure. ÒI t was a missing piece in this community,Ó said Bencze. ÒW e had youth growing up without knowing.Ó RENOVATION The resort, which sits at a base elevation of 2,000 feet and boasts a 1,151-foot vertical drop, began to return to the earth.

“When we first started cleaning up, it looked like something out of a zombie movie,Ó said Sciacca, citing wild and untamed trails.

In the lodge, the carpet moldered, windows shattered and plants began to poke through the flooring. ÒI called it the Ô indoor putting green,Õ Ó l aughed LaMere.

Recovery came in stages.

The first year, one section was opened; then, after months of pruning and chopping undergrowth by hand, a second section was revealed the following year, while the third revived the snack bar and concessions stand.

Current usable area is now doubled since that first day in 2009. ÒC ountless hours is what got us here,Ó said Sciacca, who also lauded Titus Mountain for their exhaustive efforts, from lift training and unwavering pledges of support. ÒT heyÕ ve been our sister mountain,Ó ad ded Bencze.

Within the community, the effects of the resortÕ s resurgence have rippled.

Businesses note an uptick in customers when the resort is open, said LaMere, while residents bask in an overall buzz.

LaMere said the principal at Tupper Lake Central even reported a noticeable drop in drug and alcohol use in those early years, which he attributed to students using Friday night as a respite before hitting the slopes early the next morning.

UPHILL CLIMB Despite the success story, challenges remain, even with an all-volunteer staff.

It costs about $100,000 to run the resort once costs like insurance are included, among other complicated financial formulas. ÒW eÕ re a no frills operation,Ó said Bencze.

Standalone ski areas are difficult to run these days because the overhead is so high, added

www.the-burgh.com Sciacca, particularly when faced with a lack of real estate to help finance capital improvements that will help increase the clientele and diversify activities to foster an all-year operation.

And of course, thereÕ s the reliance on natural snow, a heavy factor in these mercurial times.

An initial big dump of two feet is needed to launch the season.

“It’s really difficult to make some executive decisions completely not knowing what the weather is going to bring us,Ó admitted Bencze. ÒW eÕ ve gone by the skin of our teeth for many seasons.Ó (But, added volunteers, owing to the north-facing summit, snow lasts longer when it does come due to the lack of direct sunlight).

And although fundraising and donations have dropped in re-

This winter, the Big Tucker crew hopes to keep momentum rolling.

Weather permitting, the resort will be open on weekends Ñ including Fridays Ñ and holidays, including the upcoming PresidentÕ s Day Weekend.

Volunteers are always welcome, including those to help groom trails during the off-season.

Boys’ hockey Lake Placid 2, Beekmantown 1 (OT) PLATTSBURGH Ñ With two top-10 teams on the ice, a sudden-death goal couldn’t have been a more fitting ending.

Connor Preston scored on a Chris Williams pass in overtime and the No. 10 Blue Bombers knocked off the No. 1 Eagles in a much-anticipated matchup Jan. 28 at the Plattsburgh Field House.

PrestonÕ s score capped off a come-from-behind win for Lake Placid (12-1-0, 5-0-0), which moved into sole possession of first place in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference.

Beekmantown (13-1-0, 4-1-0), which had just moved up to take over the stateÕ s top spot in the New York State Sportswriters Association Division II poll, suffered its first loss of the season.

Kyle Constanty gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead just 2:24 into the first period when he scored on a Josh Barriere assist, but the lead would evaporate 50 seconds into the second when Williams tied it up.

Lucas Strack was credited with the assist on the goal.

Neither team would score again for nearly 26 minutes of scoreless play as both goalkeepers stopped over 20 shots.

Tucker Angelopoulos tallied 26 saves on 27 shots for the Blue Bombers while the EaglesÕ Ben Frederick stopped 23 of 25.

But then the Cougars responded. Gonyo had two more scores for the hat trick and Dayton Roberts scored on a pair as the team used a four-goal period to rally for the win.

The HornetsÕ Meghan Sullivan scored with 4:35 remaining in the third period to cut the BearsÕ lead to one, but a tie Ñ or a leadÑ would remain out of reach.

Hannah Tulchinsky put the Bears up in the first period and Maura Mulligan scored the teamÕ s second goal midway through the third.

Corrinne Smith made eight saves for the Hornets in the loss while Zoey Shannon collected the win in net with 17 saves.

Beekmantown 4, Saranac Lake 1 CHAZY Ñ Kallie Villemaire scored two goals as the topseeded Eagles earned the Upstate Girls Hockey League regional semifinal win, 4-1, over the Red Storm Jan. 29.

Kirsten Villemaire, Katie Matott and Kallie Villemaire all scored in a span of 1:30 in the opening period.

Conner Lapierre pushed the lead to four points before Matott, named player of the year just a day prior, gave the team its fifth and final score. She also had an assist.

Kallie Villemaire, named a first team forward, assisted on three goals to go along with her score, while Abby Bone picked up a helper.

Kearney

From page 1 bottom of WhitefaceÕ s Wilderness trail waiting for the judgesÕ numbers. The freestyle skier, the sportsÕ most talented and dominant over the decade, is most likely on her retirement tour through the International Ski Federation (FIS) World Cup circuit.

Kearney finished in second place, just a fraction of a point behind CanadaÕ s Justine Dufour-Lapointe, 86.86 to 86.43. The third-place finisher, Andi Naude of Canada, was nowhere near the two with a 76.51. Ò I skied pretty well, I think each run got a little bit better,Ó said Kearney. Ò It would have been nice to be a bit smoother and faster in the middle section. I think thatÕ s probably what cost me.Ó There are three components to scoring in freestyle moguls.

First, form through the bumps and turns, making up 60 percent of the score. Twenty percent for air, or the difficulty and execution of the jumps, and finally, 20 percent for time. DufourLapointe just edged Kearney in turns, 53.6 to 53.3, but Kearney made up for it with a 15.12-14.74 margin in jumps. In the end, Dufour-LapointeÕ s speed, less than half a second faster, gave her the edge. Ò Hopefully I put on a good show for my family, so it was fun,Ó said Kearney. Ò ItÕ s always fun.Ó Kearney, of course, would have rather been atop the podium, a position sheÕ s been accustomed to over the years. Through last season, sheÕ s been on the FIS World Cup podium 66 times. Fortythree of those finishes were in first place.

The Vermont skier has plenty more hardware to go along with years of winning consistency. SheÕ s been in three Winter Olympics -- Ô 06, Ô 10 and Ô 14 -- and has come away from them with gold and bronze medals. On top of that, six World Championships medals, including golds in 2005 in Ruka and 2013 in Voss.

Going back to the World Cup, she has five moguls titles, or

crystal globes, and three more in the overall, a title given to the best athlete across all the freestyle ski sports. The moguls mark puts her tied for most in the discipline while her overall wins are tied for second, behind only Swiss combined athlete Conny Kissling, whose nine may stand the test of time.

In terms of accolades, the list could continue, but the point is clear Ñ that Kearney, who will turn 29 this February, will leave the sport as, many would argue, the best thereÕ s been. Of course, thatÕ s part of why retirement can be so challenging for athletes of that caliber. Ò That is the plan,Ó said Kearney of making this season her last. Ò IÕ m careful never to make any grand plans because you see a lot of athletes come out of what they claim to be retirement. Ò This is most likely my last time competing in Lake Placid,Ó she said, adding she believed the Jan. 29 event was her 14th at the mountain.

Though from Norwich, Vt., Lake Placid has been a home away from home for Kearney. For the past five years, she’s trained at the Olympic Jumping Complex, tallying thousands of summer jumps into the pool. Kearney called Whiteface, the closest World Cup stop to home, Ò pretty much home to me as a competition venue.Ó Ò I have to bring my summer family here,Ó she added. Ò ItÕ s really fun.Ó After Whiteface, Kearney planned to go home for a few days before heading to the next stop at Val St. Come in Quebec, Canada. Then, Japan, followed by France in what the FIS, in its 201415 season preview, called Ò an extended victory lapÓ for Kearney: Ò The moguls world now knows it will be treated to an extended victory lap from an athlete who will, like Alex Bilodeau on the menÕ s side, go down in history as one of the greatest to ever ski on the Freestyle World Cup,Ó reads the organizationÕ s website.

It will likely be a tight finish for Kearney. After the Lake Placid moguls, she stood in second in the standings behind Dufour-

Lapointe, trailing in points 385-326. Dufour-Lapointe and her sister, Chloe, went one-two in the Sochi Olympics last winter.

Though it will certainly be a battle for the top spot, an air of focus and competitiveness surrounds Kearney. ItÕ s what made her an all-time great, and also what will make stepping away so hard come seasonÕ s end. Ò You just want to go up and do it one more time,Ó said Kearney after her final run at Whiteface. “That’s why retirement is almost impossible, because you’re just never satisfied as an athlete, but thatÕ s my job.Ó

Cow kiss

From page 1 nardi of the Miner CenterÕ s efforts. Ò This is a great organization. They pledged to raise $3,000 for the United Way, and they exceeded that goal.Ó The money was raised through direct pledges along with a silent auction held during MinerÕ s Christmas party. Ò IÕ m glad we made our goal, and it beats kissing a pig,Ó said Grant just before the puckering began.

With Bernardi on one side and Garcia on the other side of Pepsi, who won awards this past summer at both the Clinton County and Champlain Valley Fairs and was the Champlain Valley FairÕ s Reserve Grand Champion, the pair made good on their bet and planted three seconds worth of kisses on the cow.

After, Bernardi thanked the GarciaÕ s for their leadership of the campaign. Ò IÕ d like to thank Bruce and Marge Garcia. TheyÕ ve given a tremendous amount of time and effort to the United Way, and we really appreciate all their efforts and dedication.Ó
