Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on site at Clinton Correctional Facility after Richard Matt and David Sweat broke out, believes the two had some type of assistance in carrying out their elaborate escape plan.

WILLSBORO — Hundreds of law enforcement officials poured into this rural community in the Adirondacks on Tuesday in an effort to root out the pair of killers who used power tools to break out of a maximum security prison on Saturday.

Acting on a lead generated when someone reported a pair of suspicious individuals who fled after being spotted walking down a secluded country road late Monday, authorities transformed the farming community into a surreal landscape in which helicopters buzzed overhead and black-clad correctional officers prowled down backwoods lanes in buses.

“It’s almost like an occupied territory,” said Jay White, a resident who owns land adjacent to where the agents coordinated their search, as he watched them fan out through the verdant fields.

Early Tuesday, agents appeared to zero in on a field between Willsboro and Essex, eventually blocking it off shortly after 11

North Country Chamber of Commerce announces new initiative Focus on transportation equipment manufacturing, a prevalent business in the area

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The North Country Chamber of Commerce, the Development Corporation and several area transportation equipment companies announced the creation of the “North American Center of Excellence for Transportation Equipment” at the Business Expo June 4.

The initiative creates a “virtual center” under the umbrella of the North Country Chamber, which will unify the transportation equipment cluster in the region in the interest of identifying needs and opportunities that can be jointly addressed and pursued.

“We’ve been developing here in the Plattsburgh North Country region with a strong presence of companies involved in various aspects of the production of transportation equipment,” said Garry Douglas, president and CEO of the North Country Chamber of

Commerce. “It’s been the No. 1 area of growth and manufacturing employment in the region and thereÕ s a whole lot more to be done.Ó About 20 manufacturing companies run in the Plattsburgh/ Champlain Valley area alone, including Nova Bus, Prevost, Bombardier, B3CG, SpencerARL and IEC Holden — thus creating a cluster of transportation equipment companies.

With the cluster, Douglas said he hopes to accomplish two things: first, get the companies to come together, know each other and collaborate with each other since they all share similar suppliers and vendors, issues, workforce training and more and second, grow the cluster.

“If you have a strong cluster and you organize it well, brand it well and go out and tell that story, you’ll maximize the opportunities to attract more companies,” Douglas said. “We have a lot of opportunity to grow this market not only out of the Quebec market but also out of the European market — making Plattsburgh the most logical and efficient place if you’re a transportation maker who wants to succeed in the U.S. market.”

The center is the outgrowth of foundational work led by the Development Corporation, which, over the past few years, has facilitated the initial meetings and among area companies.

From 2008 to 2011, the North Country Chamber of Commerce was awarded a 13N grant, a federal Labor Dept. program administered through NYSDOL. After receiving $1.5 million over three years, they served as the administrative lead in funding a multifacilitated agenda with a partnership, including development of a welding program at CV-TEC, reestablishment of an electronics program at Clinton Community College and more.

This investment helped to establish a Ò partnershipÓ approach to the development of our Transportation Equipment cluster, consisting of North Country Chamber of Commerce, Clinton Community College, SUNY Plattsburgh, CITEC, Empire State Development, North Country Regional Workforce Investment Board, CV-TEC/Plattsburgh Aeronautical Institute, Clarkson University, Development Garry Douglas, president and CEO of Corporation of Clinton the North Country Chamber of ComCounty and NYS Depart- merce, announced the creation of ment of Labor. the “North American Center of ExcelA three-year plan of work lence for Transportation Equipment” will be developed, includ- at the Business Expo June 4. ing activities such as supPhoto by Teah Dowling ply chain management, workforce development, advanced manufacturing institute, technical assistance to sector and MWBE certification.

First Flag Day Extravaganza to take place at Trinity Park

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Raise the flag and take out the headphones because the time has come to celebrate Flag Day. The Flag Day Extravaganza will take place Sunday, June 14, from noon to 5 p.m. at Trinity Park, bringing live music and entertainment to Plattsburgh.

“I figured to make it a big free party for the people,” said Matt Hall, organizer of the event. “If it goes well, it could become a tradition.Ó A commencement ceremony will start the festivities at noon, consisting of a brief speech and dedication of the event from a surprise guest speaker.

Following the ceremony will be live acoustic music by Franz Pope and Peter House.

At 2 p.m., the talent show will begin with celebrity judges rapper and producer extraordinaire Benn Rymon of the Plattsburgh Home Team, master entertainer The Great Chernesky, world class visual artist Liz Allen, and local problematic eccentric Judee Mango.

Various talents can sign up the day of the event at the information table located in the park. Prizes will be awarded.

A live stage show, the main attraction of the event, by The Great Chernesky, accompanied by his trusty sidekick Sandpit Sam will follow the talent show.

“I just hope they’ll have a good time and enjoy the holiday,” said Chris Chernesky of The Great Chernesky. “I hope they’ll have a good experience.”

Born and raised in Auborn, Chernesky began playing punk music 14 years ago. Seven years ago, he decided he wanted to focus more on folk.

“Over the years, I’ve played what’s made sense to me,” he explained. “I wanted to take it in a different direction — make it faster, more real.Ó Chernesky, who’s performed in Plattsburgh before at Monopole, ROTA and Trinity Park, will play fan favorites such as “American Wolf” and other flag related songs in honor of Flag Day. “People should attend this event,” Hall said. “It’s going to be a spectacle of sight and sound that they do not want to miss.”

To learn more about this event, visit the Facebook event page “Flag Day Extravaganza.”

After that, Opal served as a mentor and educator for CVPH, a member of the Susan G. Komen Organization, a Plattsburgh board member and a member of the Boobie Sisters. She also spent a lot of her time outdoors hiking, cycling, fly fishing, hunting and kayaking.

In 2011, Opal went to Inlet for a breast cancer fundraiser Jan Opal not only was an avid outdoorscalled “One Square woman who enjoyed hiking, cycling, fly Mile of Hope,Ó a fishing, hunting and kayaking, but a caring Guinness World Re- and giving person. cord attempt to create Photo Provided the worldÕ s largest raft of canoes and kayaks.

Successful, approximately 3,000 boats came together despite rain and 50 degree temperatures. And the flyover photo was showcased in National Geographic and Sports Illustrated.

Inspired by the event, Opal wanted to recreate something like that in the community. But after a nine year remission with breast cancer, it came back last year and she died about four weeks after her first symptom.

Friends of Opal then came up with the idea of this event as way to honor her because it celebrates both the enjoyment of the outdoors and helping others.

“We needed to do something to fulfill her wish to have a paddling event up here and honor her, so we came up with the Paddle it Forward event,” Rowden said. “It’s a way to honor Jan and celebrate the beginning of summer.

“And after the winter we had, we need to celebrate summer.”

Participants must bring their own kayak, canoe or paddleboard and picnic lunch to the event. Rentals will be available at the Kayak Shack at a discounted rate. People interested must call before the event and they will bring the rental to and from the event.

For more information, contact Rowden at 518-563-8525 or paddleitforward@gmail.com or visit Facebook at “Paddle it Forward.”

Paddle it Forward: Event honors caring outdoors-woman

By Teah Dowling teah@denpubs.com

SCHUYLER FALLS — The first-ever Paddle it Forward will take place Saturday, June 20, at Macomb Reservation State Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

From 10 to 10:30 a.m., there will be registration for the group paddle on Davies Lake starting at 11 a.m. Around 12:30 p.m., a group photo on the lake will be taken by drones and the closing ceremony at 1:30 will include a performance by the Boobie Sisters, a group of breast cancer survivors who sing funny songs about being women, spreading hope through humor.

Throughout the day, there will also be a land and water scavenger hunt and a fly casting clinic by Trout Unlimited.

Paddle it Forward is a free paddling event that only requires a pledge to “Pay it Forward” in a community by doing a good deed for a local organization, group or individual.

“It can be anything,” said Joanne Dahlen, director of marketing and business development for the Development Corporation.

“We’re just asking for people to pause for a moment and think about doing something for somebody other than themselves.”

This pledge is in honor of outdoor enthusiast Jan Opal.

Opal, who’s also the inspiration for this event, passed away June 26, 2014 at the age of 63, a warm and giving individual who loved the outdoors. ÒS he was a friend of mine Ñ a friend of a lot of people,Ó said Sara Rowden, self-proclaimed head boobie of the Boobie Sisters. ÒS he was a beautiful person.Ó Opal graduated from Memorial School of Nursing with high honors and dedicated over 41 years of her life as a registered nurse in the maternity and delivery units at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady and CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh.

Editorial

Remember the rules of the road

Y

our job is not to be polite, your job is to be predictable.

This could refer to many things, but for this week, we are focusing that quote to the “job” of driving.

Yes, driving is a job. You are responsible for others when you are on the road, and they, in turn, are responsible for you. The payment from this job comes in a very simple form, that you, your car or anyone else sharing the road does not get hurt.

With any job, there are a list of rules and guidelines you have to adhere to. In driving, there are rules and guidelines very familiar to the anxious, acne-dotted face of a teenager preparing for first the written then driver’s test needed to receive the freedom and excitement which comes with a driver’s license.

However, at the moment that business-card sized piece of plastic with a driver’s name and picture exchanges hands, it seems this knowledge flies out the window faster than a cigarette butt from the vehicle in front of you.

As our staff covers the events and news of this area, they are on the road a lot and see examples of both good and bad driving. Here are some common occurrences they have seen which are in need of correction.

Perhaps the biggest problem facing drivers today is distracted driving. Your job on the road is to focus on the road, not on your text messages, Instagram selfies or dinner plans over the phone. That can all be taken care of before or after you get into your vehicle.

Studies have shown the average time to look at a text, email or phone pad is five seconds. That can be a lot of distance based on how fast you are going. Even if there are no cars around you to worry about, there may be hidden driveways or pedestrians in blind spots, and, here in the Adirondacks, there is a good chance some kind of four-legged creature is going to literally cross your path without regard for your right-of-way. While driving, a mobile phone cannot: rest on the driver’s leg, between the shoulder and ear, or on any other part of the driver’s body; be used for text messaging, video messaging, emailing or similar, or; be held in the driver’s hand other than to pass it to a passenger.

Drivers can only use a hand-held mobile phone if their vehicle is parked in an authorised parking spot. They cannot use a hand-held mobile phone while stopped at traffic lights.

Put the phones away, it can wait.

Another common issue we see on the roads are those who either fail to signal or do not realize their signal has remained on after making a turn. Signaling your intentions is a huge responsibility of the job for anyone who drives a vehicle, yet many times people will break suddenly, leaving the drivers both in front and behind to wonder what your intentions are. A wrong guess can lead to a serious accident, especially on rural roads where speeds are higher than in urban areas.

In New York State, the law requires you to signal a turn or lane change with your turn lights or hand signals at least 100 feet (30 meters) ahead. A good safety tip is, when possible, signal your intention to turn before you begin to brake to make the turn.

Even if you know exactly where you are going, it’s a good assumption no one else on the road does, so make sure you signal your intentions. It’s just the flick of a wrist.

It’s also just a quick glance at your dashboard to realize your turn signal is still on.

This can have similar consequences, as drivers will have to slow down or change course in anticipation of a turn that is never coming.

When it comes to right-of-way, too often we see drivers who, while their intentions are somewhat noble, sacrifice the rules of the road for courtesy. An example of this would be having a vehicle stopped at a stop sign, while the approaching vehicle with the right-ofway stops short and offers to let the stopped driver into the flow of traffic.

Courteous, yes. But definitely dangerous for all other drivers on the road.

This is a very dangerous move, as drivers from all sides are not prepared for someone who is going to stop when there is no stop required. They are also not going to yield the right-of-way for the car which now thinks it can merge without consequence.

So, please, help everyone stay safe on the road by doing your job this summer. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Global Grill Food Truck serves up international flavors and flare

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — A sandwich composed of roast pork, baked ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles and brown mustard grilled on sourdough bread graced the stomachs of hungry customers on a Thursday afternoon.

This sandwich, known as the Cuban, came from the new food truck Global Grill, owned by the Casey family of Saranac.

Co-owners Paula and her son, Nick, cook and prep up diverse weekly specials. While Nick mainly manages the grill and the fryer and Paula makes up the sandwiches and other cold items, the daughter, Heather, takes care of the public relations and occasional taste testing.

Each week, the food-loving trio thinks up and cooks up four weekly specials — three entrees and one dessert — with different global flavors for the customers to experience.

“We have the best sandwiches and we always to give people a taste of three or four things from a different area,” Nick said. “I believe this is one of the best places downtown to get lunch right now.”

Last week, the Cuban was offered along with two other entrée specials: a portobello mushroom burger topped with mozzarella, baby spinach and roasted red pepper-garlic aioli on a toasted Kaiser roll and a jumbo Cajun shrimp salad cold plate on a bed of greens and veggies served with spicy pasta salad — foods bringing a global flare similar to what they once brought in Saranac.

LOVE OF FOOD Before the Global Grill food truck, Paula and her husband, Shawn, owned Rustique in Saranac, where they cooked high-end international flavor dishes for dinner such as pasta, seafood, steak and more.

They had a special board with 15 specials nightly and a regular menu cooking different dishes from around the world, including Irish, Italian, Asian, Mexican, English, German and more.

When her husband became ill, they weren’t able to run it anymore, so they closed it about a year-and-a-half ago. But their love of food didnÕ t end with that.

Paula always loved the idea of having a food truck. Nick, who also loved the idea, left his full-time job as a chef at Pine Harbour Assisted Living and went on to own and cook for Global Grill.

Though they had the food truck since September, they didn’t start

serving until their soft opening during the first-ever Destination Downtown event May 17.

“It’s like you feel the pulse of energy downtown,” Paula said. “We’re enjoying it and weÕ re happy to be here.Ó MULTIPLE GLOBAL FLARES For their first week they offered smoky pork carnitas quesadillas with lime crema, shrimp tacos and fried bread dough.

The next week, they served smoky pork tacos with lime-cilantro coleslaw and jack cheese, a spicy shrimp Reuben and a hot mac daddy dog — a grilled hot dog on a toasted bun topped with jalapeno mac ‘n cheese — with a mile-high strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries, homemade biscuit and whipped cream for dessert.

The week after, they served an Oahu burger (Angus burger topped with grilled pineapple and bacon smothered with Hawaiian BBQ sauce), Italian stallion (grilled provolone, sauteed greens and garlic and prosciutto on sourdough), a curried chicken salad with avocado on a bed of spring beans and Mexican sweet corn with chili-herb butter and queso fresco sprinkled on top.

For this week, they’ll be serving a French onion burger, grilled chicken and tomato basil pesto panini, grilled brie, apple and bacon jam sandwich. And for desert, fudge brownies with chocolate peanut butter glaze and a white chocolate bread pudding with summer berry rhubarb sauce.

“We’re proud about the food because we know what we put into it,” Heather said. Ò ItÕ s all really great food.Ó TRIAL AND ERROR Before the food makes it to the food truck, the family does trial and error at home where they’ll cook a new dish after researching or reading about it, taste it and decide whether it’s up to Global Grill’s standards.

If it passes the test, it will make it’s way to Global Grill and on the three-special menu marker board on the front of the truck.

Global Grill plans to continue this flavor cycle until the beginning of winter when the truck will close until the season ends.

The Casey family, besides new dishes, also plans to try out different locations for the truck where they can serve food, ranging from different parking lots in downtown Plattsburgh to the Port Kent Ferry. They also intend to be part of different local events.

Though all these factors may change week-by-week, possibly dayby-day, an updated list of locations, schedules and specials is available at the Casey family’s Facebook page “Global Grill Food Truck.”

“It’s just good home cookin’ with a lot of care and love put into it,” Paula said. “We just love doing it and that makes the food taste better.”

ave you ever heard the phrase, “I’m all in but my shoe laces?” A Malone friend posted comments on a social media site recently. She said they had come home and she was very tired after the trip, thus the shoe laces line. I told her I loved it, but it was unfamiliar to me.

Just when you think you know such things because you’ve lived in rural areas for many years, such colorful phrases pop up. I ran into another room and asked Kaye if it was familiar to her.

It was. Ò What would you say

by Gordie Little if you were exhausted like that?” she queried. The first thing that came to mind was, Ò IÕ m too pooped to popÓ or Ò IÕ m just plain dog tired.Ó How do these things get started anyway?

Somebody had to be first. It was either in conversation or in print. Often the origin is lost in the mists of time. Others with much more time and energy have searched such things and have written serious books and articles on the topic.

What I do here each week is mostly just for fun as I try to get conversations started around your kitchen table.

I’ve always been interested in studying the English language and the history of words. ThatÕ s the definition of etymology. To learn word roots and how those words have changed throughout the years is a great pastime. I especially like to learn how colloquial words and phrases from this area got their start. I know you’ve all said “jeezum crow” at one time or another and I have a good friend who makes a living by putting those words on his homemade products. We’ve also spent a lot of time trying to find out how our iconic food delight called michigans got started.

Sometimes, it’s fairly easy to trace the origin of words and phrases. The Internet and digital age have facilitated that effort tremendously. I’ve written often about “brass monkeys,” “breaking the ice,” “over the top,” “keeping your eye on the ballÓ and others. Some go all the way to the Holy Bible and many were coined by Shakespeare himself. Others were no doubt borne straight out of small talk by farmers such as “making hay while the sun shines.Ó Although not familiar to me, the one about the shoe laces is perfect. When you hear it, you know instantly what it means. Last weekend, Kaye and I drove up to the wonderful, old Petrova School in Saranac Lake. It was charming because Kaye graduated on that stage when it was a high school way back when. Also, because one of our 37 great grandchildren was performing there with other youngsters who charmed their parents and friends.

Little dancer Lydia’s big brother Logan walked in and out with us. I noticed that both of his laces were not only untied, but were strung out behind him as he walked. He was oblivious and, amazingly, didn’t trip or stumble even once. I had a flashback to age five and heard my mother’s voice in my head saying, “Tie those laces or you’ll trip and fall.” Later, I saw that Logan’s laces were tied securely in beautiful ‘rabbit ear” loops. I didn’t ask who did it. Maybe my mother’s voice was loud enough for him to hear it as well.

Do they still teach lace tying in kindergarten?

When our kids were small, they brought home writing assignments challenging them to describe on paper the precise steps for tying their shoe laces. Guess who helped them with that project and made himself crazy in the process?

My mother has long since crossed the river Jordan and is blissfully residing on the other side; but Kaye is my conscience and often reminds me to tie my shoe laces and keep my zipper zipped.

She has saved me from public embarrassment so many times. How I love that woman.

My advice to you: listen to your mother and your wife. Keep your eye on the ball, tie your shoe laces, keep your powder dry and don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.

The new rebranded 2015 Dozerfest in photographs

CVFC to host second running of 5KFWD for Recovery Race

By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The road to recovery begins with just a simple step forward and taking one step at a time.

The Champlain Valley Family Center (CVFC) will host its 2nd Annual 5KFWD for Recovery Race Saturday, June 20, at the Plattsburgh City Beach.

“Everyone has friends or family who have been affected by some sort of addiction,” said Karen Curtin, board member of the CVFC. “We’re trying to raise awareness about addiction and also celebrate recoveries, wellness and health. Ò ItÕ s going to be a really fun day.Ó Check-in will begin at 8 a.m. with the race beginning at 9 a.m.

A 1M kid’s run will begin at 10 a.m. with registration at 10 a.m.

At the end of the race, first, second and third place prizes will be awarded in five age categories: 0-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 and 50 and up. Prizes will also be awarded to the top overall male and female. All children from the kid’s run will receive a medal for participating.

For the 5K, early registration ends June 19 at 8 p.m. for $20 race fee and $2.50 sign up fee. On-site registration is $25. Registration includes a 5KFWD T-shirt, race packet and bib number. There will be a $5 registration fee for the kids run and a parent must

be present.

Non-runners can participate as well sponsoring a runner, buying raffle tickets for theme-based raffle baskets, design a T-shirt or create chalk art in memory of or support for someone who struggles with addiction and more.

“As we know, substance abuse is a huge issue in our community,” said Dana Isabella, program director for Tobacco-Free CFE. “It’s a great race for people to recognize their own recovery or remember those who lost their lives to addiction.”

All proceeds will support youth prevention programming in Clinton County.

The event originally started because the CVFC was in need of funds for its prevention program after going through budget cuts. After contemplating different fundraising ideas, the board thought a 5K would be most beneficial.

Last year, CVFC raised $7,500. This year, the board hopes to raise $10,000 to continue its prevention services to provide a wide range of school-based counseling and education services to schools, along with offering programs to help families decrease the use of substances among adolescents.

CVFC is a community-based, non-profit, agency licensed through the NYS Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services to provide treatment services for residents of Clinton County.

CVFC also provides, besides prevention, education and spe-

cialized youth programs to prevent and/or minimize the damage caused by alcoholism and substance abuse.

The trained staff at CVFC help individuals and their families heal those wounds and move a step forward.

“When you’re struggling with addiction, it’s very difficult to think of the big picture and what your life could be like,” Curtin said. “But if you take one step at a time, you’ll move toward a better life for yourself.Ó For more information about the 5KFWD for Recovery Race, contact Isabella at 518-570-7784 or tobaccofree@cvfamilycenter. org.

Marina

From page 1 ting ceremony, First Weekends kicked off an event alongside the Walk of Hope, featuring a 5k for neurodegenerative diseases, a performance by Lucid and a Rotary Fishing Tournament — all in celebration of the new marina.

THE NEW MARINA The marina, owned by the city but operated by NavTours, is located at 2 Dock St. — a half mile, approximately 10 minute walk or five minute bike ride, away from the downtown area.

It features 34 slips and moorings for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or seasonal use. It provides a pump-out service and Wi-Fi. Seasonal spots are still available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those arrangements are made through the City of Plattsburgh Recreation Department.

The Welcome Center contains offices, showers, restrooms, a lounge area, laundry facilities and a front desk where people can register for their slips. Its facilities are open to all from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily until Sept. 14, when, the next day, it will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“It’s just a wonderful addition to our waterfront and we’re excited to bring in some new folks,” said Sandra Geddes, promotions and special events coordinator for the City of Plattsburgh. “Hopefully, they’ll discover all the things that Plattsburgh has to offer.”

A LONG JOURNEY The City of Plattsburgh Common Council approved a contract, the final piece of operation, March 19 with the Neagley & Chase Construction Company, LLC for $301,000 to renovate the city’s new marina facility.

The City of Plattsburgh began construction on the city’s marina facility March 25.

Peters had two goals in mind when establishing the marina: economic development and revenue.

“That’s a very difficult thing for people who have grown up here all their lives to wrap their minds around,” Superintendent of Recreation for the City of Plattsburgh Steve Peters said in a previous interview. “You’ll always hear that sentiment of ‘why would anybody want to come here,’ and when you really look around, they’re some very attractive resources that our region has from the Adirondacks to the lake.”

Peters claimed that the new marina will eventually become a new revenue generator for the community with the potential to generate approximately $1.2 million over 20 years after bond payments and operating expenses.

In the future, they hope to incorporate bike or kayak rentals.

Escape

From page 1 a.m.

George Sayward said he saw agents stationed near his barn at 5 a.m. when he went to do chores. Ò They told me that they had gotten a tip about a possible sighting of the escapees right where my farm is,” said Sayward.

If the convicts, Richard Matt and David Sweat, were in fact out there, they’d be facing difficult conditions, said Sayward: the rolling fields are punctuated by dense brush and wetlands reaching kneedeep in some places.

As he spoke, thunder rolled overhead.

The brewing storm, paired with the whorl of emergency lights, the lingering mountain mist and the forlorn call of passing trains, transformed a quiet farming community into a scene from a noir film.

As the chatter grew to a fevered pitch, both on social media and at places like the Willsboro Meat Market, state police said some 440 agents were going door-to-door checking homes and seasonal residences for the two men, both convicted murderers.

Willsboro supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he received at least a dozen calls that morning from concerned residents.

Law enforcement is taking every tip seriously, he said.

By 6:30 p.m., the focus of the investigation appeared to shift as the law enforcement officials began to vacate their stations on Route

www.the-burgh.com 22, where earlier that morning, they had been positioned at regular intervals, all armed and wearing bulletproof vests.

At the intersection of Middle Road and Route 22, several dozen correction officers hopped back on a bus and took off, destination unknown.

Authorities continued to be visible in mid-evening — parked in clearings and in residential driveways — while state police K-9 units appeared to be on standby.

Win Belanger resides at another location that became a hotspot of activity throughout the day.

By 6:45 p.m., only the television crews remained, he said.

“You wouldn’t even know they were there,” he said of the law enforcement officials.

Essex and Willsboro, both historical farming communities located about 35 miles south of Dannemora, have seasonal economies heavily dependent on tourism.

The countryside boasts countless places where the escapees could hide, including abandoned farms, houses, shacks, silos and seasonal homes.

In Dannemora, several prison employees, both uniform and civilian, have been interviewed in the investigation, said state police.

One employee, Joyce Mitchell, is said to have aided the killers in their sophisticated escape.

The Burgh • June 13, 2015 | 9 Numerous outlets are reporting that Mitchell, a civilian employee who worked as an instructor in the prison’s tailor shop, aided the convicts by providing assistance, even a possible escape vehicle before bailing out at the last minute.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said earlier this week that he believes the escapees had assistance.

Leads continue to be generated along the Clinton and Essex County border and residents will notice an increased police presence in this area, said state police.

Dannemora remained under tight security on Wednesday, with numerous roadblocks and security checkpoints.

No arrests have been made.

Authorities asked for the public’s continued cooperation and vigilance throughout the investigation.

Anyone with any information is encouraged to call 518-563-3761 or 1-800-GIVETIP. Tips can also be sent to crimetip@troopers.ny.gov.

Fort Ann got rolling early on, scoring eight runs in the top of the first inning and pushing the lead to 14 after three.

Lake Placid’s two runs came in the bottom of the sixth with the game largely out of reach.

Gillian McLean had a double for the Section VII champs while Taylor Maiorca had a two RBI single in the setback.

Fort Ann, with 20 hits in the victory, got a big hitting performance from Allison Vrooman, who was a home run shy of a cycle. Molly Bailey collected the win with seven strikeouts while Lake Placid’s Carissa Kennedy took the loss in a complete game effort.

Hoosic Valley 10, Ticonderoga 1 PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Lady Sentinels were handed their first loss of the season on June 6, falling 10-1 to the sixth-ranked Indians in the NYSPHSAA Class C regional.

Hoosic Valley put No. 4 Ticonderoga, which came into the game with a 16-0 record, on the ropes early with three runs in the top of the opening inning.

The Section VII champs scored in the second inning, but the 3-1 hole would only get deeper as the Indians scored seven more times over the

final three innings of the game.

Camille Coyne was the difference maker for Hoosic Valley, striking out 13 batters on her way to the win in the circle. Ti’s standout pitcher Hannah Ross suffered the loss, allowing six hit.

Five Sentinels errors compounded the deficit.

Tori Trim capped off her Saranac pitching career with five strikeouts, no walks and just one earned run. Sydney Adolfo and Carissa Pellerin accounted for the team’s two hits.

With the win, Peru moves on to NYSPHSAA regionals where they’ll face Section II Class A champ Queensbury.

Fort Ann 17, Lake Placid 2 SARANAC — While solid hitting carried the Blue Bombers to a Class D title and state playoffs, it was the undefeated and No. 2 Cardinals that fared better with the bat on June 5.

Behind a 10-hit performance, Fort Ann scored runs in all but one inning on its way to a 17-2 win over Lake Placid.

Most of the damage came from the Cardinals’ Garrett Bailey, who completed the cycle on his way to nine RBI for the 19-0 Section II squad.

After allowing three runs in the top of the first, the Blue Bombers answered with one in the bottom of the frame before the game got away.

Evan Damp had a double for Lake Placid while Connor Preston and Alex Brandes both scored runs on a wild pitch and interference.

Four different Blue Bomber pitchers — Chris Williams, Noah Mohr, Ryan Damp and Kamm Cassidy Ñ s aw time on the mound.

Norwood-Norfolk 4, Northern Adirondack 3 CANTON — The Bobcats, no stranger to close games, came out on the wrong end of a closelyfought, extra-inning playoff tilt against the Flyers on June 5.

Section X’s Norwood-Norfolk struck first, but Northern Adirondack scored the game’s next three runs to take a lead into the sixth.

Two runs by the Flyers knotted the game up at 3-3 before a final run in bottom of the eight sealed the Class C sub-regional.

NAC had 10 hits in the game, all singles, with Kody Smith sending one runners home.

Tristen St. Andrews had a double and three RBI for the Flyers, including the game-winning

sacrifice fly. Ethan King took the loss on the mound while Norwood-Norfolk’s Peter Jarvis, who took over in the fifth, pitched his team to the win.

No. 9 Ogdensburg Free Academy did most of its damage in the bottom of the fourth inning as it pushed a one-run lead to nine.

Plattsburgh, however, didn’t back down. The eighth-ranked squad answered with five runs in the top of the fifth to get back into the ballgame, but it would be the last time in the game that a runner from either team would cross home.

Alex Follmer had two of the Hornets’ four hits while Andrew Bechard had a double and drove in three runners. Ryan Whalen added another RBI. Gerritt Rietsema had four strikeouts in the setback while Whalen added two more after relieving him in the fourth.

Queensbury 6, Peru 0 PLATTSBURGH — The Indians’ season came to an end just a game shy of the final four as the Spartans pulled away late for the 6-0 NYSPHSAA regional win at Chip Cummings Field on June 6.

While Peru ace Andy Kneussle was among the section’s best this spring, it was No. 4 Queensbury’s Kyle Chambers who kept his opponent hitless and headed to the state semifinals.

Chambers fanned 12 batters in the win while Kneussle struck out four. It pitchers’ battle for over half the game — Queensbury only had two hits and two runs through four innings Ñ but the Section II champ had four runs over the final two innings as Peru committed five errors.

Peru finished the season 16-5.

Big wins, relay excitement mark track and field state qualifier Beekmantown girls and Saranac boys make up bulk of the field heading to Albany June 12-13

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com BEEKMANTOWN Ñ While most of the topseeded athletes fared well in the Section VII track and field state qualifiers in Beekmantown June 5, the rainy afternoon provided some upset excitement, too.

And perhaps the biggest one came right away.

Unseeded in the boys 4x800 relay, Peru’s Jared Banker, Tom Mathews, Ethan Feazelle and Isaiah Maddix came from behind on the final leg of the race to punch their ticket to Albany.

Just six days prior, the Indians’ 3,200 meter squad — with two different runners — took seventh in the event. But not this time. Maddix, running as the anchor, overtook a Hornets runner and stayed just ahead, edging out a win by eight tenths of a second.

“I told myself before the race, ‘If we’re behind, I’m going to sprint as fast as I can,’” Maddix said. “I saw my team screaming at me, I knew I’m already halfway through, I’m in pain, I’m going for it. I still can’t believe it.”

When the girls took to the track for the same race, the only element lacking was a photo finish. In sectionals, the Lady Chiefs were edged by the Blue Bombers, who came into qualifiers with the No. 1 seed. But the runners out of Saranac had a trick up the sleeve.

“We had a secret weapon, which was Janyll Barber, that we werenÕ t going to use until today,” said Faith Haley after the race.

Whether it was the secret weapon or a trip to states at stake, plenty changed in the six days since the last go at it. Haley, Barber, Amy LoTemplio and Lexi Blockson shaved over 20 seconds off the previous week’s result, good for a new Saranac school record.

“It feels amazing,” said Barber, who also qualified for states in the triple jump. “It’s exciting.”

Haley agreed.

“It’s definitely one of the best things I’ve ever done,Ó she added. Ò IÕ m going to remember it forever.”

After amassing a sizeable lead over the first three legs, it was up to Blockson to close the

Peru’s Isaiah Maddix, at left, overtook Plattsburgh’s Josh Ferris on the final leg of the 4x800 to seal a trip to states. The Indians were unseeded in the event. Pictured at right is Saranac’s Lexi Blockson taking the baton for the final 800 meters of the team’s 4x800 meter relay.

race out. Despite ultimately winning by 14.1 seconds, the anchor felt the pressure.

“I was definitely stressed out at the beginning of the race,” Blockson said, adding that when she heard they were closing in on the record she knew she had to push it. “It felt amazing. It was really emotional.Ó LoTemplio, also a two-event qualifier with a win in the 3,000 meter run, added that sheÕ s excited to be going to Albany with a group of Ò awesome teammates.Ó But not every event came with an element of surprise. Twelve top-seeded competitors won in girls competition and 10 more in boys. One of them, EKMW’s Jon Gay, was virtually a shoein for the 1,600 after a season full of substantial victories.

He finished the mile run in 4:22.90, good for a personal record and 25.7 seconds faster than runner-up Henry McGrew of Lake Placid.

Though the Westport junior was hoping for

4:19, a mark that may be more likely to achieve at states where heÕ ll run amongst, not well ahead of, the competition.

“I wish there was a little more competition just to push me along, but that’ll come at states,” Gay said after the race. “It’s difficult at times because I’m basically all by myself at practice.”

The fastest Division II 1,600 meter run time this season was achieved just a day prior, a 4:10.51 by Greenwich’s Jeremy Spiezio at the Section II state qualifier. For the Emu runner, states will provide an entirely different type of race.

“I think at first it’s going to get me a little out of rhythm, but by the 800 I’ll be nice and fluid,” Gay said. “I think it’ll be good, it’ll push me along, it will just be a little different at the very beginning.Ó The Beekmantown girls, meanwhile, built on their recent Section VII title win by sending

seven athletes to states to compete in nine different events.

Elisabeth Plympton and Kallie Villemaire were three-time qualifiers for the Lady Eagles.

Plympton won the 100 meter dash and long jump, Villemaire the 200 and 400 meter dashes, and both took part in the 4x100 relay victory.

Lindsey Gonyea and Kirsten Villemaire, who also qualified in the 800, were the other two members of the relay team. Octavia Pizarro (100 meter hurdles), Grace Kelly (high jump) and Jerika LaValley (shot put) rounded out the long list of Beekmantown winners.

Saranac had two more qualifiers in Elysha O’Connell (1,500) and Logan Thatcher (discus).

The Lady Indians’ 4x400 relay team of Taylor Canet, Rebecca Romonowicz, Abby Adams and Rachel Sheldrick used a razor-thin .1 second margin to clinch their victory while Northeastern Clinton’s Jessica Cartier was best by 3.1 seconds in the 400 hurdles. Ticonderoga’s Lillith Ida victored in the pentathlon while Seton Catholic’s Sofia DeJordy got the nod in the 2,000 meter steeplechase.

In boys competition, Saranac and Ticonderoga dominated the field, combining for wins in 12 different events.

The Chiefs’ Justin Liechty did so individually in the 400 while also running in both the winning 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Caiden Goodman did the same, with his individual win coming in the 100. Rounding out the 4x100 was Hunter Church and Austin Myers; in the 4x400, Myrers and Colby Churchill.

Colby Russell swept the throwing events for Saranac while Zach LePage qualified through the 3,000 steeplechase.

Ticonderoga’s Shawn Silliman won both hurdles events while Marcus Moser (200), Kody Parrott (800) and Collin Bresett (high jump) rounded out the teamÕ s winners.

The final four wins of the meet all went the way of Plattsburgh. Damian Bruce went to the air for two of them, winning the long and triple jumps, while Jeriqho Gadway won the 3,200 and Jacob Rohrig the pentathlon.

The NYSPHSAA championships, broken into two divisions for small and large schools, will take place June 12-13 at the University of Albany. A full schedule of events, as well as the option to purchase tickets online, is available at www.nysphsaa.org/sports/spring/track.aspx A year ago, two Section VII athletes — TiconderogaÕ s Jay Hebert and EKMWÕ s Halie Snyder — were named state champions in the 110 hurdles and 400, respectively, with Hebert adding a Federation title as well.

Lady Chiefs handle the Blue Devils in Class B sub-regional Saranac 9, OFA 0

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com POTSDAM — Tori Trim struck out 11 batters and the Lady Chiefs made quick work of the Franklin Academy Blue Devils, advancing in the Class B state playoffs by way of a 9-0 win on June 4 at SUNY Potsdam.

Saranac’s defense was strong from the get-go, forcing five outs and two strikeouts before an Ogdensburg batter was able to get on base. On the offensive side, meanwhile, it only took until the bottom of the second for the Section VII champs to get on the board.

Kaitlyn Guynup got on base on a bunt, stole second, and after two strikeouts Samantha LaFountain singled into right field to send Guynup home.

It was all Chiefs from there.

“We came in knowing that we really had to play as hard as we could and that it wasn’t going to be easy,” said Guynup, who got on base again in the fifth and reached home for the team’s sixth run of the game. “We just happened to find some errors and run the bases as well as we could. We were definitely on our A-game today.Ó A big difference in the game, one both Guynup and head coach Sam Campbell spoke of, was the team’s baserunning. Saranac runners advanced bases 14 times on steals and a handful of wild pitches.

“Baserunning was a big key because we hit the ball but didn’t hit it like we’re capable,” Campbell said. “When you’re not hitting you’ve got to create something and the kids ran well. When we did pressure them, they made a mistake, as most teams will.”

While the Chiefs runners made work of the bases, Trim was just as efficient in the circle. In the top of the fourth, a walk followed by a double left Ogdensburg runners on second and third with no outs.

Trim struck out the next two batters and the final scoring attempt was thwarted on a groundout. Two innings later, the Blue Devils threatened again, this time putting runners on first and second with one out. Two strikeouts later and Ogdensburg was still off the board.

“Huge, huge,” said Campbell of Trim’s pitching with runners on. “Any ball that’s put in to play advances a runner, that’s most of the time an automatic two runs. When you can strike those next two people out and force the last batter to get the base hit, you’re back in the driver’s seat again. Ò And when you get out of that inning, our mentality, our thought process, our confidence goes up, and theirs goes down.”

Trim allowed just a pair of hits and as many walks in the vic-

Saranac’s speed around the bases was key in the 9-0 win against Ogdensburg Free Academy. Summer Gillespie went 3-for-4 at the plate, and between steals and wild pitches, she advanced base four times in the victory.

tory. Saranac batters, meanwhile, fared better against Ogdensburg’s Jennie Dalton with 10 hits and another two connections that sent runners home on errors.

Summer Gillespie was 3-for-4 while Sydney Adolfo sent three runners home from the plate in the victory. Emma Webster had a two RBI single, Skye O’Connell had a hit and an RBI, and LaFountain finished 2-for-3 with a run-driving single.

Two more runs came on Ogdensburg errors.

Dalton finished the game with four strikeouts for the Blue Devils while Jillian Lincoln doubled and Alicia Shaver added a single. Only two batters finished the game without at least one

strikeout against Trim.

“Tori is definitely a big contribution to this team and we’ll definitely miss her next year,” Guynup said of the senior pitcher.

“But we’ll take as much advantage of her now as we can. We just always have each other to back each other up.”

After the game, Campbell addressed the team with a clear message Ñ that the going is only to get tougher.

“You’ve got to respect everybody at this point. If we do what we’re capable of I think we’ll be in the ballgame,” Campbell said.

He paused, and with a smile added, Ò Happy to be down there playing.Ó
