Manhunt sparks skittishness, but also bright spots of humanity

This Week PLATTSBURGH

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com CADYVILLE Ñ A door opened and a man cautiously stepped out onto his front stoop. Across Route 3, a state trooper gazed into the brush and watched for movement, a rifl e slung across his back. There were many more like  the  offi cer  dotted  along  the  rural route, stationed at regular intervals as sumac, scrub and swampland acted as the gateway to a search perimeter, roughly fi ve square miles,  where authorities continued to search for a pair of escaped convicts on Friday.

Superintendent Dan Mannix discussed the new NYSED grant for Extended Learning Time (ELT) Thursday, June 11 at 5 p.m. in the Beekmantown High School library.

BEEKMANTOWN Ñ When Superintendent Dan Mannix arrived  to  Beekmantown  Central  School  District  two  years  ago,  Beekmantown  had  been  decimated  by  fi ve  years  of  dramatic  cuts: over 80 offerings for students and 60 positions to be exact. Recently, Beekmantown Central School District was awarded  over $6 million by a NYSED grant for Extended Learning Time (ELT). “When kids participate in Extended Learning Time opportunities led by training and caring adults, they improve their attitude toward learning, exhibit fewer behavioral problems and are  more  likely  to  graduate,”  Mannix  said.  “We  want  to  coach  and develop our students so they can continuously strengthen their achievement.”  The school district will receive over $3 million for the 20152016 and 2016-2017 school years.

Run for Rosie raises funds in fight against domestic violence By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com CADYVILLE — The  6th  Annual  Run  for  Rosie  will  take  place  Saturday, June 27, at the Cadyville Rec Park from 8 to 11 a.m.  in  honor of Rose Rascoe-Maynard. “My mom was an amazing woman and was admired by many,”  Andrea Maynard said. Ò She was a dedicated mother, daughter, sister and friend whose life was sadly taken sooner than it should be.”  Registration starts at 8 a.m. with a 1 mile walk/run starting at 9  a.m. and a 5K walk/run starting at 9:30 a.m.   Cost  is  $10  donation  and  the  first  100  registrants  will  receive  a  free T-shirt upon registration. A  majority  of  the  proceeds  will  go  toward  STOP  Domestic  Violence, a program that assists victims through a 24-hour hotline, while $300 will go to a scholarship for a student at Seton Catholic in honor of Rascoe-Maynard. The Run for Rosie started the summer of 2010, the summer after she was killed. She was a supporter of Seton cross country and  track  teams,  not  just  because  Maynard  ran  for  them,  but  because  she loved running and walking herself, especially at Cadyville Rec  Park. “We only lived a mile from the park and mom would often go to  the park to run and walk in the woods,” Maynard said. “She loved  the peace and serenity that she found walking and running in the  woods that surrounded the park.”

Seton and St. John graduates attended the first-ever Run for Rosie event in honor of fellow runner Rose Rascoe-Maynard. The sixth annual run will take place at the Cadyville Rec Park - a place where she loved to run. Photo provided One  day,  the  Seton  Catholic  cross  country  and  track  coaches,  Kathleen Champagne and Keith Bombard, went to the family and suggested hosting a run to help raise money for a possible scholarship in Rascoe-MaynardÕ s name. For the first run, all donations went to a scholarship offered to a  graduating student from Seton Catholic. The second year, the donations were split down the middle between STOP Domestic Violence  and the North Country Mission of Hope. For the last three years, all donations went to STOP Domestic Violence since Rascoe-Maynard

lost her life to domestic violence. Ò The event is a wonderful event that supports a great cause and is in memory of an amazing woman,” Maynard said. “I am thankful  for the lessons that my mom taught me and I miss her and think of  her every day.”   For more information, check out the Facebook page “6th Annual  Run For Rosie.” If one can’t make it to the event but wishes to donate,  contact Maynard at 518-335-7421 or visit the donation page (www. youcaring.com/nonprofits/6th-annual-run-for-rosie/348857).

Republican LaForest to run for Plattsburgh Town Supervisor By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The  Town  of  Plattsburgh  Republican  Committee announced the candidacy of Vasso LaForest for Plattsburgh Town Supervisor.   “He  has  deep  roots  in  the  community,  a  tremendous  background in business and a deep affection and love for the North Country,”  said  James  Carlin,  chair  of  the  Town  of  Plattsburgh  Republican Committee. “I think he’s a great candidate and will  do a great job for the people in the Town of Plattsburgh.”  If elected, LaForest plans  to take  his  background  in  business  and finance to bring new businesses and jobs to the community  Ñ bringing more employment to both current and future residents. LaForest’s game plan includes making sure that the town will  use  its  financial  resources  to  the  best  of  its  ability  to  guarantee  that residents are getting their needs met with issues such as the communityÕ s aging infrastructure. “I would like to see the town continue to grow and be the best  that it can be,” LaForest said. “I certainly believe I can be of help  and I have the credentials to do it.”   FINANCIAL CREDENTIALS LaForest  currently  works  as  a  CPA  (certified  public  accountant)  and  real  estate  broker  with  offices  in  the  Town  of  Plattsburgh, owns the tax practice First Financial Service and serves as a member of the Town of Plattsburgh Zoning Board of Appeals.

His previous experience includes serving three and a half years as a Saranac Central School Board Member, working as a  finance controller for a printing company, and having worked for  several years as a public accountant with KPMG in Boston, Fort  Lauderdale and Burlington. “I have the professional background,” LaForest said. “I think  it gives me support to do what I have to do.”   After moving from Boston to Fort Lauderdale to Burlington, LaForest wanted to return back to the Town of Plattsburgh.  LAFOREST ROOTS He  first  lived  in  Cadyville  when  his parents moved to the Town of Plattsburgh in 1974.   He graduated from Saranac High School  in  1983  and  went  onto  college,  graduating  from  SUNY  Plattsburgh  in  1988  with  a  B.S.  degree  in  accounting. After receiving his degree, he left and  came  back  and  worked  for  a  small manufacturing company until he was asked to buy, and eventually  Vasso LaForest own, First Financial Service. LaForest now lives in Cadyville with his wife, Angela, who he met in Burlington, and two boys, Lucas and Alexander, and has worked in the town for a total of 30 years.   Now, he hopes to be its supervisor. “It  gives  me  a  chance  to  help  lead  the  Town  of  Plattsburgh

forward over the coming years,” LaForest said. “People should  vote for me because IÕ m trustworthy, have an objective view and love the area. “It’s a place I call ‘home.’”   DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT   On  April  13,  Plattsburgh  Town  Councilman Michael Cashman announced his candidacy for the office  of Plattsburgh Town Supervisor.   Cashman outlined his campaign focused on economic development, increasing the standard of living and updating the communityÕ s aging infrastructure. His No. 1 priority is to bring good Michael Cashman paying, new jobs to the community, while simultaneously keeping those jobs in Plattsburgh.   He will work to develop a sound capital budget while revisiting the townÕ s master plan. He also plans to commission a group to develop a comprehensive, long-term study assessing and recommending solutions to address Plattsburgh’s infrastructure deficit, along with incorporating more 21st century services such as online billing. “I will have an open door policy,” Cashman said in a previous  interview. Ò I will try to bring about opportunities for collaboration that will provide individuals to share their thoughts and opinions so that we can come as close as possible to a shared vision not only for our municipality, but for our region.”

Woodmen of the World holds awards banquet in Altona

ALTONA Ñ Woodmen of the World Chapter 462 held its 41st annual  awards  banquet  recently  at  the  Rainbow  Wedding  and  Banquet Hall in Altona. Chapter Secretary Tim Gonyo served as  Master of Ceremonies. The first presentation of the evening was to St. Mary’s in Champlain.  The  Woodmen  recognized  the  tragedy  of  the  Jan.  16  fire  that destroyed the former St. MaryÕ s Academy facilities. To assist the parish, and to thank the many firefighters who responded to  the  blaze  from  20  area  fire  companies,  WOW  presented  a  $500  check to the St. Mary’s Bazaar to purchase one hundred concession  stand  meals  for  the  first  responders  (five  meals  per  20  fire  departments).  A brand new American flag was then presented to  the Champlain Fire Department. Lifesaver awards were given to Debbie St. Clair and to NYS Trooper Christopher Gonyo for their efforts in alerting the residents of a Mooers apartment building that was destroyed by a Nov. 10 inferno. Trooper Gonyo described the events of that fate-

ful evening to the large gathering and heaped praise upon St. Clair for her part in seeing that all of her neighbors were safely evacuated. Woodmen  member  Gordie  Little  then  presented  the  “Caring  for  Others”  award  to  David Justus in recognition of his 45 years of providing food, shelter, and Christmas gifts to needy families throughout the Clinton County area. The number of people directly affected by his (and his wife, MarionÕ s) generosity over the years numbers well over 10,000. This year the local Woodmen gave two Ò Community Leadership/Citizen of the Year”  awards,  to  the  co-chairmen  of  the  annual,  highly  successful  Battle  of  Plattsburgh  commemoration committee, Kit Booth and Gary  VanCour.  Chapter  President  David  Blixt  presented  the  awards,  while  MC  Gonyo  read  off  the  duo’s  accomplishments

over the past 18 years that culminated with the celebration of the  battle’s  200th  anniversary  this  past  September.  MC  Gonyo  described  the  battle  as  the  most  significant  event  in  the  history  of Clinton County, and emphasized the importance of the region having properly recognized this important milestone in 2014. Chapter  President  Blixt  and  his wife, Ella, were presented with the Ò Fraternal Excellence Award”  for  their  extensive  efforts throughout the community in a great variety of organizations. The award was presented by Chapter Trustee Amy House. Attendees  of  the  banquet  brought in food items and made cash donations for the local food shelves.

Editorial

H

Both have given indication that the economy and issues surrounding a stagnant middle class will be central in the dialogue to come. Foreign donor issues aside, the other main contributors to ClintonÕ s campaign Ñ Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and  Lehman Brothers, to name a few Ñ should raise eyebrows when she makes promises to  fi ght for the middle class. Sanders, meanwhile, is running a campaign that’s largely fi nanced by unions. And  on top of that, the national trend of the rich getting richer at the expense of the rest of America has been something heÕ s rallied against for decades. That dividing line between the two will make the coming months nothing short of interesting. If domestic economic issues prove to be a major driver in the polls, will the blue folk around the country stick to what seems  their best chance against the Republicans Ñ the Clinton brand Ñ or gamble on someone likelier to back up promises with action? In the end, our next president will be in offi ce by way not only of votes, but the money  it  took  to  get  him  or  her  there.  It  leads  one  to wonder with whom loyalties will lie then. Since Sanders has put his name in the hat, heÕ s slowly crept up to the No. 2 spot behind Clinton, though the gap between the two, about 50 points, remains substantial. But with the general election now less than 18 months away, and primaries and caucuses to kick off in February of next year, the scrutiny  and attention will only grow. The reality is that come time to cast a presidential ballot, party affi liation will decide for  whom most votes are placed, and thatÕ s exactly why now is a pivotal time in which we decide which two we’ll send to the fi nals. Will it be Clinton? A safe bet, perhaps. But SandersÕ presence as a viable alternative is good for the process. We as citizens need all the opportunity we can get to fl ex our collective muscles politically, especially in a day and age when the few and powerful have substantial sway in our nationÕ s capital. Which candidate to get the nod will be up in the air for sometime, but if it is to be Clinton, she better have earned it. And who better to highlight the major issues than Sanders, in many ways the frontrunnerÕ s opposite. Sanders may not have your vote, but he should have your attention.

Publisher’s Column

Good to have Sanders in the race illary Clinton has seemed, for years now, a virtual shoe-in to be the next Democrat to run for president. The one-two punch of big name, big money Ñ more so than reputation or policy Ñ has left her seemingly alone in the push for the party nod. That said, Bernie: ItÕ s nice to have you aboard. This isnÕ t an endorsement for Sanders, who serves as VermontÕ s junior senator, but rather what his 2016 presidential campaign represents: Choice, discourse and a nomination that isnÕ t handed out, but earned. LetÕ s face it, come election day, weÕ re effectively left with options A and B. And if one of those is going to be Clinton, itÕ d be a disservice to voters if she was only there by way of capital and family. The run for the top offi ce has, after all, become  increasingly  skewed:  Hot-button  topics,  super  PACs,  mud-slinging.  Candidates  tip-toe what’s polarizing and stick to the talking  points.  It’s  less  about  qualifi cations  and  more so the ability the sell an image. And thatÕ s exactly why, when Sanders stepped into the ring, the nation let out a collective  chuckle.  But  that  has  started  to  change. In a recent Wisconsin Democratic straw poll, the senator pulled a surprising 41 percent, just eight points behind Clinton and an indicator of a campaign thatÕ s growing in legitimacy. While Sanders ousting Clinton for the nomination may not be likely, his challenging  of the former Secretary of State is healthy for the  democratic  process.  Clinton  has  quietly  navigated the press amidst criticism ranging from personal email use to who her donors are; Sanders has come out fi ring. He wants to  debate Ñ often, in red states and blue Ñ giving the race at least some semblance of one not entirely decided by money. Imagine that, a race that isnÕ t wholly driven by dollar signs. But even the senator knows there’s only so  much he can do against the grain. HeÕ s pulled off running as an independent in Vermont, but the picture changes nationally. There are symbolic  campaigns  and  there  are  fi ghting  campaigns. If thereÕ s no beating a partyÉ The pitting of Sanders against Clinton gives voters a chance to decide whatÕ s most important. The Vermonter is, after all, the yin to ClintonÕ s yang.

Letters to the Editor

Have fun without drinking and driving To the Editor: Summer is approaching and we are headed into the busy tourist season, many people visit Hamilton County to vacation and relax. As District Attorney it is my goal that tourists and residents alike stay  safe during this busy period. On the highways, in particular, safety is a compelling concern. On  Nov.  18,  2009,  New  York  State  adopted  Leandra’s  Law.  It  is  named after 11-year-old Leandra Rosado, who was killed in a crash  while a passenger in a car driven by a drunken driver. With a passage  of the law, New York mandated installation of an ignition interlock  device  for  all  misdemeanor  and  felony  drunk  driving  convictions.  A  person  who  has  an  interlock  ignition  on  their  vehicle  must  blow  into the device to prove that they have not consumed alcohol. If the device detects alcohol, the vehicle will not operate. It also created a new felony charge for a DWI offender with a child passenger 15 years old or younger in the car. These changes in the law will help, but the hazard of drunk driving still remains high. Drinking and driving is a serious offense with serious consequences to the offender. Not only do offenders risk themselves, they also  rick  their  passengers  and  anyone  else  who  happens  to  be  in  their  path. I encourage all to have a fun-fi lled summer. But keep it safe. Don’t

drink and drive. And, if you get the opportunity to be a designated  driver, be sure to take it. Marsh King Purdue Hamilton County DA

Senators stop the haters To the Editor: I call on you to reject all rent control bills and legislation. These are just further examples of democracy hating NYC scum. They just interfere and deny property owners their rights to charge a nominal fee that allows them to make a profi t and maintain the property they own. Absolutely  NO state taxpayer funds should be used for this purpose. These people have  shown  their  hatred  of  private  property  owners,  fi rearm  owners,  and our Bill of Rights in every action they have put before the legislature in Albany. It is time to tell them NO, and send them back to their sewer!

Field Day to support BackPack Program By Teah Dowling

PLATTSBURGH — The  JCEO  Community  Action  Angels’  Field  Day event will take place June 27 in Trinity Park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.   The day will be fi lled with activities for children of all ages, including a DJ, face painting, arts and crafts, bouncy castles, a bubble pool, a clown, a Chinese auction, food vendors, free ice cream donated by Stewart’s Shops, a dunkin’ booth and a variety of children’s games. The cost of admission is $5 per person or $10 per family and proceeds  from  the  event  will  benefi t  the  JCEO  Community Action Angels’ BackPack Program.   “We looking for a sunny day and a huge turnout,” said Kathy Bishop, JCEO development specialist. Ò WeÕ re hoping everyone will come out and help the cause.”   The BackPack Program, which started last October, provides children with a suffi cient supply  of  food  from  October  to  June,  most  in  family-size  portions,  during  the  weekend,  giving  them  a  two-day  supply  of  food,  including  two  breakfast  items,  three  entrée  items,  fresh or canned fruit, snacks and juice.

On  a  bi-weekly  basis,  children  also  receive  a  milk  card  to  be  redeemed at Stewart’s Shops for a gallon of milk.   “Hunger  hurts,”  Bishop  said.  “It  could  be  extremely  detrimental  to a young childÕ s development and everyday there are children who wake up hungry, end the day hungry and then go to bed hungry.”   The  BackPack  Program’s  main  goal  is  to  ensure  that  chronically  hungry children receive suffi cient food to combat childhood hunger  and the negative effects of insuffi cient food intake on one’s health and  development. So  far,  the  program  serves  90  children  in  the  City  of  Plattsburgh  — Bailey, Beaumont and Oak. The JCEO Community Action Angels  hopes to expand the program in the future. “For some children, the weekend means no school; for others, the  weekend  means  no  food,”  Bishop  said.  “These  economically  disadvantaged children are in need of our community support.”  The program is a collaborative project made possible with the support of JCEOÕ s Community Action Angels Advisory Board and the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.   For more information on the event or program, contact Bishop at 518-561-6310 or bishop@jceo.org.

I

Õ m not very smart and have few original ideas.  Others  keep  me  well  supplied  and  I  sometimes pass them on. Once becoming a full time area resident, I soon discovered there is something special about this spot on God’s good earth. I donÕ t need to mention  the  lake,  the mountains, the rivers and all the  local  fl ora  and  fauna. They are a given when you visit or reside here. However, there are many additional by Gordie Little ingredients that constitute what we call our “quality of life.” We touted them in the ‘90s  when we tried desperately to save the Air Force base. I  am  grateful  for  this  space  to  talk  about  other  things that we sometimes take for granted. I’m old,  so nostalgia is a way of life. When I began a long radio career, I swept into town with an ego that made me present myself (as my mother used to tell me) as far too big for my britches. People  began  to  call  and  told  me  to  “get  down  off  your  high  horse”  (another  of  my  mother’s  phrases) and join them at ground level. They said it so lovingly that I immediately began to develop a new persona that embraced something my preacher dad had tried in vain to instill in me: humility. I realized that my perceived importance was nil and I should look for goodness in others. Toward that  end, I decided to call myself “Gordie Little, Who’s  He?” on the air and explained that I didn’t matter  nearly as much as those who were listening. The faucet of North Country love was thus opened full force. We ran successful street drives raising tens of thousands for worthy causes. We embraced individuals and organizations that were dedicated to helping others. Any time a need was pointed out, it was fulfi lled. It happened, not just  once, but over and over. It was always amazing and wonderful for me. When  we  asked  for  contributions,  businesses  and  individuals  and  organizations  responded  quickly.  Small  children  emptied  their  piggy  banks  and  brought their pennies to us. I often shed tears of joy. What a marvelous place to live. IÕ m writing this on my 78th birthday and IÕ m still feeling the loveÑ not for me, but for those helping in  the  search  for  two  escaped  killers.  Joining  our  beloved corrections offi cers from here and all over  the  state  are  New York  State  Troopers,  Homeland  Security, FBI and more. We began wishing there was some way we could let  all  these  people  know  how  much  we  appreciated their dedication. Some searchers remained in the thick woods and swamps for 36 hours without  sleep.  Others  manned  roadblocks  in  searing  heat  and torrential rains. I listened and watched the love coming back to them as people began delivering  food  and  drinks  and  other  amenities  to  them  directly where they were working. Businesses sent  everything from toiletries to pizzas and michigans with and without onions. Rooms  were  donated,  warm  socks  and  other  items were forthcoming. But, what could we do collectively as a show of our  gratitude?  Facebook  follower  Dawn  Laundry  had an idea: ribbons. We could put ribbons on our homes and fences and cars. It was reminiscent of the yellow ribbons in the Viet Nam era when we sang with Tony Orland and Dawn in a song called “Tie a Yellow Ribbon ‘Round the Old Oak Tree.” This time, blue was the color of choice because of blue uniforms on many of those involved. We were pleased to take the idea and run with it. Soon, the  stores were busy selling ribbon; people were cutting up old blue clothing and making bows of their  blue neckties. To say that I was personally moved  by this outpouring of love, would be an understatement. It was and is awesome and wonderful. We all hope and pray that by the time you read this that the search is over; but in case it is not, we urge  you  to  make  your  own  blue  bows  and  put  them  out  where  our  heroes  can  see  them.  Thank  you in advance for making this region an outstanding place to live and work and visit and LOVE.

One-man North Branch Farm: from beef to heirloom figs By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com SARANAC —  Just a man and his dog, Joe Orefi ce shares what  he creates on his farm to all in the Town of Saranac. “It is my form of creative expression,” he said. “It is hard, physical work, but it is something I enjoy having in my life.”  North Branch Farm is a 78-acre diversifi ed farm located on the  banks of Saranac River in the Adirondack Mountains.   Owned and operated by Joe, the farm specializes in vegetables, pastured beef and family heirloom fi gs.   FAMILY FIGS  In 1938, Joe’s great grandparents, Giuseppe and Antonia, fi rst  generation Italian Americans, acquired their fi rst fi g tree from Faicchio, Italy, Giuseppe’s birthplace.   Every  year,  Giuseppe  would  harvest  the  sweet  purple  fi gs  in  the summer and before winter, he would bury the fi g trees in the  ground by cutting half of the roots and folding them into the side of the hill on his farm in Connecticut. Giuseppe passed away in 1981, but the tradition of growing fi g  trees continues by his grandson Michael from Golden Acres Farm  in Connecticut and his great-grandson Joe, who brought them to the North Country from Connecticut. “The people were very excited about fi gs,” Joe said. “Right now,  I’m really building my infrastructure to raise more and more fi gs.”   Fig trees grown on North Branch Farm are duplicates, genetically identical of the original tree imported by Giuseppe in 1938.   Joe reproduces them using colonial methods such as breaking  off a sprout and planting it or rooting a stick from the tree.  In the winter, unlike his grandfather since the Adirondack winters deem more harsh than ones in Connecticut, he stores the trees in  his  basement  and,  when  it  gets  warmer,  on  his  walk  around  porch and replants them in May until they ripen in August and September. Joe started this process two years ago after he bought the pink  painted, red-roofed house and land in 2010.

JOEÕ S FARM Joe, along with his trusty canine companion, Alice, bought the farm  fi ve  years  ago  at  24  years  old  when  he  started  working  at  Paul Smith’s College as a forestry teacher. He teaches from September to May, but during May through August, he farms. Since the owner before him didnÕ t farm, he started raising cattle to keep the land open and bring the land back in production — a  process known as silvopasture.   Silvopasture is the sustainable production of livestock, pasture  and trees on the same unit of land. A managed agroforestry practice, something Joe researches at Paul Smith’s, silvopasture reduces heat/cold stress on cattle, provides high quality forage and allows for multiple use of wooded  land. The cattle purchased for this practice, including Scottish Highland,  Belted  Galloway  and  White-faced  Hereford,  are  grass  fed,  rotationally grazed and sold for meat. He also raises high quality and all natural fruits and vegetables  — garlic, onions, beets, carrots, greens, tomatoes, squash, apples,  kale, Swiss chard, herbs and more — in and out of his large greenhouse and sells them to local farmers’ markets.   “I like to each fresh vegetables,” Joe said. “So, I fi gured if I’m  going to eat fresh vegetables, I might as well grow as many and sell as many as I can.”

FARMERSÕ MARKETS After establishing a system, Joe began selling to farmersÕ markets two years ago, starting at Saranac Lake Market.   Last year, Joe, along with other local farmers, started Saranac Green Market, a farmers’ market located in Picketts Corners, as a  request from people in town.   Joe  manages  the  market  that  contains  different  farmers  and  crafters, including Woven Meadows, Northern View Gifts, Hid-InPines  Vineyard,  Trombley’s,  Custom  Woodworking,  Stonehouse  Farm and Deer Meadow Farm. Joe said he’s looking forward to the second year of selling his  vegetables, USDA-inspected beef and family heirloom fi gs and fi g

In 1938, Joe Orefice’s great grandparents, Giuseppe and Antonia, acquired their first fig tree from Italy. Today, Joe sells duplicates genetically identical to the original tree using colonial methods such as breaking off a sprout and planting it or rooting a stick from another identical tree. Photo by Teah Dowling trees to people in the town.  “My animals are healthy because I take care of them and my  vegetables are nutritious and delicious because I grow them naturally, in soil, with composted manure as people have done for thousands of years,” Joe said. “People should taste what I grow  because what I grow tastes great and itÕ s the healthiest you can fi nd.”  Saranac  Lake  Market  is  open  Saturdays  from  9  a.m.  to  2  p.m.  until early October. Saranac Green Market is open Sundays starting July 5 to Sept. 13 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.   Both  markets  are  producer  only,  meaning  folks  can  only  sell  items they actually raise or make themselves.   To ask to become a vendor for the Saranac Green Market, contact Joe at 518-293-1380. For more information, visit the Facebook  page  “Saranac  Green  Market”  or  North  Branch  Farm’s  website

Section VII athletes take on state’s best in track and field states ALBANY Ñ Kallie Villemaire, Justin Liechty and Shawn Silliman turned in top-three fi nishes as Section VII athletes  represented at the New York State Track and Field Championships at SUNY Albany June 12-13. Beekmantown’s  Villemaire  fi nished  second  and  third  in the Division II 200 and 400 meter dashes, respectively, earning her appearances in Federation races for both. There she took sixth in the 200 and eighth in the 400. Silliman  took  fi fth  place  in  the  110  meter  hurdles  and  followed it up with a second in the 400, though neither time  was  quick  enough  to  carry  the  Ticonderoga  runner  over into competition against Division I.

Beekmantown grant From page 1

THE PROCESS  Beekmantown Central School District, for two years, applied for  every grant possible Ñ the only school in the state to apply for as many grants. After being repeatedly turned down, the school district found a grant that could transform the district. They applied and received notice after one and half years. They adjusted the grant application and discussed the changes with the administrative team and Board of Education. After  meetings  with  stakeholders  —  students,  parents  and  staff  groups Ñ to inform and discern interest, which is still happening today, the Board of Education accepted the grant. The Beekmantown Teachers’ Association also decided to extend  their day to help implement the grant. “If you look at where we are today and where we need to go tomorrow, we don’t have the necessary resources to get there,” Mannix said. Ò Our goal is to provide a great education for every student that walks through these doors.”  The next steps include establishing committees (Extended Learning Time Committee and Extended Learning Time Alliance), hiring staff, creating opportunities for student learning, implementing these steps and re-evaluating after one year. DIVIDING UP  The Beekmantown Central School Grant divided up the money  per year in six different sections. The grant will pay for new staff members to help facilitate learning, teaching and proper implementation of the grant. These positions include two administrators, an accountant, a typist and more. Over $300,000 will go to partner with organizations including, but  not  limited  to,  the  Beekmantown  Youth  Commission,  Strand  Theatre, YMCA, SUNY Plattsburgh, College for Every Student and  others. Field trip and classroom lab excursions will receive $125,000 and professional development and site visits will receive $60,000. An amount of $185,000 will go toward student teacher technology

and $84,000 will go toward BAZ supplies.   In terms of hands on learning, money will go toward classroom lab equipment ($84,000), the career and tech learning lab ($50,000)  and CTE and PBL learning ($75,000).   Approximately,  $50,000  will  go  toward  transportation  staffi ng   due to a demand for more runs, more drivers and changes to routes because of extended school days. Ò ItÕ s not just more time...itÕ s time thatÕ s valuable for students, valuable  for  learning,”  Mannix  explained.  “We  wanted  more  time  with our kids to do more fun and engaging opportunities that have  gone away and been decimated here at Beekmantown.”   LONGER DAYS  For the high school/middle school students, the busses will unload at 7:17 a.m. and teaching will begin at 7:25 a.m., beginning school 13 minutes earlier. The day will continue on until 2:49 p.m., 27 minutes longer than  the current dismissal time. In terms of the Beekmantown and Cumberland Head elementary  schools, classes will start at 8:50 a.m., 15 minutes earlier than usual, and end at 3:45 p.m., 25 minutes later than usual. For all four schools, Fridays will differ from the rest of the week.   While the high school/middle school will start at 7:15 a.m. and end at 2:15 p.m., the two elementary schools will start at 8:45 a.m. and end at 3:25 p.m. In terms of lunch period, the elementary students will have lunch and guaranteed recess with school monitors. High school/middle school students will have 23 minutes of lunch along with 23 minutes of something of their choice, including, but not limited to, going to the study lab, fi tness center, library, music lessons and computer  room. Six more minutes will be built into every period, giving teachers more time with their students and vice versa. Jamie McClatchie, mother of 6th grader Issac and 1st grader Lucas, shared her excitement with the program. “Both  of  my  kids  are  struggling  students  academically,”  she  shared. “It takes them a little while to learn, so I think this extra time  in the classroom is really going to benefi t them.”   With this, extended days and the money from the grants, students will have more opportunities to participate in a variety of different

classes, clubs and activities along with extra time with teachers. BRINGING BACK  Starting this summer, Beekmantown will bring back drivers education  and  will  also  be  offering  free  breakfast  and  lunches,  something that might be offered in the 2015-2016 school year. The  school  district  plans  to  bring  back  more  adventure-based  learning, STEM opportunities, culture-based learning and the arts. Tracy Lesniewski, mother of 11th grader Dylan, was glad to hear  that the school district will bring back different music opportunities.   “He’s  very  musically  oriented,  very  artistic,”  she  said.  “I  think  that it will be a good thing for him.”    In terms of classes, Beekmantown would like to incorporate more  CAPP classes and, more importantly, classes for students who aren’t  on the college pathway. Danielle Darrah, mother of 6th grader Zoe and 4th grader Abbigale, shared her previous experience when she attended Beekmantown of many different classroom and club offerings that her two girls donÕ t have today. “I think it’s going to provide them with some of the opportunities  that used to be here at the school,” she said. “I’m excited to see those  things coming back.”   The school district is open to any suggestion of a fi eld trip, club or  activity made by students, teachers and parents. FUTURE CONCERNS  After Mannix spoke at the informative meeting on Thursday, June  11,  a  concerned  parent  asked  the  question:  what  happens  in  two  years when the money runs out? Mannix replied that there could be a possibility of this continuing. Newly hired professionals are aware that this could only be a two-year job. At the end of two years, if the district does not get offered another year, the schools will decide what they should keep and what they  should eliminate. “We’re  anticipating  that  it  will  go  away  in  two  years,”  Mannix  said. Ò If we have to retool, weÕ ll retool. “The goal is to try to make what’s possible in education real with  the resources that the grant provides now and weÕ re going to do that here in Beekmantown.”

Manhunt

ent television stations issue reports with conflicting information. “I’ve  heard  so  many  different  things,”  said  Downey. ÒY ou end up having to weed some of it out, or not even listening to any of it.” Nearby, the clouds opened up over a garage sale. The proprietors sat in lawn chairs watching their neighbors peruse items, neatly folded tshirts and paperback books, shrouded in plastic. “The sale must go on,” laughed Marty Bedard.  “We had to clear out my basement.” “Why live in fear?” asked his mother, Pat. But, she admitted, she did give a pair of reporters a cautious glance as they walked up the  driveway. Saranac Central remained closed for the second consecutive day on Friday, a measure that irritated Tina, MartyÕ s daughter, who said she now had to take all five of her Regents exams on  Monday Ñ if the district will reopen, that is. State police said on Friday that the search will continue until every lead is exhausted. ÒW e do not have any conclusive evidence that either  of  the  inmates  have  left  this  area,”  said  Charles  Guess,  the  state  police  major  who  is  spearheading the investigation, at a news conference in the cafeteria of TinaÕ s school late Friday. Despite the tension, bright spots have surfaced in the community. Twinstate  Technologies,  a  cybersecurity  firm  located near where media have been stationed since early Thursday at the intersection of Route 374 and Rand Hill Road, have allowed their restrooms to be used. They also have spearheaded the collection of food from local business owners, distributing items to law enforcement officials and the news  media, for whom they have set up a tent and table with only one requirement: Dawn Currier Juneau said the effort started when she and her colleagues brought a cooler of drinks to the troopers. ÒT heyÕ ve been here all the time and canÕ t go anywhere,”  she  said.  “We  thought  we  could  share what we had.” A few phone calls later led to more local businesses coming forward, including the Pizza Palace in nearby Plattsburgh. While owner Scott Wright instructed his staffers to do whatever they could to help the troopers, he wished he could do more. “I’d  like  to  be  in  woods  helping  them,”  he  said. “Enough is enough.”

From page 1 field that he said was once a prison farm where  trustees would often get away. “After  a  little  manhunt,  they’d  catch  them,”  he said. Fink  adjusted  his  .44  magnum,  slung  low  across his hips. “It’s just to protect me and my wife,” he said,  noting he had a concealed carry permit. “The prison is a normal thing around here.” Early Friday, law enforcement entered a state of high alert after a tip Ñ one of some 700 leads state police have received over the past week —  led to a swarm of activity around Cringle Road, just a straight shot west from Fink’s home. Fink said he hadn’t seen anything suspicious,  only “a lot of well-behaved law enforcement.” A new normal has settled over this stretch of suburbia just south of Clinton Correctional Facility,  where  roadblocks  remained  on  Saturday  and  the  sight  of  black-clad  correctional  officers  moving in precise, military-type formations has become almost commonplace. All  say  they  want  a  quick  end  to  the  hunt,  which has now entered its second week. A car slowed and a man with a long beard stuck his head out: “Catch anyone yet?” A reporter shook his head and the truck continued northwest toward Dannemora. Robin Downey sat on her porch, surrounded by the chatter of several small children. Just  yards  away,  lights  flashed  in  the  falling  mist as troopers in orange raincoats stopped vehicles, their firearms pointing skyward. Downey, a day care provider whose husband works  as  a  correctional  officer,  said  she  wasn’t  concerned about herself, but rather the children under her care. “It’s  been  rough,”  she  said.  “I  don’t  know  if  this will have a lasting effect on the kids.” Like others, Downey has been glued to media  coverage of each development in the fast-moving case. ItÕ s one that has gripped the nation and brought scores of media outlets to the quiet community where top news is usually community events  like  the  Cadyville  Field  Day  —  which  was cancelled on Saturday, much to the disappointment of local residents Ñ than whispers of murderers skulking through the woods and mercurial rumors that seem to spread like wildfire,  especially on social media. Downey said she has mixed feelings about the constant news coverage, especially when differ-

Fly fishing competition lands in Placid

O

nce again the USA Fly  Fishing Competition came  to  Lake  Placid.  Some of the top fl y fi shing guys  from around the country, gathered  to  test  their  skills  and  try  their  luck  on  the  West  Branch  of the Ausable and Mirror Lake.  This year the Saranac River was added to the repertoire, to form a  triad  of  fi shing  waters  with  shorelines,  pockets,  riffl es,  runs  and pools to fi sh. By Rich Redman Both the calm waters of the lake and the fast boulder waters  of the Saranac and Ausable made for a real challenge. This was the second year of this event and some of the guys I met last year came back to try once again. Sean Crocker, a Physician’s Assistant,  (P.A.)  from  the  Philadelphia  area  and, Andy  Szofran,  from  Montana,  were  both  back  for  another  try,  along  with some new faces like Josh Miller from the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area. Some of the controllers from last year were there, along with some newbiesÕ . The volunteer controllerÕ s job is to measure the fi sh,  record  the  catch  time,  plus,  we  keep  the  fi shermen  within  the confi nes of the designated beat and make sure all the rules of  the competition are followed. The  fi rst  day  out  I  teamed  up  with  fellow  controller,  Ellen  Jenson,  for  Ken  Crane,  the  organizer  of  the  event.  He  fi shed  a  West Branch Ausable beat, 100 meters long, for a 3 hour period. It wasn’t long before he had his fi rst Brown Trout, a nice 27 centimeter Brown caught at 8:03, three minutes into the action. His last fi sh was taken at 10:59, a 30 cm Brown, caught on a nymph.  Ken caught 15 fi sh that fi rst 3 hour period. After lunch, I worked with the P.A., Sean Crocker, who had his  own prescription for getting fi sh. Sean worked his way through  the  boulders  and  runs  like  a  professional.  He  had  his  surgical  skills out as he sliced his way through the pocket water in search  of  trout!  His  prescription  for  the  day  was  size  16  and  18  bead  head  nymphs  called  “Frenchies”  along  with  a  3  weight  10  foot  fl y rod and 18 feet of leader. That was the medicine Sean used to  tempt the trout. The  second  morning  I  worked  the  main  stem  of  the  Saranac  River, just up from the junction of the North Branch. The rain

Conversations

The original anglers N

early 5,000 years ago, a pair of ancient anglers waded out into the frigid waters of the Baltic Sea. Whether they were seeking fi sh for food  or simple recreation has never been determined. However their footprints were recorded in the shifting seabed with every step they took.  Evidence of their long-lost prehistoric  fi shing  trip  was  recently discovered along with their Stone Age fi shing gear in  a dried up fjord, on the island of  Lolland  in  Denmark.    Archaeologists  uncovered  their  footprints alongside evidence of a fi shing weir, an angling tool that  dates back to around 3,000 B.C. However,  they  weren’t  the  fi rst.    Anglers  were  fi shing  elsewhere,  centuries  before  those  hapless  anglers  took  to  the  Baltic  Sea.    Most  recently,  a  fi eld  team  of  archeologists  discovered  evidence of ancient anglers in East Timor when they uncovered bone fi shing hooks that were carbon dated to about 42,000 years  ago. The East Timor discovery has since been confi rmed as the earliest defi nitive evidence of fi shing equipment in the world.      Although angling is still pursued primarily for consumptive purposes, it remains a popular recreational activity as well. Following the development of recreational angling with rod and reel, angling actually morphed into a competitive activity. Eventually, it led to the creation of the Professional Bass Anglers Society and the Pro Bass Circuit, which spawned a billion dollar competitive  bass  fi shing  industry.    Bass  angling  competitions  have  now  trickled  down  to  both  the  High  School  level,  with  Varsity  Bass Fishing Teams, as well as Division 1, College level Bass Fishing teams that regularly provide angler athletes with full scholarship opportunities, in addition to their professional earnings, which may run into the $100,000 range or better. Since  college  bass  fi shing  teams  compete  under  rules  established by the BASS Federation, there are none of the restrictions common to NCAA amateur status. If a student angler lands the largest total bag of bass in a tournament, they go back to campus  with the cash, just like a pro. Despite the myriad changes that have occurred since anglers fi rst took to the water in pursuit of fi sh more than 42,000 years  ago, angling remains essentially unchanged. It still involves a human  attempting  to  deceive  a  fi sh  into  biting  whatever  he  or  she has on the end of their fi shing line.  I  also  believe  very  little  has changed in the way anglers describe the size of their catch. Next to golfers, anglers are quite likely the most notorious, rec-

overnight made things a challenge, white water, frothy foam covered boulders and deep cuts made wading risky business. I started out with Sean once again, this time to see how his style would change due to the rising waters and being on a different river. As a controller, we are always on the stream edge, ready to measure a fi sh when caught.  The shore line of the Saranac and Ausable are two different monsters. The Ausable beats have a more pronounced and fl at fl oodplain, which means that  working  the  shoreline  to  measure  fi sh  and  do  our  job,  is  much  easier. The Saranac shoreline had old mining slag, shot rock and steep  banks to work, along with fallen trees and other obstacles to maneuver around. It made the controller work a challenge in itself.  The last beat of the day was with Josh Miller, who works for  Forest  and  Stream,  a  Pittsburgh  PA  sporting  goods  store.  They  help  sponsor  Josh  who  is  an  up  and  coming  fi shing  star!  This  young lad of 26 years is about 5 foot 6 and weighs about 120 pounds  soaking  wet.  To  see  him  maneuver  through  the  rough  waters  was  something.  He  was  up  and  over  sunken  rock  and  around granite boulders like a fi sh himself. He would climb up  on knobs of boulders, and fi sh from them in rushing water, de-

It was a slow start, and Josh was getting nervous when he would see a competitor netting a fi sh in the beat below him, but  he persevered. At the end of his allotted time, he had 25 fi sh on  record for the 3 hour period. He gave me a handful of nymphs he used, and one in particular was his favorite, but I had to swear allegiance to him that I would not disclose the fl y. It was and still  is a secret I will keep. All  fi sh  are  released  and  the  rules  call  for  barbless  hooks  so  very little “hurtin”, is done to the fi sh. As a controller, I released  many of the fi sh for the guys I worked with, so I know personally  how gently they were handled so they would live another day. Over the two day period over 600 fi sh were caught and released  by these guys who fi shed a Lake and Two Rivers. At the awards meeting after the event, fi rst place went to Michael Bradley, second to Ken Crane, the guy I worked with the  fi rst morning and third place to Dzifa Glymin. The USA Fly Fishing Teams donated over $400 to Tom Conway of the Two Fly Shop for the FRAN BETTERS memorial, a bronze statue of our own Ausable River Fly Fishing patriarch. This competition is hosted by the Hungry Trout in Wilmington. Thank You Evan! Sponsors  of  the  event  include  Umpqua,  Loon,  Simms,  Sage,  Titan, Clear Creek, Airfl o and Rio fl y fi shing and sporting equipment.

reational liars on the planet.  Although the affl iction of exaggeration affects many sports, it often appears more pronounced in individual sporting events such as golf, angling and bicycling in the Tour de France. Currently, there are over 50 million active anglers in the United States and according to a study conducted by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation they arenÕ t all born liars; most learned that skill as they became more familiar with the sport.  As it has for many years, fresh water fi shing remains the most  popular outdoor recreational activity in the US, with over 42 million honest participants. Surveys indicate regular outdoor recreation enthusiasts such as anglers; hikers and paddlers are more likely to have improved  physical and mental health, and a greater appreciation of nature and the environment, than non-participants. This should come as no surprise, as we learn to value and protect the things we cherish.  Outdoor  activities  such  as  fi shing  and boating also serve to promote family bonds and shared values. In fact, angling is recognized as the most common Ô gatewayÕ activity for introducing chldren to the outdoors. It also provides outstanding opportunities for families to share safe, exciting adventures that create family memories. Humans naturally develop strong bonds in the outdoors, as we are instinctively wired to protect each other due to our evolutionary tract as apex predators. While surveys indicate that it was a father, uncle or a signifi cant male role model that was responsible for introducing nearly 95 percent of all currently active anglers to the sport; female anglers comprise the fastest growing demographic of this increasingly popular outdoor pursuit. From a professionalÕ s perspective, IÕ ve witnessed the growing interest among women who are seeking to learn how to fl y-fi sh. Angling is not exclusively a male  domain, as women are well represented among of the worldÕ s fi nest anglers. Angling is a lifelong recreational skill similar to hiking, paddling or biking, and it may be practiced anywhere there is water.  It is an activity that requires patience, fi nesse, and concentration,  combined  with  intelligence,  keen  observational  skills,  and  the  ability to put up with all sorts of weather conditions, insects and ever changing water conditions. While it is an activity that can be enjoyed individually, it is also an excellent cross-generational activity  that  can  be  enjoyed  equally  regardless  of  age,  physical  condition or ability level. Angling also provides a great gateway for introducing children into the outdoors. It also provides families with an outstanding opportunity to establish bonds and create shared memories that will last far longer than any store-bought gift. There is also irrefutable evidence that outdoor recreation leads to improved physical, social and mental health. Studies indicate children from recreationally active families grow up to be more satisfi ed with their lives, families, friends, and careers.  Sharing  outdoor activities provides plenty of opportunities for conversations that can help to bridge the generation gap. Whether young,

old, or somewhere in-between, there is no doubt we are all equal  before the fi sh.    In recent surveys, nearly 95 percent of respondents reported it  was their father, uncle or a signifi cant, male role model that was  the person responsible for introducing them to the sport of fi shing.  It is a gift that just keeps on giving, as anglers tend to breed  anglers. It has been well established that forest and outdoor settings provide children and adults with a natural place to enjoy solitude and be free from distraction. It  is  a  place  where  the  only  electronic  device  is  a  fi shfi nder,  and a cell phones are only useful for taking a ‘selfi e’ with a fi sh. In fact, it may also explain why the Opening Day of Bass Season traditionally coincides with Fathers Day, which arrives on Sunday, June 21.  So get your rod, and borrow a kid if you need to,  it’s about time to go fi shing!

With a diploma and an Ugly Stick

A list of the top college bass angling teams in the country includes Bethel University, Daytona State College, UNC Charlotte.  New  Mexico  State  University,  Auburn  University,  Georgetown  College,  Eastern  Kentucky  University,  Kansas  State  University,  and Tarleton State. There are over 300 college bass teams currently competing all across the country, including a team from Plattsburgh State University. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Bass are the perfect species for introducing novice anglers to the sport. They are easy to catch and provide beginners with an entertaining, and acrobatic battle .” Young anglers show off a few healthy bass that were later released to fight another day.
