Two cemeteries earn distinction

Teah Dowling Writer

PLATTSBURGH — Issues of border security, trade, transportation and infrastructure and agriculture were brought up during a roundtable discussion with U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik.

The discussion took place Monday, Aug. 3 at the Holiday Inn with Stefanik, chamber board chairman Greg MacConnell, supervisor of the Town of Plattsburgh Bernie Bassett, North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas, Mayor James Calnon, Steve LaBombard of Clinton County Board of Realtors and other prominent people of the North Country.

The breakfast discussion, sponsored by the Clinton County Board of Realtors, focused on economic development, manufacturing, Canada and U.S. partnership and international business in the North Country.

SCHUYLER FALLS — The Town of Schuyler Falls Historians’ Office recently placed historic markers on two of the 10 known cemeteries in the town.

A dedication ceremony took place Sunday, June 26 at Soper Cemetery, or AyerSoper Cemetery, and Schuyler

Falls Cemetery.

Funding for the markers was made possible by a grant to the Town of Schuyler Falls from The William G. Pomeroy Foundation based in Syracuse.

“It was a very competitive grant process,” said Barb Benkwitt, historian for the Town of Schuyler Falls. “We’re trying to get markers by all the cemeteries.” >> Story Continued | pg. 13

Mothers discuss breastfeeding during ‘Big Latch On’ event

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — A number of babies latched on to their mothers and fed for a minute, along with thousands of other breastfeeding mothers around the world.

On Friday, July 31, the Big Latch On event took place on CVPH’s front lawn where 40 mothers nursed their babies to a national clock supporting breastfeeding.

“The event is just to tell people that we support breastfeeding in any area,” said Maria Hayes, director for the center of women and children at CVPH. Mothers and fathers registered at 9:30 a.m. and settled on the front lawn with their babies for the national event, including the youngest participant Leean Vassor born July 1, 2015 and Theresa Rascoe as the oldest born June 26, 2012.

While some babies could wait until the countdown, others started before hand, including Jennifer Luther’s 5-week-old Nora.

“It’s an important thing for me to do for her,” she said. “They don’t really need anything other than mom’s milk.”

Luther, who’s part of the Breastfeeding Coalition and works in pediatric nutrition, has been breastfeeding Nora since birth.

April Arora, mother of 1-year-old Nola, also began breastfeeding her baby since birth. In fact, she participated in the Big Latch On event last year when Nolan was only 28 days old - a time when she struggled with breastfeeding.

“In the beginning, it can be frustrating because you’re learning and the baby is learning,” Arora said. “But once the ball is rolling, it’s easy and it’s convenient.

“You’ll never wash bottles, it’s the right temperature everywhere you go and it’s healthy.”

When she started breastfeeding, she didn’t have any issues besides raw nipples. Once she pushed through it, she learned positions and became more comfortable.

mothers, it’s not painful.

“He has not bit me,” she shared. “It’s like a dog: don’t bite the hand that feeds you, only don’t bite the boob that feeds you.”

Though Nolan started eating other foods at 10 months, he nurses between 18 and 24 times a day and seven times a night, she shared, leaving her husband, Clay White, to sleep in another bed and her top mostly off when she’s home.

For the year she’s been breastfeeding, Nolan hasn’t gotten sick once. She plans on attending next year’s event when Nolan turns 2.

Janelle Briggs’ 2-year-old daughter, Harper, accompanied her mother and younger six-week-old brother, Hudson, to the event.

“It’s a good way to get your kid a good start at life,” she said. “I like to support breastfeeding and breastfeeding mothers, so if I can encourage other mothers, I try to.”

Besides events like these, mothers can now support each other easier through a new café located on 63 Broad St. called Nature’s Way Baby Café. Here, mothers not only can support each other, but share their experiences of breastfeeding.

“This is the best for their baby,” Hayes said. “Breast is the best.”

Soldier camp to take kids back in time

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh Barracks, during the summers of 1916 and 1917, was a place of action and adventure, and campers can relive that time in the Citizen Soldier Youth Camp this summer.

“It’s important for kids to know our local history,” said Melissa Peck, director of the Clinton County Historical Association. “This is one way that kids in the community can learn about a very unique part of their history here in Clinton County.”

The camp, instructed and designed by re-enactor and educator Matthew Hewson will take place Tuesday, Aug. 11 through Friday, Aug. 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at CCHA. During the course of the week, students will explore the sociopolitical events that led to the Plattsburgh Barracks becoming a central part of America’s military organization — immersing in what life was like at the Plattsburgh Barracks for new officer candidates.

Campers will learn drills from that period with replica training rifles and discover the art of trench warfare as it was taught at Plattsburgh in 1917.

They’ll receive period-enlistment paperwork, pay and enjoy period-food rations, along with learning different types of uniform and making gas masks used back in the day.

“It’s a full immersion kind of experience,” Hewson said. “It looks either like a classroom or a training camp.”

The goal of the week is to instill a new-found appreciation in campers for the pivotal role that Plattsburgh played during America’s involvement in World War I, as well as a deep respect for the courage and bravery of every man, woman and child who lived through and experienced the “war to end all wars.”

“There’s little known about this time,” Peck said. “This is a really important part of the communities history and we try to get kids involved at a young age.”

The other goal of this citizen soldier movement is to highlight and bring awareness to the Plattsburgh Idea.

Hewson said Plattsburgh gave the U.S. a template for how to train soldiers in a short period of time.

The Plattsburgh Idea consists of training young men from colleges and businesses around the world in Plattsburgh to become an officer and be well prepared if the nation goes to war.

After training, however, they would be sent back home to their normal lives until their country called for them — serving a secondary duty to their country.

“The military training camp played a huge, vital role in American history,” Hewson said. “Without Plattsburgh and the people who foresaw our inevitable engagement in World War I, the United States would’ve gone to war with a major shortage of leaders and a

major shortage of officers.”

The camp is recommended for youth between the ages of 9 and 14. It costs $65 per camper. Spaces are limited. Campers can register up until the day before the event.

For more information about the camp or to register for the camp, call CCHA at 518-561-0340.

Local children were able to embrace the life of a soldier for a week during last year’s Citizen Soldier Youth Camp. This year’s camp will take place Tuesday, Aug. 11 through Friday, Aug. 14.

PLATTSBURGH — The first ever Michigan Festival and Michigan Master Contest will take place Aug. 15 from noon to 5 p.m. at Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House.

“We decided to create a Michigan Festival and host a Michigan Master Contest because there hasn’t been one,” said Tom Frey, owner of Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House and organizer of the event. “It’s part of giving back to the community and it’s a food you can only get here.”

The event, presented by Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House and sponsored by McKenzie’s Country Classics, The Hall Radio Group, Adirondack Cider Company and Blue Collar Bistro, is searching for a maximum of 25 cooks who think they have an award-winning Michigan sauce recipe.

Contestants are expected to prepare and cook their sauce on site starting at 9 a.m. for up to 100 guests of the Michigan Festival itself.

Guests will be able to taste six half Michigans put together by the contestants, helping decide the crowd favorite of the first Michigan Master along with six judges.

Judges, so far, include Michigan lovers Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bernie Bassett and local resident of Au Sable Forks, Jackie Furnia.

To participate in the Michigan Master competition, it costs $50. For the entry fee, they’ll receive five pounds of hamburger meat, hot dogs, rolls, onions and hot plates. Contestants need to bring their own pots or pans, spoons, spices and secret ingredients, if any.

The winner of the contest will take home $500, a trophy, a Michigan Master apron, free entry to the 2016 Michigan Master contest and bragging rights. The next four contestants will share $500.

Tickets for guests cost $10 when purchased in advance, $12 the day of, with a 20 percent discount

when bringing a nonperishable canned food item for the Plattsburgh Interfaith Food Shelf in which the event is benefiting.

The ticket will include, besides six half hot dogs, a glass of wine, hard cider, beer or soda and live music performance by the Original PBR Band.

“Food for food was the concept,” Frey said. “We wanted people to come and create Michigans, bring awareness to the local delicacy and also bring food to the local food shelf.”

I

wonder at times if Americans have gotten too caught up in the current day to day hustle and bustle of life to really think about what a great country we are privileged to call home?

There have been many societies down through the ages that took for granted all the benefits they had built over the years and reached a point where enough was never enough. There comes a point where we each have to take stock in what we have and what we expect from our personal efforts; Also from those we share this country with and from the government, charged with maintaining and building a foundation for the nation.

Optimism seems to have taken a back seat these days to complaining. The first debate of the 2016 presidential election took place earlier this week as the Republicans get the process started with the top 10 ranked candidates.

Since this column is written before that event I can only assume this election will pick up where the last one left off.

Candidates tearing their opponents down and lots of discussion about all the things that are wrong with our country.

I strongly doubt there will be much talk about what’s right with America and what a great nation where we are blessed to be called citizens. That’s what I see at the root of our national discontentment. We spend far too much time talking about our shortcomings and not nearly enough time celebrating our freedoms and our fellow citizens who go about their business each day, raising families, building lives and making their version of the American Dream come true.

Opportunity is all around us if we just open our eyes and take time to smell the roses. The nation is full of beautiful landscapes, magnificent cities, wonderful hospitals, creative, talented and generous people who give so much of themselves. It’s uplifting just to be in their company.

Last week a story that had to catch your attention was 8-yearold Zion who lost his limbs to a serious infection at a younger age. Zion was blessed with prosthetic legs and was hoping for prosthetic hands that might allow him even greater mobility.

The prosthetic legs have allowed Zion to be very active, including walking, running and jumping; he had learned to use his forearms to write, eat and play video games, and has been attending school.

This young man became the first candidate to receive a double-hand transplant earlier this month at The Children’s Hospiltal of Philadelphia in an eleven hour surgical operation performed by a 40-person medical team.

The surgery itself is enough to celebrate, but the attitude of young Zion in a recent press conference was an inspirational marvel. It’s one we should all take a lesson from when we think about all we have in our lives and all we owe to those who gave birth to this great nation.

A

new sun has risen.

If you’re reading this, it means you’ve picked up the first edition of a Sun Community newspaper.

All of our community newspapers — Adirondack Journal, News Enterprise, Times of Ti, Valley News, North Countryman and The Burgh — that you’ve come to know and love are now under one banner — The Sun. It’s bright and optimistic.

That’s how we feel about our future.

As daily newspapers face a prolonged struggle in a shifting media climate, we continue to be the leading source of community news across the region.

Like our new name, the future is bright for Sun Community News.

In an era when daily newspapers are scaling back operations, we’re growing.

We’re adding new reporters.

We’re rolling out expanded arts and entertainment coverage.

And we continue to be a family-run company based right here in the Adirondack Park.

But one name and a single, unified website doesn’t mean that we’re standardizing content.

Each newspaper will continue to be tailored to your

community to provide the hyperlocal news that you’ve come to depend on.

And we’re doing so with a new look.

With the Sun comes a facelift from our design team.

It’s a measure we think improves readability and really brings your stories to life.

Because they are your stories.

Like the sun, community newspapers are vital for our communities.

We keep you informed on local government activities and civic issues.

We report on your taxes going up and down.

We tell you who’s running for office and what new businesses and organizations are coming and going in your neighborhood.

We help facilitate discussions about the issues that matter.

We’re there when you score the winning goal and when you pass that life milestone.

We tell the stories of ordinary people who do extraordinary things.

We capture the beginning of life and the end of it.

And like the sun, we’re everywhere.

But none of this would be possible without the support of you, our readers.

Thanks for joining us on the next step of our journey.

We hope you enjoy it.

We want to hear from you. What do you think of our new look� Drop us a line on our new Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, to share your thoughts.

Call to lawmakers to support MEA

St. Mary’s Gala a great success

To the Editor: I am writing to urge the elected officials in the Northern New York area to support the Museum Education Act (MEA) introduced by Senator Betty Little (Senate Bill 5001) and Assemblymember Mathew Titone (Assembly Bill 8199).

New York State has more museums, historical societies, zoos, botanical gardens and aquariums than any other state, many of which are among the leading art, history, science, and natural history institutions in the world. As many as 60 million visitors, including over six million school children, visit New York’s museums and institutions each year, the economic impact of which is well into the billions of dollars statewide.

However, many of these major tourist and educational destinations are struggling financially to keep their doors open and provide the services students and adult learners need. Since 2008, school districts statewide have been forced to cut their budgets and many have unfortunately cut transportation budgets once used to transport students to their local and regional museums and institutions. This unfortunate reality has effectively cut-off many of New York’s students from learning field trips and, in turn, harmed the museums and institutions they once visited. The MEA will help end this practice and get our students and adult learners back to the museums and institutions eager to serve them, all at no cost to local school districts. And in doing so, it will strengthen the educational competitiveness of New York’s students and adult learners.

Carol Rock, Secretary Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum

To the Editor: It is time to take a break from the hot and busy summer to relay my appreciation to those who so diligently worked to make the St. Mary’s Summer Gala such a roaring success. Without hesitation, these individuals stepped forward to put together a funfilled evening for all in attendance and to raise money for St. Mary’s School. Under the leadership of Robin Hearburg and Maria Stitt this group planned an event which included dinner with a d.j. and dancing and both live and silent auctions which entertained as well as brought in much needed cash for our local Catholic school. In addition, a $10,000 raffle was held that gave out approximately $15,000 in prize money.

Sue Liddel, Jean Hakim, Karlene Gonyeau, Marianne Major, Margy Pote, Lori Clark, Christine Leerkes, Linda Leavens, Kristina Wells, and Cathy Spaulding all worked throughout the spring and into the summer to bring this event to fruition. Kudos to Scott Hearburg for once again being the auctioneer extraordinaire. Thank you to Father Kevin for his over-arching support and trust.

In closing, the timing of this year’s help was all the more meaningful given the consuming reconstruction of our beloved school, soon to be re-opened for the 2015-2016 school year. God’s blessings abound.

Sister Sharon Principal St. Mary�s School Ticonderoga

If Win wins, the voters Lose To the Editor: If you’re afraid that your candidate can’t win on his or her merits, sometimes your best option is to go all-out prevent a contest.

In late 2012, Essex county clerk Joseph Provoncha was publicly fined and reprimanded for improperly influencing the award of a county contract. Provoncha was punished because he allowed an eventual contract recipient to determine the criteria through which that contract was awarded. Provoncha was fined $3,500 by the County Ethics Board for his lapses in judgment and was forced to resign from two of his public positions.

“Provoncha also admitted to violating the Ethics Policy, the County policy manual and continued misuse of the County computer system after being asked by the Ethics Board to stop,” wrote Valley News reporter Katherine Clark in her coverage of Provoncha’s public reprimand.

Local school teacher Luke Hudak, 34, is seeking to give Essex County voters the option of a different county clerk this November.

Consequently, veteran partisan hack Winfield Belanger is once again laboring to keep an opposition candidate off of the ballot. Belanger, a former Matt Doheny operative, is an old hand at this.

Belanger has apparently decided that his role in our democracy is as an obstructionist, and therefore he examines the other side’s nominating petitions with a magnifying glass and a fine-tooth comb, searching for reasons to raise objections to signatures and addresses on non-Republican nominating petitions.

It’s game-playing, and it’s an insult to the people of Essex County.

There are legitimate reasons to closely examine nominating petitions. After all, no one wants the dead, the opposed, or the non-existent to propel a candidate into office, or even onto the ballot. However, these are not Belanger’s concerns.

You may be interested to learn some of the reasons that Belanger, the vice chair of the county GOP committee, so strenuously objects to the efforts of those who have signed Hudak’s petitions.

Belanger alleges that Hudak’s petitions contain grievous infractions such as abbreviations; a printed name (rather than cursive) in a signature box; an incomplete address; a name that does not exactly match the proper name on the voter’s registration; and an address that does not exactly match the address at which the voter registered.

He claims that on one petition the “town” field wasn’t filled in, that on another the voter wrote “Schroon Lake” rather than “Schroon,” that a voter neglected to include the date, and that one petition’s witness did not include their own complete address.

This is only a partial list.

It is reasonable to ask whether these are sincere, legitimate reasons to object to the efforts of Hudak’s volunteers and the preferences expressed by the voters who signed these nominating petitions — or whether Belanger’s objections are simply the ploys of a seasoned insider.

Those of Belanger’s ilk would likely respond that this is simply the way the game is played.

The people of Essex County, however, may not appreciate such games.

Another partisan activist, Shaun Gillilland, recently told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that any alleged errors on Hudak’s nominating petitions raise questions about Hudak’s fitness for the position of county clerk.

Though disingenuous, this is a clever argument.

Voters should be aware that Hudak’s nominating petitions were collected by volunteers, not by the candidate.

Last week, the Essex County Board of Elections validated 307 of Hudak’s signatures — enough to put Hudak on the ballot this November.

Subsequently, Win Belanger filed a lawsuit to keep the voters of Essex County from having a choice this fall.

What is he afraid of?

Is there nothing more worthwhile to which he can devote energies than keeping Luke Hudak off of the ballot?

The people of Essex County would be better off if Belanger devoted his apparently copious amount of free time to activities such as volunteering for organizations like the American Red Cross or Habitat for Humanity rather than devoting his time to keeping Democratic candidates off of the ballot.

Such charitable activities, however, would doubtless fail to provide the same sort of thrill to a devoted party hack.

With time, though, even the likes of Win Belanger may find a way to enjoy public service.

‘Race the Train,’ a true success To the Editor: The 13th running of Race the Train was filled with excitement on a beautiful day.

Runners from as far away as California joined to participate in the 8.4 mile race.

Among the 250 racers were many of our very own Johnsburg Central students and teachers. It was inspiring to see racers spanning generations from age 14 to 74.

The winner of the Men’s Division was Paul Allison, now residing in Jericho, Vermont, finishing the race in 46 minutes and 19 seconds! Devin McGlade of New City, NY was the top female finisher, with a time of 58 min. 53 seconds. A short one mile family run took place after the main race with around 20 participants racing.

Our sincere gratitude is extended to Saratoga and North Creek Railway for hosting Race the Train and making a generous monetary donation to Johnsburg Dollars for Scholars. Thank you to Rhonda Morris, her family and Adirondack Runners for cohosting the race this year. Special thanks go out to all our sponsors, particularly North Country Imports, Morris Management Group, TC Murphy Lumber, Basil and Wicks, Stephenson’s Lumber, Adirondack Spirits , Braley and Noxon Hardware, Glens Falls National Bank, Creative Stage Lighting, Stewart’s Shops, Saratoga and North Creek Railway, Upstate Insurance Agency , Izzy’s Market and Deli, and Garwood Boats.

Also, thanks to Stewart’s, TOPS Market, Jacobs and Toney’s, Biscuit’s Bakery and Café Sarah for generous donations of water and food. A big thanks goes out to all the local

businesses who contributed to our raffle and offered special discounts to our runners.

Lastly, we would like to thank the many volunteers who helped in all aspects of the race. There are many tasks to oversee such as timing, food preparation, water stations, registration and safety details. Without each and every volunteer, we could not have staged this race. The proceeds from the race will assist Johnsburg Dollars for Scholars in funding scholarships for JCS graduates as they continue their education. Again, many thanks to everyone for making the race a success!

Let the Voters Decide To the Editor: Essex County candidates Brian Barrett and Luke Hudak, running for County Judge and County Clerk, respectively, expect to conduct vigorous campaigns this fall. Will they be able to, or will the incumbents and their operatives play an inside game to keep Barrett and Hudak off the ballot?

Judge Richard Meyer was unopposed in his first campaign for his county court seat. County Clerk Joe Provoncha has faced a challenger only three times in the past quarter-century. (In 2012, Provoncha admitted to improper behavior at the taxpayers’ expense and was fined $3,500 by the Essex County Ethics Board.) Power corrupts.

Objections to the signatures on Barrett and Hudak’s petitions have been made in a coordinated attempt to force them off of the ballot. These objections have not been made by average voters, who would, of course, prefer a choice, but rather have been brought by partisan agents who fear contested races.

The people of Essex County should decide who our next County Judge and County Clerk are, not partisan objections that seek to game the system in order to remove opposition candidates from the ballot.

Let the voters decide.

Broken bid process in Warrensburg To the Editor: Today at 4:30 there was a special board meeting held in Warrensburg. Its’ purpose was to open the bids for the roof and window replacement project.

Unfortunately for the taxpayers, only one bid was received and it was for over $100,000. Final approval was tabled until the engineer could review the bid but all the board members expressed comfort with the amount and the process. Why the town would combine to disparate projects (Roofing and Windows) into one bid beats me and why they seem so ready to accept and move forward with only one bid is not right for the taxpayers.

How can the taxpayers have any confidence they are getting the best price when only one bid is received. This is not the first time this has happened. Just recently only one bid was received for a vehicle. To my knowledge the local economy so hot that only one business has time or product for these contracts.

I’m sure they followed the minimum standards for advertising of bids but is minimum effort really in the best interest of the residents of Warrensburg?

Police Relocation Causes Safety Issues To the Editor: We, the Concerned Citizens and Neighbors of Ticonderoga, have several public health and safety concerns regarding the relocation of the police station into the Armory maintenance building. We would like to share these with the community.

• Sex offenders will be reporting to the police station. This will bring them into close contact with our children who use the Armory for after school and Silver Bay YMCA Teen center programs, dances, Biddy Basketball, and a number of other activities. St. Mary’s School and its school playground are also in the immediate neighborhood and the Ticonderoga High School is nearby at the south end of Amherst Avenue.

• Increased traffic flows will occur in an already heavily traveled neighborhood. This will not only include Amherst Avenue but Champlain Avenue and all the other streets within a close proximity to the proposed location. We have been informed that a single patrolman may make as many as 20-25 trips to the station during a 12-hour shift. In addition, there will be other visitors arriving to the station for number of other reasons.

• Well-intentioned police will be put in a no-win situation as they attempt to respond to emergency calls from a location that does not make logistical sense. They will have to contend with other vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists coming or going, including senior citizens parking and walking to the Senior Center, children at the Armory, attendees for both St. Mary’s Church and the Church of the Cross as well as special events, to name but a few. In an emergency where every second counts, you want the police to be able to respond as quickly as possible without potentially putting others in harm’s way.

• In relation to the police exiting onto Champlain Avenue the Supervisor has stated that only a dire emergency will call for the police to use Amherst Avenue. This means that the police will be using Champlain Avenue as their primary means of entrance and exit. As long-time residents we are still unsure of how the police would navigate the confluence of Champlain Avenue and The Portage at high speeds safely, especially during the winter. Visitors to our area are even more perplexed. Many visitors use The Portage to take their boats to Lake George or visit Mount Defiance. The sidewalks along Champlain Avenue are often used by both pedestrians and children on bicycles, especially when there are events at the Armory. Church of the Cross attendees park on both east and west sides of Champlain Avenue, limiting sight distances for vehicles exiting the Armory property heading north (toward downtown) on Champlain Avenue.

The potential for an accident, which is already very high, will multiply when the police start using Champlain Avenue as their primary means of entrance and exit.

We implore the Board to seriously look at the neighborhood impact of this proposed move. Public health and safety should be the overriding criteria when making this decision. Relocating the police station to the maintenance building will endanger both the health and safety of children, seniors, visitors, and residents.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Charlie Chaplain went to sea...

Gordie Little

Columnist

T

hanks to readers who responded to last week’s column about shoes. Some people had more; but most had less foot clutter in their closets than I. do. A friend named Mary told me she still saves old shoelaces.

Kaye and I were talking about Charlie Chaplain eating shoe leather in a movie.

We sit on our deck and sip hot coffee each morning.

We exchange the kind of chit chat young lovers always do. We challenge each other with trivia and vie to see who spots the first hummingbird of the day in the morning mist.

Suddenly she started to chant, “Charlie Chaplin went to sea, silver buckles on his knee.” It struck me as hilarious. I replied, “No, no; it was Bobby Shafto.” “I like it better with Charlie Chaplain,” she said. We laughed again.

We do that a lot.

Between us, we tried to conjure up all the lyrics and verses of the ancient nursery rhyme. I copied the first printed version of “Bobby Shafto” and all the subsequent iterations I could find. To both of us, it is always amazing how kids supply their own words based on how they hear a rhyme.

Writers do much the same.

I remember learning Bible verses as a young boy. My version of the Lord’s Prayer was, “Our father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name.

I traced “Bobby Shafto” back to the first printed version in 1805 and learned that he was a real person from County Wicklow in Ireland.

He left this world in 1737.

Through the years, others have claimed the original Bobby Shafto was somebody else entirely. No matter. It’s the lyrics I’m most interested in. Earlier versions indicate that he had “silver buckles at his knee” rather than “on his knee.”

A line in the second verse reads, “Bobby Shafto’s bright and fair, Panning out his yellow hair.” A newer version says, “Bobby Shafto’s fine and fair, Combing down his auburn hair.” And, still another: “Bobby Shafto’s fat and fair…”

So it goes. Sing it any way you like; in Gaelic, if that is your pleasure. Like many other nursery rhymes, additional verses have been added over the years. How many do you know? In any case, Shafto always comes back to marry the singer and that’s exactly as it should be.

I don’t know for sure, but my guess would be that Charlie Chaplin never heard of Bobby Shafto. Or should it be spelled Shaftoe?

— Returning for its third year to Otis Mountain in the scenic Adirondack Mountains of Elizabethtown, NY, The Otis Mountain Get has announced a unique and diverse lineup of 30-plus acts. The 2015 Get Down will start on Friday, Sept.

11, and end on Sept. 13. Check suncommunitynews.com for more on the festival!

Second, our paper which is free to pick up, or for the majority of you is delivered right to your home; would carry a printed list of current gigs to attend.

But we can’t print a weekly list of everything!

So, we will pare down the list and give you the Northern Highlights. For the most part, organizations that enrich our communities, without making a profit will make the cut and be on our list.

If you have something, you really need our readership to know; you might want to purchase a small announcement. See the ones on the side of the facing page, the ones next to the Calendar of Events? Those are the ones I am referencing.

They are not very expensive, and if you think whatever you have to say is important enough to purchase an ad, then it will put it in the calendar, with guaranteed placement.

Third, my column will be full of tips, and interviews of upcoming events.

Every time you visit our calendars, you should leave with a pocket full of options. You have my word on it!

Linda Dolly is the coordinator of arts and entertainment for Sun Community News.

www.suncommunitynews.com/events for the latest events

elcome to our redesigned publication. I was hired to help organize and spotlight the best events and activities in our area, via a Calendar of Events.

When I first saw the spots they wanted to fill, I was a little apprehensive.

My doubt was probably rooted in my memories of high school.

Let me explain-It was the seventies. Not clear enough?

In my teens, I used to suit up with the other athletes and take the bus to games.

It is amusing because, I didn’t enjoy sports, and was horrified when I was put into an actual game. However, for two sports a year I took the risk, because riding the bus was one of the best social activities of my high school.

With these memories firmly imprinted on my subconscious, I wasn’t sure I could unearth enough legitimate activities. I have selected the word “legitimate” because, personally, I can make an interactive game out of any situation.

Unfortunately, not everyone believes a swift game of “Empty the Dishwasher Fire Brigade” is fun. So, I was pretty sure I couldn’t get away with a bulleted list of ways to play “Fire Brigade.”

With a concerted effort we began compiling a list. It began when everyone working in our offices, funneled all their personal and professional “activities” related emails in my direction. Additionally, Susan, in our Ticonderoga office and Gayle, Maureen and I, in Elizabethtown, spent a week scouring the internet for regional venues.

We discovered there are gads of lists. Lists like islands of information…standing alone. There isn’t a lack of activities, but discovering them all in one place was certainly a challenge.

For example, yesterday, I went online in searching for such a list from a business I knew had interesting activities every week.

In my search, I found beautiful photographs, but that was not what I was looking to find. So, I hopped in my car to visit the owner. I told her about my column and asked why I couldn’t find anything to put next to her name.

She said, you weren’t on our official site. When she took me to her official site, sure enough there were many

entertaining things in which to participate. She printed 12 pages, and handed them to me.

Of course, you understand, I could only smile. If people didn’t know her official site, they would miss something cool.

And she certainly wasn’t the only game around.

Certainly, we needed one list. One place where everyone could go, and find out what their options were.

Now, hold onto your hats, because I think you are going to love what we have devised.

First there is a fantastic online calendar. Our strategy is to create a humongous, illustrated events list. If your business or organization who has something to promote, we want you to hop aboard.

Just log on at suncommunitynews.com/events.

Then move your cursor up to the top of the webpage, click “Add Event” or something similar.

Type the information you would like to share in the provided spots. If you have a photograph, add it! When you hit “Publish”, you will be helping create one of the area’s best.

There is no charge for what is essentially an online ad.

Even better, use our calendar on your website. Share your news and the details of other happenings in the area with your clients. And, again, free as our mountain air for an individual or business....But of course there are more elaborate options if your calendar need is heavy duty.

Stefanik << Continued from | p. 1

Stefanik said the Beyond the Border Action Plan - a long-term partnership built upon a perimeter to approach security and economic competitiveness established in 2011 - is critical to the North Country.

“It’s a way we can be a leading voice on our northern border issues,” said Stefanik.

She also mentioned that the Preclearance Act — an act authorizing the United States to preclear travelers and goods in Canada for entry into the United States — is critical to the North Country community, as well.

This fall, congress will be discussing more on border control issues, including issues Jim Phillips, president and CEO of the Canadian/American Border Trade Alliance, brought up in regards to the preclearance act, budgetary control and homegrown terrorism.

“Homegrown terrorism is probably the biggest threat to our domestic public and it’s a very difficult issue,” he said. “It’s becoming a very serious threat.”

TRANSPORTATION, INFRASTRUCTURE On July 29, the houses passed a three-month, $8 billion highway bill that would extend federal transportation funding until the end of October.

Though the bill isn’t an ideal way to fund their infrastructure, Stefanik said, the purpose of having that bill is to get a multi-year bill by the end of this year.

David Bray, property manager of the Imperial Industrial Park, asked Stefanik how long the it would take to get a long-term transportation budget passed. She said she’s optimistic there will be one by the end of this year.

“I think that if we could get a long-term transportation bill passed sooner than later,” Bray said, “it’s going to be a huge benefit to our area.”

Currently, the area makes mass transit items such as busses, trains, ambulances and other manufactured items. However, it lacks a exporting/importing bay — being the only developed nation in the world not authorized to have one.

“We ought to be encouraging manufacturing,” Stefanik said. “We ought to be encouraging exports of things that are made in the United States.”

Stefanik also focused on reauthorization of the Ex-Im (ExportImport) Bank, something that helps American companies sell products in overseas markets by providing loans to foreign buyers and insurance for sellers.

Stefanik explained this wouldn’t be any cost to taxpayers. So far, they have the majority of votes, but it’s just a matter of moving the legislation to the floor.

“I’m constantly voicing my frustration to leadership to encourage them to bring the Ex-Im reauthorization to the floor,” she said. “It’s primary for many of our manufacturers.”

TRADE CONFUSIONS Stefanik addressed the issue in regards to the public’s confusion on TPA (Trade Promotion Authority): what TPA is and why it’s so important to the North Country.

TPA is a partnership between congress and the administration that ensures the United States secures the most effective trade agreements possible, which will boost presidential authority in negotiating trade deals.

“It’s really an opportunity for the U.S. to play a lead economic role in the world,” Stefanik said. “I’m proud on my vote for that issue.”

The ‘Burgh Sun • August 8, 2015 | 11

Though Stefanik spoke highly on the TPA, multiple guests from the roundtable discussion, including director of regulatory affairs and consulting for the Deringer Logistics Consulting Group Robert DeCamp, were more concerned with what comes after TPA, which is TPP. TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) is a treaty/trade deal between the United States and 11 other countries — Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam — that would align to provide a global alternative trade to China, an agreement the Bush administration began discussing in 2008.

“It allows the U.S. to take a leading voice and a leading role in ensuring that we’re exporting our manufactured goods,” Stefanik said.

“This is going to continue as a debate as we head toward finalizing the transpacific partnership.”

GROWING AGRICULTURE This past weekend, Stefanik visited Essex Farm Institute, along with numerous dairy farms, apple orchards and the wine trail.

What she saw when she visited these places was the ability to attract young people to this region and encourage the North Country’s high school and college graduates to stay here.

“I think that the future of growing our economy of the North Country is very tied to promoting agriculture,” she said. “Agriculture is just as important as manufacturing.”

Colin Read, co-owner of the Champlain Wine Company, agreed with what Stefanik said on growing agriculture and getting both kids and graduates involved with it.

“We have so many kids who want to come in and do something in agriculture,” Read said. “We have to create room and an opportunity for them.”

Plattsburgh looks to preserve Fort Brown history

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh got rejected for a grant to preserve Fort Brown and make it more accessible to community members and visitors Monday, July 27.

The city applied for a grant from the American Battlefield Protection Program late last year in winter. They’re planning to reapply next year.

“I think we have a good strong case, but we have to find out a way to make our case even stronger,” said Bruce Lawson, community development director for the City of Plattsburgh. “We understand the Battle of Plattsburgh to be a very important part of American history and we would like to have more people see that and experience that.”

Out of the three forts used during the 1800s — Fort Moreau, Fort Brown and Fort Scott — Fort Brown is the only one left standing and the City of Plattsburgh hoped to make it known to all.

Fort Brown still stands on top of a hill on the side of Route 9 — between the cemetery and the national guard facility — with the U.S. Oval, the old Plattsburgh Barracks, across the street.

Next to the road is a yellow and blue historic marker, and on top of the hill sits a large boulder in front of the trench-like, earthenmound fort. However, people have trouble getting up there or have never noticed it being there.

Since the fort is off of busy Route 9, there’s no parking. So, the City of Plattsburgh considered whether they would add parking or access so that the public could get in the fort and see it.

The city would’ve also used the money for degrading purposes and extra signage to tell the history of the fort.

“It’s amazing how it’s still standing much like it did 200 years ago,” Lawson said. “You can imagine how frightening it would be to be in there with 50-100 soldiers never knowing when the attack will come and knowing that the only thing that’s going to save you is your bravery and a little bit of dirt.”

THREE FORTS HISTORY All three forts were constructed prior to the battle.

“They were all built in the summer and early fall of 1814,” said John Krueger, City of Plattsburgh historian. “The idea was to seal off this split of land because they knew the British were coming from the North and the British had designs on the Village of Plattsburgh.”

On the morning of Sept. 11, 1814, Krueger said, there would’ve been at least 750 soldiers manning Fort Brown behind a way of sharpened sticks with large pieces of artillery.

Named after Jacob Brown, an American commander in the War of 1812, the fort anchors Saranac River.

Fort Scott, an earthen redoubt near Lake Champlain somewhere behind 64-70 U.S. Oval, anchored Lake Champlain.

The fort was named after Winfield Scott, another hero from the War of 1812, and was leveled when the railroad was put in during the 1870s.

Fort Moreau, named after one of Napoleon’s generals, was situated somewhere near the northern end of the U.S. Oval.

This fort was leveled by the army in the early 1890s when the parade ground was being established.

Stone markers stand near the approximate sites of Fort Moreau and Fort Scott.

“This is a pretty incredible piece of history,” Lawson said. “I think that the Battle of Plattsburgh is such of important piece of history that we’re going to do anything we can to help tell that story.”

Cemeteries << Continued from | p. 1

THE SOPER CEMETERY A historic marker is placed on Shingle Street between Flat Rock and Staley roads.

“This cemetery is just a family plot,” Benkwitt said. “There’s only a few headstones in this overgrown wooded area four miles away from the other cemetery.”

Currently, the only markers that still exist have the names of Ayer, Hall, Robinson and Soper families with the earliest burials on the markers being 1832-1863.

When families relocated or died off, this cemetery, like many, become overgrown.

This early 1800s cemetery has been recently reclaimed and cared for by Steve and Deanna Geppner. Jeanne Staley owns the property on which the cemetery is located.

After Ladue accrued money and gold nuggets, he returned to Schuyler Falls to marry Mason and adopted a baby boy.

Turner is the surname of the people that first settled in what is the current Town of Schuyler Falls around Felton Road.

SCHUYLER FALLS CEMETERY Known as the “New” Cemetery, the marker on Felton Road commemorates the 1876 official formation for the not-for-profit cemetery and association, who’s responsible for maintaining the cemetery through additional plot sales and through tax-deductible donations.

“On the left is the new section and the right is the old section,” said Rosella Martineau, treasurer of the cemetery association. “It goes back to the 1700s.”

Many early settlers were buried in the cemetery with the surnames Eels, Keet, Mason, Merchant, Lobdell, Turner, Weaver and Ladue.

“We have the Merchant’s who were one of the first settlers in Schuyler Falls,” Martineau said.

“And the Eels used to have a cidermill.”

OTHER IMPORTANT SURNAMES Joseph Ladue was a native son of Schuyler Falls and founder of Dawson City in the Yukon.

A simple country farmer, he traveled seeking his fame and fortune in gold in hopes to marry his sweetheart Catherine “Kitty” Mason since her father refused to accept the marriage because he was poor.

During his journey, he ended up in Alaska with some claims and realized the miners and people trying to find the gold needed a town to get services, so he bought the land on the other

Feel the Bern’: The Upstate NY for Bernie Sanders group hosted an event for community members to get together and watch Bernie Sanders first-ever live video feed on the evening of Wednesday, July 29.

in our society.

“It makes sense and people can relate to that.”

During Sanders’ live video feed, he brought into discussion the matter of uneven distribution of wealth of income.

He said it’s unfair the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and how it’s not right that major corporations make billions of dollars and sometimes pay nothing in federal taxes.

He continued on to say that it’s wrong that people are working 40 to 50 hours a week and still living in poverty.

If elected, he wants to raise minimum wage to

$15 an hour.

“I’m really happy for what he plans to do for the working man because there’s a lot of them out there,” said local citizen Dylan Best.

“That’s who needs the help.”

Instead of getting a higher education, another topic Sanders brought up, Best learned the trade of building houses.

“I think Bernie could really help someone like me become equal with the people who got a higher education even though I’m building their homes,” he said. “I want equal people privilege.”

Sanders addressed the issue of college rates — how people who received a higher education are living in debt and how people couldn’t attend college because of high rates.

Rachel Chrestler is one of those people.

“I’ve never been to college and I can’t get a job without a college education,” she said. “I’m just as smart as this person and that person but because I didn’t have the chance to go to college I can’t get a job.”

It’s unfair, she said.

DIFFICULT ISSUES Along with matters of money, Sanders also discussed combating racism, granting citizenship to illegal immigrants and a right for mothers to stay home with their children.

“These are all very difficult,” Sanders said during the live video feed. “But when we all stand together, there is nothing we cannot

accomplish.”

The crowd roared in applause and the night ended with light refreshments and discussion with co-organizer Mary Alice Shemo about the issues he addressed.

“The country is in desperate need of new leadership that pays attention to the people at large, and I see Bernie doing that,” Shemo said. “I don’t think the other ones would provide good leadership at large and I think there are some of them, not naming any names, who would embarrass the country.”

The organization of this event sprung from a group of people who

came together to explore the idea of working for Sanders’ campaign and find more people to join them.

Besides trying to get Sanders’ to come to Plattsburgh, the group plans on reaching out to colleges and universities and to establish student groups throughout upstate New York.

“Getting the students involved is something we would like to be part of,” Martin said. “I think the more generations you get working on something like this the more holistic it is.”

For more information on the group or its grassroots movement, visit their Facebook page “Upstate NY for Bernie Sanders.”

Plattsburgh State AD Bruce Delventhal set to retire PLATTSBURGH — Following a decade of service to SUNY Plattsburgh as the Cardinals’ director of athletics, Bruce Delventhal has announced his decision to retire on Jan.1, 2016.

“It has been an honor to be the athletic director at SUNY Plattsburgh for the past 10 years,” Delventhal said. “I have been fortunate to work with a terrific coaching staff and wonderful student-athletes who have represented their teams, the college and the community in the very best possible manner. It is impossible to properly express my thanks and admiration for the efforts of our students and their coaches. My pride in SUNY Plattsburgh intercollegiate athletics is beyond words.”

Delventhal has guided the SUNY Plattsburgh athletics department into one of the premier NCAA Division III programs in the nation. Under his leadership, the Cardinals have enjoyed unparalleled success at the conference, regional and national levels. Of particular note is the Cardinals’ women’s ice hockey program, which has won a total of four national championships (2007, 2008, 2014, 2015) — a mark no other NCAA Division III women’s hockey program has reached.

In total, 46 teams have appeared in various NCAA championships since Delventhal came to Plattsburgh. Additionally, SUNY Plattsburgh student-athletes have earned scores of All-American, All-Region and All-Conference honors through the course of Delventhal’s SUNY Plattsburgh career.

“One of the great pleasures of my job at the college over the last 10 years has been working with Bruce,” SUNY Plattsburgh President Dr. John Ettling said. “He has led a superb coaching staff in a manner to make any college president proud. Under Bruce’s guidance, our athletic programs have been clean, well run, successful in competition and always mindful of their fundamental purpose: to mold character and guide young men and women toward the achievement of their

academic goals.”

In addition to the on-field accolades of SUNY Plattsburgh’s student-athletes during Delventhal’s time as director, the gradepoint average of the student-athletes has been higher than that of the general student population.

“I have greatly enjoyed working with Bruce as a colleague since his arrival on campus,” SUNY Plattsburgh’s Vice President for Student Affairs Bryan Hartman said. “He is a great advocate for our athletic program.

During his tenure, athletics saw many positive changes through several facility upgrades and increased sponsorships. His unwavering support for athletes and coaches has manifested itself through many team and individual successes both on and off the field/court.

Bruce sets the tone for the entire department in terms of serving the local community.”

A national search for Delventhal’s replacement will begin early in the upcoming fall semester, said Hartman.

Delventhal was responsible for creating the Friends of Plattsburgh State Athletics — the fundraising sector of the department — and oversaw numerous facility renovations which included a $2.1 million facelift for the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena in 2008 and the installment of three LED video panels, which replaced the scoreboard and provided in-house video capabilities at the same facility, before the 2012-13 season.

Bruce Delventhal

His involvement in collegiate athletics goes well beyond SUNY Plattsburgh. He is currently the secretary/treasurer for the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) — a position he has held since 1988. Delventhal also serves as a member of the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee and from 2009-13 sat on the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Championship Committee. In January 2015, Delventhal received the John “Snooks” Kelley Founders Award from the AHCA for having contributed to the overall growth and development of the sport of ice hockey in the United States.

A graduate of Hamilton College and a holder of a master’s degree from Princeton Seminary, Delventhal served as the head coach of two NCAA men’s ice hockey squads before becoming SUNY Plattsburgh’s director of athletics. He held head coaching appointments at Union (N.Y.), the Rochester Institute of Technology and was an assistant coach at Princeton. In 1984-85, he led RIT on a postseason run which culminated in a 5-1 triumph over Bemidji State for the program’s second national championship.

Upon the conclusion of his coaching career, and directly before he occupied the center seat of Cardinal athletics, Delventhal spent eight years working as the North America sales manager for the fishing tackle division of Yo-Zuri and Seaguar — a pair of Japanese companies.

“I want to thank all of our SUNY Plattsburgh fans and the local business community for their outstanding support and friendship,” Delventhal said. “The members of the college community at all levels have been a pleasure to work with and I will miss them. I am very confident that there is not an athletic director within SUNY who has received and enjoyed the amount of support and friendship that I have during my tenure. I do believe that once a Cardinal always a Cardinal.”
