City reaches agreement with Plattsburgh Suites By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh executed a settlement agreement with the Plattsburgh Suites of no refund, payment of all back taxes over the next four years. This agreement, discussed and approved during the Sept. 3 common council meeting, includes an immediate payment of $500,000 and four annual payments of $85,000 and set assessed value at $5.3 million to be increased by 2.5 per-
cent annually until 2020. “The settlement we proposed was accepted because if you go to court, there’s a downsize risk, but if you settle, you manage exactly what you risk,” Mayor James Calnon said. “Our feeling was that this was about as good of a deal as we would get in or out of court.” LAST MEETING A federal bankruptcy court recently laid out a plan for the Plattsburgh Suites to pay the city, over five years, the $877,000 it owes in back taxes
GibsonÊ Brothers Eric and Leigh Gibson to host the International Bluegrass Music Awards ELLENBURG DEPOT — Eric and Leigh Gibson will take the stage not as performers, but hosts for the International Bluegrass Music Awards. The Ellenburg Depot natives will host the awards ceremony Oct. 1 at the Duke Teah Energy Center for the Performing arts in Dowling Writer Raleigh, N.C. “It’s an emotional thing for someone to be recognized and to get on that stage and have your name called out is an unreal feeling,” Eric said. “It’s a feeling of validation and it’s a moving thing. “It really is an honor to be hosting the International Bluegrass Music Awards.” The Gibsons and bandmates Mike Barber (bass), Clayton Campbell (fiddle) and Jesse Brock (mandolin) are also nominated for awards in four categories: Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, Album of the year for “Brotherhood,” Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year for “What a Wonderful Savior Is He” from the album “Brotherhood.” Bandmate Brock is a nominee under Instrumental Performers of the Year from mandolin. The evening will mark the latest chapter in The Gibson Brothers history with the awards show, dating back to 1998 when they won Emerging Artist of the year. >> Story Continued | pg. 13
and interest from 2013 and 2014. The city, as a debtor, had to approve the plan before it could be implemented. Councilors unanimously agreed to accept these terms. “The problem of any negotiation is that you try to get to a point where nobody is really satisfied but both parts can live with it,” Calnon said. “I think we’re at a point where we can clearly live with it. “The fact that we can get all our back taxes is a really important part because that puts
money in our cash flow; you never want to lose cash.” ITS HISTORY Plattsburgh Suites, known locally as College Suites, is an almost 400-bed dormitorytype building at 59 Broad St adjacent to the SUNY Plattsburgh campus that opened in 2009.

P’burgh starting new microgrid feasibility study SUNY Plattsburgh, City of Plattsburgh and more to partner for NY Prize competition

PLATTSBURGH — With more severe flooding and winter storms, Plattsburgh will be starting a microgrid feasibility study. SUNY Plattsburgh, the City of Plattsburgh, Meadowbrook Healthcare, Plattsburgh City School District, Plattsburgh Municipal Lighting Department, Samuel F. Vilas Nursing Home and University of Vermont Health Network - Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital are partnering in hopes of winning more than $7 million to build a microgrid. “One of the challenges we face in New York State is our sources of power are sometimes a long way away from our consumers of power,” Mayor James Calnon said. “Our electricity comes from Niagara Falls.” Plattsburgh is one of more than 80 finalists who are in the first stage of the NY Prize competition, run by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Should Plattsburgh make it to stage 2, they would receive up to $1 million in funding for audit-grade engineering de >> Story Continued | pg. 11

City establishes debt of 2014-15 capital expenditures
CITY MARINA CONSTRUCTION One of the bond resolutions focused on the newly constructed Plattsburgh City Marina, which cost $820,000 to construct and officially opened June 6.
CITY HALL REPAIRS The City of Plattsburgh established a $350,000 capital project to fix the roof, renovate the stones in the entryway, replace carpeting in the council chambers, improve molding upstairs after a roof leak and make it accessible for people with disabilities. So far, the city has repainted its city parking lot to make it ADA compliant. The next steps include changing the walkway, fixing the handrails, changing all the doors, installing a handicap bathroom and starting a city-wide analysis of the City of Plattsburgh. This project came about after the North Country Center for Independence called upon the City of Plattsburgh to conduct a full ADA accessibility audit over the next year of all cityowned properties, programs and services. The American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and guarantees equal access for people with disabilities to government buildings and programs and businesses that offer services and programs to the public. “We have a lot to celebrate
that the law exists and we have a lot to celebrate that there are a lot of places and areas that do pretty well,” said Robert Poulin, executive director of NCCI, in a previous interview. “But people with disabilities cannot access services at City Hall or the City Clerk’s office and they can’t go to public meetings to hear about the decisions and take part in city government. “That’s a major violation of people’s civil rights.” Currently, the only building that’s fully accessible in the City of Plattsburgh is the Plattsburgh Public Library, who just became fully accessible in July after they added a handicap bathroom. DURKEE, BRIDGE STREET Last fall, the City of Plattsburgh took Highway Oil since they didn’t pay their taxes for three years. Once the city acquired the property, they spent $40,000 to clean up the oil tanks. They plan to use the property for their broader vision of Durkee Street. In 2003, the City of Plattsburgh began discussing what to do with Durkee Street. So far, there’s been a lot of interest in doing something with the property, currently inhabited by the bigcity parking lot and the abandoned Highway Oil building. The mayor and former director of community development, Bruce Lawson, discussed the possibilities of the parking lot being turned into a gathering area, with the Farmer’s Market having its own designated area along the waterfront and a stacked parking lot. “Most cities would die to have this beautiful waterfront,” Lawson said in a previous interview. “We’re blessed with wonderful natural assets and it’s an awesome resource we have available.” OTHER DEBTS MENTIONED When the city was formed, it had one sewer - making the storm sewer and sanitary sewer combined. When it rains really hard, sometimes the city gets sewer overflow. Though it’s monitored and reported when that happens, the city is on a 20-year plan to separate the sewers for $150,000. “It’s a big deal,” Calnon said. “It’s a pretty complicated system.” Other debts mentioned included street reconstruction or street resurfacing similar to work done on South Catherine Street and North Margaret Street, fixing the collapsed wall in Macdonough Park and various equipment purchases.

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh Common Council approved seven bond resolutions authorizing the issuance of $3,261,600 in additional debt. The new resolutions authorize borrowing of $1,485,000 for street resurfacing, $820,000 for the Plattsburgh City Marina, $350,000 for City Hall repairs, $316,600 in equipment purchases, $150,000 for storm sewer separation, $100,000 for Macdonough Park retaining wall reconstruction and $40,000 of remediation work performed at the 40 Bridge St. city property. “The bond resolution is simply establishing the debt,” Mayor James Calnon said. “The bond resolutions during that meeting really just sent out the amounts of money, what they were for and gave us authorization to either bond or BAN depending on what’s most important.” There are two ways that the City of Plattsburgh finances things: bonds or BANs (Bond Anticipation Notes). Normally, the City of Plattsburgh accumulates debt over a period of two to five years until they get up to a point where they need a bond — basically a short-term loan in anticipation of a larger long-term loan. Calnon said $8 to $10 million is a good bond size for the city, so the city is contemplating whether to BAN or bond for the next year since they’re at the entry part of that amount.
The City of Plattsburgh Common Council approved a contract, the final piece of operation, March 19 with the Neagley & Chase Construction Company, LLC for $301,000 and began construction on March 25. Steve Peters, superintendent of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh, had two goals in mind when establishing the marina: economic development and revenue. Peters claimed, and the mayor agrees, that the new marina will eventually become a new generator for the community with the potential to generate approximately $1.2 million over 20 years after bond payments and operating expenses. “We’re projecting the debt to be paid out by the users,” Calnon said. “That won’t cost the taxpayers any money and taxes won’t go up because of it.”

Get muddy: Rockeater Race on tap By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — The Rockeater Race will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 starting at noon at the Plattsburgh City Beach. “This is definitely an unique opportunity,” said Steve Peters, organizer of the event and superintendent of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh. “It’s one of those events that’s becoming iconic for the region. “It really is a great time.” The 3.1 mile obstacle race will require participants to crawl through sand, walk on planks, climb up hills, jump over fire and maneuver through mud. “It’s by far the best mudpit anywhere,” Peters said. “Our guys take really great care to make it nice and soupy and messy.” There are three waves for this race for both adult men and women. The waves take place 2, 2:30 and 3 p.m. The kids obstacle course, called the PebbleEater, also has three waves taking place: 1/2 mile race at noon for kids ages 4 to 6, 3/4 mile race at 12:30 for kids ages 7 to 9 and a 1 1/2 mile race for kids ages 10-14. Parents are welcome to accom-
pany their kids for the noon and 12:30 waves. After the kids obstacle course and before the adults, a costume contest will take place at 1:30 p.m. before the muddy and sloppy carnage. Following the obstacle course races, there will be an after party at the beach where both participants and visitors can listen to music, grab a snack at the Cabana Beach Bar or talk about their muddy and sloppy experience. “When we’re kids, it’s easy to get dirty, but as adults, we don’t really get that opportunity anymore,” Peters said. “This is one of those events that you can pull out your inner child — get dirty, get muddy and do something you wouldn’t normally do.” Registrants must be 15 or older. Anyone under 18 must have their parent or guardian present on race day to sign a waiver. Registration costs $41 for adults and $15 for kids. The last day of registration is Sept. 17. If the waves don’t exceed 150 people, there will be race day registrations. However, that doesn’t guarantee a T-shirt.

at SUNY Plattsburgh was increasing, also a time during the recession. Once constructed, enrollment decreased. “They built it for a greater student body,” Calnon said. “They didn’t get the occupancy they expected.” Also, there was a plane crash in August 2012 when United Group founder and Chairman Walter Uccellini was killed in a single-engine aircraft shortly after it took off from Albany International Airport — a trip to Plattsburgh to talk to the Luck Brothers about the debt they owed the contractor. THE ASSESSMENT While the city accepted the plan for payment of back taxes and made a settle

agreement, it took awhile to get to that point. Like many businesses, Calnon said, Plattsburgh Suites challenged the assess valuation that they had placed on it for a number of years. Initially, Plattsburgh Suites was assessed at $12 million by the City of Plattsburgh based on the value of the business gathered by two outside appraisals. Plattsburgh Suites sought to have the assessment lowered from $12 million to $3 million. The agreed assessment was $5.3 million as determined by the meeting on Sept. 3. “For a lot of reasons, we prefer students to live in them — Plattsburgh Suites, Renaissance Village, dorms — because they tend to be safer and better regulated,” said Calnon.

Musical event to benefit Mooers UMC building fund By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
MOOERS — The Mooers United Methodist Church will be hosting a concert on Sunday, Sept. 13 at 3 p.m. “One Foundation” is a musical program of traditional, gospel and contemporary church music by The Stand-Ins Men’s Quartet — director and lead Brad Catton, tenor Rod Conant, baritone Clark Forster and bass Alan Tetreault — accompanied by pianist Leslie Scholtz from the Plattsburgh United Methodist Church. “These little churches don’t have organists; instead, they

worship with recorded music,” said Sally Chase-White, pastor of the Mooers United Methodist Church. “It’s a great opportunity to see and listen to something different. “I hope people will appreciate it and come out for it.” Proceeds will benefit the Mooers United Methodist Church’s building repair fund. Starting about 11 months ago, Chase-White undertook a masonry project to fix the ravages of many winters on the old brick church. Numerous cracks were showing along the walls and foundation, and bricks were falling from the walls almost daily. Currently, some bricks need to be replaced, coating needs to be put on and money spent on this project needs to be replenished that way the church will have something to fall back on if they need the money for another project. “This is not a renovation and this is not something that just makes us prettier or more attractive,” Chase-White said. “This is to save our skins so that we’ll have a church here in 50 years.” To finance the project, the church hosted a variety of different fundraisers — car washes, harvest dinners, yard sales, a mini farmer’s market, a thrift store, a returnable bottle receptacle outside of the church and, now, a musical performance. So far, the church has raised $17,000. Their overall goal is to raise $30,000 by the end of this calendar year. “We truly need to support the churches we have because there’s not a lot of emphasis, in some parts of society, on religion,” Chase-White said. “It’s a place where we can find a home.” The concert costs $10 and includes refreshments. Tickets can be purchased at the church office, by calling 518-2367129 or at the door. For more information about the event or the performers, call the Mooers United Methodist Church at 518-236-7129 or the Plattsburgh United Methodist Church at 518-563-2992.

Destination Downtown returns for another Sunday By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — A variety of music and interesting shopping opportunities will be returning to downtown Plattsburgh on a Sunday afternoon. Destination Downtown will take place Sept. 13 from noon to 3 p.m. for residents and visitors to enjoy downtown businesses on a Sunday. “The combination of history, access to the river and lake, a new Saranac River Walk, a tree house, bike trails, a new marina and the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail have all attracted a growing number of visitors to the downtown core of the City of Plattsburgh,” said Colin Read, co-president of the Plattsburgh Downtown Association. “Downtown merchants, through the Plattsburgh Downtown Association, realize that visitors want to enjoy Plattsburgh every day but especially on Saturdays and Sundays. “The PDA is determined to encourage more shop owners to make the sound long term decision to open Sundays during the summer so that we can create a new culture of Sunday tourism for Plattsburgh and this Destination Downtown event is our effort to raise awareness about the possibilities over the entire weekend of the city.” This event started this year on May 17 by PDA, with suggestion from Jennifer Boyer of Warren Tire, in order to get businesses rolling and residents and visitors in the downtown area. On this day, approximately 30 businesses opened their doors that Sunday afternoon to achieve two goals: build awareness for resi-
dents and visitors on what’s going on downtown and encourage more businesses to consider remaining open on Sundays. “We want people to think about shopping locally,” Boyer said in a previous interview. “We feel it’s important to support the downtown location even if you’re not normally open on Sundays.” This year, so far, there will be over 20 businesses participating in this event on various streets in downtown Plattsburgh. BRIDGE STREET TRENDS North Country Co-op will be offering free samples of its products, while Kinetic running will be offering 25 percent off of select items in the store. DressCode is normally open on Sundays. Julie Woodly, owner of DressCode, believes other businesses should be too. “It’s a really great day to bring in business because everybody’s off,” said Woodly in a previous interview. BRINKERHOFF STREET STOPS Loreman’s will be participating in this event along with Bagel Pit, who will be offering free coffee with bagel purchase, Stoneworks Massage & Skincare, who will be offering five minute chair massages, and Mid-Century Mad Vintage Variety, who will be having a 50 percent off sidewalk sale. Strand Center for the Arts, whose mission is to help spread and promote art and culture throughout the North Country, will be showing a free movie screening of “Babe.” “The Strand Center for the Arts, we feel, is anchored downtown,” said Joshua Kretser,” BLANK for the SCA, in a previous interview.
“This is an amazing collaboration between downtown businesses to help attract more people to downtown.” CITY HALL PLACES Along with Delish offering 10 percent off of their menu, Cache Elegant — a store that sells a variety of products, including accessories, apparel, gifts and more - will offer 10 percent off any item over $10 (excluding artisans and vendors). Champlain Wine Company will be offering free oil and vinegar tasting and 20 percent off wine by the glass or bottle. Read, who’s always open on Sundays, said a lot of his customers go in saying how little there is open on Sunday. “We want to show that it is a worthwhile effort to try to get more businesses open on a Sunday,” Read said. “We hope to get more traffic for them and get them more exposure.” FIVE MORE STREETS Maui North Ski, Bike and Board will be offering hands-on fun. During this events, guests can participate in one of the many demos, including how to fix a flat on a bike and how to ride bikes efficiently. Also guests will be able to test-ride the bikes and return for a big blow out sale of last year’s snow inventory and more. “We’re trying to make it fun and hands-on for people,” said Kim Manion, co-owner of Maui North Ski, Bike and Board. “We’re trying to embrace downtown.” Rescued Treasures on Clinton Street, who’s normally open six days a week, will be open seven days that week - a thrift store run to assist the Elmore SPCA in Peru.
“It’s an unique assortment of merchandise,” volunteer Lyndia Livingstone said. “There’s something for everyone.” Smooth Moves owner Joe Kovacs, who’s also part of PDA and First Weekends, said in a previous interview he “will support any event that happens down in Plattsburgh.” Other businesses participating include Olive Ridley’s, Plattsburgh City Marina, A Beautiful Mess, Cornerstone Bookshop, Music Shop and others. MORE THAN BUSINESSES In addition to the discounts and free items offered at these various shops, there will also be a number of entertainment events throughout the afternoon at various downtown locations. With presentation of a commemorative Battle of Plattsburgh button, participants can visit the Kent Delord Museum, the Battle of Plattsburgh Museum and the Clinton County Historical Association Museum. Other Battle of Plattsburgh events will be happening as well. “Our goal is to show people and businesses that opening up on a Sunday can be a viable thing to do, especially in the summertime,” Read said. “If we could just have more shops open on Sundays, downtown will be more attractive, and if it does become more attractive, the shops will be glad they opened on Sundays.” Participants can pick up and drop off a Destination Downtown Passport and program at 30 City Community and Visitor’s Center (Champlain Wine Company) or at the Plattsburgh City Marina.
Strand restored to its former glory By Teah Dowling
from the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts to the Strand Center for the Arts.
PLATTSBURGH — The Strand Center for the Arts will host the grand reopening of the restored Strand Theatre Saturday, Sept. 26. The main performance WELL-STRUNG, The Singing String Quartet, features classical musicians who sing their own spin on the music of artists such as Mozart, Ravel, Beethoven, Taylor Swift, Green Day, Katy Perry and more. This reopening will mark the beginning of the first season, which will feature three to four movies a week ranging in genre along with a variety of theatrical performances. “We’ve realized that with the near completion of the Strand Theatre that we have an enormous responsibility to the community,” said Joshua Kretser, executive director of SCA. “There’s a large population of the community that really haven’t been exposed to different types of performances. “So, we want in our first season to have a nice cross section of different performing arts so that we can see what the community responds well to.”
THEATER CHANGES The last step toward restoration that started in the beginning of summer included lighting, sound and rigging equipment and other technical infrastructures needed to attract and host premiere performances. The backstage area, which has a lot of fly space, was renovated so that the theater can have theatrical performances with set pieces of all sizes. Before that, the Strand Theatre received a new roof, electrical wiring, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, sprinkler systems, seats and auditorium, along with HD cinema equipment, including surround sound, HD digital projector and screen that fits the entire perineum of the stage. The Strand Theatre also has all new dressing rooms in the basement, two lifts to make the building ADA compliant a grand chandelier donated by Swarovski Crystal and a 1924 Wurlitzer Opus 970 organ donated by Leonard and Louise Johnson. “It was our duty to restore, as close as possible, the theater to its original state in 1924,” Kretser said. “To experience the restoration is amazing.”
teah@suncommunitynews.com
REBRANDING CHANGES Prior to the performance, the Boire Benner Group will unveil the new look and feel of the SCA with a short interactive mixed media rebranding presentation. Boire Benner Group is a Plattsburgh-based marketing and design firm who has been working on a comprehensive rebranding for the SCA and the Strand Theatre. “Boire Benner Group shares many of the same visions with the Strand Center based around uniting our community, empowering people and promoting a love for the arts,” said Aaron Benner, who’s part of the group, in a statement. “We’re excited about the reopening of the Strand Theatre and its future as a meeting place for this community and we’re honored to partner with them for their rebranding.” During this presentation, they’ll unveil a new website and logo to lift the confusions SCA has encountered by community members over the years when they changed their name
STRAND HISTORY The Strand Theatre was originally built as a Vaudeville Theatre in 1924. Soon after it was built, Vaudeville slowly started to become a dying art and the theater changed hands a number of times. Owners of the theater tried to sustain the performing arts, but it soon became a movie house and went through a few different reincarnations as movie houses until SCA purchased it. Although SCA, known during that time as the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, purchased the Strand Center Theatre in 2004, they didn’t start restoring it until 2007 due to fundraising. “Our goal was to do this for the community as debt-free as
possible,” said Leigh Mundy, secretary of the board for SCA, in a previous interview. “That’s why it’s taken such a long time.” IN DEBT SCA has spent around $4 million on the restoration and they’re about The Strand Center for the Arts tried its best $400,000 in debt.

Tickets purchased prior to the day of the performance by SCA members, seniors, military and students will receive a discount of $5 per ticket.

Bizarre world of politics
.S. Politics is one of the biggest money businesses in the world. In so many ways the process to gain political influence has no boundaries. As citizens of this great democracy we would like to think those involved in the business of politics would look beyond petty skirmishes and foolish statements, but that, perhaps, would be expecting too much from those in control of our government and those who seek control over our government. In the current political climate the race for the highest office in the land seems mired in contradictions. Both party’s leading candidates are doing things that would have been unimaginable in prior elections. In the past a candidate wouldn’t think of insulting a voting block like the Hispanic population, yet the leading Republican candidate repeatedly does just that. A candidate would never rope themselves away from the press and refuse to answer questions leaving the talking heads to present their own version of the issue and chip away at the candidate’s credibility, yet the leading Democrat has. A candidate would never show their face in public if more than 70 percent of the public thought the best one word description for them was “liar” and the second best description was “distrustful”. When President Obama was elected he was described as a very likeable person. So who would vote for a candidate best described as “arrogant” or “blowhard”? The election is likely to be a referendum on the current state of the American political system. The simple fact that these candidates are still in the race is amazing alone, but to be leading the race clearly shows the nation is hungry for, not just new leadership, but a very different type of leader. The American electorate is tired of politicians who promise to serve and address the nation’s issues only to end up being more interested in themselves, their party and their own legacy. Childish behavior has no place in American politics nor in a serious society that seeks to uplift its people and encourage increased participation.

Risks outweigh rewards in oil tanker storage plan A
s if thousands of oil tankers clattering through the North Country wasn’t enough, movement is underway to store them here, too. A local railway has recently revealed their proposal to shore up their sagging business model: Indefinitely store a fleet of decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs. That’s the pitch Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis made to the Warren County Board of Supervisors earlier this summer. Packing the lines with some 500 cars would help the struggling company turn a profit, Ellis told lawmakers. Perhaps even seven figures, a much-needed injection of capital as the company attempts to shore up their struggling tourist transit line. The concept would actually be darkly humorous if the company, which is part of Iowa Pacific Holdings, wasn’t so earnest about carrying it out. Oil traffic is already a hot-button issue as fleets continue to ship their payload from North Dakota to downstate refineries. They do so through some of the most fragile terrain in the country, including on tracks located just feet from Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Boreas and Opalescent rivers. While first responders and emergency service agencies continue to receive disaster training, all readily admit that a spill would be catastrophic for the region, perhaps even irreversible. What’s more, the dangers posed by this uptick in train traffic is one of the few issues upon which the diverse crew of stakeholders across the Adirondack Park actually agree, which makes the railway’s plan to create a toxic waste graveyard that much more bizarre. The proposal also contradicts the state’s vision for the region. If the plan comes into fruition, these cars, which do not meet current safety standards, will be stored near the tracts of newly acquired state land that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly flagged as a hotspot for economic development and increased tourism opportunities. Not so fast, argues the railway. The arrangement would be a temporary one as they examine how to update the tankers, some 500 of them, to meet bolstered safety standards. After that, the tankers would be spirited off the tracks and back into service. But there are too many unanswered questions: How much residual oil will be left in the trains? Will they be inspected prior to arriving at their destination or afterwards? How many cars will eventually be stored? Will the strategy spread to neighboring counties? Will local municipalities be compensated for the risk?
Will it set a precedent for the storage of additional hazardous materials within the Adirondack Park? Furthermore, the wheels of government move slowly, especially at the federal level, and we have no reason to believe a temporary arrangement wouldn’t take on more permanent tones, especially if the bottom continues to fall out of the oil-by-rail market. In fact, the tanker storage trend shows no sign of abating as shipments of crude continue to slow in the wake of newly-completed pipelines. Last month, Iowa Pacific Holdings told Reuters that they predict 50,000 cars will come off the tracks as the new rules are phased in. While it seems that simply turning these cars into scrap would be the most sensible option, analysts have said it’s an unlikely scenario considering the unpredictability of global energy trends. Companies have little to lose by simply hanging onto them and hoping for a reversal. Maybe they’ll leak oil, maybe they won’t. But no amount of reassurances and safeguards will negate the fact that creating a repository of tankers is anathema to the Adirondack Park’s identity as a global leader in environmental sustainability. We respect the fact that the company is in a tough spot. We hate to see local businesses suffering. But aside from tossing the subsidiary of a out-of-state company a temporary lifeline, we see no broader benefits coming from such an arrangement, only risks. Last week, the Warren County Board of Supervisors tasked their attorney with researching their options, while the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency look into the permitting process. We encourage our elected state and local officials to sound off against this arrangement, that is, unless they want to be in the tanker storage business. Such an agreement would only be within the best interests of one group. And that, we feel, violates the spirit of the Adirondack Park.

ADK Child Choir set to begin To the Editor: I am very happy to announce that after nearly a year of imagining and planning, the Adirondack Children’s Community Chorus is ready to begin� Our first session will take place Sunday, Sept. 13, at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church in Westport, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. This chorus is free and open to children from as far as their parents are willing to drive them from� We will meet three times a month and already have invitations to perform in a variety of venues- I’m very excited to share the details at our first session� We have a great gathering of musicians ready to inspire a love of music and pride of place in our kids including Alisa Endsley (check out her incredible career and work at her newly designed website at singforthestage.com) and Rose Chancler (here is an example of just one of Rose’s exceptional collaborations ricochetduo.com/about-2/rose-chancler-pianist/, she is also the founder and artistic director of Piano by Nature), Dan Berggren berggrenfolk.com/), the Sagamore Institute, Young Tradition Vermont and many more to come.

Consequences to raising minimum wage To the Editor: There are serious social consequences to a mandated high minimum wage that proponents need to consider other than as just a temporary band-aid fix to the issue of living wage inequality -- whether perceived or real. As minimum wage battles rage between employees: “A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats” and “Thank You for Courageous Stand on Minimum Wage”; and employers: “The Other Side of Minimum Wage”, keep in mind that there is a whole new generation of “smart” robots in the works just waiting to replace expensive employees. Before smart robot technology, labor could essentially dictate wage demands because companies had few viable alternatives to stay in business. But, now, powerful smart robots are shifting the balance of power. Think: driverless cars, drones and robotic food servers. Look at how even early-generation “dumb” robots have transformed business� When employee labor costs became unsustainable because of high union wage and benefit demands, automobile manufacturers replaced employees with mechanical robots to the extent that the newest plants essentially build far better cars far more efficiently than early plants -- with far less labor� And so it has been for every other business that needed to control labor costs. Likewise, when employee labor costs become unsustainable because of high minimum wage demands, do high minimum wage proponents expect businesses to just role over and absorb the new employee overhead costs? You can “bet the farm” that smart robot technology will be used to replace employees – and sooner than you think� Automation has been going on for decades. Early “dumb” robots mainly replaced repetitive assembly line tasks. The difference, however, is that today’s “smart” robots can replace individual employees doing individual tasks that involve decision-making. It’s entirely within the capability of smart robots to do the work of most employees. Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal put the number at 50 percent. I would guess 80 to 90 percent� With a $15 dollar minimum wage looming, it’s very reasonable to expect to see the first completely automated employee-free fast food businesses in only a few years -- at the most� Will it be McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken or, some startup newcomer? Closer to home (Plattsburgh): How about the first fully automated newspaper? Denpubs, perhaps? With satellite communications, cloud-storage data bases, drones and driverless cars who needs reporters and support staff when smart technology can do all these things? (Not at all a bad idea, Dan�) I don’t want to appear heartless, because I’m not, and just let employees displaced by smart technology fend for themselves -- which is essentially what happens after unemployment insurance benefits run out. Personally, I’ve been on both sides of the fence and understand how hard it is to earn a living in contemporary U.S. Society WHETHER AS AN EMPLOYEE OR AS AN EMPLOYER. As I have stated frequently in letters to this newspaper, I firmly stand by my assertion that it is not the job of American businesses to provide living wage jobs for employees. Mismanagement by government at all levels, of the effects of new smart technologies upon sustainable creation of living wage jobs is causing a serious social problem. It is the Federal government’s job to fix the problems that IT caused, not business caused. But, that’s the subject of another letter� David Safrany Half Moon Bay, CA
Thank You from the Eric Loiselle family To the Editor: Thank you will never say enough to everyone who participated in the Highway Dedication in honor of Sergeant Eric P. Loiselle in Olmstedville on Sunday, August 30, 2015. What a beautiful and memorable ceremony� A special Thank You to Sheriff Richard Cutting and the Essex County Officers for put-
ting together such a beautiful tribute; Senator Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec for your kind words; Bailey Margaret Williams for a wonderful singing of the National Anthem; Pastor Chad Hanneman for your prayers and support; the Plattsburgh Police Pipe and Drum Corp for the beautiful music; Wayne Williams and Edward Donley for playing Taps, the Patriot Riders for such an impressive flag presence; the Town of Minerva for helping in the planning of this event; NYS Police and Warren County Sheriffs for your participation; Minerva Service Organization for all your help with the dessert refreshments; Minerva First Responders; Mike Corey for being our photographer; Honored Guests and all attendees who took time from a beautiful Sunday afternoon to make the day special and offer your support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The family of Sgt. Eric P. Loiselle Minerva
Enough is enough To the Editor: On August 25, the Town Board of Ticonderoga passed Resolution #2732015 to hold an advisory referendum asking “Should the storage building at the Ticonderoga Armory be converted for use for the Ticonderoga Police Department?” Later in the week the Town Supervisor received a letter from Commissioner RoAnn M. Destito of the NYS Office of General Services (OGS) stating that “police activity, including the departure of police vehicles on emergency calls on such a small parcel, in our view are inconsistent with the current use and would violate the deed covenant.” Commissioner Destito concluded that the OGS has “determined that the plan may not proceed as described.” To persist in holding an advisory referendum in view of the OGS determination makes no sense. It’s time to put the Armory issue to bed and begin serious, practical study of viable options for relocating the Ticonderoga Police Department. The current process has been a waste of time, energy, and money. Whether you are a parent or grandparent of children participating programs at the Armory, or the child or grandchild of seniors utilizing the property, the Police Department proposal has been unviable from the start. It’s a shame that it took a determination from the OGS to put the brakes on a move that made no sense from the beginning. I look forward to the Town Board rescinding Resolution #273-2015 for an advisory referendum and moving forward with examining practical alternatives for a desperately needed police department building.

Exciting news at Ti High To the Editor: The Ticonderoga Central School District is committed to providing every student in our school community with all the tools they need to succeed, including providing nutritious meals that everyone can enjoy together. That is why we are excited to announce that we have qualified for the Community Eligibility Provision of the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program, which means that we are able to offer school breakfast and lunch to all students at no charge. All children enrolled in our school can eat free and there is no application required. We are writing to share this exciting news with you and to ask that you help ensure our meal program is a success by having your child participate in school breakfast and lunch every single day. We believe participation in the school breakfast and lunch program is important for a couple of reasons. First, we will be able to offer nutritious meals and teach the students the importance about making healthy choices when it comes to their diet. Secondly, participating in breakfast and lunch gives the students the tools to concentrate better, learn more, and saves you time and money at home. Because we received confirmation of this grant after our school calendars went to print, the application for free and reduced breakfast and lunch was included in the mailing. Please disregard that paperwork as these forms are no longer required. I hope you will join us and the school community in supporting this great new program by participating in the breakfast and lunch program. Please feel free to contact the school with any questions or special dietary needs. John C. McDonald Superintendant of Schools Mrs. Laurie Cossey Business Administrator
Get me out of Dodge To the Editor: I have been here seven years designing and building Rustic furniture. I go to auctions and sales. My store is full, every inch with furniture, collectibles and art. I have the best spot in the center of town, with the best landlords possible. They have truly earned a place in heaven for their kindness. I feel guilty coming into my store, I could never pay all the rent I owe. They know my store is dead. In seven years with all the talk of revitalization not one of the self righteous Pompous and Pius leaders have not been in my store, just to be aware of what I do. I don’t know if they should be called Pompous and Pius or Pontius Pilate. I have over $20,000 in inventory, I want out just half of that I’ll leave the music and coffee pot on and I’ll be gone. They say I can’t leave, I’m the anchor, the anchor is on the bottom of the lake. I do love the community and the people, but that does not pay the bills. George DeMars, ADK by George Ticonderoga
COMMENTARY
Little Bits Defunct words Gordie Little
Columnist
T
he older I get, the more I realize how many words I grew up with, are no longer in the everyday lexicon. If you take a moment between sips, you will no doubt come up with many names for coffee you haven’t heard in years. Try it: java, joe, mud, brew, battery acid, brain juice, high test and bean juice. Here’s another word you might not remember: wattle. I mentioned it to my friend Les, asking him to use it in a sentence. His response? “Wattle you come up with next?” Laura is a former neighbor living in Franklin County. I spotted a photo of a marvelous fence construction in her yard a while ago. It appears to be an eight-foot-diameter circle of twigs woven between and around sixteen upright poles. She referred to it as a wattle and seeing the word in print caused me to laugh out loud or LOL, as they say in text talk. How this young woman became familiar with such an ancient term is beyond me. My late mother had wattles all over the place. We had woven wattle baskets, wattle furniture and fences. We knew people who built wattle and daub chicken coops. What ever happened to that perfectly good word? We often called it “twig work.” Our son Bruce worked constructing a fabulous home in Connecticut years ago. He is a twig work expert and built fabulous things at that location. One of the exterior stairways to the second floor was made cleverly inside a huge hollowed tree. I interviewed a business woman in the High Peaks and admired the twig work railings along the steps and deck to her home. She did all the work herself. I have likewise seen beautiful wattle artwork. Twig and branch weaving is a great craft. There are so many things that can be used for wattle. A good one is bamboo, especially for weaving a privacy fence. I think we had a wattle bird cage when we lived in Massena Center. Sadly, I awoke one morning to find a smiling cat and only feathers inside the wattle. Bye bye, birdie. Hundreds of years ago, willow was the most popular material for wattle fences. It often took root and sustained itself over time. My mother always had a supply of withies stacked at the back of the shed to make wattle fences for her garden. Oh, yeah, “withy,” is another word you might not recall. Withies are the flexible branches use for weaving wattles. By the way, the wattle under a turkey’s chin is completely different.

Visit historic White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths. White Pine Camp is an Adirondack Great Camp on Osgood Pond. It served as the Summer White House for US President Calvin Coolidge from July 7 through Sept. 18, 1926. Adirondack Great Camps like White Pine Camp are grand and fanciful log mansions, built in the latter half of the 19th century along the rugged lake shores or mountain sides of upstate New York. It was a time when cities were expanding and the natural world seemed too far away. The foremost families of the era — including the Coolidges — needed an escape, and suddenly found they had a yearning for wooded retreats of great but rustic comfort.
Wednesday tours are offered at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at White Pine Camp from June 17 to Sept. 30. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children. No reservations are required. Call 327-3030 for more information.

Ellen’s Rebellion to host Night to Remember By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — Night to Remember will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Green Room. The night will include a Chinese auction, 50/50 raffle, music, games, giveaways and light refreshments. The auction and raffle will feature gift baskets and cards donated by local businesses or made by community members. Ellen’s Rebellion — comprised of sisters Laura Cronk and Sarah Cronk-Duquette — hopes to raise $1,500 from the event to support the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center. “This is our third year doing it,” Cronk said. “We just wanted to figure out different ways of raising awareness and raising funds to be donated.” “Dementia is a disease not often talked about - at least not until someone you know and love
is diagnosed,” Cronk-Duquette added. “If and when the day comes, people will need a place like the ADAC to provide assistance and direction on how to handle the disease. “The Night to Remember is just one way in which people can give a donation that will go directly to the ADAC, which will help keep them as a community resource for those with dementia and their caregivers.”
ELLEN’S REBELLION Ellen’s Rebellion formed after Cronk and Cronk-Duquette’s mother was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia in May 2011. Since that time, the sister duo have been raising money for the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center located at SUNY Plattsburgh since their mother goes to the Third Age Adult Daycare Center. “We went to them when we noticed our mom having some cognitive issues and there she was
diagnosed with dementia,” Cronk-Duquette said. “Now, we use their services everyday for mom to go to the Third Age Adult Daycare Center Monday through Friday. “They not only give my mom a place to go during the week to get out of the house, but it also allows our father, her primary caregiver, some time on his own.” Their goal is to raise up to $10,000, compared to the $9,100 they made last year, by the end of September when the Alzheimer’s Walk takes place. So far, they’ve raised $7,200 and these funds raised will stay in the community to support programs and services the center offers. For more information, visit the Facebook page “Ellen’s Rebellion.” If anyone is unable to attend the event but still want to donate, visit firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ellensrebellion2014/2015. “Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease effects so many people and people just don’t talk about

Sam’s Club wants gas pumps in Consumer Square By Willie Santana
Each pump will have two nozzles. A canopy will cover the pumps. There will also be a kiosk for payment.Head of the Planning Department Philip Bargen said the project presents unique challenges and opportunities because of the popularity of the shopping center. “One thing that is certain of the Consumer Square shopping center is it’s akin to thinking of land development as a city block,” he said. “It’s our first real urban layout plan and it’s probably the busiest commercial site in the Town of Plattsburgh.” Bargen said the next step is a detailed planned review. He said there will be a public hearing that will be followed by the planning board making its final decision of approving, rejecting or modifying the claim.
news@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — Sam’s Club has gone through the early stages of getting six gas pumps approved by the Town of Plattsburgh‘s Planning Board. This proposal has been in the making for a couple of years as the applicant has been running a series of tests to judge on how adding six gas pumps to the Consumer Square shopping complex will affect parking and overall traffic. The pumps will be placed in the parking lot behind Buffalo Wild Wings, Chipotle, GNC and Sweet Frog.
As far as addressing some of the concerns that come with the project such as parking spaces and traffic, Bargen said the applicant estimated that 86 parking spaces will be eliminated and believes the increased traffic will only occur within the mall. “The belief is most of the traffic is internal,” he said. “Traffic will be already there with the people that are already shopping.” In addition to the parking spaces, Bargen said there have also been talks of extending the sidewalk at the end of the Sam’s Club building to add a connection to the apartments nearby. Walmart and Sam’s Club officials could not be contacted in time for publication. Discussions will continue at the next planning board meeting Oct. 20.

sign and business planning. The main reason for the competition is for communities to support a new generation of community-based power under Governor Andrew Cuomo plan “Reforming the Energy Vision.” “We’re assessing issues before they become issues,” said Dr. Lauren Eastwood, co-chair of the study and associate professor of sociology at SUNY Plattsburgh. A microgrid is an independent electricity grid that can be separated from the rest of the main grid. It can be connected to the macrogrid or shut off but still maintain power within the grid. Dr. Curt Gervich, co-chair of the study and associate professor of the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at SUNY Plattsburgh, said that with a changing climate comes a risk of more electricity outage in the future. Weather events like the ice storm of 1998 and Storm Irene of 2010, along with long durations of extremely cold winter
temperature in the past two winters, show a cause of concern for climate change and power outage. “Plattsburgh has the potential to be a leader in energy in New York,” Gervich said. “We’re not dealing with a private company if we were to build a mircogrid. It’s the city that owns our electric utility.” The microgrid would only power the essentials if an outage happened. But that has yet to be figured out. The study is determining how much power each facility uses and what functions would each of them need to maintain if a power outage happened. The difference between the two will tell how much power would be needed to generate the microgrid. The study is also trying to determine if each facility is working at maximum efficiency before installing a microgrid and what energy upgrades can they make in each facility. But some have express doubts to whether a microgrid can work or possibly help. The concept of a microgrid is relatively new. Plattsburgh Municipal Lighting Department Manager Bill
Tracy said no one really knows if it’s a good idea or not since microgrids have never been tested out before — thus not knowing the results of how effective it will be. “Other utilities and states are watching what New York does with this microgrid system to see if it’s worthwhile,” he said. “It may not be a good project or it may be a good project, but nobody knows until you actually do it.” Gervich said that if a microgrid turns out to a good idea, the partnerships should find other ways to fund it should Plattsburgh not make it to the final stages. “It’s not just the wave of the future. I think it’s also how things are going to go,” Eastwood said. “If we were to not take advantage of this sort of movement we would be putting ourselves in a position of deficit in a lot of ways.” Gervich added: “The exciting thing about the microgrid is that even if we decide that a microgrid is not to best approach to a resilient and reliable energy supply in a severe storm situation, the data that we’re gathering for the microgrid project and the conversation that we’re having about energy with the partners on the project are all laying out the ground work to be thinking about our energy future.”

BOP hosts Junior Encampment, hands-on learning PLATTSBURGH — Want to learn how to make musket cartridges, make butter, candles, cooking? These activities plus more are going to be part of the Junior Encampment scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12 at the KentDelord House Museum. Participants get the opportunity to ‘enlist’, dress in period clothes and then visit different stations that feature 19th Century crafts and trades. The special part of this activity is the hands-on nature of all the activities. One just doesn’t get to watch, but has the opportunity to jump right in and have some wonderful experience.
Based on the grounds of the Kent-Delord House, the Junior Encampment is right next to the re-enactors’ camps featuring many American and British soldiers plus sailors. The Junior Encampment runs from 9 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. The two-hour break is for the parade and encampment participants are eligible to join this parade, which is the largest in Plattsburgh. Admission is free and children of all ages can attend. No registration is necessary. For more information contact the KentDelord House at 561-1035.

extra money,” Eric said. “We didn’t envision make a living at it, but it evolved to that point.” It didn’t evolve to that point until they attended SUNY Plattsburgh. “The Gibson Brothers have a special relationship to SUNY Plattsburgh,” said Stephen Light, associate vice president for academic affairs at SUNY Plattsburgh, in a previous interview. “They’re kind of our favorite sons and they’re very successful alums of SUNY Plattsburgh.” Eventually, the brothers decided to form a band and that band recorded their first album “Underneath a Harvest Moon” in 1994 and signed a contract with Hay Holler Records a year later. For more information about The Gibson Brothers, visit gibsonbrothers.com and stay tuned for the hosts, who will also be performing, during the International Bluegrass Music Awards. “Our music is a mixture of head and heart and our goal is to make people think and feel,” Eric said. “We want people to forget their problems and have a good time in our few hours together.”

The bluegrass group also received Song of the Year for “Ring the Bell” in 2010 and “They Called It Music” in 2013, Vocal Group of the Year in 2011 and 2013, Album of the Year for “Help My Brother” in 2011, Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year for “Ring the Bell” in 2010, “Singing as we Rise” in 2010, Songwriter of the year for Eric in 2013 and Entertainer of the Year for 2012 and 2013. Besides awards from IBMA, The Gibson Brothers have been awarded by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America Awards, recognized by the Bluegrass Unlimited National Bluegrass Survey and received honorary degrees of doctors of fine arts at SUNY Plattsburgh - recognizing the hard work and dedication put into their 12 recordings and labels and music itself. Before the band formed, the brothers started playing together in the early 80’s — playing at fiddle contests, field day and a church in their hometown of Ellenburg Depot. “We wanted to have fun and make a little

Head coach: Corey Mousseau
Head coach: Patrick Shaughnessy
Head coach: Pat Keleher
2014 record: 11-9
Assistant coaches: Andrew Wylie & Todd Channell
2014 record: 0-8
A year removed from an 11-9 season, the Lady Hornets return five of their top seven runners and will have the defending Class C champion Chiefs in their sights. “We have a strong young team,” said head coach Corey Mousseau. “Our entire team has veteran experience. Not one athlete is brand new to running.” While Plattsburgh will need to replace Mirja Broichhagen and Chynna LaBarge, Mousseau described a roster that has both senior leadership and up-and-coming talent. Senior Clair Deshaies, will look to lead the squad along with freshman Kristen Karkoski. “(They) should make a strong challenge for any competitor this season,” Mousseau added. While the roster is small this season — nine total runners comprise the team — the coach hopes that past experience will balance out the lack of depth.
2014 record: 12-5
Despite a tough two-year stretch that saw a forfeited season due to numbers and another without a win, things are certainly looking up for a Plattsburgh Hornets team poised to put itself back into the Class B conversation in the coming years. Head coach Pat Keleher, now in his second year at the helm with the Hornets, has worked hard at a reversal of fortune in Plattsburgh, and even an 0-8 campaign a year ago showed promise. “The kids that played last year, they gave their all,” Keleher said. “Completely new staff, completely new system, it wasn’t easy. I’m proud of that group of kids for hanging in there.” With eight seniors on this year’s squad, the team may be younger, but Keleher added that the 2015 Hornets are well ahead of where they were a year ago after a year of offseason programming and hard summer work. “All the operations are much smoother,” Keleher said. “Even though we’re younger, I think we’re better than last year… I know we’re headed in the right direction. The dividends are coming.” Despite losses like Skyler Barriere, Logan Harvey and Henry Sanchez, Plattsburgh is readying itself for a leap. Riley Monahan, a senior running back this season, also led the team in tackles as a linebacker a year ago. Dalton Harney, a starting sophomore a year ago, is back in the mix, as well as Tristin Turner, a guard moving to tight end who may be one of the more athletic players on the team. The list doesn’t stop there, as Keleher described a handful of athletes who helped lead a 4-4 JV team a year ago and are now making the move up to varsity. Brady Pennington, a running back and linebacker, has looked strong in camp, while Tim O’Meara helps anchor an offensive line with three players over 250 pounds — three more than the team had a year ago. Then there’s Mitch Senecal, a sophomore quarterback with energy and leadership beyond his years. Keleher is excited for the gunner, who he called a “very poised and determined young man.” “Even though they’re young, they’re athletes and they’re football players,” Keleher said. “We haven’t been saying those words together in a while.” With Moriah first up on the slate, Keleher knows the season will bring with it challenges, but the coach spoke often of the dividends that will come from a youthful but strengthening Hornets squad. “We’re young, we’re going to have to live through the growing pains of being a young football team,” Keleher said. “But we’re a year older in the program and heading in the right direction.” See the complete roster, schedule and more in our Section VII Football 2015 Program Booklet.

“I believe that our goal is nothing less than a sectional championship,” said first-year varsity head coach Patrick Shaughnessy. “I believe that this team is talented and has a lot of potential.” And he has good reason to believe so. Beekmantown only lost three games all of last season. One of those defeats came to Mattituck in the state championship. The other two? To the Hornets. Only a sectional semifinal loss kept Plattsburgh away from another chance at taking down the eventual N.Y. runner-up, and this year the team will look to complete the next step. Shaughnessy said that although the team lost five strong players in Ryan Whalen, Jacob Bushey, Yanis Yahiaoui, Gerrit Rietsema and Brady Channell, a strong core of returning seniors should anchor this year’s squad. A number of starters, continued the coach, enter 2015 with multiple years of varsity experience and give the Hornets a strong backbone in their ability to play together. Early practices have focused on possession and working with a purpose, while the players’ preseason work has been strong. Goalie J.D. Side will look to bring leadership to the field while Alex Follmer, Trevor Wills and Liam Chaskey are potential starters bringing skill and effort. “We have a very deep and talented team,” Shaughnessy said, “which is made up of a number of good players that benefit with playing with each other.” Andrew Bechard

PeruÊ Indians
Head coach: Ryon O’Connell 2014 record: 10-1
The Peru Indians will look to defend their Section VII Class B crown this coming year, though with several skill positions to refill, it will be no small task. Two key seniors on the 2014 squad, one that went 10-1 overall on its way to a state quarterfinal appearance, were quarterback Blake Altizer and wideout Anthony Gallo. The two were dynamic season-long, especially in the state playoff opener, a 59-6 win over Malone, in which Altzier threw for 199 yards and four touchdowns, one of which Gallo hauled in to two along with this two special teams scores of 75 yards each. Peru finished the 2014 season ranked 12th in the state while leading the league in points scored. If that’s going to happen again, it’ll likely involve a heavy dose of Brandon Sawyer. The running back was one of the best in the section a season ago, and first-year head coach Ryon O’Connell plans to take advantage this year. “We’ll lean on Brandon a lot,” said the coach, who spent the preview four seasons as offensive coordinator for the Indians. “Both at running back and middle linebacker. He’ll be looked to on defense to lead, as well as offense.” Replacing Altizer under center will be Jordan Guay, while O’Connell expects any of four receivers — Troy Lawyer, Luke Carpenter, John Gallo and Evan Palmer — to fill in to the top receiver spot. While Peru may have been known for its flashy offense a year ago, the team was just as efficient on the other side of the ball, holding regular season opponents to an average of 8 points per game. O’Connell said during preseason practice that the defense, which returns lots of athletes from the previous year, “looks excellent.” The team will certainly get tested early, as Peru will host the Beekmantown Eagles to start the season. The last time the two met, the Indians rallied from 14 down in the third quarter to win the Class B title, scoring the go-ahead with 13.2 seconds left. “It’s a little stressful, first two weeks of the season,” O’Connell said (they’ll travel to Ticonderoga in week two. “We both know each other pretty well... it’s always a great football game. It’s always fun.” The coach said the goal is getting the Indians back into the title game and play well then and hopes good senior leadership will take them there. But they’ll certainly have to work for it. “The league is going to be a great league,” O’Connell said. See the complete roster and more in the Section VII Football 2015 Program Booklet.

Assistant coach: Keith Armstrong
2014 record: 11-6
2014 record: 12-5-1
A year removed from an 11-6, third place season, a Lady Indians team featuring five seniors will again eye the top spot. With only three seniors lost from last year’s squad, head coach Mary Anne Lake expects Peru to make a strong showing this coming fall. “We have depth on our bench this year with some very talented new players joining the team,” Lake said. “This will allow us to be more flexible on the court.” The coach expects returning starters Megan Kelso, Louie Dayton, Taylor Higgins and Alyson Rascoe to all be impactplayers in 2015, adding that if the team members dedicate themselves and work hard, the ceiling is high. “I believe that this team can achieve the goals they have set for themselves,” Lake said. “I’m very excited about this team and their potential.”
The Peru Indians — Section VII’s lone Class A soccer team — may be the default champ each year, but last season’s group earned it regardless. Posting a 7-4-1 league record and 5-1-0 outside, the Indians used a 2-0 win against Massena to make it to the round of eight in states, eventually falling one game shy of Middletown. To do that again, they’ll have to replace the 2014 league MVP in Jonathan Plessis-Belair, as well as Peter Daly, Austin Brault, Andrew Kneussle and Isaac Nixon. Head coach Matt Armstrong said it’ll be important to get a large group of first-year players acquainted with the varsity game, but they’re still aiming for the top of the division. A strength this year, he added, is “a strong group of returning players and strong group of new players looking to contribute to the team’s success.” Athletes to watch this fall include Dylan Baker, Jessy Dick, Justin LaPorte, Tom Matthews and Matthew Polhemus — none of whom are seniors, giving Peru firepower this year and for more to come.

2014 record: 8-7-1
The Seton Catholic Knights will again look to the front of the pack as the 2015 cross country season gets underway. The girls team, coming off an 18-0 season and second place in the Class D state championship, returns a premier Section VII harrier in Margaret Champagne this season. Though it’s unlikely she’ll be the only Lady Knight ahead of the pack. Sofia Dejordy, a freshman entering her third season, is another turning standout in 2015. Girls head coach Cathy Champagne said that although the team is young, and without Pascale Allen this season, the goal is to improve throughout. Despite half the team being freshmen or younger, the Knights do bring into 2015 experience, and if they stay injury free, should be among the Class D favorites this fall. On the boys side, five runners will look to improve seasonlong. Like the girls, the story is also about youth, with two eighth graders, a sophomore and two juniors on the team. The Knights lost Matthew Cole to the National Sports Academy and will lean on team captain and four-year veteran Caleb Moore to lead the way. Matt Snell, a junior, brings five years of experience to the team while Luke Moore, Jake Glicksman and Henry Derrick round out the roster.
A year removed from a razor thin, overtime playoff loss in to Ticonderoga, the Lady Knights will look to build on their cohesiveness and what appears to be a strong defense this coming fall. “This is a very tight-knit group,” said first-year head coach Melanie Defayette. “They feed off each other’s competitiveness.” While Seton Catholic will need to replace four talented players in Kelli Ryan, Shannon Egan, Alyse Clark and Clara Giroux, its five seniors “are looking to make some noise this year,” Defayette continued. Samantha Bashaw, Phoebe Christopher, Hailey Moore, Olivia Nachbauer and Emily Nachbauer comprise the class of senior leaders. The coach expects the Knights to be strong defensively, an important characteristic as the offense continues to gel in September. “We have many skilled players and their ability to learn how to play as one will be important,” Defayette said, adding that the seniors “are going to lead this group of fun young women and have a great year.”

Football Head coach: Jason Daniels 2014 record: 2-6
There’s a lot of unknown for the Chiefs entering 2015, but with that a hope for a few surprises as well. With 17 players on the varsity roster, Saranac is just toeing the 16-player minimum to field a football team. It’s a storyline not unfamiliar to Section VII coaches and players. Just two years ago, Plattsburgh was forced to forfeit its season after dropping below the threshold. But if anyone is up to the task to lead the Chiefs, it’s head coach Jason Daniels. With 18 years of coaching experience under his belt, he knows his way about getting the most out of his teams, even if they are depleted. Last season, Saranac’s roster wasn’t much bigger, with 19 players on the varsity team. That team went 2-5 in the regular season and 2-6 overall after registering regular season wins over Plattsburgh and AuSable Valley before falling narrowly in the Section VII Class C semifinals against to the Patriots 14-8. “Their heart was there,” Daniels said of the 2014 group.

SaranacÊ Chiefs Now, however, it’ll be up to a largely new team to put some marks in the win column. Gradation slammed Saranac, leaving just three returners from the team a year ago, Daniels said. “Basically a full junior team this year,” explained the coach. For the second straight season, Daniels will be working with a first-year quarterback. Last year it was Mason Utzler, and now, a former wide receiver on the JV team in Logan Matthews will be taking the helm under center. The coach went on to say that he has high hopes for Matthews’ transition to the position and varsity level. Despite the unknowns, Daniels believes the Chiefs have strong talent at the skill positions, some of whom were pulled up from JV a year ago and have some varsity experience to carry into 2015. One of them is Sean Ahern, a tailback who made the jump last season who could put up some numbers. On top of that, he added, defense has looked strong in practices, Daniels added, and will look to keep Saranac in games this season. The coach said that while there’s excitement in the future for a team that largely has two more years of football ahead of it, the focus is squarely on 2015. “I’m not throwing in the tower this year,” Daniels said. “I expect to win games.” See the complete roster and more in our Section VII Football 2015 Program Booklet.

tention for league MVP — Saranac will look to make a push toward the top of the league. “We’ve got a lot of experience from last year,” Harrigan explained. “Lost about four people, one good one.” Though Harrigan added that depth may be a weakness this season, he explained that a couple of players brought up from JV are “hungry” and good players he anticipates will help the team. Sweeper Alex Zurlo will look to anchor Saranac defensively while Shayne O’Neill and Cameron Duffield are expected to be solid contributors. “These kids are working hard,” said Harrigan during the preseason. “I think we’re going to be a heck of a lot better.”

BeekmantownÊ Eagles
The ‘Burgh Sun • September 12, 2015 | 19
Football Head coach: Jamie Lozier 2014 record: 6-3
There’s one looming question for the Eagles as they enter 2015: How do you replace Justin Stevens? The then-senior was a wrecking ball last season, capable of both high-volume carry games and ripping off 50-plus yard runs à la NFL’s Adrian Peterson on his way to an all-time Section VII record 1,965 rushing yards. Stevens, along with outside linebacker Chris Rowell, earned Class B second team All-State honors on a team that finished an honorable mention in the year-end New York Sportswriters Association state rankings. As hard as those cleats may be to fill, head coach Jamie Lozier is excited for the coming season. “Having somebody like (Stevens) leave, he’s definitely going to be missed,” Lozier said. He added, however, that last season defenses would hone in on the back. Now, depth at a variety of skill positions figures to give the Eagles well more than one dimension offensively. Alex Archer is back at quarterback with Nate Handy, Tyler Myers and Aaron Moura all expected to figure into the running mix at running back, tailback and fullback, respectively. Lozier said that he’s seen strong speed at the wideout position while Matt Villa figures to be a good target at tight end. “We have a lot of really good athletes this year,” Lozier explained of his team that only sees two athletes playing both two ways. “I feel we’re going to be a little bit better team, harder to prepare against.” Last year, the Beekmantown dropped its season opener to Peru before winning five straight. After a sectional semifinal win over Plattsburgh, the Eagles’ season ended the same way it began: a tight loss to the rival Indians. Of the team’s three setbacks, none was by more than a single score, and even with three losses and no state playoff birth, the team was a Class B honorable mention in statewide rankings at the end of the fall. Once again this year, Beekmantown opens its season against Peru, a possible preview of the Class B championship later in the season. Lozer explained that with two rivals so familiar with each other, turnovers and penalties will be key factors in the opening matchup, and that has meant strong focus in the weeks leading up to the opener. Lozier said his team has worked hard and come together well this summer, a process that dates back to an “extremely busy” weightroom since December. “Definitely this year we’re proud of the boys,” the coach said. “They’re motivated and we’re in good shape, for sure. We’re hoping for a good season.” See the complete roster, schedule and more in our Section VII Football 2015 Program Booklet.

Volleyball Head coach: Shana Hileman Assistant coaches: Ashley Myers, Jenna Brault 2014 record: 15-1
Gymnastics Head coach: Jennifer Duffy Assistant coach: Sheree Trudeau 2014 record: 0-6
Nine Lady Eagle gymnasts, including several strong seventh graders, are preparing themselves for the coming fall. While Beekmantown will be without Lydia Gricoski — a state qualifier and starter on bars and beam — this fall, the team hopes to carry momentum from the previous year into 2015. “We finished the season with our highest score during the sectional meet,” explained head coach Jennifer Duffy. “I believe we will begin our season as strong.” The Eagles return two state qualifiers from a year ago in Desiree Dashnaw and Kailey Quackenbush, while Alison Trudo is expected to add “grace, leadership and strength to the team,” Duffy explained. The coach went on to say that youth can be both a strength and weakness in gymnastics. More experienced athletes will provide dynamics and power, while helping enhance and fine turn skills that are already strong amongst the newcomers.
Roster
The Lady Eagles may have lost a trio of strong contributors from last season’s Section VII Class B champs, though they look to be in the mix for the top spot again entering this coming fall. Grace Kelly, Lydia Bailey and Arianna Hicks helped lead last year’s team to a virtually perfect season, tearing through the section without a loss. Though those three are gone, veteran setter Michaela Lafountain will look to “quarterback” the team through the upcoming season, said head coach Shana Hileman. The offseason has been a strong one for Beekmantown. Hileman said that many of the returners to the team this year played club volleyball and attended summer camps, something important should the team win sectionals and face a team comprised of many who play the game year-round. Hileman added that the rotation could be in flux in the coming months, featuring athletes playing various positions they’re capable of handling. “In our minds we do not focus on who is ‘known’ as the powerhouse of the weaker team,” Hileman said of the approach this year. “Every game in our schedule is important...when that game is finished we will learn from what went right and wrong, make corrections and focus on the next.”

PlattsburghÊ Hornets Boys Cross Country
Girls Swimming Head coach: Jay Ruff
Head coach: Tim Mulligan
Head coach: Adam Mehan
Assistant coach: Kate Flynn
2014 record: 17-3
2014 record: 6-0
2014 record: 4-12-1
Last season’s Hornets cross country team was a dominant one. Led by Section VII star Jeriqho Gadway — whose speed and endurance took him all the way to the Footlocker Cross Country nationals in San Diego — the team posted a nearly perfect record on its way to a CVAC championship. Now, first-year head coach Adam Mehan will look to lead Plattsburgh into a new era, one without Gadway and several others: Joshua Ferris, Kenneth Hausrath, Aiden Vogl, Liam Vogl and Haani Qudsi. “Through hard work and a team mentality, we hope to have a successful season,” Mehan explained. The coach added that some key runners from last season, like Jacob Jabaut and Connor Cota, should make an impact in 2015. Meanwhile, he continued, some of the newer athletes are promising as well. While the veterans will look to build on last season’s successes, the young runners should expect to develop their running through the fall. “We have a small but hard working group of athletes,” Mehan added.
The Plattsburgh Lady Hornets swim team saw no shortage of talent a year ago, amassing a perfect 6-0 record and breaking multiple records along the way. Despite losing 2014 standouts Alexis Kelley and Toni LaValley, Plattsburgh returns a team rich in depth that will surely eye the top spot again this fall. Three sectional champions from a year ago — Brooke Kelley, Kelly Davey and Meghan Davey — are back for 2015 to lead a roster that goes 19 deep. Head coach Jay Ruff expects team size and depth to serve the Hornets well as they strive to improve times through the entirety of the season. By the end, he hopes, some Lady Hornets will be on their way to the state championship.
A year removed from a Section VII Class B semifinal appearance, the Lady Hornets will look to take advantage of returning talent in putting together a competitive season. Plattsburgh did have some losses since last season, including All-Star Kelsey Senecal, as well as Hannah LeClair, Jenna Worley and Quinn Stebbins. However, returning experience is also strong, noted head coach Tim Mulligan. Alyssa Salls brings talent and familiarity to the goalkeeper position, while the coach added the defensive end will see more of the same. Goal scoring, explained Mulligan, will be key this fall after a 2014 season that saw just eight scores. Preseason play has shown promise for reversing the trend — in a late August tournament in Chazy, the team had four goals as it went 1-1. “We are looking to improve to the point of being competitive with every team in Division I and view for a section title,” Mulligan added.

Sandwiched between Peru and Beekmantown in CVAC gymnastics a year ago, Hornets head coach Janice Trudeau said last year’s effort to get off the bottom was a big accomplishment for the team. Now, the team will look to keep the trend alive. Plattsburgh will be without Hannah Kaltenbach this season, a state qualifier the past few seasons, but Trudeau said there’s a hope that depth will keep the Hornets competitive this year. Although Peru figures to be the team to beat again in 2015, Plattsburgh and Beekmantown may look to be in a battle for the No. 2 spot. “Our focus is to produce clean routines that show quality skills with good form,” said Trudeau of the team’s focus this season. The coach went on to add that Madison Baker figures to be a top athlete once again, while Julia Karkoski, Juliana Baker, Josh Boise, Gavin Fritz and newcomer Morgan Hughes all figure to be in the mix among strong performances entering the fall season.

A deep and talented Indians gymnastic team will look again to defend its title in 2015. A year ago, the Peru capped off what head coach Krista Brown called ‘an amazing season,” putting together a perfect regular season and outright sectional crown. “Our team worked hard to increase the difficulty level of skills and improve our form and presentation,” added the coach, who noted that the Indians will miss out on strong vaulting performance by Justin Dick this season, who switched over to soccer for 2015. Brown said the Indians look to defend their crown in the coming season, and based on the roster, they very much appear the squad to beat. While senior captains Meredith Barnaby, Alexandra Brown and Victoria Mitchell figure to lead the team, Peru also returns now eighth grader phenom Delaney Brown, a virtual lock last season for all-around honors. Allie Timmons, Rylee Desso, Kira Fisher, Alandra Bego and Alaina Bazzano also look to be in the hunt for top scores this fall. “We have incredible depth on our team again this year,” Brown said. “I can only compete six gymnasts on each event in a competition, but I have a lineup of nine or 10 solid gymnasts on every event.” It’s an enviable dilemma. “We need to stay strong and healthy,” the coach added. “We also need to pace ourselves so that we peak at sectionals.”

Head coach: Mary LaDuke Assistant coach: Kayla Nelson 2014 record: 10-6
A year ago the Lady Chiefs put together a strong regular season, going 10-6 before ultimately falling in the Class C semifinal to another 10-win team in Plattsburgh. With the losses of Kayla Byerley, Anna Dorrance and Charlotte Stevens, the team is making adjustments as they eye another playoff push this fall. Head coach Mary LaDuke explained that while defense has been a focus this preseason, the team has shown plenty of strength at being able to work togther. Learning a new offense and defense are among season goals, added the coach. Haley Stone and Adianne Carter are the two lone seniors on the squad, followed by six juniors four more sophomores, including up-and-comers to watch Elizabeth Trudeau and Kylee Wiedeman.

The Beekmantown Eagles cross country teams bring back strong talent from teams that danced around the .500 mark a year ago. Senior captain Cory Couture, as well as junior Everett Sapp, put together All-Star seasons in 2014 and will look to improve this fall. Head coach Andy Hastings said that with five freshman runners on the boys team, it will be key for them to step up right away if the team is to be successful. On the girls side, up-and-coming ninth grader Enya Sullivan returns from a state championship qualification a year ago, while senior Sierra Barrett will captain the team. A consistent top five will be essential for the girls team, added Hastings. One of them figures to be Rebekah Kashorek, a runner the coach expects to be among the top this season. Sierra Barrett

Last season, the Beekmantown Eagles established themselves as one of the best Class B teams in the state, claiming a 5-2 sectional title over Northeastern Clinton before rattling off three straight wins and securing an appearance in the state championship, a game they lost to top-ranked Mattituck. Lots of that run, however, was led by a senior class that went 15-deep, giving the 2015 Beekmantown squad a drastically new look. “(We’ll) look to improve each and every day we step on a field,” explained head coach Ryan Loucy of this season’s approach. The coach noted that it’s still too early to tell in what aspects the Eagles may excel this season. Defense and team ball control have been key areas of focus moving into regular season play.

Plattsburgh High, Saranac struggle on gridiron By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
MoriahÊ 37,Ê PlattsburghÊ 6 PLATTSBURGH — A slow start by the Plattsburgh High football team on the opening weekend of Champlain Valley Athletic Conference play gave the Moriah Vikings the space they would need for a 37-6 victory Sept. 4. “I thought we would play better,” head coach Pat Keleher said. “I was disappointed because we looked intimidated. There was a lack of effort early. We did expect youthful mistakes but we made a lot of mistakes we did not make in our scrimmage.” Early on, the Hornets could not find an answer to Moriah’s Adam Jaquish, who scored the first two touchdowns of the game, the first coming on a two-yard quarterback sneak and the second coming on a tipped pass by Jaquish, which he pulled in for an interception before rumbling 45 yards for the score. “We prepared and wanted to attack Jaquish, but we would retreat on the line and he would hang back and at 6’7”, he has the height and jumping ability to make those plays.” For the Hornets, sophomore quarterback Mitchell Senecal was 6-of-22 passing for 146 yards, while running the ball 10 times for nine yards and the lone score of the game. Jason Moore was Senecal’s top target with 65 receiving yards, while Quaran Carroll had nine rushes for 41 yards. Dalton Harney added two tackles-for-loss.
Next up: For the Hornets (0-1), a trip to Saranac Lake, a 16-12 winner over AuSable Valley, is ahead Saturday, as the team will look to live up to the expectations of its coach. “We are better than this,” Keleher said. “We have some good, talented young men here. We will get back to the drawing board and keep working to change the culture and get the old ghosts of the past out.”

SARANAC — The defending Class D champion Ticonderoga Sentinels opened the 2015 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference season with a 61-6 trouncing of the Saranac Chiefs Sept. 5. In 15 fewer plays on offense, the Sentinels outgained the Chiefs 371-75, while forcing eight turnovers, seven via interceptions. Starting the game with 17 players, one above the state-mandated 16-player minimum roster, the Chiefs lost three members of the team in the first half of a game — which was 47-0 at halftime — with some asking if it should continue into the final 24 minutes. Eventually, officials decided on a straight run of the clock for the second half, without stoppages for any whistle. On defense, Brett Mosier had a pair of interceptions, returning one 40 yards for a score. Bennett, Seth Hamel, Collin Bresett and Alex Sharrow also recorded interceptions, while Joe Wells had a fumble recovery. For the Chiefs, Logan Matthews went 9-of-21 passing for 84 yards while being picked off five times. Sean Ahern was 2-of-7 passing for 17 yards and two interceptions. Dylan Clay was the top receiver, with 59 yards on five receptions. Clay also had the lone sack in the game. Ahern scored the lone touchdown of the game for Saranac, but was held to negative run yardage.
Next up: If the Chiefs (0-1) are able to assemble a 16-player roster in time for Friday, they will travel to Moriah to face a Vikings team who scored a 37-6 win over Plattsburgh High.
