MOOERS — No one was hurt as a fi re tore through one of the anchors of downtown Mooers Monday, Nov. 10, leaving it a pile of smoldering rubble. Shortly before 7 a.m. Chazy Trooper Chris Gonyo was driving by the three story brick apartment building at the corner of Route 11 and 22 when smoke could be seen coming out of the chimney. Local resident Mike Deneault, who was at the scene shortly after, says that Gonyo ran into the building to help get residents out. “Trooper Gonyo ran in there and let people know about the fi re,” said Deneault. “It wasn’t too full of smoke yet, but it was coming out the chimney, and it just didn’t look right.” State Police in Plattsburgh confi rmed that Gonyo had made the initial call to 911 about the blaze, but couldn’t confi rm that he had gone into the burning building. Troopers did say that the initial assessment was that a malfunctioning furnace was the cause of the fi re. The front façade and the western wall of the building, owned

LaValley concert to benefit Hospice of the North Country By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — On Dec. 7, local artists lead by singersongwriter Taylor-Renae LaValley will be holding a benefit concert for Hospice of the North Country, at Olive Ridley’s in Plattsburgh. For LaValley, helping out Hospice is very personal. When she was only four, her father succumbed to prostate cancer shortly before Christmas. Hospice was on hand, and even at that young age, she could appreciate all that they did to help out her family. The help, she said, went well above just keeping her father comfortable. “It was Christmas time, and they went out and got us Christmas presents, out of their own pocket,” she remembers.
LaValley said that the Hospice workers who helped her family bought those presents out of their own pockets. “Hospice is just one of those groups who is willing to do anything to make things better for you.” Now LaValley is giving back. Together with local musicians Jay Lasage and Giovanina Bucci, LaValley will be performing her own songs as well as Christmas favorites and carols at Olive Ridley’s, with all money raised going to Hospice. There will also be a bake sale with items donated by local stores and bakeries. I’ve just had a lot of great things happen to me, and it’s nice to give back, and give Hospice the recognition they need,” she said. The concert will run from 4 – 9 p.m. Anyone interested in learning more about the benefit, or making a donation can visit Hospice Of The North Country Concert Benefit on Facebook. For her part, LaValley’s music career is picking up steam by the day. She will be traveling to Nashville soon to meet with a record company and discuss recording her music. She continues to perform locally.

Kyle’s Variety Store expanding business to include auctions Auctions will include dealer goods as well as consignments By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com MOOERS — Kyle’s Variety Store in Mooers is bursting at the seams, and they are taking on a new venture; auctions, to help move their merchandise. Co-owners Kyle and Mike Deneault, along with Mike’s wife Lynn, have been running the store, located behind the Mountain Mart Sunoco in the hamlet of Mooers for about three years, and they decided recently that it was time to expand. With a mix of dealer merchandise and consignments, the auction business will add to their already varied repertoire of goods. “I’d always liked to do this. I’d go to auctions and come back with stuff, that’s how the business got started,” said Mike Deneault.
Auctions will be held bi-weekly, at 6:30 p.m., at the auction space adjoining their retail setting. Rows of theater seats that Deneault bought at an auction fill the space, looking out to where the auctioneer will be doing his work. Deneault hopes that once word spreads, people will bring them estate items, or even single pieces, to auction off. Their first auction was held this past Thursday, with over 100 people were in attendance. Household items, toys, nick-knacks, tools and antiques make up most of the auction fare. “You never know what they’re going to bring in. Some things are really good, sometimes people are just trying to get rid of their trash,” said Kyle Deneault. “We don’t take the junk, just the good stuff.” They are also planning on branching into package mailing services, hoping especially to attract Canadian customers. The next auction in planned for November 20. Kyle’s can be reached for inquiries at 2365040.

Vote third party
D
emocrats received a shellacking last week in a wave election that saw Republicans rack up their highest numbers in the House of Representatives since the 1920s. They took over the Senate, a fi rst since 2006, and seized a record number of state legislatures and governor’s mansions. It’s morning again in America and the sun is blood-red. We’ll spare you the tripe about healing and working together for a better tomorrow. But we will pose a thought experiment. After you fi nish reading this column, tear it out and fi le it away. Pull it out 16 months from now when the political machine is back in full swing. We’re guessing you won’t be any better off than you are today. Voters reduced Democrats to smoldering rubble last week not because of an ideological kinship with Republicans, who presented no uniform economic plan of their own, but rather out of disgust with government dysfunction and executive incompetence. Thirty-four percent of voters, to cite an ABC News exit poll, said they were voting in opposition of President Obama, while 61 percent expressed dissatisfaction with Republican congressional leaders. With the GOP set to control both legislative chambers, and with a president who has agreed to work with them to fi nd common ground, Republicans have now been handed the keys to the economy. They say they will use this political capital to pass the legislation stalled by partisan gridlock. This includes resurrecting the Keystone pipeline, dusting off a series of moribund jobs bills and repealing some of the most unsavory elements of the Affordable Care Act, like the tax on medical device manufacturers. Republicans have also said they will work to reform the corporate tax code to make the country more competitive for business; they say they will kill tax inversions (the relocation of businesses to different countries) and roll back energy regulations, namely when it comes to regulating carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fi red power plants. All of this, they claim, will push the econo-
my in the right direction. But none of the above will be enough to stimulate wage growth and tackle the top issue hindering economic recovery for the people reading this newspaper: Stagfl ation. Infl ation-adjusted incomes for the middle class have not gone up since 1999, while infl ation has increased 25 percent during the same period. Income gains have overwhelmingly gone to the richest Americans, not regular folks. What’s the antidote? While the formula is tricky, recovery will only come, in part, once more cash is injected into working class wallets through measures like raising the minimum wage and signifi cantly increasing federal spending on infrastructure projects. In his victory speech, presumptive Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised things will be different. “Just because we have a two-party system doesn’t mean we have to be in perpetual confl ict,” he said. We disagree. This system is the root of all confl ict. Democrats will likely try to block most GOP economic initiatives to deny them victories ahead of 2016, just like what the Republicans, fueled by obstructionist Tea Party rhetoric, have been doing for the past six years. The American political system is rigged; this election was a farce and middle class voters are the pawns. America’s two-party system has mutated to a perverted game of political hardball. Both count on voters growing frustrated every election cycle and switching back and forth out of a sense of helpless frustration — or, better yet, not voting at all, the fi rst step in a lifetime of political apathy that benefi ts both parties. Last week saw the lowest turnout in any election since 1940. Only 36.6 percent of eligible voters turned out. In New York, that number dropped to 29.5 percent (but rose to 46 percent in NY21). It seems like the $4 billion spent in this election cycle had its intended result, like those high-frequency blasts used to clear protesters at riots.

Always Do Your Best
Michele Armani and Sally Meisenheimer “Always Do Your Best” was the focus of conversation in the last of The Four Agreements Series held at the Champlain Wine Company. Most people learn easily from a relatable story, where things have gone either terribly wrong, tremendously right, or a simple truth was revealed. We shared some classic parables of The Cracked Pot and The Sword Master to demonstrate the beauty of fl aws and the passion of being single minded. Telling or passing on a story evokes emotion and discussion, which ultimately satisfi es what we are all seeking; deeper meaning in life. When we realize that real heroes and heroines have experienced more defeat than success and have fl aws and weaknesses, doing our personal best doesn’t seem as daunting. In sharing this discussion with you, our ‘Burgh Readers, we pose the question: Does it need to be someone else’s story that we learn from or can we be introspective enough to learn from our own “story”? We believe we can learn from our own story when we approach experiences with honesty, clarity of purpose, and forgiveness, when necessary. Our “story” can become the foundation for living our best when we celebrate our successes
www.the-burgh.com
and move forward with positive intention. So what does it take to be our best, do our best? Different approaches direct us at different junctures in our lives. Doing our best takes a lifetime of persistent seeking, evaluation, and action. Consider some different approaches and make a simple starting plan to Always Do YOUR Best: •To do your best, you must accept yourself as you presently are and as a positive work in progress. •Doing your best should be an exhilarating action, not the seeking of a verbal or fi nancial reward. •Through gentle exploration, understand that your physical and emotional energy waxes and wanes, ebbs and fl ows. Knowing and/or accepting our natural energy cycles helps in examining when we should strive to do our best and when we might want to be more forgiving of ourselves. Your best is always changing; sometimes it is high quality and sometimes low.

Vulnerabilities are what make you compassionate, “real”, approachable, and supported by others in your development. •Focus on what you ARE rather that what you AREN’T. Be aware, but don’t dwell in a place of impossibility. Your best is much different from someone else’s best. It refl ects your capabilities, time, and strengths. •Accomplishment, ultimately, is what defi nes our legacy. Accomplishment can be a very personal endeavor without competition. Defi ne your own success and feel good about it. •Listening, discerning, and relating, either contemplatively or aloud, are easy actions that aid in fi nding our best path. This is the more active version of spending time and attention in order to thrive. •Be appreciative and complimentary of others BEST accomplishments. •Let go of past disappointments, failures, and regrets.

Letters to the Editor
Common sense party To the Editor: Jeff MacMakin from Putnam was stating fl at fact about our “Democracy was taken over unlawfully on a Christmas Eve” but not in 1923 — it was in 1913. [Readers] should join me in creating a Common Sense Party … nationwide. In 1913, Congress, without a proper quorum, passed the illegal, unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act. Congressmen were bribed, blackmailed and coerced to vote for this unconstitutional, blatantly-illegal perversion on Christmas Eve without even a required quorum. This means that the Federal Reserve Act was never legitimately passed in 1913. There already is one Common Sense Party in Clinton County where if anyone ran on the party, it would be listed on the ballot, provide candidates the required number of signatures from votes they have been to see and help his cause to change, fi nally and forever, plutocracy-run government and economy. I also invite Dan Alexander, the Denton staff, and its readers to help shape the party’s principles.
Mooers fire From page 1
by Priscilla Menard, were all that were left standing later in the day Monday as the entire inside of the building had collapsed onto itself. Firefi ghters kept Route 22 closed for much of the day while waiting to have the rest of the building demolished. Firefi ghters on a Rouses Point Fire Department ladder truck were seen carefully checking through the debris for possible hot-spots. Mooers fi refi ghters stood by across the road with a pumper truck in case they were needed. Numerous bystanders could be seen gazing at the remains of the building as they walked by, some taking pictures with cell phones. Investigation into the cause of the blaze will likely take several days.
Editorial
From page 4 But it doesn’t have to be this way. Your vote should be constructive rather than punitive. Considering the fi rst half of this decade has seen activists fi ghting for democracy across the world — in Hong Kong, student protesters have been grinding it out for the past seven weeks, while people in Ukraine in the Middle East have been subjected to unspeakable atrocities — America, quite frankly, should be ashamed of herself.
My fi rst one is no document, image, record or other form of information about what the government acquires should be “classifi ed” in any manner that remains hidden from public view more than 10 years for National Security. Embarrassment about an “op” is not cause for classifying something per “National Security” it is because of the so many secrets that we are in the mess we are in nationally and worldwide. I know web links are diffi cult in letters, but this link is worth following and it is short... but exact letters in caps or small or important: ow.ly/DuXOz. Robert H. Williams, Mooers
Be a leader in your community To the Editor: One of the qualities of leadership is having a sense of purpose that directs a person to use his or her strengths to help others. If you are interested in becoming a leader in your community, consider supporting the United Way at the Leadership level. Leadership Giving affords you the opportunity to be part of something
much greater than any of us can achieve alone. Last year, leadership giving amounted to almost 23 percent of the funds raised. Leadership giving brings with it the great satisfaction of helping those who are struggling in our community. It is also your chance to be part of the solution, to connect and be recognized with others who share your commitment to doing more. Leadership can be done through a one-time donation or payroll deduction. Your gift of $500 or more, given directly to United Way of the Adirondack Region, will make a signifi cant impact in your community. Leadership giving is possible for as little as $10 per week. You can also reach a leadership level by combining gifts with a partner or spouse at another workplace. Donations can also be made anonymously. Your donation supports 41 essential programs in your community, such as Hospice of the North Country and Life Flight. Last year, over 80,000 lives were touched by programs supported by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. The money raised here, stays here. To support programs and services in your area, call the United Way today at 563-0028 and ask how you can become a Leadership Giver. Bruce and Marge Garcia 2015 United Way Co-Chairs

WILLSBORO — There will be a Honor Flight Assembly Thursday, Nov. 20, for grades 7 to 12 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Willsboro Central School. The Honor Flight will bring 10 to 12 World War II veterans to the school. The assembly consists of showing a movie and talking about their service experiences during this time. The Honor Flight has presented at other schools and the response has been outstanding. The Veterans will arrive around 8:30 a.m. for coffee and donuts prior to the assembly. After the movie, students will probably have an opportunity to ask questions.
We all bear responsibility. After all, most of us aren’t activists and have to work for a living, leaving little time for political analysis. But when this circus roars back to life in the next year-or-so — or earlier, considering how America is now engaged in a permanent campaign — ask yourself a simple question: “Am I better off?” If not, then the choice is simple: Vote for a third party candidate. You’ve got nothing to lose — or at very least, nothing to gain from the continuation of the status quo. According to Gallup, 58 percent of Americans say a third po-
litical party is needed because Republicans and Democrats “do such a poor job” of representing the American people. None of this is to say that Democrat and Republican policies are uniformly harmful — both have some bright spots — but rather they’re just caught in a poisonous quicksand in a duopoly that can no longer be trusted with governance. The next legislative sessions will bring no quick fi xes, no fresh new ideas. Nothing will change. What did we learn from this? It’s time to break the cycle. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Gibson Brothers
accessibility to bluegrass instruments from the music department, bluegrass lessons, a Bluegrass Club, CDs from Feinberg Library’s extensive bluegrass collection and more. For spring 2015, SUNY Plattsburgh is offering a class called Introduction to Bluegrass Music taught by Timothy Hartnett Monday nights from 4 to 6:45 p.m. The class will focus on the history, instruments, performers, preeminent bands, musical structure and songs of this indigenous American musical form. If seeing a concert is enough, tickets cost $20 for general admission and $6 for students. However, if one misses this Gibson Brothers concert, they can attend a concert in Chazy at Chazy Central
From page 1
Eric said. “We didn’t envision making a living at it, but it evolved to that point.” Before they formed a band, the brothers started playing music together in the early ‘80s, playing at fiddle contests and field days. They gradually started playing music and became serious about it while attending SUNY Plattsburgh. “The Gibson Brothers have a special relationship to SUNY Plattsburgh,” said Stephen Light, associate vice president for Academic Affairs at SUNY Plattsburgh. “They’re kind of our favorite sons, and they’re very successful alums of SUNY Plattsburgh.” The band recorded their first album in 1994 and signed a contract with Hay Holler Records a year later. Since then, the group has won numerous, prestigious awards such as Song of the Year in 2013, Album of the Year in 2011 and 2012 and Entertainer of the Year in 2012 and 2013. This year, the band signed with Rounder Records and are putting on many concerts including this concert, which is sponsored by Bluegrass for the Next Generation (BGNG). ‘BLUEGRASS PROJECT’ BGNG started in 2011 intended to promote bluegrass music, education and awareness at SUNY Plattsburgh and in the North Country, and it was launched during the summer of that year with a generous donation from an anonymous donor. “This is a person who had retired and really likes bluegrass, especially the Gibson Brothers,” Light said. “So, he wanted to donate money to the college to promote bluegrass awareness and playing among college students.” The first phrase of the project began Feb. 21 when SUNY Plattsburgh’s WARP radio station started broadcasting an hour of bluegrass three times a week, and the program runs from noon to 1 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday throughout the semester. The second phase of the project took place March 23 when the Gibson Brothers performed for a benefit concert, and all funds raised by the show went to the project to help finance future scholarships, concerts, courses and visiting artists. “I think our affiliation is evolving, [but] we are so busy on the road that we haven’t been as involved as we had hoped,” Eric said. “I hope to have more presence.” The third phrase of the project was to give instruments to several local school districts that summer, and the goal was to foster the learning and performing of bluegrass music. “It has a great rhythm,” Light said. “Bluegrass music in general, when it’s done well, is just a wonderful form of music.” ‘EXPERIENCE BLUEGRASS’ SUNY Plattsburgh offers plenty of ways to get involved with bluegrass music including
The Burgh - 7 Rural School Jan. 24 or go to the fourth annual Plattsburgh Bluegrass Festival Sept. 12. “I think we write songs that people can relate to,” Eric said. “We play and sing from the heart and have a good time.” For more information on BGNG or the concert, contact Light at 518-564-5402 or lightsc@plattsburgh.edu. For more information on the Gibson Brothers and their music, visit their website at www. gibsonbrothers.com. “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.”

Kitten hiding on truck engine adopted Cat rescued and given a home at Knight Automotive By Shawn Ryan
shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — A young cat is down to eight lives, after a harrowing trip in the engine compartment of a GMC truck. Rob Howard, a mechanic at Knight Automotive in Plattsburgh, says that on September 29 he received a call from a customer, who said that she had found a kitten hiding in the engine compartment of her GMC Sierra. She and several neighbors tried to get the kitten out with a garden hose, but the young feline hunkered down under the vehicle’s air filter. “Because he was feral, I know he was looking for a warm place to go,” said Howard. Howard asked if she could bring the vehicle in and he would try to get the cat out. Not long after, she came pulling in, and Howard met her in the parking lot. “I could just see him under the air filter. I took it off, and he jumped down on to the frame. I got close to him, and he ran down the side of the frame and then jumped up onto the transmission,” he said. Howard crawled under the truck, and eventually was able to get the cat to leave the hot transmission and run across the park-

ing lot. He and the vehicle owner chased it, eventually cornering the scared kitten behind a bush in front of the dealership. They caught him and wrapped him in a shirt, and brought him inside the dealership. Knight automotive is very animal-friendly, and owner Rich Knight adopted the kitten on the spot, naming him Sierra after the make of the truck he was hiding in. Knight brought Sierra to a local vet and had him checked out, and treated for worms and ear mites. “This one, he just reminds us of a cat we had years ago. He’s just tremendous, so we decided to keep him,” said Knight. “All he does is purr now. He’s really a good cat.” Knight keeps Sierra mostly in his spacious office, complete with a climbing tower and cat bed, bringing him out periodically to get acclimated with the busy showroom. Numerous customers have asked to adopt Sierra, but he’s not going anywhere. The woman who initially found him stops to visit, and brings in toys for Sierra. “Regal (one of the other two cats at the dealership) gives him baths,” said Knight. “He’s got a great personality and hopefully he’ll be here for years to come.” Sierra still has an affinity for GMC motors. One day he jumped off the desk of one of Knight’s salesmen, and ran into the engine compartment of a truck on the showroom floor. He didn’t fight as hard to stay in that time. Sierra has definitely hit the stray-cat lottery.

Peru’s quick-strike offense cruises past Franklin Academy Indians jump out to early lead and cruise to win By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com POTSDAM — It took the Peru Indians a total time of 1:48 seconds with the ball to make their statement against Franklin Academy Nov. 8. The Indians scored on their opening three drives, only taking 32 seconds, 30 seconds and 1:02 off the clock in each to build a 21-6 lead en route to a 59-6 victory. “Lately we have not been starting games the way we want to,” said Anthony Gallo, who had caught a 12 yard touchdown pass and scored on punt and kickoff returns of 75 yards each. “I think we were able to get things fired up and we were ready to go.” It showed on the first possession of the game, as the Peru defense forced a three-and-out thanks to a tackle for a loss by Dylan Ashline and a fumble by FA. On the punt, John Gallo broke through the line and blocked the punt,

setting the Indians up at the FA 31 yard line. Two plays later, Altizer rewarded John Gallo with an 23-yard scoring strike. After Brandon Sawyer recovered a fumble on the ensuing Franklin Academy drive to put
Peru at the opponent’s 18, Altizer connected with Anthony Gallo for a 12-yard score. On the next possession for FA, an offsides penalty on a fourth-and-five turned into points to cut the lead to 14-6, but Peru responded with a three-play, 58-yard drive which ended when Altizer connected with John Gallo on a 34-yard scoring pass. “I think we got better tonight,” Peru head coach Nick Damiani said. “My guys knew what they were going to be doing and I think that shook (Franklin Academy) offensively. We got the first two scores off their mistakes then they got the momentum shift with a mistake by us. To take the ball right back down the field and go back up by two scores was big for us.” The Indians scored the first five times they touched the ball, including the 75-yard punt return by Anthony Gallo in the first half. Gallo then opened the second half with a 75-yard kick return. “The guys stuck with their blocks and played smart with no blocks in the back,” Gallo said. “There are still things we need to clean up, but I think we are playing smarter.”
Altizer finished the day 14-for-23 with 199 yards and four touchdown passes. John Gallo led receivers with three catches for 75 yards, while Rivelino Hendricks had three grabs for 41 yards and a score and Brandon Sawyer had three catches for 23 yards. Troy Lawyer (27) and Anthony Gallo (17) had a pair of receptions, while Luke Carpenter (18) had one. Sawyer led the ground attack with 145 yards and two scores on 17 carries, while Evan Palmer capped the night with his line carry, a 51-yard score. Dakotta Arquette carried the ball three times for 15 yards, while Ryan Lovely and John Gallo each had one carry for seven yards. Defensively, Makenzie Boyce recorded a pair of sacks, while Lovely added one. Ashline, Sawyer, Hendricks and Mike Hayes each added a tackle for loss. The Indians next play Section II power Schalmont in the regional finals Friday, Nov. 14. “They have really been running through their section the past few years,” Damiani said. “They have a dynamic offense and they are well coached. We have our work cut out for us and this is going to be a very busy week.”
Beekmantown boys advance to Class B semis in Middletown Beekmantown to face third-ranked Livonia for chance at final By Barrie Finnegan
denpubs@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The whole outcome of the game was decided on one big play by the Beekmantown Eagles. On a free kick by Calem Sullivan, an Ichabod Crane defender headed the ball away from the net, but Kaden Baugh directed that ball to Noah Osborne, who ripped a shot towards goalie Peter Volkmann. Volkmann made a diving save on Osborne’s shot but failed to keep possession. The rebound went out to Ryan Waterbury who would not let the golden opportunity slip away. Waterbury sent the shot inside the left post for the go-ahead and eventual gamewinning goal. The Eagles travel to Middletown next week to take on Livonia from Section V in the NYSPHSAA Class B Final Four. Livonia is located south of Rochester in the Geneseo area. Livonia beat East Aurora 2-1 to gain their birth in the semifinals. The other final four matchup is Skaneateles against Mattituck. The Eagles came out fast, dictating the pace and controlling
the ball in the mid-field and keeping most of the action in their offensive zone. Beekmantown head coach Ryan Loucy said he was excited to see them come out aggressive, just like they had all year long. “Our kids were just ready,“ said Loucy. “They came out with energy.” With the location being nearly a home game, Loucy felt his team was ready while Ichabod Crane needed some time to shake off the bus ride. Ichabod Crane goalie Peter Volkmann was tested quickly and often throughout the game on his way to 14 saves. He stopped everything except the game winner that he didn’t stand much of a chance on. On the other end, his counterpart Colden Mrak had a relatively quiet afternoon. Mrak was only called upon once to make a save. The shutout was testimony to a solid defense spearheaded by Kaden Baugh. Baugh was also seen coming up occasionally to get involved in the offense, as was apparent on the scoring play. Coach Loucy was very proud of his team leaders. ”Price was all over the place as well as Proper, Baugh and Waterbury,” Loucy said. “Ryan Waterbury usually plays the traditional forward where he receives the ball and we come up to support him, but tonight he was all over the place.” The coach was also impressed by how the whole team played

a disciplined game and played within the system. When asked what the plan was for Middletown, he smiled. “Have fun,” he said.
Lady Eagles fall just shy of final four with loss to Westhill Beekmantown finishes season with an 18-1 mark and a Section VII Class B championship By Andrew Johnstone
andrew@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The Beekmantown Eagles were given a tough draw in facing the state’s top-ranked Class B team in the state quarterfinals Nov. 8. Beekmantown played Westhill tight through most of the first half, but an apparent leg injury to starting goalkeeper Maggie Chauvin and two late goals by the Warriors put the Eagles in a hole too deep to overcome. The Eagles lost 3-0, finishing the year just shy of the state semifinals and capping off a perfect Section VII season and 1-1 mark in the playoffs. “This year was special,” said Beekmantown coach Pete Bursik after the loss. “I couldn’t be more proud of these girls.” The Warriors gained an early shot advantage in the first half but the Eagles held them out of the goal until Jayanna Monds took a fast break pass from Tatiana Monds and buried it for the 1-0 lead.

Four minutes later, Erin McMullen floated a long direct kick from near the corner into the far side of the Beekmantown net and over Kelsey Baker to go up two. Chauvin, who suffered an apparent leg injury chasing down a loose ball after stopping a hard Westhill shot, remained on the sidelines to support her team.
Despite losing his starting goalie, Bursik said the direct kick goal would have been nearly impossible for either Chauvin or Baker to get a hand on. Westhill finished with a 22-9 advantage in shots on goal, but the Eagles weren’t without their chances. Kallie Villemaire wove through the Warriors’ defense for a strong shot on goal late in the first half and Kirsten Villemaire’s long direct kick from near midfield in the second bounced past Westhill’s defense only to end up in the hands of their goalie. The Eagles got close to getting on the board again with a wellplaced corner kick with seven minutes remaining but couldn’t get it in the back of the net. Then, with 4:08 left, Jayanna Monds picked up her second score of the game off a corner for the final tally of the game. “They’ve grown so close to each other all year,” said Bursik. “They’re just a great group. I wish that just once we could get to the final four, but maybe we’ll have an opportunity again next year.” The game was the last for Beekmantown seniors Bethany Simpson, Kallie Villemaire, Santana Vicencio-Labarre and Carlee Casey, who Bursik said the team rallied around after her season-ending torn ACL. “I’m going to miss them,” added Bursik.

Eagles’ volleyball season ends with 3-1 quarterfinals loss Hudson Falls wins 3-1 By Barrie Finnegan
denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC — Hudson Falls travelled up the Northway to take on the undefeated Beekmantown Eagles in the NYSPHSAA regional finals Nov. 8. After a very competitive match, the Tigers came away with a 3-1 win to send them to the final four next weekend in Glens Falls. Beekmantown came out strong in the first set but couldn’t stretch the lead. Every time the Eagles gained, the Tigers would answer with a point run to catch up. Arianna Hicks tied the set up at 20 with a kill, then after a Hudson Falls point, Brooke Bjelko tied it up again at 21. Bjelko scored twice more before Lydia Bailey finished off the set with the final two points for the 25-22 win and a 1-0 Eagles lead. Hudson Falls coach Sarah Carney said she knew right then that it was up to her to find the necessary adjustments. Carney said she knew she was in for a battle and that her team was playing well so she needed to make the changes to help. After falling behind in the second set, those changes seemed to be working as the Tigers went on runs to out-score the Eagles 25-13. Freshman Kierra McCarthy went on a scoring tear with six straight points to help tie the game at 1-1.
The third set quickly became the most exciting of the match. Both teams would go on runs to get the lead, but the opposition always responded to keep the it close. Near the end, Hudson Falls freshman Reagan Collier-Hogan would come through with three points and sophomore Sophie Lebrun won the final point, giving the Tigers a 25-23 third set win. Momentum seemed to be with Hudson Falls after a hard-fought third set win. The fourth set was another see-saw battle but the Eagles just couldn’t pull away. Tanner Barton had been a force all day for the Tigers and saved her best for last as she won point number 24 and then served her only ace of the day to win the set and the match. Barton said after the match that she knew exactly what she and her team were walking into because she knew Beekmantown players from camps they had attended. “Players like Grace and Michaela were known to be talented and competitive players,” said Barton. Barton led her team with 19 points. She had 15 kills, 16 digs and the game-ending ace. Collier-Hogan was impressive as well with 17 points, including 11 kills, five aces and 26 digs. A very disappointed Eagles team realized their perfect season was over. Coach Shana Hileman was proud of what her team accomplished yet still wished her team could have avoided a few mistakes that cost them the match. Lydia Bailey led the team with 12 points and had nine kills and

19 digs. Michaela Lafountain led the team in assists with 36 and also had 14 digs and five kills. Skye Gates and Grace Kelly both had 21 digs for the Eagles with Kelly adding 22 kills. Both teams fielded only four seniors on their respective teams. With eight players coming back for each, this might not be the final time these two teams meet in the playoffs.
Champagne, Gadway lead Section VII at states XC meet
By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com CANTON — A pair of Section VII runners were able to score podium finished while the Seton Catholic Lady Knights and Lake Placid Blue Bombers ranked high in the Class D races at the NYSPHSAA cross country championships at SUNY Canton Nov. 8. Margaret Champagne finished third for the Lady Knights in the Class D championship race with a time of 19:30.4, helping her team to the runner-up position behind Class D powerhouse Tully. “A lot of our girls have not had the experience of racing at this level, and I think it went well,” coach Kathy Champagne said. “We far exceeded our expectations and there is nothing we would have done differently,” added coach Keith Bombard. Champagne was followed by teammate Sofia DeJordy, an eighth grader who finished 10th overall with a time of 20:21.3. Lake Placid’s Nina Armstrong, who finished 11th overall with a time of 20:27.3, was the third best Section VII harrier. In the boys Class D race, Jonathan Gay was the top finisher with a time of 16:57.8, good for 10th place. Karl Shultz of Lake Placid followed behind in 13th with a time of 17:00.8 and Caleb Moore of Seton Catholic was 19th in 17:25.1. The Blue Bombers, as well as the 12-member Section VII contingent, finished fifth overall. In the final race of the championships, Jeriqho Gadway finished third in the Class C boys race, as the Plattsburgh High senior crossed the line in 16:13.4, just four-tenths ahead of Jeremy Spezio, one of the favorites to win the title. Gadway was in fourth heading into the final 50 meters but was able to catch and pass Spezio just before the finish line. Class D girls 3. Margaret Champagne 10. Sofia DeJordy 11. Gabby Armstrong 33.

The Week In Review
Girls’ soccer Beekmantown 5, Gouverneur 0 PLATTSBURGH — The Eagles kept their undefeated fall alive with a 5-0 thumping of the Wildcats Nov. 4. Now, they’re on to what’s likely the toughest test of the season with a quarterfinal matchup against Section III’s Westhill, the top ranked Class B team in the state, on Nov. 8 in Plattsburgh. Beekmantown jumped out to an early lead against the Section X champs with Kenna Guynup scoring twice in just over two minutes on Kallie Villemaire assists. Kallie Villemaire found the net next for a 3-0 lead 14:42 into the game. The Eagles cruised from there. Kirsten Villemaire scored late in the first half and again early in the second, both on Kallie Villemaire assists. The Eagles, with a 23-4 advantage in shots on goal, picked up the shutout as Maggie Chauvin made four saves. After the Eagles’ Section VII championship win, Coach Pete Bursik said he’d be scouting potential opponents, which may pay off as Beekmantown has a chance at the state semifinals if it wins on Saturday. Massena 2, Peru 1 PLATTSBURGH — The Indians held an early 1-0 lead and outshot the Red Raiders 18-9 but fell short in getting to the next round of regional playoffs in their regional matchup Nov. 4 in Plattsburgh. Hannah LaDuke scored on a Rachel Sheldrick assist 16:41 into the first half but it would be the only time the Indians could get into the net. Abby Laclair scored on a Mia Jermano assist to tie the game at
1-1 midway through the first half. Paige Brothers scored the goahead goal with 14:57 and held on from there. Peru did complete the season as the Section VII Class A champion as the only NSL competitor playing in that class.
Boys’s soccer Peru 2, Massena 0 PLATTSBURGH — It had been nearly three weeks since the Indians played a soccer game. As the only Class A boys’ soccer team in Section VII, the team won the section crown by default and had to wait until Nov. 5 to take on the Red Raiders. The time spent in between seemed to pay off. John Plessis-Belair scored nine minutes into the game on a Andrew Kneussle assist and Dylan Baker added another late in the second half for the 2-0 win over Massena. The Indians outshot the Red Raiders to a tune of 19-2. Goalie Tristan Archambault only needed to stops for the shutout win in net. Peru, ranked 15th in the state by the NYS Sportswriters Association, will face 14th-ranked Jamesville-DeWitt for a chance to play in the state semifinals in Middletown. Beekmantown 3, Ogdensburg 2 POTSDAM — The Eagles fell behind early but responded with three first-half goals to beat the Blue Devils in the Nov. 5 regional semifinals. Skye Dominy tied the game at 1-1 after Peyton Lalone put Ogdensburg on the board. Alex Price scored the go-ahead point two minutes later on a penalty kick.
It took only another three minutes for Beekmantown to give itself some breathing room when Ben Frederick pushed the lead to two late in the first half. Dakota Brady got the Blue Devils within a goal in the second half but Beekmantown would hold the score from there. Colden Mrak made two saves in the win. Beekmantown’s next game will be in the regional finals with a shot at the state semifinals on the line. The Eagles will be facing Ichabod Crane, ranked fourth in the state. Beekmantown is ranked seventh.

Lady Hornets swim their way to Section VII championship Plattsburgh 370 Peru 286 AuSable Valley 251 Moriah 138 CLINTONVILLE — The Hornets cruised their way to the Section VII swimming championship win Nov. 8 while Peru edged out AuSable Valley in a tight race for second place. Moriah finished fourth. Plattsburgh won all but one event at the Saturday meet in Clintonville, led by two individual wins by both Kelly Davey (100 backstroke and 100 freestyle) and Brooke Kelley (100 breaststroke and 100 freestyle). The Hornets’ Alexis Kelley won the 200 freestyle, Meghan Davey won the 200 IM and Toni LaValley was fastest in the 50 freestyle. For Peru, Cydney Bond and Kylei Pena each took second place in the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke, respectively. AuSable Valley’s Emily McCormick took first place in the 500 freestyle as well as a secondplace finish in the 200 freestyle and Lydia Brown picked up two second-place finishes in the 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle. Each relay of the meet went to Plattsburgh. Brooke and Alexis Kelley, Toni LaValley and Kelly Davey won both the 200 freestyle relay and 200 yard medley relay. Meghan Davey, Mia Biondolillo, Tina Mitsoglou and Alexis Kelley took home the 400 freestyle relay. Plattsburgh also set three pool records in the meet. The 200 medley relay team bested the previous mark by three seconds, Brooke Kelley lowered the 100 butterfly time by .08 seconds and also set a new pool-best breaststroke time of 1:10.12, beating her own year-old record of 1:12.23. The Hornets finished the year 6-0, ahead of Peru (4-2), AuSable Valley (2-4) and Moriah (0-6) to cap off a strong season. The NYSPHSAA swimming championship takes place at Ithaca College Nov. 21-22.
