Elizabethtown intersection to be converted to four-way stop Traffic pattern to be converted at town’s single traffic light By Pete DeMola EDITOR
ELIZABETHTOWN | The county seat will still be a one-stoplight town. But the signal on the town’s lone traffic light will change this year for the first time in a half-century. “The intersection of Routes 9 and 9N and Water Street in the Town of Elizabethtown will be converted to require traffic to stop in all four directions,” said Bryan Viggiani, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. The signal will convert to flash red in all four directions, and stop signs will be installed at each corner. A “stop ahead” warning sign with flashing beacons will be also constructed above and below the sign on the northbound Route 9 and Court Street approach to the intersection. The project is anticipated to be included in a multi-
A century of life, writing and Adirondack lore
site regional contract to be “let” in April, and the DOT anticipates the work to be completed sometime this year. Since 1966, the intersection at the northern end of downtown has a two-way blinking caution light for north-southbound motorists and red stop for westeastbound travelers on Water and River Streets. The swap comes after years of resident concerns, including a petition by a local mother last fall after her son was involved in a minor accident stemming from visibility issues. “I’m excited that it’s a step forward,” said Chantell Rowe. “I’m optimistic, but I think there will be new complications and new issues.” The DOT’s plans follow an analysis of accident and traffic data, Viggiani said. Arin Burdo, executive director of the nearby Elizabethtown Social Center, lauded the decision. “I do think it will make it a safer intersection,” Burdo said. But she expressed concern over the larger vehicles coming to a stop at what is known locally as Town Hill, particularly during slick wintertime conditions. The intersection is also major shipping thoroughfare between Vermont, the Champlain Valley and the High Peaks. » Intersection Cont. on pg. 5

Edith Cutting celebrates 100 years By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
KEENE VALLEY | A century casts a long line in one life. For Edith E. Cutting, who celebrated her 100th birthday last Saturday, much of that time was spent writing, teaching and collecting Adirondack folklore centered around her family farm in Lewis. She traveled at times, stirring interest in folklore from parts of Scandinavia, Europe and areas around New York. Her achievements and travels home to visit her parents Leon O. and Cora (Bartlett) Cutting are mentioned often in area newspapers from 1934 onward. A bulk of Edith’s papers, manuscripts and letters are archived at the M. E. Grenander Department of Special Collections & Archives Science Library at SUNY Albany. » Cutting Cont. on pg. 11

Boyajian, seeking Democratic nomination, serves politics with side of bluegrass Music a way to combat political divisiveness, says candidate who aims to unseat Stefanik By Pete DeMola EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | The musician hurried in, a slight figure who quickly made his way through the dinnertime crowd and slipped into an open pocket at the end of the bar. After a brief soundcheck, the man began plucking away at an acoustic guitar. The man sang “That’s The Way The World Goes Round” by John Prine, his voice carrying with it a strong rustic twang. His guitar was soft and twinkling, and the man generated polite applause from the dinnertime crowd, most of whom appeared to several beers deep into their Saturday night at a lakeside venue. “My name’s Don Boyajian, and I’m running against Elise Stefanik,” said the musician. “We can’t hear you,” mouthed a woman at the bar. Don Boyajian hopped down from his stool, tinkered with a speaker and launched into a second song. It was bolder and heartier this time, sending a slight amplified rumble into the floorboards and oak-barrel furniture. “I just happened to be in Plattsburgh on an early spring night,” Boyajian said.
Boyajian, 33, is seeking the Democratic nomination for New York’s 21st Congressional District. If successful, the first-time candidate will go up against Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) this November. The candidate has spent the past month fundraising and circulating petitions to get on the ballot, and he said he has gathered enough signatures for ballot access ahead of the April 12 deadline. “It’s going well, tremendous. It’s very smooth,” he said. “We’ve ramped up very nicely. We’re well past the goal we needed to hit, and we’re still out getting more and more signatures and recruiting people and already doing voter outreach as well.” The top Democratic fundraiser for two consecutive quarters says he looks forward to another strong quarter, which concluded on Saturday. But Boyajian was at Valcour Brewing primarily to connect with people who are not ordinarily engaged in politics. “We live in this incredibly divisive time where a lot of people are so turned off by the divisiveness, they tune out and don’t want to participate,” Boyajian told The Sun before the event. “And I don’t blame them.” He launched his “Bluegrass and Politics Tour” last month with a performance in Waddington, St. Lawrence County with a local lawmaker’s country-western outfit. Music, Boyajian said, is the “great unifier.” “We may have slightly different political views or affiliations, but we can connect over Patsy Cline or Merle Haggard or whoever.” Boyajian’s Democratic opponents include Tedra Cobb, Emily Martz, David Mastrianni, Patrick Nelson, Dylan Ratigan and Katie Wilson.
Some of them also play instruments, including Nelson — who posted photos of himself on social media performing at an Easter Mass over the weekend — and Martz, who is known to play the fiddle. More than one successful ballot drive will trigger a primary election on June 26. Lynn Kahn is also circulating petitions to run as an independent and on the Green Party line. For now, Boyajian was intent on penetrating the protective barrier of 20-somethings seated around the U-shaped bar. He launched into a third song, seemingly content to pluck away and provide soft background music, which he did in an unassuming fashion with tremendous dexterity. Boyajian has immense respect for folks like Chet Atkins, a guitarist whose style was rooted in completing full arrangements on just a single instrument. The progenitor of what’s known as the Nashville Sound pioneered a trademark style on the guitar, playing bass, chords and melodies all at once. Atkins was a landmark influence for Boyajian alongside folks like Haggard, whose “Working Man Blues” the candidate has promised will be his campaign theme song if he sews up the nomination. Themes in country, folk and bluegrass resonate with working class voters, he said. “Merle Haggard is probably my biggest influence in music,” Boyajian said. “He had an honesty and authenticity to his sound and he really sang about the things that affected all of us as Americans. Just trying to pay the bills, trying to get a job. He was a very honest musician.” Boyajian was in full music nerd mode at the Valcour, growing animated as he dis-
HEAR
cussed his lifelong journey through a broad section of genres, starting with classical as a young violinist with the Empire State Youth Orchestra. He flirted with rock and roll as a teen, aping Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton — “I wanted to play really loud” — and has since dabbled in country, bluegrass, folk and gypsy jazz, playing the steel guitar and banjo. The admitted workaholic uses music as a relief valve, performing solo and with a number of causal weekend warrior outfits, including a bar band that rips into Creedence Clearwater Revival and Van Morrison covers on the weekend in Cambridge, Washington County, where he lives. “Genres are very fluid, just like people’s views are fluid,” Boyajian said. “I constantly go from genre to genre and genre, and really that’s one of the best things about America, our culture, and the diversity of music genres that we have created.” While the “Fortunate Son” experiments with writing, arranging and composing, the multi-instrumentalist does not consider himself to be a fully-fledged songwriter. He’s never satisfied with his compositions and always tinkers with them during private moments. He fingerpicked through a nimble instrumental in the Atkins vein, bringing a hint of Bakersfield to the polar opposite end of the country. “Can you hear me now?” he told the crowd. “Ar-tic-u-late,” said the woman at the bar. “I’ll try to articulate as much as I can,” Boyajian gamely responded. With the help of a staffer, a campaign aide carried over a table and placed the PA on top of it.

The woman nodded and the crowd chattered. “Upstate New York has been good to me,” Boyajian said before diving into a modified stump speech. “Eighty percent of the ingredients for success are here,” he said. “We just need some leaders to fight for us.” Boyajian works as an environmental and municipal attorney at Dreyer Boyajian LLP, a law firm co-founded by his father that is representing numerous counties across the state in a class action lawsuit against opioid manufacturers — including Clinton County. “That’s why we need someone fighting for
us. Congress has done nothing,” Boyajian said. He looked around. “I think Pete is listening,” he said, referring to this reporter. “I’m going to play some new tunes.” A number called “Sitting on Top of the World” followed, as did a repeat of the first song — but louder this time. Boyajian set down his instrument and waded into the audience. An aide handed campaign literature to the 20-somethings, who expressed a mild sense of polite interest. “I just want people to know who I am,” Boyajian said. “I’m someone who loves where I’m from, I love the outdoors, I love music, and I want to fight for this place I call home.” ■ This is the third in a series of dispatches from the campaign trail as candidates for New York’s 21st Congressional District travel the district during the petition process.

Budget closes $4.4 billion shortfall, strips out controversial Adirondack PILOT proposal By Pete DeMola EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | Lawmakers passed a $168.3 billion state budget early Saturday. The spending plan closes a $4.4 billion shortfall amid risks to federal aid and includes a $1 billion increase in state education aid. Employers will also be given the option to shift to a payroll tax, a measure proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo as a workaround to the new federal cap on state and local tax deductions. A new fee on opioid manufacturers is projected to raise $100 million annually for efforts to combat the opiate epidemic. The budget also contains new surcharges on ridesharing services and a new state sexual harassment policy. “This budget was the most difficult budget that I think we have done,” said Cuomo, citing ongoing uncertainty at the federal level. Key environmental issues include $300 million for the Environmental Protection Fund, an ongoing investment in funds for clean drinking water and infrastructure and $65 million to combat algal blooms statewide.
LOCAL REACTIONS
A controversial proposal to change how local governments and school districts are compensated for state-owned lands in the Adirondacks and Catskills by utilizing a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes system was not
included in the final spending plan, a decision roundly praised by local stakeholders. “After a long and drawn out budget negotiation, I was very pleased to see an on-time budget that removed the PILOT, which would have changed the way the state would pay taxes on forever wild lands in New York,” said state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury). Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) said the shift would have passed expenses to local taxpayers. “It would have also left local governments with less leverage to negotiate with the state in the future,” Jones said. “By continuing to assess Forest Preserve lands in the same manner as private lands, we’re protecting this vital revenue source for the North Country so our neighborhoods can grow rather than wither.” The state Division of the Budget had defended the proposal as one that would see localities receiving more funds annually with less administrative oversight. Reforms to deepen incentives and tax breaks to promote sustainable logging were also not included in the budget bills. “This was one of the greatest missed conservation opportunities in the budget this year, and we ask that legislative leaders get behind the proposal for next year’s budget,” said Jessica Ottney Mahar, policy director for the Nature Conservancy in New York, which lobbied heavily for the bill. Stec was he was encouraged to see an increase in education foundation and library aid, funds to combat opioid abuse and the restoration of a funding stream to ensure the maintenance of local roads and bridges. The North Country Chamber of Commerce (NCCC) praised $175 million in support for workforce development, a continued $5 million investment in the Trudeau Institute and a $62.5 million capital commitment for the Olympic Regional Development Authority. NCCC President Garry Douglas highlighted

allocations for activities designed to strengthen the U.S.-Canada relationship and for continued development of the North Country’s transportation equipment and aerospace cluster. “The budget also continues the Regional Economic Development Council system and competition for an eighth year,” Douglas said, “which is something we applaud as this system and approach has undeniably served the North Country especially well.”
NO NEW TAXES
Senate Republicans succeeded in batting back the governor’s request for $1 billion in new taxes and fees, said state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury). “For taxpayers and small businesses, in particular, it is important the state holds the line on revenue raisers for affordability, the health of the economy and for job creation,” Little said. Little touted investments in numerous local programs, including tick prevention, funds for a Ray Brook facility that monitors acid rain recovery, and monies for numerous higher education and workforce development initiatives at local colleges, including $500,000 for autism regional centers. The enacted budget also allows for the creation of a legislative pay commission to examine whether to lawmakers should get a bump on their $79,500 annual salary for the first time in decades.
CUOMO SCORES WINS
Cuomo proposed several policy measures in January, many of which were removed during negotiations with legislative leaders, including early voting and the elimination of cash bail requirements for low-level criminal offenders. But the governor also notched several wins, including the creation of two new state-operated charitable contribution funds to accept donations for health care and education improvements. Employers will now also have the opportunity to replace the income tax currently paid by employees with a payroll tax paid by the company.
Legislation to tighten up firearm ownership among domestic abusers was also passed by the state legislature. The new law bolsters the list of “serious” crimes which require the loss of a gun license and the surrender of all firearms upon conviction — including misdemeanors. Those convicted of a domestic crime are now required to surrender all firearms, not just handguns, following their conviction. And those wanted for a felony or other serious offenses will not be able to obtain or renew a firearm license before their case is resolved. Cuomo said the measures are “common sense” reforms that further weaken the “inextricable” link between gun violence and domestic abuse. “This legislation builds on our gun laws — already the strongest in the nation — to make New York safer and stronger,” Cuomo said. Lawmakers passed the budget early Saturday just hours ahead of the beginning of the state’s new fiscal year. The state Assembly wrapped up their session shortly before 4 a.m. Stec has long lashed Albany’s culture of tying policy proposals to the budget and passing a flurry of bills at the last minute, giving lawmakers scant time to read and digest the legislation. The lawmaker also blasted what he called the state’s “tax-and-spend” culture. “New Yorkers are being buried under high taxes and forced out of state by the high cost of living,” he said. “As legislators, we need to be focusing on reducing the tax burden and making New York more affordable for its residents.” State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli acknowledged “areas of concern.” “As in past years, the budget negotiation process was mostly done behind closed doors, leaving the public in the dark about how taxpayer money will be spent,” DiNapoli said in a statement. “My office will provide a more detailed analysis of the enacted budget in the coming weeks.” ■

Ever wonder “where are they now?”
Phil Gallos of Saranac Lake, pictured here, took home the Best in Show Award from the Adirondack Artists Guild’s 20th annual juried art competition last month for his black and white photograph, “November Light.” More than 40 artists contributed 60 works to this year’s show. Other awardwinners were Saratoga Spring’s Anne Diggory in first place; second place went to Lynda Mussen of Peru; and Ron Larsen of Canton won third prize. Photo provided » Intersection Cont. from pg. 1 Logging operations add to the fleet of numerous heavy trucks that pass through town, joining trucks from nearby quarries and a state DOT substation located near the Adirondack Northway ramp about three miles east. “I’m assuming a four-way stop is the easiest and cheapest solution they have,” Burdo said. “But I think that will be the primary concern of locals.” “Everybody’s concerned about traffic and trucks going down the hill,” said Town of Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew. “That’s our big concern.” The Elizabethtown Volunteer Fire Department is located nearby on River Street, and the Elizabethtown Community Hospital is located about a half mile up Court Street. Acting Chief Jack Hanby expressed concern over the ability of first responders to get through a congested intersection in the event of an emergency. “If there’s a line of cars, what are we going to do?” Hanby said. “My concern is how much longer we will wait at that intersection. I’m afraid
somebody is going to get hurt.” DOT modified a flashing signal at the intersection of Routes 9N, 22 and 74 in Ticonderoga three years ago. Following that change, right-angle-type collisions were reduced by 75 percent, according to the DOT. “The (DOT) expects to see a comparable reduction in collisions at the intersection of Routes 9 and 9N and Water Street in Elizabethtown,” Viggiani said. Modifying the signal is just one element of the project. Other action items include bringing the southbound Maple Street crosswalk and sidewalk curb ramps closer to the intersection to improve pedestrian visibility; applying “stop ahead” markings to the pavement and the addition of “all way” text to the stop signs on all four legs of the intersection; “The changes are expected to improve visibility for pedestrians and reduce collisions, thus improving safety for all users and boosting pedestrian mobility,” Viggiani said. ■

This week’s featured pet is FRITZ, a Miniature Schnauzer-mix who was in dire straits when he arrived at the shelter. Poor Fritz came in with fur that was so matted and dirty, we were barely certain he was a dog, much less what breed he might be! He had severe ear infections which had persisted for so long that he suffered some permanent hearing loss. We now have this little man looking like a proud miniature Schnauzer. Our vet believes that this spunky little guy is about 8 years old. Fritz is a real gentleman: he is super polite and eager to please! Our little guy would love to find a home that will appreciate him for his terrific personality and oversized heart. He does like other dogs as long as they give him sufficient space, and he seems to ignore cats. If you’re a Schnauzer lover or just looking for a nice small dog come check out our fancy little man! ■ — Kat Wilcox’s weekly column works to publicize the shelter’s adoptable pets.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline
Beware of hackers and scam artists Unless you can tell it’s a check inside the envelope, a letter from the IRS strikes fear in most Americans. By Dan Alexander Many fear the IRS • PUBLISHER • so much they are willing to do almost anything to get them out of their lives as quickly as possible. Recognizing this common fact, opportunistic scammers are on the prey. The final rush before this year’s April 17 tax deadline puts everyone on edge — including tax professionals — making us all easy targets for scammers. There’s a growing concern that sophisticated ID thieves could be stealing some information — bank account numbers, for instance — from tax professionals in a phishing email known as the “New Client” scam. Tax professionals are increasingly a target for data theft, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Already this filing season, the IRS disclosed an upswing in reported thefts of taxpayer information from the offices of tax practitioners. Taxpayer data thefts in January and February are up nearly 60 percent over the same time last year. And it’s not just the tax professionals that need to be on guard: bogus threats on self-service preparers are still just as popular. With the number of these encounters on the rise, we want you to be aware of your rights. The IRS will never call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill. If you haven’t received an invoice, ask them to send it again by registered mail. The IRS will not demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. Beware if they want to negotiate the amount hoping for an amount you might consider worth getting the IRS out of your life. They will not require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. Nor will they ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. The IRS will not threaten to bring in local police or other law enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying your taxes. Never give or confirm personal information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, account numbers or passwords to unsolicited callers and emails. For more information, visit irs.gov/ uac/Report-Phishing or call the local IRS Office. ■

From the Editorial Board
Attacks on news media fuel dangerous precedent A reporter from the New York Daily News was the subject of 15 minutes of Twitter fame last week after being arrested for speaking on his cell phone in the lobby of the Senate chamber during state budget negotiations. Ken Lovett was briefly detained by the state police in Albany before being released — but not before Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to the rescue. Cell phones are banned in the lobby, a policy that is largely unenforced, according to observers. No charges were fi led, and Lovett later said law enforcement were “very professional.” Cuomo later joked about it with reporters at a press conference detailing the budget agreement. “We have set up a $1 million emergency bail fund for arrested reporters. We call it Ken’s Law because we believe in freedom of the press, but we wanted that emergency bail fund,” Cuomo said. Hardy-har. We’ll chalk it up to the governor’s often-corny (but well-intended) sense of humor. All joking aside, Lovett’s detainment is part of a troubling trend, and to treat the incident so blithely belies the sustained and deepening attacks against a free and independent press in this country. We should all question when reporters are led out of a public space in handcuffs. The incident dovetails with an emerging story that continues to dominate headlines. A promotional campaign by the Sinclair Broadcast Group has anchors from its nearly 200 television affiliates nationwide reading identical scripts warning against what they purport is journalistic malpractice.

NRA not to blame for massshootings
To the Editor: (In reference to “Inspiring” by John O’Neill, March 24.) The activity by the youths would be more inspiring if they knew what they were protesting against, instead of just taking the talking points of the anti-Second Amendment groups backing them with bus rides and other goodies. Groups like Soros’ anti-Second Amendment group Everytown, march for women and other such anti-groups, and Hollywood actors. First off, the AR-15 is not an

The anchors state their programming aims to combat “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing our country.” “The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media,” states the script. “Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what people think. This is extremely dangerous to democracy.” Whoa there. The fact that seasoned reporters are being asked to parrot this script to their viewers with no supporting evidence or data is in itself irresponsible. Doing so is the antithesis of our mission statement as reporters. If the Fourth Estate cannot safeguard against the increasingly blurred line between truth and “alternative facts,” who can? Sinclair is perceived by critics as having a right-leaning agenda, and observers have noted the frequency of pro-Trump commentaries. But using trusted reporters as a megaphone to present opinions is deeply alarming, even more so in rural markets with few trusted media outlets like those in which Sinclair operate. These “commentaries” are simply repeating and validating the talking points of a president who dismisses any reporting that casts his tumultuous administration in an unfavorable light as “fake news.” As such, the impact of hard-hitting stories lose their impact while offering legitimacy to a dangerous concept — that’s there’s some type of overarching conspiracy to discredit an otherwise faultless administration. As the media expert Jay Rosen put it: The
assault rifle. The AR stands or the name for the company which produces the rile, Armalite. To be an assault rifle, as used by the military, it would need to be automatic. The AR-15 is a semiautomatic, which means the trigger must be pulled for each shot fired. As well, it uses a smaller caliber bullet. The NRA had nothing to do with the killings in their school. Rather it was the FBI, police and the other law enforcement who did nothing about tips, and some doctors who examined the kid and declared him to be nonthreatening and not a danger to others who allowed the kid to go on the killing rampage.

network should instead openly market itself as the conservative alternative in local news. Saying “we’re balanced and everyone else is biased” is a disservice to the news organizations who take their professional responsibilities seriously, whether at free local weekly newspapers like this one or national media powerhouses. Our ethical obligations are only magnified by the sensitive nature of today’s political climate, one in which reporters are routinely in the crosshairs and under sharp scrutiny from an increasingly hostile public. There were, however, reasons to be optimistic this week. The president’s sustained blows to the media appear to be losing their impact on everyday Americans, according to a Monmouth University poll released Monday. While it’s alarming that 77 percent of Americans believe traditional major TV and newspaper media outlets report fake news, people cannot seem to agree on the precise definition. That’s troubling, to be sure, and illustrates we as news organizations have a long way to go to bridge the trust gap with the public. But the poll also reveals a plurality of Americans put more trust in major news network than in the president, rating No. 45 less trustworthy than each of the three major cable news networks. We’ll continue to earn public trust by providing accurate information, and for being transparent with our audience and sources. But these sustained attacks are not helping, and pose an additional challenge to an already beleaguered industry. — The Sun Editorial Board ■
The NRA program “Eddie Eagle” has taught thousands of young people to beware of the dangers of guns as well how to handle them safely. The anger of these kids, although commendable and understandable, is directed in the wrong direction. Getting law enforcement to follow up on tips would be more useful. Edward Binder, Thurman ■

Stefanik to host public forum in Moriah Event slated for Friday at Moriah Fire Department By Pete DeMola EDITOR
MORIAH | Rep. Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro) will host a public forum Friday, April 6 at the Moriah Fire Department from noon to 1 p.m. “This is a great opportunity to hear directly from you and speak about the issues before Congress,” Stefanik said in a statement. Stefanik will take questions

Look to Australia for answer to gun control question
To the Editor: On April 28, 1996, in Port Arthur, Australia, Martin Bryant killed 58 people using an AR-15 assault rifle. Shortly after the massacre, the Australian government, with unanimous approval, passed a law banning all automatic assault-type rifles, including the importing of such weapons. The government instituted a “buy back” program where the government bought back such weapons. In the past 22 years since the law was passed, there has been no mass shootings. None, zero! The Australian government is smarter than the American government. Those of you who are afraid of losing your Second Amendment rights? That will never happen. It’s only a fear mongering tactic used by Wayne LaPierre, who receives more than $4 million dollars a year to keep you from approving gun legislation. Joe DeMarco, Jay ■
Disappointed at Stefanik’s environmental record
To the Editor: As a long time Audubon member, I was highly distressed to see the newly-appointed Executive Director of New York Audubon, Ana Paula Tavares, linked with Rep. Elise Stefanik in the March 24 issue of the Sun. Did no one think to inform Ms. Tavares of Rep. Stefanik’s abysmal environmental voting record? Elise Stefanik has consistently voted for economic versus environmental protections, starting with voting for the Keystone XL pipeline; against listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken as endangered; for projects that fund fossil fuel energy, nuclear and atomic energy development; against fisheries management; reducing regulations for development of energy on Native American land; for increased trade in crude oil and related infrastructure and against the EPA issuing carbon pollution guidelines for industries. She has voted in opposition to the Stream

Protection Act and the Federal Water Pollution Act. She was a key vote in a number of legislative acts that reduced environmental protections including allowing coal companies to continue to dump waste. It has taken New York state about 40 years to attempt to recover from acid rain effects, due largely to emissions from midwest coal production. Stefanik’s major funding comes from sources highly antithetical to environmental concerns. It is sad to think that Ms. Tavares’ newness to New York state is being exploited during this 21st district congressional campaign season. I will continue my local, New York and national Audubon memberships, but begin to watch more carefully the political alliances made by the organization. Phyllis Magnus, Saranac Lake ■
Smoking is a personal choice
To the Editor: In response to the article on Essex County restricting tobacco sales. They want to raise the age from 18 to 21. I was not brought up by my parents that smoked. I started smoking when I was 13. I would like to know when this Adirondack Health Institute Tobacco 21 came into effect? And besides, your agency is adult protective, not social services preventative or foster care. About the statistics on smoker deaths in Essex County: People could die from marijuana, opiates, suicide, car accidents and kidney failure. There are so many remedies: e-cigarettes, patches, nicotine gum, inhalers. Your physician can write you a prescription for these. Now they have added to your mental health. A nurse who sees you on your first visit. She tries to convince you to come back. Smoking is an addiction. Alcohol and drugs are an addiction. Smoking is a personal choice. I do have grandchildren and they do not smoke. Everyone is going to die. With life follows death. This is called acceptance. So, why don’t you send that money to the children at St. Jude’s Hospital?

Thanks for your service, Dr. Savel
To the Editor: I think I speak for many when I say a very big “thank you” to Dr. Savel not only for his recent Elizabethtown Community Hospital endowment for ongoing personnel education, but also for these many years of his and Isabel’s devoted care in their Elizabethtown medical practice. When I and my family moved to the North Country in 1973, I asked a new friend to share with me who was a good medical doctor in the area. The immediate and enthusiastic answer was: Herb Savel. We took the advice, and have marveled at our good fortune to have such expert medical attention and up-to-date expertise for all of these years. And now Dr. Savel makes this major gift to our community: the gift of education; the gift that keeps on giving far into the future. There are not enough ways to say “thank you,” but I wanted to publicly acknowledge my and my family’s gratitude. If every community on Planet Earth had just one doctor like Herb Savel, this would be a kinder, healthier, more caring planet.

Go vegan for Passover

Guest Viewpoint
The opioid superstorm By Bob Ross GUEST COLUMNIST
Addiction is a disease, not just of individuals, but of families and communities as well. National studies about addiction have shown that for each addicted person, seven other individuals are affected – family members, employers, health care professionals, law enforcement personnel, those in the criminal justice system, and so on. And there’s also the economic costs of increases in emergency room visits and extended hospitalizations, the loss of income to sustain families and in taxes to maintain communities. Combined, all have a negative economic impact on our society. Specifically, the expanding epidemic is giving rise to a new increasing economic problem that Princeton economist Alan Krueger, as published last fall in Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, suggests could account for about 20 percent of the observed decline in men’s labor force participation from 1999 to 2015, and 25 percent of the observed decline in women’s labor force participation during that same period. The greatest loss is, of course, that of human life. In 2016 alone, 64,000 Americans died of opioid overdoses – more than the combined combat fatalities of the Vietnam, Iraq and Afghan Wars. Opiate-related overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50. The loss of life from opioid-related deaths continues to grow. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has recently reported that there has been a 30 percent increase in opioid-related deaths in the last 14 months and that a third of the deaths from heroin during that period involve individuals who began their addiction with prescription opioids. In the North Country, St. Joseph’s has experienced a 106 percent increase in admissions to outpatient services with heroin/opioid diagnosis in less than two years and experienced an inpatient rehabilitation services admission rate for 2017 of over 97 percent heroin/opioid diagnoses. Despite the grim statistics, the welcome and growing awareness that addiction is a chronic treatable brain disease, not unlike the chronic diseases of diabetes and asthma, and not a weakness
or moral failing provides tremendous opportunities of healing through acceptance and understanding. However, for those hoping that 2018 would be a turning point in the fight against opioids, the unfortunate reality is that we are falling further and further behind. Between 2011 and 2016, while funding to the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse has increased by approximately 50 percent, the number of opioid deaths in New York state during that period more than tripled. The 2018-2019 state budget, which was passed in the early morning hours on Saturday, provides additional funding for prevention and treatment, including: •$10.6 million in capital funding for the acquisition of property, design, construction and/or rehabilitation of facilities to expand substance abuse support and services, including treatment, recovery and prevention services. • $3.8 million for the development and implementation of substance use disorder treatment in local jails; and • $1.5 million for the creation of an Independent Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Ombudsman to assist individuals in receiving appropriate health insurance coverage. However, while a $100 million new surcharge on opioid manufacturers to help cover the state’s costs for statefunded drug and alcohol treatment programs was part of the state budget, it is disappointing that the majority of these funds, as the budget was passed, will not combat the opioid and heroin crisis in this fiscal year. The increased awareness of the epidemic, now reinforced with new state funding, provides all of us as citizens a further opportunity to contact our legislators and thank them for their votes on these critical bills, but also to encourage them to work towards securing the full $100 million opioid manufacturer surcharge for treatment and prevention in this fiscal year. Substance abuse provider agencies in the North Country need the support of individuals throughout the North Country to both advocate for continued resources for substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery and to enhance the notion that working to reduce the stigma of addiction, and supporting individuals and families in recovery, will lead to healthier individuals and stronger families and communities throughout the North Country. ■ — Bob Ross is the president and CEO of St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Centers.

EPA cuts rejected in federal budget bill Trump stymied in request to cut Environmental Protection Agency budget by 31 percent By Pete DeMola EDITOR
ELIZABETHTOWN | The omnibus government spending bill passed by Congress and signed by the president last month rejects deep cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and fully funds the agency at 2017 spending levels. The EPA was given $8.1 billion for the 2018 fiscal year as part of the $1.3 trillion spending plan, a sharp reversal of the 31 percent reduction sought by President Trump and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. Green groups are praising New York’s Congressional delegation for their efforts to save the funding. “We want to thank upstate Congressional reps Elise Stefanik, Paul Tonko, the late Louise Slaughter and John Faso, as well as Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, for urging their colleagues to keep EPA’s budget unharmed,” said Adirondack Council Executive Director William Janeway in a statement.
SLIGHT BUMP
The plan increases EPA’s budget while also providing funds for other environmental and public health priorities. Overall, the federal agency received a $763 million increase, according to the Adirondack Council, including $300 million each for the Clean Water Fund and Safe Drinking Water Fund; $63 million for implementation of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act and $50 million for new grant programming to address lead in drinking water. Since taking office last January, the Trump administration has rolled back a number of Obama-era initiatives, including pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Accord and repealing the Clean Power Plan, a policy to curb greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants.
Peter Iwanowicz, executive director of Environmental Advocates of New York, hailed stakeholders for silencing “the anti-environmental, anti-public health cacophony radiating from Washington.” “Only by standing together could we have beaten back the egregious, dangerous and reckless proposed cuts coming from the Trump Administration,” Iwanowicz said in a statement. The spending bill also received high marks from Food & Water Watch, NY/NJ Baykeeper and Citizens Campaign for the Environment, among other green groups.

ACID RAIN IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Funding for acid rain and climate research remained at current levels, some $21.2 million. The Adirondack Council has fought aggressively against cuts to grant funding that aids in acid rain and climate change research, citing the recovery of local waterways and loon and trout populations since the 1990 Clean Air Act curbed the effects of air pollution blown over from midwestern power plants. The bill also includes a slight bump for conservation easements and open space protection projects; ongoing funds for the Lake Champlain Basin Program and reauthorization for a federal law that provides clean-up funds for contaminated industrial properties — including a site in Plattsburgh. The Adirondack Council has viewed Stefanik, a sophomore Republican, as critical in efforts to preserve research grant funding for the Adirondack Lakes Survey Corporation (ALSC) in Ray Brook, a nonprofit laboratory that takes samples from local waterways annually to monitor acid rain recovery. “If we lost the ability to document the damage, we lose the ability to stop that pollution,” Janeway said. “We can’t hope to persuade Congress or the courts to protect us from damage that we can’t prove. Science is our only means of defense against acid rain and climate change.” The operating budget for the ALSC was approximately $700,000 in 2017, with the New York State Research and Development Authority constituting the primary funding source. But state budget cuts to the facility have seen eight staff terminated last December; the facility is now working with a skeleton crew, and the frequency of Adirondack lake monitoring is expected to be slashed by two-thirds.
Green groups are praising New York’s Congressional delegation for their efforts to preserve funding for the Environmental Protection Agency in the 2018 spending bill. Pictured above: Adirondack Park Agency Chairman Sherman Craig hands Rep. Elise Stefanik an award for her efforts to combat acid rain. Photo provided The collection of that data is critical to drafting responsible state and federal policy on emission control and air transport regulations, according to the Adirondack Council, and research has been cited repeatedly in federal and state legislation, regulatory actions and testimony to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Running out of the data stream leaves us with the inability to prove what we can see and what we know we’re finding in the environment,” said John Sheehan, a spokesman for the group. Stefanik toured the facility recently, and pledged to be an active partner at the federal level. “I am committed to fighting for this appropriation and this funding when it comes to the federal side, and I think we need to continue to encourage New York state to encourage their funding for this important research to monitor acid rain within the Adirondacks,” Stefanik said in a telephone conference call with constituents last month. The Adirondack Council will now pivot to ensure Pruitt actually spends the money as allocated, and they would like to see EPA’s
commitment to acid rain and climate research increase in the future The funding stream for lake and river chemistry testing, some $250,000 annually, has not changed in more than a decade, while expenses have grown. “We will work to bring those funding levels up to keep pace with increasing costs here in the park,” Janeway said. The Adirondack Council is also punching back against the White House repeal of the Clean Power Plan, and joined a federal lawsuit alleging the agency hasn’t been tough enough on preventing smog. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland last October aims to force regulatory agencies to order 36 power plants to activate air pollution control equipment that has already been installed. “You’re getting pollution levels similar to a bad day in Lower Manhattan,” Sheehan said. “That’s bad news.” ■ — To read this story in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com.

Doris “Dodo” Merrihew ELIZABETHTOWN | Doris Merrihew, aged 94, affectionately called Dodo, died peacefully on March 27, 2018. Doris was born in Nashville, Tennessee on June 29, 1923 to Landon and Eunice (Munn) Hicks. After graduating from Isaac Litton High School and completing nursing school, she enlisted in the US Army Nurse Corps during WWII. First Lieutenant Hicks was assigned to army hospitals, hospital trains and medical transport ships. While crossing the Atlantic on the USAHS Charles A. Stafford, she met Captain Noel H. Merrihew, Jr., DDS. Doris and Noel were married on Aug. 28, 1947 in Hyde Park. After being discharged from the Army, they moved to Elizabethtown to start a family and Dr. Merrihew’s dental practice. Doris was an active member of the United Church of Christ, serving for decades as a deacon, trustee and treasurer.
Continuing in her dedication to the medical field, she was the president of the Elizabethtown Community Hospital Board when the hospital was planned, support was raised and ground was broken. She was honored with the designation of Lifetime Honorary ECH Board Member. She was also among the first women to join the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad. She was involved with many civic organizations including Eastern Star; American Legion and Auxiliary; Garden Club; ELCS School Board; Essex County Historical Society; Boy and Girl Scout troops and the North Country Girl Scout Council; ELYC; RSVP; and the Elizabethtown Library Association. She served on the boards of many of these, often as treasurer. She received the Mary Prime Award from the Republican Women of Essex County for outstanding community service. Though Doris was committed to many church and civic causes, her devotion to her family was extraordinary. She was predeceased by the love of her life, Dr. Noel Merrihew, Jr.; their infant son; son Gregory Merrihew; brother L.C. Hicks; and
dear in-laws Irving, Tal and Don. Dodo is survived by her children Marsha (Ken) Fenimore, Noel (Hedy) Merrihew, III, Karen (Jack) Merrihew Knox and daughterin-law Suzie Kier-Merrihew. Her legacy also includes her grandchildren: Arin (Steve) Burdo; Landon (Cara) Fenimore; Chelsea (Ryan Dolly) Merrihew; Noel Hartley (Sara Hurlburt) Merrihew; Jonathan (Courtney) Merrihew; Evan Knox; Georgiana Knox; and great-grandchildren Paul (Desire), Abigail, Analise, and Benjamin Burdo; and Samantha and William Dolly. She also leaves behind her beloved sister Wilma and sister-in-law Helene. Doris’ family is grateful for the caregivers who treated her with integrity, respect and love during her final years. A memorial service will be held at the United Church of Christ in Elizabethtown on April 14 at 11 a.m., with a reception immediately following in the parish hall. Donations in Doris’ memory may be made to the United Church of Christ. Arrangements are being made by Heald Funeral Home, Elizabethtown. ■

» Cutting Cont. from pg. 1 She was born March 31, 1918 in Elizabethtown and attended the high school here. On a warm Monday evening in July 1933, the graduating class gathered for their music and theatrical performances, according to the Post-Record. The class play, presented at graduation, looked ahead 10 years to an imagined reunion scene on the front porch at the home of Louise Prime. “The class poem was written and delivered by Edith Cutting, valedictorian of the class. Donald MacDougal, a member of the class, rendered a vocal solo “Trees” and the entire school sang “School Days” and “Where, Oh Where,” according to the news account. On Tuesday, the formal graduation ceremony offered more music and celebration. “The salutatorian’s address was given by Louise Prime and the valedictorian’s address by Edith Cutting,” the newspaper reported. Cutting went on with her studies at the New York State College for Teachers at Albany. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Librarianship there in 1938 and in 1941 started work at Cornell University on her Master’s Degree, which she received in the summer of 1945. Her formal published works began with 100 pages she submitted during undergraduate school to her professor Harold Thompson. Fifty years later, Edith remembered that assignment earning her the first A+ she received in college. Prof. Thompson cites her significant contribution in the book Body, Boots & Britches: Folktales, Ballads and Speech from Country New York. It was first published in 1939 by J.B. Lippencott. “Miss Edith Cutting of that ‘up-histed’ (Adirondack) land brought me more than a hundred typed pages of ballads and other songs, tall tales, legends, proverbs, weather-rhymes, beliefs in the supernatural, games, retorts, and assorted lore of the lumberjacks,” Thompson wrote. “Her grandfather, her father, and a number of uncles have all worked in the ‘wildwoods.’ A grandmother’s uncle was a whaler who left to the family a fascinating log, a model ship, and some ‘pints’ about the weather. ... One greatgrandfather was the Adirondack guide who built the first road around the Cascade lakes; that pioneer’s son, Grandfather White, was also a guide.”

IN HER OWN WORDS In sorting through papers at Edith Cutting’s Neighborhood House residence, her nephew Allan Clark found a few paragraphs of recent writing, holding memories she talks about often these days. “I would say it was written sometime in the first couple of years she was at the Neighborhood House. It was something she talked about many times,” Clark said in an interview with the Sun. “It may be one of the last pieces of writing she did. The title is mine.”
Reminiscing
By Edith Cutting “Our life changes as we grow older. We remember things we used to do and places we used to go. Think of the Jack in the Beanstalk that we used to climb, and the rock we used to stand on to reach the mailbox hoping there’d be a letter from Aunt Dora or Aunt Jennie, whose lives seemed so different from ours.
A photo of Edith Cutting at the family farm, taken circa 1995 when she was honored by Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY) with a North Country Heritage Award. A radio interview done at the time reflects on her life and writing. Photo/Traditional Arts in Upstate New York Aunt Jennie was a nurse in World War one – so different from our farm and barn and Aunt Dora raised pigs and taught them to lie down and roll over like dogs. I remember the big rocks we used to climb up, and the ledges where we went for picnics with each one of us having his lunch Mother had made for him. After we ate,
The stories and lore came from Edith’s home on a hillside farm halfway between Lewis and Elizabethtown. The road today is called the Cutting Road. Cutting marked all her early years on those acres with three siblings, one older sister, Eleanor; one brother, Norman; and the youngest sister, Esther. Her father, Leon, was a farmer by profession and “spent his entire life tilling the soil,” old newspapers suggest. He also spent over 20 years as a gardener and caretaker at the Deer’s Head Inn. It was the family and their farm and neighbors that provided tales for her first book: Lore of an Adirondack County, published first in 1944 by Cornell University Press and again in 1972 by Denton Publications. Cutting published another collection of folklore, Whistling Girls and Jumping Sheep, in 1951, in cooperation with the New York Folklore Society. Later works included several novels, among them a fiction
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
KEENE VALLEY | Around 20 members of the Cutting family joined together to celebrate the 100th birthday of Edith Cutting. On the second floor of the Neighborhood House in Keene Valley, Cutting was greeted by friends family and more, surrounded by live music, 100 cupcakes and a giant cake celebrating her century of life. While Cutting’s cognitive skills are not what they used to be, Cutting still smiled at the sight of family and when the live entertainment played music. Cutting leaned forward, smile on her face, when the cake was presented. At the coaxing of family, she leaned forward to blow out the candles — with help — watching as the candle re-ignited. “That must be a trick candle,” someone exclaimed.

for young readers based in Keene called “A Quilt for Bermuda,” published by Scholastic Book Services in 1978. Cutting never married but traveled extensively with family and friends, according to her nephew Allan Clark, of Moriah, former school principal there. Clark is the son of Edith’s older sister Eleanor (Mrs. Ira Clark). He provides guardianship for his aunt and visits her often. She spent a career teaching English, first in Ellenberg Depot then for many years in Johnson City schools, he said. The town is located near Binghamton. But Cutting returned home often. “She would drive up for the holidays and would observe the kids and then write stories about them,” he reminisced. “She loved to do that.” While Lore of an Adirondack County was her first major work, Clark said there are many stories, poetry and writings held by family. “She wrote for Scholastic Magazine, the children’s publications used in classrooms. And she would also write the questions. She wrote a lot of them.” Clark’s mother Eleanor also published a book of Adirondack lore: Memories on and Adirondack Farm, based on raising a family in AuSable Forks. “No, the gift for writing didn’t rub off on us,” Clark said of the many cousins with a chuckle. But the farm did. “My grandfather was on the farm until he died. The farm stayed in the family until not too long ago, it was sold after Evelyn (Edith’s sister-in-law) died.” It was an old-fashioned farm, Clark said, with a small dairy herd and springtime maple sugaring operation, some chickens and gardens. The family moved Cutting to the Neighborhood House from Johnson City, he said, about five years ago to be closer to family. Cutting is an aunt to Essex County Sheriff Richard B. Cutting, a son of her brother, Norman. ■
Family and friends came together March 30 to celebrate Edith Cutting’s 100th birthday at the Neighborhood House in Keene Valley. Nephew Richard Cutting said it was nice to see everyone come together to
we polished the pie plates with leaves and used them for sleds to slide down the rocks. I wonder if the family who bought the farm will enjoy it as we did, growing up – climbing the Jack in the Beanstalk twice, climbing the ladder in the haymow, feeding the calves, pushing hay down from the haymow to feed the horses.” ■

‘Yards for Yeardley’ run scheduled Run to raise awareness for domestic violence
SARANAC LAKE | North Country Community College (NCCC) and Planned Parenthood’s Sexual Assault Services aim to raise awareness of relationship violence and abuse with a community run on campus this weekend. The “Yards for Yeardley” 5K Community Run is scheduled for April 8 in Saranac Lake. Colleges and university teams across the
country, including more than 30 in New York state, are participating this year by hosting a variety of events. Since the start of the foundation, thousands of people have joined together to run, walk or bike over 500 million yards. “Our goal is to raise awareness about relationship abuse,” said Kent Egglefield, NCCC’s head women’s lacrosse and soccer coach. “As a coach of two women’s teams, I want to do anything I can to help our student-athletes learn about the warning signs of unhealthy or dangerous relationships. I’m also the parent of two daughters, so this really hits home for me. The 5K will begin at 10 a.m. by the en-
trance to the college’s soccer and lacrosse field, then follow Payeville Road out to McKenzie Pond Road, Pine Street and Forest Hill Avenue, circling Moody Pond and returning to campus via the same route. The event costs $5 to participate, with all funds going to Planned Parenthood’s Sexual Assault Services. Each runner’s bib number will be their entry into a grand prize drawing for two owner’s box tickets to a New York Jets game. Raffle tickets will also be sold for a long list of other exciting prizes, including hotel stays, spa treatments and gift certificates to local restaurants.
ECH Community Health Fair upcoming Local organizations to promote World Health Day
ELIZABETHTOWN | Elizabethtown Community Hospital and other local organizations will join forces for this weekend’s Community Health Fair. The event, held in celebration of World Heath Day, will take place at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School on April 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will feature a number of local and regional organizations coming together to share information about the various resources available in local communities, including hospitals, programs that promote healthy living and lifestyle, various county organizations, organiza-
tions that assist in times of struggle and educational institutions. There will be family-friendly activities, car seat checks, safety information and more. “There is so much more to community wellness than simply health care,” event organizer Amanda Whisher, primary care quality specialist at ECH. “It’s important for all organizations that work toward physical health, mental health, positive family structure and financial well-being to be brought together in one location. “I think that community members will be surprised when they learn about all the various resources that are available to assist, regardless of their particular situation.” Participating organizations include Essex County Public Health, Adirondack Health Institute, Hospice, Kinney Drugs, Stop Smoking Cessation Program, Essex County Sheriff’s
Office, local colleges and universities, Office for the Aging, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Champlain Valley Senior Community, Adirondack Community Action Program, local banks, and insurance companies. “The health of any community is influenced by many things including physical health, emotional health, food security, family connections and structure, financial well-being, recreational opportunities and safety,” said Heather Reynolds, director of quality at ECH. “This health fair will help to showcase all that our local community has to offer, while encouraging our local residents to take advantage of the resources available locally — whether it be a physician office, farmer’s market, or a recreational trail — the benefit of each of those things may be different, but they are equally as important to our overall well-being.” ■

“We’re also doing a superhero theme, encouraging people to dress in their favorite superhero costumes,” Egglefield said. “We hope that will attract even more people.” To register for the 5k in advance, visit nccc. prestosports.com, click on the information tab and go to Yards for Yeardley Registration. Race day registration is also allowed. Yards for Yeardley was created by the One Love Foundation and named for University of Virginia women’s lacrosse player Yeardley Love, who was beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend just weeks before their graduation in May 2010. ■

Skaters from around the nation, world come to relive 1980 Miracle on Ice Camp held for 4th year By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER
LAKE PLACID | Over the past week, prayers from across the globe came together in the Adirondack hills to celebrate the sport of hockey and relive “the miracle” with those who made it happen. The fourth annual Miracle On Ice Fantasy Camp was held March 25-29, with 65 campers and 15 members from the 1980 United States
Olympic Hockey team who defeated Russia 4-3 in what is known as “the Miracle on Ice.” “I found out I was coming about two weeks ago,” said Kevin Norwood of Massachusetts, who said his playing career was high school and “beer league.” “I have a friend who is a stakeholder in USA hockey who had got the ticket and could not make it. Everything that is being done here is top-notch,” he added. John Coruthers from Lodi, Calif., came with friends who were part of the 45 returning campers. “The 1980 players are so humble and it gives us a thrill just to be on the ice with them.”

Coruthers, who now runs a “old-timers league” in neighboring Stockton, said he had a unique take on how the world saw USA hockey after 1980. “I played in Finland and Russia starting in 1981,” he said. “They would let me know just how much they remembered what happened in ‘80.” Along with players from across the nation, Jon Lundin of ORDA said there were a pair of international female players. “We have a lady who is here from Slovenia and another here from South Africa,” Lundin said. “This has become a national

and international event as much as it is a regional event.” Among those in attendance from the 1980 team was Dave Christian. “This place always has a special feel when you take the ice,” Christian said. “I have so many memories here, and new ones come back each time I come here and start to feel the vibe.” Christian said he believed the camp was equally as fun for the campers as it was the members of the miracle team. “We draw inspiration from them,” Christian said. ■

The investigation revealed the alarming comments were posted on a fictitious Instagram page, created in the name of an uninvolved individual.

Savage said the school would keep the community advised of any situations that may arise. “Should we ever have a concern about student safety our intention is to send families communication as appropriate and warranted,” he said. “Safety is our number one priority and we take precautions each day to support the safety of every student.” Recently, in accordance with the updated District Safety Initiatives, the district has entered into an agreement with the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department for a full-time Law Enforcement School Resource Officer (SRO). ■
SCHOOL RESPONSE
AVCS Superintendent Paul Savage thanked the police for their investigation. “The District has been working closely with the New York State Police for the past month and have been informed by the lead investigator that they have arrested an individual believed to be responsible for creating the fictitious social media account that falsely implicated a student and that criminal charges are

Patriots looking to come together By Keith Lobdell

SPORTS EDITOR
AU SABLE FORKS| The Patriot varsity baseball team has a near perfect mix of experience and newcomers to start the 2018 season, and coach Randy Douglas said they are working hard to come together. “I think our biggest strength right now
181205
is the ability of the older players ability to work with the younger players and they are already a pretty close group.” Douglas said the goals for the season are to stay healthy with a roster with limited numbers and get the younger players prepared for the varsity experience. “Five of our players are jumping from the modified level straight to
the varsity level,” Douglas said. Returning to the Patriots are 2016 all star and senior Dalton McDonald, junior Connor Devins, sophomore Troy McDonald, sophomore Evan Snow and sophomore Dylan LeClerc. Newcomers include junior Matthew Pray along with freshmen Eli Snow, Spencer Daby, Kaleb Walton, Mason Dubay and Rowen Dulka. ■
Experienced team key for Lady Pats By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
CLINTONVILLE | The AuSable Valley softball team will return plenty of experience to the diamond this season as they seek to return to the Class C championship game. “We only lost two seniors last year, Kendra Christiansen and Kourtney Keenan,” coach Neil Bowlen said. “Hannah Rondeau will be at shortstop, Ashley Hart is moving from second to third base, Taylor Matilla will be at first base, Dru
Gravelle in center field, Danielle Dubay in right field, Emma Prentiss will move to catcher and Elliana Bowlen returns as our starting pitcher.” Bowlen said other position players will include freshman Hailey Tender at second base, freshman Sophie Rennie and freshman Reanna Prentiss, who will get the nod in left field. “We have a nice mix of speed and power and all of the girls run the bases well,” Bowlen said. “Hailey Tender and Reanna Prentiss can flat out fly, so we look to get the speed merchants on base and then have the big bats drive
Dru Gravelle them in. Sophie Rennie got some varsity experience as an eighth grader and handled the pressure of post season like a veteran.” Bowlen is assisted by coaches Jill O’Connell and Alexis Megliore. ■

Distance events key for Patriots
Added depth could be key for Lady Pats By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
CLINTONVILLE | The AuSable Valley girls varsity track and field team will enter the 2018 season with a strong number of athletes who will add depth to a team that has been in need of players. “We have done a decent job of recruiting,” said coach Sean Ganter. “We should be able to complete all event areas in the meets, giving us a good chance to be competitive. We don’t anticipate any big weaknesses.” Ganter said key for the team will be the middle and long distances on the track as Lily Potthast, who qualified for the state indoor meet and broke several school records, will lead the crew along with Hailey Christiansen and Olivia Hetfield, who are both past state meet qualifiers and school record holders.

Hailey Christensen
“Christiansen is also an accomplished high jumper,” Ganter said. In other events, Anna Pridell will lead the sprinters and long jumpers, while Jenna Stanley and Dakota Tender are newcomers that should contribute in the sprints, jumps and hurdles. “We are excited for the possibilities,” Ganter said. “Our leadership is strong, with many seniors such as Jillian Bacon and Paolina Emerson that take responsibility for setting a proper example for our younger athletes.” Members of the roster include Jillian Bacon, Celia Boyce, Hailey Christiansen, Mackenzie Eckhardt, Paolina Emerson, Rebecca Ford, Kiley Giddings, Maggie Hayes, Olivia Hetfield, Sophia Janisse, Marlena Malskis, Kassidy Matott, Zena O’Leary-Cumber, Lily Potthast, Anna Pridell, Jenna Stanley and Dakota Tender. ■
CLINTONVILLE | The AuSable Valley boy’s varsity track and field team will have key experience as it enters the new season, most notably in the distance runs. “The core strength of the 2018 team will be in the distance crew that will be lead by Zach Lawrence and Matt Russom,” coach Heith Ford said. “We have also brought in a very talented leader in Chance LaPier in sprints. We are looking for steady team and personal improvement throughout the season.” While the preseason has been hampered by a pair of winter storms that brought snow to the North Country, making some events hold on certain training aspects, Ford be-
lieves the team will be ready for the season. “A successful season is making a good showing at sectionals and in the dual meets,” he said. “We have the tools to surprise a few people.” Ford added Tyler Light will head up the team in the middle distances, while throws will be lead by Desmond Fout with help from Bailey Haner. Members of the Patriots track and field team include Kyler Besaw, Aidan Bell, Kilian Croghan, Jay Coulombe, Jack Finnegan, Tomas Ford, Desmond Fout, Bailey Haner, Nick Helmer, David Janisse, Donald King, Chance LaPier, Zachary Lawrence, Tyler Light, Will McDonough, Zane Moussa, Damien Murphy, Michael Purtell, Travis Rivers, Matthew Russom, Riley Smith, Aidan Tallman and AJ Whalley. ■

Senior-laden Senior-laden Keene Keene squad squad seeks seeks sectional sectional title ti By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
KEENE VALLEY | The Beaver varsity baseball team knows this is the time if they are going to make a deep sectional and state run. “The core strength this year is that we have a heavy senior class with a lot of players who will contribute,” head coach Matthew Mills said. “The team goal is to compete every day and have a chance at a league/sectional championship.” Mills said a key for the preseason will be building up the pitching arms on the mound, getting reps in the cage and defensively, along with putting
Damian Brown
in the hard work needed to make it through a compact spring season. Mills said the key players to help the Beavers reach their goal of the Class D title include senior pitcher Damian Brown, senior pitcher and infielder Lucas Isham, senior pitcher and infielder Josh Baldwin, senior catcher Az Finsterer, senior pitcher and infielder Kaleb Cook, and the rest of the senior class including Oni Finsterer (outfield), Tom Palen (utility), Miles Warner (DH, OF and pitcher), Noah Haverlick (Utility), Patrick Thompson (outfield) and Gabriel Belisario (outfield). Overall, the senior class makes up 11 of the 15 members of the roster. The roster is rounded out by junior outfielders Skyler Coffin and Jacob Ostos, sophomore utility player Hunter Buysse and sophomore pitcher and infielder Emrys Ellis. ■

Warriors golf loaded with experience By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
WILLSBORO | With several golfers who have seen experience in the six player lineup, the Warriors varsity golf team will return that experience throughout the roster. “This year, we have more experience than in some previous years so that should be a strength,” said coach John Oliver. “Our goal this year is to have a better showing in sectionals and have more of our players qualify for the second day. With the depth, all players are key to a successful season. Each will need to do well in their match so the team does well. That being said, as long as the members of the team improve and have fun, we will call it a good year.” The team is led by state qualifier Paul Fine-Lease, and includes Warren Jackson, Oliver Lee, Trevor Bigelow, Jared Joslyn, Jared Ball, Caleb King, Regan Arnold, Finn Walker, Justin Joslyn, Avery Lee, Kayden Reynolds and Logan Jaquish. ■

Returning golfers key for Eagles
Lawrence Lobdell WESTPORT | The Eagles varsity golf team will go as far as the returning players will take them into the 2018 season.
By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
“We have a couple of returning players hoping to improve their game,” said coach Brad Rascoe. “We need to become complete golfers; to know
and understand the rules as well as the etiquette and to develop one good shot that is consistent for them.” Rascoe said the team is waiting to get their cuts in on the golf course instead of inside and hope to do it before the first match. The biggest contributions in the lineup will have to come out of the “Blake Squared” duo, with sophomores Lawrence (Blake) Lobdell and Blake Liberi at the top of the card. “Blake and Lawrence have a lot on their shoulders this year,” said Rascoe. “They are the only ones who have seen a lot of match play.” Sophomore Abe Staats also returns, along with freshman Odin Kohler. Odin’s younger siblings, eighth grader Magnus Kohler and seventh grader Ailsa Kohler, round out the roster. “Having all the kids take away a fun season where they may have gained an enthusiasm toward a lifetime activity will make for a good season,” Rascoe said. ■

WESTPORT | The combined track team known as the Emus is bringing athletes from throughout Moriah, Westport, Elizabethtown-Lewis and Keene together to improve their running skills not only for the track and field season, but for other sports they compete in. “Our strength is that we have a lot of soccer and bas-

ketball players who came out for track to improve their endurance, coordination and speed,” coach Luis Garnica said. “Early in the season, we have been working on running form. Having the correct running form helps you run faster while using less energy. That can pay huge dividends in the fourth quarter or second half.” Garnica said the skills athletes are learning can help them when it comes to the other two sports seasons. “Developing solid starting skills helps build explosiveness,” he said. “Th at can add inches to your vertical, help with acceleration off the line and acceleration while running. You’ll reach top speed sooner – hopefully sooner than your competition.” Garnica said the team is looking for athletes to run hurdles and participate in field events. “We are simply trying to improve our speed and endurance each week while running with our friends,” Garnica said. The girl’s roster includes Moriah athletes Stephania Zelinski, Makayla Stockwell, Emily Defelice, Sophia McKiernan, Morgan Baker, Juliet Baker, Sydney Langey, Madeline Cochran, Alley Harris, Desiree Demar, Dava Marcil, Ally Bosarge, Kennady Allen; Westport athletes LeAnna Costin, Thea Shaw, Madi Liberi, Maggie Ploufe, Annette Stephens, Taylor Gough, Kassidy Brack, Sydney Bisselle: and Keene athletes Elly Smith, CorrieAnne Stoner, Lura

Griffins look to compete in deep Class D By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
WESTPORT | The Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins baseball team looks to be competitive with a solid core of returning starters and a newfound depth on the roster. “We have 16 players on our team this year with nine returning from last year, five of which were starters, including second team all-star Brock Reynolds,” coach Don Markwica said. “We are looking to our seniors for leadership and they are not disappointing us. They are striving to get the best out of themselves and the other players. Everyone is working hard and pushing themselves in practice and we are seeing improvement each day.” On the mound, the Griffins will have some
options with seniors Carter Smith, Mike Dedam, Carson Blades, Dominic Thompson, Trey McLean and Craig Cumber; along with junior Will Napper and sophomore Brayden Drew. Junior Cody Roy will be a utility player for the Griffi ns, while the outfield rotation will include juniors Edward Nesbitt, Keegan Sewell and Tyler Monty; sophomores Cameron Drake and Terry Boyle and freshman Gavin Burdo. “ We need to play fundamentally sound baseball,” said Markwica. “We started doing that the last five games last year and we saw huge results. We will strive to improve individually and as a team each day and play good fundamental baseball.” Markwica is assisted by John Doyle. ■

Red Storm Lax returns 10 By Keith Lobdell
SARANAC LAKE| The Red Storm varsity boy’s lacrosse team will return 10 seniors for the upcoming season, and hope the weather will change soon so they can get onto the field and work towards a sectional title. “We are stuck in the gym all preseason,” coach Dermott Morgan said. “Utilizing reps in practice is key to being ready to transition to outdoors is key because we want to win the sectional championship. We feel this is the year we can compete for a title having only lost two seniors to graduation.” Key players for the season include Ward Walton (2017 first team all league section), DJ Morgan (2017 second team
all league), Emery Swanson (led the team with 35 goals), Jarret Ashton, Brett Ashton, Ethan Paye (three year starter), Bruno Freeman (two year starter), Matt White (two year starter) and Brian Sullivan (three year starter). Members of the Red Storm lacrosse roster include freshmen Sam Donaldson and Riley Deangelo; sophomores Jacob Adams, Dylan Amell, Gunnar Anthony, Remi Borden, Logan Brown, Carter Gagnon and Dylan Murnane; juniors Rylan Christy, Nick Courtney, Bruno Freeman, Brandon Miner, Austin Reyell, Jacob Shipman and Matt White; and seniors Jarrett Ashton, Emmett Bevilacqua, Brett Dawson, Hunter Lahart, DJ Morgan, Ethan Paye, Bryan Sullivan, Emery Swanson, Ward Walton and Nick Woodard. ■ PICTURED: Emery Swanson
Talent abounds for Red Storm By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
SARANAC LAKE | A roster of former sectional champions along with strong athletes gives hope to the staff of the Saranac Lake varsity boy’s track and field team for a new season. “Our goals are pretty simple each year,” head coach Cy Ellsworth said. “We want to be our best at the end of the season for sectionals and state qualifiers. Currently, it is a battle with the weather. We have not been on the track yet or in the jumping pits or throwing circles. A successful season to me means that our student athletes have enjoyed the season, they have improved and we have sent several of our athletes to the state meet.”
Ellsworth said there are several athletes he will look to in order to provide leadership this season. “I think our entire distance group led by Tyler Martin, Anderson Gray, Micah McCulley, Lauchlan Cheyney-Seymour and the Fogarty boys,” Ellsworth said. ”Patrick Wamsganz is a real good athlete who jumps well and runs well. Patrick Alberga is a hybrid athlete who can hurdle, jump, throw and run. Sean Lincoln was throwing in the mid-tohigh 40’s in the shot at the end of last season and Jon Hewitt threw over 130 in the discus last year. Dzihad Cecunjanin cleared 5’10” last year in the high jump and represented Section VII at the state meet.” Members of the Red Storm roster include Patrick Alberga, Jarrett Ashton, Sam Branch,

Blue Bombers eye sectional title By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
LAKE PLACID | The Blue Bombers varsity baseball team does not want to leave their time in Class D empty handed as they seek to end their run with a sectional title. “We hope to compete for the Class D title, and strength and conditioning, along with developing arm strength that lasts through our two-week spring break, will be key,” said coach Brian Brandes. Brandes added pitching will be a strength for the
Blue Bombers this season, as Colin Hayes, Jesse Izzo, Scott Sharlow and Jake Coursen will be key contributors on the mound. Brandes said another key to the season will be a winning or level record in CVAC play. The roster includes seniors Logan Brown and Colin Hayes; juniors Colin Brandes, Jake Coursen, Jarrett Hathaway, Jesse Izzo, Colden Lawrence, Noah Marshall, Gage Perry, Duncan Segger and Scott Sharlow; sophomore Tyler Hinkley and freshman Matthew Brandes. Brandes is assisted by Ron Rossi. ■

Lake Placid ready to repeat By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
LAKE PLACID | The defending Section VII champions will return four players as they look to repeat in 2018. “We return four of our top eight players from last year led by Drew Maiorca (captain) and Lars Kroes,” said coach John Glinski.
“Hunter Wilmot and Noah Tavares have match experience and will be in the top six. After that, I am not sure — hopefully we will get outside soon. We will be looking to defend our CVAC and Sectional titles this year.” Maiorca and Lars Kroes could be potential players who can claim the individual section title, won last year by
graduate Bjorn Kroes.
Members of the roster include Brendan Bullock, Chris Byrne, Jackson Deeney, Drew Ferebee, Tanner Foley, Cole Jacques, Lars Kroes, Drew Maiorca, Thatcher Nicholson, Dustin Patterson, Connor Reid, Jackson Smith, Noah Tavares, Brady Trembley, Hunter Wilmot and Alex Wright. ■

Blue Bombers seek personal bests on track, field By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
LAKE PLACID | The Lake Placid varsity boy’s and girl’s track and field team will look to improve their times and distances throughout the new season. “The core strength is a strong list of seniors, both boys and girls, that have proven to be leaders of the teams,” said coach Mel Frazer. “This helps to motivate the new athletes in preparing for the upcoming season. The boy’s team has depth in all areas on the track and on the field. They will be competitive even against the larger schools.” Frazer said the goal for the boy’s team is to claim the CVAC title, while both teams will look to improve on their personal bests and will be anchored by string relay teams. The key to the season, with all teams, will be the ability to get onto the track. “It will be important for the snow to melt
so we can practice on the track,” said Frazer. “It is a long preseason off the track, so athletes need to remain motivated and injury free. Our two week spring break hurts the athletes that do not train for the entire two weeks.” The teams will look to leadership from the likes of the Flanigan brothers (distance), the Novick brothers (throwing/hurdles), the Grady brothers (sprinting/jumping), Colin Bentley (sprinting/throwing), Justin Briggs (throwing), Kai Frantz (distance), Joose Kahkonen (sprinting/middle distance/jumping), Tim Kelleher (distance), Van Ledger (distance), Scotty Schultz (middle and distance) and Mikey Skutt (distance) on the boys side, along with Graci Daby (sprinting/jumping), Lily Flanigan (distance), Bea Hollander (sprinting), Olivia Sawyer (throwing) and the RoseMcCandlish sisters (distance). “In addition, it is exciting to see the new talent we have,” Frazer said. “It is difficult to say any of the new athletes will be key since we have not seen them perform in a
meet yet. However, their speed, strength and endurance makes us believe they will have competitive performances.” Members of the Blue Bombers boy’s roster include Colin Bentley, Evan Brenner, Justin Briggs, John Brownell, Brenson Craig, Stetson Craig, Darren Elling, Luke Favata, James Flanigan, Max Flanigan, Kai Frantz, Zach Gavin, Carter Grady, Cooper Grady, Quin’Ce Green, Cooper Holmes, Joose Kahkonen, Tim Kelleher, Jack Lawrence, Van Ledger, Patrick Manning, Carter Morey, Jacob Novick, Justin Novick, Scotty Schulz, Mikey Skutt and Hunter Spotts. Members of the Lady Blue Bombers roster include Dylan Bashaw, Meghan Byrne, Graci Daby, Lily Flanigan, Alexa Harper, Bea Hollander, Deidra Kellerman, Lindsey Rath, Annie Rose-McCandlish, Sara Rose-McCandlish, Olivia Sawyer and Jasmine Zhang. Frazer is joined by Bill Frazer as the heads of the coaching staff. ■
