Lawmakers debate Frontier Town safety risks As former wild west theme park continues to deteriorate, lawmakers authorize measures to discourage trespassing By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers are taking steps to cordon off Frontier Town, which lawmakers say presents a public safety hazard. On Monday, the Essex County Board of Supervisors resolved to have the county’s code enforcement officer inspect the property, post signs and barricades and get a cost esti-

mate for asbestos removal for the numerous buildings on the sprawling parcel. Supervisor Ron Moore (R-North Hudson) prodded the board into taking action, calling many of the structures a public safety risk. The lawmaker also cited reports of trespassing. “It’s definitely an accident waiting to happen,” Moore said of the former restaurant. “We can continue to ignore it as we have, or we can do something about it.” Citing the dilapidated nature of one of the on-site motels — including broken windows and “bashed in” doors — Moore said the buildings may have been saved if the county had been more proactive stewards. “What might have been restored is probably not possible

Westport resident Tim McGarry takes all-natural approach to beekeeping
WADHAMS — From a distance, the scene looked chaotic. The man would remove a wooden frame from a box, subject it to a puff of smoke and inspect it before gingerly placing it into another box. He did so again and again. Pete Bees were everywhere. Thousands of DeMola Writer them. Tim McGarry has been beekeeping since 1981, right before a one-two punch shook the industry. First came the tracheal mite in the mid-1980s, then the varroa destructor in the 1990s — parasites, both, that wiped out entire colonies and presented what McGarry said was the most existential threat honeybees had ever faced, especially in the cold weather climates where bees winter. “I’ve experienced severe losses myself,” he said. For the past six years, McGarry has been cultivating colonies naturally, without the use of treatment — namely the use of pesticides to zap the parasites (which eventually developed a resistance). “You’re breeding smart mites but not selecting the best
now,” Moore said. “I would think after this many years, something should be done to protect the assets, whatever they may be.” Essex County owns much of the former theme park. At present, the property is not slated to be included in the next tax auction, which is tentatively scheduled for this fall. Moore confirmed negotiations were underway with the state for possible use of the parcel as a gateway in an emerging trail network, some 40 miles that will cut through five towns in the central Adirondacks. Last month, the state purchased the 20,494-acre Boreas Ponds property from the Nature Conservancy, one of the final
bees,” McGarry said. Honeybees have a strong capacity to regenerate after being knocked out, he said. He’s now working with the strains with depleted numbers, repopulating them, one bee at a time. McGarry spent Saturday morning at his apiary in Wadhams, right before the road forks and opens out into scenic vistas dotted with farms. It’s a good place, he said, protected on one side from the elements by an old dairy barn, with a neighboring field providing plenty of sources for pollen. Beekeeping seems disorderly, but it’s not, McGarry said — The key is simply producing lots of bees.
LAKE PLACID — Actor and activist Danny Glover, Albany civil rights leader Alice Green and youth advocate Brother Yusuf Abdul-Wasi Burgess were honored with the first Spirit of John Brown Freedom Awards at a ceremony Saturday, May 7. The three recipients were recognized for their tireless work to achieve lasting change in the cause of justice-and speakers throughout the day took pains to point out that while John Brown, the famed abolitionist, is an historic figure, the struggle for liberation that he represented is ongoing. Glover, who is working on a film about John Brown, urged people to delve into the nation’s history to understand the legacy of racial and economic injustice we are plagued with even today. Glover said historic events such as the Bacon Rebellion, the Emancipation Proclamation, and Jim Crow laws, were direct precursors not just to the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, but the events that happened last year in places such as Ferguson, Mo. “You’ve got to connect these points to find out what’s happening just now,” said Glover. “What is happening and continues to happen.” About 250 people attended the event, which was organized

Community Paddling Program set for Lake Everest AsRA to begin paddle program this summer WILMINGTON — The Ausable River Association (AsRA) will be offering guided community paddling programs on Lake Everest this summer. The paddling program will introduce people to flatwater paddling skills and safety while also teaching them about the natural history of Lake Everest and the Ausable River. “We are excited to be offering these free summer paddling programs on Lake Everest. It’s a great opportunity to experience the beauty of this tremendous resource,” said Kelley Tucker, Executive Director of AsRA. AsRA’s Science and Stewardship Director, Brendan Wiltse will be leading the programs this summer and says they will draw attention to the Ausable Paddling Nature Trail on Lake Everest that the organization helped establish in 2010. “In-
terpretive nature trails are fairly common, but a paddling nature trail is much less so. This is a self-guided paddling nature trail that anyone can follow. There is a full color guide booklet in the kiosk at the boat launch on Lake Everest at the town beach,” said Wiltse. The full length of the trail is about two miles and includes seven stops along the way, with each stop discussing some aspect of the natural history of Lake Everest. The booklet includes hand-drawn illustrations of birds, plants, and other wildlife commonly found on Lake Everest. AsRA will be offering free, guided programs, on the paddling trail from July through September this summer. A Belay Grant awarded by Columbia Sportswear to AsRA, which will support the paddling program, riparian planting and watershed cleanup projects, has made this program possible. The
Mountaineer in Keene Valley is providing matching funds to support this program and the Town of Wilmington is offering free canoe and kayak rentals to participants. It is part of a renewed effort at the association to further engage the community in protecting the Ausable River watershed. During the paddling trips participants will learn about Lake Everest, the Ausable River, and the work AsRA is doing in the watershed. “Climate change, road salt, invasive species, undersized culverts, and bank erosion are just a few of the challenges the river is facing. Our goal is to spark a passion for the Ausable River and get people out enjoying it, but we also want people to walk away with an awareness of the threats facing the river, lakes, and watershed,” said Wiltse. Program dates and other information are available at ausableriver.org.
NALC, USPS partner to stamp out hunger this weekend Nation’s Largest One-Day Food Drive is May 14 WASHINGTON — The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), the U. S. Postal Service and other partners will join together Saturday, May 14, to help more than 48 million Americans, including one in five children, who face hunger every day. In addition to delivering mail, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America are conducting the nation’s largest one-day food drive. Nearly 1,500 local NALC branches in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands will collect donated non-perishable food items for distribution to local food banks and pantries. In addition to the NALC and Postal Service, other supporters of the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive include the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA); AFLCIO; United Food and Commercial Workers
Plattsburgh Housing Outlet
International Union (UFCW); United Way; Valpak and Valassis. “For over two decades, the Postal Service has joined the National Association of Letter Carriers and others to help Stamp Out Hunger in America,” said Postmaster General and CEO Megan J. Brennan. “As we come together to help feed America’s hungry, I encourage our customers across the country to support this vital one-day food drive. Working together, we will continue making a difference in the lives of millions of Americans in need.” Last year’s food drive resulted in over 71 million pounds of food collected by Postal Service carriers nationally, feeding an estimated 30 million people. The food drive’s timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.
How the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Works Leave a non-perishable food donation in a bag by the mailbox May 14, and the Postal Service carrier will do the rest. It’s that simple and millions of Americans will be helped. Learn more about the Stamp Out Hunger
Food Drive today. Capture the action on or before May 14, by sharing photos on Facebook and Twitter using the #StampOutHungerhashtag. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Headed for upstate NY, ‘American Pickers’ show seeks antiques, treasure troves & ‘characters’ By Thom Randall thom@suncommunitynews.com
SARANAC LAKE — The reality show American Pickers — which features Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz scouring the nation for antiques and collectibles — is returning to upstate New York this summer, and the show’s producers are now seeking out people with interesting items and large collections for potential episodes. Broadcast on the History Channel, American Pickers features Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz as they travel the back roads of the U.S. hunting for antiques, memorabilia and collectibles in people’s barns, garages, attics and sheds. Viewed by millions, the show blends anecdotes about Americana and antique collecting and history, as well as humor and hard bargaining as Wolfe and Fritz — friends since junior high school — cruise the nation’s byways hunting for relics. An American Pickers production assistant contacted Sun Community News this week, noting the show was looking for interesting local characters as well as artifacts. Wolfe and Fritz have particular interest in vintage bicycles, motorcycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, early firefighting equipment, vintage musical equipment, and automotive items — particularly large collections. One-of-a-kind vintage items are of special interest, the show’s representative said. Wolfe and Fritz are not interested in retail operations, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public. Upstate New York has been a favored treasure-hunting site for Wolfe and Fritz. Several years ago, the duo made some interesting discoveries at a sprawling treasure-laden farm with 14 trailers crammed with collectibles, and encountered a mother-daughter duo that sold their 1856 home, an Underground Railroad site, with all its contents.
The show has also filmed episodes at sites in the city of Amsterdam and the upstate villages of Tyrone, Little Falls, Livingston, Chatham and Cairo. People who have a large collection of unique or interesting relics — or know of someone who does — are urged to contact the show’s producers at americanpickers@ cineflix.com or call (855) 653-7878 and leave a message, detailing name, town, state, location of collection and description of artifacts. For an extensive list of preferred items sought, contact the editorial department at Sun Community News.

Bees
From page 1 And try not to get stung. McGarry cultivates colony divisions. Ideally, a queen will lay eggs in each comb, which will then be papered over by the worker bees. Hopefully, honeybees will eventually emerge and form a new “nuc,” or nucleus colony — a honeybee starter pack, so to speak, all chemical-free. Each frame has 1,200 sides. A healthy frame will see bees in just about every comb, very densely packed. Several frames can fit into each crate depending on the size. Room must be allotted for the colony to store incoming nectar. McGarry can use these to start new colonies for himself or other local beekeepers. He often sells queens when available

transactions in a series of additions to the state’s Forest Preserve. “They’re trying to assist us in making good use of that property,” Moore said. The property’s blighted buildings, some of which have been condemned, cannot be removed without first conducting a number of evaluations, Dan Palmer, the county manager, told lawmakers. Barring those examinations, the county must treat the entire building as if it is hazardous waste, he said. Lawmakers admitted it’s unlikely any of them will find interested buyers. “I went and looked at those buildings, and ain’t nobody going to give us anything for any of that,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Randy Preston (IWilmington). Palmer said progress on the site has been hamstrung because lawmakers have never authorized funds to clean up the site. “At this point, no money has been allocated by the board to do it,” Palmer said. Deputy Department of Public Works Superintendent Jim Dougan estimated it would cost $20,000 to erect a fence around the property. Lawmakers quickly said such a measure would be unnecessarily. In the end, the board tasked the code enforcement officer to post signs, barricades and again look into an estimate for possible asbestos removal. Supervisor Tom Scozzafava (R-Moriah) indicated he would be against allocating funds for clean-up. “I don’t want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a property that’s going to draw 30 or $40,000,” he said. In February, lawmakers authorized exploring demolition costs, but nothing came of the resolution.

— Russians, specifically bred. Honey is also produced under the Boquet Valley Farm banner. A good queen at the peak of a season can produce 1,000 eggs per day — that’s 1,000 honeybees, he added. “You can have an amazing amount of bees in a short amount of time.” McGarry moved frames from box to box as he constructed colonies. The opening of each crate was accompanied by a gentle tuft from the smoker. He pointed at a queen, larger than the others as she looked for an empty cell to deposit her eggs. The workers droned. Honeybees don’t want to sting, he said. And beekeepers can select gentle bees. But as he opened and inspected each box, he issued the smoke to reduce the alarm pheromones. Bees survive the winter by eating honey and clustering together to generate warmth. McGarry prepared 50 colonies for the winter, of which 39 made it through, wrapped loosely in roofing tarp. Eleven died, the frames were mostly empty upon inspection. Swarming, when the queen leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees, is a natural part of the life cycle. While keepers try to prevent it, their departure is not always possible. The main honey flow in this region is the monthlong stretch from early-June to early-July, with clover and basswood serving as the two top nectar sources. Dandelions provide an “incredible” source of nectar and pollen, McGarry said, and is the main source bees use in spring to build up their numbers. The end result is a light-colored honey. Not many folks do what McGarry does. There might be a guy in Crown Point, he reckoned, and others in Vermont and New Hampshire.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with honey made from treated bees, he said. But all-natural products simply have one less inorganic substance in them. Spring is the busiest time of year. The beekeeper feels confident his bees this year will have all the characteristics he’s been trying to cultivate for the past six years. McGarry’s progress will be bolstered by a grant from the Adirondack Council and the Klipper Fund that will allow him to purchase and modify equipment. Doing so will allow him to grow capacity by 20 percent, allowing him to bump his nucs from 50 to 60 per year. Even this particular day looked promising. “I’m going to wind up with some big colonies by the end of the day here,” McGarry said. Once you acquire bees, they’re your charges, he said.

America the angry
n the world in which we live today, opinions are no longer left at the water cooler, corner bar or on the front porch. The advent of the internet, social media and 24/7 talking heads have perpetuated a growing outlet for an opinionated public. Sadly, it would appear that giving voice to the masses has generated more anger versus providing a relief valve for us to just “get it off our chests.” In this enlightened age we all should have an opinion and the right to voice that opinion, there is no argument there. But then what? As a freedom loving people, how can we resolve these disagreements that are growing in our society? Disagreements that range from the simple to the extremely complex and from the most bizarre to the most deadly, a place where bodily harm is committed in the name of being right. I was always taught the truth was the easiest information to provide as it required nothing but the plain simple facts. It seems to me that we have mastered the ability to shape the truth to fit our purpose so well it then becomes the truth in the minds and hearts of those who crafted it. There in lies the biggest risk to the freedom we must share. We all want the truth, because in truth is fairness and reality. But when the truth is shaped for public consumption and is built around half truths and personal opinion that is where things go askew. Once people start accepting and arguing for the shaped version of the truth from an agenda driven perspective, we find ourselves completely lost without any sense of a compass that once always pointed true north. It is difficult for people who seek the truth to not be deceived when it is provided by a perceived trusted source. But exactly who can be trusted? Each of us needs to be less accepting of what we hear. Be more willing to respectfully question the source, while relying on the core values we’ve been given and good old basic common sense. When we only listen to those views that mirror our own we become less likely to be open minded and if we continue down this path as the trend seems to be forecasting, it’s difficult to see how the anger will lessen. Our search for the truth is what will keep our country strong. Openness, respect for our fellow citizen, fairness, equality to all and acceptance of differing views with a willingness to compromise must continue to be the basis for what we as a nation are all about. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

Hail to the chef: Cuisine trail promises to be tasty treat for tourism biz
T
he North Country has always been a fertile breeding ground for ideas. Not a week goes by where we don’t hear of another new committee, task force or grassroots organization formed to harness the undercurrent of energy crackling through the region. State and federal officials are quick to note the collaboration, hailing us for working together, for our grit and ambition that matches the mountains that characterize the landscape. Some ideas fizzle, others never achieve liftoff. Even fewer translate into organizations with sustained momentum. That’s why we’re so pumped about the effort underway by a group of Essex County stakeholders to form a regional cuisine trail. The idea is simple: Leverage our agricultural assets to attract tourism. The seeds were planted last year by a local civic booster. Following an initial meeting in January to ascertain public interest, the idea rapidly gained momentum. An organizational nucleus was formed. Benchmarks came quick. And word spread like wildfire. Progress was so swift, in fact, neighboring counties seized on the concept. Sign us up, they said. Talk about a grassroots idea. Now, four months after that initial meeting, proposed culinary trail routes are in the process of being mapped out in Clinton, Franklin and Essex counties. Once Albany approves, we have liftoff. There’s a lot to love about our local food culture: Dairy in Franklin County is second-to-none. Clinton County’s rich apple and maple industry is renowned for quality, while Essex County is home to a new generation of young farmers who are producing enough items to ply your breakfast, lunch and dinner tables with an ever-expanding array of homegrown items. This isn’t empty calories. Not only is the local food movement here to stay — the idea is no longer relegated to the realm of off-the-grid types — but gastro-tourism, too, is on the rise. Once an exotic idea limited to foreign shores, the concept is taking root right here in our backyard. Believe it or not, people will pay to experience what we have to offer. No other entity is quick to seize on the deep interest in local food production than the state, who has pumped resources into virtually every sector of the agricultural industry, from relaxing restrictions on domestic alcohol production to providing marketing opportunities for even the smallest food producer. Foodies traveling to the region isn’t just beneficial for farmers, brewers and vineyard owners, but also for the places where they will tucker in and loosen their belts at night. It’s beneficial for the businesses that may hold events to seize visitor interest — like cooking classes at local farm granges, for instance — and an asset for the retailers and service providers who will benefit from an entirely new cohort of visitors who wouldn’t otherwise visit the region. And it’s also a boost for our self esteem. A sense of collective pride is important.
In this business, cynicism comes easy. We’ve seen so many promising ideas limp along, left to languish and make wobbly orbits around the rubber chicken dinner circuit. But this seems different. It’s a testament to having an idea and following through. We’re reminded of a mantra that stemmed from another people-powered project, the Big Tupper Ski Area. “Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those doing it.” Kudos to the engines behind this movement. The only thing missing from the equation is a unifying regional food — something synonymous to New York’s North Country as the cheesesteak is to Philly. Or the deep dish pizza is to Chicago.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
COMMENTARY
AmbiguityÊ inÊ policy
UseÊ yourÊ voteÊ wisely
To the Editor: I understand the publisher can use his column as he sees fit. I also believe that the editors may write their opinion piece on any subject. I also feel that the paper has the right by ownership to charge a person, any person of any political party, a fee to speak about the good of their candidate. However, in all fairness, shouldn’t those who want to speak ill of someone’s candidate have to pay the same fees? I have for the past couple weeks read letters to the editor that have been written about the bad points of federal candidates of the two major parties. How about a policy that calls for no political letters on candidates or free it up for all. Win “Chief ” Belanger Willsboro
To the Editor: The political campaigns are zeroing in on conventions, nominations, and subsequent elections. Here is something to ponder as we get closer to the ultimate goal. Let’s travel back in time to 1929. The Great Depression spread havoc throughout the world. This economic disaster brought a giant like America to its knees and plagued many nations in varying degrees. Each affected nation sought ways to crawl from beneath the weight of this economic collapse. Fast forward to three years later, 1932. A political outsider known for his fiery speeches promised a renewal to greatness. He promised an economic and social Renaissance as he led this fringe political party (NSDAP). His rhetoric touched a large segment of society and he was voted into power in 1932. By 1933 many of his promises materialized into reality. By 1938 he was named Time Magazine’s “Man of the Year.” Enter Adolf Hitler elected by the people. Now in 2016 does America possess the same social, political, and economic issues that fanned the flames of extremism back in the 30’s. Maybe not all the issues exist in the same degree, but do some echo the fanatical speeches of another time and place? In conclusion, do I think America is headed down the identical path to the abyss? Absolutely not, but I sincerely hope that all American voters use the next six months to seriously think about their vote. It’s a powerful tool, use it wisely! Don’t squander it! We have an obligation to vote to enhance the beauty of freedom. Kenneth Sausa Lake Placid
CountyÊ needsÊ restructuring To the Editor: Recently, there have been discussions in Warren County on the possibility of changing how voters are represented at the county level of government. As to be expected, there has been significant resistance to the idea from many of the folks who currently represent us at the county. At first glance, the changes proposed would seem to result in a reduction of income for the dual role town supervisors and that voters from the smaller towns would lose influence and be overwhelmed by Queensbury and Glens Falls. I find the arguments concerning a loss of influence to be meritless. The proposals being put forward would divide the county into districts of equal population. In one very good proposal put forward to the board, the towns inside the Blue Line would get three of nine total legislators. In this proposal, all residents of Warren County would be equally represented and there would be none of the artificial false equality and political alchemy involved with the “weighted” voting system we have now. Town supervisors would still be able to make their views known to the legislators and speak at meetings. Also, town supervisor endorsements would be important in county elections. I think those opposed to these measures are overlooking the benefits we would all receive by having fulltime town supervisors not distracted by and out of office on county business. In keeping with a move to truly fulltime town supervisors, I would support changes in compensation to these officials that would bring their pay and benefits in line with and proportional to other full time elected officials in the towns. That would be money well spent. Please contact your town supervisors and voice your support for the initiatives modifying our county government to conform to the well-established American principles of good government.

WeÕ reÊ killingÊ LakeÊ Champlain To the Editor: What fascination, wonder and joy overtook me when I first met the bays of Lake Champlain in Essex as a young boy. Bluegills and chain pickerel would sun themselves quietly at the mouth of the Library Brook, at least until spooked by a curious boy! Bowfin, gar, pike, bullhead, and perhaps the oddest of all, the sea lamprey (I kept one as a pet for a day or two) were seen on rare occasions. Schools of baby perch stretched out as far as the eye could see. Huge schools of young smelt plied the open waters of the lake, drawing ample schools of perch to the surface to feed. A decent catch of either was common off Begg’s Point in both summer and winter. Than the state began its massive pesticide dumping program. Yes the sea lamprey died; the American eel did as well and is now gone. The chemical attack has squarely leveled the very base of the natural food web. Fish, such as the sturgeon will not return to dead river deltas. Sewage effluent now trickles into the Library Brook where I once waded in blissful hours of fascination. There’s gunk and oily slime there now. Blue green algae runs rampant during the warmer weeks of summer. Lake Champlain is a big system. It will take a lot of killing to kill it completely, but we’re doing pretty well. Go try and catch a perch off of Essex now, or anything else that wasn’t stocked; you will see what I mean.

ClintonÊ CountyÊ onÊ theÊ rightÊ trackÊ withÊ connectorÊ path To the Editor: Regarding the article “Village officials discuss proposed extension of recreation path” that appeared in the April 27, 2016 edition: I applaud the efforts of Clinton County to integrate a connector path behind the Rouses Point Civic Center. Doing so will give all local residents more opportunities to walk, connect with neighbors and climb and play outdoors. Clinton County is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, but it is often only tourists who get to enjoy it. Today, one-quarter of county residents report being physically inactive. Developing the path and installing a trail counter to measure residents’ use of it are creative ways to encourage a more active, healthy community. The work Clinton County is doing—listening to community members’ ideas and concerns, identifying existing resources to modify or build upon and measuring outcomes—should be a model for communities throughout the region and across New York State.

ResponseÊ toÊ MichaelÊ CalitriÊ Ô BombÊ TrainsÕ To the Editor: Michael Calitri wrote a letter chastising those who oppose “crude oil transport by trains,” urging them to do research “before they shoot the North Country in the foot.” Presumably he had in mind the letter sent by environmental groups and others calling for a ban on Bakken oil trains. (Although Mr. Calitri referred to “advocates” of crude oil transport, I assume he meant opponents.) I wish to point out that it is Mr. Calitri who should do more research because his letter contains major factual errors. I also wish to explain why environmentalists in New York and Vermont and citizens all along Lake Champlain and the Hudson River Valley are deeply frightened by and opposed to trains carrying Bakken crude oil from North Dakota. 1. The Bakken oil “bomb trains,” as many have labelled them, run from Montreal to Albany (some with over 100 tankers) as well as from Buffalo to Albany. And from Albany the oil is transported on barges down the Hudson River. It seems Mr. Calitri does not realize that this is no ordinary crude. It is highly flammable. Yes, the disaster in Lac Mégantic, Quebec was the result of a runaway Bakken oil train, as Mr. Calitri writes, but it was the volatility of the Bakken crude that resulted in a massive explosion, kiling 47 people and decimating a large part of the town. Mr. Caletri says “crude oil in itself is not explosive.” But Bakken crude is highly explosive. 2. Most of the Bakken oil is transported in tank cars known as DOT111s. No one has claimed these are civil war era tank cars, as Mr. Calitri alleges. Rather, as environmental groups point out, many bridges are of postCivil War era infrastructure. The tank cars, however, designed to carry liquids like corn syrup, not oil, are dangerously prone to puncture. As far back as 1991 the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), warned that “the DOT 111 tanker . . . is too thin to resist puncture during an accident, is vulnerable to tearing, and has exposed fittings and valves that can easily snap off during a rollover..” Informed environmentalists believe an accident in which these tankers would derail and spill the oil into Lake Champlain would be an environmental catastrophe—so great that no insurance company would cover this risk. 3. Mr. Calitri says that transport of crude by train is as safe as air travel. What evidence does he have for this assertion? There have been at least 13 derailments of Bakken oil trains in the last few years. And environmental groups have documented “more than 250 other oil carrying trains have derailed in the U.S. since 2013.” Many more are predicted. What New Yorkers get (as well as residents of others states through which the Bakken oil trains pass) is a dreadful risk to lives, towns, fishing, sailing, drinking water, wildlife and tourism. There is no gain for New York. Bakken oil does not stay in New York. It is shipped abroad where it will contribute further to climate change. 4. Mr. Calitri charges that opponents of oil trains have been uninformed, “quick to jump on the bandwagon” and have failed “to look to elected officials.” Not true. Very well informed are the 35 environmental groups in New York and Vermont, 30 elected and appointed officials & community leaders in both states, the Cities of Plattsburgh and Burlington, and a number of businesses who signed onto the letter to 4 Congresspersons and 4 Senators in New York and Vermont calling for a federal legislative ban on the transport of crude oil by train along Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. And they have looked to elected officials—national ones. Because the bomb trains run in interstate commerce the letter was addressed to our elected representatives to Congress. Local elected officials have no authority over them. Why would the cities of Plattsburgh and Burlington sign on to the letter if they could address the problem themselves? 5. Mr. Calitri mentions a list of other environmental dangers to Lake Champlain. Yes, and Vermont has launched a new Clean Water initiative to address many of them. With a derailment of Bakken oil trains, cleanup initiatives would be in vain. Monique Weston Keene
Little Bits A strange word or two Gordie Little
Columnist
T
hey say, if you can learn one new word every day, your life will be enhanced. I don’t think I’ve ever kept track, but I love words—old ones and new ones. Here’s one of my favorites: quockerwodger. I’ll give you a little time to chew it, swallow it and digest it. I dare you to try and use it in a proper sentence. Give up? I hadn’t seen it in print for years until my friend Julie Dowd dropped it on me. I hope she blushes appropriately when she sees it here. I’ll give you a hint: Pinocchio would know. One definition is, “A politician, one of whose strings of action are pulled by somebody else.” That would fit a number of politicians I have known through the years. Another definition is, “A wooden puppet controlled by a string.” From what I can determine, quockerwodger originally referred to a marionette operated by a single string attached to the head. It’s loosely-connected arms and legs trembled and wobbled and shook when manipulated. During the 1800’s, political writers adopted the term to define what they called “pseudo-politicians.” I’ve also seen it as quockwodger. The jury is out on the specific origin, but you can work on that yourself. The earliest published reference I could find was the middle 19th century. Some have called it a slang word, but I would lobby to insert it into my personal lexicon. Don’t be shocked to see me using it here every chance I can in the future. Say it aloud. Someone in the room with you is bound to think you have dribbled the last of your marbles away. Not me. I like the sound of it. If I were to walk up to some of today’s politicians and call them quockerwodgers to their faces, they might try to file slander lawsuits against me. Goodness knows there are lots of wooden marionettes in this year’s crop and lots of shady folks trying to hide behind the curtain and pull the strings. Please don’t misunderstand. I know many upstanding politicians, but I also eschew mentioning others who consistently sully the field. That makes me think of some more fun words that aren’t used much these days: blackguard, rapscallion and coxcomb come to mind at the moment. My late mother called me a rapscallion more than once. I earned it. I also like the word jollux, as it kind of describes the corpus I see in my mirror every day. Kaye and I often exchange a buss, which is a quick kiss. Our marriage vows and the Holy Bible said, “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” I like the word asunder as well. I will leave you scratching your head over another interesting and archaic word: quagswagging. Look it up in your Funk and Wagnall.

EYE ON THE ARTS
May Daze
A
s the days grow longer — the sun shining a little more — it seems there are a lot of folks not yet ready to believe that summer is on the way. And who can blame them? Though the winter was mild, it seemed to stretch on for weeks longer than expected, popping up again just when we thought it was over. However, I am not among the skeptics. I remain optimistic that the days ahead will be sunny and serene. I shed the May daze when I leave my winter coat at home. This week we have a variety of events taking place around the region. Each promises fun for skeptics and optimists alike. Take a look. The Lake Placid Center for the Arts will host Rhythmic Circus’ “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!” on May 14. Infusing their unpredictable blend of hard-hitting tap, high-spirited humor, and finger-snapping tunes, Rhythmic Circus satisfies their “rhythmic appetite” on everything from sand to folding chairs. Tapping their way from one musical genre to the next, this unforgettable show is guaranteed to leave audiences of all ages amazed. “We created �Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!’ out of the desire to get people back in touch with the spirit of celebration,” said cocreator Nick Bowman. “The name of our show comes from an old New Orleans chant dating back to the early 1900’s — a time when the city was rich with culture and spirit, they literally had parades every Sunday just to celebrate their lives and community.” The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets are available from the LPCA Box Office. For more information, call 518-523-2512 or visit lakeplacidarts.org. The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake will host the Sultans of String as part of their Second Saturday Concert Series on May 14. Canadian band Sultans of String has performed their unique blend of Spanish flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythm and gypsy jazz to audiences all over the world. Tickets are available online at adirondackarts.org, and cost $20 for non-members. The show begins at 7 p.m. Call 518-352-7715 for more information on the show and other upcoming events at the ALCA. The “Spring for the Arts” Golf Tournament to benefit the Lake George Arts Project will take place on May 14 at Cronin’s Golf Resort in Warrensburg. Entry costs $90 and includes lunch, golf and cart, a chicken BBQ dinner and prizes. For more information, or to register, call 518668-2616. The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls will open a new exhibit on May 15. “Christo & JeanneClaude: The Tom Golden Collection” features over 125 original drawings, sculptures, collages and photographs that trace the career of renowned artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude; capturing the versatility, longevity and international scope of the duo’s extensive career. Tom Golden’s personal and professional relationship with the artists began in 1974 during public hearings for Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s project “Running Fence.” This collection, one of the largest collections of art by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in the United States, represents not only the special relationship between an artist and a collector, but also the collaborative effort between the artists and the many people involved in producing the works. A special lecture about the exhibit is scheduled to precede the opening on May 14 at 3 p.m. In this lecture, Professor Jonathan Fineberg will examine why the work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude continues

to have such an enormous impact. Tickets for the pre-show lecture are $10. To RSVP, contact Colette at 518-792-1761 (ext. 310) or adminassist@hydecollection.org. The exhibit itself will be available for viewing during normal gallery hours until June 26. The ROTA Studio and Gallery in Plattsburgh will host another punk showcase on May 14. Bands to be featured in this show include Michigan natives The Vulnerable, Vermont’s Better Things, and local pop-punk group Nothing Good. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are set on a $3-10 sliding scale – attendees are encouraged to pay what they can afford. The show is all ages and substance-free. For more info, contact ROTA through their Facebook page. The Elizabethtown Social Center, in conjunction with North Wind Tours, will offer local theater enthusiasts a day trip to Proctors Theater. Attendees will travel from Elizabethtown to Schenectady to see the Broadway tour of “Once: the Musical.” Tickets are $143 per person and include transportation via deluxe motorcoach and dinner after the show. Pre-registration is required, space is very limited. For more info, contact Arin at 518-873-6408. Poets Vince Quatroche and Dan Berggren will perform at Saranac Lake’s BluSeed Studios on May 14. Quatroche and Berggren first crossed paths in 1978. After some coffee and a few stories, they continued on their separate ways — but chose to stay in touch. Many miles later, they’re still meeting for coffee and stories — sometimes in front of an audience. Together their musical stories and spoken word soundscapes explore shadows, echoes and promises, broken and kept. Quatroche and Berggen’s performance, titled “Real Poems from a Real Poet,” will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10. For more info, call 518-891-3799 or contact admin@bluseedstudios.org.

the Andrew Goodman Foundation and Champlain National Bank. North Country Public Radio (NCPR) was a media sponsor. John Brown Day is held annually to mark the birthday of Brown, who was born May 9, 1800. He is best known for the raid he led on the U.S. Arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, Va., in which he and his followers tried to confiscate weapons from the armory and use them in an effort to liberate slaves from the South. Brown, who was executed for treason, is buried at the farm alongside several followers who also fought in the raid.
From page 1
by Westport-based human rights and freedom education project John Brown Lives! It was held at the John Brown Farm State Historic Site. Speakers included David Goodman, brother of slain civil rights activist Andrew Goodman; Reuben Jackson, host of Vermont Public Radio’s Friday Night Jazz; and several others. The celebration also featured a performance by Magpie, a folk duo comprised of Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner. The award, which will be given annually, honors women and men whose work invokes the passion and conviction of the 19th-century abolitionist who dedicated his life to the cause of liberation. The award celebrates leaders and innovators in civil and human rights whose courage, creativity, and commitment are models for others to follow. Goodman, whose brother was killed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1964, spoke of the importance of defending the rights of citizens to vote and participate in government. “Certainly, states are using trickery and laws to deny certain citizens the right to vote,” said, Goodman. Education is needed “to make our experiment in democracy work now and into the future.” Many of the speakers decried the state’s corrections system, which they criticized for meting out harsh treatment of prisoners - many of whom are black or Hispanic. “The spirit of John Brown really keeps me going,” said Green, executive director of the Center for Law and Justice, an Albany-based civil rights organization she founded in 1985 that provides community education in civil and criminal justice, legal matters, community affairs, and civil rights and civil liberties. Green said she aimed to tap a “bit of the commitment and energy to drive me forward so I can make some kind of difference in getting rid of enslavement and racism in our country.” Brother Yusuf Abdul-Wasi Burgess, who served time in prison in the Adirondacks, discovered the area as a refuge later in his life, leading youth from Albany to connect students to the Black history of the Adirondacks and to nature. His Youth EdVenture and Nature Network led students on hikes, paddling trips, archaeological digs, climate change conferences, and other adventures. A John Brown Lives! board member, he died in 2014 at 64. Cherrie Burgess, his wife, accepted the award on his

behalf. “He loved this Adirondacks,” said Burgess. “This was his home.” Glover, an award-winning actor and activist, has been a dedicated champion of human rights, economic and social justice, climate change and the environment, and education and the arts. Currently a UNICEF Ambassador, Glover has also served as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program, focusing on issues of poverty, disease and economic development in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. “You can’t work as tirelessly in the trenches as long as he has if you are not motivated by great acts of love,” said Soffiyah Elijah, a longtime friend of Glover’s and executive director of the Correctional Association of New York. Green’s career includes stints as a teacher, a social worker and numerous activist roles. She has served in state government and as legislative director for the New York Civil Liberties Union. Green has received awards from the NAACP’s Albany chapter, Rockefeller College, the New York State Bar Association, among others. An adjunct professor at the University at Albany, she has also taught at Russell Sage and Siena colleges.
