Franklin County sheriff enters Assembly race

With Jones already declared, race to replace Duprey will be a Franklin County showdown

Couple brings passion for local food, craft beer to the North Country KEENE — Enter one of the town’s most iconic properties and you’ll find a markedly different display than the outfitting gear of days past: Craft beer and food.

Welcome to the Brew Castle.

Pete DeMola After years of dreaming, scrimping and Writer saving, owners Ben Chamberlain and Wendy Knight opened the location late last year.

The couple have always been interested in artisanal foods and the culinary biz.

Chamberlain, a craft beer aficionado, recounted pooling money with pals, taking long trips to Albany for beer pickups.

When the couple saw an opening to provide that service to local residents, they took it.

Located on Route 9 in the center of the hamlet, the business is primed to cater with locals with a hankering for hardto-find craft beer as well as adventurous visitors looking for provisions before or after a High Peaks excursion.

Beer is deeply entwined with the outdoors, said Knight.

Artisanal brewers are craftsman. Deeply connected with the land, they make a beverage out of an agricultural product.

It’s also nice to have a cold beverage made with care and attention, Knight said.

Or, as a customer deadpanned, “Hikers like beer.”

Visitors trickled through the store on a mild afternoon earlier this month. They browsed the accessories, the mix-a-six cooler and small-batch food items, including meats, cheeses and pickles that Knight and Chamberlain have carefully selected to pair with the hundreds of beers and ciders available.

Outside, a local food truck offered items as reggae offered a feel-good soundtrack.

MALONE — Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill announced Monday he will run for state assembly.

“I am seeking the 115th New York State Assembly seat currently held by Assemblywoman Janet Duprey,” Mulverhill said Monday in a news release.

Incumbent Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru) announced her retirement last week after six terms in office, citing health issues and a desire to spend more time with her family.

“A major reason for seeking the Assembly position is to continue with a career in public service to improve the lives of people living and working in our communities,” Mulverhill said.

Mulverhill cited job creation, the development of a “welfare to work” program, infrastructure development and tourism promotion as chief priorities.

“Our parents and grandparents worked with their hands,” Mulverhill said. “We have a workforce here that is willing to

Construction underway at Au Sable Forks Fire Department First phase of long-planned project will replace roof, heating system and address code issues

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

AU SABLE FORKS — Work is underway on the first phase of the Au Sable Forks Fire Department’s renovation project.

Passerby may notice the downtown building is wrapped in vinyl.

Last week, as the cold winter weather finally broke, workers began disassembling the roof to remove asbestos. Work is scheduled to be completed mid-week, with a roof replacement to follow.

Inside, department members hustled to rearrange office space.

The first phase in the long-planned project includes roof and electrical system repairs, code deficiency corrections and the installation of a new heating system, which will make the building more energy efficient.

Components include a propane-fired boil-

er system and the addition of three energyefficient heaters in several apparatus bays.

The project, which comes at no additional costs to taxpayers, has been a long time coming.

Last August, voters unanimously approved bonding up to $450,000 for the proposed three-phase effort.

Using specs from AES Northeast, three bids were returned. Plattsburgh-based firm Branon Construction won the contract with a base bid of $361,464.

An additional $25,000 for contingency bumped project costs to $386,464.

Those contingency funds will be used for a number of alternate projects, including door, apron and siding replacement and painting apparatus bays, said Au Sable Forks Fire Department Chairman Lou Garso, once department officials see how general construction shakes out.

At present, the department is hitting their scheduled benchmarks and the project is coming in under budget.

“We’re very happy with Branon,” Garso said. “They’ve been excellent to work with.”

Construction is now underway at the Au Sable Forks Fire Department, which is undergoing an ambitious federally-funded renovation project. Work on the first phase is scheduled to be completed by late-July.

The fire department, which is located in a former schoolhouse originally built in 1961, has outgrown its footprint.

The $450,000 bond, unanimously approved by voters last August, allowed the department to unlock federal grant money.

The department was required to kick in $50,000 to cover possible budget overruns.

It is just the first in a series of planned funding applications.

Additional project phases will tackle space issues, including storage for trucks, equipment and radio gear. Bathrooms will also be made handicap accessible.

Work on the first phase is scheduled to be completed by July 31, 2016.

Butcher shop raid reveals nearly two tons of illegal venison Alleged mastermind known as “The Deer Man” charged with numerous felonies

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

EDMESTON, OTSEGO COUNTY — In a scene that appears to confirm every backwoods stereotype imaginable, state officials busted a downstate operation for illegally selling two tons of venison at a local butcher shop.

Following a two-year investigation, state Department of Conservation officials executed a search warrant at a butcher shop called Farmers Place, where they found more than 3,600 pounds of illegal venison meat and products.

Owner Joseph Leonard was known around town as “The Deer Man.” Leonard, 73, was arrested and charged with a number of crimes after he allegedly sold illegal venison products to undercover investigators.

Leonard’s charges include felony illegal commercialization of wildlife, felony grand larceny, criminal solicitation fourth degree and felony illegal scheme to defraud, first degree.

Manager Tamra Hoag, 57, was also arrested and charged with illegal commercialization of wildlife and illegal scheme to defraud, first degree.

It is illegal to sell white-tailed deer meat and deer parts in New York State.

Both Leonard and Hoag were arraigned in the Town of Edmeston criminal court last week and are due back in court on June 6.

Farmers Place was a member of a group called the Venison Donation Coalition Inc., a sportsmans organization that “transforms a renewable natural resource into nutritious food for those less fortunate and in need.”

The business also operated a food truck, according to their Facebook page.

Authorities are keeping mum on the details.

“The investigation into Farmers Place is still underway and more details will be forthcoming,” a DEC spokesman told the Sun. Edmeston is located about 40 minutes south of Utica.

For 25 years, the Fisher House program has provided a “home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. The homes provide temporary free lodging so families can be close to their loved ones during a medical crisis, allowing them to focus on wh what’s important – the healing process.

Assembly Race From page 1

work if we create the jobs and provide the resources needed to put people to work.”

Mulverhill said he will work to gain the support of local GOP committees.

“As a fellow Republican, I praise Jan Duprey for her many years of service and outstanding contributions to the North Country,” Mulverhill said. “I intend to continue right where Jan will leave off. She is a fine example of how a great representative can improve our area.”

Mulverhill, who served as sergeant with the state police for 23 years, was elected Franklin County Sheriff in 2010.

Mulverhill also served as a correction officer for four years.

His entry to the race marks a law enforcement showdown.

Franklin County Board of Legislators Chairman Billy Jones, a Democrat, announced his candidacy in March.

Jones also made a career in law enforcement and continues to work as a correction officer.

Following the announcement, Jones promptly released a statement: “Voters in the North Country will have a choice when they elect a new Assembly representative. If we are to restore the public’s faith in our elected officials, residents deserve a candidate they can trust,” Jones said. “If we are to continue our region’s proud and resilient history, I will be the strong voice we need in the Assembly majority to lead the economic transformation of the North Country.”

Jones was unanimously endorsed by the Franklin County Democratic Party on Sunday.

“Billy Jones is a proven leader with a track record of public service. He is the hardest working county legislator I know,” said Franklin County Democratic Chair Kathy Fleury. “Jones’ experience as chairman of the Franklin County Legislature has given him an opportunity to fight for North Country needs with officials in Albany. That puts him a big step ahead of anyone without that experience.”

Democrats hold a majority in the state assembly.

Jones said he believes that being a member of the majority party will be beneficial in passing legislation.

“Of course, both Jan and I have disagreed with Albany in the past,” Jones said. “I don’t expect that to change if I am elected.”

Mulverhill said he is seeking the support of the three GOP committees and will be circulating petitions to appear on the November ballot.

“Over the next several months, I’ll be attending as many events as possible throughout the more than 3,000 square mile district.”

“This is a great day for Franklin County,” said Franklin County Republican Chairman Ray-

mond Scollin in a statement.

Scollin called Mulverhill an “extraordinary” sheriff who has “demonstrated, by consistently advocating for all Franklin County residents, that he understands the importance of representation.”

Without mentioning Jones by name, Scollin called Mulverhill the “best candidate running.”

“We have all seen the many challenges facing our county and region,” Scollin wrote. “Franklin County continues to be fiscally stressed, and we cannot afford the tired and ineffective policies that brought us to that point, and have kept us there.”

Scollin said residents deserve representation that “breaks from the majority, and fights for ethics reform, economic growth and realistic support for our local farms and small businesses.

Our dysfunctional New York Assembly is exacerbated by adding to their already bloated majority.”

Mulverhill acknowledged the Plattsburgh area as the district’s economic core. If elected, he said he would maintain an office in the city.

But he also stressed his connections to the rest of the district.

“As fate would have it I am probably one of the few individuals who have lived and gone to school in each one of the counties in the 115th District,” Mulverhill said, “and because I live in Malone, I will always meet people and groups in Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties closer to home.”

NYS Assembly District 115 covers all of Clinton and Franklin counties and a portion of St. Lawrence County.

Brew Castle From page 1

It’s an experience, along with tasting events, Knight and Chamberlain hope becomes commonplace in the mountain town as they continue to tailor their offerings, which includes items made by local food producers.

The refurbished space also includes accessories, glasses, beer-making gear and items from Chamberlain’s Powderondack line of organic, New York-made clothing with illustrations inspired by the Adirondacks.

Forming a new link in the local food ecosystem is key, said the pair.

Their native Vermont has a long history of developing and sustaining local food and beverages.

“We’ve seen the shining lights of that developing here,” Knight said. “We live it and showcase it in our store.”

Doing so provides another pillar that supports the local economy, said Knight.

As the local craft beer biz continues to mature, making the jump from on-site tasting and growler-filling to selling and distributing products, the pair said they look forward to helping facilitate that leap to retail.

Local brewers, including Paradox Brewery, Big Tupper Brewing, Ausable Brewing Company and the BarkEater Craft Brewery in Lowville, are producing excellent products, Knight said.

The Brew Castle also sees potential in the region’s emergence as a gastro-tourism destination.

“The Adirondacks, this area in particular, is really primed for culinary tourism, and I think we’re all part of that equation,” Knight said.

Craft beer and cider is booming in New York, where the state has loosened regulations over the past decade.

At a national level, the industry touted 13 percent growth last year, according to Forbes, posting double-digit growth for the eighth year in a row.

The craft beer industry now marks 12 percent of the market share of the total beer market, a number that is expected to increase to 20 percent by 2020.

Knight feels confident about the industry’s prospects.

“It’s the craft brewers that are really sustaining the market,” she said.

New businesses like the Brew Castle are helping sustain the local economy, say their peers, which is touch-and-go in this seasonal climate.

Brew Castle patrons can enjoy coffee from SubAlpine Coffee, a Keene Valley cafe who provided their pals coffee beans through a bulk discount program. In turn, SubAlpine refers to customers to the Brew Castle with discount cards.

“As a business owner, I’m super-happy whenever a new business comes into Keene and Keene Valley,” said Patrick Walsh, owner of SubAlpine Coffee. “That, I think, is good for the town.”

Expect a steady rotation of new beer selections throughout the summer.

“They’re always cold, always in the cooler and always changing,” Chamberlain said “We always try to keep two or three exceptional beers in there.”

State, feds roll out new proposals to fight heroin Grant funding, task forces intended to squash sustained opiate epidemic

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Movement is underway across a variety of fronts as state, federal and local officials continue their fight against opiate abuse.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week announced the launch of a statewide task force charged with combatting the scourge, which he called one of the state’s most pressing concerns.

The group, consisting of a coalition of healthcare, drug policy and education experts alongside parents and former addicts, has been tasked with holding a series of public listening sessions across the state.

A comprehensive action plan will follow.

“It is a statewide crisis,” Cuomo told reporters in North Hudson last week. “The number of young people, middleaged people who are literally losing, or dying, is frightening.”

Dates and locations for the sessions are scheduled to be rolled out soon, according to the governor’s office.

At the national level, the U.S. House of Representatives passed several bills last week that would boost financial resources to local, state and federal agencies.

Among them was the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act of 2016, which Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) called a “significant achievement.”

This bipartisan legislation will address the “four corners” of addiction: prevention, treatment, recovery and law enforcement, Stefanik said.

The bill authorizes the appropriation of $103 million in grant funding annually over the next five years.

States and local municipalities will be given the flexibility to attack issues unique to their communities through a stream-

lined grant program that encompasses a variety of new and existing programs.

Included are funds for expanded prevention and education efforts to prevent abuse, increased resources for law enforcement and first responders and additional resources for drug courts, veterans’ treatment courts and other diversion programs.

Ahead of last week’s vote, Stefanik toured New York’s 21st Congressional District and met with those on the frontlines, including veterans who had become dependant on pain medication following injuries sustained in service.

Stefanik recounted a discussion with a wounded veteran at a roundtable discussion at St. Joseph’s Treatment Center who said he wouldn’t be alive without the support offered by the Saranac Lake-based agency.

The bill also includes resources for veterans struggling to reintegrate into society while also battling addiction, Stefanik

said.

“So that conversation had stayed with me and was a driving fact why we’ve needed to get this through Congress,” Stefanik told the Sun. “This is legislation we should be proud of — and I am proud of.”

Similar legislation will need to clear the Senate before making its way to the president’s desk.

Addiction to opioids has increased at a steady rate in the past decade.

Over 40,000 Americans died from a drug overdose in 2013.

Nearly 2 million Americans were addicted to opioid-based prescription painkillers, and over 500,000 were addicted to heroin.

“This is a harrowing statistic, as four in five new heroin users start after misusing prescription drugs and opioid overdoses killed more than 2,000 New Yorkers in 2011 — double the number who died in 2004,” wrote Stefanik in a Medium post.

While the freshman lawmaker stopped short of saying pharmaceutical companies should be directly held accountable for their role in the epidemic, Stefanik said they needed to be “part of the conservation” alongside other medical industry professionals and other stakeholders.

A number of federal and state policies have been instituted to curb abuse in recent years, including oxycodone reformulations that has made it harder to abuse the drug, a new prescription monitoring program in New York State and increased access to the overdose antidote naloxone.

At the local level, the Essex County Heroin and Opioid Prevention Coalition, or ECHO, is scheduled to meet on Friday in Elizabethtown.

“The issue of opiate addiction in Essex County gets larger every single day,” wrote Doug Meyer, of the Essex County Mental Health Association on materials advertising the meeting. “Rarely does a day go by when one of my care coordinators isn’t confronted with a consumer with an opiate issue.”

Crafting community carves out love for one of their town Fundraising benefit planned for May 21 to benefit Ken Gadway, the master craftsman who lost his inventory and tools in a workshop fire

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — By this time of year, the man known as the Adirondack Woodturner would ordinarily be easing into his summer routine, a breakneck schedule of farmers markets, craft shows and other events where he would display his handcrafted wooden bowls.

But a devastating fire destroyed Ken Gadway’s workshop in Morrisonville last month.

The flames took his entire stock, and with it, his livelihood.

Organizers hope a weekend benefit will aid with the almost-unfathomable loss.

Shane Dutil, a fellow woodworker, got to know Gadway on the farmers market circuit. They became fast friends over the years.

Dutil described a man who is universally well-liked.

Gadway was always the first to aid fellow vendors. Whether carrying their gear, offering positive words of support or offering shield from wind and rain, he was always there with a smile.

The Adirondack Woodturner is a full-time craftsman, Dutil said — not a hobbyist, but rather a consummate professional.

And he is excellent at his profession.

“He’s straight-up the best woodturner I’ve ever seen,” Dutil said. “His bowls are just phenomenal.”

Long winter hours were spent creating his inventory, intricate items carved from burrows, or the lumpy growths found on trees.

A benefit is scheduled for Saturday, May 21 at the Platts-

ANNUAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING To Be Held: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 Time: 9:30 am - 10:30 am Location: Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Hall 1114 US Rt. 9, Schroon Lake Announcements Include: • Financial Report • By Law Revisions 2016 • Slate of Officers 2016 - 17 • New Board Members • 2015 Annual Report 91598

burgh VFW on Spellman Road.

Reaction was immediate following the April 5 blaze.

“We’re like a little family,” Dutil said. “When something happens, we take care of our own.”

Bonnie Gonyo, co-manager of the Plattsburgh Farmer’s Market and an Adirondack Farmers Market board member, recalled Ken’s sterling reputation in the community.

“Ken is a very generous person,” Gonyo said. “He would do anything for anyone.”

Dozens of fellow vendors, craftsmen, business owners and just regular folks have volunteered in organizing the benefit, donating raffle items, ingredients and manpower for a spaghetti dinner, among myriad other tasks and contributions.

A GoFundMe page started by Ken’s daughter, Kristina, has raised $12,381, quickly surpassing the initial goal of $10,000.

The response is a testament to how beloved her father is in the community, Kristina said.

“Everyone is showing who they really are,” Kristina.

Kristina said it’s a struggle for her father to accept the kindness of others. Ken comes from a family of farmers who have always prided themselves on their self-reliance.

“He’s very thankful and very overwhelmed by everyone’s support,” Kristina said.

The Adirondack Woodturner is also a great dad, his daughter said.

“I definitely don’t know what I would do without him.”

Spaghetti Dinner Benefit for Ken Gadway: Saturday, May 21 at 2 p.m. the Plattsburgh VFW. For more information, or to volunteer, call 518-335-9211.

Pictured above: A benefit to aid Ken Gadway, a well-liked Morrisonville craftsman who lost his workshop in a fire on April 5, is scheduled for Saturday, May 21 at the Plattsburgh VFW on Spellman Road.

I

think we can all agree that America is in a period of sharp and rapid change. The real question: is this change for the good or change for the sake of change?

Most change is gradual, providing time for discussion, reflection and adjustment.

Sadly in today’s fast-paced society, change and reaction may be coming faster than we can deal with and overloading an already overloaded system.

Several stories in the news this past week reflect the nation’s growing frustration with unexpected changes.

First, let’s take the folks at the TSA. Long wait times and poor performance testing in technology, procedures and human errors have pushed the flying public to the brink.

TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger recently admitted there are 5,000 fewer security screeners on the job today compared to just a few years ago. Roughly 117 walk off the job each week and 35 percent within the first year, Neffenger told Congress last week. With nearly three million passengers passing through TSA lines each day, they simply do not have the manpower.

Calls from both sides of the aisle calling for privatizing the TSA may force government to throw in the towel in yet another huge failing of a government program.

Another unexpected change thrown at school districts around the nation came last week when President Obama told administrators, as a condition of receiving federal funds, transgender students must be allowed to access facilities consistent with their gender identity.

While schools are permitted to provide single use facilities, they can not require transgender students to use them over male or female facilities, even if other students, parents or community members object.

While no specific numbers define how many students currently consider themselves to be transgender, it appears school districts with larger transgender populations have already been dealing with these issues. Other school districts, with little or no transgender students have installed single use facilities as a compromise for those students conflicted with gender.

Add these issues to the many issues already brewing in this year’s election cycle and there is no doubt we are in for a fierce battle between two candidates who have high unfavorables, forcing the electorate to choose between issues and personalities.

Lodge at Boreas Ponds should stay or be relocated to serve as a visitors center

D

ignitaries gathered last week in front of a pristine lake in North Hudson to announce what is anticipated to be the final in a series of large-scale acquisitions by the state, the 20,758-acre Boreas Ponds

Tract.

Frequently referred to as the “crown jewel” of the former Finch Pruyn land holdings, the Manhattan-sized tract in the High Peaks region contains an astonishing spread of ecological diversity, from alpine-type summits to lowland forest, all teeming with life.

Now that the ink is dry, the land classification process begins.

For the first time, North Hudson will gain an access point to the High Peaks Wilderness.

The discussion is sure to ignite what’s expected to be the latest in a long, grinding clash between advocates of access, who would like to see the lands remain opened up to motorized vehicles, and preservationists, who prefer to see as little human impact as possible.

Both sides have compelling arguments.

But no matter which side of the ideological spectrum you fancy, we strongly believe that the more user groups that have the opportunity to enjoy the land, the more positively it will impact not only the region, but the entire state.

That’s why it’s a shame that the sprawling lodge once used by timber executives will be torn down this spring.

Doing so, we think, is counterproductive.

Located seven miles from the hardtop, the lodge could serve a myriad of purposes.

As the population ages, the building could be used as a respite for sportsmen who are no longer able to climb mountain trails, wade through rivers and access back country ponds.

After all, the state has slammed the door on hundreds of hunting clubs that allowed motorized back country access to a generation who would not have been able to take advantage of it otherwise.

And we are all going to get old someday.

It could also serve as a home base for those who have never had a chance to experience that firsthand.

Other potential uses abound, from a possible education center to a sportsmen’s museum.

Last week, the Nature Conservancy announced they’d sweeten the transaction deal with $750,000 in grant money to promote economic development projects.

The organization should be commended for their largess, which is just the latest in a long string of generous financial contributions to the communities surrounding the vast tract of land holdings.

But we can’t help but think that those funds could be better used as seed money for a possible visitor center that will help disabled people who also want to take advantage of the serene natural setting.

After all, the gorgeous facility is already handicap accessible.

This is in line with a number of stakeholders who have said they want to make the Adirondack Park more diverse and accessible to as many user groups as possible.

We concede little will save the lodge from the wrecking ball.

We’ve been told local officials are hashing out a possible plan for the former Frontier Town site with state brass.

So here’s an idea: Disassemble the building piece-by-piece and reconstruct it elsewhere, say, off Exit 29 of the Adirondack Northway, where it can serve as a link to the past and greet those who visit in the future.

Brand it as a testament to compromise. In a state so decisive, that’s something everyone should enjoy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AÊ safetyÊ tipÊ forÊ roadÊ crews

ResponseÊ toÊ MedicaidÊ taxiÊ editorial

To the Editor: While on my morning commute across Route 74 this week, I have noticed several times an unsafe practice by road crews.

While putting signs out warning oncoming traffic of road work ahead, the crews park their vehicle in their lane of traffic while they all get out to set up a sign.

While I totally understand the need for warning signs and value their importance in the safety of drivers and workers alike, the practice of leaving their vehicle in the roadway while they set the signs up seems unsafe.

Flashing lights on or not, it could become a deadly situation very quickly.

The situation could have been much safer if they had just pulled ahead another 50 feet and pulled off into a driveway to get their signs ready.

Today, there was a loaded pulp truck ahead of me, and one unloaded oncoming at the point that they were parked in the road with several vehicles following closely behind.

With so many distracted drivers in today’s society, I think taking all precautions available seems not like a smart idea, but one that must be done every time.

To all road crews and construction workers: Please help all people on the roads become safer by pulling off to the side of the road during these times. It may save my life or yours.

John Swinton Schroon Lake

To the Editor: So, what is the source of the Medicaid taxi problem that Essex County is forced to deal with.

Barron’s financial publication compares the increase in Medicaid services to a three-card Monte game at the state and federal level with the taxpayers as the suckers.

Here’s how it works.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his NYS Dept. of Health create an enhanced transportation structure for Medicaid folks by using taxi’s. The taxi structure then pays the State taxes and fees. The state then uses the money from the taxes and fees to create additional Medicaid services. The new taxi providers are happy to pay the taxes and fees because they are guaranteed payment from the state. The Fed then happily reimburses all of it since they also want more services for Medicaid and Medicare to accommodate the Obamacare wealth redistribution objectives.

Nifty huh!

Obamacare was packaged and gifted to you though lies and deceit, not unlike the Iranian nuke deal. Both have cost an enormous amount of nonbudgeted tax dollars which has helped Obama double your national debt.

Over the next couple of years, health costs will be transferred more directly to you and you will be paying, as they say in the old country, up the yin yang.

Unless you are among those who get it for free, such as illegal aliens. The insurance companies are dropping out of health care so eventually a massive central government will control it all, probably as efficiently as they control the Veterans Administration.

When Obama told you he was going to change America he wasn’t kidding. Cuomo uses the same playbook. Their progressive social justice agenda is expensive, but they don’t concern themselves with how to pay for it.

Clinton and Sanders are promising more social justice. Free college, plus transfer $1 trillion of existing student debt to you. I trust you no longer believe that fairy tale about Wall St. paying for everything. It’s a pretty old story with little result.

Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown

NursingÊ programÊ anÊ assetÊ Ê To the Editor: I am pleased with your piece about the nursing program at SUNY Adirondack in the May 7 edition of the Sun. I attended the nursing program at Plattsburgh way back in 1962. After three semesters, I left and was accepted into the nursing program at ACC. I remember even then that the instructors advised us to continue with our education and obtain a BSN. I graduated in 1966 while working part time for Dr. Richard Hogan and then worked at Glens Falls Hospital as an RN for a time until moving to North Carolina.

When our family returned to the North Country, I started working as a Community Mental Health Nurse, a job that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am now retired. I occasionally see nursing students studying at Panara Bread and stop to chat, telling my tale and trying to encourage them.

I met my husband at ACC, one of our sons graduated from ACC and now a grandson has signed up for the Cisco program. Having a community college in our area is an asset and one that I hope will continue successfully long into the future.

It’s interesting to me that now SUNY Plattsburgh offers classes for a BSN. I have two granddaughters who want to pursue careers in the health care field and are thinking of colleges out of the area. I sincerely hope they will consider SUNY Adirondack first.

Mountain Riders rally to fight ALS To the Editor: On Saturday, June 4, the Mountain Riders Motorcycle Club will host its 10th Annual ALS Motorcycle Rally and Poker Run. Our club continues to hold great pride in hosting the first and only annual fundraiser to financially assist North Country residents diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

This year, proceeds generated will be disbursed to Sister Yvonne Cusson.

Sister Yvonne was diagnosed in 2015 with ALS after being a part of the Au Sable Forks and Holy Name Parish community for 15 years. She retired to the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Mother House in Watertown.

Welcome events include a motorcycle ride, a “paint and sip” party, a barbecue-style meal, silent auction, 50/50, raffles and live entertainment.

We are honored to announce that Assemblywoman Janet Duprey will be our guest speaker. The Assemblywoman recognizes the increase of ALS cases throughout the North Country region. She is dedicated in supporting financial and educational events pertaining to the disease.

Biker/Passenger Registration is at Mad River Pizzeria, at 10 a.m. The cost is $15 per rider and $5 per passenger, which includes a meal. Bikers will depart at 11 a.m., and return to the Billy Mitchell Memorial Ball Field at approximately 2 p.m. The cost is $10 for adult s and $5 for children and seniors. Donations are appreciated. For more information, contact Kevin (Shrek) Cobb at 572-5004 or Craig SantaMaria at 441-9529. To make a food, auction or monetary donation, contact Kelly Murphy at 524-5806. If interested in participating in the “Paint & Sip” party, contact Jessie Furnia at 637-1700.

We look forward to seeing you on June 4, rain or shine.

FullÊ FrontierÊ TownÊ storyÊ notÊ told To the Editor: Your newspaper’s article did not even tell half the story! Why is the county still on the hook for this property when it could have been sold a few years ago? Maybe Supervisor Moore should pay for anything that needs to be done to the property, as he wanted it so badly.

If this is your in-depth reporting, maybe you need to find a deeper pool.

TrumpitusÊ isÊ sweepingÊ theÊ nation To the Editor: This country is now in the grip of a major health crisis. The new disease (Trumpitus) is now sweeping across the land. Symptoms of this malady are blind belief in a demagogue who has no credible solutions to anything and denial of any and all facts that do not conform to their point of view.

At this time, no known cure for this affliction is available, but hope for the best.

Nicholas O’Connor Ticonderoga

USA Luge

From page 1 In addition to those funds, which will be spread out over a five-year period, $5 million will be allocated to support the creation of a new world-class start ramp facility.

“USA Luge plays a central role in Lake Placid’s storied history, and we are thrilled they will remain in the region,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. “Today’s vote ensures that USA Luge will continue to drive significant economic growth, create well-paying jobs and inspire the next generation of Olympians in New York State.”

The future of the facility has been uncertain since the organization looked around to see if other locales would be interested in hosting the headquarters as a result of the Olympic Village’s ailing facilities.

Park City was the only other city that issued a request for proposal.

The state has dedicated over $43 million in upgrades and improvements to Lake Placid’s Olympic facilities since 2011, according to materials provided by the governor’s office.

Local officials praised the decision.

“USA Luge’s roots are right here and we have felt all along that that this is where they should stay,” said ORDA President and CEO Ted Blazer in a statement. “It’s obvious that the State of New York felt the same way.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik called the decision “fantastic news” for the region.

Roby Politi, supervisor of North Elba, said the decision has more than economic ramifications.

“For Lake Placid, long-term, it’s essential we have a national governing sports body in the community,” Politi said, “especially sliding sports.”

Politi said it would have been a “tragedy” if the agency pulled out.

“This would not have happened if Gov. Cuomo did not step in,” Politi said.

“We must work to inspire athletes across New York – and that means ensuring continued investment in Lake Placid’s extraordinary facilities, and keeping the momentum and enthusiasm moving forward for residents, tourists and visitors alike,” said Empire State Development CEO and Commissioner Howard Zemsky. ‘We are confident the state’s far-reaching investments in the Lake Placid and USA Luge will do just that.”

Lake Placid has been home to USA Luge since its inception in 1979.

Last season, the team won 18 World Cup medals. Since 1998, the association has raced to 10 world Championship podiums and five Olympic medals.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits A drink called “switchel” Gordie Little

Columnist

M

y father was a poor preacher who was often compensated in fresh vegetables by his rural congregation. We ate well, but had little cash on hand.

If my brother and I wanted a baseball glove or balsa wood airplane, we had to earn it somehow. I seem to recall fifty cents an hour as the going wage until I was a teenager and could do the work of a man in the fields.

I mowed lawns for a skinflint.

He has long been deceased, so there is no threat of retaliation.

He owned a gas-powered mower, but it languished in his barn while I was forced to struggle with an old-fashioned reel-type push mower.

I was never given a drink to quench my thirst and always guzzled down lots of water before he picked me up for the day’s work. Besides lawn mowing, I was tasked with cleaning rat droppings from his granary. I was also given gunny sacks and sent into his pastures to pull up bags and bags of invasive weeds.

Those were lessons learned the hard way. As the years went on, I began seasonal work on another farm where I was proud to become as physically strong as the adult farm hands. I was paid to work beside them in the hay fields and stooking grain as well as carrying heavy bags of oats to the granary.

It was thirsty business and the womenfolk made sure all the hired help had plenty of satiating liquids. For years as an older adult, I struggled to remember what they called an odd, but satisfying liquid that was brought to us in the fields.

Then, it came to me. Switchel.

That’s what it was. Have you ever heard of it? It was also referred to as haymaker’s punch or ginger-water. I scoured the Internet and discovered the recipe ingredients: Vinegar and water, ginger, along with maple syrup, molasses, honey or brown sugar.

Sometimes, lemon was added to the mix.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It worked for us on hot days under the blazing sun and in the stifling hay mows. I didn’t know it before researching for this column, but have learned that this wonderful beverage is now being bottled and sold nationwide.

Laura Ingalls Wilder, wellknown to us in the North Country for “Little House on the Prairie” and for the homestead near Malone, wrote about a similar drink made for the farm workers while haying.

I found various beverages marketed as switchel in New York State, Vermont and other states. There are also alcoholic versions with ale and stout that I have never tried but would consider it in the future.

If the word switchel is foreign to you, ask an old farmer. And while you’re at it, have him tell you more stories of days gone by.

Unified basketball comes to Section VII Ti Program provides opportunity for students to get into the game

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — You can still hear the thud of the basketball on the court at Ticonderoga High School.

A group of 15 youth — boys and girls — have come together to form the first-ever unified basketball program in Section VII, and the school hopes it will be something that catches on.

“The unified program is a mixture of special education and regular education students who don’t often get the chance to play sports or to be on a team,” coach Alexandra Smith said. “We hope this season will start to generate interest in more Section VII schools.”

“I was very excited to hear we were starting a unified team,” said coach Kendra McCoy, who had previously coaches a unified squad in the Rochester area before coming to Ticonderoga as a physical education teacher. The Ticonderoga Unified Basketball team took to the court this season, becoming the first school in Section VII to have a unified program. School officials hope the program catches on elsewhere as they now have to travel to Glens Falls for games.

Local athletes named to NYSSWA All State basketball teams

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Nine boys and 13 girls have been named to the New York State Sportswriter’s Association All State Basketball teams for the 2015-16 seasons.

The teams are highlighted by a pair of state finalists in the Moriah Vikings boys team, along with duo’s from Warrensburg and Lake George on the lady’s side.

Girls

The top players from the biggest rivalry of the CVAC season made it onto the Class B All-State teams, as junior center Kayla Carder of Northeastern Clinton and junior guard Kenna Guynup of Beekmantown were named to the sixth and eighth teams, respectively.

Carder, a first team CVAC All-Star, reached the 1,000-point mark in the Class B playoffs, helping to lead the Lady Cougars to the Section VII championship after splitting the two regular season games between the Cougars and Eagles.

Guynup, who also was a first team CVAC All-Star, helped to lead the Eagles to the Section VII champoinship game.

In Class C, Warrensburg’s senior guard Erin Langworthy, a multi-MVP in the Adirondack League, was named to the first team in Class C. It was the third year Langworthy has been named to the first team, having earned the honors in Class D for the 2014-15 and 2013-14 seasons. In 2012-13, Langworthy was a member of the Class D seventh team.

Northern Adirondack guard Taylor Durnin passed the 1,000-point plateau and took her team to the Class C state semifinals for the second year in a row (the Bobcats lost in the state title game last season), earning third team honors for 2015-16. Durnin was named to the Class C fifth team a year ago.

MacKenzie and Graceann Bennett were named to the sev-

enth and ninth teams for the Lake George Lady Warriors in Class C. McKenzie scored 376 points in her senior season, finishing with a career total of 1,069 points. She also averaged seven rebounds and three steals per game.

Graceann, meanwhile, came onto the scene in her freshman campaign, scoring 395 points while averaging 11 rebounds per game. Through her first two seasons as a varsity player, Graceann has 580 points to her name.

Class C honorable mention players included Madison McCabe, the AuSable Valley swing guard who scored 401 points in her junior season, leaving her 121 points shy of the 1,000-career point plateau.

Senior Forward Hailey Moore of Seton Catholic was also named to an to the Class C honorable mention as the perfect rebounding complement to a strong interior game for the Knights.

Warrensburg junior Britany Frasier also was named to the Class C honorable mention list.

In Class D, Keene junior point guard Hanna Whitney was named to the second team after helping lead her team to the Section VII finals. Whitney scored 414 points this season, hitting 33 from long range. Whitney heads into her senior season with 1,169 points and 95 three pointers made.

Madasyn Bush, a junior at North Warren, was named to the Class D sixth team, leading the Cougars to a 13-8 regular season record and a third place finish in the Adirondack League.

Minerva/Newcomb junior guard Jordan Bush was named to the Class D seventh team, leading the Mountaineers in a very competitive Division II of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference and earning MVP honors for the division.

Keene junior forward Elaina Smith made the seventh team in Class D, as the inside scoring threat for the Beavers also surpassed the 1,000-point career mark with 371 points on the season, heading into her senior year 98 points shy of her teammate (1.018).

Boys

It was an all Section VII list on the All State boys basketball teams, with Northeastern Clinton senior Melik McLeod earning 10th team honors in Class B. McLeod led the Cougars into the Class B state tournament, averaging 19.8 points for the season.

In Class C, 1,000-point scorer Josh Juntunen was named to the seventh team. The junior guard averaged 21.3 points over the season, helping lead the Bobcats to the Class C championship game.

The Class C championship went to the AuSable Valley Patriots, who were led by junior forward Kobe Parrow, who average 16.7 points-per-game but saved his biggest moments for the playoffs, helping lead the Patriots to the Class C final four, falling to the “Class C” champion Middle College.

Northern Adirondack bigman Stephen Peryea was named to the honorable mention list in Class C, having several games where he would dominate in the scoring and rebounding columns.

In Class D, the decision of NY Mills guard Terry Nichols as Player of the Year may have many in Section VII scratching their head as Moriah senior center Adam Jaquish, who soundly defeated Mills, was placed behind him as a member of the first team. Jaquish finished his career with the rare double-quadruple, scoring over 1,000 points while grabbing over 1,000 rebounds. His 1,609 points are the most all-time for the Vikings and second all-time in Section VII. Senior swingman Taylor Slattery made the second team for the Vikings, finishing with 937 career points, also playing some of his biggest moments for the Civic Center and playoffs, scoring 222 points as the Vikings had a 15-3 playoff record over the past three seasons.

A pair of shooters were named to the honorable mention list in Class D, including 1,000-point scorer in Westport senior and 1,000-point scorer Anderson Gay, along with Schroon Lake junior shooting guard Branden Hall.
