Barring challenge from the public, town resolution will become law

Punk outfit to bring raw sound, dose of rock history to Otis Mountain Get Down ELIZABETHTOWN — Rough Francis plays loud and dangerous rock and roll, unsafe music that should inspire action and ideas, says the band’s frontman.

“Something that keeps you on the edge of your seat,” said Bobby Hackney Jr. Pete The Burlington-based outfit boasts a DeMola Writer variety of influences. Their sound is like a roadmap that traces out American rock history beginning with the Motown scene. They’ve melded those influences with late-1960s proto-punk troublemakers like the Stooges and MC5 alongside elements of Burlington’s hardcore heyday in the late-1980s.

The result is jittery and unhinged, but also laced with streaks of soul.

“It’s primal rock and roll,” said Hackney, the band’s vocalist.

The quintet is slated to perform this Saturday at the Otis Mountain Get Down in Elizabethtown, a festival gig that comes at the end of a flurry of summertime activity for the outfit, including shows up and down the east coast and recording sessions for a new LP.

Last week, work was completed on the culvert spanning Roaring Brook on River Road in North Elba.

What was once a claustrophobic culvert containing duel six-foot pipes is now a handsome bridge-type structure that spans 35 feet.

It’s a veritable salmon superhighway, explained the Nature Conservancy’s Michelle Brown, allowing fish to navigate their way up the Ausable River with few hurdles. With this project, six additional miles have been opened up.

Burlington-based punk outfit Rough Francis are scheduled to perform at the Otis Mountain Get Down in Elizabethtown on Saturday, Sept.

12 at 10:30 p.m. In addition to turbocharged riffs, the quintet brings a slice of rock and roll history. For more info, find them on Facebook or visit otismountain.com.

It’s impossible to discuss the band without mentioning one of rock and roll’s most compelling tales, a family saga that is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring.

In the early 1970s, three brothers started a band in Detroit, quickly taking up the brand of turbocharged rock and roll proffered by local Motor City acts — including, you guessed it, the Stooges and MC5.

They called themselves Death.

Industry heads took notice, but a major label deal disintegrated when the trio refused to change their name to something more marketable.

That was the beginning of the end for Death. The Hackney Brothers relocated to Burlington, released a gospel-tinged re >> Story Continued | pg. 5

WESTPORT — Following a summer operating with only one justice, town officials now want to make the reduction permanent.

Last month, the town board voted unanimously to slash the position left vacant

by Michael “Ike” Tyler’s resignation in June, arguing that one justice can handle the court’s case volume.

According to meeting minutes, Justice William LaHendro said he currently puts in 15 hours per week, handing about 90 cases in two months.

Town officials presented the reduction as a cost-savings measure that will save taxpayers between $10,000 and $15,000 each year.

Supervisor Dan Connell said the reduction will help the town stay under the state-mandated tax cap.

Under the cap, the town can only increase the levy by $6,500 next year. Going above that number means residents will not be eligible for state-issued tax rebate checks.

“That number becomes significant if you look at it that way,” said Connell. “It’s extremely difficult to find >> Story Continued | pg. 5

Lawmakers take wait-and-see approach to tanker storage plan pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County lawmakers said Tuesday they need more information before sounding off on the Saratoga & North Creek Railway’s plan to store a fleet of

decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs.

“We’re kind of waiting,” said Essex County Chairman Bill Ferebee.

Earlier this summer, Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis briefed the Warren County Board of Supervisors on the

company’s plan to store a fleet of tankers on a section of tracks pending safety upgrades that are now required by the federal government.

Last week, that board opted to table the discussion following feedback from the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency.

Assemblyman Dan Stec, who was present in Elizabethtown on Tuesday to brief the board on recent activities, said he was unsure if legally, municipalities even have a say on the railway’s plan.

“I’m not really clear if a local government has a role or not,” said Stec.

It was presented to Warren County more as a courtesy, he said.

While Stec said his initial reaction to the proposal was one of discomfort, it may be premature to flat out reject the idea. He added that he would like to see the railway, which is owned by Iowa Pacific Holdings, succeed.

The lawmaker said he had several unanswered questions, including those related to

security, visual impact and the ultimate fate of the tankers, which may never be put back into service.

“Local government doesn’t have enough information to say if we like it or don’t like it,” said Stec.

Ellis told Warren County lawmakers that the measure may bring in seven figures for the company, which is struggling to turn a profit.

It remains unclear where the tankers would be stored.

Ferebee said he looks forward to discussing the issue further with Newcomb Supervisor George Canon, who was not present at the meeting.

The combination of new pipelines and more stringent safety measures has led to the glut of unused cars.

Numerous environmental groups have come out against the proposal, including the Adirondack Council.

A change.org petition has already garnered 7,578 signatures against the measure.

‘1000 Postcards’ to be displayed SARANAC LAKE — BluSeed Studios presents the work of Travis Jeffrey with a new exhibit titled, “1000 Postcards to Vermontville,” featuring individually hand-made postcards utilizing hardcover book covers, acrylic, watercolor, collage, found objects, etc., and sent through the US mail. The public is invited to an opening reception during the Third Thursday Art Walk on Sept. 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit will run through Sunday, Oct. 25.

Bridge connecting Clinton, Essex counties to be replaced

Jeffrey Fisher, project manager for the NYS Department of Transportation, gave a presentation of the construction of the new bridge in Au Sable Forks separating Essex and Clinton counties. The public hearing took place Thursday, Aug. 27 at the Town of Jay Community Center.

AU SABLE FORKS — After over 80 years, the bridge separating the Town of Jay and the Town of Black Brook is getting replaced.

EXISTING CONDITIONS Though the bridge was built to the codes and standards of the time and remains safe for everyday traffic, it is susceptible to loss of foundation materials and flooding caused by intensity and velocity of water from extreme natural events.

Right now on the existing structure, which was built in 1931, there’s evidence of steel gusset plate and steel connection plate deterioration.

“There’s not supposed to be holes in steel,” said Jeffrey Fisher, project manager for the NYS Department of Transportation.

NEW BRIDGE Construction is set to begin in early spring 2016 and end in October 2017, possibly. The cost of the project equals about $2 million.

The objective of this project is to provide a bridge crossing that provides a minimum 75 year service life.

The upgrades will include adding steel or concrete pile foundations to concrete bridge abutments and increasing waterway openings — thus hardening the infrastructure for the future improving the hydraulic opening, improving the structure’s resiliency to severe weather events and decreasing the scour vulnerability of the bridge.

Other additions to this new bridge include increased vehicle lane widths from 10 feet to 12 feet, wider roadway width between curbs, a small shoulder for both sides and a pedestrian sidewalk with railing.

“It’s going to be labor intensive,” said Fisher. This aerial view over the Town of Jay (left) and the Town of Black Brook (right) shows a rough draft of the new bridge, along with the permanent and temporary easements that will be used during the construction process.

CONSTRUCTION TASKS Construction will require permanent property impacts, such as one fee acquisition, two permanent easements and eight temporary easements for construction — spaces for construction, design and environmental groups to do their work.

The construction of the new bridge will also require one structure removal, William Sullivan’s building.

Sullivan’s building, which was primarily used as apartment space, has three separate foundations. Due to the locations of the foundations, it’s not going to be possible for construction workers to put in a new bridge safely, so the entire building has to be removed.

“We don’t like doing this,” Fisher said. “We don’t like to look at this as an option.”

SUPERVISOR’S CONCERNS Black Brook Supervisor Ricky Nolan, who expressed his sadness of the demolishing of Sullivan’s building, expressed his and the town’s biggest concern of the Au Sable Forks Fire Department and the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance.

With the incorporation of this bridge, traffic would be dwindled down to one lane with a traffic signal light.

Both the Au Sable Forks Fire Department and the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance are located within the Jay, making Black Brook vulnerable in terms of emergency.

To solve this issue, Nolan plans on relocating a number of

ambulances and fire trucks on the Clinton County side, since the next closest fire department is in Keeseville.

“That’s all being planned right now,” Nolan said. “But this bridge is really needed.”

COMMENT DEADLINE All oral and written comments must be received by Sept. 8.

Comments may be made by contacting Fisher at 50 Wolf Road, POD 4-3, Albany, NY 12232; 518-457-9916; or jeff. fisher@dot.ny.gov.

Bizarre world of politics

.S. Politics is one of the biggest money businesses in the world.

In so many ways the process to gain political influence has no boundaries.

As citizens of this great democracy we would like to think those involved in the business of politics would look beyond petty skirmishes and foolish statements, but that, perhaps, would be expecting too much from those in control of our government and those who seek control over our government.

In the current political climate the race for the highest office in the land seems mired in contradictions. Both party’s leading candidates are doing things that would have been unimaginable in prior elections.

In the past a candidate wouldn’t think of insulting a voting block like the Hispanic population, yet the leading Republican candidate repeatedly does just that.

A candidate would never rope themselves away from the press and refuse to answer questions leaving the talking heads to present their own version of the issue and chip away at the candidate’s credibility, yet the leading Democrat has.

A candidate would never show their face in public if more than 70 percent of the public thought the best one word description for them was “liar” and the second best description was “distrustful”.

When President Obama was elected he was described as a very likeable person. So who would vote for a candidate best described as “arrogant” or “blowhard”?

The election is likely to be a referendum on the current state of the American political system. The simple fact that these candidates are still in the race is amazing alone, but to be leading the race clearly shows the nation is hungry for, not just new leadership, but a very different type of leader.

The American electorate is tired of politicians who promise to serve and address the nation’s issues only to end up being more interested in themselves, their party and their own legacy.

Childish behavior has no place in American politics nor in a serious society that seeks to uplift its people and encourage increased participation.

Risks outweigh rewards in oil tanker storage plan A

s if thousands of oil tankers clattering through the North Country wasn’t enough, movement is underway to store them here, too.

A local railway has recently revealed their proposal to shore up their sagging business model: Indefinitely store a fleet of decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs.

That’s the pitch Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis made to the Warren County Board of Supervisors earlier this summer.

Packing the lines with some 500 cars would help the struggling company turn a profit, Ellis told lawmakers. Perhaps even seven figures, a much-needed injection of capital as the company attempts to shore up their struggling tourist transit line.

The concept would actually be darkly humorous if the company, which is part of Iowa Pacific Holdings, wasn’t so earnest about carrying it out.

Oil traffic is already a hot-button issue as fleets continue to ship their payload from North Dakota to downstate refineries.

They do so through some of the most fragile terrain in the country, including on tracks located just feet from Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Boreas and Opalescent rivers.

While first responders and emergency service agencies continue to receive disaster training, all readily admit that a spill would be catastrophic for the region, perhaps even irreversible.

What’s more, the dangers posed by this uptick in train traffic is one of the few issues upon which the diverse crew of stakeholders across the Adirondack Park actually agree, which makes the railway’s plan to create a toxic waste graveyard that much more bizarre.

The proposal also contradicts the state’s vision for the region.

If the plan comes into fruition, these cars, which do not meet current safety standards, will be stored near the tracts of newly acquired state land that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly flagged as a hotspot for economic development and increased tourism opportunities.

Not so fast, argues the railway.

The arrangement would be a temporary one as they examine how to update the tankers, some 500 of them, to meet bolstered safety standards. After that, the tankers would be spirited off the tracks and back into service.

But there are too many unanswered questions: How much residual oil will be left in the trains?

Will they be inspected prior to arriving at their destination or afterwards?

How many cars will eventually be stored?

Will the strategy spread to neighboring counties?

Will local municipalities be compensated for the risk?

Will it set a precedent for the storage of additional hazardous materials within the Adirondack Park?

Furthermore, the wheels of government move slowly, especially at the federal level, and we have no reason to believe a temporary arrangement wouldn’t take on more permanent tones, especially if the bottom continues to fall out of the oil-by-rail market.

In fact, the tanker storage trend shows no sign of abating as shipments of crude continue to slow in the wake of newly-completed pipelines.

Last month, Iowa Pacific Holdings told Reuters that they predict 50,000 cars will come off the tracks as the new rules are phased in.

While it seems that simply turning these cars into scrap would be the most sensible option, analysts have said it’s an unlikely scenario considering the unpredictability of global energy trends. Companies have little to lose by simply hanging onto them and hoping for a reversal.

Maybe they’ll leak oil, maybe they won’t. But no amount of reassurances and safeguards will negate the fact that creating a repository of tankers is anathema to the Adirondack Park’s identity as a global leader in environmental sustainability.

We respect the fact that the company is in a tough spot. We hate to see local businesses suffering. But aside from tossing the subsidiary of a out-of-state company a temporary lifeline, we see no broader benefits coming from such an arrangement, only risks.

Last week, the Warren County Board of Supervisors tasked their attorney with researching their options, while the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency look into the permitting process.

We encourage our elected state and local officials to sound off against this arrangement, that is, unless they want to be in the tanker storage business.

Such an agreement would only be within the best interests of one group.

And that, we feel, violates the spirit of the Adirondack Park.

Consequences to raising minimum wage To the Editor: There are serious social consequences to a mandated high minimum wage that proponents need to consider other than as just a temporary band-aid fix to the issue of living wage inequality — whether perceived or real.

As minimum wage battles rage between employees: “A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats” and “Thank You for Courageous Stand on Minimum Wage”; and employers: “The Other Side of Minimum Wage”, keep in mind that there is a whole new generation of “smart” robots in the works just waiting to replace expensive employees. Before smart robot technology, labor could essentially dictate wage demands because companies had few viable alternatives to stay in business. But, now, powerful smart robots are shifting the balance of power. Think: driverless cars, drones and robotic food servers.

Look at how even early-generation “dumb” robots have transformed business� When employee labor costs became unsustainable because of high union wage and benefit demands, automobile manufacturers replaced employees with mechanical robots to the extent that the newest plants essentially build far better cars far more efficiently than early plants — with far less labor� And so it has been for every other business that needed to control labor costs.

Likewise, when employee labor costs become unsustainable because of high minimum wage demands, do high minimum wage proponents expect businesses to just role over and absorb the new employee overhead costs? You can “bet the farm” that smart robot technology will be used to replace employees – and sooner than you think� Automation has been going on for decades. Early “dumb” robots mainly re-

places to cut budgets to stay within the cap.”

The action, which will also eliminate a clerk position, is subject to permissive referendum. Objectors have until Sept. 24 to circulate petitions to force the issue on the ballot this November.

Connell said it’s a good way for voters to sound off if they think the board made the wrong decision.

“To me, that’s the important part,” he said.

Derinda Sherman said she is against the reduction, citing the high caseload derived from Northway traffic. The resident also believes that the measure reduces another element of local control, continuing a trend away from a more democratic form of local government.

In 1999, for instance, the town opted to move to a sole assessor system, while the public works chief is now appointed (as opposed to elected).

Patricia French said she failed to see the logic in the decision.

“I don’t believe it’s going to save enough to warrant eliminating that position,” said French.

Tyler, who is running unopposed to replace Connell, said he supports the decision.

Health insurance costs alone are scheduled to rise 14 percent next year, he said.

“In an ideal world, two judges,” said Tyler. “But we haven’t lived in an ideal world in a long time.”

One justice could easily carry the workload, he said, putting in between eight and 10 hours per week.

In the event of a conflict of interest — a common concern across the Adirondacks, where family ties often run deep in small towns — the justice would simply recuse himself and call in another from a nearby town, said Tyler.

Tyler said the town has done a “fantastic job” keeping taxes down while ensuring infrastructure improvements move along at a steady pace.

“As incoming supervisor, I will do the best job I can, whether a one-judge system, or a two-judge system, to make it work,” said Tyler.

In Essex County, the issue has gone to permissive referendum twice in as many years.

Jay eliminated one of their positions in 2013. Since then, said Supervisor Archie Depo, no problems have arisen.

“It’s worked out great,” said Depo. “Zero issues.”

Depo said he hasn’t heard of any conflicts. Court continues to meet once per week, just as it did before.

In Willsboro, a measure to reduce a judge position last year was torpedoed by taxpayers.

“Things really haven’t changed,” said Supervisor Shaun Gillilland. “It’s still status quo.”

Gillilland said he would be following progress in Westport.

Willsboro, too, faces a 14 percent rise in health insurance next year alongside rising asphalt and salt prices. The town is also looking at a mandated union wage increase of 28 cents per hour and increased retirement costs.

placed repetitive assembly line tasks. The difference, however, is that today’s “smart” robots can replace individual employees doing individual tasks that involve decision-making. It’s entirely within the capability of smart robots to do the work of most employees. Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal put the number at 50 percent. I would guess 80 to 90 percent� With a $15 dollar minimum wage looming, it’s very reasonable to expect to see the first completely automated employee-free fast food businesses in only a few years — at the most� Will it be McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken or, some startup newcomer?

Closer to home (Plattsburgh): How about the first fully automated newspaper?

Denpubs, perhaps? With satellite communications, cloud-storage data bases, drones and driverless cars who needs reporters and support staff when smart technology can do all these things? (Not at all a bad idea, Dan�) I don’t want to appear heartless, because I’m not, and just let employees displaced by smart technology fend for themselves — which is essentially what happens after unemployment insurance benefits run out. Personally, I’ve been on both sides of the fence and understand how hard it is to earn a living in contemporary U.S. Society WHETHER AS AN EMPLOYEE OR AS AN EMPLOYER. As I have stated frequently in letters to this newspaper, I firmly stand by my assertion that it is not the job of American businesses to provide living wage jobs for employees. Mismanagement by government at all levels, of the effects of new smart technologies upon sustainable creation of living wage jobs is causing a serious social problem. It is the Federal government’s job to fix the problems that IT caused, not business caused. But, that’s the subject of another letter� David Safrany Half Moon Bay, CA As next year’s budget starts to take shape this fall, Gillilland said it’s going to be difficult to stay under the cap.

“We either bust the cap or cut,” he said.

Jay Justice Daniel Deyoe didn’t immediately respond to comment for this story, nor did LaHendro in Westport.

In addition to Jay, six other towns in Essex County have a single-justice system: Crown Point, Essex, Newcomb, North Hudson, St. Armand and Schroon.

cord under a different name and eventually moved on with their lives, raising families and performing with reggae outfits on the regional circuit.

Bobby Hackney had three sons, Julian, Urian and Bobby Jr. As his kids started getting into hardcore and skateboarding culture, Bobby Sr. told them he and his brother, Dannis, used to play the same type of music when they were younger (The third brother, David, passed away in 2000).

The younger Hackeys didn’t believe him.

But in 2008, they discovered some old Death recordings online, their wicks kept alive by obscure record collectors, and were blown away: Death was punk before the term even existed. Their dad and uncles were punk rock progenitors. And very few people even knew about this long-forgotten strand of music history.

Armed with a 1974 demo plucked from their dad’s attic, the younger Hackneys helped drum up interest. Drag City issued the recordings in 2009. That release, paired with a critically-acclaimed 2012 documentary, “A Band Called Death,” has led to a full-scale revival.

Hackey admits that it can often be tough escaping from under his famous family’s shadow.

“It’s kind of weird situation,” he said.

In certain circles, people don’t know about Rough Francis’ background and story. In others, people know who they are because of the family connection. And still others find about Death by way of Rough Francis themselves, explained Hackney.

“That sweetens the deal for fans,” he said. “They like us even more because we’re related to them.”

All in all, the ride has been awesome, said the singer.

Saturday marks their first time appearing the Otis Mountain Get Down, which is now in its third year.

“We’re really excited they wanted us to play,” said Hackney.

If you take a moment between sips, you will no doubt come up with many names for coffee you haven’t heard in years. Try it: java, joe, mud, brew, battery acid, brain juice, high test and bean juice.

Here’s another word you might not remember: wattle.

I mentioned it to my friend Les, asking him to use it in a sentence. His response?

“Wattle you come up with next?”

Laura is a former neighbor living in Franklin County. I spotted a photo of a marvelous fence construction in her yard a while ago. It appears to be an eight-foot-diameter circle of twigs woven between and around sixteen upright poles. She referred to it as a wattle and seeing the word in print caused me to laugh out loud or LOL, as they say in text talk.

How this young woman became familiar with such an ancient term is beyond me. My late mother had wattles all over the place. We had woven wattle baskets, wattle furniture and fences. We knew people who built wattle and daub chicken coops.

What ever happened to that perfectly good word?

We often called it “twig work.” Our son Bruce worked constructing a fabulous home in Connecticut years ago. He is a twig work expert and built fabulous things at that location. One of the exterior stairways to the second floor was made cleverly inside a huge hollowed tree.

I interviewed a business woman in the High Peaks and admired the twig work railings along the steps and deck to her home. She did all the work herself.

I have likewise seen beautiful wattle artwork. Twig and branch weaving is a great craft. There are so many things that can be used for wattle. A good one is bamboo, especially for weaving a privacy fence. I think we had a wattle bird cage when we lived in Massena Center.

Sadly, I awoke one morning to find a smiling cat and only feathers inside the wattle.

Bye bye, birdie.

Hundreds of years ago, willow was the most popular material for wattle fences. It often took root and sustained itself over time. My mother always had a supply of withies stacked at the back of the shed to make wattle fences for her garden. Oh, yeah, “withy,” is another word you might not recall. Withies are the flexible branches use for weaving wattles.

By the way, the wattle under a turkey’s chin is completely different.

LakeÊ PlacidÊ BlueÊ Bombers

Head coach: Mel Frazer

Assistant coach: Bill Frazier

Assistant coach: Sandy Huber

Boys 2014 record: 17-1

2014 record: 7-11

Girls 2014 record: 12-6

A year ago, the Lady Blue Bombers, a Class D team playing amongst C’s and B’s in Section VII, put together a strong 6-10 league record on their way to a Section VII Class D championship.

The title win was the second in a row, keeping Northern Adirondack out of its long-held standing as sectional champs.

This year, Lake Placid will look to replicate the feat.

Head coach Donna Moody said that she’s looking for more of the past two season’s steady improvement -- namely a winning record and a shot at their third sectional title.

The team figures to have a good shot at doing so. Of the 10 players on the roster, seven bring with them experience from last season. Victoria O’Leary, Melissa Rath, Sophie Morell, Mario Paola, Brenna Garrett, Jasmine Phillip and Kiana Fell all enter 2015 with one or more seasons under their belts, helping lead varsity newcomers Celina Donnelly, Brittanie Saccone and Aimee Herbert.

A year removed from a nearly blemish-free season, the Blue Bombers will again look to run away from the competition in Section VII. Last year, the Lake Placid boys team went 17-1 (the only loss occurred when top-runner Karl Schulz didn’t participate) on its way to a Section VII championship.

Schulz went on to finish 13th at the state championship, securing himself the coveted invite to the Federation race.

Schulz is back this year and will look to lead a deep and talented group of runners, with eight competing for the top seven spots.

“Based on the previous results at the state championship race, the boys are ranked second in the state,” Frazer explained.

When asked which athletes among the boys are the ones to watch, the coach said the entire team.

The girls, meanwhile, weren’t far behind. Three runners — Nina Armstrong, Gabby Armstrong and Sage Miller — qualified for states as they helped the team to its first winning record since head coach Mel Frazer took over at Lake Placidnine years ago.

Nina capped off her high school career with an 11th place finish at states. While Nina and Miller both graduated, Gabby and another strong runner in Sara Rose-McCandlish will look to lead a young team into the future.

When it comes to areas of improvement, Lake Placid has an enviable problem: many of the athletes are ski jumpers, Nordic skiers and speed skaters. The trick will be to not overtrain, Frazer said.

A year ago, the Lady Blue Bombers put together a strong 11-4-1 season before a hard-fought, 2-1 setback to AuSable Valley in the sectional semifinals.

Now, a youthful Lake Placid team will look to take another playoff shot.

“We are a young team,” said head coach Heather Brewer, “so we will look to improve each game.”

Part of that improvement will be replacing two key players from last season’s team: four-year starting defender Carissa Kennedy and two-year starting goalie Laura Stanton.

Despite the losses, the team does return solid talent, include a pair of four-year senior starters in Liza Marinis and Sam Barney, a captain on the team.

Marinis will be looked upon to lead the offensive while Barney will control the midfield — important, said the coach, to both defense and attack.

Three more returning starters in Cameron Shipman, Mia Kennedy and Camille Craig will anchor the defense. Shipman and Kennedy are entering their senior year while Craig is just a sophomore.

TupperÊ LakeÊ Lumberjacks

Football

Cross Country

Head coach: Dennis Klossner

Head coach: Amy Farrell

Assistant coaches: Jim Merrihew, Rick Dattola, Jim Facteau, Paul Pickering

Assistant coach: Jillian Kreppel Boys 2014 record: 2-6-0

2014 record: 3-7

The Tupper Lake Lumberjacks will look to defend their Section X Class D title again in 2015, but it will take some quick learning by a slew of new players.

Coming off a 25-21 win over St. Lawrence Central in the Class D championship a year ago, in which the Lumberjacks got a good fight from the Larries, needing two unanswered touchdowns to overcome a nine-point hole on their way to a 25-21 win.

In the state playoffs, however, a 41-13 loss to Ticonderoga ended the state playoff run. Offensively, Tupper Lake was one of the strongest teams in the league last season, but only four 2014 starters are back this season.

Head coach Dennis Klosser said the inexperience will be a concern early on. Of the 22 players on the roster, nine are playing football for the first time.

But there’s good news in Tupper Lake, too.

For the past two years the school has been without a JV program, but this year it’s back, giving future Lumberjacks football experience before moving up to varsity size and speed.

Our goals for success are to stay healthy, be as mistake-free as possible, improve each week, execute and perform,” said Klossner.

Much of that will fall upon senior quarterback Noah Santana, running back and linebacker Brasen LaVassaur, and offensive/defensive linemen Brandon Picerno and Nick Rich.

The coach said the team has shown a desire to learn and work hard so far in the preseason.

Tupper Lake will be without several key players from a year ago, including Zack Boushie, Nathan Boyea, Tom Barton, Roger Delair, Liam LaMere and Anson Gagnier — a combination of defenders, offensive players and special teamers.

But if the newer players are ready for action early on, the coach expects Tupper Lake to be able to give opponents a good fight each week.

“We are a Class D school (and) our kids play and compete with every school in the league,” Klossner said. “They don’t back down. We are proud of our kids for the work they put in to our program.”

A year removed from sending a few runners to the state meet, the Tupper Lake cross country team once again has its eyes at placing harriers on the big stage.

The Lumberjacks may be without DJ Shaheen this season, but still have the goal of getting the team closer to NorwoodNorfolk and qualifying athletes, said head coach Amy Farrell.

The coach explained that this year’s team is a “tight group of young athletes who push each other,” and one that will look to gain experience throughout the fall in the 5K. Ben Casagrain, a sophomore, and junior Tess Klossner will look to lead their respective groups and race toward AllNorthern status this season.

Roster

2014 record: 2-14-1

It’s a new year for the Ladyjacks.

Last season, the two-win team saw many of its players adjusting to the varsity level for the first time, limiting Tupper Lake in controlling the middle of the field and creating shots.

Head coach Dan Cook said that although the team will have to fill the shoes of six seniors (Elaine Richards, Ryane O’Connor, Megan Young, Brooke Dewyea, Lindsey Maroun and Malone McLear), a “good group” of returning players feel more comfortable.

“We are looking to create more offensive changes this year,” Cook explained. “We are hoping another year in the system will help our girls feel more able to push forward and put pressure on our opponent’s defense.”

While Section X’s central division is one that the coach called “very difficult,” the coach hopes defense can kick-start offensive play and keep the team competitive throughout the season.

Players to watch this fall include defenders Katie Zurek and Ally Bishop, midfielders Emily Rich, Amie Luton and Sophia Martin, as well as forward Emma St. Pierre.

SaranacÊ LakeÊ RedÊ Storm

Football

Head coach: Eric Bennett Assistant coaches: Jim Hayden, Wayde Montrol, Johnny Muldowney, Kyle Mochol, Josh Vaughn, Jake Vennie-Vollrath 2014 record: 9-2

The reigning Section VII Class C champions will look to defend their crown for the , but it’ll take replacing over a dozen seniors from a talented team to do so.

A year ago, Saranac Lake opened its season by allowing two mere safeties over the first four weeks of the season before finally surrendering a touchdown.

That was only the beginning of the excitement. Though the team’s unbeaten streak was snapped at five by Peru, the following week the Red Storm used a touchdown with under a minute remaining — followed by a gutsy onside kick recovery — to drop third-place Beekmantown.

And then came the hardware. Saranac Lake took the Mayor’s Cup in a crossover with Tupper Lake before dropping AuSable Valley in the Class C final. The next week, they avenged the previous year’s season-ender by beating an undefeated, top-10 in the state Ogdensburg team, before ultimately

falling in the state quarterfinals to Hoosick Falls.

“Won a number of close games that could have gone either way,” head coach Eric Bennett said of last season. “Proud of our kids’ resiliency and willingness to the little extras that help win close games.”

Those close games added up, as Saranac Lake capped off the year ranked fifth amongst all Class C teams in the state.

Now, with 14 seniors having graduated, duplicating 2014 would be no small feat — especially considering that among those departed were five All-State selections and honorable mentions.

Offensively, the Red Storm will look to senior quarterback and captain Tristin Fitzgerald — a third team All-State selection a year ago — to help march the team down the field.

Though targets like Alex Donaldson and Lucas Stack are gone, Fitzgerald still has a strong wideout in Joe Viscardo, while captains Drew Sturgeon, David Irvine and Dondi Duffy will lead the running attack.

The two-way players will also handle linebacker and defensive back positions for the Red Storm.

Bennett said this year’s team is showing strength in chem-

istry, work ethic and enthusiasm — qualities that may help offset an otherwise young team that will have to focus on the little things.

Saranac Lake may find itself in a preview of the Class C championship early on, as the team will open the season with a trip to Clintonville to face a Patriots squad poised to improve on its one-win campaign a year ago.

SaranacÊ LakeÊ RedÊ Storm

Girls Soccer Head coach: Bill Wilson 2014 record: 4-8-2

This season’s Lady Red Storm soccer team will field a deep roster, one that includes nine seniors, and look to build on a 2014 season that saw a tough finish.

Facing Plattsburgh in the sectional quarterfinals last October, Saranac Lake’s season came to an end after a third-overtime goal by Plattsburgh.

Despite the loss, last season saw lots of improvement as the Red Storm’s four victories helped put in the past a winless 2013 campaign.

Now 11 players — just shy of half of this year’s 23-player roster — bring previous varsity experience into the coming season.

As of press time, Bill Wilson had just assumed the role of head coach and was not yet able to provide more information.

The Lady Red Storm’s season kicks off Sept. 8 with a trip to defending Class B champion Beekmantown.

The 2014 Lady Red Storm volleyball team may have just gotten themselves into the win column, but it wasn’t for lack of effort.

Now, a team that was young a year ago brings more experience into the coming fall season.

Head coach Michael Navarra said that last year’s group was a hard-working one, which has in part helped translate into a current group he called more mature.

“We have increased their exposure to the sport of volleyball throughout the summer,” Navarra said, adding that a goal this year is “to have fun and be enthusiastic while giving our best effort in each match.”

One challenge this season will be replacing a talented senior a year ago in Katie Burgess, but three seniors and a junior class that goes 12-deep will look to do just that.

Momentum’s the word in Saranac Lake this fall.

Last year’s squad, a 6-11-1 team that fell to eventual state runner-up Beekmantown in the sectional semifinals, started one freshman and seven sophomores.

Now, despite several key losses, head coach Josh Marlow said that a strong core of players will look to build on momentum gained last season.

“Saranac Lake had a very young and inexperienced team last year,” said Marlow, who now has a team with seven seniors and 12 juniors.

The coach added that they’ll be looking to bring continued fluidity to their game, a push that will be lead by playersto-watch including captains JB Chapin, Ethan Wood, Charlie Carpenter and Justin Farmer, as well as sophomore Abri Newton.

Girls 2014 record: 8-12

A number of Red Storm harriers, both boys and girls, have their sights set on a strong season and state qualifiers this coming fall.

Head coach Joseph Merrihew said he’d like to see both teams competitive in Class C this season, and on the boys side, a “full and healthy team” consisting of lots of new talent will give that a go.

Freshman Anderson Gray began making a name for himself a year ago on both grass and the track, while Lauchlan Cheney-Seymour — a strong Nordic skier — is a promising newcomer. Captain Adam Branch, added Merrihew, is looking great after a strong summer. The team will have to replace Zane Pelletieri, but it appears the speed is there to do so.

The girls, meanwhile, will see strong depth help carry the team. Merrihew noted that the 12-deep team includes nine sophomores all vying for scoring spots. Seniors Johanna Mohrs and Jackie Garso, meanwhile, will lead in experience and talent.

“This may be a young and developing group, but they are willing to work hard and achieve success,” the coach said.

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett

Hunting & Fishing: Autumn on the rise

O

utdoor enthusiasts recently had an opportunity to enjoy some of the best weather available in the Adirondacks over the long, Labor Day weekend with blue skies, a warm sun and a gentle breeze making for pleasant outdoor travels. The trailheads were packed with hikers and it seemed there was a canoe or kayak atop every other vehicle on the road.. The waters were still warm enough for swimming, and cool evening temperatures seem to have taken a toll on the flying insects.

The hillsides are already providing evidence of autumn, as signs of fall color can be found from the bogs to the summits.

Brook trout are already sporting their bright crimson spawn garb, and I expect salmon will soon be getting ready for their annual, fall spawn run.

It will be very interesting to see how the salmon season shakes out on the Boquet River in Willsboro, following the removal of the old mill dam. For decades, salmon from the Big Lake have ventured upstream on their annual spawn run in their efforts to find suitable spawning beds.

Unfortunately, their annual trek has been hindered over the years by a variety of obstacles, ranging from low water levels, old dams and small armies of rod bearing anglers. Although there have been a variety of measures implemented to assist salmon with their annual upriver journey, including the development of a fish ladder; the majority of the silvery spawners were doomed to languish in a single small pool located about a 100 yards downstream from both the dam and the fish ladder.

Earlier in the week, I took a ride over to Willsboro to see the results of the dam removal. I was surprised to see the extent of the resulting mudflats, as well as the significant reduction in water levels. On the day of my visit, the sun was brilliant,

www.suncommunitynews.com

and the birds seemed to be having a field day feasting on the mussels, crayfish, minnows and a variety of other unfortunate creatures that were exposed by the diminished waters.

Downstream of the bridge in the middle of the village, the river appeared to be less than half its normal width. The mudflats extended upstream above the bridge, and beyond the firehouse, where former rapids appeared to be just a pile of boulders. While it is surely difficult for residents of the community to see their old river in such a disheveled state, it must also be exciting. There is already a small archeological display, where local residents have dragged the remains of a few old vehicles, barrels and what-not. There is no doubt the change is difficult, especially for those who must experience it in their own front or backyards. However, rivers can be very dynamic, as most North County residents know all too well, especially in light of the 500 year floods that have swept through the area in recent years.

With the dam removal, the river will eventually return to a natural state over the course of time. It has been flowing out of the Dix Range, in the High Peaks for eons and there is nothing mankind can do to stop it. Downstream of the dam site, the new water levels now allow visitors to inspect the ancient bedrock, where unique geological features such a �auger holes’ can be found. Dipping into the base of an auger hole will provide handfuls of smooth, round rocks that have been polished over the centuries.

While it is obvious there is much more work yet to be done on the site, I expect the project will eventually prove to be of great benefit to the community, the fish and the wildlife. It will be interesting to watch the various stages of the natural recovery process. I do hope plans include aggressive efforts to restore native vegetation along the newly exposed river corridor, before the current mud flats are overrun by an invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed, which has already choked off several sections of the river and a few of the smaller tributaries.

Downstream of the old dam, the river appears to be rehabbing quite well, although there is obviously much more work to be done in the ongoing effort to clean up the remains of the former industrial infrastructure that has been around for over two hundred years.

fishing license, you’re in for a real surprise. As the fishing begin season to winds down, and the prospect of hunting season looms on the near horizon, it is time for sportsmen, and women to purchase a new license. Due to the recent restructuring of the DECALS (DEC’s automated licensing system), the new license year for hunters began on September 1 and it will end on August 31 of 2016.

The new license structure which began on February 1, 2014, changes the types of licenses available and the fees associated with those licenses. These changes include reduced fees, reduced number of licenses and if you usually purchased a combination licenses, like a Super Sportsman, you will now have to purchase each privilege separately, including fishing.

It seems that just when we had finally figured out how to get the best deal on a combined hunting and fishing package, the rules were changed.

However, it is important to remember NY State still offers one of the best bargains in the country, when it comes to hunting, fishing and outdoor adventures. Where else can you legally set up a camp on state land for four months of the year, without paying any rent? Only during the hunting season� Combine the free camping with some very generous bag limits for fish, fowl, game as well as the free wild foragibles, and you’ve got the best outdoor deal in the country� Be advised that small game hunters seeking grouse or red squirrel prior to October 1, will need to have a current year, small game license. Likewise, bear hunters and early bow hunters must have a current year’s tag if they intend to hunt during the Early Bow season which begins on September 27.

The new system which will allow hunters to be in the woods from September 1 through August 30, will not permit hunters to carry over unused tags from last year’s season as it has in the past.

Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Licenses and the new hunting season If you have not yet purchased your annual hunting and

With the river corridor restored to a more natural state, the Boquet River may soon host a fresh run of landlocked salmon that will have the ability to migrate for many miles upstream during their annual spawning run.

Photo by Pete DeMola The new culvert, about 45 percent of which was funded by TNC grants (the rest comes from Essex County), also serves a practical purpose: the makeover reduces flood risk. The River Road culvert, in particular, has been particularly problematic over the years.

“It’ll make our lives 100 percent easier,” said Essex County Department of Public Works Director Chris Garrow.

Just that site has cost the county nearly $59,000 between 2003-13.

What typically happens with undersized culverts, Garrow explained, is that they buckle under heavy rains: the water needs to go somewhere, which is often onto the road. Banks erode.

And once the culvert gets taken, the road collapses.

Even the structures that don’t buckle experience scour, or the removal of sediment over time due to swiftly moving water.

“It’s crazy,” said Garrow. “The water finds the path of least resistance and it takes it out.”

After the damage comes the paperwork. Lots of it.

Intense storms are more frequent than they there were several years ago.

“The projections now are that that trend will continue,” said Brown. “Climate change is hard to get your head around, but something like this is just so tangible.”

New York is home to over 1 million culverts that connect thousands of stream segments.

Does Brown see the concept gaining traction elsewhere?

The response has been favorable from local municipalities, she said. The restraints are mostly budgetary.

Visit historic White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths.

White Pine Camp is an Adirondack Great Camp on Osgood Pond. It served as the Summer White House for US President Calvin Coolidge from July 7 through Sept. 18, 1926.

Adirondack Great Camps like White Pine Camp are grand and fanciful log mansions, built in the latter half of the 19th century along the rugged lake shores or mountain sides of upstate New York.

It was a time when cities were expanding and the natural world seemed too far away. The foremost families of the era — including the Coolidges — needed an escape, and suddenly found they had a yearning for wooded retreats of great but rustic comfort.

Wednesday tours are offered at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at White Pine Camp from June 17 to Sept. 30.

The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children. No reservations are required. Call 327-3030 for more information.
