State police to host open house Troop B celebrating 100 years of service By Keith Lobdell STA FF W RITER

RAY BROOK | From the southern edge of the Adirondack Park to the Canadian border, Troop B of the New York State Police (NYSP) has been here to serve the community since 1917. To celebrate, an open house celebration will be held at their Ray Brook headquarters on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. “We are opening our doors up to people so they can see what we do and how we do it,” said Troop B Commander John Tibbitts. “It’s also a chance to keep our relationship with the community strong because this has been a great area to the state police and we have had a great bond with the communities we serve.” The day will feature a tour and demon-

HISTORY OF TROOP B The open house in Ray Brook is part of a celebration of the NYSP centennial happening state-wide throughout 2017. The state police were formed in response to the 1913 murder of Sam Howell, a construction foreman, according to the state police’s official website. When local law enforcement were unable to catch all the suspects, his employer, Miss Newell, was outraged. With the assistance of her friend, author Katherine Mayo, Newell started the campaign to establish a force that would provide police protection to rural areas in New York. The first fatality in the line of fire in the current Troop B boundaries was when James Nathan Skiff was riding in a motorcycle side car in the city of Ogdensburg. The side car was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a trolley car on May 19, 1920. Skiff never regained consciousness and

died on May 25, becoming the first state police member to be killed in the line of duty. The most recent Troop B death in the line of duty was Trooper Brian S. Falb, who died from cancer stemming from his assignment to the World Trade Center site following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Troop B, also known as the Black Horse Troop, was the third to have a mounted patrol, which was done away with in 1948. Notable Troop B moments include the Ganienkeh Settlement occupation from 1973 to 1977; the eight-day manhunt for serial killer Robert Garrow in 1973; providing security and support for the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid; assisting and aiding those in need during the 1998 Ice Storm; sending a response team to New York City in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks and, most recently, the manhunt for two escaped Clinton Correctional Facility convicts in 2015. ■

Saranac Lake Chamber announces new director Adrienne Relyea takes reigns

Attendees will also get a chance to see the new memorial garden with commemorative bricks. The troop reconstructed the area around the flag poles at Ray Brook as part of the event. The grassy area is now replaced with engraved pavers to memorialize the service of those members, sworn and non-sworn, who have worked in Troop B. “Similar to war memorials and other police memorials in New York and across the nation, our vision is that this monument will permanently preserve, with dignity and respect, state police service to Troop B,” said Tibbitts in a statement.

Relyea lives in Vermontville with her two daughters, Emma and Kathryn, and dog, Piper. ■

An open house event will be held at the Troop B headquarters in Ray Brook on Saturday, Sept. 23, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. to celebrate a century of service to the North Country.

EMS plan calls for more mutual aid By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | The Essex County EMS Strategic Plan just released would initially coordinate more mutual aid between ambulance squads and support that with a countywide state ambulance operating certificate. Project Director Paul Bishop of the Rochester-based Center for Government Research said the 25-page report was prepared jointly with the County EMS Advisory Committee. “We’re going to be focusing on some of these solutions we have and what the next step might be,” he told the County Board of Supervisor Public Safety Committee, who unanimously endorsed the study. Their mission was to find a way to provide timely, highquality professional emergency medical care and transport to people in Essex County, Bishop said. “The EMS system is struggling,” he said. “If you call 911 today you’ll get help, but it’s not necessarily the best system that will get it to you. EMS has been a volunteer organization. Each community has been handling it their own way. “Now is the time to act. This is the time to think about bringing this together in one cohesive organization.” The goal is no longer just picking people up and taking them to the hospital, he said. “One of the suggestions from the committee is to actually provide some ambulance coverage from the county,” he said. “Right now they (911 dispatchers) drop a tone and they wait and wait. At the four minute mark, the recommendation is going to be start requesting mutual aid. We want to get that prompt response.” Help in 8 minutes, an ambulance in 12 minutes is the target for life-threatening emergencies. Training more EMTs is also needed, he said, with courses provided by the state Department of Health. “The county of Essex has the opportunity to declare (for) themselves an ambulance operating certificate for the whole county,” Bishop said. “It also allows you to allocate your resources more efficiently. If you have a countywide

Chase also hosts a comic con event in Saratoga and felt expansion to Plattsburgh was ideal. “We started working on this last year when we got the dates,” Chase said. “We have built everything up with resources we have through the Saratoga event and wanted to bring a big event here, which will bring in thousands to the community. We have heard from a lot of people who shared our interest in having a show here.”

WWE wrestler Gene Snisky; Marvel and DC artist Rusty Gilligan; former Disney sculptor Erik Johnsen and Jay Mooers from Eden Park Tales. “We wanted to have people who brought something from all the areas of popular culture,” Chase said. “We didn’t want just an artist show or a celebrity show; we wanted a show that had everything.” Also set to be at the event are cosplay groups the Montreal X-Men and the Star Wars 501st, along with Jennard Cosplays, The True Mr. J, Coach Moses and R.W. Martin. “The Montreal X-Men will also be there to raise funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention,” Chase said. “They always have a good response when they show up.” Along with the pros of cosplay, there will also be a chance for those in attendance to compete in cosplay contests during the event. There will also be vendor space, guest artists, celebrities, gaming, Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart tournaments, panels, events, tattooing, live podcasts, the Jurassic Park Jeep, 1966 Batmobile, 1967 Chevy Impala from Supernatural, Star Wars Landspeeder and other pop culture lore.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

United we stand It’s been a strange year full of turmoil that hasn’t always brought out the best among our countrymen. By Dan Alexander While so many of • PUBLISHER • our fellow citizens in Texas, Louisiana and now Florida and the southeast are facing catastrophic issues as a result of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, these storms force our nation to unite and work for the common good. Earlier this week, we remembered another catastrophic event that united our country in a common mission. It seems when our backs are up against the wall or when we are at the mercy of events beyond our control is when we are at our best supporting each other. Sadly, it shouldn’t take events like these to help us realize we how fortunate we are to live in this country. We see generous people who readily rally around those who are at risk and acts of kindness are so abundant we tend to take them granted. There will always but those who see opportunity in the suffering of others, but those are few and far between. The most important points we need to take away from these events and attempt to apply them in different areas are these: • We need to be far more careful with how we label or classify people into set categories. • The vast majority of us are like minded, hard working, and good people despite our political, religious, nationality or any other persuasion one might like to use. • As individuals, until you get to know someone, none of us know what’s in a person heart or mind just by looking at them. Each is unique and deserves an opportunity to be heard. • We must find ways to better communicate our differences without causing offense or taking offense. • We create laws for a reason and these laws must be equitable and followed by all whether we agree with them or not. • We each have an obligation to be a productive member of society and do our part to support the nation in good and in more trying times. Citizenship comes with certain responsibilities. While we enjoy many freedoms, we should never consider ourselves free to do as we please, especially when we see others in great need, needing only a hand up during these most unusual circumstances. ■

Guest Viewpoint

We need to talk about race, even in the North Country

Charlottesville is nowhere near my hometown of Crown Point, New York. Yet the recent acts of racist violence in Virginia stirred up a deep By Daniel Anello and familiar tension. • GUEST COLUMNIST • I spent a week trying to identify where I remembered this sense of anxiety from. Then I heard an interview on the radio with a gentleman from Mineville, less than 10 miles from where I grew up, and realized that gnawing feeling was the same one I felt as a teenager growing up here. You see, I was the black kid. There is some irony in the fact that I am actually mixed— my dad is Italian. But when you are one of so few people of color and you have an afro, those nuances get lost. The fi rst time I recognized this difference was on my very first bus ride to first grade, when a second-grader serenaded me with the “N” word for 40 minutes on the way to school. By age 10, I knew whose house or pool was “off limits” because of the color of my skin. I didn’t give it a second thought. It was just the way it was. In high school, things became much harder. I learned that the color of my skin was an invitation to bodily harm. I had to “keep my head on a swivel,” knowing that

my presence might provoke trouble when I was at a dance, a game, or just walking to a friend’s house. I quickly learned that after a soccer game, many on the opposing team would avoid shaking my hand. I accepted that I couldn’t date certain girls. I learned to defend myself out of necessity. And now? To be honest, the N-word still sends a shiver down my spine. To this day, it is a powerful tool to dehumanize black people, and I am no less vulnerable. Th is brings me back to that radio interview, in which a guy from the North Country talked about race in a way that misses the bigger conversation happening in our country today. Charlottesville was a reminder of the threat that can exist simply by being different. In order to be the America we want to be we have to denounce white supremacist hate groups without hesitation. And we have to hold accountable anyone who fails to do so—even our president. In the same way my childhood friends Nathan and Anita would shut down bigots in my defense, our country needs all of us to stand up against these hate groups and those who tacitly allow them to persist. I get it — talking about civil rights probably feels irrelevant in the North Country. Perhaps it even feels threatening if you aren’t black or brown.

Letters to the Editor

Publisher was misguided in last week’s column

To the Editor: The commentary of Dan Alexander in the Aug. 24 publication is very odd, seemingly uneducated. “The national media love stories that shake the core of middle America.” Our national reporters cover the who, what, when, where and why of news. If a man gets up and takes the bus to work, that is not news. If the man gets up and pulls a gun on the bus driver, that is news. If he gets hit by the bus, that is news. If he stands in front of the bus protesting, that is news. You say these things “drive viewership.” Drive them where? An informed citizenship is necessary for justice and fairness. Having a free press is really the court of last resort. You say “the media promotes highly charged subjects.” The media reports on, not promotes. The headline of your commentary was “Misguided Efforts.” I still do not know who you think was misguided and what behaviors (efforts) they exhibited to cause this judgment. Is it the city councils that have to consider moving the statues off the public squares to museums or is the protesters wanting such

But please keep in mind that this conversation about race emerged because of the same things I confronted in high school. And in cities like Chicago, where I now live and work, that threat of physical harm is multiplied by a thousand. Lives are at stake. We are better than what happened in Charlottesville. We need more of what is in the pictures coming out of the rescue efforts in Houston than what we saw in Virginia. We need to see each other’s humanity and embrace our differences. That’s America. So, here’s my simple request: Find someone different from you, introduce yourself, and spend some time with them. Get to know them. Embrace humanity. Most importantly, vocally denounce racism in any form, like my good friends have on my behalf countless times. I loved growing up in the Adirondacks. I love visiting to share it with my family. I love the people—for their warmth and welcoming nature. So I hope you will hear me as one of your own.

Despite strides forward, racism lives

To the Editor: Dan Alexander employs a facile trope to support his assertion that the death knell of institutional racism sounded long ago (“Nothing to Prove,” Sept. 9). The argument that the obstacles and injustices expressed by nonwhites are imagined or exaggerated, and can be remedied simply by minorities applying themselves more diligently, is a comforting bedtime story righteously told by those with privilege. It is used to negate troublesome realities, including the disproportionate number of African-Americans and Hispanics who are incarcerated; racial wage inequality (which impacts women twofold); the inherent bias in voter ID laws, and a higher education infrastructure which still perpetuates white dominance. It is the dismissive, self-serving talk of those who hold power; a lie fed to minorities and the underprivileged of any ilk the world over with the intention of provoking internalized oppression, and

(TL)

thereby diverting the focus away from the real culprits: institutional discrimination, socially acceptable racism, and a continued power imbalance. It destroys the cornerstones of equal opportunity and the potential for progress and upward mobility, and simultaneously explains away social stagnation and struggling communities as being a result of the group’s refusal to succeed and “achieve their dreams.” The most insidious outcome of this line of reasoning is that it forms the underpinnings of the myth of ethno-racial hierarchy. Mr. Alexander suggests we operate on the premise that President Obama’s election signaled the advent of racial equality. If we do so, then we must continue demonstrating how Trump’s signals its disappearance. Indeed, by focusing on Obama as a quintessential example of what non-whites in this country are up against, we are presented with the distasteful truth: the individual who launched a racist, and borderline seditious, crusade accusing the 44th President of lying about his citizenship and religion, now occupies the White House.

Alumnus donates $1 million to Paul Smith’s Funds will renovate state-of-the-art chemistry labs

Think the passion for a printed newspaper in the digital age...

Think again!

By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

BEING THE HOMETOWN PAPER IS STILL SPECIAL There is nothing as unique, far reaching and wonderful as the hometown newspaper. It offers tradition, credibility, depth of detail, a permanent record and something to interest every age. Newspapers are the ONLY media that create public consensus and enforces a true sense of community in our hometowns. Local businesses want to promote themselves locally with creative ideas and accurate consumer information that provides the residents to shop with confidence and helps drive the local economy. WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE AND HAVE A REAL PASSION FOR THE SERVICES WE RENDER Knowledge is power. The more you know about an advertiser’s dreams, needs and future plans the more we can assist them in filling those dreams. It’s those dream and their drive that helps power the local economy, support community service organizations and events and helps make our community the very special and unique place we all call home. WE BELIEVE A LOCALLY OWNED NEWSPAPER IS A POWERFUL LOCAL TOOL Believe in our newspaper and the many individuals that we serve with the news, features, values, entertainment and keepsakes we deliver each week. We never stop looking for new ways to improve our creative services and serve the region in a way no short lived digital website from who knows where can ever replace. PAUL SMITH’S | Former International Paper (IP) President, COO and CEO John Dillon has given $1 million to renovate chemistry laboratories at Paul Smith’s College (PSC). Dillon graduated from the college in 1958 and has long been a benefactor to programs there. The $1 million gift will provide stateof-the-art chemistry facilities, according to Professor Jorie Favreau, who is chairwoman of the Department of Natural Sciences. “Our students’ understanding of chemistry is integral to protecting our natural resources, whether they use it to ameliorate the effects of mercury on loons or other chemical interactions in our air, water or soil,” she said. “I am grateful for John Dillon’s commitment to educating the future professionals who will protect our environment for generations to come.” IP built John Dillon Park, which is run by the college, after Dillon retired from leadership at the company in 2003. The camping and recreation area is handicapped accessible. In announcing the $1 million gift last week, PSC recognized it as the largest donation ever from a Paul Smith’s alumnus and announced that the renovated labs will be named the John T.

PSC President Dr. Cathy Dove said Dillon has provided both leadership and steadfast support to the college for many years. “His career, service as a member of the college’s board of trustees and long history of giving are inspiring. We are so grateful to John for all he has done to support Paul Smith’s College and its great mission,” she said.

Legislative Thoughts

Showcasing, touring North Country assets As a legislator, I make it a point to stay accessible and By Assemblyman available to my Billy D. Jones • GUEST COLUMNIST • constituents. Earlier this year, I pledged to make scheduled stops in every town throughout the 115th Assembly District. Throughout the past several months, I’ve had time to attend many events, meet with hundreds of constituents and visit most of the 37 towns that I represent. In the month of August, I traveled to 14 towns throughout Clinton and Franklin counties. While on the road, I met with local officials to discuss the state of their infrastructure, funding opportunities for local projects and the needs of their respective communities. I also got a chance to visit many small businesses and employers that are vital to the economic development of Clinton County. In Franklin County, I held several town hall meetings and met with local officials to discuss their plans to allocate CHIPs and Pave NY funding to repair local roads and bridges. Since taking office, I have made lasting partnerships with legislators at both the state and federal level to get more done for our communities. This past month, I was honored to welcome a few of those legislators to the North Country. On Aug. 1, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie made a trip to the 115th Assembly District. During his visit, we toured a few of the area’s biggest employers, including Bombardier Transportation, NovaBus and Norsk Titanium. Speaker Heastie and I also went to SUNY Plattsburgh to talk to students about the Equal Opportunity Program’s impact on them and why it is so important to maintain funding for this program statewide. We ended the day with a boat tour of Lake Champlain, which gave me an opportunity to show off one of the North Country’s most impressive natural resources. Later in the month, Assemblyman Steve Englebright, Chairman of the Committee on Environmental Conservation, visited the district as well. While he was in the region we sat down with the Adirondack Council and other local officials to discuss some of the challenges and issues the residents are facing. We also went to Paul Smith’s College, Camp Gabriels, Debar Lodge and Eagle Island to help demonstrate the beauty and potential of towns in the North Country. Showing two key Assembly leaders what the North Country has to offer is a unique opportunity for our district. With roughly a dozen more scheduled stops in the month of September, I look forward to continuing to learn about the needs of our communities and the ways I can help secure funding and support to strengthen our neighborhoods. The North Country is our home, and I’ll always work to make it the best place for our families. ■ — Assemblyman Billy D. Jones represents the 115th Assembly District, encompassing Clinton and Franklin counties, as well as the towns of Brasher, Hopkinton, Lawrence and Piercefield in St. Lawrence County.

Olympic area welcomes fall in flurry of activity Brew fest, Oktoberfest and ski jumping highlight three weeks of events

River Brewing, Admissions vary from designated driver to VIP. For more information, visit whiteface. com/events/lake-placid-brewfest.

OKTOBERFEST

ELIZABETHTOWN | The towns of Lake Placid and Wilmington will welcome the fall season again this year with a flurry of events and activities, as the next three weeks will be filled with events throughout the region. The Lake Placid Brewfest will take place this Saturday, Sept. 23, followed by the annual Whiteface Oktoberfest Sept. 30-Oct. 1, and culminating with the annual Flaming Leaves Festival at the Olympic ski jumping complex Oct. 7-8. “Whatever summer season we had was kind of short, so this is a chance to transition into the fall season and celebrate the things we have here in the region,” ORDA communications director Jon Lundin said. “It helps to get everyone ready for the winter and ski season, whether it be a Whiteface or Van Hoevenburg.”

While focusing on the classic aspects of an Oktoberfest, the Whiteface version offers entertainment for the entire family, including free admission for anyone 12 and under. Events begin at noon Sept. 30 with drinking games and entertainment by Jason and Owen Smith. Throughout the day, there will be an adventure zone, Meriloons and Friends, Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehabilitation displays and live music from bands such as Spitzel, Alpenland Taenzer and die Schlauberger. The High Peaks Little Circus will also perform at 12:30 and 3:30 p.m., with a fireworks show, presented by KOA, to end the evening at 7 p.m. Many of the same events will be apart of day two of the fest on Sunday, Oct. 1, including games, performances by High Peaks Little Circus, and activities. Tickets are available online, along with a special promotion for a free one-day admission and gondola ride for those who have purchased a Whiteface/Mt. Van Hoevenburg season pass. For more information, visit whiteface.com/ events/oktoberfest.

The sixth annual Brewfest will take place Saturday, Sept. 23, in the 1932 Rink at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid. Brewers from across the nation will be at the event, along with a host of local brewers including ADK Cider, Adirondack Brewery, Ausable Brewing Company, Big Slide Brewery, Big Tupper Brewery, Lake Placid Pub and Brewery, Livingoods Brewing, Paradox Brewery, Plattsburgh Brewing and Raquette

The New York Ski Education Foundation’s (NYSEF) k90 Ski Jumping Competition and U.S. Ski Jumping Championships headline the annual Flaming Leaves Festival, set for Saturday, Oct. 7, through Sunday, Oct. 8. “The U.S. championships will help determine the international team,” Lundin said. “This is an event completely unique to Lake Placid, where you can see world-class ski jumpers where there at a venue without

snow cover yet, For a lot of people it is the first time they have had a chance to see ski jumping up close and it is an amazing sport.” Along with action on the ski jumps, there will be a craft fair and children’s games, chances to take the chairlift/elevator ride to the top of the 120-meter jump, and entertainment. The Jonathan Newell Band will play between competition rounds Oct. 7, with jumping starting at noon and NYSEF jumps taking place at 3:30 and 4:45 p.m. A fireworks celebration will end the day at 7 p.m.

Jumping will start at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 8 with trial rounds, followed by championship rounds at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. For more information, visit whiteface.com/events/flamingleaves-festival. ■ The Whiteface/Lake Placid Olympic region will once again ring in the fall season with a trio of events, including the Lake Placid Bewfest, Whiteface Oktoberfest and Flaming Leaves ski jumping competitions.

Highlights In the cross country rivalry between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, the Red Storm boy’s team took the first test of the year, winning By Keith Lobdell the Section VII invi• SPORTS EDITOR • tational meet Sept. 9 with a strong performance. Anderson Gray of the Red Storm finished third overall and was the second best Section VII runner behind Seton Catholic star Caleb Moore. Scotty Schulz of Lake Placid finished 15 seconds behind Gray for fourth place, while Tyler Martin (7th), Micah McCulley (8th), Peter Fogarty (11th) and James Catania (14th) all finished ahead of the next Lake Placid runner Jesse Izzo (15th). The two teams will have met again at print time with Saranac Lake hosting the Blue Bombers along with the Emus and Northeastern Clinton Sept. 12. Saranac Lake started their CVAC season 2-0 with wins over Peru and Beekmantown Sept 5 (Gray, Lauchlan Cheney-Seymour and McCulley took the top three spots), while Lake Placid started 4-0 with wins over Ticonderoga, EKMW, Schroon Lake and Plattsburgh High. In girls cross country, the Lady Blue Bombers also started the season 4-1, falling to Seton Catholic Sept. 5. Marli Damp recorded a top five finish for the Blue Bombers in a time of 22:18. For Saranac Lake, Madison Grimmone scored a win in the tri-match with Beekmantown and Peru, but scored a 1-1 split, defeating the Eagles.

RED STORM FALL LATE

The Saranac Lake football team was in a tight game for the second week in a row against a Class C opponent, this time Sept. 9 against Saranac. DJ Morgan found Jarrett Ashton for a 42-yard touchdown strike with 2:17 remaining in the game to give

the Red Storm a 29-28 lead as the team had scored 13 unanswered in the fourth quarter to take the led. It was short lived, however, as Luke Maye found Jake Nolan on a 56-yard scoring play 30 seconds later to give the Chiefs a 34-29 win. Ashton finished scoring all four Red Storm (0-2) touchdowns, totaling 53 receiving yards and 177 on the ground with three scores. Morgan had 127 pass yards to go with 115 rushing yards in the game. The Red Storm next travel to Peru (0-2) Saturday, Sept. 16 as the Indians come off a 1-point, overtime loss against Beekmantown.

LADY BOMBERS START STRONG

The Lake Placid varsity girls soccer team started the season out with a pair of victories as Lindsey Rath scored what proved to be the gamewinning goal in the 40th minute off a Megan Byrne assist as they defeated the Chazy Eagles Sept. 5. Shelby Jewtraw had six saves in the game, while she recorded six saves in the team’s 3-1 win over Ticonderoga as Lydia Bullock, Natalie Tavares and Beatrice Hollander all scored. Meanwhile, the boy’s team dropped 3-0 game against Chazy, while the volleyball team dropped a pair of contests to Saranac (3-0) and PHS (3-1). Graci Daby had 14 kills between the two games, while Laurel Miller had 13 assists against the Lady Hornets.

RED STORM VOLLEYBALL NOTCHES WIN

The Lady Red Storm scored a 3-1 win over AuSable Valley to open the CVAC volleyball season, as Maddie Gay served six aces in the win. The Red Storm boy’s soccer team also scored a win, beating Saranac for the second time this season by a score of 2-0 with Owen Yando and Dzihad Cecunjanin each scoring goals and Brett Dawson making eight saves in the win. The Lady Red Storm were not as fortunate, falling to Saranac, 5-0. Anna Ellithorpe had 21 saves in the loss. ■

Remarkable recovery AuSable Valley football player details journey from near-death back to football field By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

CLINTONVILLE | For AuSable Valley junior varsity football center Ben Sprague, the 2017 football season will be a special one as it kicked off with the first game of the year Sept. 1. “Center is a new position, but just being back on the field was another matter all by itself,” the 15 year-old freshman said. “It’s truly astonishing when I think about where I came from to get out here so quickly.” That’s because there almost wasn’t a football season, or anything else, for him less than one year ago. After a practice injury led to a staph infection, Sprague found himself in a medicalinduced coma, near death and needing open heart surgery just to stay alive. “I had no idea what was going on until my parents told me,” Sprague said. “I just kept thinking, how did this happen. I was in such great shape and was as healthy as I have ever been. At the time, I don’t think I had any thoughts. I was just in shock.”

INJURY, ILLNESS

Sprague started last year’s football season like every other player, attending practice and playing in the first two games of the season. Then, Sprague injured his groin muscle in a practice. Thinking nothing of it, he kept trying to practice but noticed he was more and more tired and also feeling more pain from his injury. “The coaches kept asking me if I was okay, and I would say that I was, but in reality, I couldn’t lift my leg above my waist,” he said.

Sprague also said he was not eating like normal, taking a couple bites of a meal and throwing the rest away. That continued until one morning when Ben’s father, B.J., tried to wake him up. “We were supposed to clean the chicken coops that day,” Sprague said. “My dad started to try and wake me up at 8 a.m., but, from what they told me, I didn’t get out of bed until 8 p.m.” That was when B.J. noticed a shocking wound. “He had to carry me downstairs,” Ben said. “He took off my shirt, and my whole chest was yellow. That’s when my parents knew they had to do something.” B.J. and mother Chelsea took Ben to the University of Vermont Medical Center Elizabethtown Community Hospital where he was first transferred to their main campus in Burlington before being sent to New York City via Life Flight where he received several surgeries, including open heart, to help counter the infection.

MAKE-A-WISH

While Sprague was in the hospital, there was another football player there to get back surgery — Houston Texans All-Pro defensive lineman J.J. Watt. “My father told me he was getting back surgery,” said Sprague. “After, my mom had signed me up for the Make-A-Wish program, and I told her I would like to meet J.J. and go to a game.” His wish came true but not in the way he thought it would. “They said at first he did not have time to meet with us, but we could go to a game and meet the rest of the Texans,” Sprague said. The day of meeting the team, the Spragues were at the zoo before when Ben’s mother got the call saying J.J. had a few hours to meet with us, but she never told her son. “The first time I knew I was going to meet him was when I was shaking his hand and

saying hello,” Sprague said. “We were eating lunch in the team cafeteria, and someone came in through the back door. I thought it may be (then Texans quarterback Brock) Osweiler because everyone stopped what they were doing and just watched the person who came in. Then I realized who it was.” Sprague got a chance to talk with the larger-than-life defender and found out they had something in common. “When he asked what had happened, I told him. That’s when he said he had gone through the same type of staph infection, which almost ended his career.”

RECOVERY

Once Sprague fully knew what was going on and what his body had just been through, he had one main thought. “I got to start moving my legs and getting motion back,” he said. “I wanted to get my mind back in the right place, and I wanted to get back into shape.” After he was released after a month in the NYC hospital, Sprague started to train.

“My parents, siblings, coaches, teammates and all the students here had my back,” he said. “Everyone was motivating me.” Sprague also said he kept thinking about the conversation he had with Watt. “This did change me because now I know it’s not all about the fact you are in great shape and that when you stay in shape, you don’t get sick,” he said. “In meeting J.J. and hearing his story, it has been a huge inspiration and motivation for me to get back to the game I love.” Once cleared by doctors, Sprague was able to do just that, making the Patriots JV season opener and wearing a new number on his jersey. 99. The same as J.J. Watt. ■ “I started loving this game when I was a child,” said Ben Sprague, who has come a long way from a medically-induced coma and open heart surgery due to a staff infection in the fall of last year to being able to return to the sport he loves for his team’s season opener Sept. 1.

» Olsen Cont. from pg. 1 While in that post, she managed 23 state programs with 46 nature centers. Olsen had worked with Audubon’s Flyway since 2009 and spent four years prior as vice president of field operations for Audubon. Before her tenure at Audubon, she spent 14 years working with TNC, four as deputy director of the Asia Pacific Region, where she established the first program in Australia, according to her professional biography at Audubon. She had worked 10 years, from 1989 to 1999, as director of TNC’s Eastern New York Chapter. While there, she developed the chapter from a volunteer staff into an office with 17 personnel. “Olsen, who brings to the position regional, national and international conservation experience and an extensive leadership track record, looks forward to applying her skills in the Adirondacks, with its unique mixture of vast, protected forests and rural communities,” TNC said, in a statement announcing the hire late in August. “I have worked in so many beautiful places in the United States and around the globe but my heart has always been in the Adirondacks,” Olsen said. Olsen’s post-graduate work some years ago had focused on ecological economics and land use in the Lake George Basin, helping launch the Lake George Land Conservancy.

Michael Carr, renowned throughout the park for his conservation work — particularly with Finch, Pruyn & Company land transfers to state land management. Carr spent 16 years leading TNC’s Adirondack Chapter and has since taken the helm of the Adirondack Land Trust, based in Keene. According to their statement, TNC has been operating in the Adirondacks since 1971. To date, the conservation group has fostered protections for 585,000 acres, including Boreas Ponds, Lake Lila, and Lyon Mountain. The conservation group has also launched several key stewardship programs, including the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program.

“This is an exciting time for the Nature Conservancy and we welcome Peg to our talented Adirondack team,” Sarah Underhill, chairwoman of the Adirondack chapter’s Board of Trustees, said of expanding conservation strategies here. Olsen holds a Ph.D. in Ecological Economics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI); a Master of Science degree in Urban and Environmental Studies, also from RPI; and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of New Hampshire. ■ Dr. Peg Olsen is the new executive director of the Adirondack Chapter of the Nature Conservancy. Olsen took the position after spending 14 years as chief conservation officer for the National Audubon Society and vice president of the society’s Atlantic Flyway.
