Judge rules against Paul Smith’s name change By Karen Vande Kieft
suncommunitynews@suncommunitynews.com
PAUL SMITHS — After a hard fought battle, the petition to rename Paul Smith’s College has been denied by state Supreme Court Judge John Ellis. After reviewing what Ellis wrote was a “significant amount of financial information” including the college’s tax returns, he found that college trustees had failed to demonstrate that the $20 million donation from benefac-
tor Joan Weill was critical to saving the college financially, and thus a name change is not warranted. Weill had made adding her name to that of the college a condition of the $20 million donation, but standing in the way was a provision in the will of college founder Phelps Smith which states the college should forever be known as Paul Smith’s College of Arts and Sciences. College trustees argued that the name change, and corresponding donation from
Weill, were crucial to keeping the doors open at Paul Smith’s. But Ellis disagreed. Ellis said there is insufficient evidence that Weill’s donation — as well as the college’s 5-year strategic plan, which includes a $30 million revitalization plan aimed at addressing decreasing enrollment — is the only effective way to “stabilize the college’s finances.” Therefore, the college failed to prove that the naming restriction in the will of Phelps Smith should be ignored, Ellis wrote.

Supreme Court: Best two out of four
Humble Hero
Four candidates are running for two state supreme court seats By Pete DeMola
“I can’t see why I did anything out of the ordinary,” says World War II vet
ELIZABETHTOWN — Before he heads to Washington, DC this Saturday, Thomas Buckley just has one question: “Why is my opinion important?” Buckley says his stint in World War II was nothing more than a vacation — a way Pete for a self-described hick like himself to DeMola Editor spend a week in Switzerland before heading off to Italy. The honor and accolades — a police escort to Plattsburgh, parade and day spent taking in capital memorials — is unwarranted, he said. Buckley, 89, first heard about Pearl Harbor as a teenager cruising back from his uncle’s place on Silver Lake. But the Plattsburgh native was too young to be drafted. That had to wait until July 1945, just before Japan quit. After making his way through a series of stateside camps for training — Shanks, Jackson — the 19-year-old found himself headed to Italy on the SS Blue Ridge Victory. Buckley arrived in a destroyed train station in Naples. The windows and roof were blown out and survivors took refuge in the remnants.
“...the petitioner falls far short of showing that its name is holding the college back from being a shining success both in enrollment and in producing successful college graduates,” Ellis wrote. “Significantly, Paul Smith’s has failed to demonstrate the college cannot operate effectively within that changing demographic absent the requested relief.” President of Paul Smith’s College, Cathy Dove, was unavailable for comment, however, Shannon Oborne, chief marketing officer at Paul Smith’s, released a written statement.

From there, he took a troop train to Cividale, a mountain town on the border with Yugoslavia. “It was pretty bleak,” Buckley recalled. “The railroad tracks were shot to hell and there wasn’t too much left of them.” His assignment was to drive a truck hauling materials used for reconstructive efforts, bridges and roads.

ELIZABETHTOWN — With three weeks until Election Day, the four candidates running for State Supreme Court justice in the Fourth Judicial District are busy traversing a sprawling district in the search for votes. The district, one of 13 in the state, spans from Schenectady to the Canadian border. It includes Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington counties. That’s 26 percent of the state’s land mass. Judges face mandatory retirement at 70. This year’s two court vacancies are due to the retirements of justices David R. Demarest, of Potsdam, and David B. Krogmann, of Warren County. The four-way run-off will see the top two vote-getters win the seats. MARTIN AUFFREDOU, Warren County Auffredou, who currently serves as the Warren County Attorney, has been endorsed by both the Conservative and Republican parties. “It’s a huge territory,” Auffredou told Essex County Republicans at their annual dinner last month. “This is an enormous >> Story Continued | pg. 7

Local editor Andy Flynn working on book on bluegrass band By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
ELLENBURG DEPOT — While wrapping up a book on the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, local author Andy Flynn pondered his next project. In July 2012, Flynn attended a Lake Placid performance by the Gibson Brothers. It was a performance that left an impression so strong that he decided to make them his next big project. “I was just very impressed and blown away,” said Flynn. “I had seen them before, but I had a feeling there was a story there... a bigger story than just a couple guys making music.” In April 2013, Flynn approached the brothers, who are from Ellenburg Depot, about writing the book. They accepted and Flynn is now working with the pair, Eric and Leigh, to produce the book, which is tentatively titled “Breakthrough: The Gibson Brothers Story.” “Leigh and I are excited that Andy is writing this book about us,” Eric said. “He is a wonderful writer and a soulful human being.” Flynn, who focuses primarily on Adirondack history, traveled north from his home in Saranac Lake to find the Gibson Brother’s story from their humble beginnings of playing in fiddle contests, field days and a church in their hometown of Ellenburg Depot to hosting the International Bluegrass Music Awards on Oct. 1. He covered his first Gibson Brothers concert
for the book in Old Forge a month after the duo decided to work with him. More recently, he traveled to the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival to interview the entire band and covered the IBMA Awards Show and the Gibson Brothers concert during the Wide Open Bluegrass event on Oct. 1 and 2. “It’s one thing seeing it on TV or a laptop, and it’s another thing being there in person and actually reporting on it,” Flynn said. “I feel really strongly that I needed to be there.” For the past two years, Flynn’s time has been filled with travel, research, interviews and transcribing notes, with some writing on the side. However, the bills are mounting for travel, research and production costs. While working on this book, Flynn has been working at the Lake Placid News as an editor, doing extra writing projects and selling his books to pay for these expenses. To help with costs, Flynn started a GoFundMe account to raise $12,000. He hopes to complete the book by next summer. “Though I’ve been spending a lot of time raising funds, I work on the book every week, every day — it’s always on my mind,” Flynn said. “The donations would support me telling their story and their story is important.” To make a donation or to learn more about the book, visit gofundme.com/pt2m8jms. “I have read the book’s introduction,” Eric said. “If the rest of it is anywhere close to being as good as the intro is, then this will be one fine read.”

USA Luge opens sliding season LAKE PLACID — USA Luge Olympian Aidan Kelly took the first official run of the season Thursday morning on the mile-long track of ice on Mount Van Hoevenberg. With the sun shining and temperatures in the low 30s, Kelly, of West Islip, N.Y., a competitor in Sochi, went through the 19-turn luge course against a backdrop of blazing fall colors. “It was a great morning,” said Kelly, whose 2014-2015 World Cup campaign was curtailed due to injury. “It feels good to be back after a long off-season. It’s nice to know I remember how to slide. The track was amazing. It was way faster than any of us expected. The track crew did a ton of work to get it fast for us.” Kelly had three of his Sochi teammates, among others, join him for the first day of fall training. The athletes completed four runs each before giving way to United States bobsledders. “In past years I’ve always been really nervous for the first run of the season,” remarked Summer Britcher, of Glen Rock, Pennsylvania, whose career best fourth place came last winter in the Winterberg, Germany World Cup race. “It felt really fast (in the past). This season it was kind of like riding a bike. I got up to the start handles and I was ready to slide. Right from the first run I felt really comfortable.” Matt Mortensen and Jayson Terdiman are starting their second season as a doubles unit. They competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics with different doubles teammates. “We’re coming into the season knowing we slide really good together,” said Mortensen, of Huntington Station, N.Y. “For us today was all about what the track was going to be like. The guys out here did a great job. Jayson and I had a really good session. We’re starting the season on a really good foot.” The twosome finished seventh in the World Cup rankings last winter and anchored three U.S. medals in the team relay. “This is absolutely the best first day conditions I’ve ever felt in Lake Placid,” added Terdiman, of Berwick, Pennsylvania. “I was really super happy with how consistent we were today. Between runs the track didn’t slow down or speed up that much. To see that is a big confidence boost for me.” The team will train daily through October, and will be joined later this week by teammates who are now returning to Lake Placid from Lillehammer. The World Cup campaign begins Saturday, Nov. 28-29 in Igls, Austria, followed by World Cup events in Lake Placid Friday, Dec. 4-5, Park City, Utah Friday, Dec. 11-12 and Calgary, Canada Friday, Dec. 18-19.

t happens every year, just as the annual Big Game Hunting season is set to open. It’s as reliable as clockwork. It starts about a week before Opening Day. Before the season ends, I will answer a flood of phone calls, emails and even a few handwritten letters from rookies, wanna-bees, former dropouts and some folks that just want to know what they are doing wrong. Typically, the range of questions tends to center on the topic of where to, and when to hunt whitetail. I suppose if they are truly interested in answers to such queries, they’ve already figured out the how and why of hunting. I usually try to explain the best method to increase their odds of achieving hunting success is to increase the frequency of their hunting opportunities. If the deer are not coming to you, then you must go to the. Deer. This entails spending as much time as possible in locations where deer tend to frequent, which are surprisingly similar to comparable locations where humans tend to hangout. It also requires a skilled hunter, or huntress, that has the skill, equipment and ability to get close enough to harvest a wild animal on it’s own, familiar territory. Whitetail deer seek food, water, shelter (cover) and companionship, just as humans do. And bucks, the male of the species are also seeking the companionship of females in earnest at the same time, especially as the breeding season begins. It’s not really rocket science, whitetails have instincts that humans share with all fellow animals, the need for food, water, shelter, safety and sex. Often, prospective hunters follow up with questions regarding how and when to pursue “the “sport; which is not actually a sport. In fact, hunting is more likely an instinctive, human response to a biological urge, rather than a competitive �sport’. The only comparison to hunting as a sport involves the proscribed rules of conduct, and the limited season. When we enter a forested stadium, and set foot on the hunting field of play, there is no score-keeper, and no game clock. There are no referees, beyond our own conscience, and more often than not; we are the only spectators. Despite the fact that hunting is truly an instinctive, human behavior, it still requires a certain degree of practice and training to refine and retrain the skills necessary to be successful. Although humans are biologically designed as predators with eyes in the front of the head, and ears on the side, their advanced intelligence is what typically sets them apart from most other living creatures.
Although humans are the only animals on the planet with the ability to make and tame fire for cooking, light, and protection; they have grown so tame over the course of time, that many of their inherent predatory skills and abilities have long since atrophied from a lack of use. The skills and endurance that once allowed humans to perfect persistence hunting techniques, which involve capturing prey through a process of walking, running and tracking it down, are no practiced. While a few primitive hunters still retain and practice such ancient skills, the vast majority of humans have long since forgotten the way. As hunters return to the Adirondack backwoods this hunting season, it is important for them to continually update and refine the hunting and stalking skills that have been passed down to them. At the same time, it is equally important for them to discover new hunting strategies, methods, and techniques. In the ongoing effort to upgrade their knowledge, it is often helpful for hunters to look back on their efforts, in order to move forward. Despite the prevalence of a wide range of technological hunting aids that include advanced optics, laser range finders, scentless clothing and game cameras that can actually provide hunters with real time images from remote locations; there is no way to compensate for a lack of time in the woods. The only proven method to truly get tuned into the woods, is to spend more time there. A hunter can’t expect to pattern a buck’s movement, without experiencing the animal’s actual physical presence. A virtual hunt doesn’t put any venison on the table’. Hunters are now able to employ all sorts of hunting aids that include scents, sounds, mock scrapes, bleats, decoys and a host of similar hunting equipment. However, there is nothing to beat being in the right spot at the right time. The most successful deer hunters are the ones who know where to find that spot, and how to be there on the hunt most often. They simply put in the time, and I have yet to discover a more reliable technique.
Hunt Safely Safe hunting is accomplished through a process of planning and preparation that is combined with a bit of attitude. It is a frame of mind that insures nothing is overlooked or dismissed as routine. Before hefting a pack and heading off to the woods,

it is important to know you will be carrying everything that is needed to get in there and back out again. It’s also important to realize that accidents do happen, so make a point of leaving word with someone regarding your planned route of travel, and specify when you will be back. Hunting can be relaxing, and exciting, but it also presents a measure of risk. As a result, it is important to stick to your plans! Since most hunters prefer to stay away from marked hiking trails, it often makes search efforts for lost or injured hunters very difficult. Although cell phone coverage in the Park has improved significantly in recent years, never rely on a cell phone to get you out of a jam! There is still a lot of territory where cell phones are as useless as a ...on a bull. Hunting requires constant observation, quick wits, sharp eyes, and often instant decision making. Typically, there is only one chance to get a shot off at a deer, and it must be good. Conversely, there are over a thousand ways to take a bad shot, unless a hunter remains diligent at all times. Always expect to see a deer where and when you least expect to, it’s the first rule of the game. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

Toxic questions
side from the fame, money, power and perks you have to wonder why anyone would run for a national political office. Sadly it must be an addiction to one of the above mentioned vices or perhaps it’s the allure of the magnitude of the challenge that attracts. Either way you have to wonder if people who seek these offices really know what they are getting into. Senator Clinton obviously sees something that is worth all the pain and aggravation she’s gone through over the years through her husband’s career and now her own. Everyday seems to present another attack on her candidacy and to her personally. We really have to wonder why these people put themselves and their families through this process. Dr. Ben Carson, a former neurosurgeon who has thrown his hat into the presidential ring, was recently asked a straight forward question: What would he have done if he were standing in the classroom two weeks ago in Oregon when a gunman was shooting and killing innocent students. Carson answered that he would have encouraged other students to join him in rushing the gunman instead of waiting for the inevitable. Carson, as you may know, has been ripped for insulting the students with such a ridiculous idea. But when you think about his answer and think about the process these candidates put themselves through it’s really an answer very fitting the character of a person who chooses to be a leader. These people put themselves at great risk, accepting tasks that others shy away from, be it fear of failure, lack of confidence or any one of a number of other character flaws. On September 11th in 2001 a group of airline passengers made a similar fateful decision when they realized their plane was to be used as a missile in our nation’s capital. As leaders they recognized their only hope was to either take back control of the plane or die saving countless others on the ground from certain death. We recognize those brave souls of Flight 93 as true heroes for their actions. So as we go through the political craziness during the next year, let’s remember to give all candidates a little slack and respect the simple fact they are willing to do the dirty work of leading our nation in order to make our lives a little easier. We must also be capable of recognizing the difference between a policy gaff and a trap question loaded with toxic interpretations. Dan Alexander is president and CEO of Sun Community News.

Jornada del Muerto
n the weeks leading up to the first atomic bomb test, on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico’s southern desert—called the Jornada del Muerto, the “Journey of Death”, by the Spanish conquistadores—70 scientists of the U.S. Army’s Manhattan Project working to build the first nuclear weapon signed a solemn petition to head off use of the weapon in Japan at the end of World War II. Headed up by nuclear physicist Leo Szilard, the 70 singees asked U.S. President Harry S. Truman to consider a demonstration test of the bomb for Japanese officials to witness instead of dropping the new weapon of mass destruction on a city of mostly civilians. Not declassified until 1961, the Szilard petition text reads as follows: “We, the undersigned, respectfully petition: First, that you exercise your power as Commander-in-Chief, to rule that the United States shall not resort to the use of atomic bombs in this war unless the terms which will be imposed upon Japan have been made public in detail and Japan knowing these terms has refused to surrender; Second, that in such an event the question whether or not to use atomic bombs be decided by you in the light of the considerations presented in this petition as well as all the other moral responsibilities which are involved...” Plans to deliver Szilard’s signed petition to Truman were thwarted by the U.S. Army. The effort didn’t stop the bomb and instead greatly damaged the careers of the signees. Nearly all of the scientists who signed the petition eventually lost their jobs; it took years for them to recover their career paths. Following World War II, Manhattan Project lead scientist Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer told Truman bluntly, in a private meeting about nuclear weaponry, “I feel I have blood on my hands.” After the meeting, Truman told his advisors that he never wanted to talk with Oppenheimer again. The President referred to the man who built the bomb, and who started displaying public remorse, as just another “cry baby scientist.” In retrospect, Szilard’s idea to hold a demonstration test of the bomb probably might have done the trick in at least shocking the Japanese into considering surrender. However, to be fair, many respected historians and military leaders have argued otherwise. Millions of American sailors and soldiers might have died if the Japanese homeland was invaded, as planned, in September 1945. Of course ,it’s always easy to judge the actions of the past from the cold and comfortable present. No matter, not a single world leader in power in 2015—with the possible exception of North Korea’s Kim Jong-un—has experienced an atomic explosion, either underground or above ground; yet, leaders discuss the bomb and negotiate treaties and agreements without having a first-hand knowledge of the sheer awesome, violent scale of nuclear and thermonuclear devices. Of the three principals involved in the on-going, controversial Iranian
nuclear agreement—U.S. President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry and Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei, only Kerry has seen the horrors of (conventional) weapons up close. And neither leader has seen the effects of an underground or above ground nuclear explosion. Would a demonstration test of an above-ground nuclear weapon explosion before the signing of the Iranian agreement changed minds or forced a rewriting of the controversial text and self inspections benchmarks? Perhaps not, but I believe that the cosmic fury of an above-ground nuclear explosion should be seen and felt—in all its roiling, thermal and radioactive intensity—by every world leader, no matter the size of the nation. When the Eisenhower administration revoked Oppenheimer’s security clearance in 1954—for both political and philosophical reasons—the physicist returned to teaching and continued to caution the world about the awesome power of the atom he helped set loose. As an eyewitness to the unfathomable violence unleashed during that first test of his own creation in 1945, Oppenheimer once reflected, “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried; most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita... �Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all felt that, one way or another.” Lou Varricchio is managing editor of New Market Press in Vermont, a subsidiary of Sun Community News

Community leads to great success! To the Editor: I would like to thank the community, the Elizabethtown EMS, Volunteers, The Community Sun for their coverage, the attendees and all those involved in making the 2015 Otis Mountain Get Down an outstanding success. We saw an attendance of 1,800 overwhelmingly supportive and positive attendees from across the region and country, 30+ musical acts, and numerous local and regional artists, food and craft vendors. The broad offering of genres and world class artists not only catered to all tastes, but also brought together a lineup that is seldom seen, let alone in the Adirondacks. We are already looking forward to next year in improving upon our commitments to host an event that is enjoyable for anyone, safe, sustainable and supportive of the region, environment and community.

Appreciates Honor Flight To the Editor: On Oct. 3, I had the privilege of taking part in the North Country Honor Flight trip to Washington, DC, along with 13 other WWII and Korean War veterans. It was a day filled with activities and honors that created many memories for me. I would like to thank Frank McGrath, our flight commander, and everyone else involved in the NCHF program for their dedication to our veter-
ans. I would also like to thank the Essex County Sheriff ’s department, the Combat Veteran’s Motorcycle Association (“The Ghost Chapter”), the students who wrote us letters, family, friends, and everyone else who took part in making this a memorable experience. John S. Harvish WWII Veteran
APA ignores toxic wastes being dumped To the Editor: This letter to the editor is in response to the deafening silence from the Adirondack Park Agency (Brian Ford), and the NYS Department of Conservation (Erin Donhauser). This writer has strong concerns about the issuing of a permit by the DEC to allow Diversified Upstate Enterprises of Washington DC., to pump up to 40,000 gallons a day of supposedly treated waste water containing toxins including PCBs, lead, heavy metals, and carcinogenic solvents like Trichloroethlene, out of the missile silo onto the grounds of the former Atlas missile base located in Lewis. According to the DEC comments on this project must be submitted in writing no later than Oct. 16. Contact Erin M. Donhauser, NYSDEC Region 5 Headquarters, 1115 St Rte 86, Ray Brook, NY 12977 (DEP.R5@dec.ny.gov). Former Missile bases are notorious for being toxic waste sites, just Google it. All of the surrounding property owners and their families have wells for their drinking water. This writer counted at least 20 active personal use water wells in the
area, no doubt more. If this goes bad or there is an “accident”, wells and ground water are poisoned. How about some communication, accountability, and transparency, for the residents in the Town of Lewis who could be negatively affected by this project. Dan Canavan Lewis
Generosity from strangers is amazing! To the Editor: Last week my wife and I were returning from a trip to New Jersey and on the way home, we stopped at the Ambrosia Diner in Glens Falls, for lunch. We were seated in a booth and across from our booth in another booth were two lovely Ladies who spoke to us about where we had been, we told them we had been at my cousin’s 68th wedding anniversary party in New Jersey. One of the ladies told us that her parents were married for 71 years and we exchanged small talk saying that we were from Jay, NY, they said that they were from Westport and were on their way to the Casino in Saratoga. After they left the waitress came over and I asked for our bill, she told me that those Ladies had paid for our bill !! We didn’t believe it! Can you imagine those nice Ladies paid for our bill! We don’t know their names but if anyone knows these Lovely Ladies, please tell them that we thank them for their generosity, they are very nice Ladies. Joe and Norma DeMarco Jay

In it, Oborne said, “We are disappointed in the decision of the court. We appreciate the strong support we have received from our elected officials and other members of the community, and are focused on planning for the future of our great college.” While it is unknown at this time if Weill will withhold the donation as a result of the court’s decision, students at Paul Smith’s were lauding the outcome. Maggie Darragh, a sophomore in the Fisheries and Wildlife program, said she was thrilled with the decision of the court. Darragh said she did not believe the name should be changed and said it would have been disrespectful to the founders of the school if it was. When asked what she thought about possibly losing the large donation, Darragh said, “If Ms. Weill really cared about the school she wouldn’t need her name on it to donate the money.” Scott Van Laer, a New York Forest Ranger and Alumni of Paul Smith’s, has been very involved in the effort to prevent the name change of the college. Van Laer said he and his group of supporters of more than 500 members, were happy with the outcome. “We are very pleased that the New York Supreme Court took its time and took their due diligence to look at all the factors before making a decision,” he said. Van Laer said his initial reaction was against the name change but said he didn’t get involved in fighting against it until about two weeks after the initial report in July. Van Laer said he attended an alumni weekend and started educating himself on the finances of the school and the original viewpoint of the creators of the college. From that point, he was very active in the fight against the change, he said. It is not just alumni who did not want the modification. Local resident, Thomas Sullivan, also agrees with the court ruling. “If you give a donation, you don’t put stipulations on it,” he said. Sullivan said he didn’t attend Paul Smith’s, but is a long-time resident of the community and played on the Paul Smith’s club hockey team. He said he talks to his friends, who are alumni of the school, every week. He is also a member of the Facebook group: “Alumni and Friends Against Changing the Paul Smith’s College’s Name” which was created by Van Laer and has more than 3,100 members. Weill is an emeritus trustee today and remains active in college fundraising. Over the last 20 years, Weill and her husband, the retired chairman and CEO of CitiGroup, have given the school nearly $10 million and have helped the college raise almost $30 million from other donors. Weill can count the campus’ new library and a refurbished and remodeled student center, as well as the creation of two endowed scholarships, as recent accomplishments. All carry her name. Van Laer said it is now time for both sides to come together to help make sure the college is financially sustainable. Although many have disagreed on this issue, he said it’s time to band together for the college and the future of the students.
States, read the stamps on the crates. “We were feeding them during the day so they would shoot at us at night,” said Buckley. “I’ve seen it happen.” One of the biggest supply bases was in Livorno on the west coast. Every two months, troops had to reposition boxes of explosives stored at the munitions depot. If all of the materiel was allowed to gather at one end, the explosives would become unstable and dangerous, said Buckley. Relations with locals were largely cordial. “Some of them had a rough going,” said Buckley. “You’d see women coming out of the woods carrying baskets of twigs and small pieces of lumber to sell in the square.” Buckley never saw combat. The only time he heard rifle fire was when a soldier accidentally discharged his weapon during a changing of the guard. One year later, Buckley found himself on a boat back to the United States. He made a career at the New York Phone Company, got married and had six kids. “I never had any hobbies because my main hobby was working,” said Buckley. “When you have six kids and a wife, and they all want their own shoes, you have to listen.” Buckley will head to DC on Saturday with three other veterans: John McAlevey, of Jay, Maurice Guerrette and Arthur Niederbuhl, both of Bloomingdale. “I can’t see why I did anything out of the ordinary,” said Buckley. “I don’t think it’s deserved.” North County Honor Flight Departure Ceremony: Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Plattsburgh Oval. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Sayward supports Rick Meyer To the Editor, This letter is in support of Rick Meyer for Essex County Judge. State law requires counties to provide and pay for legal services to financially disadvantaged persons. Private attorneys are assigned because public defenders cant represent persons charged with crimes. With nearly 1000 cases in court each year, many people qualify for either public defender or assigned counsel services. In reality there just arent enough lawyers in Essex County to take all the cases and State laws dont allow Essex County limit the pool to Essex County attorneys. Its evident by the recent article in the SUN that Ricks opponent is not knowledgeable of the workings of the court system. Juries like Rick because he is efficient and respectful of their time in court. Rick gets the most out of every day without overburdening those doing their civic duty as members of the Jury. Ricks compassion for people shows through drug court programs he initiated. This program gives veterans and others a chance to find help and overcome addiction. In a time when little is being done for Veterans; Rick works to give them the tools to reconnect with their communities. When NYS closed all Adirondack Landfills in 1999; Rick crafted an agreement with NYS to supplement the Countys trash hauling costs by $200,000 per year. We taxpayers still enjoy that benefit year after year! Thats nearly $3 million dollars so far that Rick Meyer helped save Essex County Taxpayers. Rick is honest, he knows the law, and works hard to protect the taxpayers of Essex County. VOTE for Rick Meyer on Election Day! Teresa R. Sayward, Retired NYS Assembly Member, Former Willsboro Town Supervisor and Former Chair of the Essex County Board of Supervisors

o you doodle? Sorry to pry, but I’m interested. Most people make repetitious circles, squares and triangles. I have always doodled. Mine were different from the average bear--strange creatures, odd designs and reflections of a weird mind. Only recently have experts begun to tell us you can absorb a lecture more thoroughly when doodling. I always thought it was natural to do so. Each day from 1961 until I left the radio business in 1997, I drew pictures when interviewing guests or playing records. When I finished a task, I would look down in amazement at the strange concoction on the reverse of a news story or sports score I had just read. I call them subliminal, because I had no idea what I was drawing. I signed and date each, brought them home and Kaye stashed them in drawers and boxes. There they languished until our youngest son Kirk asked if he could archive them. I was flattered as he loaded them into his vehicle and took them back to Ohio. He scanned, photographed and categorized more than five thousand drawings. In time, he handed me a thumb drive and, for the first time, I was able to view them in chronological order or any other way that suited my mood. They are some distance outside the box, if you get my drift. What to do with them was for me a dilemma. Should I leave them hidden from public view forever or somehow share them with friends? I tried putting some on t-shirts. I framed a few and displayed them in shops. I was told I should put them on calendars with a different drawing each day. Eventually, I was led to the concept of adult-oriented coloring books. 2015 has become a bonanza for people who publish and print them. Psychologists are proclaiming them as new age meditation. Hospital gift shops are selling them like hot cakes. Patients and doctors are gobbling them up and announcing that coloring is therapeutic. You only have to hit me in the head with a hammer once to get my attention. I contacted my son Kirk and he agreed to write a forward. I broached the idea on my social media pages and displayed them at public presentations. I dropped off the thumb drive with a local printer. In 1997, a friend noticed that my signature on the doodles was “GLittle,” but it looked like “Gittle.” From that day forward, I called them “Gordie Little Gittles.” Of course it’s silly, but so am I. I wrote three rhyming children’s books using Gittles to encourage young people to draw. None have been published. Now to try and decide which Gittles to put in the first coloring book. Why? Because it seems like a good idea at the time. Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

umerous festivities are on tap only a short drive for our targeted readership — let’s cruise through a few of them.
Pop Culture Icons Come to Saratoga Springs Drive south to Saratoga Springs for a rare opportunity to speak with comic book illustrator Steve Lavigne. Lavigne has lettered and colored the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, for Mirage Studios, and the majority of officially licensed Ninja Turtles merchandise. That dude won’t be sliding into town solo, however. Nope, he will be with a posse of superstars from the science fiction/fantasy world because Chase Con Expo is back! Gamers and comic book fans will converge at the Saratoga City Center in downtown Saratoga Springs on Saturday, Oct. 24 and Sunday, Oct. 25. Among the cast of characters will be Emmy Award-winning puppeteer Jim Martin, who developed several Sesame Street characters; Jay Moores, who created the webcomic Next to Nowhere and Tico Glores Kyle, a stuntman who has appeared on the television shows Gotham and The Black List. An impressive showing of other people — including some dressed as your favorite cartoon characters, will be swarming the area. Even the aptly named Saraphina Cosplay, known for depicting redheaded comics like Jessica Rabbitt and Queen Mera from Aquaman, will be on hand. If you want to catch Saraphina, she will be making an appearance on Sunday only, so plan accordingly. Tickets range in price starting at $15 for a one-day pass and $25 for the weekend. VIP packages and family 4-pack packages start at $50. Advanced ticket purchasers get a pretty sweet deal — they receive a link to the program book and admission to the pre and after parties at Bailey’s Café in Saratoga Springs. For ticket purchasing, and additional information head to www. ChaseCon.org.

MARY FARLEY, St. Lawrence County Farley served as outgoing justice David Demarest’s principal law clerk for 22 years. She has been endorsed by the Republican and Reform parties. According to campaign materials, Farley has experience in all facets of civil litigation, including motion practice, settlement conferencing and trial issues. Prior to serving under Demarest, Farley held positions with Roemer & Featherstonhaugh, P.C., of Albany, and with for the Cable Television Association of New York. Farley, of Gouverneur, stressed the importance of keeping the seat in St. Lawrence County. “The last time I embarked on a nine-month project, and put 36,000 miles on my car, I had a kid at the end,” Farley quipped. Farley graduated from Albany Law School of Union University. In July, she was ranked “highly qualified” by Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commissions. Farley has been campaigning around the district with Auffredou. Stec has referred to the pair as “M&M.” “My 10-year-old is an outstanding judge of character and he loves Mary Farley,” Stec said.
Vermont PBS will be airing the second in a seven-episode series of the 2015 Discover Jazz Festival. The mini-concerts, filmed live at the Flynn Space in Burlington, Vermont are scheduled to run on Saturdays at 9 p.m., with the last episode airing on Nov. 21. Each episode includes special artist interviews not part of the original performance. On Saturday, Oct. 17 the Mimi Jones Band is featured. Mimi Jones is described as a New York bassist and vocalist stylishly eclectic, mixing jazzy soul-pop, world beat rhythms, and chilled-out balladry. A positive and inspiring composer, Jones’ songs melt seamlessly from one to another. Jones and her quartet perform music from the ambitious 2014 release Balance. All About Jazz says the recording “leaves little doubt that Jones is really doing it — and doing it well.” For more information, and a complete list of performances visit vermontpbs.org/jazz. Northern New York is full of autumnal events, visit our calendar of events and on-line posts for more inclusive listings. I write my column two weeks ahead, so please send the details of your events to me in time for inclusion in my column. Thanks� Linda@ suncommunitynews.com.
Saraphina Cosplay, shown here as Queen Mera from the New 52 Aquaman (DC Comics), will make a oneday appearance, Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Chase Con Expo.
JULIE GARCIA, Warren County Garcia, a former Essex County District Attorney, received the unanimous endorsement of the Democratic Party last week. The Ticonderoga native graduated from Siena College before attending Albany Law School, where she worked in the Domestic Violence Clinic. After being admitted to the state bar in 2000, she worked in the Domestic Violence Unit of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office and ran her own law office before being elected Essex County DA. Garcia, according to campaign materials, has handled cases in federal court, supreme court, county court and local courts, representing clients throughout the Fourth Judicial District. As a former DA, Garcia says she is aware of the need for impartial judges who will ensure that laws are carried out fairly and consistently. “With more than a decade of legal experience in both the public and private sectors, I have a profound understanding of our judicial system,” said Garcia in an email. “There is no substitute for the experience an attorney gains from representing clients in and out of the courtroom.” “I know the law. I know the district. I was born and raised here and am deeply committed to justice for all.” Garcia was nominated last week by Clinton County Democratic Chair Martin Mannix, Jr. “Julie Garcia has a quick mind and a solid moral compass,” Mannix said in a news release. “As Essex County’s first woman District Attorney, she quickly won high marks for her willingness to take on a heavy workload and promote efficiencies within her office. She will be an outstanding Supreme Court Judge.” Garcia resides in Lake George and is a sole practitioner with an office in Essex County. MARK BLANCHFIELD, Schenectady County The candidate currently serves as a full-time judge of the Schenectady City Court, which is the busiest local justice court in the region, according to his campaign materials. Blanchfield spent nine years on the Schenectady City Council — including three as president — before being appointed in 2010 to fill a vacancy on the City Court bench. He was elected to a 10-year term the following year. “I am dedicated to my community and its families and have enjoyed volunteering with various youth organizations,” Blanchfield wrote on his campaign website. Blanchfield graduated from Harvard University and Cardozo School of Law and has a “highly qualified” ranking from the Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commissions. As a lawyer, Blanchfield has practiced at every level of the court system, from local trial courts to the Second Circuit and the New York Court of Appeals, and in all 11 counties of the Fourth Judicial District. Supreme Court justices serve 14-year terms at a salary of $174,000. Voters head to the polls on Nov. 3.

undertaking for us.” Auffredou, of Queensbury, has been at it since January. The court seat rotates between the counties. Krogmann’s retirement means the seat may leave Warren County. It’s important for the county to retain its judicial seat, Auffredou said. But the burden to preserve it is on the voters. Auffredou practiced law in the region for more than 25 years, including 20 years with the Glens Falls law firm Bartlett, Pontiff, Stewart & Rhodes, P.C. There, the principal and vice president focused on municipal law. The candidate was the counsel for the Lake George Park Commission, five school districts and eight towns and villages around the region. Upon passing the New York State Bar Exam, he served as Confidential Law Clerk to the Hon. D. Brock Hornby, an Associate Justice on the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine. He has also served as an arbitrator for the Attorney Fee Dispute Resolution Program since 2004. Auffredou graduated from Western New England College School of Law. He is ranked “qualified” by the Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commissions. “We’re committed to finishing strong and we’re up to the task,” Auffredou said. Auffredou has been making campaign appearances across the district with Mary Farley, of St. Lawrence County. Both have been endorsed by Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-114 District). Auffredou, said Stec, has done an “outstanding job” as county attorney.

To celebrate 20 seasons, Hill and Hollow have planned something both impressive and local. They have invited North Country native, Soovin Kim and his ensemble — the Johannes String Quartet to perform. Angela Brown, of Hill and Hollow, said, “Although he performs in Burlington, Vermont on a regular basis, he does not play on our side of the pond very often. This concert is a pretty big deal for us and we are so excited!” I was curious about the places Kim has played, “on this side of the pond.” My sleuthing efforts proved interesting. Seems the Johannes String Quartet’s other New York gigs include performances at Carnegie Hall, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Brown was correct, this string quartet is impressive. And having performed at any celebration is a significant score. The string quartet will play on Sunday, Oct. 25, at 3 p.m. at the historic United Methodist Church on Route 3 in Saranac.
