Stiller’s ‘Escape at Dannemora’ ready for spotlight
VETS HONORED IN WADHAMS
“Stranger-than-fiction” account of manhunt debuts this week in Plattsburgh By Pete DeMola EDITOR
PLATTSBURGH | The escape from Clinton Correctional Facility by two convicted murders in 2015 immediately drew comparisons to Hollywood capers like the “Shawshank Redemption.” The nation’s attention was kept rapt for the 23-day manhunt, which contained all of the sordid tropes that played themselves out on Tinseltown screens over the years, including illicit jailhouse romances, morally ambiguous characters and pulse-pounding police chases.

WHALLONSBURG | A referendum vote to sustain a Town of Essex agreement with the Whallonsburg Grange Hall Association met approval on Tuesday by a wide margin: 226 to 65. The vote updates a Memorandum of Agreement set in motion as the association formed to facilitate grange restoration 10 years ago. In the past decade, the grange board of directors and committees have raised and invested nearly $270,000 to renovate the facility, an effort that includes new water, sewer, electrical service and commercial kitchen facilities while restoring the stage, balcony
and dance-floor area in keeping with the building’s 100-year history. The town pays for power to the facility, up to $4,000 annually, plus provides snow and trash removal. Town officials calculate the total cost of grange support to town taxpayers is approximately $8 per household per year. Voter approval suggests townspeople think the cost is affordable. “I was very happy about the referendum vote. We had a lot of people come to meetings when it was discussed,” said Essex Town Supervisor Ron Jackson. “People supported it on the vote by a pretty overwhelming amount.” Jackson said the three-year memorandum of agreement is like a lease, which is renewable twice more, for a total of nine years. Restoration at the grange has been a good thing for the community in Essex, he said. » Grange Cont. on pg. 3
