MOOERS — When Edie Morelock retired from her position as director of Mooers Free Library early last year, she knew she wanted to still be connected to the local reading scene in some shape or form. “I always talked about starting a book club and was approached by a few people about it,” said Morelock.

SARANAC — Though Hill and Hollow Music has been out of the public eye for the past few years, that hasn’t meant the nonprofit organization has been resting on its laurels, says director Angela Brown. “We took a hiatus at the end of 2009 from presenting concerts and regrouped to start a new program about a year ago, offering a quiet, rural retreat for artists,” said Brown. The retreat, she said, has been offered for the past

Denton Publications welcomes Stephen Bartlett to the team PLATTSBURGH — Denton Publications now welcomes Stephen Bartlett as the new editor of the North Countryman and The Burgh. Bartlett replaces Jeremiah S. Papineau, who served as editor of the North Countryman and the former Clinton County Free Trader Today and eventually The Burgh, over the past four years. Papineau has taken a managing editor position with two weekly newspapers for the Johnson Newspaper Corporation based in Watertown. Denton Publications publisher and chief executive officer Daniel E. Alexander said he was disappointed to see Papineau leave but looks forward to the wealth of journalistic ability Bartlett will bring to the company. “In the short time Jeremiah was with us, he made a considerable impact in the community and helped the papers make great strides,” said Alexander. “You always worry about the next hire, but from the moment Jeremiah suggested Stephen as a possible replacement, we knew the opportunity to continue to see the papers grow had hope.” “After several interviews with Stephen, we knew we had the guy who could pick up the challenge where Jeremiah left off without skipping a beat,”

Alexander continued. “We hope our readers agree with the choice and welcome Stephen to our organization.” Managing editor John Gereau concurred. “With his experience covering news in the region and his tremendous local ties to the greater Plattsburgh area, Stephen is an excellent addition to our team,” said Gereau. “I am confident he will continue to provide the extensive community coverage our readers have come to expect, both in print and online.” “I’ve known Stephen for several years and working alongside him during that time, I can honestly say I couldn’t ask for a better person to step in and take care of our newspapers,” added Papineau. “I wish him all the best and encourage the people in our community to give him the same warm welcome I received upon coming here four years ago. Stephen will be proud to help you tell your stories, carrying on the tradition of making each of our newspapers your hometown newspaper.” Stephen Bartlett may be r eached via email at stephen@denpubs.com or by phone at 561-9680, ext. 102.

CHAMPLAIN/ROUSES POINT • North Countryman - 3

Four Fathers collecting toys for holiday concert By Jeremiah S. Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com CHAMPLAIN — The Four Fathers are at it again. The local band — which consists of Marc Mero, Hal Mero, Tom Marnes and Deane Tremblay — is once again collecting new and unwrapped toys for “Toys for Kids,” a collection drive hosted by WPTZ Newschannel 5 and the local chapter of The Salvation Army. “Each year, our band does a show strictly for this,” said Marc Mero. “We’re not your proverbial barroom band — we only play a handful of shows a year. This show is special for the kids.”

The Four Fathers get together each year for a concert at Bowl Mart Lanes to thank those who donated to the drive, with the hope they’ll collect even more toys than the year before, said Mero. And, so far, it’s working. “We did very well last year with this drive,” said Mero, who noted past years have had an admission charge to also benefit Toys for Kids. “This year, all we’re asking is you bring in a new, unwrapped toy.” The collection drive has already begun, said Mero, with donations needed prior to Friday, Dec. 2. Each toy will earn one ticket food for admission to the show, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3, from 8 p.m. to

midnight at Bowl Mart Lanes, 277 U.S. Route 11. The maximum amount of tickets that will be given out to the show will be 200. “We know these are hard times, with so many people out of work. That’s why this is so important,” said Mero, adding that’s also the reason for the admission charge being dropped for those who donate to the event. “And, even if someone can’t make it to the show, they’re still more than welcome to drop off a toy,” he added. For more information about the toy drive and the upcoming Four Fathers concert, contact Mero at 297-2433.

‘Parade of Toys’ returns Holiday Train in town Friday ROUSES POINT — The annual Parade of Toys, sponsored by the village of Rouses Point, is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, at Rouse Park. The parade will continue down the street with Santa Claus to the Peg and John Huchro Memorial Gazebo, where carols will be sung and the tree will be lit. Children will be treated to hot chocolate and cookies and meet with Santa. Dodge Memorial Library will present Christmas books to children. Everyone is invited to bring their favorite stuffed animal and join the parade.

ROUSES POINT — The Annual CP Rail Holiday Train will be arriving in the village of Rouses Point this Friday, Nov. 25, at 10:30 p.m. Again this year, the train will be stopping on their way south allowing residents of Rouses Point to enjoy the entertainment at an earlier time. As always it is requested those attending bring a donation of canned or non-perishable food that will be donated to the local food shelf.

CHAZY — Chazy Girl Scouts Troop 25 have shown their thanks to the men and women who have served and who continue to serve our country. The local troop hosted a special Veterans Day meal for members of Russell B. Child American Legion Post 769 at Chazy Presbyterian Church Nov. 11. The event was both the culmination of a six-week cooking program and way to honor local veterans, said Troop Leader Lisa M. Panetta. The program, known as “Cookarama,” involved the girls preparing meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and hot apple crisp served over vanilla ice cream, with fruit and cheese kabobs served as appetizers. “We hope to have taught the girls to work as a team while learning to cook as some of them may not get

that experience elsewhere,” said Panetta. “They have learned to cook different foods and even though some may say they do not like one of the foods we were cooking that night they had to try at least a bite.” The planning of the program to end with the Veterans Day meal was a way to help the girls feel “that they can make a difference in the world,” added Panetta. “The girls greeted the veterans and their guests at the door, did coat check, seated them, took beverage orders, and served the veterans their meals,” she said. And, just as the veterans commitment to their country did not go unnoticed by the Scouts, the efforts of the young girls did not go unnoticed either. “It is rare that young people think about or even know what this day means to those who have served,” said veteran Stephen LaPierre. “Ask any veteran

what they want and all you will hear is just a thank you for having served.” Susan Billow, who also serves as Troop Leader, said she couldn’t have been more proud of the Scouts. “I was so proud and honored at how the girls han-

dled themselves in front of the veterans and how hard they worked to prepare they meal,” said Billow. “This cooking program gave the girls 15 different outcomes some of which are develop a strong sense of self, gain practical life

skills, feel connected to their communities, locally and globally, and feel empowered to make a difference in the world. “ “These events are important to help build courage, confidence, and character in the girls,” added Billow.

Denton Publications Editorial

Help a community under siege

rom railroad tracks to a controversial mountainside resort, more and more people outside Tupper Lake are claiming to know what’s best for this community. It’s only 22 miles from Tupper Lake to Saranac Lake, but it might as well be 2,200 miles from the opposite direction. Average Saranac Lake and Lake Placid residents don’t usually visit unless they’re driving through. That’s why it’s so surprising outside groups are now interested in Tupper Lake. But are these people joining the proactive, grassroots movements to reopen the ski center, rebuild the train station, and bring tourists and businesses to the Tip Top Town? Are they trying to help the community? The answer is no. They’re motivated by their own interests. Instead of assisting a community that needs economic help, they’re swooping in with their own agendas and trying to take over. At a time when Next Stop! Tupper Lake is working to restore the railroad tracks to Saranac Lake — extending the Adirondack Scenic Railroad’s Saranac Lake-Lake Placid excursion and bringing more tourists to town — members of the new Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates (ARTA), based in Saranac Lake, are lobbying the state to tear up those tracks so they can build a recreational path. At a time when ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy) is working to support the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort project on Mount Morris, environmental groups like the Adirondack Council, based in Elizabethtown, and Protect the Adirondacks, based in Schenectady, are trying to minimize the development, in essence destroying an ambitious proposal to bring tourists and jobs to Tupper Lake. On the surface, this feels like another case of outsiders trying to protect the Adirondacks from the Adirondackers; however, the anti-railroad and anti-ACR efforts have a new twist. Key players in these groups are Adirondack residents, and many have comfortable jobs or retirement plans. Some are even supporting both ARTA and the Adirondack Council, which shows they don’t really have Tupper Lake’s best interest in mind. It sounds like these groups are trying to protect Tup-

per Lake from the Tupper Lakers. While there’s heavy interest outside the Blue Line in these two cases, they are simply the latest clashes in an undeclared, parkwide civil war — a fight between the haves and the have-nots, the environmentalists versus the property rights supporters. It’s a fight to determine what’s best for the Adirondack Park, and those beliefs don’t always jive with what’s best for Adirondack residents. Today, Tupper Lake is a community under siege, and while that sounds corny from the outside, it’s all too real for the residents inside fighting for survival. For those who have faced adversity or been the underdog, this is your story. With its industrial heritage, Tupper Lake is a blue collar town at heart, filled with friendly, honest and hard-working people. They have a history of reinventing their economy no matter the challenge. When the softwoods ran out, they turned to hardwoods. They attracted a federal hospital. When the feds moved out, they attracted the state to run Sunmount for the developmentally disabled. But times have been tough lately. The wood products industry has faded away. OWD is gone, along with Ames, Hackett’s, A&P and a number of small businesses. We shouldn’t dictate how anyone else should live. Let’s support ARISE and Next Stop! Tupper Lake. Let’s get the Adirondack Scenic Railroad to the Junction depot within three years. Let’s get the Adirondack Club and Resort up and running. Let’s get the Tupper Lake economy back in tip-top shape. Learn more at www.tupper-lake.com. Now, more than ever, Tupper Lakers need your help, and they have much to offer. They know where they’re going and how to get there. Members of ARTA, the Adirondack Council, Protect the Adirondacks and all those manning the roadblocks to Tupper Lake’s future, if you’re not going to help, please get out of the way.

WEEKLY COLUMNS • North Countryman - 7

Moving on and the bright future for the North Countryman

ell, there’s no other way to say this: I’m leaving. Now, before you break out the Kleenex (not that I’m anticipating my departure would be a reason for the masses to buy mass quantities of facial tissue), I have to tell you, all the faithful readers of this publication, that it’s not a time for sadness or disappointment, but an exciting opportunity for all of us. By the time you read this column, I’ll be on my way back to my hometown, just a few short hours west of here. For those who don’t know, I’m originally from Carthage, a small village on the banks of the Black River in Jefferson County. Recently, I was asked if I would be interested in overseeing the Carthage Republican Tribune and the Journal and Republican, two weekly publications for the Johnson Newspaper Corporation, based in Watertown. After much deliberation and reflection, I accepted the position. However,

I must tell you it was hard to leave behind the friends I have made here and the two great publications — the North Countryman and The Burgh — I have seen grow into the fully-enriched community news products so many of you look forward to week after week. Then, I realized something. It’s going to be okay. These publications have become what they are because of the continued support of you, our community. Through reading the articles we write, supporting the advertisers who support our papers, you’ve built these publications to where they are today, and that won’t end with my departure. I’m very excited that a person I feel has one of the strongest work ethics in the North

Checking off fall garden chores

ven though we have been enjoying some beautiful weather over the past few weeks, we know that colder weather is just around the corner. This is the North Country after all! If you are like me, the closer winter approaches, the more I want to get done in the garden. Sometimes, I feel like a squirrel trying to store nuts before the coming winter, rushing around to get all of my lastminute gardening completed. Mulching is one of the best lines of defense for perennial plants against chilling temperatures. Mulching also can prevent the repeated freezing and thawing of soil that causes plants to "heave" out of the ground. The trick is not to mulch too soon. Mulching needs to be done after the ground starts to freeze but before the first significant snowfall of the year. If you mulch sooner, mice and other rodents may nest in the mulch, and plants may not be dormant. To protect evergreens from cold, biting winter winds, build a windbreak. Place posts in the ground on the sides most prone to seasonal winds (usually north and west), and wrap with old feed sacks or burlap. Avoid plastic as this will heat up, causing the plants to burn on sunny days. Winter sun can scald newly planted trees. Protect them by wrapping the trunks with special tree wrapping tape, which you can

buy at most garden centers. Add four to six inches of shredded bark, wood chips, or leaves around the base of the tree. After applying, gently pull mulch away from the base. Wrapping also provides some protection against hungry mice. Roses require special care at this time of the year. After a freeze has occurred (usually around mid to late November), mound 10 to 12 inches of soil around the base of tender bush varieties. This is not so much to keep the soil warm, but to prevent it from thawing and heaving during the winter. It also helps moderate temperatures around grafted crowns. This month, rake up leaves from around fruit trees to help control insect populations and remove disease-causing organisms that overwinter on leaf debris. You will help reduce rodent populations by removing all fruit remaining on the tree or on the ground. Applying mulch near fruit trees is not recommended as it increases the likelihood of rodent damage during winter.

She also chronicles her gardening experiences at her blog www .northcountrygarden. wordpress.com. She can be reached at a.lenox.barlow@gmail.com.

obody goes into the holiday season wanting to gain five to 10 pounds of unwanted weight, however, most people do. The average person gains between seven to 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year ’s. So, do you have a plan to battle the bulge this holiday season? Well, if you want to avoid unwanted holiday weight gain, I strongly suggest you make a plan! Write it down, and place it somewhere that you will see it constantly throughout the day. Plan to eat healthy most of the time. When you are at a party or dinner engagement, allow yourself to enjoy the food and/or drink, but in moderation don’t stuff yourself until you feel like your going to pop. Then, when it’s all over, it’s over. Resume your healthy eating. Keep the cookies and pies out of the house and off your desk! You don’t have to resist temptation if it is not there, right? If there are cookies and treats at the office or everywhere you look, reach for a piece of fruit or a cup of unsweetened herbal tea to help ease the urge of mindless snacking. If you are truly hungry, eat a healthy meal or snack. Otherwise, stay away! Know that you can have a treat at the office party or at Thanksgiving dinner but that’s it. You won’t be depriving yourself, just

The words of Mohandas Gandhi come to mind in a time like this: “Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.” That is true. We must forever be evolving, forever open to the idea of change, with the anticipation something much greater will come along to show us there is always room for improvement. I have always enjoyed my time here and thank you from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me into this end of the North Country with open arms. And, so, to steal a line from our own Garry Douglas, executive director of the North Country Chamber of Commerce: “Onward and upward!” Jeremiah S.

Country, Stephen Bartlett, will be stepping in as the new editor of both the North Countryman and The Bur gh. Stephen brings with him years of experience reporting in the North Country and wealth of information he has learned from, again, all of you in the community. The content of these publications will not only maintain the sterling reputations they have earned, but, I feel, will only get better with Stephen’s leadership. Whether it’s a late-breaking hard news story or a feature on the woman at the local nursing home turning 100 years young, I know that Stephen wants the same thing I’ve always wanted from all of you — to help us help you tell your stories.

limiting your treats to a couple of nights instead of everyday from Thanksgiving until New Year ’s. Also, even though it is a busy time of year, you should still try to find time to fit in exercise. You don’t have to dedicate and hour or more to the gym. You can get a sufficient total body workout in about 20 minutes. Only have 10 minutes until dinner is ready? Get in 10 minutes, anything is better than nothing. You can even break it up throughout the day. Get in 10 minutes first thing in the morning, 10 minutes at lunch, and 10 minutes in the evening. Not only is it easier to fit into your schedule, you will get a metabolism boost from working out multiple times throughout the day. So this holiday season, remember your goals, and stick to them. You will come out happier, stronger, and have more energy from making healthier lifestyle choices.

8 - North Countryman • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR/HEALTH AND NUTRITION/NEWS BRIEFS

Time for a reply Mooers, a terrible place to live according to some; this must explain why Mooers had the highest population growth rate in the country in the 2010 census. Claims about salary, just maybe overtime plays a part in that, or maybe some feel public employees should work all overtime for free. A property that seems to be the focus of great issue was bought for five hundred dollars and was allowed to be converted to a single-family residence, with no review required, by zoning law, however, the owners wanted to convert to something much more profitable, multi-unit apartment, on a property that is 15 percent of the minimum lot size required by zoning, which was denied by the CC Planning Department; at the same time the town was battling a similar situation 1000 ft down the road with raw sewage on top of the ground that took two years to resolve. Facts and truth apparently don’t apply; never one complete or correct application, remodeling a property without a permit ever being issued to do so, moving a tenant into this property without a permit or certificate of occupancy ever

being issued resulting in a court action to remove the tenant. (Apparently, this was the town’s fault!!) A request for a sign, listed on application for a business property which is allowed by zoning, while the actual intent was for a billboard adjacent to a state highway, which is not allowed by NYS. (Apparently, this was the town’s fault!!) Quote”In past years, local officials placed a restriction on certain types of businesses (for example, campgrounds) with little of no research to support this decision. These restrictions help eliminate possible competition for businesses owned by some of the town officials.” Facts and truth apparently don’t apply, again; this particular section of zoning has never been changed, along with many other parts, since zoning was adopted; which was before my time in office. I have never been a member of the planning board, voting or otherwise. I attended many meetings; all these meetings are open to the public for input as well; to provide the town’s

position to the board members for their review and recommendation to the town board; after review by the Clinton County Planning Department and the town attorney; for adoption as a local law. Rudy Miller Supervisor Town of Mooers

Authorities seize drug trafficking money PLATTSBURGH — The Adirondack Drug Task Force, which consists of members of various local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, has reported a joint criminal investigation with foreign law enforcement officials has led to the discovery of millions of dollars being laundered through the United States.

vealed that during the months of September and October, proceeds from the sales of cocaine were being smuggled by criminal organizations between the U.S., Canada, Panama and Colombia. The investigation also revealed a Lebanese criminal cell based in Bogota, Colombia, was directing the movement of millions of dollars through the U.S. to other countries. Law enforcement officials identified and infiltrated the cell and

succeeded in seizing approximately $2 million dollars in Canadian currency believed to be derived from the sale and distribution of cocaine in North America. A subject identified by the alias name of “Mike Fattal” is believed to be the cell head responsible for the lost monies has yet to be fully identified. The investigation is ongoing.

Video contest winners will get ‘Red Carpet Treatment’ will be Feb. 1 By Katherine Clark

katherine@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Regional video contest offers area students the opportunity to exercise their creativity and send an anti-bullying message to the community for a chance to win a Plattsburgh Red Carpet Experience. Wanda McQueen, Safe Schools and Healthy Students project administrator said the project is a way for north country students to exercise their creativity to help raise awareness for a very serious problem. “The more awareness we raise the easier it will be to address the problem,” McQueen said. “This is an exciting project and I hope the students will get excited and inspired to do something great here.” Creators of the winning video will receive a “Red Carpet” treatment to a screening of their video at the Cumberland 12 Cinemas March 7. This will include a limo ride to the theater, front row seating and acknowledgment at the premier. Also winners will take part in a live interview on WIRY Radio, videos will be submitted to local TV stations for broadcasting, and receive a school visit from a surprise

celebrity. “I can’t say yet who it is but I know the students will be excited and you never know we could have more than one celebrity guest,” McQueen said. The video submission deadline is Wednesday, Feb. 1. McQueen said she hopes many students will participate so there is a broad range of creative works to choose from and hopes students can project a great message. “We want to inspire them to think outside the box on this one and have their work be an outstanding message against bullying,” McQueen said. The contest is open to all school ages students in grades K-12. The SS/HS judges will pick two winning videos; one submitted by an elementary team and one submitted by a middle/high school team.

Videos will be scored by the impact of their message, originality/creativity, accurate facts/statistics, and production quality. Up to five video submissions are allowed per school and groups can be as small as one person or as large as 24, as long as all teams members are students at the same school. Judges for the project will include local law enforcement, education, mental health/prevention, justice, and media members. To participate each student featured in the short film must submit a consent and photo release form signed by a parent/guardian of the students, and most importantly the video must increase awareness of bullying and address what students, schools and communities can do to reduce bullying in the North Country.

Adirondack Park Agency begins hard look at Tupper Lake resort Decision on massive project expected in January By Andy Flynn

done in the past seven years here at the Agency and now in my appointment as Chairwoman,” Ulrich said.

RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners began its look at the proposed Adirondack Club and Resort Nov. 17 and 18 at APA Headquarters in preparation for making a decision on the project in January. The APA Board will take most of its meeting time in November, December and January to deliberate on the resort’s permit (2005-100, Preserve Associates, LLC). The project, located around the Big Tupper Ski Area in the town of Tupper Lake, is the largest development proposed in the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park’s history and could be used as a precedent for future development.

Meetings explained

Making history Commissioner Leilani Crafts Ulrich, of Old Forge, began her first meeting as chairwoman on Nov. 17. She was appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Nov. 9 to replace Curt Stiles, who retired as commissioner and chairman during the summer. “This is history,” Ulrich said, explaining that she is the first female chair of the APA Board and she was sitting with the first female APA executive director (Martino) and the first APA commissioner from St. Lawrence County, Sherman Craig of Wanakena, who was named to the board on Nov. 9. “For my mother, my daughters-in-law and granddaughters — for girls and women known and unknown, I am delighted to mirror each of our aspirations and to have the privilege of building on the work I have

APA Counsel John Banta looked around the APA Board room Nov. 17 and likened the setup to a courtroom; however, he explained that the meetings over the next three months are technically part of an “administrative adjudication,” not a court proceeding. The 11-member APA Board (eight commissioners and three designees) will be reviewing the findings from the previously held adjudicatory hearings and make a decision on the resort permit based on “fact and law.” Adjudication is a less formal procedure than a courtroom hearing with a judge and gives “substantial latitude in deliberation” compared to a court proceeding, Banta said. In March and June 2011, the APA compiled evidence on the resort project during an exhaustive set of adjudicatory hearings. During the Nov. 17 meeting, Martino listed the amount of findings Board members will use to make their decision: 49 parties; 23 witnesses; 4,486 pages of testimony; 12 reply statements; 17 closing statements; 288 exhibits; and 256 drawings.

Executive team APA staffers set up the Board room for this month’s meeting to accommodate extra for the Executive Team. In addition to Martino and Counsel John Banta, who always sit at the Board table, the team includes Deputy Director of Regulatory Programs Rick Weber; Environmental Engineer Greg Bendell; Senior Natural Resources Planner Matt Kendall; and biologist Ed Snizek.

utive Team will provide aid and advice to the APA Board during the three-month deliberation process. The Executive Team is separate from the APA Hearing Staff, who had reviewed the project and filed recommendations after the fact-finding adjudicatory hearings. Members of the Executive Team gave an overview of the resort project and began explaining 10 issues with the proposal during the two-day meeting.

About the project The 2005-100 project application was filed by Preserve Associates, LLC (Sponsor), and Big Tupper, LLC, Tupper Lake Boat Club, LLC, and Oval Wood Dish Liquidating Trust (Landowners) for an Agency permit for a mixed commercial and residential develop-

ment on the sites of the former Big Tupper Ski Area, former McDonald’s Marina and the surrounding Oval Wood Dish lands. The development proposal was first announced in February 2004. The project site is about 6,235 acres of property, including about 1,800 feet of frontage on Lake Simond and about 235 feet on Big Tupper Lake at the marina. The applicant proposes to develop a planned resort development with a ski center, marina, 60unit inn, 719 single-family and multiplefamily residential dwelling units (including “great camp” lots). The applicant proposes to undertake the project in four phases over 15 years. The Adirondack Club is being marketed as an Orvis Sporting Lifestyle Community.

Lady Eagles capture second straight NYSPHSAA Class D championship By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CORTLAND — Two goals to the bad in the 70th minute of play is not usually a position any soccer team wants to be in, especially when you are in the state semifinals. However, the Chazy Lady Eagles were not going to let that stand in the way of their second straight New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D state title. The Eagles stormed back against Remsen in the Nov. 19 semifinal match on goals by Christina Emery (70th, her second of the game) and Hannah Laurin with 50 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime, winning 3-1 on penalty kicks; then scored a 1-0 win over Northville in the Nov. 20 final as Kirsten Doran connected on a penalty kick in the 78th minute to finish a successful defense of their 2010 championship. “Remsen was the toughest game that we had by far,” head coach Karin Sherman Trombley said. “Once we beat them, we knew that we had a good chance of repeating.” Trombley said that she felt the road to the 2011 title was tougher than 2010, especially with the pressure of being the defending state champion. “Last year we played some great teams, but this year was more of a challenge,” Trombley said. “It’s tough to go back to back and defend a title.” In the semifinals, the Eagles had to battle back against Remsen star Erin O’Connor, who scored the opening goal of the match in the fourth minute of the game. The Eagles responded in the 13th minute with the first goal of the game by Emery, which was unassisted, as the game remained tied at 1-1 for the rest of the opening 40 minutes. In the 45th minute, O’Connor put Remsen back into the lead, then scoring an insurance goal in the 55th minute. The score remained the same for the next 15 minutes, when Caitlyn LaPier found Emery for her second goal in the 70th. Then, as time started to be counted in seconds and not minutes, LaPier crossed the ball into Laurin, who scored the equal-

izer. After 30 minutes of overtime and no goals, the two teams set up for penalty kicks, with Chazy shooting first with Dora

edges that would last through the third round. Megan Reynolds scored to start the fourth round, and Remsen was unable to respond, sending the Eagles to the state title game. “It was the most unreal game to anything that I had ever been a part of,” Trombley said about the comeback. “At halftime, Caitlyn said that it did not matter how much we were down, as long as we played to the end. She said we could be down in the final minute, but if we played hard we were still in it.” Trombley said that the team saw the overtime as a new game, and were able to contain O’Connor and get the game to kicks. “We practice those every day,” Trombley said. “It’s like taking foul shots in basketball, we do it at the end of every practice. We took a week at the start of the season to find our perfect five, and they have been shooting all year against Katharine Tooke, who is one of the best keepers in the state.” In the title game, the Eagles used a strong wind to their advantage in the first half but were unable to score despite an 81 advantage in shots. In the second half, the Eagles continued to pepper the net but were unable to get past Northville keeper Kristi Bills. In the 78th minute, a battle for the ball in the Northville penalty area resulted in a Falcon touching the ball with their hand, resulting in the call that set up Doran for her championship-winning penalty shot. “I called out for Megan (Reynolds), and the girls got together and said Kirsten,” Trombley said. “I have some strong leadership out there, and I let them make the call.” Trombley said that the team controlled the game but needed a break to get into the scoring column. “We had so many opportunities and we kept on pushing,” Trombley said. “Our defense was spectacular in the championship game. We just could not put the ball in the net until the end.” For the Eagles, the win represented a successful defense of the state title and third overall after earning a co-championship in 2007.

Chazy boys fall to Hamilton in final MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS — For the fourth time in as many years and third time in the title game, the Chazy Eagles had to get past Hamilton for a New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D title. Hamilton, which beat Chazy for the state title in 2008 and lost to the Eagles in the semifinals in their 2009 state title run and again in the 2010 title game, evened the score with a 1-0 win Nov. 20, stopping the Eagles from capturing their third straight state title and sixth overall. The Eagles, who had not allowed a goal since Jeff Bigelow of Willsboro tallied in the 60th minute of their Oct. 14 meeting (740 consecutive shutout minutes over 10 games), were unable to stop Hamilton’s Devin Askew from scoring in the 76th minute in a game where each team was able to get scoring chances but were denied by strong de-

fensive and goalie play. Austin Santor made five saves for the Eagles in the title game, while Hamilton goalie John Kerber made six saves on solid Chazy opportunities, including a key save in the 78th minute. The Eagles advanced to the state title game with a 3-0 win over Alfred-Almond, their eighth straight shutout win and 14th on the season. Brandon Laurin opened the scoring on a Nathan Reynolds assist in the eighth minute for the Eagles. Laurin also set up the third goal of the game, scored by Derek Drake, who had a strong year after being called up to the varsity squad, in the 59th. Hunter Dominy added an unassisted goal in the 11th minute, while Santor made six saves to preserve the shutout. The Eagles finished the season with a record of 18-4-0.

Hill and Hollow From page 1 year at Weatherwatch Farm in the town of Saranac’s backcountry, giving artists a place to “recharge their batteries in the beauty of the Adirondack.” “It’s been a place where artists can come and work without distractions in a quiet setting that’s under the radar,” said Brown, referring to the group’s 370-acre farm. During that time, however, plans to bring together the musical talents of people from across the North Country have formed and resulted in what is now known as the Northern Adirondack Vocal Ensemble, said Brown. The ensemble, conducted by Andrew Benware, director of choral activities

for Saranac Lake High School, is “a mixed chamber choir of professional and amateur singers, all of whom bring extensive previous choral experience to the group,” said Brown. The ensemble’s 20 members represent “a cross-section of the region, hailing from points in Clinton, Essex, and Franklin counties.” “Andrew is a wonderful conductor who grew up in Malone. He’s known and loved by a lot of people,” said Brown. “And, the ensemble is made up of people from all over — Plattsburgh, Champlain, Lake Placid, Tupper Lake, Keene Valley, Peru — all over.” The ensemble, also commonly referred to by its acronym, NAVE, has been rehearsing regularly for its two inaugural performances of “A Festival of Lessons and Carols,”

which members will perform next month in Plattsburgh and Lake Placid. “This will be a great program,” said Brown. The event will follow the traditional model of similar events performed annually on Christmas Eve at King’s College Chapel in Cambridge, England, since 1928, said Brown. The ensemble will perform a cappella versions of traditional German, Irish and Basque carols such as “In Dulci Jubilo,” “Wexford Carol,” and “Gabriel’s Message,” and familiar Advent and Christmas hymns like “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “Silent Night,” “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,” and “Joy to the World.” The vocal performances will be paired with nine short Bible readings from the Old and New Testa-

in a hodgepodge of reading selections and doing what many other book clubs do, focusing on one book that piques the interest of one of its members and encouraging others to flip though its pages. “It’s been a format that’s been quite successful,” said Morelock. Jane Hitchcock, a retired school librarian for Chazy Central Rural School, agreed. Hitchcock is among the founding members of the club who has found the club not only intellectually stimulating, but a good chance to socialize as well. “Most of us aren’t in any other type of group; many of us didn’t even know each

It’s very high quality.” The concerts are slated for Saturday, Dec. 17, at St. Peter ’s Church, 114 Cornelia St., Plattsburgh, and Sunday, Dec. 18, at St. Agnes Church, 169 Hillcrest Ave., Lake Placid.

Members of the club are also getting an introduction to the latest in technology when it comes to how they read their books. “The next time we meet, one of our members is going to bring in her Kindle and show us how to use it and what’s available,” Hitchcock said, referring to the increasingly popular E-readers which can store the text of thousands of books.
