Belcam Inc. receives $130 $130,000 in funding Funds to allow purchase of machinery and equipment to become more efficient By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
ROUSES POINT — Belcam Inc. has netted $130,000 for private label and export development. The funds, which were granted as part of the state’s regional economic development council awards last month, will go toward new equipment and machinery to allow the body care product company to become more
efficient and compete with other similar businesses. “This is a very competitive business,” said Fran Wynnik, export sales manager for Belcam. “We need to improve and we want to grow.” With this investment, along with targeting certain markets, Belcam hopes to grow their workforce, build sales and expand into global markets, including China and Russia. Currently, Belcam exports their products — bath products, fragrances and beauty tools for manicure, pedicure, hair care and skin care — to about 30 countries and sells their products in a variety of large retail stores, including Big Lots, Walmart and Burlington
Coat Factory. To keep up with competition, Belcam hasn’t set a price increase of their products in years. So, in order to grow, an investment needs to be made on new equipment that produces products more quickly, such as in labeling and packaging. Belcam started in 1946 and has been located in Rouses Point since 1954. It was originally a family-owned business and now it’s employee owned. Belcam started building their business in the past few years. With the help of this award, they’ll be able to expand more. “This is a terrific program because it does give businesses an opportunity to do things

ELIZABETHTOWN — While we’ve had an unusually mild winter so far, state officials are planning for the worst. On Tuesday, the state department of transportation revealed their newest tool in the fight against extreme weather — the tow plow. The devices, which attach as trailers to the back of standard dump trucks, can be hydraulically adjusted to swing out to the side of the truck. To the uninitiated, they may resemble jackknives cutting across the wintry landscape. But to the state, they resemble progress. Paired with the standard plow, the attachment doubles plow width and helps clear 24 feet of road, or two lanes, at once. The fleet, 62 in all, will also speed up response times and allow the state to better deploy their resources in the event of >> Story Continued | pg. 8

Hockey team sends hunger to the penalty box Beekmantown Eagles collect items, serve food to local residents in need By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — For members of the Beekmantown Eagles, sinking goals usually requires a puck and stick. But one after another over the holiday season, the high schoolers sank shots against hunger and need in the community by way of their volunteer work and charitable efforts. Every year, the boys hockey team — 26 kids from Beekmantown and Chazy Central — engage in several community service programs. This year, the team opted to fill backpacks for foster kids and volunteer at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Plattsburgh. Coach Justin Fresette said it’s important for players to learn the value of giving back to the community. Fresette said he grew concerned after hearing reports that kids in Clinton County’s foster care system were being placed into homes without proper items for daily life — things like toiletries and school supplies. “Their belongings are quickly thrown into garbage bags and then they go onto the next place,” said Fresette. The practice lacked a degree of dignity, he said. Teenagers have the greatest need, said Hannah Provost, a volunteer, because they move from one home to another. “It’s a very scary time for them,” Provost said.
Several groups, including the Plattsburgh Breakfast Kiwanis, the JCEO and the Chapel Hill Foundation, provided the backpacks. The boys did the rest. Each was assigned a list for items to collect or purchase. All delivered. The players not only met the goals, but filled the bags within the span of one week. “They went way above and beyond,” said Fresette. The Clinton County Department of Social Services has now been tasked with their distribution, some 150 in all. Senior Captain Brantley Marion said he and his teammates enjoyed the experience. “They all come to our games and support us when we play, so it’s great to give back to the community,” Marion said. Last week, the group volunteered at Trinity’s soup kitchen, where they helped prepare food, served dishes and mingled with the guests. “They loved us and we loved them,” said Marion. Provost said she enjoyed the group. “They just have a ton of compassion and a ton of energy — it just makes you feel good to be around them,” she said. “It was amazing to see how much they care about kids who are in a different situation from them.” Fresette said these are the real lessons that athletics can teach. “If we all do our part to pitch in a bit, we can make a difference.”

Local professor releases book on the KKK in New England By Teah Dowling
Richard released “Not a Catholic Nation” in November 2015 and is currently on sale for about $30 paper cover and $90 cloth cover. To purchase the book, visit Amazon or University of Massachusetts Press.
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — SUNY Plattsburgh professor Mark Richard recently released his second book “Not a Catholic Nation: The Ku Klux Klan Confronts New England in the 1920s.” In the book, Richard examines the KKK’s growth in New England and details the reactions of the region’s Catholic population, the Klan’s primary targets. Drawing on a wide range of sources — including French-language newspapers in the New England-Canadian borderlands; KKK documents in local, university and Catholic repositories and previous copies of the Maine Klansmen — Richard shows how the KKK was more active in the Northeast than previously thought. The book also takes into consideration the history of the U.S.-Canada borderlands, particularly the role of Canadian immigrants as both proponents and victims of the klan movement in the United States. Richard stated the KKK in New England could’ve been affiliated to the KKK activity that occurred in upstate New York, including the igniting of three crosses on Thanksgiving by KKK members in Plattsburgh in 1926. “The book tells an important story that we can’t overlook,” Richard said. “Many people were not aware that the KKK was active in the 1920s. and I’m hoping that this book will shed light on this forgotten history.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR Richard earned his associates degree from Bowdoin College in government and legal studies, master’s degree from the University of Maine and Ph. D from Duke University. Currently, Richard is a professor of history and Canadian studies at SUNY Plattsburgh. He is also the author of two other books: “Loyal but French: The Negotiation of Identity by French-Canadian Descendants in the United States” and a social studies textbook for students with middle school-level skills, which also was recently released in November. In the future, Richard currently has no plans to write another book or textbook, but he intends to write shorter articles.
A chance for local artists to inspire Amateur artists can hang their work for the community to enjoy. Local businesses participate in the program to help aspiring artists get recognized. By Alyse Clark
news@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — The Strand Center of the Arts is offering an opportunity for amateur artists to share their artwork with the community. Art will be available to view in nearly a dozen locations in Clinton County through an offsite program. The exhibition, said organizers, brings a community flair to local businesses, brightening the days of employees and their customers. “People work in these offices on a daily basis,” said Christina Elliot, the Strand’s curator. “It’s refreshing for them to have artwork switched every three months.” With this quarterly rotation, workers are not only provided with more variety in the office, but the artists are gaining more exposure, said Elliot. Art ranges from pastoral watercolors at the Valcour Imaging Center to digital photography at the Champlain Valley Physician’s Hospital. Some businesses get attached and purchase the work. Elliot said everyone benefits: Artists get a chance to make money doing something they enjoy, while also helping to connect those who share similar interests and have an interest in promoting

local art. Artists say the program has been helpful for several reasons. “It’s really helped me become established as an artist,” said photographer Ron Nolland. Nolland volunteered to help the program launch and has gained many connections and praise through the exhibits. After his first photograph sold, it wasn’t long before he was selling a full series to Best Western or asked to display his work in member shows. “I think it is one of the most successful things to help emerging artists.” Best Western said they were happy to help. Julie Kramer, Vice President of Nine Platt Hospitality Group, said the program has allowed them to decorate areas of their hotel that needed art. Feedback from guests has been positive, she said. “We just support the local community.” The program continues to expand and all artists are encouraged to apply. Artists can apply for either a 12 or 24 piece showing of framed work, and applications can be downloaded from the Strand website.

What lies ahead
016 Is here already? I can’t believe how fast the years seem to fly by. I can’t help but wonder if the fast pace of a wired society these days, where we are all so connected, lends to how quickly the years seem to slip by but they certainly seem to be slipping by at an unbelievable rate. The past year was one of major change both here at home in the United States and around the world. Terrorism, war, the economy, immigration, refugees, guns, rising debt and election turmoil seem destine to capture the headlines as we move into 2016 and beyond, in what should be another pivotal year in our ongoing nation’s story. It’s anyone’s guess what direction 2016 will take but we know for sure the next 10 months will be filled with major issues as candidates for both political parties do their best to explain what’s wrong and what they intend to do to fix America. One candidate will convince enough of us that they are the right person for the job. We can only hope and pray that we make a choice that’s right for the country and a new leader can find common purpose that the vast majority can support. I, for one, don’t think the country can stand much more polarization with the constant game of tugo-war played between the nation’s elected officials. We can’t continue tearing at the very fabric of the nation at a time when we need to be united in purpose. The audition for role as Commander and Chief is about to get serious as we finally move away from an over crowded field of want-to-bees and into the process of the run-off state primaries. This will be a time where we narrow down the field, while removing the pollsters from their predictions to discover what the electorate really believes about the issues and who they believe is best suited to lead this nation. 2016 holds a great deal of promise but at the same time presents potential risks to the stability of the world. We can only hope and pray that reasonable world leaders take steps to lessen the growing tensions and that all God’s people can take a step back and learn to live in harmony on this small planet we are forced to share.

County should consider allocating bed tax differently
G
olfing on Christmas! Can you believe it? While the full story won’t be revealed until spring, it’s likely the North Country tourism biz got a big kick in the pants from this stretch of unseasonable weather. But for towns in Essex County who aren’t Wilmington and Lake Placid, the vacant hotels and empty Main Streets is just business as usual. Let’s face it: We cannot rely solely on the free market to reverse course when it comes to creating and executing the huge events that will attract visitors to our region. We need more public investment. We’re not talking big fat slabs of pork from the state government — last month’s “Hunger Games” revealed the state has little appetite for supporting Olympic pipe dreams — but rather an adjustment for how the local bed tax is distributed. Essex County lawmakers finally put a long-simmering dispute to bed last year when they passed a law requiring vacation rental units to pay the 3 percent occupancy tax that traditional hoteliers have been paying for years. Conservative estimates say this will boost the total haul by at least 12 percent, bringing the number to about $2.3 million. Those revenues are then kicked over to the Regional Office for Sustainable Tourism, or ROOST, to promote the county’s tourism assets. ROOST generally allocates the lion’s share of those funds to the communities that generate the most tax, mainly North Elba and Wilmington. The little guys receive promotional support by web outreach, small-scale event promotion and other marketing techniques designed to drive overnight visitation. Additional monies can be freed up as part of a grant process — Ask and you shall receive, says ROOST — while this year, communities will also receive $50,000 as part of a “tourism enhancement fund” tied to the bed tax upgrade. Makes sense, right? Yes and no. For years, how the funds are allocated has become a “chicken or the egg”type scenario. Why should, say, Westport or Ticonderoga get an outsized chunk of change if they generated hardly any occupancy tax? Ordinarily, we’d say they shouldn’t. But desperate times call for desperate measures. And folks, it’s grim out there. It’s hard not to become cynical as our outlying communities continue to struggle as another year fades in the rearview. More closed businesses. More people leaving. Our communities have become ghost towns. Big events are needed to stimulate activity in the region. We agree with ROOST on most issues. We agree that large-scale events are one way to develop economic sustainability. We agree that dedicated groups of civic cheerleaders need to organize these events. And we agree that the private sector needs to spearhead growth in lodging, alongside recreational and retail infrastructure, to accommodate these visitors and accelerate economic growth in the community. But we disagree on how the funding is allocated. While ROOST’s strategy seems like a good one for the long-term, these plans will take years to come to fruition — perhaps close to a decade:
For one, there doesn’t appear to be a sense of urgency. Another is the lack of water and sewer infrastructure that prohibits retail and lodging businesses to expand in communities throughout the Adirondack Park. Towns need a boost now. And it can happen. A large influx of cash, for instance, could take a large-scale concert series at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport from a fleeting thought to reality within a year. It could make Elizabethtown the epicenter for a mountain bike race, or Ticonderoga the center of an international fishing derby. Essex County should consider a system like they have in Warren County, where the county turns over a designated amount of the bed tax to the towns. Committees, bolstered by tourism officials, then use a list of criteria to gauge the benefits of each potential project before distributing the funding. The infrastructure already exists here in the form of the “tourism destination areas” ROOST set up several years ago to draft blueprints for their communities. Giving them direct access to the pursestrings might help expedite some movement. ROOST often says that we need to think regionally — Lake Placid isn’t competing with Cape Cod, for instance, but rather Lake George. What a better way to think regionally then a more equitable distribution system? After years of investments, mega events like the Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest and IronMan Lake Placid now stand on their own. The only way for our surrounding areas to reach parity is several years of direct financial investment before tourism officials remove the training wheels. While it may seem retrograde to depart from the top-down approach, it may be time to put some autonomy back in local hands. Wilmington and Lake Placid may be the crown jewels when it comes to North Country tourism. But if they’re surrounded by the empty husks of once-vibrant communities, it’s a disservice to us all.

Christmas Carol a Sell Out in Ticonderoga
Response to Stand up to the NRA
To the Editor: The Festival Guild Players’ production of “Christmas Carol” was a big success with all four performances sold out. The audiences loved the modern adaption of this Charles Dickens classic which was written and directed by Vincent Smith. The production had a large cast of 38 actors whose ages ranged from preschool to retirees. The play had an interesting twist with a female Scrooge played perfectly by Jill Cunningham – she was stern and grumpy until the very end. Bob Cratchit, played by Scott Hill opened the play with a narration that set the stage for the production and ended the show with another narration that completed the story beautifully. The entire cast did an excellent job of delivering a magical theatrical experience for each of the four performances. Ticonderoga’s Community Building proved to be an intimate setting for “Christmas Carol” with production sets on the stage as well as on the floor in front of the stage. Actors entered and exited the stage through the aisles, often engaging the audience as they came and went. The audience felt very connected to the play and the characters. Sound and lighting were a critical component to the production. Bob Elling and Richard Timberlake designed the lighting and sound systems used. A terrific production crew of Scott Tyler, Andrew Rasmus, and Stuart Baker made the magic happen. The Festival Guild Players are very grateful to several benefactors who provided the funds used to purchase the new equipment. Funds were provided by the Town of Ticonderoga, the Ticonderoga Festival Guild, and International Paper. Grants were awarded by The Charles R. Wood Foundation as well as the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation; “Dedicated to improving the quality of life for yearround residents of the Adirondack Park.” Many people are now anticipating the next play which is expected to be a melodrama and is planned to be scheduled in late May or early June.

To the editor: I’m always surprised when someone mentions gun control and hunting in the same breath. There is a lot of “redirecting” out there these days, and redefining words to make a person’s views seem more palatable. Let’s be done once and for all with the idea that the second amendment has anything what so ever to do with hunting. Can we do that? Bury that thought forever. I’d love to never hear it again. Almost all of the constitution is designed to protect, we the people from the government. Every check and balance, every freedom that was recognized by the government, not allowed by the government. There were self evident then, what is different now? Here in the north, we know that phones may not be available. We know that should there be a need for a gun, one shot may not be enough. It’s part of our life here, it always has been. We have had these freedoms since this was a colony. Why the rush now to give them up? When your right to defend yourself and family is gone, what will you surrender next? Lets change the title here from “Stand up to the NRA,” to “Stand up for the NRA.” Fred V Provoncha Ticonderoga
Safe Driving To the Editor: The holiday season is one of the most dangerous times of the year for alcohol-related automobile accidents. The reason for this is the added stress the holidays bring as well as the fact that more people are drinking as part of numerous parties and other festivals. Lake Placid/Wilmington Connecting Youth and Communities Coalition, Lake Placid Police Chief William Moore, New York State Troop B Major Charles Guess, Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting and Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague join together to remind everyone that excessive drinking and driving is a serious offense with serious consequences to the offender and to their victims. Not only do offenders risk themselves, they also risk their passengers and anyone else who happens to be in their path. On November 18, 2009, Leandra’s Law was passed. It was named after 11-year-old Leandra Rosado, who was killed in a crash while a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver. With the passage of the law, New York mandated installation of an ignition interlock device for all drivers convicted of misdemeanor and felony drunk driving. A person who has interlock ignition on their vehicle must blow into the device to prove that they have not consumed alcohol. If the device detects alcohol, the vehicle will not operate. It also created a new Class E Felony charge for Driving While Intoxicated with a child passenger 15 years old or younger in the car. Sheriff Cutting, Chief Moore, Major Guess and District Attorney Sprague feel a special responsibility for keeping our roads safe, but you, the driving public, are where the responsibility is greatest. We know and understand the risks and we appreciate your dedication to safe driving, both on your own and hopefully as a designated driver for someone else. It is our hope that your holidays are filled with joy and happiness. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Sheriff, Richard Cutting Chief, William Moore Major Charles Guess District Attorney, Kristy Sprague Tina Clark, CYC Coordinator
All youth groups should be recognized To the Editor: Any fool can criticize and many do. There are times, however, when we are called upon to focus our attention on “sins of omission” and at least make an attempt to right a wrong. While it is applaudible to see our sports “heroes” recognized by several pages of sporting events, one ponders about the lack of recognition of the numerous young people not into activities known as sports! I sincerely hope it is not because we consider them of a lesser value to our society. We have boy scouts, girl scouts, brownies and cub scouts, 4H and FFA members. There are church related groups such as Newman Club, Demolay, Rainbow girls and others. Should the achievements of science clubs, the drama and music departments all take a backseat to the basketball and football squads? Why do we not publicly recognize the coral groups, who visit the nursing homes, the boys and girls who shovel the walks of the Senior Citizen? I would greatly enjoy the doings of the drama, art, and music departments shared with the general public so that those participating in these activities are given the recognition they rightfully deserve. Here is an opportunity to right a wrong. We speak of equal opportunity. Can we not at least consider giving ALL of our youngsters the recognition they rightfully deserve. John W. Ward Peru
Response to Ed Hatch To the Editor: This is in response to Ed Hatch’s “Be wary of ambulance districts”. I am a EMT in the the Willsboro Fire Department and have served our community for the past 10 years. I agree with Ed that we have existing problems that should be addressed. The large number of calls to the Willsboro Assisted Living Center, misuse of the ambulance, lack of EMTs, and the increase in population during the summer months. The Willsboro Assisted Living has some 50 to 60 elderly residents, 20 of which live on the memory ward. This is 60 higher risk residents in our community. The number of calls here is not unusual for this for a place like this. Misuse of the ambulance? Define misuse. What you and I consider a minor ailment can be a full blown emergency for someone else. Thank god that we have non-judgemental EMTs who respond with compassion to everyone’s emergency. Lack of EMTs. That Ed is the real issue and the reason the ambulance districts were formed. We need more EMTs! More volunteers in the fire departments and rescue squads! It’s been noted that everyone who has been critical of the ambulance districts is NOT a volunteer. The large increase in population during the summer months is due to the beauty of the Adirondacks. People come from all over the world to enjoy this wonderful area. While they are here, the deserve and expect a rapid response to their emergencies. Most are amazed that we are volunteers. They are all used to paid fire and EMS. To put it simply, the lack of volunteerism is a direct result of Willsboro and Essex forming ambulance districts. So I beg you again, join us in serving our communities on the front line of emergency care. Then, if you want to criticize, criticize from within. With a understanding of what we are really doing, serving our fellow man in their time of need. Thank god we still have some volunteers out there who answer the call day or night, day after day.

Silver Bay impacts community with taxes To the Editor: I must agree with the letter to the editor That “Silver Bay YMCA continues to have an impact on community”. The letter does list programs that are available to family’s and children not only in Ticonderoga, but the entire North Country. Some of the impact, in my opinion, is not always so positive. Silver Bay YMCA has a mile of shore line on Lake George with many acres of land and buildings galore. As a religious organization they don’t have to pay taxes on all of those resources. This puts the burden on the residents of the town to make up the difference. Oh they do make a “donation” to the town but nothing close to the value that the town would realize from homes and business on that same property. I have heard that the YMCA septic system is going to be replaced. I’m sure that they are not going to do this without a reason. There are two types of septic systems, one that has failed and one that is going to fail. Money was donated for a building addition but is now going to replace the septic system. Why not work with the town to help with an addition to the town sewer system and avoid additional pollution to our wonderful lake.

Rebuttal to Ms. Dixon To the Editor: This was a rebuttal to a letter to the editor: Ms. Dixon’s recent editorial I respect Ms. Dixon for stating her opinion regarding the cartoon depicting a Muslim woman as a human bomb but I feel that she has misunderstood the intent of the cartoon. In my opinion this cartoon was making an excellent statement. It identified the fact that anyone, man woman or child, as misguided as they may be, can and will harm innocent Americans as well as innocent citizens of other democracies. This cartoon has absolutely nothing to do with sexism. Again, in my opinion, this well presented cartoon, identifies just how vulnerable we are to radical attacks. Plain and simple!

COMMENTARY
Little Bits Do you believe in Angels? Gordie Little
Columnist
S
ome believe they’re all around us. They certainly played a significant role in the Christmas story. Songs have been written about them and a number of movies have featured them. What are they? Angels. I have my own opinion and you no doubt have one as well. Those who know me have read and listened to my stories of such things for a long time. In recent years, I have carried a portfolio of photographs with me to enhance some of what I call “true” ghost stories. Kaye and I enjoy midnight mass each year at St. Alexander’s Church in Morrisonville and this year was no exception. I was asked to videotape it and was happy to do so. The music was outstanding. For us and a packed sanctuary, it was the perfect way to celebrate the “reason for the season.” Our friend Jason Cerone is an accomplished photographer and some of his images surrounding the recent prison break have received widespread acclaim. He and David Nelson attended the St. Peter’s midnight mass in Plattsburgh this year and one of his photographs has “gone viral,” as they say in the digital age vernacular. At first he didn’t see anything out of the ordinary when he snapped a shot of the beautiful altar. Then, it hit him like a ton of bricks. What was that filmy image on the left side next to the Christmas tree? He showed it to me and I was astounded. I begged him to enlarge that portion so I could examine it very carefully. The longer I stared at it, the more I was overcome by the feeling that I was seeing something glorious and special. You don’t need to view it with a vivid imagination. It’s an angel with moving wings, plain and simple. It’s that obvious. I’ve looked at many such pictures, but this one stands out from all the rest. It’s important to be somewhat skeptical of such things and we began to ask questions. That’s the proper thing to do. Were there altar servers up there before mass? Was a candle being swung to and fro? Was there a reflection from an overhead light off one of the stained glass windows? The answer is “no” to all of the above. Jason said his photo was taken before the lights around the altar were turned on and before the candles were lit. Clergy and church workers are both pleased and puzzled. One wrote, “We believe angels exist and whether or not this is some sort of photographic glitch doesn’t matter because it gets people talking about religion.” Amen to that. Jason posted an anonymous quote on a social site a few days ago: “Sometimes angels are just ordinary people that help us believe in miracles again.” I agree. Kaye and I have seen miracles in our own family. And we believe. Do you? Happy New Year. Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

here are innumerable events happening all over the North Country this week, ranging from small bar meet-ups to gallery expositions to town-wide blowouts. ‘Tis the season to celebrate, after all. Now, we have another reason to rejoice and be merry: The holidays are almost over. But before we heave the final sigh of relief, here are a few of our favorite celebrations happening in the area.
PartyÊ likeÊ itÕ sÊ 2016
Enjoying a pint – or two – and listening to some great local music: Is there any better way to unwind after the chaos of Christmastime? If there is, I have yet to find it. Here’s a closer look at a few of the bands playing in the North Country this week. Take your pick, listen live, and let the stress of the season fall away. Smoke Signals on Lake Placid’s Main Street will host Sophistafunk on Jan. 2. Since 2007, the popular Syracuse-based outfit has been wowing crowds with their self-described “funky, grimy mix of hip-hop, live drums and Moog savagery.” Need we say more? Show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $5. If your New Year’s resolution is to improve your singing voice, start the year off with perfect pitch by checking out the Monopole’s ever-popular open mic night in Plattsburgh. The next installment is Wednesday, Jan. 6 at 10 p.m.

Sometimes, it’s easy for us to forget how lucky we are to live in the North Country. In the wintertime, we slide from place to place with snow crunching under our boots and we’re so busy trying not to fall, trying to find that perfect gift, trying to solidify our plans, that we forget to look around us. This season, let’s stop and smell the wood smoke. There is art and poetry all around us. The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls is currently featuring artwork by Audrey Flack, a pioneer in photorealism, and a nationally recognized painter, printmaker and sculptor. The drawings and prints on view focus on women neglected or demonized by history. The exhibition, titled Heroines, is on display from now until Jan. 3. General admission to the Hyde Collection is $15.

When the party is over — when the slate is wiped clean and the year is new — what do we do next? We resolve to start over again. On New Year’s Day, start your year off right with the LaChute Road Runners. Their 15th annual 5K Resolution Run begins at 11 a.m. near the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum. For kids, a 1K run will start at 11:30. Registration opens at 10:15 a.m. An entry fee of $2 or two canned goods is requested to benefit the Ticonderoga Food Pantry. For more information, visit lachute.us. And don’t forget that despite the warm weather, the Olympic region is continuing to offer a wealth of activities. For the full list, visit lakeplacid.com/ holidays. The holiday season is almost over and still snow has yet to stick to the ground. Without that cumbersome slush, it somehow doesn’t feel like December. And yet with all of the incredible events happening this week, I have to ask myself: is this a blessing in disguise?

While the trucks will continue to be manned by a single operator, all drivers have received eight additional hours of mandatory training, including at a closed loop at an Albany office complex. Two cameras will aid operators and reduce blind spots, while a rear lighting package mimics the lights of the truck body, Viggiani said.

An attached hopper also spits out salt onto the roadways. The devices are expected to reduce fuel, maintenance and labor costs. Motorists are urged to treat the vehicles, whose scope may initially be alarming, as regular plows, which means prudent driving speeds and no passing. “If you’re on the Northway and you get stuck behind one of these things, you just have to be patient,” Viggiani said. The machines, which cost about $100,000 each, come as part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s NY Responds initiative, which allocated $50 million for new winter storm equipment and created a comprehensive new approach for emergency preparedness. McKinistry, 52, was also a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, the international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17thcentury Europe, and an artist who shared her creations on Facebook — sketches of exotic beauties; iconography from fantasy novels and photos of swirling North Country sunsets. McKinistry, whose memorial service was on Monday, leaves behind a mother, daughter, sister and husband, among
other relatives. “I hope Erika McKinstry’s husband sees all the love that is going out in the world today in memory of his wife,” wrote Marsha Lodge on the Art Abandonment Facebook page. “I know it can’t heal the pain he must be in, losing her so close to the holidays, but just like being an organ donor, she is touching the lives of so many people even though she is gone.”

Local hoops officials not fond of Binghamton move NYSPHSAA Exec. Council votes to move boy’s tournament out of Glens Falls Civic Center By Keith Lobdell and Thom Randall keith@suncommunitynews.com
GLENS FALLS — The Glens Falls Civic Center has been the home to the championship moments of the NYSPHSAA boys basketball tournament since 1981. But, the buzzer has now sounded on that run. After the boys basketball committee voted 7-4 in favor of leaving the 2017 through 2019 tournaments in Glens Falls, the executive committee voted 14-8 to move the event to Binghamton. In 2017, the tournament will be held in Floyd L. Maines Veteran’s Memorial Arena, which has undergone a $2-plus million dollar renovation as part of a continuing effort to win the bid. It beat out the Civic Center as well as the OnCenter War Memorial Arena in Syracuse. New York State Public High School Athletic Association President Stephen Broadwell said the renovations as well as financial support were part of the decision. “Based on discussions from around the state and the various sets of eyes that have reviewed the bid proposals, the Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena offers a first class venue including recent renovations, hotels within walking distance, geographic location in the state and they have pledged no charge for arena as well as guaranteed $30,000 to NYSPHSAA to offset expenses,” said Broadwell, the Willsboro Central School Superintendent. The committee who made the final vote included two representatives from each section, with the voting blocs for Sections II, VII, X and IX favoring Glens Falls. All other sections voted in favor of Binghamton. “While I do not know each individual Sections rationale for voting as they did, travel tends to be a major consideration for many sections around the State,” Broadwell said. “The closer the state championship is to each section, the less travel, cost and time out of school is faced by school districts.” Joe Staves, representing PHS, and Patricia Ryan-Curry of Indian Lake, who serves as the President of Section VII, voted on the measure. “The Section VII Athletic Council reviewed the two bids submitted to the NYSPHSAA and voted for Glens Falls as the site,” Curry said. “As the current president of Section VII, I can tell you that Glens Falls was the preferred site for Section VII due its location, safety of the Glens Falls area, proven record of generated revenue, efficiency of administration of the tournament by local volunteers and the size of the venue.” Curry said she was upset the executive committee did not follow the basketball committee’s recommendation. “It is too bad the majority of the NYSPHSAA executive committee didn’t heed the recommendation of the boys basketball committee,” she said. “That committee voted 7-4 for Glens Falls. Three sections voted against their boys basketball committee representative. The boys basketball committee is in place to do what is best for boys basketball. One representative from each of the 11 sections is on the committee, many of whom have been on the committee for years. They and every other sport committee is called on to do what is best for their sport. It is very disappointing their expertise and wisdom was not respected.” Section VII boys basketball head Brian Cross, who has guided the Moriah Vikings to consecutive Final Four appearances and is hopeful to make it three in a row for the final year of the Civic Center’s tenure as host site, shared in Curry’s frustrations. “I certainly am not happy, but could read the writing on the wall,” Cross said. “It’s all about the money.” “Section VII supported the return to Glens Falls Civic Center for Boys Basketball Championships based on the recommendation from the Boys Basketball Committee, the long term success of the tournament at this venue, the positive environment and that was provided in Glens Falls, and the easy access for area teams and fans to attend,” Section VII Executive Director Karen Lopez said. “From a personal perspective the decision is bittersweet because of the many times I was able to attend this championship event and the disappointment felt by North Country fans that regularly attend this annual event. I also sympathize with the Glens Falls and Boys Basketball Committees who put a tremendous amount of time and effort in developing this championship event that was successful in so many ways. “But, I also have confidence that the people in the Binghamton will provide a wonderful experience for the athletes and teams that make it to the NYSPHSAA Boys Basketball Final Four, which is really what these championship events are about,” Lopez added. Section II Executive Director Wayne Bertrand said the track record at the Civic Center was a big part of their vote to keep the tournament at the Civic Center.
“By an overwhelming majority our Athletic Council strongly voted for Glens Falls,” Bertrand said. “It has been a long held opinion that the committee has run a great tournament over the years. Personally, I was disappointed by the decision. I have some fond memories of attending games there and watching some great basketball. The bar has been set high for the people in Binghamton.” Broadwell said Glens Falls will be a welcomed bidder in the next cycle of determining the host site for the boys tournament, which will most likely be awarded in the late fall of 2018. “Glens Falls has been an excellent host of the NYSPHSAA Basketball Tournament for over 30 years,” Broadwell said. “The City of Glens Falls, the Civic Center as well as the hundreds of volunteers each year that have helped organize NYSPHSAA State Championships have afforded stu- Adam Jaquish and the Moriah Vikings boys varsity basketball team has made three appearances (2003, 2014, dent-athletes and spectators 2015) in the NYSPHSAA Final Four at the Glens Falls Civic Center, and is hoping to add a fourth in 2016, the an outstanding experience. final year the tournament will be held at the Civic Center before moving to the Floyd L.
