Rouses Point officials discussing 1/2 mile loop

Wadhams resident reflects on 105 years

Rouses Point speed limit reduction declined

State DOT denies request to decrease traffic speed through downtown U.S. 11

By Teah Dowling

ROUSES POINT — The NYS Department of Transportation has declined to decrease speed limit on U.S. 11 within the village.

Kenneth Bibbins, regional traffic engineer, sent a letter to the board stating that further reduction could not be granted at this time.

“The speed study we did for the area in question did not indicate that an additional reduction was warranted,” said Michael Flick, regional public information officer of the NYSDOT, in an email. “We consulted with the state police and

PullingÊf or

were in agreement on the decision.”

The study focused on U.S. 11 within in the village limits – stretching almost 2 miles.

The road, also referred to as Lake Street, has a 30 mile speed limit.

Trustee Thomas Dart believes it should be down to 25 miles.

The winding nature of the road, paired with large trucks traveling through the stretch, make for a thorny set of circumstances, said the trustee, especially when lined with parked cars.

Dart made the request last fall before taking office due to what he referred to as a “tremendous amount” of truck traffic in the downtown area.

Initially, Dart proposed the idea to the previous adminis>> See Speed Limit | pg. 5

Northern Adirondack to continue pre-K programming

Plattsburgh

District to receive $340,000 in state funding for 2016-17 school year

City partners with Nova Bus to create new Mayor’s Cup event PLATTSBURGH — It’s almost time to pull for Plattsburgh.

City officials and members of the Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary have announced this year’s list of events for Mayor’s Cup. Teah One new event for this year is the Nova Dowling Bus Bus Pull.

Writer Teams of six will be required to pull a 40,000 pound bus with a 20-foot rope for 100 feet.

The team who gets through City Hall Place the fastest wins.

Paul DeDominicas, community development director, gave the new event a test run with his wife and three buddies.

“It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “I mean, who doesn’t want to pull a bus.”

The team, who all train at North Country CrossFit, pulled it 60 to 70 feet during the test run.

DeDominicas said the hardest part was the first initial pull.

Once it got going, it became easier.

“Our training definitely paid off,” he said.

DeDominicas and his team plan on entering the competition during Mayor’s Cup.

The NYS Department of Transportation denied the request to decrease the speed limit on U.S. 11 throughout the village of Rouses Point.

He shared one piece of advice for interested participants: “Gloves help.”

Geddes said the committee decided to start this event due to the increasing popularity of strongman competitions.

The partnership with Nova Bus, Geddes said, is an attempt to become more visible and involved with Plattsburgh.

“They’re just a party type of group,” said Geddes.

There will be men, women and co-ed divisions.

Interested individuals will be required to sign a waiver.

Geddes said a website will soon be put up for early registration.

ELLENBURG DEPOT — After receiving $340,000 in state funds, Northern Adirondack CSD plans on continuing its pre-K program for a full year next year.

The district received funding, approximately $280,000, for the first time in November of last year.

With the funds, Northern Adirondack launched its first pre-K classroom for a maximum of 20 students from 8 a.m. to 2:25 p.m., where they followed the state’s pre-K learning instruction standards and offered the children field trip opportunities and free breakfast and lunch.

“We’re very happy to continue our pre-K program next year,” Superintendent Laura Marlow said. “It’s an exciting opportunity for our pre-school children.”

Northern Adirondack approved their 2016-17 spending plan last week.

The district, School Business Executive Brian Tousignant said, is well below the tax cap by 3.5 percent.

Taxes, however, will increase by 2.5 percent — setting the tax rate at $11.93.

City to install Saratoga replica playground at City Beach

For more information or updates, visit cityofplattsburghny.gov.

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Mayor James Calnon announced his contribution for the Saratoga replica playground at City Beach at last week’s meeting.

The city allocated $34,000 toward the new playground modeled after the USS Saratoga built by New York ship builder Noah Brown during the time of the USS Saratoga built

by New York ship builder Noah Brown during the Battle of Plattsburgh.

The project costs a total of $74,000. The other $40,000 came from grants.

Calnon is chipping in $6,000.

To begin replenishing the money put forward by the city, Calnon offered to go first by taking his share out of his own pockets.

“I already wrote the check,” he said.

The mayor decided to start a challenge stating he’ll match every donation until the funds are replenished.

“If need be, I’ll come up with the money over time,” he said.

“I don’t want to cost the city any money.”

Calnon made a campaign promise to donate $500 a month toward various activities, such as the Max Moore Memorial Tree House.

This time, all $6,000 of his contributions will be put toward the playground, which has yet to be named.

The Saratoga-like structure will feature multiple climbing stations, a spinning ship wheel, a slide and more.

“It will be smaller than the original,” he said. “And the cannons won’t work.”

Initially, the playground was going to cost around $40,000.

However, city officials decided to make the structure ADA compliant — bumping the price up by $30,000 more.

“We’re trying to send a message that Plattsburgh offers programs and activities for everyone,” Calnon said.

The mayor said the structure should be up and revealed during the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration in September.

The anchor from the Confiance, a ship used in the Battle of Plattsburgh, sits in City Hall. Soon, another ship from the BOP era, known as the Saratoga, will also be recognized at City Beach as an accessible playing structure.

Wadhams resident reflects on 105 Public invited to join Wadhams resident Don Taylor as he celebrates his 105th birthday on Saturday

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WADHAMS — Don Taylor leaned back in his armchair and recalled his recipe for tasty salt pork.

Fatten the pig with a mixture of cornmeal and hot water.

Then examine its side — “That’s where the plump pork comes from” — before butchering, carving it up and smoking the animal.

Taylor advises smoking meat all day before lining the bottom of a barrel with a half-inch of salt. After cutting the meat into bricks, alternate placement between layers of salt and meat, using boards to separate them.

Cover with water and wait.

The meat will eventually grow hard. When it does, slice a piece off. Fill a frying pan with about an inch of water and let it come to a good boil.

Roll the pork in flour and drop it in.

That’s how his mother used to do it, Taylor recalled.

Taylor sat in the front room of the farmhouse where he has lived since birth.

Outside, a warm wind blew through the willows and maple trees and up the dirt road that bears his name.

Taylor turns 105 on Saturday.

How does he feel?

“Pretty good, I think,” he said. “I don’t feel anything different than six months ago — I got my rings, I work out every day.”

Taylor does 50 curls at a stretch — sometimes 100, he said, if he’s sitting in his chair.

He patted his dog, Bucky, as his woodstove crackled.

Like folks still do, Taylor made his living off the land.

A group of 12 cows would provide the milk that he sold to a local dairy, Anson’s, which closed sometime in the early 1970s.

Taylor’s father ran a small blacksmith shop on the 220 acre parcel. Milling apples for cider also provided a steady income.

The family used a handmade wooden apple press in the

barn, a series of four buildings that dates back to March 22, 1863.

Both still exist.

Apples came from all over — Au Sable Forks, Cadyville, Morrisonville, Keeseville… even as far south as Ticonderoga, Taylor recalled.

One autumn brought a bumper crop of 15,000 gallons, kept in aluminum barrels and beer jugs.

The land kept him busy. After chores, Taylor would work on town roads and aid his neighbors with threshing — “Bees, they’d call them,” said his neighbor, Gary Anson — and play horseshoes, a lifelong hobby introduced to him by a visit from a pair of lightning rod salesman in 1926.

Trophies from years of competitions lined the wall of his home.

Taylor also played a mean fiddle at the Wadhams Grange, which he joined in 1924 as a teenager.

The fraternal organization held dances every two weeks.

His mom — a Daniels girl from up the road — kept the books.

One dance, Taylor recalled, saw 219 tickets sold.

“It used to be quite a busy place,” Taylor said of Wadhams, the country crossroads that once counted a handful of shops, a sawmill, a post office and a grist mill.

Taylor attended a one-room schoolhouse which still stands today, right near where the Adirondack Northway cuts through the farmland.

It was a Monday in November when Taylor heard the bells ring.

The Taylors didn’t have a phone. His mother sent him over to see what all the fuss was about.

World War II had ended.

He was 7.

Taylor, an only child, comes from strong stock. His mother died on her 95th birthday, and his father passed away in 1952 at the age of 77. A cousin lived to be 97.

School was fun and he had lots of friends.

Taylor fondly recalled schoolboy pranks, like when he and a pal lit off a stick of dynamite.

He chuckled.

“He’s still pretty sharp,” Anson said.

Electric budget billing available Program open to most residents

ROUSES POINT — Commencing Wednesday, June 1, the village of Rouses Point Municipal Electric Department will make available to residential customers of the system, who have a two year clear record with the utility, the opportunity to pay their electric charges by a budget billing arrangement. Based upon previous years’ usage and a projected per kilowatt hour cost including supplemental power charge, a customer’s annual electric expense will be estimated and then paid in eleven payments, with the remaining month (May) used to reconcile the underpayments or overpayments.

Anyone wishing to participate in this program should contact the Accounting Department at the Village Office by phoning 297-5502 ext. 315 or ext. 332 Monday through Friday, prior to Tuesday, May 31, between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. After that date, the entry into the program will not be allowed until May 2017.

All customers presently will remain with the Budget amount appearing on the top portion of their bill commencing with the June bills.

This program is open to all residential customers who meet the above requirements.

Marlow said it was the lowest rate in Clinton County.

“We try to maintain a steady tax rate each year,” Tousignant added.

Tousignant said the district will be maintaining its programming for the 2016-17 fiscal year, despite the state budget.

Over the last six years, Northern Adirondack has lost over $3 million to the Gap Elimination Adjustment, which will be eliminated in one year.

Tousignant said over $1 million has been restored over the course of five years.

The budget, he said, is fairly consistent with last year with a few amount of changes.

A part-time tech-coordinator will be hired to due to the growth of the district’s involvement with the Smart Schools Bond Act. The statewide budget will maintain $340 million in annual funding for the full-day pre-K program.

tration for Lake Street in between Gaines Marina and the Rouses Point Civic Center — approximately a half mile stretch.

Due to a misunderstanding, he said, the board requested a study be done on all of U.S. 11 within the village limits.

“I think that’s a big reason as to why it got tanked,” he said during the meeting.

The investigation followed a template of several factors. One is roadside development. Several businesses are located along the downtown stretch.

Another factor is accident history.

Village officials said they’re unsure of how many accidents have occurred on Lake Street.

“I don’t think there’s been any serious accidents,” said Mayor Daniel Letourneau during the meeting.

Flick stated in an email that the accident history for the area did not reveal any accident patterns that would be affected by an additional speed reduction.

He said most accidents were related to driver inattentiveness, such as failure to yield and hitting a chainsaw in the road.

Letourneau accepted the failed investigation.

“Looks like it’s going to stay that way,” he said during the meeting.

Northern Adirondack Central School District plans on continuing its pre-K program for next year. The district will be receiving $340,000 from the state.

The right of dialogue

ast week’s column where I suggested that Sanders and Trump might continue their fights to reform the political process by running together on an independent ticket, should their highly popular campaigns be shutdown by the two parties, has received a fair amount of commentary this week.

It seems the column struck a nerve on both sides of the aisle. My concern here goes well beyond their candidacies and any speculation about their future.

I did not begin writing this weekly column because I am highly opinionated and needed an outlet for my thoughts, although some of our readers believe that to be the case. I began writing because I saw too many people, even within our staff, who wanted to draft opinion pieces anonymously and be shielded from public response and personal attacks.

While I’m not a talented writer like our Pete DeMola, I try to lead by example, and this column was the end result.

The anonymous approach may be popular on the internet, but it doesn’t help to foster a respectful dialogue over issues of great importance. In that environment people seem more compelled to respond with insults and derogatory comments versus facts and sound arguments to support their position.

A democracy such as ours can’t properly function in that manner. We must retain the ability to be open minded toward all issues and not be bullied or influenced by threats of violence when our opinions differ.

What concerns me most in our political process today is we’ve lost touch with the ability to debate the issues without trying to degrade, insult or threaten the person who wishes to stand up and share their opposing thoughts.

I’m a big boy and have been in the public eye from many years, as such, I’m thick skinned enough to understand both the low blows and the high praise while not taking any of it too seriously.

The goal here is to stimulate open discussion but in doing so we also see and hear far too many who are intimidated and afraid to speak up because of the threatening nature of our disagreements these days.

We are a community, a country and a world with many differing beliefs. We all need to accept and respect our differences while trying to live our short lives here on this planet. If we can not do so the future will indeed be a rocky one as each group tries to impose it’s will on those not willing to push back with ideas and solutions.

Beep beep, here comes fraud

W

asteful government spending, for many, is an abstract concept: Perhaps it’s a figure of speech that folks toss around. A buzzword in newspaper columns, an image from a fading political campaign — even a dog whistle depending on where you stand on the political spectrum.

But here in the North Country, visible reminders of a government run amok cruise our streets daily.

Medicaid taxis.

Essex County spent $2.5 million last year paying for medical transportation for Medicaid recipients — All 378 of them.

Now this would be ludicrous enough if these were all legitimate trips by patients in need of medical treatment.

After all, for $6,613 per person, you could buy them each a very nice used car for that amount.

But we’re doubtful considering the horror stories we’ve been hearing since a heroic Essex County whistleblower blew the roof off this crooked scam last summer — It’s pretty ingenious: Incorporate a cab company. Link up to the state’s registry. Drive people to wherever they want to go. Then stick state and federal taxpayers with the bill.

Do it again and again until you turn a tidy profit.

Boom, you’re on cruise control. Just don’t get caught.

New York State caps county Medicaid costs at $6.9 million annually. As such, local governments generally incorporate that number into their spending plans, thank the heavens that it’s not higher and go on with their daily business.

That means attention isn’t really focused on this industry until one of the operators raises eyebrows with their misbehavior.

Like getting into a fender bender.

Or violating privacy procedures.

Or, in the case of one Broome County operator, bombing around in an unlicensed vehicle while allegedly defrauding the government of $80,000 within two years.

More are inevitably out there, haunting the streets.

No checks, no balances.

But the state doesn’t seem to be putting the brakes on this mutant industry, which has mushroomed overnight.

In July 2012, the state health department shifted the responsibility from counties to provide Medicaid transportation to a private company based in Syracuse.

Doing so, they said, would save the state money as it continues to embark on Medicaid reforms.

But figures are scant because the health department isn’t talking.

While oversight mechanisms are said to exist, the health department isn’t dishing on those, either.

This opacity has even been noted by the state comptroller’s office, who said in a report last year that an unfortunate “side effect” of the state’s move to managed care has been reduced transparency with regard to the use of Medicaid dollars.

Even county officials are skeptical that complaints are being reviewed in an expedient manner.

Now that local officials are getting wise to the issue, discussions about possible regulations have begun to percolate to the surface.

It’s a noble cause.

But is the solution of big government more government?

We’re skeptical.

To us, this unfairly penalizes law-abiding citizens at the expense of the fraudulent few.

It really is a microcosm of the bigger problems in our country.

Not only is the state’s Medicaid transport industry warped, but so is the overall entitlement system.

Barron’s recently likened the relationship states have with the federal government’s Medicaid program as a “three-card monte,” a cozy relationship that relies on an incestuous cycle to keep the dollars flowing — even more so now that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land.

We agree.

But we also acknowledge that health care is an enormously complex issue that can’t be summarized in soundbites.

And because Medicaid plays such a large role in our state’s overall health care system, we understand efforts to limit spending could lead to the costs being shifted into the public sector.

As such, we agree with the comptroller that the state health department should continue to be transparent on each major step in this major overall.

Because right now, this waste is enough to give anyone a heart attack.

The good news is, beep beep, folks — a free ride to the hospital is just a phone call away.

GUEST VIEWPOINT

SCOTT OSBORNE sosborne@elcsd.org

> ELCS

superintendent

R

ecently a letter was published expressing a viewpoint of dissatisfaction with two school districts which are purposefully sharing athletics programs in order to provide opportunities for students.

The letter cites a ‘short-term addition of good players’ as a major emphasis for the sharing of sports between two schools. Additionally the individual accuses students, parents, alumni and community members of being ‘brainwashed’ into the belief that sharing educational programs and services, such as sports, is bad. The intention of this joint endeavor couldn’t be further away from what Mr. Mazzotte claims in his letter.

The primary reason for the merging of athletics programs (on an asneeded basis) between Elizabethtown-Lewis CSD and Westport CSD is for student-athletes to have an opportunity to play sports. A school district’s ability to provide a well-rounded experience for students, including arts and athletics, has been challenged by fiscal shortfalls and declining enrollment. Particularly in smaller districts the enrollment decline has been sharp and so has the decline, in some cases, in participation. It would be very simple for a Board of Education to say, “There’s not enough students to field a team, so we don’t play.” That’s the case in some places, but neither school board here supports that approach, which could be damaging to students.

While one school within the partnership may have less interested participants than the other, the reverse happens a year after. In 2014 one school had ‘lower’ numbers of interested participants, and in 2015 the opposite was the case - yet in the spirit of partnership there’s no scoreboard for which school contributes more athletes to the team. For the long-term sustainability of both schools we’re more concerned about all, not some.

We have the ability to look beyond school district boundaries - which are nothing more than lines drawn for taxation - and view all students as our shared responsibility.

Shared athletics teams have many benefits beyond simply being able to field a team. Student athletes experience an increase in social interaction beyond the circle of peers at their school each day. Our small communities become larger communities when student-athletes interact with others outside of their daily norms. Experiencing new viewpoints, exchanging

ideas, promoting sportsmanship and forging new friendships have been positive consequences of our ELW Griffins athletics programming. In small rural areas with limited diversity, our student-athletes are expanding themselves socially and emotionally.

The decision to share sports teams is not a decision made in the best interest of adults. It’s made in the best interests of our students. Quite often adults are caught in the comfort of complacency, routine and convenience, so facing change then becomes difficult. Sharing of athletics teams requires open communication, patience, commitment to fine detail and dedication to listening. The majority of parents from both schools have been supportive of this endeavor, and have provided both schools feedback on how to improve our concept. We have listened, considered the feedback and made various changes, most notably - holding home athletics contests in both communities to ensure the maintenance of identify for both sponsoring schools.

Students have already merged; they did so a long time ago, and they have left behind them the mindset that a color, animal or mascot defines their identity. In the case where adults fail to recognize that - you’ve already fallen behind.

A school’s identity is not necessarily forged by colors or by a mascot.

Symbolic use of an animal matched with a specific set of colors doesn’t ‘make’ a school culture. Certainly the school’s mascot and colors serve as a point of reference, an icon, a symbol, and it’s fun to rally behind a common goal using a mascot to identify ourselves.

The true creation of school’s identity is forged in relationships between students, staff and families. Identity comes from how we treat each other as professionals, cemented by cultural norms of communication, mutual understanding, and a common vision for a better product that will serve students. Identity comes from the decisions we make, the motivation for those decisions, and how we prioritize our time and resources to support providing kids a well-rounded education.

Simply stated, our identity as schools is defined by how we treat students, how we serve the community, and how we work with cooperation, mutual respect, and civility with each other to accomplish the mission. There’s nothing ‘brainwashing’ about that intention.

The rising tide lifts all boats.

Most importantly, we thank the 132 people who came out this year and made this evening so special while supporting an amazing cause� Thanks, too, to all volunteers that made this event happen.

Carolyn Bischoff, Executive Director

To the editor: Last December, the Sun informed its readers of the Westport Bicentennial Committee’s donation of more than $5,000 to the town’s volunteer Emergency Squad, which was about to start a fundraising campaign to replace its outdated Automated Electronic Defibrillators (AED’s).

The Bicentennial Committee had raised the funds during the town-wide celebration last year. The Squad, which keeps seven AEDs distributed geographically among its members, would like to let the community know that we have now purchased and distributed the new AEDs. We’d also like to thank Pat French, Derinda Sherman and the other members of the Westport Bicentennial Committee for taking the initiative and reaching out to us with their timely support.

Their extraordinarily generous gift accounted for the lion’s share of the cost of these life-saving devices. It is our hope that we never need to use them. But having them located strategically throughout the community area means that if and when they are called for, we can put them into play without undue delay.

In a cardiac emergency, every moment counts, and the Bicentennial Committee’s gift will now help ensure prompt and effective care for their friends and neighbors in Westport.

RousesÊ PointÊ DodgeÊ MemorialÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê LibraryÊ thanksÊ goodÊ eggs To the editor: On Saturday, March 19, the Friends of the Rouses Point Dodge Memorial Library held their annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Rouses Point Civic Center.

This event would not have been possible without Library Director Susan Sullivan and volunteers Carolyn Reid, Regen Cushing, Everet Larson, Rose Pandozy, Kay Papin, Brad Martin and Kate Woodward.

Judy Napper, Westport Emergency Squad Captain

ActivistsÊ shouldÊ reconsiderÊ federalÊ banÊ onÊ oilÊ byÊ rail To the Editor: Advocates of crude oil transport by train should do research before they shoot the North Country in the foot� 1. Crude oil in itself is not explosive and trains are not using oil tanker cars from the Civil War period.

2. Oil transport by rail is more efficient than by truck and is as safe as air travel.

3. The oil train disaster in Quebec was caused by a runaway and on impact of that mass, anything will explode.

4. If we stop transport by rail, what will it do to the cost of heating oil and gasoline.

5. We pay the government $0.45 cents per gallon for gas and $0.63.4 cents per gallon on fuel oil. What are they doing for rail safety?

The Lake Champlain environment is endangered from an number of agents, sewage, leaching salt from roads, chemicals from plants, fertilizer or pesticides and yes, even pollution from gasoline outboard motors, like those used in the Bass Tournament listed as an asset to the region.

I suggest the activists reevaluate the rail transport ban and look to the elected officials, so quick to jump on the bandwagon. Their job is to protect and serve the community.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Rounds and echo songs Gordie Little

Columnist

R

ow, Row, Row your boat gently down the stream.” How long has it been since you sang that out loud? It’s called a “round.” It shouldn’t be confused with another one you might recall: “Bill Grogan’s Goat.” That one is an “echo” song.

There is a difference. Rounds are part of our fabric since early childhood. Another that comes to mind is “Are You Sleeping Brother John.” I learned most of my favorite rounds and echo songs at campfires--Boy Scouts, Sunday School picnics, family gatherings and other such events.

Some of you are already knitting your brows and asking somebody across the table if they remember “Bill Grogan’s Goat.”

Gosh, I hope I’m not the only one. “Bill Grogan’s goat, was feeling fine, Ate three red shirts from off the line. Bill took a stick, gave him a whack, and tied him to the railroad track.” I inserted the commas to indicate where the echo comes in.

I have no clue as to why I woke up this morning with the goat song rattling around in my meager mind. At breakfast, I began to intone it while Kaye’s response confirms my gathering senility.

“Have you never heard that?” Her answer was simply, “No. Why would you ask me that at 7 o’clock in the morning?”

I thought everybody knew the goat song. I guess I was wrong.

Of course, I was off and running; gathering dozens of pages of research on echo songs and specifically on this one. “Why do you waste so much ink?” she asks.

OCD is my excuse. I’m driven, pure and simple.

I traced the goat echo song far back into the 19th century with origins probably in England. I prefer to believe it was first sung in Ireland. There are myriad variations and endless verses. The name of the goat owner ranges from Grogan to Hogan; Tyram to Hatch; O’Grady to Rosenthal; Mike Riley to William Tell to Billy Hall and on and on. The fact remains that the goat was always feeling fine. The shirts were always red. The goat was always whacked or beaten and was always tied to the railroad track. He was in pain at seeing the oncoming train, and coughed up the shirts. That flagged the train and I guess he lived to eat more shirts around yet another camp fire.

Just be grateful that such choral conundrums don’t assail you in the middle of the night. If you led a sheltered childhood without stories and songs around the camp fire at Scout camp or your grandfather’s back yard, I’ll continue trying to tell you about mine.

Another of my favorite echo songs is “Down By the Bay.” Years ago, I wrote a true story about Bill Hogan’s ghost here in Morrisonville. I’ll wager he never even owned a goat, let alone three red shirts.

Champlain Wine Company wins numerous awards PLATTSBURGH — The Champlain Wine Company recently won gold and silver medals for two of their wines in the 2016 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition held in Rochester. Their Full Sail White, a blend of cold-hardy grapes from their vineyard in Mooers won the gold medal in the white, non-vinifera category, while their Cabernet Franc won a silver medal in its category. Both wines are produced at their winery in Mooers, and are available at their tasting room and retail outlet in Plattsburgh.

“We don’t often enter wine competitions,” said Natalie Peck, winemaker and vineyard manager. “In fact, this is only the second time we’ve entered our wines in any competition. So, I was very pleased when we did so well. This is actually the first production of the Full Sail White from our vineyard and I’m very happy with how this particular wine turned out. It is a blend of our Lacrescent, Prairie Star, and St. Pepin grapes which creates a fruity, slightly sweet and refreshing wine that is a good example of how we can make excellent wines from the coldhardy grapes in our region.”

The Finger Lakes International Wine Competition is an international competition with over 3,800 wine entries from more than 900 wineries in all 50 states and from 26 countries. Wines were evaluated by 73 of the world’s top judges from over 20 countries, representing the best Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, educators, enologists, winemakers, writers, retailers and industry consultants. Award winning wines are featured at several public events following the competition and at a Gala Dinner to benefit Camp Good Days and Special times, a non-profit organization that provides camping experiences and more for adults and children facing challenging times.

As a venue for public and private events, The Champlain Wine Company is owned by Natalie Peck and Colin Read and is the retail outlet and tasting room for their local farm winery in Mooers. The location also hosts a visitors’ center for the Plattsburgh Downtown Association, a community center for the region, and along with local wines, features local art, crafts, essential oils, maple syrup, and specialty oils and vinegar from the Adirondack Coast Oil & Vinegar Co. They are open seven days a week.

Village officials discuss proposed extension of rec path Idea presented to incorporate connector to create a half-mile loop behind the Rouses Point Civic Center

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

ROUSES POINT — In the future, residents might see a new adventurous addition while strolling along the recreation path behind the Rouses Point Civic Center.

Karen Derusha, supervising public health educator of the Clinton County Health Department, presented a proposed connector path to village officials last week.

“We want to increase the usage and beauty of the land you have now,” she said.

The connector path, approximately .2 miles in length and 5-feet wide, would connect the existing 5-foot wide path and turn it into a half-mile loop behind the recreation center.

Besides walking and biking, Derusha showcased a variety of amenities that could be added to the trail to make it more appealing toward residents.

Benches could be added to encourage the older residents to get out since they’ll have stops to rest if needed be.

Stepping stumps, tree risers, climbing rocks, balance logs and tunnels are a few ideas presented to entertain the young ones.

“Kids love to climb,” said Sara Allen, project coordinator.

The activities could also be used by adults, Derusha said, if they crave a little extra physical activity during their walks.

Derusha said the pockets of trail activities and enhancers would be up to the town whether to incorporate.

Jan Letourneau, recreation leader for the village, said if the additional trail is added, not only will it act as a connector, but an access point to the girls softball field, which is only accessible now by walking through tall and wet grass.

Village officials, while cautious of safety concerns, shared interest in moving forward with the project.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Trustee Tom Dart.

“Getting people outside is what we want to do,” Mayor Daniel Letourneau added.

Derusha said she’s unsure of how many people currently use the trail currently. The county official intends on putting in a trail counter to see how many people use the path before and after the asphalt connector is put in place.

The trail itself, Derusha said, would be funded through the Healthy Neighborhoods Fund Initiative grant from the New York State Health Foundation.

Derusha offered her time to help village officials find additional funding for the additional trail items, if necessary.

Rouses Point and the health department are waiting for quotes on the approximate cost on the project.

A timeframe, along with details about the installation pro-

cess, Derusha said, will be set up once more information is gathered.
