Gym owner speaks out about municipal water project New water system means hundreds in bills for the next 30 years in town of Champlain By Teah Dowling teah@denpubs.com
CHAMPLAIN — After nearly two decades in business, Global Fitness & Martial Arts Club may be shutting down for good because of high fees caused by the new municipal water project. Gym owner Joy Sarbou-Jubert now faces a bill of nearly $330 per quarter to belong to the new water system being built to serve the village and town of Champlain. She previously paid nothing for her water and believes the new fee could mean the demise of her long-standing enterprise.
CONFLICTING BILLS Initially, Sarbou-Jubert said the water fee assessed to the gym was 5 EDUs, which is short for estimated dwelling units — a unit of measure used to estimate the amount of water used by a residence or a business. That amount was based on a number of factors, including the type of business, number of employees and potential growth. But Sarbou-Jubert knew her establishment didn’t use that much water. “Each person in my gym would have to take three to four showers and flush the toilets at the same time to use that many EDUs,” she said. This left her a bill of $565 for the first quarter — which would equate to a total payment of $68,000 over the 30 years.
ConcertÊ series Several bands and performers to take the Samuel de Champlain Center Stage from beginning of July to end of August
Writer
ROUSES POINT — Break out the lawn chairs and clear your Thursday evenings because the summer concert series is coming back to town. Members of The Friends of the Stage have lined up several entertainers to perform on the Samuel de Champlain Center Stage this summer. The headliner: Elvis Presley Impersonator
John Monforto. For 30 years, the performer from New Jersey has wiggled his hips and curled his lips just like the king himself. “He’s quite the performer,” Friends of the Stage member Steve Merchant said. “He sounds just like him.” Snow White and Batman will also be making their debut during the kid’s night, also featuring Pipsqueak the Clown. Several acts will take the stage again, including the Just Us Band and country western musician Larry Ebere. Strawhatters, who perform regularly for the village, will take to the Samuel de Champlain Center Stage for the first time. >>See Concert Series | pg. 7

The gym owner paid the first bill but requested a water meter be installed to monitor her usage and lower her assessment. After three weeks of monitoring, the meter showed the gym used just 100 gallons of water a day — equating to less than 1 EDU. During its April meeting, the town board agreed to lower the gym’s water usage not to 1 EDU, but 2. “I was so mad that I was in tears,” Sarbou-Jubert said. “They’re overcharging me and I want to know how that’s legal.” Supervisor Larry Barcomb refused to answer why the gym was assessed for an extra EDU. However, Sarbou-Jubert was credited for the difference.

PLATTSBURGH — The temporary receivership over a group of cemetery properties in Plattsburgh and Ellenburg has been extended, delaying takeover by each respective town until mid-fall at the earliest. “We are now in the process of seeing that receivership extended until the latter part of September,” said Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman, citing the need to work out further details before the ailing Whispering Maples facilities are transferred to municipal ownership. The mausoleum and crematory have been under a stateappointed receivership since February 2015, when the state declared the facilities abandoned following reports of neglect by the former owners, a local nonprofit.

ReadyÊ forÊ theÊ ClintonÊ CountyÊ Fair?Ê
68th annual event jammed pack with new events, attractions By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
MORRISONVILLE — This year’s Clinton County Fair is jammed packed with new activities for people of all ages. From July 19 to 24, guests will be able to enjoy several new bands, events and shows. “I’m really happy with the entertainment this year,” said Glenn Gillespie, manager of the Clinton County Fair. “It’s going to be a fun week.” The biggest added feature: a second demolition derby. On Wednesday kids, ladies and old timer’s will be able to take part in the first-ever Demo Derbies. The regular demolition derby will take place Sunday as always. Need extra excitement?
Several new acts will take the stage this year, including the two headliners Nightrain (Guns N Roses Tribute Band) and bluegrass musician Ricky Skaggs. Throughout the day on Friday, guests can check in to try to watch the birth of a dairy cow. Three calves are set to be born. This event came about, Gillespie said, after the board witnessed its success in state fairs around the country. The only downfall, he said, is the uncertainty of what time they’ll be born. Hungry for more? Try out the fair’s first michigan eating contest or check out the traditional activities. RETURNING FAVORITES Master Hypnotist Michael Blaine and Pipsqueak’s Party Time Clown Show are a few of the returning acts. The Street Legal Truck Pull and Adirondack Tractor Pullers will be the two featured Grandstand Shows on Friday and Saturday. North Country’s Got Talent Show is back again and searching for new talent. The qualifying rounds will take place Tuesday and Wednesday to identify who will go on to the finale show on Saturday. The Clinton County Firefighters Association and the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control will be giving fire safety demonstrations. Every night, a band will be featured in the B&B Saloon. Bands taking the stage include Classic Country Band, Bootleg Band and Duel.

Several other bands and musicians will perform throughout the week, as well. Every day, guests can go on a coin hunt in the sawdust pile, go to the animal and/or art exhibits and visit vendor buildings. This year, there are 120 regular vendors and 25 food vendors. If that’s still not enough entertainment, Gillespie said there will be many carnival rides and booths. “We have so much entertainment for a little price,” Gillespie said. “If you want to have a good time, you should come to the Clinton County Fair.” The Clinton County Fair will take place at the Clinton County Fairgrounds (84 Fairground Road) in Morrisonville. Every day, except for Tuesday, the cost is $8. Children 12 and under are free. Season tickets cost $30. Tickets can be purchased at the fair office. Mega passes, which includes admission to the fair and free rides for one day, can be purchased at the fair office and at the Price Chopper in Champlain and Plattsburgh.

Village officials say ‘no’ to additional brush pickup Rouses Point to stick with twice a year offering in fall and spring By Teah Dowling teah@denpubs.com
ROUSES POINT — Village officials are done picking up brush at local homes this spring, despite pleas from disgruntled homeowners whose lawns remain stacked with bags filled with debris. Village residents have enjoyed two free pickups of lawn debris per year — one in the spring and the other in the fall — for years. But after this year’s spring pickup in May, bags continued to crop up at curb sides. After deliberation, the village board decided last week there would be no further brush
pickup and residents were on their own disposing of the brush. Mayor Daniel Letourneau said the brush pickup is a labor intensive process, involving employees collecting heaps of brush, feeding it through a chipper and spreading the chips behind the public works department. Public Works Supervisor Brian Pelkey said his department cannot work another pickup into their summer schedule. “We’re completely booked,” Pelkey said. During the meeting, village officials discussed other avenues that could be taken to keep the streets clean. Residents used to be able to bring brush to the site now used for leaves and grass clippings behind the public works department. The brush would be burned — a process
that was successful for a number of years. However a statewide burn ban implemented by the state Department of Environmental Conservation ended the practice. The DEC requires a permit for burning brush within the Catskill and Adirondack regions. Brush burning is prohibited within incorporated villages and cities throughout the state. “If we could burn the brush, we could do more pickups,” Letourneau said. “But we don’t have that luxury.” Another issue was residents bringing tires and garbage to the brush collection site, the mayor said. Officials considered a temporary brush disposal site and Pelkey offered to erect a block enclosure for two weeks, but village
trustee John Mott said that would not solve the long-term issue of using village labor to chip brush. “You can’t station someone up there to chip brush everyday. That’s just crazy,” Mott said. “There’s nothing we can do,” Mott added. “Let’s leave it the way it is.” The board agreed to not add an additional site or conduct another pickup until the scheduled one in the fall. Trustee Thomas Dart suggested advertising the brush pickup better next time by publishing it on electric bills, in multiple papers and on the sign outside of the Rouses Point Civic Center. No suggestions were made during the meeting as to what residents should do with their leftover brush.
Rouses Point village pier fishing ban lifted
Residents now able to cast their lines on Montgomery Street Pier By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
ROUSES POINT — A ban on public fishing at Montgomery Street Pier has been lifted. Village officials voted June
6 to allow angling on the pier after fisherman had been spotted there on numerous occasions. Mayor Daniel Letourneau said the “no fishing” rule was never truly enforced. After searching through village minutes, the board couldn’t find when or why fishing was banned. “It could’ve been a safety issue,” Letourneau said during the June 6 village board meeting. “Hooking
someone’s ear doesn’t sound like fun.” Furthermore, the board discovered that the village’s waterfront revitalization plan created in 2006 noted the pier and surrounding area should be used for relaxing by the waterfront and fishing. Because of this finding, Letourneau asked the trustees during the meeting whether fishing should be allowed.
“I’ve always said that residents should be able to fish there,” said Trustee John Mott. Trustees Thomas Dart and Benjamin Arno favored the idea as well. Trustee Avril Moore was not present at the meeting. “There’s not a lot of fishing spots,” Arno said. A majority of the rest of the waterfront is privately owned by residents or business owners, he noted.
Village Administrator Jean LaBombard recollected a few fishing spots designated for public use. However, they were all located outside the village limits in the town of Champlain. Village officials are currently discussing how to get rid of the “no fishing” engraving on the sign near the pier.

A time for unity
t’s Sunday afternoon and once again we are shocked at the senseless death of 49 people and another 53 seriously injured who were going about their lives in Orlando when a lone terrorist, who had pledged his allegiance to ISIS, opened fire. As more facts and details come to light there will be plenty of time for finger pointing and blame, but for now our thoughts and prayers need to be with those who lost their lives, those injured in the attack and their families. Like so many of these events whether it be homegrown terror, deranged individuals, or foreign countries who have declared war on our country these are times when we need to come together and not tear ourselves apart over political differences. We can’t be so divided that we over look our most common of interests, keeping the country and her citizens safe, especially here in our homeland. Our security personnel have an extremely difficult job, made even more difficult by the open society we all enjoy in this country, but all too often take for granted. Early indications are the gunman had been looked at twice in recent years by the FBI for terrorist threats, but lacked sufficient evidence to pursue any charges. Our fair judicial system restricts us from locking up folks who speak of hate toward others yet when the dust settles we will need to seek solutions that help the authorities deal with radical influences that drive individuals to take such heinous actions. There is an estimated 15,000 individuals in the country today that have communicated, in one way or another, with ISIS. In the coming days and weeks this event will be a hot topic in the presidential campaigns and I fear our political climate will disrespect those who lost their lives by using the event to drive an agenda instead of seeking solutions on a more united front. It’s clear that no country is immune from this form of warfare which seeks to kill the helpless non-combatants and terrorize the masses with brutal, unthinkable actions. Military might and powerful weapons are no match for sole gunmen who strike without notice and place no value on their own survival. Internal infighting and fear is their only goal and we must not allow them to gain this advantage by playing into their hands. The country and the world must be united to defeat this plague.

A sports season to remember T
his has been a season to remember for many athletes in the land of Section VII. Coming off the final weekend of the 2015-16 academic sports year, the section brought home its fourth state championship as the quartet of Nathan Handy, Matt Villa, Loudon Frechette and Daryn Nephew took the gold in the Division II NYSPHSAA track and field 4-by-100 relay for the Beekmantown Eagles. Along with their success, Seton Catholic’s prolific distance runner and future University of New Hampshire athlete Margaret Champagne claimed two medals at the championships. With track, the Ticonderoga Lady Sentinel varsity softball team reached the NYSPHSAA Final Four for the first time, falling to Notre Dame of Elmira amidst the rain drops and weather delays in Fort Edward. That’s not all. In the past season, as you will see in the story on our sports pages this week, Section VII has claimed four state championships, has placed three more teams in the championship game and has had five more teams reach the state round of play (semifinals). That is a total of 12 teams who competed admirably at the state level, a huge accomplishment for one of the smallest sections in the state. The credit, first and foremost, goes to the players. They have been able to train, work and sacrifice to get onto the state stage. It is something that is extremely rare and everyone should be proud of their accomplishments. Along with the players are the parents, who get to see their child’s excitement as they realize goals and made memories that will last a lifetime. These are the ones who drove them to and from little league and biddy games when they were young, rearranged work schedules and other tasks to provide rides to preseason practices and to be on the sidelines for their games from modified to junior varsity and then varsity. They travel when their children make the state level and are the first their with either a huge of congratulations of consolation. We also have the coaches who dedicate their time to teach the sport and do everything they can to help their teams and players excel. They do it regardless of accolades, and, too often, at scorn of parents who think Tommy didn’t get enough time or those who second guess them. In the end, what they do is
important in the lives of these children, with many life lessons being taught on the field and courts. Then, there are the fans. Several times, we have written about fans and some of the concerns we see on the sideline. This year, those concerns seem to temper, somewhat, to the point where we can say this was one of the better years for fan behavior we have seen in the league. Don’t get us wrong: There is still a long way to go, and a successful season often tempers the sometimes venomous contempt that can come from the stands, but any level of improvement is a step in the right direction. We hope everyone has involved the coverage of Section VII sports this season in the pages of The Sun. We also brought home a championship, of sorts, as the picture of the PHS boys soccer team after winning the Class B semifinal game taken by Jill Lobdell took home a third place award at the national FCPNY convention. With all the success there has been this season, we can’t wait to see what will happen as the calendar makes its way towards the fall sports season. There are already numerous story lines: Can the Chazy boys varsity soccer team reclaim their spot atop Class D, or are we seeing the start of a new dynasty in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Westport Griffins? Will control shift in the annual football rivalry games between Class B’s Beekmantown and Peru along with Class D’s Moriah and Ticonderoga. Can the Sentinels return to state glory? Speaking of Moriah, will they stay atop the Class D mountain without Adam Jaquish and Taylor Slattery, and can returning starters Dylan Trombley and Joe Stahl (who will look to repeat as Section VII golf champion in the spring) lead the Vikings back to the Civic Ce — oops, I mean — to Binghamton? These, and many more questions, will all be answered in 2016-17. We will be watching it all.

GoodspeedÊ wasÊ aÊ strongÊ advocate To the Editor: Recently the clients of the North Country Food Pantry of North Creek lost a strong advocate in the forced retirement of 25-plus year volunteer Evelyn Goodspeed. The reason the directors gave: Evie was negative and disruptive. Let me give you some examples of her negativity and disruptiveness. She objected to the following: 1. She questioned the excessive stockpiling of food that could be used by the clients instead of saving it for a calamity which has never happened. 2. The waste of case after case of perishable foods including the recent waste of three
A
3.
4.
cases of cheese left in the coolers until the “use by” date had expired. Most perishable foods have short expiration dates. The disrespect of some clients by some, but not all, of the volunteers. Some examples include saying that certain clients “stunk,” by calling certain Christian missionaries “beggars looking for a handout,” and screaming across the pantry at certain clients “you’re taking too much soup,” when in actuality they were picking up for two families. This last incident was reported to both regional and local boards of directors by the people affected. While I was a volunteer (four years) there were numerous occasions of full cases of canned goods disappearing. Were those reported to the board?
5.
Here is one last example although there are many more that could be mentioned. Several years ago, at Thanksgiving time, several clients asked for cranberry sauce. They were told “no,” that what was there was for the Christmas boxes. Evie checked in the storeroom and found 13 cases, more than enough for both holidays. She went over the director’s head and got the extra cases released for, as she would say, “Her People.” When asked if she wanted a retirement party, Evie said no, she didn’t want to be rewarded for doing what she thought was right. Now isn’t that just the epitome of negative and disruptive? Thanks Evie, for more than 25 years of caring for “Your People.” Don Goodspeed North Creek

All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or
a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the endorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate.

The lodge at Boreas Ponds: A historical perspective Kent Gregson> Stonemason from Indian Lake, NY kgregson@ymail.com
I
read your editorial “Lodge at Boreas Ponds Should Stay or be relocated to Serve as Visitor’s Center.” I am the stonemason who built the fireplace. Indeed this “gorgeous facility” would make a great visitors area for the Boreas Ponds. The “L” shaped building goes 75-feet in one direction and around 80-feet in the other. The large space is multi-functional and could serve in many ways. The lodge is seven miles or so from pavement on roads that were built and maintained for heavy truck use by Finch Pruyn, some of the best dirt roads in the Adirondacks. As you say, the lodge is handicap accessible but what about the able bodied visitor? This is a remote area with many recreational opportunities, some more dangerous than others, but none without risk. Emergency access for this area costs time, lots of it. There’s road access to the south and west, but the terrain gets vertical and rough. There are the trails to the high peaks which attract lots of hikers. Increasing public land and access in remote areas will result in more accidents, injuries and evacuation scenarios statistically. The lodge would be a good center of operations and communications in these situations. On the other hand, relocating the building is unfeasable. There are 20 tons of Corinthian Granite (from Champlain Valley Stone) in the fireplace. If someone did manage to replicate it, I suppose I’d be flattered, but at what expense? Far cheaper, easier and probably better looking would be to build new.
The logs are fastened together with foot long cabin spikes and have cured for many years. They’d never go back together as neatly and cleanly again. Better to build new. Relocation misses another point. This building site is magnificent by itself and the building is made for it. A wide flat promontory in spectacular country. The view from the porch is so awe inspiring that I made a bench in the back of the fireplace to see the view from the porch. While I was building, Finch Pruyn C.E.O. Dick Carota came by “whenever he was in the neighborhood,” could be several times a week. It was a favorite project. The crew who built it were Finch Pruyn employees from Newcomb. A good bunch of guys who took pride in their work. On the Santanoni Citizen’s Advisory Committee I saw how my preservationist friends want to remove any trace of man’s presence in the Adirondacks. I can see their point, and I may be wrong, but I don’t see it that way. I know that these concerned people see others coming to the mountains to recreate, litter, pollute and tear up the thin soils and fragile habitats. That’s the reason I call them all friends (besides the ones I know personally), I appreciate their efforts in these matters. I was born in Chestertown on a “tree farm” and raised on venison, rabbit and trout. I have a different perspective on wilderness. To me wilderness is synonymous with home. I don’t separate myself from nature. I feel a part of it. The buildings and facilities at Santanoni were also scheduled for demolition. The discussion was long, some of the buildings were lost, but now some of the buildings are being saved. So, it’s not impossible that this lodge on over 20,000 acres could be repurposed. Not that it will, but it’s possible. Kent Gregson is a stonemason from Indian Lake, NY who built the massive stone fireplace in the main lodge at Boreas Ponds.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SunÊ needsÊ toÊ getÊ aÊ life
Bradley Paye Willsboro
To the Editor: The Sun Editorial Board has exposed itself again with the language it chose regarding Donald Trump (ie: “by way of insults.”) Get a life! Trump did not send the 16 candidates packing due to insults, but by exposing their positions on the issues effecting the lives of hardworking Americans, immigration ridiculous and possibly criminal application of the federal government’s obligation on this issue and the 16 positions the various Republicans had taken: Sanctuary cities and the use of working Americans tax dollars to support them! Right to bear and own arms within the USA; Trade, America First, yes, Trump is right on target again! Work, not welfare, for ablebodied men and women. Need I review every one of his policies? I don’t think so! If you like using negative terms in your political editorials, try discussing the realization that Hillary should go to jail, not the White House. Try looking into possible acts of treason by the sitting president against the USA and how and when he should be investigated, tried and sentenced, and is the country strong enough to apply proper justice for treason? Vote Trump. Bert Windle Putnam Station
OregonÊ trainÊ derailmentÊ aÊ reminderÊ of Ê oilÊ tankerÊ risks To the Editor: The recent oil train derailment in Mosier, OR, should be an additional wake-up call for folks in the Champlain Valley who also host the movement of crude by rail through their communities. Some of the parallels with our area are especially striking - passage through small towns, the likelihood that an accident would overwhelm the capabilities of local emergency personnel and, of course, the proximity to a scenic wonder (our Lake Champlain, the Columbia River Gorge in the Oregon case). Mosier “dodged the bullet,” and was not obliterated by a fire storm like Lac-Mégantic, but this was a matter of sheer luck. If one thinks that such accidents can be prevented through improved preparedness, see the remarks from the Union Pacific spokesperson at youtube.com/ watch?v=DwreSO4UHIU#incart_maj-story-1. She calls attention to recent track inspections using the latest technologies, and to the fact that the tank cars were upgraded models meeting a higher “1232” safety standard. Still, the untoward occurred. The risks associated with the movement of crude by rail clearly warrant much higher priority from federal, state, and local authorities, all of whom have responsibilities in this matter. Richard P. Suttmeier Keene Valley
WhoÊ areÊ youÊ supposedÊ toÊ represent,Ê SenatorÊ Gillibrand? To the Editor: Oil trains have been a hot topic now for several years. I live on Willsboro Bay and hear and see them go by all the time. Why is this oil going by rail? Because there are not enough pipe lines to transport it, pretty simple, every gallon going through a pipe line is a gallon not going by rail. Now I can understand a senator from a state where the pipe line runs through voting against it, but my senator who should know the hazards that the trains pose to Lake Champlain and the Hudson River voted against it! Senator Gillibrand, I thought you represented us, not President Obama!
WildernessÊ preservationÊ needÊ notÊ equateÊ toÊ populationÊ extinction To the Editor The article in your June 11 issue, “Review board skeptical over study,” once again highlights a fundamental cleavage in the North County between the environment and the economy. Enormous amounts of money have been raised from wealthy donors to protect the wilderness, while, to the best of my knowledge, much, much less has been raised, let alone spent, to create economic opportunity for area residents. I am not a tree hugger, nor a tree mugger, but having been a summer resident here for over 35 years, I have watched the slow decline of opportunity and the aging of a year-round population. For the author of the study to suggest that rising property values are synonymous with economic advancement is simply untrue, and perhaps cruel for long-time residents who can no longer afford to live here. Wilderness preservation need not take place at the expense of population extinction. Jeff Moredock Essex
SpecialÊ OlympicÊ TorchÊ RunÊ successful To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to everyone who made the NYS Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics NY such a success this year. Last year, we suggested running through our town instead of traveling to another town in Essex County to show our support. This turned out to be successful, so we decided to make this our tradition. Nothing gives me more pleasure then to see smiles on beautiful faces. With that being said, there is no job too big or tasking for that result. The honor running next to two local athletes, Dakotah and Todd, not only brings this smile to my face but also my heart. You will never be able to buy the happiness that I saw on Wednesday, May 25, in the Town of Moriah and I am proud to be a part of this. Moriah Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility staff and Moriah Central School faculty raised over $1,200 to benefit Special Olympics NY. Thank you Superintendent Tynon and Captain Rawson for allowing Moriah Shock staff to participate, for supporting me in my decisions and contributing to the success of this event; Erin McCartan, Associate Director of Development, for including us once again; Superintendent B. Larrow from Moriah Central School for allowing your staff and more importantly your students to participate; Elizabeth Rutkowski from Mountain Lake Services, who welcomes us at the Helen F. McDonald center; Fleury’s Grocery and Deli for refreshments and Deputy Rice from the Essex County Sheriff ’s Department for keeping us safe while we were running. To all the staff at Moriah Shock, civilians and security, who made this year’s run a success. Not everyone who contributed was a runner and this does not go unnoticed. For those of you who came in on your day off, our mess hall staff who provided refreshments and snacks, our one woman camera crew, our drivers, I thank you with my entire heart! Saving the best for last, a BIG thank you to Becky Cutting for allowing your two young men to join us in a portion of our run. Every time we spoke, the anticipation for this day became more exciting. When it finally arrived I was more emotional than my face could show. It gives me great pleasure to represent Moriah Shock ICF in this capacity and to recognize two local athletes. I can’t express how grateful that I am for all the support that we received, smiles that were seen, cheers we heard and tears that were shed. Christina E. Slattery Office Assistant 2

I have no clue if they served fried bread dough, but I’ll wager there was clam chowder. I recall in the olden days it was magically prepared by the late “Jug Head” Devan and by my friend “Goose” Sorrel. Only a few can make it that delicious. On the other hand, fried bread dough is simple to make. However, it always tastes better a firemen’s field day, church bazaar, county fair or carnival. And it has never tasted better than when it is dripping with real North Country maple syrup. Like others of you (some will actually admit it), I spend too much time on my favorite social medium, usually before sunrise every day. It begins with my posting of the temperature and sky conditions outside our Morrisonville house on the Saranac River. Like reading this fine newspaper from cover to cover each week, it puts me in touch with the pulse of the community. It also gives me lots of ideas for this column. Case in point was a recent discussion of fried bread dough. The writer is obviously a person of good taste. They prefer their fried bread dough with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar. My mouth is watering. Question of the day was, “What did you call it growing up.” Some listed “dough gods or gobs;” Others remembered “fee fees;” others called them “knots or knoots.” Those of French Canadian extraction remembered variations on the theme. One that also sticks in my mind from north of the border is “beaver tails.” I have seen them referred to as “Johnny Joes” as well. I wish my childhood recollections could add to that list, but, in my house, it was simply “fried bread dough.” Kaye doesn’t remember her mother ever serving it back in the day, but she herself made lots of it for our family. Mostly, it started life as the prepared bread or pizza dough you can buy in almost any grocery store. I scoured the Internet and saw such localized names as “doughboys,” “fry bread,” “flying saucers,” “scones,” ‘elephant ears” and many others. I have eaten something different but similar called “beignets” in New Orleans. Other regions of this country and many other places have their own variations. Besides deepfrying the dough, many kinds of toppings are favored. I’ll stick with real maple syrup or powdered sugar. I have spoken with friends who will top their fried bread dough with nothing but honey. Whatever floats your boat. Pass the syrup, please.

EYE ON THE ARTS
Happiness-boosters The Dalai Lama, who was born this month in 1935, once said that “happiness is not something readymade.” More than there being some far off happily-ever-after, I have always believed that happiness is a daily journey. It is not something you eventually achieve, but a feeling you aim for every day. Let’s be honest: despite our blessings, it is sometimes difficult to be happy. As one of my old friends used to say, “there is nothing we underrate so much as the duty of happiness.” I think we could all agree that it’s worthwhile. One of the things that helps me on this daily journey is forward motion. Instead of just saying that I will go out and do something, I actually do it. And the days that I do attend that exhibit opening, or that film screening, or that concert – are usually the best ones. As always, there are quite a few happiness-boosters around the region to brighten up your week. Here are a few: On June 19, the 4th annual Glens Falls Pride Festival will return to Crandall Park.

Here is Dozer, an adoptable dog from Elmore SPCA... Dozer is a white and brindle American bulldog/boxer mix, June 8. He’s 3 years old and weighs almost 42 pounds. Dozer is a nice dog who is looking for a new home because his people fell on some hard times and moved to a place where they couldn’t have dogs. He is around three-years-old and knows how to sit, lay down and to give paw. He isn’t used to being leashed or contained as he was always off leash with his human. Subsequently, he pulls when he is walked and needs some help with his leash work. Dozer is full of energy and loves to play, run and to interact with his people. Dozer is also very smart...so much so that his person taught him to jump up into his human’s arms and then to give a big hug! Dozer loves to cuddle and he mellows out when he is inside, but he is used to lots of physical activity and leadership from his people. Dozer lived successfully with other dogs, kids and even cats. Although he has some flea dermititis from a flea in-

Former Clinton County Airport to be evaluated Study to determine infrastructure improvements for future growth By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — County and town officials have big dreams for the former Clinton County Airport. Future development is one of them. “We want to recruit new enterprises to that area,” Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman said. “We want more development.” In order to grow, an infrastructure evaluation is being conducted to see what services could be provided for potential buyers, such as water, gas, electricity and sewer. Through this study, hookups and lines will be identified. Pedestrian and bicycle access, along with different vehicular access points, is another item that will be looked into. According to the plan from the Friends of the Saranac River
Trail, the Saranac River Trail Greenway, a proposed 27-mile long trail from the city of Plattsburgh to the town of Saranac, could go through the former airport along the riverfront. Previous studies and build-out scenarios will be looked into as well. “We want to make sure we’re meeting the standards for optimal development,” Cashman said. “We need to anticipate what their needs will be.” This evaluation is a collaborative effort between The Development Corporation, town of Plattsburgh and Clinton County. “We thought participating in this would be extremely worthwhile,” County Administrator Mike Zurlo said. The former Clinton County Airport, located on Route 3 in the town, served as the airport site from 1967 to 2007 until the county opened the Plattsburgh International Airport on the flight line of the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base. Besides CV-TEC, the area is not developed. CV-TEC takes up 17.5 acres of the 600-acre parcel.
The property is broken up into different zoning designations such as riverfront conservation, technology and business. A small portion is designated residential use. The study began with a kick-off meeting a few weeks ago. For the rest of the summer, the parties will focus on inventory and analysis, along with exploring different options for the area. The town and the county are hopeful the draft study will be completed by September, followed by the final study in October. The total cost of the study is $50,000 and it will be paid for through a NYS Consolidated Funding Application grant through Empire State Development, along with the town, county and TDC. Cashman said the exact cost coming out of each participating party will be dependent on what can be discovered through previous studies. “We see that property as extremely developable,” County Legislator Rodney Brown said. “We can’t wait to see what will become of it.”

Adirondack Regional Theatre, which performed “Music Man” last year, will this year be performing “Shrek the Musical, Jr.” “We have a great line of performances this year,” Merchant said. “It should be a great summer.” The stage was built in 2009 thanks to funds from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Environmental Protection Agency and the community. Earlier this year, the organization purchased, received and placed an electric LED sign of the recreation center parking lot. The investment, Merchant said, has really helped to direct traffic to the area. Last week, the village approved adding a dressing room to the existing stage. “It’s a great asset to the village,” Mayor Daniel Letourneau said during a June 6 meeting. Merchant said he hopes that with this addition to the stage, it will help bring a wide variety of performers from all over. “We’re really trying to make this stage successful,” he said. “We’re very pleased so far.” The exact cost of the dressing room is unknown at this time. Merchant said members of The Friends of the Stage are looking into a contractor and grants to pay for the expansion. If possible, Merchant said he would like to add a bathroom

to the back of the stage as well so that visitors won’t have to journey all the way to the civic center for facilities. Bathroom or not, the dressing room is the last part of the stage expansion. “The stage is there to stay,” Merchant said. Performances will take place every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. from the first week in July to the last week in August. All performances are free and open to the public. Donations are welcomed..

Simon Conroy seeking Area 4 seat
Open legislature seat will see Democratic primary By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
PLATTSBURGH — The open Clinton Country Legislature seat left vacant by the departure of Colin Read to run for mayor will now be subject to a Democratic primary. Simon Conroy announced his candidacy for the Area 4 seat on Monday. “I want to serve as your county legislator,” Conroy said at a press conference. “I have the vision to lead and the energy to act and I am not afraid of new ideas.” Conroy said his experience operating an organic food coop and as an event organizer makes him a good fit for the position. “I work hard and I’m passionate about improving the area,” Conroy said. “I have been an active force in this community and have proven that I can get things done.” Conroy said if elected, he intends to fight for more good jobs, relieve the tax burden and keep young people in Clinton County. The race is to fill the final year of Read’s four-year term, which expires in 2017. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Conroy said decided to run in light of the 3-1 vote by the

STILL TOO HIGH Even at the lower fee level, Sarbou-Jubert still says she cannot afford the new tax, which still amounts to nearly $30,000 over the next 30 years. Sarbou-Jubert said she is afraid the new tax will be the demise of Global Fitness & Martial Arts Club. The gym has been open for 18 years. For 10 years, Sarbou-Jubert has taken money out of her retirement fund just to make ends meet. She doesn’t receive a paycheck. Sarbou-Jubert said if the gym can’t be selfsufficient, they will have to close by the end of summer. “We love being here,” she said. “We don’t want to close, but we might have to.” Before throwing in the towel, SarbouJubert intends on doing more investigating, hoping to find a solution to keep the gym up and running for years to come. Even if the gym closes, Sabou-Jubert, along with over 200 other property owners in the town, will still be responsible for water payments until the property is sold. In January, letters were mailed to property owners within the new district explaining the new billing system.

Clinton County Democratic Committee on June 9 that endorsed George Dyer. “I didn’t force a primary, I challenged it,” Conroy said. “I wanted to give the voters a chance to make a decision, not the party.” Dyer, a former state trooper, said Conroy’s entry will change little as he runs for the seat, his first attempt at elected office. “I’m a little disappointed that now I have to go through a primary election,” Dyer said. Dyer is the brother of Area 3 Legislator Sam Dyer, who’s supportive of his brother’s first run for office. “He’s a very good listener and he has the time to do this job,” Sam Dyer said. “I think he’s a good fit.” Sam said he intends on staying out of his brother’s race until he assistance is asked for. So far, he hasn’t. “If he does ask, I will help,” Sam Dyer said. “But George is going to win or lose this on his own merit.”
campaigns. Conroy said he’s already started fundraising. Sara Rowden, a Democrat who served as the Area 4 legislator from 2001 to 2013, was appointed earlier this month to serve as an interim legislator. Rowden has endorsed Conroy. “I think he would make a good county legislator,” she said. “He’s been very involved with the community and he cares about it. “It’s time to turn this over to younger eyes. Us baby boomers need to move on.”
TIMELINE OF EVENTS The petition circulation process started earlier this month and will continue until the July 14 deadline. Both candidates need 100 signatures to be on the primary ballot. Registered Democrats head to the polls on Sept. 13. The winner will face Republican candidate Devi Momot in this November’s general election. Chairman Martin Mannix called the primary “an expensive proposition” because both candidates will need to fund two
Water District, costs $13,420,000. The New York State Drinking Water State Revolving Fund gave the town a $2 million grant toward the project and approved a loan to cover the remainder. The 3-year loan at zero interest covers the design and construction phases of the project. Upon completion, the loan will be rolled over into 30 years. The first principal payment is due Jan. 8, 2017. To generate adequate funds, the town began sending out bills every quarter to all properties within the water district despite whether or not they decide to hook up to the water system. “We have to make up the money somehow,” Barcomb said. Similar to the gym, each property in the district was assessed at different EDUs. One household, for example, is assessed at 1 EDU, not dependent on the size or number of persons within the home. Apartment complexes are assessed at 1 EDU per living quarter. So, a building with two apartments would be assessed for 2 EDUs. Several businesses approached the town after being billed requesting a reduction in EDUs. AN Deringer Inc, a company that provides shipping logistics and U.S. customs compliance consulting, was originally assessed at 17 EDUs. The estimate originally included showers. After Branch Manager Scott Yelle explained how the workers do not shower,
the property was re-assessed to 6 EDUs. Other re-assessed properties included Choice Cherry Property Inc, McCormicks Inc and Ridge Runners Shooting Club. So far, Barcomb said most town property owners have paid their quarterly bills. None of the town board members live within the district. VILLAGE ASSESSED DIFFERENTLY Village residents, on the other hand, don’t pay for the new systems based on EDUs. Instead, the village water rates are based on gallons used. Rates, said Mayor Greg Martin, were raised from $2.98 to $4.56 per thousand gallons used to cover the cost of the loan and new system. Martin said he’s received zero complaints from village residents since the water quality will be heightened on several levels. ‘LITTLE BENEFITS’ The new system will reduce 75 percent of the hardness and improve water pressure within households. About 60 fire hydrants will be added within the municipalities and all water meters will be replaced and updated with a new radio frequency feature to read them faster. The village, which supplies both municipalities with water from three wells next to the Great Chazy River, currently produces 110,000 gallons of water a day.
The new system, Martin said, will almost double that number. “There are a lot of little benefits,” he said. “But they add up.” MOVING FORWARD Barcomb said planning for the long-awaited project began about eight years ago. “The project is moving very rapidly now,” Martin said. Two water towers were recently constructed on West Service Road and Prospect Street for $2.5 million. Roughly eight miles of pipe will be placed six feet deep along Route 11, West Service Road, New Ridge Road and a few side roads. Some of those pipes have already been placed, mostly within the village. Last week, the municipalities issued permits to start laying pipes on several more roads within the town. “This is going to be a very disruptive summer for residents,” Martin said. “There will be a lot of traffic changes and construction.” Both municipalities are looking toward a 2017 completion date. “This is a big step forward for both of us,” Barcomb said. “This will not only help the residents and business owners of today, but ones in the future to further promote economic development.” To learn more about the plan or get updates, visit townofchamplain.com.

been extended to Sept. 30. Both mausoleums have incurred significant damage since their construction in the early 1980s. The facility in Ellenburg needs a new roof, while the structure in Plattsburgh requires wall repairs. The deterioration of both has generated public outrage. Connie Goedert, the state-appointed receiver, said a structural engineering report has been completed and the project is scheduled to go out to bid. Once those contracts are awarded, ownership of the buildings will be transferred to the towns, she said. Goedert declined to discuss exact costs, citing a lack of authorization to do so by the state. A report last year pegged repairs at the Ellenburg facility at $99,619.26, and Plattsburgh, $46,849.58. State officials have already secured
www.suncommunitynews.com
$300,000 from the state’s executive budget for the first round of repairs. Additional funds may be made available through the department of state, but the application process is expected to take at least a year, said officials at a public meeting in April. According to state law, abandoned cemeteries fall under the jurisdiction of municipalities. But officials from both Ellenburg and Plattsburgh have expressed a reluctance to take over the properties, calling the handover an unfunded mandate that places the municipalities firmly in uncharted waters, especially under the state-mandated tax cap. Cashman said the state Division of Cemeteries had been “deficient” in ensuring the proper upkeep of the facilities. “Both towns are advocating we take a slow, but steady, approach to this,” Cashman said. The meeting in April drew more than 150 family members whose loved ones are among the 600 interred in the mausoleums. Cashman said he continues to field phone calls from people seeking general info. The conversations have generally been positive,
he said. “We have received an immense amount of support from community members and constituents,” he said. Crypts at the free-standing mausoleums ranged in price from $5,930 to $12,030. By the time the state ordered the removal of the board of directors, 78 percent of the spaces in Plattsburgh had been sold; 66 percent in Ellenburg. Proceeds from the sale of each crypt and niche space were supposed to go to a permanent maintenance fund. But a state report revealed not only was that fund insolvent, but the nonprofit also failed to repay loans they were permitted to withdraw from the fund in 1992. Total liabilities clocked in at $330,800 as of June 2015. Goedert said she has not been in contact with the former owners. “I’ve had no contact with them and I would expect that I would not,” Goedert said. The Clinton County District Attorney’s office declined to return emails asking if they had opened an investigation into possible

wrongdoing by the nonprofit. The state Inspector General’s office also declined to respond to an email. Reached by telephone at home, former Whispering Maples board president Brenda Drown declined to comment. “No, I really don’t,” Drown said. “It’s just very involved. No, I’d rather not.” STAY UPDATED: Prior to renovation work, family members will be required to temporarily remove personal items from the crypts.

SectionÊ VII:Ê whereÊ theÊ championsÊ playÊ inÊ 2015-16 By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — This may, indeed, be the greatest school year in the history of Section VII high school athletics. The teams who represented the section in regional and state playoffs this season didn’t just show up, but knocked the door down, winning four state championships while another three reached their championship game. In all, 11 teams from Section VII reached at least the final four, including the most recent in the Ticonderoga Sentinel varsity softball squad, who made history as the first girls program in school history to make the state round of play. “This is the first girls team we have ever had to reach this milestone of play,” Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said. “We are really proud of them and I know how hard they have worked for this.” “It’s a good place to be with teams competing late into the season,” Ticonderoga Athletic Director and varsity football assistant coach Robert Sutphen said. “Our kids are getting it done in the classroom and on the athletic field.” The Sentinels also sent their football team to the Class D championship game, where they lost to Tioga in the closest game a Class D team had ever played in the Carrier Dome. Sutphen said when your teams compete this far into the season, there is another team behind the scene helping out. “Mike Vigliotti is our MVP, especially in the spring,” Sutphen said of his transportation manager. “Watching this play out is the fun part, but you have to have those who help with the transportation and the paperwork.” The situation has been similar in Lake Placid, where the athletic program has brought home a pair of state championships (Class D cross country, state nordic skiing) along with competing in the boys hockey final four.

Our coaching staff too is well seasoned and we don’t have much turnover. Our studentathletes are training hard in their sports and also in the classroom. Many of these successful teams are also NYSPHSAA scholar athlete teams. It’s not a coincidence that these two accomplishments go hand in hand.” McDonald agreed. “Studies continue to show that kids who are involved in extra-curriculars are more successful in the classroom,” he said. The state championship run continued into the spring, as the Beekmantown boy’s 4-by-100 track quartet of Nathan Handy, Matt Villa, Loudon Frechette and Daryn Nephew took home the Division II title. The nice thing is watching our kids compete and excel on the state level,” Beekmantown A.D. Greg Myers said. “The kids have all worked hard and it is nice to see them get the recognition they deserve. Our goal is to always compete at the state level and we are able to hang a lot of banners because of it. No one is more proud of these boys than the administration of our district.” The success of Section VII has also been noticed on the Members of the Plattsburgh High boys soccer team point to the final score in the Class B championship game. state stage according to Willsboro Superintendent Stephen Photo by Jill Lobdell Broadwell, who is currently in his second and final season as

SYRACUSE — Nathan Handy had watched since the gun went off to start the NYSPHSAA Division II boys 4-by-100 relay race. He had seen Loudon Frechette open up a lead in the first leg, passing the baton flawlessly to Matt Villa, who kept the lead with another perfect handoff to Daryn Nephew, holding the lead as he rounded turns three and four, where Handy was waiting. “I got to see all the handoffs and I knew they had both been unbelievable,” Handy said, who ran the anchor leg for the Beekmantown relay team. “I see Daryn coming around the corner and I am thinking, we have a chance to win it. I took the baton from him and took off — everything was perfect.” Perfect was exactly what the foursome had been building for all season, as Handy crossed the line in a time of 43.38 seconds, winning the Division II state championship in the event by five one-hundreths of a second over Bennett. “Before the race, Loudon had told me if it Coaches Gary Phillips and Andy Hastings bookend Division II state champions in the 4-by-100 meter relay, from left, Daryn Nephew, Loudon Frechette, Nathan Handy and Matt Villa. comes down to it, you better dive,” Handy said.
