Crossing over hurdles with BRIDGE NY Village of Champlain, Saranac take crack at competitive funding program By Teah Dowling

CHAMPLAIN — Last month, the village foraged together a group of volunteers to finally paint what was frequently referred to as an eyesore, the Elm Street Bridge. Turns out the structure connecting Elm Street to Route 9 requires professionals. Clinton County stopped the residential project since the chipping green paint contains high amounts of lead, which could cause contamination of the Great Chazy River and

health concerns for the residents exposed. In order to sand, the bridge needs to be encapsulated — a process that costs over $300,000. Mayor Greg Martin said the village doesn’t have those funds readily available, but there is still hope with BRIDGE NY, a new grant program rolled out by the governor’s office last month. “The bridge is ugly and it’s getting worse and worse,” he said. “It needs help and I think we qualify to receive it.” Last month, Gov. Andrew Cuomo allocated $200 million to the multi-year competition established to rehabilitate and replace bridges and culverts statewide.

Brewfest PLATTSBURGH — North Country beer lovers will have a lot to love this weekend. Forty vendors will gather at the Plattsburgh City Beach on Saturday for the Plattsburgh Brewfest, the second installTeah ment of the festival designed to showcase Dowling the region’s brewers, wine and cider proWriter ducers. Organizer Tom Frey, owner of Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House and ADK Hard Cider, says the festival is critical to increasing the profile of a growing industry. “The craft beverage industry is booming in the North Country,” Frey said. “We want it to stay that way.” This boom can be attributed, in part, to a series of state reforms, including a relaxation of outdated blue laws, incentives for producers to use local ingredients and new farmbased manufacturing licenses that have allowed a new industry to take root and flourish. Since 2010, the number of farm wineries in New York has increased by nearly 60 percent, according to the governor’s office.
The green paint is chipping off of the Elm Street Bridge and needs to be fixed. However, it requires professional help since the paint contains high amounts of lead and needs to be encapsulated in order to removed.

County officials making headway on end to Oxbow Bridge By Teah Dowling
teah@suncommunitynews.com
SCHUYLER FALLS — A Clinton County legislator is “99 percent sure” that Oxbow Bridge is coming down. Pete Keenan (Area 5) said he received word from a source, which he declined to name, that the state is leaning toward tearing down the 180-foot long structure on Kent Falls Road in Cadyville. “There’s been too many drownings,” he said at last week’s Schuyler Falls town board meeting. “We’re very likely to get approval to have it removed.” The issue was brought up last month when the Cadyville Fire Department made a request to the county and the towns of Schuyler Falls and Plattsburgh to tear down the site of numerous fatalities in recent years. Clinton County had already been working on it. Although Clinton County owns the structure, and the towns of Plattsburgh and Schulyer Falls are responsible for opposite ends of the road leading up to the bridge, tearing it down requires state approval. County Highway Superintendent Al Rascoe said several
meetings with the Department of State have taken place in regards to this issue. Meetings are still ongoing, said Rascoe. The decision should be made by the end of this year. Even if the DOT approves, the county needs to overcome two other hurdles: cost and the State Historic Preservation Office. HALF-MILLION INVESTMENT Rascoe pegged removal costs at $500,000, based on previous bridge replacements. In previous projects, the county received funding from the Federal Highway Administration that covered 80 percent. The state chipped in 15 percent, leaving the taxpayers to pay 5 percent. Additional funding, Rascoe said, is not a guarantee. In the rare circumstance the county receives no funding, the taxpayers would have to curb the entire amount, he said. HISTORICAL LANDMARK Originally constructed in 1898, the bridge was placed on a statewide historic registry in 1999. Because of this, the structure is considered to be a historical landmark. Rascoe said the state historic office needs to sign off on it in order to have it removed. “Not to sound negative,” he said, “but it will be very difficult to get that type of approval.”
OFFICIAL OPINIONS Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Michael Cashman said he’s pleased the county is looking into the issue. “The bridge jumpers, both young and old, believe they’re taking a measured approach to breaking the limits,” he said. “But it’s still irresponsible and dangerous.” Schuyler Falls Supervisor Rick Potiker believes tearing down the structure wouldn’t solve anything, referring to nearby cliffs on both sides of the river, which could also act as jumping points. “If it saves at least one life,” he said, “I’m for it.”

Bishop blesses St. Elizabeth’s mural Bishop Terry LaValley presides over Mass to dedicate Cantin Family Memorial at St. Elizabeth’s Church By Pete DeMola
pete@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — Sometimes God works in mysterious ways, said the St. Elizabeth’s congregation members who recently oversaw the installation of a new mural at the Elizabethtown parish. George Cantin converted to Catholicism as a boy in the 1940s. His decision came, in part, from the beatific mural painted over the altar at St. Elizabeth’s. Over time, it faded away, and was eventually painted over sometime in the 1970s. Cantin is a man of deep faith — he serves as the music director at the Church of St. John the Baptist in Plattsburgh — and also a man with deep reverence for his family, including the departed Abigail, George Washington, Sadie and George. And so the idea of resurrecting the mural was born. A friend encouraged Cantin to reach out to Bruce Mitchell, a local artist known for his Adirondack landscape paintings. Cantin did. “You know, I don’t paint figures too well,” Cantin recalled Mitchell as saying. Mitchell showed Cantin a landscape, a sunny stretch between Westport and Essex populated by birch trees. Cantin loved it. Mitchell went to work expanding the concept for the proposed mural, incorporating the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, or the concept of God being represented in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The original idea was to put the 9-by-8 foot canvas, deemed “The Trinity In Nature,” in place of the original painting. Despite careful planning, it didn’t fit, nor could the golden dove hanging over the altar be repositioned. Difficulties also rose with lighting. “The Holy Spirit didn’t want it up there,” Cantin recalled at the dedication Mass. “It didn’t go, and we couldn’t put it up there.” A wall in the back beckoned.

The painting fit perfectly. “It wasn’t my plan, it wasn’t Bruce’s plan. Whose plan was it? It had to be the Holy Spirit… the Holy Spirit wanted it back there, and there it is,” Cantin said. The congregation, who packed the pews at the tiny Tudorstyle church on a broiling mid-summer evening, murmured. Diocese of Ogdensburg Bishop Terry LaValley presided over the liturgy. In his homily, LaValley shared an anecdote that he said related to the themes portrayed in the painting — relationships and connectedness, between people, but also nature. LaValley was engaged in a lunchtime jog — “It’s the penance for all the ice cream I eat!” — when he encountered a garden hose snaking from a second-floor window, down to the porch and onto the street. “You’ll never guess what happened,” said the woman holding the hose. “The waterbed on the second floor sprung a leak and it’s almost up to my knees.” LaValley kept running. The thought didn’t strike him for another few blocks: You didn’t even ask if you could help her. The bishop wasn’t sure if he should attribute his oversight to the lack of oxygen in his brain, or compassion in his heart. “It never struck me to ask her,” he said. “As the chief shepherd of the Diocese of Ogdensburg, I didn’t do so hot.” The room laughed. We’re all victims of that neglect sometimes, he said. But it’s during those moments, often chalked up as distractions or interruptions, that we meet “another face of Christ.” It’s important to not let these great moments escape us, he said, a concept that also applies to the appreciation and respect for nature. “Too often the way we treat the environment is the way we treat one another,” LaValley said, quoting Pope Francis. LaValley asked the congregation to reflect on John of the Cross, the 16th century Spanish mystic who was able to write beautifully on nature despite being locked up in a tiny cell, and later tortured, for his reform work. Through this, he came to know God. Following his homily, LaValley led the procession to the painting, which he blessed with a prayer and a sprinkling of holy water from a flail. And then it was illuminated in light.

Optimism is our fuel
ow that we’ve put the two political party conventions behind us, we’ll get set for the onslaught of political bashing that comes with every election cycle. Our nation’s polarization was most apparent during the primary season and pretty much straight through the conventions, as both sides did their best to put a positive spin on the past and future vision for the country. Unfortunately, the American electorate would appear to be less connected to either candidate, as both bring a certain level of uncertainty with them…... And that may be exactly what the nation needs. Elections tend to be about optimistic alternatives. While we live in the present our hopes and dreams are fueled by an optimistic future. Optimism, like sunlight, creates growth. It’s this very sense of American optimism that attracts so many to our shores. It’s the one intangible asset that we as Americans sometimes take for granted. Our past is full of failures but out of most of those failures, history confirms, through our perseverance we’ve grown from the experience and found a constructive way to use the failure to right the ship. The bottom line to optimism is the opportunity that each citizen must recognize that it’s within their reach to be and accomplish anything they choose. So with an eye on the only two viable choices available for leading our nation and most likely shaping the Supreme Court into the future, we now have less than 100 days to do our homework, look past the party spin, and find a way to discover the truth behind each candidate and their vision. If optimism is to flourish in our future we must invest more in this election than perhaps any election in recent history. Since the choices are less than perfect, in the opinion of many of our countryman, we can’t afford to stay home nor let others dictate our future. Our forefathers understood what they were fighting for and we must never allow that fiery, independent spirit to be extinguished. As we’ve benefited from the generations that came before us, we too must honor the commitment to liberty that we owe to those who come long after us. Our lineage is their inheritance and the union we secure in the upcoming election may preserve the promise and the optimism they are depending on us to provide for generations to come.

Go to the Essex County Fair - you’ll thank us for it The 168th Essex County Fair rolls into Westport on Aug. 10
Y
ou should go. Here’s why: Economic boost. While no longer the premier social event of yore, a carnival pitching stakes in the center of town is a big deal for this rural community, especially local merchants. The four-day event is an economic multiplier, from folks stopping at restaurants for chow to checking out that boutique you’ve always driven by, but never made time for. Much has been said about keeping your dollars in the community by buying local. Attending the fair is one way to prove it. Teaching kids values. 4-H continues to play a huge, if underappreciated, role in youth development within the region, infusing kids with skills like independence, critical thinking, leadership and good old-fashioned practical knowledge… like how to identify poison plants and invasive species, for instance, or how to raise a prize-winning pig. Support these lil’ genius in their quest to “make the best better” by taking a cruise through Floral Hall. And hey, you might even learn something. It’s a bargain. The tranquil scenery is why most of us stick around the Adirondacks. But it also makes even the most pedestrian tasks outsized efforts that eat up half of the day — and our wallets. Take dinner and a movie, for instance. After you gas up your car, drive to Plattsburgh and buy your kids snacks and tickets, you’ve got $100 bill invested. For most of us, that’s just not affordable. A trip to the fair will cost you half of that, and with the $12 admission that includes rides, it’s a tough bargain to ignore. Community spirit. Call us old-fashioned, but we like the trappings of an old-timey county fair where civic pillars and politicians mingle cheek-by-jowl with us regular folk. Together, we watch cars crash into each other at the demolition derby, scarf down one those classic Bacon Burgers, or just stroll the grounds on a mid-summer’s day. In an era when the local population is becoming more stratified, this egalitarian festival helps us remember that we’re not so much different, after all. And, as one elected official recently said to us, “It’s the fair — everyone goes to the fair.” We like that sentiment. Entertainment value. County fairs are a feast for the eyes. While the days of three-ring circus sideshows seem to be waning, the novelty of dagger-throwing cowboys, acrobats, hypnotists and other roaming entertainers are all still real… and a treasured part of this country’s collective fabric. In a time when
so many of us are glued to our smartphones and other devices, this organic attack on the senses is a real treat that not only offers a sharp departure from our usual amusements, but one that tethers us to our country’s rich history, as well. But above all these soaring sentiments, what the Essex County Fair really comes down to is that dozens of people invested a significant amount of time, money and manpower to organize, promote and operate a long-running tradition that ultimately amounts to a community service. In this area in which everyone feels as if they’re entitled to something, these selfless ideals seems like values that are quickly becoming lost. They believe in the fair, and we believe in it. We support them, and we think you should, too. The Essex County Fair runs from Aug. 10 to 14 at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport.

ThanksÊ toÊ everyoneÊ whoÊ savedÊ Tristen To the Editor: It was the last day of school and a short bicycle ride nearly turned into our worst nightmare! Our granddaughter, Tristen Benway, was riding her bicycle down a hill on School St. in the Town of Essex and after cresting the hill, things went terribly wrong. Descending down the hill, Tristen lost control and flipped her bike. She received a severe puncture-like wound to her abdomen that missed all vital organs. The additional injuries were two fractured wrists, road rash to the right leg, and a head injury. We want all parents to know had she not been wearing her helmet, this would have been a “very tragic” accident. A special thanks goes out to: Willsboro – Essex EMS (Craig Jackson, Shai Walker, Frank Wells, James Provost) for the initial treatment and transport - your town is very fortunate.

NaziÊ propagandistÊ GoebbelsÊ wouldÊ haveÊ beenÊ proudÊ of Ê Trump To the Editor: Joseph Goebbels was appointed Reich Minister of Propaganda on March 13, 1933. Goebbels proved to be an expert in his mastery of the dark art of propaganda. Goebbels had no formal training in any aspect of propaganda. However, he did seem to fulfill what Adolf Hitler wrote in “Mein Kampf ” with regards to the truth: if you are going to tell a lie, tell a big one and if you tell if often enough, people will begin to believe it. Josef Goebbels would have been proud of Donald Trump. Joe DeMarco Jay
DissolveÊ theÊ VillageÊ of Ê PortÊ Henry! To the Editor: Are the people of the Village of Port Henry that naive to think that they can survive without the help of the Town of Moriah? I pay approximately $900 in property taxes in addition to water and sewer. Tell me how I would not be saving by doing away with village taxes and one level of government. It’s just common sense. Where does grant money come from? Taxpayers are correct. It is great that people want to open up businesses, but it should not be on my dime. Once again, people will complain that they are struggling now. You have no one to blame if you vote to keep the Village. In other towns where the villages have dissolved, there have been tax savings. Vote yes to dissolve one less tax, and for one stronger town. Steven J. Mitchell Port Henry

RefrainÊ fromÊ thriftÊ donationsÊ thatÊ haveÊ Ô outlivedÊ theirÊ usefulnessÕ To the Editor: The First United Methodist Church Thrift Shop has served the community for many years. It offers clothing and household items at very reasonable prices. It could not exist without the wonderful donations from the community. It is staffed by volunteers who sort these items on Monday and Thursday mornings, and who work when the shop is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We have an outside donation box to receive clothing and small items after hours. Many times, items are left outside the donation box and are then subject to the weather. While most items are sale-able, we unfortunately receive many items that have outlived their usefulness, and no one would want. It is then up to the volunteers to dispose of these items. We are asking the community to please contact us when they have donations that don’t fit in, or shouldn’t be left outside the box, or have multiple items that would overwhelm our volunteers. We will then arrange a time to receive your donations. You can contact the thrift shop at 585-2242, or the church office at 585-7995. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support. Pastor Scott Tyler Ticonderoga

CelebratingÊ Ô kickingÊ cancerÊ outÊ of Ê ourÊ livesÕ To the Editor: Five years ago, I was honored when asked to become part of the Relay For Life of Crown Point. I took the role as the coordinator of the Survivor’s Tent. I’d like to share a part of why I became passionately involved in this event and what we do to honor our survivors and caregivers. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of my mother’s and aunt’s cancer journey. I learned and saw what true warriors looked like. I saw their pain, their fear and their determination to live. They never wanted pity, just prayers and support through their journey. It made me want to help others. I wanted to listen to stories that needed to be heard. I wanted to give support and comfort to those who could use it. I wanted to find a way to help cancer survivors celebrate kicking cancer out of their lives. The Relay for Life helps me achieve these goals. The start of our relay begins by the survivors lining up and walking the first lap, then their caregivers join them for the second lap, proceeded by our relay teams. Survivors are given a medallion and a t-shirt. We have appetizers, cake, cookies, and drinks to enjoy. There are donated gift baskets that are raffled off to our survivors and the caregivers. It is an incredible day! If you are a survivor or caregiver and would like to participate in the Relay for Life of Crown Point, please sign up on our website relayforlife. org/crownpointny. The relay will be held on Aug. 20 from noon to midnight at the Crown Point Veterans Memorial Park. To the survivors and caregivers that have participated in the past, thank

CanadaÊ tripÊ aÊ success To the Editor: Ms. Kari Trudeau and Ms. Virginia Morse led a group of local teens and adults on an 8-day trip of Canada to begin their summers this year. The trip had formerly been the France trip but, due to various reasons, the trip was transferred to Canada. The 8-day tour through Explorica by Keating was private, highly customized, and activity packed. The trip was a wonderful introduction to Canadian culture and history. Before the trip, the teens commented that they did not think that Canada would be so different from the states, but discovered that Canada is its own unique country. Most of the group would like to go back to Canada to experience more of the country. The group spent time in Québec City, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Niagara Falls, noticing the differences between the Québécois and Ontario cultures. The group appreciated the European feel of both Québec City and Montréal. They quickly became aware that French is spoken in Québec and is prevalent in Ontario. The more modern parts of the cities still had a certain bygone era charm allowing the group to go back in time. The tour in Québec City included talks and activities about the history, linking that of Québec City to that of Ticonderoga, a ghost walk, visiting Notre-Dame-de-Québec and going through the only Holy Door outside of Europe. The group travelled north to a woodworking artisan, the île d’Orléans, and the Montmorency Falls. In Old Montréal, the group explored the first settlement of Montréal at Pointe-à-Callière, an archeology museum. They also explored Montréal and spent time in the underground city. The group completed a Mission to Mars at the Cosmodome, ascended the Olympic Tower, and visited St. Joseph’s Oratory for a lovely sunset over the city after a fun-filled dinner with pirates. The group had the opportunity to witness Canadians’ fierce pride in their country while taking part in Canada’s Independence Day in the capitol of Ontario. After a picturesque 2-hour bicycle ride around the Rideau Canal, the group travelled to Toronto where they commented on the modernity of a city with so many skyscrapers. The group ascended the CN Tower, 1,300 feet in height, to look down upon Toronto. The last day of the tour was spent in Niagara Falls, cruising into the falls and walking above them, as well as checking out the Las Vegas-like strip.

House Legislation Author: Proposed bill would refuel the economy Michael James Barton Columnist
T
he U.S. economy created a paltry 38,000 jobs in May -- a mere quarter the number economists predicted. Fortunately, the House of Representatives just approved a legislative amendment that could pick up the slack. The provision, attached to a comprehensive energy bill, streamlines the regulatory approval channels for new natural gas pipelines and export terminals. While America is in the midst of a historic gas production boon, the infrastructure required to transport and sell that energy hasn’t kept pace. The House’s common sense provision would help close that gap. Energy producers could finally build necessary infrastructure. The economic benefits would be profound. Thanks to new technologies like hydraulic fracturing, U.S. energy developers have tapped into previously unreachable gas reserves. Domestic production has jumped 50 percent over the last decade and is on pace to grow another 50 percent in the coming decades. This rapid expansion has already worked wonders for an economy mired in near zero growth for eight years. Natural gas production increases have created high-quality jobs, fueled billions in growth, and provided businesses with cheap energy. There’s now so much gas, in fact, that domestic supply outstrips domestic demand. Americans will only consume about a quarter of the gas produced over the near future. Foreign markets are eager to buy the excess. And new foreign sales would generate new jobs right here at home. But there’s not enough infrastructure to enable this exchange because of regulatory uncertainty. Regulatory delays have slowed pipeline construction. The total miles of domestic gas pipelines actually fell two percent between 2009 and 2015. This spring, the Texas firm Kinder Morgan surrendered to the regulatory bureaucracy and shuttered a $3 billion pipeline project in New England. The much-hyped “Constitution” pipeline connecting Pennsylvania gas production sites to New York consumers has been similarly smothered to death in government approval channels. Worse still, when the gas does eventually get to the coasts, there aren’t enough terminals to actually sell it abroad. The House’s energy amendment attacks these problems. It requires the Department of Energy to expedite the permitting process for new pipelines and to speed up its evaluations of new terminal applications. In other words, do their job and justify their decisions. These reforms would transform the economy. Passing the House’s natural gas amendment into law is a clear win-win. Lawmakers should ensure it’s in a bill that lands on the President’s desk. Michael James Barton is the Founder of Hyatt Solutions and speaks around the country on energy and energy security matters.

EYE ON THE ARTS
A Tree Without Roots
J
amaican leader Marcus Garvey once said that “a people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” There are plenty of books, movies and songs about this very issue. Most can agree that it’s important to know — and to remember — where one has come from. We’re lucky in the North Country: there are a wealth of dedicated historical societies and history museums to preserve area history on our behalf. It is in part because of their efforts that we have the ability to simply step inside a building or make a call and achieve a greater understanding of our history and evolution as a community. It’s with the knowledge of our past that we can effectively move forward. As always, I have a few tips on things to do around the region. This week, I also have a few suggestions on ways to learn more about the area in which we live. Despite what one may think, the history of the North Country is a rich one, and the roots run deep. The Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh will host the world premiere of “Heart’s Delight: The Story of William H. Miner” on Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. The documentary follows the life of William H.

state and federal transportation funding are able to participate so long as the bridges face poor structural conditions, cause long detours, reduce the risk of flooding, mitigate weight restrictions, facilitate economic development and more. Saranac Town Supervisor Nick Carter plans on applying to rebuild the Square Dashnaw Road Bridge in Saranac, which washed away after Hurricane Sandy hit in 2013. The fallen structure located over Cold Brook on Square Dashnaw Road off of Standish Road causes a three-mile detour for primarily residents and town services. Replacement could cost between $800,000 and $1.2 million, said Carter. The town applied for funding through FEMA but was denied due to not meeting all the requirements. The letter sent by Andrew Feeney, deputy commissioner of Disaster Recovery Programs for Homeland Security and Emergency Services, did not specify why their proposal was rejected. Other funding was sought out as well, but those efforts were unsuccessful. “I am cautiously confident that they will help us,” Carter said of the state. “At this point, anything will help.” Carter also plans to enter Bailey Bridge in Redford, a temporary structure put up 20 years ago after the original was taken out by ice jams. Other municipalities, such as the town and city of Plattsburgh, have no intention on applying. Applications are due Sept. 9. Applicants may submit up to two applications for bridge projects and up to five applications for culvert projects. Only one bridge project and up to three culvert projects will be funded per year. The DOT website didn’t state when the winners would be announced. For more information, visit dot.ny.gov/bridgeny.

Solomon Northup descendents reflect on visit to Schroon history museum By Kim Dedam
kdedam@suncommunitynews.com
SCHROON — Solomon Northup’s memoir “12 Years A Slave” was written in 1893. But his ancestors find lessons in revisiting the tale today. A group of Solomon’s descendents recently traveled from their homes to Fort Edwards, then to Schroon and on to AuSable Chasm to visit the North Star Museum. Their sojourn chronicled Solomon Northup Day, the third Saturday in July, a time that marks the approximate day his autobiographical story was published over a century ago. At the Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society Museum on Main Street in Schroon, the wall along one room pulls facets of Solomon’s experience into modern focus. Photographs, music, a ship’s manifest that names its human cargo, a pin-marked map are made multi-dimensional with the artifacts of slavery: chains, cotton plants, a mannequin wearing a cotton-picker’s clothes and a slave’s tag dangling around its neck. Solomon’s great-great granddaughter Irene Northrup-Zahos made what was a two-day pilgrimage for Solomon Northup Day this year and stopped here. “The violin above the mannequin in Schroon was a pivoting artifact in the life of Solomon,” she said of what is reflected in the museum’s telling of her family’s story. “It not only was an instrument that he was adept with, but one which was ‘instrumental’ in plotting his life with twelve years of slavery,” Zahos said. Solomon was “inveigled,” Schroon exhibit curator Laura Dewey explained. “He was tricked into thinking he could play fiddle for a traveling show and was taken, instead, into the deep south to work the fields.” It was a time, Dewey said, when slave owners could no longer steal and sell people from other continents, and plantations were desperate to make slaves from free people. Solomon was born here in what is now Minerva, then part of the Town of Schroon, Dewey explained. In tracing their chapter of Solomon’s legacy, Schroon historians point to his birthplace and his father Mintus Northup’s occupation as farmer in this region. The Schroon history center display drew strong feelings from Solomon’s great-great granddaughter. “As one of the oldest members of Solomon’s descendants, I am very humbled by the attention to detail offered at the exhibits that we have been able to see this year, which trace the life story, as well as the unique interaction that Solomon influenced at each one,” Northrup-Zahos said. “The display at the Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society Museum was a labor of love and dedication. To be met with a mannequin likeness of Solomon Northup was somewhat awe-inspiring, if not heart rendering,” Northrup-Zahos said.

“Never before have we been better positioned to offer our readers all the news of importance they need in their daily lives,” Gereau said. Dan Alexander, publisher of Sun Community News, said he is committed to investing in quality staff at a time when corporately-owned daily newspapers are slashing staff, providing less content and forcing unpaid furloughs on employees. Alexander referred to these big corporations as “carpetbaggers” who shuttle money out of the region to line the pockets of investors. “These people are not committed to serve the community only to pad their own bottom line,” Alexander said. “As these organizations cut staff and reduce services they also send the message that newspapers no longer have a place in the community. “Companies like ours continue to disprove that belief,” Alexander said. “Newspapers that do not shrink when the going gets tough will stand the test of time, provided the community continues to support our efforts.” Hired or promoted at Sun Community News were:

Helping dairy calves handle the heat Northern New York agricultural development project underway at Miner Institute CHAZY — With funding from the farmer-driven Northern New York Agricultural Development Program, a project is underway to evaluate ways that dairy farmers can manage calf nutrition to reduce the impact of heat stress on the young animals. According to Ohio State University and the University of Illinois, the economic impact of heat stress can result in annual losses of $253,000 with dairy animals up to one year of age in New York State. During heat stress, calves must use more energy to regulate their body temperature. This requires more dietary nutrients. Researchers observed in a previous study that calves decreased their intake of milk replacer and starter grain during times of heat stress, said project leader Kayla Hultquist of the W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute. “This new project investigates strategies that will encourage calves to increase their caloric intake during hot weather.” The research team is working with three groups of calves housed in outdoor hutches at the Miner Institute dairy farm in Clinton County. Researchers are evaluating the use of milk replacer supplemented with fat as a way to increase caloric intake without the calves having to consume a larger quantity of milk replacer. Project data will be available by year-end on the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program website at nnyagdev.org, at the December 2016 Dairy Day at Miner Institute, and at dairy association meetings.

All State baseball players named, softballers snubbed By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
ELIZABETHTOWN — While nine Section VII baseball standouts were named to the New York State Sportswriters Association’s All State team, there were no accolades for Section VII softball players, including anyone from the state Class C semifinalists Ticonderoga Lady Sentinel’s. The leader of the Sentinel attack, Hannah Ross, was a member of the Class C third team one year ago, posting an undefeated record in CVAC and Section VII play. This season, accomplishing the same feat while helping her team to its first-ever trip to the state final four, Ross was not named to one of the four Class C all state teams. Ross was the only returning Section VII softball player to be on an all state team. While Ross did not receive a nod for selection on an all state team, senior classmate Ryan Trudeau was named to the Class C third team for a second year in a row, finishing off a big year of awards for the Ticonderoga standout, who was also named as a member of the first team in football (Class D) and the New York State High School Football Coaches Association Class D Student-Athlete of the Year. In Class B baseball, Beekmantown and Plattsburgh High School each had two all state selections, with Eagles’ shortstop Keegan Ryan (second team) and catcher Nathan Hebert (fourth) being honored, along with Hornets’ pitchers Alex Fullmer (seventh) and Andrew Bechard (eighth).

Plattsburgh Brewfest << Continued from | p. 1
Additionally, the number of microbreweries has grown by 263 percent, from 40 in 2010 to 145, while the number of farm distilleries like Elfs grew from 10 in 2010 to 90 today. Ausable Brewing Company have become darlings on the local scene since their launch two years ago. Their three-day summer event schedule draws hundreds to their Keeseville brewery, part of a burgeoning scene that also includes food trucks and live music. They hope to bring some of that sizzle to Plattsburgh. “We feel these events are worth going to,” said Dylan Badger, Ausable Brewing Company co-owner. “It gets our beers into the hands of people.” Dylan and his brother, Dan, produce just seven barrels of beer each week, making their product somewhat of a precious community. The pair will showcase a new brew on Saturday: Cranberry Brett, a Belgian Lambic aged with cranberries. Another participant, Oval Craft, has somewhat of a lower profile. After years of homebrewing, Jesse Jolicoeur launched the biz just this past May with a small operation located in the Plattsburgh Barracks, where he concocts brews with names like Coeur Noir, Pepe’s Plaid and Audubon Haze. While business has been slowly increasing since opening day, Jolicoeur hopes to increase foot traffic by participating and featuring a specialty blood orange ginger root brew. Despite the steady drumbeat of good news from Albany — restaurants are now allowed to serve alcohol before noon on Sundays, a measure that buoyed spirits of boozy brunchers across the state — some measures are beyond control, like the declining Canadian dollar. This has resulted in less visitation from Canadian visitors. As a result, sales at Frey’s took a tumble last year. Last year, Frey said the brewfest made a majority of its profits from Canadians. While advance ticket sales from Canadians have also decreased, more tickets are being purchased from out of town and out of the state as far as California, said Frey, adding he anticipated a 10 percent increase in sales this year. “The biggest benefit of this event is exposure and meeting new people,” Frey said. “It should be good for our business and the craft beverage industry as a whole.” Participating vendors include: ADK Hard Cider in Plattsburgh, Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House in Plattsburgh, Blue Line Brewery in Saranac Lake, Paradox Brewery in Schroon Lake, Big Tupper Brewing Company in Tupper Lake, Hid-InPines Vineyard in Morrisonville, Ausable Brewing Company in Keeseville , Livingood’s Pub & Brewery in Peru and Plattsburgh Brewing Company in Plattsburgh
