P’burgh rallies in support of Iran Nuclear Deal

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — People for Positive Action and community members rallied in front of Rep. Elise Stefanik’s Plattsburgh office to convince her to support the Iran nuclear deal.

“If people turn this down, there could be a war,” said Mona White from People for Positive Action, a local group that supports the deal. “That’s what we want to prevent.”

Iran and a group of six na-

tions led by the United States reached an agreement in mid July to limit Iran’s nuclear ability for more than a decade in return for lifting international oil and financial sanctions.

The deal culminates 20 months of negotiations sought out by President Barrack Obama.

In early September, the decision will be made to approve or reject this deal.

“The war hawks who want war with Iran are the same war hawks who took us to war in Iraq and we know how that

ended up,” said Mary Alice Shemo from People for Positive Action. “A 60-day clock started ticking the moment negotiators announced the Iran deal and we have this time to defend the deal and stop the war.”

NUCLEAR WEAPONS An atomic bomb can be made from two types of radioactive materials: uranium or plutonium.

The highlight of this deal is that it aims to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon made from these two elements.

In practical terms, it puts limits on many of Iran’s nuclear programs.

Iran has agreed to turn its Fordow facility — the site of an underground uranium enrichment facility at a former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base - into a research center where Iranian and world scientists will work side by side.

Also, Iran has also agreed to rebuild its Arak heavy-water reactor — the only site in Iraq capable of starting production Two community members held up signs of diplomacy and peace during the rally support of the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Miner shares modern dairy farming practices

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH/CHAZY — The first evidence of milking cows and consuming dairy products was drawn in ancient Egyptian caves around 230 B.C. Since then, dairy farming practices have evolved and improved to much more than a simple farmer milking a cow by hand.

Melissa Woolpert, master of science candidate at Miner Institute in Chazy, did a presentation called “New Look, Same Great Farm: Understanding Modern Dairy Farming” at the Plattsburgh Public Library Wednesday, Aug. 26, focusing on modern dairy farming practices and how the dairy industry has evolved.

“I’m certainly not a farm girl by nature, but when I came up here, I fell in love with the cows and I fell in love with farming,” Woolpert said. “Old farms are beautiful, and there’s nothing better than an iconic farm landscape, but more modern farms offer a lot of things that old farms didn’t offer.”

Over the years, dairy farming has made three improvements: animal well-being, farming land and health safety.

FOOD SAFETY At the Miner Institute, if they’re cleared with a clean bill of health, cows enter the milking parlor two to three times a day.

Instead of hand milking, the Miner Institute using milking machines, which are soft silicone shells with rubber inflations on the inside that use a combination of general massaging and vacuum-like suction to get the milk.

The milk is tested seven to 10 times from when it leaves the cow to when it gets into the dairy part of a grocery store to make sure it’s free of antibiotics.

Antibiotics can get into the milk supply if farmers accidentally put the milk from a cow who’s been treated with antibiotics into the food supply.

If this happens, farmers are responsible for purchasing the entire trailer truck load of milk, which could cost them about $10,000.

Farmers prevent this by identifying the treated cow with red velcro straps around her legs and keeping track of the specific medication she’s taking and how long it takes to get out of her system. Though she still gets milked, her milk is separated completely from the rest of the herd’s.

As a back-up plan, a milk inspector goes and examines barns unexpectedly with a check board list of all the things that needs to be in order. If a farmer does even one of these things wrong, they’ll have a certain time to fix it. If they don’t fix it by that time, they’ll be fined and run the risk of not having a place to sell their milk anymore.

“This is one of the most important things for farms because farmers have people who are consuming the milk they produce,” Woolpert said. “Farmers really feel a commitment to making sure that the milk they’re selling is safe for humans to drink.”

ANIMAL WELL-BEING After going through the milking process, which is only 10 percent of their day, the cows are able to make their own choice as to what they want to do for the remainder 90 percent of the day.

Cows have the option to eat at their feed bunk, which is a 24-hour all-you-can-eat buffet equipped with headlocks so that cows can enjoy their meal without interruption or interception.

When not eating or milking, cows can choose to lie down in either sand or sawdust bedding,

get cooled off by the barn’s several sprinklers or get a massage by a touch-sensor massager.

Other positive aspects of the barn include fans to keep the cows cool in the summer and insulated curtains and ceilings to keep the cows warm in the winter.

“From an animal well-being standpoint,” Woolpert said, “we’ve definitely made improvements.”

LAND STEWARDS Farmers, Woolpert said, have always been stewards of the land.

Today, farmers are trying to make sure that any nutrients, such as fertilizer, that could run off the fields get caught up into a green area of grass, shrubs and trees so that it doesn’t make it into the nearest waterway.

Also, farmers are working hard to prevent erosion —loss of soil and rocks from rain or wind.

To prevent this, farmers are starting to use Cover Crops - an option to provide a soil cover or barrier to prevent loss of soil.

“The things that haven’t changed are the innovation that farmers use everyday to continue improving,” Woolpert said. “Farming is still really hard work and farmers feel a huge sense of responsibility for the environment, the animals and the food and drink that we’re all enjoying today.”

Au Sable Forks bridge to be replaced in 2016

By Teah Dowling

safely, so the entire building has to be removed.

“We don’t like doing this,” Fisher said. “We don’t like to look at this as an option.”

teah@suncommunitynews.com

AU SABLE FORKS — After over 80 years, the bridge separating the Town of Jay and the Town of Black Brook is getting replaced.

SUPERVISOR’S CONCERNS

EXISTING CONDITIONS Though the bridge was built to the codes and standards of the time and remains safe for everyday traffic, it is susceptible to loss of foundation materials and flooding caused by intensity and velocity of water from extreme natural events.

Right now on the existing structure, which was built in 1931, there’s evidence of steel gusset plate and steel connection plate deterioration.

“There’s not supposed to be holes in steel,” said Jeffrey Fisher, project manager for the NYS Department of Transportation.

NEW BRIDGE Construction is set to begin in early spring 2016 and end in October 2017, possibly. The cost of the project equals about $2 million.

The objective of this project is to provide a bridge crossing that provides a minimum 75 year service life.

The upgrades will include adding steel or concrete pile foundations to concrete bridge abutments and increasing waterway openings — thus hardening the infrastructure for the future improving the hydraulic opening, improving the structure’s resiliency to severe weather events and decreasing the scour vul-

Jeffrey Fisher, project manager for the NYS Department of Transportation, gave a presentation of the construction of the new bridge in Au Sable Forks separating Essex and Clinton counties. The public hearing took place Thursday, Aug. 27 at the Town of Jay Community Center.

nerability of the bridge.

Other additions to this new bridge include increased vehicle lane widths from 10 feet to 12 feet, wider roadway width between curbs, a small shoulder for both sides and a pedestrian sidewalk with railing.

“It’s going to be labor intensive,” said Fisher.

CONSTRUCTION TASKS Construction will require permanent

property impacts, such as one fee acquisition, two permanent easements and eight temporary easements for construction — spaces for construction, design and environmental groups to do their work.

The construction of the new bridge will also require one structure removal, William Sullivan’s building.

Sullivan’s building, which was primarily used as apartment space, has three separate foundations. Due to the locations of the foundations, it’s not going to be possible for construction workers to put in a new bridge

Black Brook Supervisor Ricky Nolan, who expressed his sadness of the demolishing of Sullivan’s building, expressed his and the town’s biggest concern of the Au Sable Forks Fire Department and the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance.

With the incorporation of this bridge, traffic would be dwindled down to one lane with a traffic signal light.

Both the Au Sable Forks Fire Department and the Au Sable Forks Volunteer Ambulance are located within the Jay, making Black Brook vulnerable in terms of emergency.

To solve this issue, Nolan plans on relocating a number of ambulances and fire trucks on the Clinton County side, since the next closest fire department is in Keeseville.

“That’s all being planned right now,” Nolan said. “But this bridge is really needed.”

COMMENT DEADLINE All oral and written comments must be received by Sept. 8.

Comments may be made by contacting Fisher at 50 Wolf Road, POD 4-3, Albany, NY 12232; 518-457-9916; or jeff.fisher@dot. ny.gov.

CCHA’s Town of Saranac Exhibit to close Oct.

situated around the Summit Station, which was the second of two railroad stops in the town.

The town, specifically Churubusco, was very oriented around farming. Many families made their living by operating large potato and dairy farms.

“It was a very small town,” Couture said.

“It’s truly the frontier.”

Guests will be able to witness this history starting January 2016 — only if the museum receives donations of artifacts and photos from families of ancestors who resided back in the days.

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH/SARANAC — The “Saranac Life and Times in an Adirondack Town” exhibit is nearing its end to be viewed.

The exhibit, which has been up since January at the Clinton County Historical Association Museum, will be closing at the end of October.

This collection covers the Town of Saranac’s — Clayburg, Dannemora, Elsinore, High Bank, Moffitsville, Picketts Corners, Redford, Russia, Saranac, Saranac Hollow and Standish — history of mining, manufacturing, logging and farming.

Specifically, it tells and shows the history of the Redford Picnic, iron industries and foraging, Dannemora Dairy, the flooding of 1947 and the Redford Glass Company.

“Most of our towns don’t have a lot of industries anymore,” said Jan Couture, Town of Saranac historian. “It’s just interesting to find out how your town got to be where it is today.”

REDFORD GLASS COMPANY In operation from 1831 to 1851, the Redford Glass Company operated along the shores of the Saranac River.

Specializing in window panes, these unique pieces were created by the glass blowers as “end-of-the-day” pieces and sold in the company store.

THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM

Known specifically for the sea green/aquamarine coloring, the Redford Glass is prized among rare glass collectors throughout the United States.

“We have the largest exhibit of Redford Glass in the state,” said Couture.

The majority of the Redford Glass collection at CCHA was acquired in 1978 from the Boire family of Mooers. Eva Boire, local antique collector, was responsible for assembling this collection of framed bulls-eye panes, pitchers, lamps, soup ladles, mace and

many more.

TOWN OF CLINTON The Town of Clinton was formed in May 14, 1845.

As more and more people settled into the area after the Mexican-American War, hamlets were gradually formed: the Frontier on the Canadian border, Wrightsville on the western border, Clinton Mills on the south branch of the English river and Churubusco

CCHA every year features one town. So far, they’ve covered Lyon Mountain, Peru and Saranac. In January, they’ll feature Clinton if they get items for the exhibit.

“We have gaps; we don’t have a lot of things for the Saranac exhibit,” Peck said. “We’re qualified to conserve those materials for the exhibits.”

The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Museum admission is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors, $2 for students and free for CCHA members.

CCHA awarded $7,500 in grant funding CCHA to use funding for outreach program and new book

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH/SARANAC — The Clinton County Historical Association was awarded $7,500 in grant funding from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership and Lake Champlain Basin Program.

CCHA plans to use these funds to create a four-part educational outreach program for Clinton County elementary schools and to also support the publication of a new history book.

“We applied for this grant in November 2014,” said Melissa Peck, CCHA director. “We figured we would develop something where we could bring the museum to the schools.”

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH For the outreach program, the CCHA will start off the educational outreach program by partnering with staff at the Saranac Elementary school to create a series of local history programs for fourth graders.

Students start learning about local history in fourth grade, but it’s not so much local history as it is New York State history.

To change this, Jan Couture, retired teacher and current Town of Saranac Historian, will work with Peck to design an interactive program covering the basics of Clinton County’s settlement, military heritage, industrial development and attractions.

“This is where they live,” Couture said. “They need to know where they come from and they need to know where they’re going.

“Once the kids can relate to it, then it becomes personal.”

In time, the museum hopes to see this program offered throughout other fourth grade classrooms throughout Clinton County.

HISTORY BOOK The other portion of the funds is designated to support the research and publication of a general history book on the history of Clinton County’s military base, known to many as the Old Base or the Plattsburgh Barracks.

The book will be co-authored by local author Richard Frost and Peck.

“Children have an opportunity to get more involved with local history because it’s right outside their door,” Peck said. “That’s why it’s important.”

The new book will be announced and completed sometime in spring 2016 and the school outreach program is set to begin in June 2016.

City to hold Plucky Rooster Contest PLATTSBURGH — Champlain Centre is teaming up with the City of Plattsburgh to host the Plucky Rooster Contest, which is a popular Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration activity.

The legend of the rooster recalls an incident said to have occurred on Sept. 11, 1814 during a naval battle in Plattsburgh Bay between the British and the Americans.

According to the legend, when a cannon ball fired by the British smashed into a coop on the deck of the American vessel, a rooster flew out, flapped his wings and crowed lustily.

The American sailors cheered what they considered a good luck omen, fought on and were victori-

ous on that historic day.

The rooster exhibit is on display in the “coop” outside the food court next to Sbarro.

The Plucky Rooster Contest is free and open to everyone. Contestants can win in the following categories: Best Plucky Rooster and People’s Choice Plucky Rooster.

Families, individuals, clubs and businesses are encouraged to participate. The winning Plucky Rooster will be displayed in the Battle of Plattsburgh Parade on Sept. 12.

All Plucky Roosters must be in Champlain Centre by Thursday, Sept. 3 at 6 p.m. Plucky Roosters

aways in New York City, individual counseling practices and at the Samaritan Family Counseling Center in Peru, seminary teaching, leading Presbytery committees, activism and more.

He’s delivered at least 532 sermons in the Peru Community Church and close to 1,200 services he’s led or been a significant participant in over the past 15 years in the church, with more if including other churches he’s served over the years.

The Peru Community Church celebrated Pastor Svenson’s time here and wished him well Friday, August 28 at the church Fellowship Center with a dinner and program.

display is Friday, Sept. 4 to Thursday, Sept. 10.

Voting for People’s Choice is from Sept. 4 to Sept.

9. Plucky Rooster Awards Ceremony is Thursday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. at Champlain Centre.

All roosters must have a name and be a minimum of 3 feet tall. All Plucky Roosters must be handmade and can be made of any material.

Complete rules and information can also be found on www.champlain1812.com or at the administrative fffice of Champlain Centre (hallway by food court).

The Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration is set to take place Sept. 10 -13, 2015.

Peru says goodbye to Rev. Svenson The Peru Community Church, located at Elm and Pleasant streets in Peru, is a federated church of both the Presbyterian and Methodist traditions, established in the mid-1940s from churches whose history in Peru dates back to the early 1800s.

The church building is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been a continuous place of worship since the building was constructed in 1833; the adjacent Fellowship Center serves the church and the wider community/non-profit groups with a chapel, meeting spaces and large gathering hall.

Behaving badly

ast week early morning TV viewers in Virginia were shocked when a disgruntled former WDBL station employee killed a young reporter and the cameraman filming her interview.

We learned the shooter was Vester Flanagan, who professionally went by the name Bryce Williams. He was described as someone who was difficult to work with, easily offended and sometimes feared. Prior to the shooting, Flanagan had previous employment issues that, at one time, would have been made known to the management at WDBJ. Nothing in Flanagan’s background disqualified him from buying the gun he used to commit this crime.

As for his mental health, the standard in federal law is very high: “adjudicated as a mental defective” or “committed to a mental institution.” Nothing in Flanagan’s history indicates that either standard fit him, but it appears many others were aware of his reputation as an unstable person.

So many of these senseless shootings end up being committed by unstable individuals that others knew, but that common knowledge is unable to be put into the public domain for fear of legal retribution.

In 2013 there was a total of 404 workplace homicides according the US Labor Bureau of Statistics. Colleagues and former coworkers were responsible for 74 of those 404 deaths.

During my 40+ year business career, I’ve personally witnessed a number of dismissals that have gone very badly. Thankfully, none ever resulted in an injury or death, although there were times when we called law enforcement.

Employers are frequently warned by human resource legal specialists that no good deed goes unpunished. In today’s workplace one of the most damaging things a well meaning employer can do is to provide employment information to another employer. Even something as simple as a letter of positive recommendation can come back to haunt the employer.

While I’m not advocating for trampling on anyone’s personal rights there must be some form of clearing house that can be developed where private records can be compiled and maintained, if for nothing more than further screening should someone amass numerous red flags from multiple independent sources.

We must find a solutions to help unstable individuals get the counseling they need and prevent them from obtaining lethal weapons.

A community of caring sees the fruit of its labors E

xactly one year ago today, students were set to enjoy their first weekend of the 2014-15 school year.

In the town of Ticonderoga, on a night that should have been reserved for taking in the first home game of the varsity football season, that all changed when just after 11 p.m. Sept. 5, a teacher working late at the school heard a noise and detected smoke at St. Mary’s Catholic School.

Hours later, firefighters, teachers, staff and the community of St. Mary’s school were left to witness the damage as the sun came up on a Saturday morning that changed their lives and those in the community.

There was little time to hang heads and mourn the sudden loss of supplies, materials and the building that had long been home to local children and teachers.

Immediately, plans were put in place to get the kids back into school. Younger kids found a new home when the First United Methodist Church of Ticonderoga opened its door to help another member of the ecumenical community.

With the youngsters set up, the basement of St. Mary’s Church became home for the middle school students, who were able to continue their learning.

Also as quick were the efforts to replace everything which was damaged. Organizations like the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Knights of Columbus, Elks, International Paper, Rotary - this list can go on forever - stepped up to supply needed items for students like paper, pencils, classroom supplies and more.

Former students now miles away started GoFundMe pages on the internet, bringing in more supplies and needed money.

Dinners were planned. Bake sales by students themselves were held. We reported on the efforts of Aubrey Whitford, who helped design a “St. Mary’s Strong” sweatshirt which raised funds toward the cause.

Catholic charities and many of the regional diocese also helped out. Last week, we reported on a supply drive happening now through Margot Kapusinski, who summers in Hullet’s Landing and is asking for help from her home diocese in New Jersey.

This all shows what a community can do when they rally together for the common good. In fact, the Ticonderoga community is at it again, recently holding Rhyan’s Ride to benefit Rhyan Towne, a young man battling disease.

His t-ball league also held a fundraiser for he and his family earlier in the year.

We have seen this before. We saw it in Keene, Jay and other towns after Tropical Storm Irene blew through leaving a path of damage rarely seen in the North Country. We saw it in Elizabethtown and Westport when communities banded together to help fight for youth in need of organ transplants.

This sense of oneness is special in the North Country, and something we should not take for granted.

With all this being said, the biggest question has yet to be addressed.

On Sept. 6, there is scheduled to be a re-opening mass and dedication at the school.

Part one of closure for the Ticonderoga and St. Mary’s community.

Two days later, students will rush into their “new” school for the first time in 368 days.

Part two of closure.

So what will be the final chapter which will bring full closure to this community� The St. Mary’s School fire was ruled arson by state investigators shortly after it was put out. Touring through the charred innards of the school, our reporters could see where the ignition points in five locations were, not at all accidental. This is the final question which needs to be answered.

Those accountable need to be brought to justice, the final closure to allow a community, school and student body the chance to once and for all put a tragic moment behind them and remember the healing and celebration which all took place as the community bonded together in the aftermath.

But there was a special refuge where I could take our young children each week and feel welcomed and comfy-cozy: our small public library – housed in the upper corner of the Town Hall building.

Well, guess what� Thirty years later, I am working part-time in this same little library. The space has not changed even by one foot, but the services to the patrons of this community have changed exponentially! There are computers to work on, E-readers to borrow, 40 magazine subscriptions to be freely accessed, discount passes to local attractions, hundreds of movies and audio books and music CD’s available for checkout, and an up-to-date library collection that extends to 26 other Essex County libraries in our system. Just about any book on any subject you desire can be had here.

So, “Why” you ask, “is the library still in the same inadequate space� Why is it crowded with regular patrons and summer residents and children at any given time of the day, leaving little room to even explore its offerings�” - When the Town of Schroon can finance and receive grants for so many other worthy projects, why can’t we get a Library Expansion Project bonded and on the road as other neighboring towns have� We all have an opportunity to make our voices heard to the Town Board Members either by contacting each of them personally or by attending the Town Meeting Monday, Sept. 14, at 6 p.m. If you want our library to continue its progress into the 21st and 22nd centuries, PLEASE LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

To the Editor: Did you know that experts believe that most suicidal individuals do not want to die� They just want to end the pain they’re experiencing. Experts also know that suicidal crises tend to be brief. So when warning signs are detected early, lives can be saved.

Suicide is an issue everywhere, and it’s an issue in Essex County. But there are services available in our community for assessing and treating suicidal behaviors and their underlying causes.

The Essex County Suicide Prevention Coalition is sponsoring a Suicide Prevention Awareness Rally Tuesday, Sept. 8, from 11:30 am to 1 p.m. at the County Government Complex lawn in Elizabethtown. It is free and open to the public. The Suicide Prevention Awareness Rally features community agencies with the goal of raising awareness, providing information and increasing action to reduce suicide.

The Rally is one of the ways we’re reaching out. I hope to see you at the Rally – it’s for everyone and anyone – get help for yourself or get help for someone else. There is hope, and together we can reduce the number of lives affected by suicide.

Town Board passes resolutions To the Editor: Willsboro Town Board consisting of Charles Lustig, Nancy Huestis Eustis, Steven Benway, Shau Gillliland and me, unanimously approved the resolutions to change the grant from NYSENCON for the repairs to the river banks at the former Black Ash Pond to the west side of the Boquet River. We also approved at no cost to the Town to make a study of removing the dam located on Mill Street and School Street. In the resolution for the study Charles Lustig insisted that if the dam was to be removed a referendum of the Willsboro voters would be done requesting the voters to declare if they want the dam in or out. Both resolutions were passed unanimously by 2013 Town Board. During the discussion with the engineering company making the study I stressed that I wanted to see information on possible flooding in the Hamlet area and lamprey eel problem and what would the aesthetic appearance be of the hamlet river area. My concern was that if the dam was out, the water in that area would be very shallow and the ice could freeze to the bottom of the river causing flooding in the spring. The problem does occur in the other rivers in the Adirondacks and ice buildup as in other rivers. Also if dam was out the lamprey eel could go up stream and do a lot of damage to the wild life of other streams that feed the Boquet River. It’s my understanding that very little study was done on my concerns and the present board of Lane Sayward, Steven Benway, Charles Lustig. Lori Sheehan and Shaun Gilliland rescinded or ignored the 2013 resolution. A resolution to take the dam was passed.

Fire department lauded To the Editor: Dear Chief Thatcher: I just wanted to drop a word of admiration and appreciation for the tremendous response your company made yesterday to a brush fire on Royal Anchorage Way. My family and I were leaving the Hague dock when we noted what first appeared to be a rather large camp fire. As we crossed the lake, the smoke rapidly accelerated until it looked like the Zelanis home was on fire.

We called 911 and docked there to see how to help. At that time, the brush fire was raging and within 10 feet of the final bank of trees adjacent to the Zelanis’ porch with strong winds fanning the fire. Neighbors were trying to put the fire out with a garden hose and a man from Bayside NY called Mike and I were shuttling up 5 gallon pails of water from the lake and using shovels to stop the ground fire. It was only a matter of moments before the fire would jump onto the Zelanis porch. The situation was very dire.

Thankfully the Putnam Fire Department arrived with a water truck and rapidly reduced the flames which were then just at the edge of the trees adjacent to the house, which had just started up into the canopy after burning the forest floor. I am absolutely certain that in another 10-15 minutes, the fire would have burnt the Zelanis home – which was down stream of the accelerating flames being fanned by a very brisk wind right towards the house.

Shortly afterwards, other firemen arrived and worked back the blaze in a coordinated way.

It was just amazing to see how organized and prompt the fire department was. It was clear that the firemen had come in whatever clothes they had on while doing other things that they must have literally dropped in order to make it to the blaze that quickly. And they knew exactly what to do and were able to direct the people who had showed up like us to help - to perform appropriate support away from the blaze.

I do not know who the people are in the cell phone picture attached. The firefighters were cutting a long dead tree that had become like a chimney that was shooting flames up into the forest canopy. The man in the blue shirt was another neighbor I think.

The Zelanis home would have surely been lost yesterday had it not been for the brilliant response of the fire department.

Thank you for what the department did yesterday. It was an all-around awesome demonstration of all that is good and noble in what you do.

Warmest regards and admiration.

Little Bits Old barns Gordie Little

Columnist

C

lose your eyes and picture your favorite old barn and silo. Where are they� As we sat on our back deck along the river a few days ago, Kaye and I sipped coffee and opined about that very subject.

When it’s time to write this column, I beg my muses for inspiration. In this case, a friend posted a photo of a charming wooden barn and sagging silo on a social site and it set my mind to whirling. Kaye’s, too.

She was instantly transported to a wonderfully weathered wooden structure off State Route 3 on the Goldsmith Road. I have passed it numerous times and snapped photographs, but the picture in my mind is indelible. There are many more. My favorites are in St. Lawrence County where those once flourishing dairy farms are now empty, decrepit and moldering.

I’m glad and sad, happy remembering what used to be, but not so much for the fact that many once burgeoning farms are now abandoned and crumbling.

We love to drive around and look for such places.

Kaye and I stop and try to imagine a bustling family heading out to do the morning chores; milking 35 or 40 head of Holsteins by hand; dumping pails of raw milk into cans and hoisting them into the cooler.

Kaye’s memories take her back to what was known as “the Gale” in Jericho, now the home of a local YMCA Day Camp. The house is gone, but the beautiful old barn is still there welcoming laughing youngsters every summer day. I am transported back in time to the early1950s when I worked for Dave Hilts outside Moira in Franklin County. We used the old horse to hoist loose hay from the wagon and pulled the trip rope to deposit it in the mow; then sweating to climb up and “mow it away” with a pitch fork.

We have marveled at stone barns, round barns, pole barns and many more.

We love one on Cape Cod that houses antique cars and another surrounding a carousel. We recall seeing Amish barns in many places. We have visited the wellkept barns on the Hearts Delight Miner Farm in Chazy.

We especially enjoy stopping by some ancient wreck of a barn and imagining what it was like in its glory days.

Bless those of you who have an old barn you have repurposed to hold your collection of antiques or arrowheads or paintings or whatever. And bless those of you who paint and photograph the old barns for us to enjoy in perpetuity.

ent types of games,” said Leeward Babbie, owner of Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum. “Each year, we try to come up with something different.”

During this two day festival, kids will immerse themselves in old time games, such as hopscotch, sack races, digging for treasure, bean bag toss, apple bobbing, egg races and a Babbie original called pumpkin tic-tac-toe where kids will play the classic game on a large board on the ground with ropes and small multi-colored pumpkins.

Kids will also have the opportunity to go dig for treasure, climb the hay mound, get their face painted, visit the animals, take a trip on Thomas the Train, go on a stagecoach ride or hayride and participate in one or more of the many demonstrations they offer.

Extra demonstrations include milking the museum’s model cow and using a washboard and vintage ringer washing machine — taking kids on a journey through time from the 1800s to the mid 1900s.

“We try to do our best to come up with things that the children would like and I think they’ll enjoy this event,” Babbie said. “It’s fun at the Babbie Rural & Farm Learning Museum.”

Food and drinks will be available through Kat’s Katering.

General admission is $7. Children ages 3-13 cost $4 and children under 3 are free. Food is not included in admission.

There will also be activities for the adults as well, including croquet and horseshoes.

Escape << Continued from | p. 1

“To see the things that went on behind the scenes will stay with me forever.”

Photographer Damian Battinelli captured this photo after one of Joyce Mitchell’s Plattsburgh court hearing completely by accident.

FOLLOWING ESCAPEES When Battinelli first heard about the search, he believed they would be caught right away. After a few days, he thought they had escaped to Mexico. A week later, his intuition led him to believe they were still in the area.

Once he drew this conclusion, he jumped in his car and immersed himself into search by integrating himself into the news organizations, following state troopers and venturing into the woods when Matt and Sweat were still on the loose.

He also tracked down the trailer Matt supposedly spent his last night in — an experience he described as exciting and nerve wracking.

“I wanted to capture people who lived outside the manhole and the prison and the chaos of the news,” Battinelli said. “I was gathering a sense of what these inmates were going through and what the law enforcement was going through.”

The two things Battinelli tried to capture, which he hopes to capture in the future, are portraits of Lyle Mitchell, the husband of Joyce Mitchell, and Sergeant Jay Cook, the officer who shot Sweat.

on weapons-grade plutonium. The international community will approve a design and the design’s point would be to make the production of the weapons-grade plutonium impossible.

Besides programs, it requires Iran to give up most of its centrifuges — going from 20,000 centrifuges to having 6,104 for the next 10 years.

“Please don’t ever use the word ‘nuclear’ and the word ‘weapon’ and the word ‘Iran’ in the same sentence,” Shemo said. “The program has never been about nuclear weapons; it’s been about peaceful uses of uranium and plutonium.”

BENEFITS IRAN The deal allows Iran to enrich uranium to no more than 3.67 percent at its Natanz facility, which is enough for civilian purposes (such as power plants) but is lower than what’s needed for a weapon.

Iran agreed to reduce its stockpile of uranium by 98 percent. Iran currently has 10,000 kg of enriched uranium, but, under this deal, Iran could keep 300 kg for the next 15 years.

By doing this, Iran will receive a nod from the international community that it can in-

deed keep a non-military nuclear program going.

“Not only does it give up protection during that time, but it creates the possibility of a relationship between the United States and Iran,” said George Baker, who was present at the rally. “This is critical, crucial and world historical.

“We need to do it.”

COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTIONS If passed, this deal would give inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency access to Iranian facilities 24/7.

These inspections consist of continuously monitoring every element of Iran’s declared nuclear program and verifying that no fissile material is transportation to a secret location to build a bomb.

If inspectors become aware of a suspicious location, Iran has agreed to implement Additional Protocol to their IAEA Safeguards Agreement, which allows inspectors to access and inspect any site they deem suspicious.

Also, if there’s a dispute about Iran meeting its obligations, the United Nations Security Council would vote on a resolution to continue the sanctions lifting.

“The alternative is not a good alternative,” said Shryle Monzeglio, who was present at the rally. “If we turn it down, Iran will have a

PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY Battinelli started his photo journey in 1995 when his father, an amateur hobbyist photographer, bought him a Pentax P30T 35mm black and white film camera for Christmas so that he could take photography classes in high school at Peru Central School.

After high school, he decided to take on another one of father’s interests by entering in the Air National Guard after high school.

Battinelli exited the military after about 13 years when he decided to start his own photography business.

“When I got out of the military, I didn’t want to work for anybody but myself,” Battinelli said. “I’m proud of what I did, but I’m glad it’s over, so I thought I could be a photographer.”

He invested his retirement, about $25,000, into the business — new camera, laptop, computer, lighting equipment, etc — and he started taking photos of families, babies, weddings and events.

Battinelli decided to move forward with his photography business after being treated and cured for bladder cancer.

“When you think you’re dying, you really can’t even think what it would be like to think that way,” he said. “Little [expletive] doesn’t matter, big [expletive] doesn’t matter and you really focus on what’s important.

“My dream was important.”

After finding out they had removed the cancer, he started networking and moved his way up the photography ladder until he reached celebrities.

Ultimately, made a decision to shoot celebrities of comedy because of his love of not only photography, but love of laughter — something he’s still doing today.

“Everything that I’ve done has gotten me to this point for a reason,” Battinelli said. “I think that is where it will stay.”

SECOND EXHIBIT The main gallery exhibit will feature drawings by artist Kimberly Berg and sculptural pieces by jeweler Christian Rodriguez.

Both exhibits in the main and community galleries will be on view until Oct. 2. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information on these exhibits, upcoming events, concerts or classes at SCA, call 518-563-1604 or visit www. plattsburgharts.org.

“Even just months after the event, we can look back and say ‘wow,’” Elliot said.

“This kind of documentary photography is really saying something about our situations and the cultural and political atmosphere of the situation on a local and national level.”

better chance of developing nuclear weapons despite of all out protests.”

BREAKOUT TIME Though this deal doesn’t entirely dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, this deals extends Iran’s “breakout time” — the time it would take the country to make enough highly enriched material for a nuclear bomb, which is estimated to be about a year if the deal was to be implemented and they would walk away from it.

This deal provides the United States at least a decade to gather ideas about what Iran’s program involves and their capabilities.

However, the deal still needs to be approved by the U.S. Congress.

By the time the deal was announced July 14, Congress had 60 days to scrutinize the accord between Iran and the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany and then vote to accept it or reject it.

The clock is ticking.

“If congress sabotages the deal, the only alternative left to contain Iran’s nuclear program will be a long, costly war,” Shemo said.

“The choice is simple: vote for peace or vote for war.

“There is no third option.”

Stefanik’s office did not immediately respond for comment.

Crowds of people in support of the Iran Nuclear Deal gathered into Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s Plattsburgh office in hopes that she would vote yes to the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Another documentary, “The 46ers,” will be shown in an exclusive public screening at The Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA). The film’s Director, Blake Cortright, will be on hand to give a behind the scenes look into making this documentary about the people who hike the 46 Adirondack High Peaks.

The first 46ers, Herbert Clark — along with brothers Robert and George Marshall — identified 46 mountains in Upstate New York with an elevation of 4,000 feet or higher. Between 1918 and 1925 they hiked to the summits of all 46 peaks. Since then, more than 8,000 people have followed in their footsteps. Although subsequent surveys have found that four of these peaks are less than 4,000 feet, these original 46 remain the basis for becoming a 46er.

The film contains compelling stories,

both humorous and heartrending, of ordinary men and women who have done the extraordinary.

Tim Singer, 46er #1038, explained what climbing the mountains mean to him: “On top of a mountain, it’s too simple to say you’re a kid again, because it’s not that simple,” he said. “You’re just more yourself, you’re the real you and you just like life a lot more.”

This movie, filmed in the backyards of North Country residents, intertwines the beautiful scenery of our Adirondack Mountains with compelling stories.

If you would like to view Blake Cortright’s feature film, hike over to The Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA), 17 Algonquin Drive, Lake Placid, New York.

The show starts at 7 p.m. on Sept 4. Tickets are $10 and are available by calling 518-523-2512 or can be purchased online at www.lakeplacidarts.com. More information about the documentary can be found on the project’s website, the46ersfilm.com.
