City reaches agreement with Plattsburgh Suites

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh executed a settlement agreement with the Plattsburgh Suites of no refund, payment of all back taxes over the next four years.

This agreement, discussed and approved during the Sept.

3 common council meeting, includes an immediate payment of $500,000 and four annual payments of $85,000 and set assessed value at $5.3 million to be increased by 2.5 per-

cent annually until 2020.

“The settlement we proposed was accepted because if you go to court, there’s a downsize risk, but if you settle, you manage exactly what you risk,” Mayor James Calnon said.

“Our feeling was that this was about as good of a deal as we would get in or out of court.”

LAST MEETING A federal bankruptcy court recently laid out a plan for the Plattsburgh Suites to pay the city, over five years, the $877,000 it owes in back taxes

GibsonÊ Brothers Eric and Leigh Gibson to host the International Bluegrass Music Awards ELLENBURG DEPOT — Eric and Leigh Gibson will take the stage not as performers, but hosts for the International Bluegrass Music Awards.

The Ellenburg Depot natives will host the awards ceremony Oct. 1 at the Duke Teah Energy Center for the Performing arts in Dowling Writer Raleigh, N.C. “It’s an emotional thing for someone to be recognized and to get on that stage and have your name called out is an unreal feeling,” Eric said. “It’s a feeling of validation and it’s a moving thing.

“It really is an honor to be hosting the International Bluegrass Music Awards.”

The Gibsons and bandmates Mike Barber (bass), Clayton Campbell (fiddle) and Jesse Brock (mandolin) are also nominated for awards in four categories: Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, Album of the year for “Brotherhood,” Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year for “What a Wonderful Savior Is He” from the album “Brotherhood.” Bandmate Brock is a nominee under Instrumental Performers of the Year from mandolin.

The evening will mark the latest chapter in The Gibson Brothers history with the awards show, dating back to 1998 when they won Emerging Artist of the year. >> Story Continued | pg. 13

and interest from 2013 and 2014.

The city, as a debtor, had to approve the plan before it could be implemented. Councilors unanimously agreed to accept these terms.

“The problem of any negotiation is that you try to get to a point where nobody is really satisfied but both parts can live with it,” Calnon said. “I think we’re at a point where we can clearly live with it.

“The fact that we can get all our back taxes is a really important part because that puts

money in our cash flow; you never want to lose cash.”

ITS HISTORY Plattsburgh Suites, known locally as College Suites, is an almost 400-bed dormitorytype building at 59 Broad St adjacent to the SUNY Plattsburgh campus that opened in 2009.

The company fell on hard times shortly after it opened.

P’burgh starting new microgrid feasibility study SUNY Plattsburgh, City of Plattsburgh and more to partner for NY Prize competition

By Alex Ayala

news@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — With more severe flooding and winter storms, Plattsburgh will be starting a microgrid feasibility study.

SUNY Plattsburgh, the City of Plattsburgh, Meadowbrook Healthcare, Plattsburgh City School District, Plattsburgh Municipal Lighting Department, Samuel F. Vilas Nursing Home and University of Vermont Health Network - Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital are partnering in hopes of winning more than $7 million to build a microgrid.

“One of the challenges we face in New York State is our sources of power are sometimes a long way away from our consumers of power,” Mayor James Calnon said. “Our electricity comes from Niagara Falls.”

Plattsburgh is one of more than 80 finalists who are in the first stage of the NY Prize competition, run by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

Should Plattsburgh make it to stage 2, they would receive up to $1 million in funding for audit-grade engineering de>> Story Continued | pg. 12

City establishes debt of 2014-15 capital expenditures

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh Common Council approved seven bond resolutions authorizing the issuance of $3,261,600 in additional debt.

The new resolutions authorize borrowing of $1,485,000 for street resurfacing, $820,000 for the Plattsburgh City Marina, $350,000 for City Hall repairs, $316,600 in equipment purchases, $150,000 for storm sewer separation, $100,000 for Macdonough Park retaining wall reconstruction and $40,000 of remediation work performed at the 40 Bridge St. city property.

“The bond resolution is simply establishing the debt,” Mayor James Calnon said. “The bond resolutions during that meeting really just sent out the amounts of money, what they were for and gave us authorization to either bond or BAN depending on what’s most important.”

There are two ways that the City of Plattsburgh finances things: bonds or BANs (Bond Anticipation Notes).

Normally, the City of Plattsburgh accumulates debt over a period of two to five years until they get up to a point where they need a bond — basically a short-term loan in anticipation of a larger long-term loan.

Calnon said $8 to $10 million is a good bond size for the city, so the city is contemplating whether to BAN or bond for the next year since they’re at the entry part of that amount.

In 2003, the City of Plattsburgh began discussing what to do with Durkee Street.

So far, there’s been a lot of interest in doing something with the property, currently inhabited by the bigcity parking lot and the abandoned Highway Oil building.

The mayor and former director of community development, Bruce Lawson, discussed the possibilities of the parking lot being turned into a gathering area, with the Farmer’s Market having its own designated area along the waterfront and a stacked parking lot.

“Most cities would die to have this beautiful waterfront,” Lawson said in a previous interview. “We’re blessed with wonderful natural assets and it’s an awesome resource we have available.”

OTHER DEBTS MENTIONED When the city was formed, it had one sewer - making the storm sewer and sanitary sewer combined. When it rains really hard, sometimes the city gets sewer overflow. Though it’s monitored and reported when that happens, the city is on a 20-year plan to separate the sewers for $150,000.

“It’s a big deal,” Calnon said. “It’s a pretty complicated system.”

Other debts mentioned included street reconstruction or street resurfacing similar to work done on South Catherine Street and North Margaret Street, fixing the collapsed wall in Macdonough Park and various equipment purchases.

CITY MARINA CONSTRUCTION One of the bond resolutions focused on the newly constructed Plattsburgh City Marina, which cost $820,000 to construct and officially opened June 6.

The City of Plattsburgh Common Council approved a contract, the final piece of operation, March 19 with the Neagley & Chase Construction Company, LLC for $301,000 and began construction on March 25.

Steve Peters, superintendent of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh, had two goals in mind when establishing the marina: economic development and revenue.

Peters claimed, and the mayor agrees, that the new marina will eventually become a new generator for the community with the potential to generate approximately $1.2 million over 20 years after bond payments and operating expenses.

“We’re projecting the debt to be paid out by the users,” Calnon said. “That won’t cost the taxpayers any money and taxes won’t go up because of it.”

CITY HALL REPAIRS The City of Plattsburgh established a $350,000 capital project to fix the roof, renovate the stones in the entryway, replace carpeting in the council chambers, improve molding upstairs after a roof leak and make it accessible for people with disabilities.

So far, the city has repainted its city parking lot to make it ADA compliant.

The next steps include changing the walkway, fixing the handrails, changing all the doors, installing a handicap bathroom and starting a city-wide analysis of the City of Plattsburgh.

This project came about after the North Country Center for Independence called upon the City of Plattsburgh to conduct a full ADA accessibility audit over the next year of all cityowned properties, programs and services.

The American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and guarantees equal access for people with disabilities to government buildings and programs and businesses that offer services and programs to the public.

“We have a lot to celebrate that the law exists and we have a lot to celebrate that there are a lot of places and areas that do pretty well,” said Robert Poulin, executive director of NCCI, in a previous interview. “But people with disabilities cannot access services at City Hall or the City Clerk’s office and they can’t go to public meetings to hear about the decisions and take part in city government.

“That’s a major violation of people’s civil rights.”

Currently, the only building that’s fully accessible in the City of Plattsburgh is the Plattsburgh Public Library, who just became fully accessible in July after they added a handicap bathroom.

DURKEE, BRIDGE STREET Last fall, the City of Plattsburgh took Highway Oil since they didn’t pay their taxes for three years.

Once the city acquired the property, they spent $40,000 to clean up the oil tanks. They plan to use the property for their broader vision of Durkee Street.

Suites << Continued from | p. 1

at SUNY Plattsburgh was increasing, also a time during the recession. Once constructed, enrollment decreased.

“They built it for a greater student body,” Calnon said. “They didn’t get the occupancy they expected.”

Also, there was a plane crash in August 2012 when United Group founder and Chairman Walter Uccellini was killed in a singleengine aircraft shortly after it took off from Albany International Airport — a trip to Plattsburgh to talk to the Luck Brothers about the debt they owed the contractor.

THE ASSESSMENT While the city accepted the plan for pay-

ment of back taxes and made a settle agreement, It took awhile to get to that point.

Like many businesses, Calnon said, Plattsburgh Suites challenged the assess valuation that they had placed on it for a number of years.

Initially, Plattsburgh Suites was assessed at $12 million by the City of Plattsburgh based on the value of the business gathered by two outside appraisals.

Plattsburgh Suites sought to have the assessment lowered from $12 million to $3 million.

The agreed assessment was $5.3 million as determined by the meeting on Sept. 3.

“For a lot of reasons, we prefer students to live in them — Plattsburgh Suites, Renaissance Village, dorms — because they tend to be safer and better regulated,” said Calnon.

Musical event to benefit Mooers UMC building fund

By Teah Dowling

worship with recorded music,” said Sally Chase-White, pastor of the Mooers United Methodist Church. “It’s a great opportunity to see and listen to something different.

“I hope people will appreciate it and come out for it.”

Proceeds will benefit the Mooers United Methodist Church’s building repair fund.

Starting about 11 months ago, Chase-White undertook a masonry project to fix the ravages of many winters on the old brick church.

Numerous cracks were showing along the walls and foundation, and bricks were falling from the walls almost daily.

Currently, some bricks need to be replaced, coating needs to be put on and money spent on this project needs to be replenished that way the church will have something to fall back on if they need the money for another project.

“This is not a renovation and this is not something that just makes us prettier or more attractive,” Chase-White said.

“This is to save our skins so that we’ll have a church here in 50 years.”

To finance the project, the church hosted a variety of different fundraisers — car washes, harvest dinners, yard sales, a mini farmer’s market, a thrift store, a returnable bottle receptacle outside of the church and, now, a musical performance.

So far, the church has raised $17,000. Their overall goal is to raise $30,000 by the end of this calendar year.

“We truly need to support the churches we have because there’s not a lot of emphasis, in some parts of society, on religion,” Chase-White said. “It’s a place where we can find a home.”

The concert costs $10 and includes refreshments. Tickets can be purchased at the church office, by calling 518-2367129 or at the door.

For more information about the event or the performers, call the Mooers United Methodist Church at 518-236-7129 or the Plattsburgh United Methodist Church at 518-563-2992.

Get muddy: Rockeater Race to take place Sept. 19

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Rockeater Race will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 starting at noon at the Plattsburgh City Beach.

“This is definitely an unique opportunity,” said Steve Peters, organizer of the event and superintendent of recreation for the City of Plattsburgh. “It’s one of those events that’s becoming iconic for the region.

“It really is a great time.”

The 3.1 mile obstacle race will require participants to crawl through sand, walk on planks, climb up hills, jump over fire and maneuver through mud.

“It’s by far the best mudpit anywhere,” Peters said. “Our

guys take really great care to make it nice and soupy and messy.”

There are three waves for this race for both adult men and women. The waves take place 2, 2:30 and 3 p.m.

The kids obstacle course, called the Pebble-Eater, also has three waves taking place: 1/2 mile race at noon for kids ages 4 to 6, 3/4 mile race at 12:30 for kids ages 7 to 9 and a 1 1/2 mile race for kids ages 10-14. Parents are welcome to accompany their kids for the noon and 12:30 waves.

After the kids obstacle course and before the adults, a costume contest will take place at 1:30 p.m. before the muddy and sloppy carnage.

Following the obstacle course races, there will be an after party at the beach where both participants and visitors can listen to music, grab a snack at the Cabana Beach Bar or talk about their muddy and sloppy experience.

“When we’re kids, it’s easy to get dirty, but as adults, we don’t really get that opportunity anymore,” Peters said. “This is one of those events that you can pull out your inner child — get dirty, get muddy and do something you wouldn’t normally do.”

Registrants must be 15 or older. Anyone under 18 must have their parent or guardian present on race day to sign a waiver.

Registration costs $41 for adults and $15 for kids.

The last day of registration is Sept. 17. If the waves don’t exceed 150 people, there will be race day registrations. However, that doesn’t guarantee a T-shirt.

For more information, to register or to volunteer, visit rockeateradventurerace.com.

Bizarre world of politics

.S. Politics is one of the biggest money businesses in the world.

In so many ways the process to gain political influence has no boundaries.

As citizens of this great democracy we would like to think those involved in the business of politics would look beyond petty skirmishes and foolish statements, but that, perhaps, would be expecting too much from those in control of our government and those who seek control over our government.

In the current political climate the race for the highest office in the land seems mired in contradictions. Both party’s leading candidates are doing things that would have been unimaginable in prior elections.

In the past a candidate wouldn’t think of insulting a voting block like the Hispanic population, yet the leading Republican candidate repeatedly does just that.

A candidate would never rope themselves away from the press and refuse to answer questions leaving the talking heads to present their own version of the issue and chip away at the candidate’s credibility, yet the leading Democrat has.

A candidate would never show their face in public if more than 70 percent of the public thought the best one word description for them was “liar” and the second best description was “distrustful”.

When President Obama was elected he was described as a very likeable person. So who would vote for a candidate best described as “arrogant” or “blowhard”?

The election is likely to be a referendum on the current state of the American political system. The simple fact that these candidates are still in the race is amazing alone, but to be leading the race clearly shows the nation is hungry for, not just new leadership, but a very different type of leader.

The American electorate is tired of politicians who promise to serve and address the nation’s issues only to end up being more interested in themselves, their party and their own legacy.

Childish behavior has no place in American politics nor in a serious society that seeks to uplift its people and encourage increased participation.

Risks outweigh rewards in oil tanker storage plan A

s if thousands of oil tankers clattering through the North Country wasn’t enough, movement is underway to store them here, too.

A local railway has recently revealed their proposal to shore up their sagging business model: Indefinitely store a fleet of decommissioned oil tanker cars on the tracks between Newcomb and Saratoga Springs.

That’s the pitch Saratoga & North Creek Railway President Ed Ellis made to the Warren County Board of Supervisors earlier this summer.

Packing the lines with some 500 cars would help the struggling company turn a profit, Ellis told lawmakers. Perhaps even seven figures, a much-needed injection of capital as the company attempts to shore up their struggling tourist transit line.

The concept would actually be darkly humorous if the company, which is part of Iowa Pacific Holdings, wasn’t so earnest about carrying it out.

Oil traffic is already a hot-button issue as fleets continue to ship their payload from North Dakota to downstate refineries.

They do so through some of the most fragile terrain in the country, including on tracks located just feet from Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Boreas and Opalescent rivers.

While first responders and emergency service agencies continue to receive disaster training, all readily admit that a spill would be catastrophic for the region, perhaps even irreversible.

What’s more, the dangers posed by this uptick in train traffic is one of the few issues upon which the diverse crew of stakeholders across the Adirondack Park actually agree, which makes the railway’s plan to create a toxic waste graveyard that much more bizarre.

The proposal also contradicts the state’s vision for the region.

If the plan comes into fruition, these cars, which do not meet current safety standards, will be stored near the tracts of newly acquired state land that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly flagged as a hotspot for economic development and increased tourism opportunities.

Not so fast, argues the railway.

The arrangement would be a temporary one as they examine how to update the tankers, some 500 of them, to meet bolstered safety standards. After that, the tankers would be spirited off the tracks and back into service.

But there are too many unanswered questions: How much residual oil will be left in the trains?

Will they be inspected prior to arriving at their destination or afterwards?

How many cars will eventually be stored?

Will the strategy spread to neighboring counties?

Will local municipalities be compensated for the risk?

Will it set a precedent for the storage of additional hazardous materials within the Adirondack Park?

Furthermore, the wheels of government move slowly, especially at the federal level, and we have no reason to believe a temporary arrangement wouldn’t take on more permanent tones, especially if the bottom continues to fall out of the oil-by-rail market.

In fact, the tanker storage trend shows no sign of abating as shipments of crude continue to slow in the wake of newly-completed pipelines.

Last month, Iowa Pacific Holdings told Reuters that they predict 50,000 cars will come off the tracks as the new rules are phased in.

While it seems that simply turning these cars into scrap would be the most sensible option, analysts have said it’s an unlikely scenario considering the unpredictability of global energy trends. Companies have little to lose by simply hanging onto them and hoping for a reversal.

Maybe they’ll leak oil, maybe they won’t. But no amount of reassurances and safeguards will negate the fact that creating a repository of tankers is anathema to the Adirondack Park’s identity as a global leader in environmental sustainability.

We respect the fact that the company is in a tough spot. We hate to see local businesses suffering. But aside from tossing the subsidiary of a out-of-state company a temporary lifeline, we see no broader benefits coming from such an arrangement, only risks.

Last week, the Warren County Board of Supervisors tasked their attorney with researching their options, while the Department of Conservation and the Adirondack Park Agency look into the permitting process.

We encourage our elected state and local officials to sound off against this arrangement, that is, unless they want to be in the tanker storage business.

Such an agreement would only be within the best interests of one group.

And that, we feel, violates the spirit of the Adirondack Park.

Consequences to raising minimum wage To the Editor: There are serious social consequences to a mandated high minimum wage that proponents need to consider other than as just a temporary band-aid fix to the issue of living wage inequality -- whether perceived or real.

As minimum wage battles rage between employees: “A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats” and “Thank You for Courageous Stand on Minimum Wage”; and employers: “The Other Side of Minimum Wage”, keep in mind that there is a whole new generation of “smart” robots in the works just waiting to replace expensive employees. Before smart robot technology, labor could essentially dictate wage demands because companies had few viable alternatives to stay in business. But, now, powerful smart robots are shifting the balance of power.

Think: driverless cars, drones and robotic food servers.

Look at how even early-generation “dumb” robots have transformed business� When employee labor costs became unsustainable because of high union wage and benefit demands, automobile manufacturers replaced employees with mechanical robots to the extent that the newest plants essentially build far better cars far more efficiently than early plants -- with far less labor� And so it has been for every other business that needed to control labor costs.

Likewise, when employee labor costs become unsustainable because of high minimum wage demands, do high minimum wage proponents expect businesses to just role over and absorb the new employee overhead costs? You can “bet the farm” that smart robot technology will be used to replace employees – and sooner than you think� Automation has been going on for decades. Early “dumb” robots mainly replaced repetitive assembly line tasks. The difference, however, is that today’s “smart” robots can replace individual employees doing individual tasks that involve decision-making. It’s entirely within the capability of smart robots to do the work of most employees. Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal put the number at 50 percent. I would guess 80 to 90 percent� With a $15 dollar minimum wage looming, it’s very reasonable to expect to see the first completely automated employee-free fast food businesses in only a few years -- at the most� Will it be McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken or, some startup newcomer?

Closer to home (Plattsburgh): How about the first fully automated newspaper? Denpubs, perhaps? With satellite communications, cloud-storage data bases, drones and driverless cars who needs reporters and support staff when smart technology can do all these things? (Not at all a bad idea, Dan�) I don’t want to appear heartless, because I’m not, and just let employees displaced by smart technology fend for themselves -- which is essentially what happens after unemployment insurance benefits run out. Personally, I’ve been on both sides of the fence and understand how hard it is to earn a living in contemporary U.S. Society WHETHER AS AN EMPLOYEE OR AS AN EMPLOYER. As I have stated frequently in letters to this newspaper, I firmly stand by my assertion that it is not the job of American businesses to provide living wage jobs for employees. Mismanagement by government at all levels, of the effects of new smart technologies upon sustainable creation of living wage jobs is causing a serious social problem. It is the Federal government’s job to fix the problems that IT caused, not business caused.

But, that’s the subject of another letter� David Safrany Half Moon Bay, CA

Thank You from the Eric Loiselle family To the Editor: Thank you will never say enough to everyone who participated in the Highway Dedication in honor of Sergeant Eric P. Loiselle in Olmstedville on Sunday, August 30, 2015. What a beautiful and memorable ceremony� A special Thank You to Sheriff Richard Cutting and the Essex County Officers for put-

ting together such a beautiful tribute; Senator Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec for your kind words; Bailey Margaret Williams for a wonderful singing of the National Anthem; Pastor Chad Hanneman for your prayers and support; the Plattsburgh Police Pipe and Drum Corp for the beautiful music; Wayne Williams and Edward Donley for playing Taps, the Patriot Riders for such an impressive flag presence; the Town of Minerva for helping in the planning of this event; NYS Police and Warren County Sheriffs for your participation; Minerva Service Organization for all your help with the dessert refreshments; Minerva First Responders; Mike Corey for being our photographer; Honored Guests and all attendees who took time from a beautiful Sunday afternoon to make the day special and offer your support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Enough is enough To the Editor: On August 25, the Town Board of Ticonderoga passed Resolution #2732015 to hold an advisory referendum asking “Should the storage building at the Ticonderoga Armory be converted for use for the Ticonderoga Police Department?” Later in the week the Town Supervisor received a letter from Commissioner RoAnn M. Destito of the NYS Office of General Services (OGS) stating that “police activity, including the departure of police vehicles on emergency calls on such a small parcel, in our view are inconsistent with the current use and would violate the deed covenant.” Commissioner Destito concluded that the OGS has “determined that the plan may not proceed as described.”

To persist in holding an advisory referendum in view of the OGS determination makes no sense. It’s time to put the Armory issue to bed and begin serious, practical study of viable options for relocating the Ticonderoga Police Department. The current process has been a waste of time, energy, and money.

Whether you are a parent or grandparent of children participating programs at the Armory, or the child or grandchild of seniors utilizing the property, the Police Department proposal has been unviable from the start. It’s a shame that it took a determination from the OGS to put the brakes on a move that made no sense from the beginning.

I look forward to the Town Board rescinding Resolution #273-2015 for an advisory referendum and moving forward with examining practical alternatives for a desperately needed police department building.

Exciting news at Ti High To the Editor: The Ticonderoga Central School District is committed to providing every student in our school community with all the tools they need to succeed, including providing nutritious meals that everyone can enjoy together. That is why we are excited to announce that we have qualified for the Community Eligibility Provision of the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program, which means that we are able to offer school breakfast and lunch to all students at no charge. All children enrolled in our school can eat free and there is no application required.

We are writing to share this exciting news with you and to ask that you help ensure our meal program is a success by having your child participate in school breakfast and lunch every single day.

We believe participation in the school breakfast and lunch program is important for a couple of reasons. First, we will be able to offer nutritious meals and teach the students the importance about making healthy choices when it comes to their diet. Secondly, participating in breakfast and lunch gives the students the tools to concentrate better, learn more, and saves you time and money at home.

Because we received confirmation of this grant after our school calendars went to print, the application for free and reduced breakfast and lunch was included in the mailing. Please disregard that paperwork as these forms are no longer required.

I hope you will join us and the school community in supporting this great new program by participating in the breakfast and lunch program. Please feel free to contact the school with any questions or special dietary needs.

Get me out of Dodge To the Editor: I have been here seven years designing and building Rustic furniture. I go to auctions and sales. My store is full, every inch with furniture, collectibles and art. I have the best spot in the center of town, with the best landlords possible. They have truly earned a place in heaven for their kindness. I feel guilty coming into my store, I could never pay all the rent I owe. They know my store is dead. In seven years with all the talk of revitalization not one of the self righteous Pompous and Pius leaders have not been in my store, just to be aware of what I do. I don’t know if they should be called Pompous and Pius or Ponchos Pilot. I have over $20,000 in inventory, I want out just half of that I’ll leave the music and coffee pot on and I’ll be gone. They say I can’t leave, I’m the anchor, the anchor is on the bottom of the lake. I do love the community and the people, but that does not pay the bills.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Defunct words Gordie Little

Columnist

T

he older I get, the more I realize how many words I grew up with, are no longer in the everyday lexicon. If you take a moment between sips, you will no doubt come up with many names for coffee you haven’t heard in years. Try it: java, joe, mud, brew, battery acid, brain juice, high test and bean juice.

Here’s another word you might not remember: wattle.

I mentioned it to my friend Les, asking him to use it in a sentence. His response?

“Wattle you come up with next?”

Laura is a former neighbor living in Franklin County. I spotted a photo of a marvelous fence construction in her yard a while ago. It appears to be an eight-foot-diameter circle of twigs woven between and around sixteen upright poles. She referred to it as a wattle and seeing the word in print caused me to laugh out loud or LOL, as they say in text talk.

How this young woman became familiar with such an ancient term is beyond me. My late mother had wattles all over the place. We had woven wattle baskets, wattle furniture and fences. We knew people who built wattle and daub chicken coops.

What ever happened to that perfectly good word?

We often called it “twig work.” Our son Bruce worked constructing a fabulous home in Connecticut years ago. He is a twig work expert and built fabulous things at that location. One of the exterior stairways to the second floor was made cleverly inside a huge hollowed tree.

I interviewed a business woman in the High Peaks and admired the twig work railings along the steps and deck to her home. She did all the work herself.

I have likewise seen beautiful wattle artwork. Twig and branch weaving is a great craft. There are so many things that can be used for wattle. A good one is bamboo, especially for weaving a privacy fence. I think we had a wattle bird cage when we lived in Massena Center.

Sadly, I awoke one morning to find a smiling cat and only feathers inside the wattle.

Bye bye, birdie.

Hundreds of years ago, willow was the most popular material for wattle fences. It often took root and sustained itself over time. My mother always had a supply of withies stacked at the back of the shed to make wattle fences for her garden. Oh, yeah, “withy,” is another word you might not recall. Withies are the flexible branches use for weaving wattles.

By the way, the wattle under a turkey’s chin is completely different.

White Pine Camp is an Adirondack Great Camp on Osgood Pond. It served as the Summer White House for US President Calvin Coolidge from July 7 through Sept. 18, 1926.

Adirondack Great Camps like White Pine Camp are grand and fanciful log mansions, built in the latter half of the 19th century along the rugged lake shores or mountain sides of upstate New York.

It was a time when cities were expanding and the natural world seemed too far away. The foremost families of the era — including the Coolidges — needed an escape, and suddenly found they had a yearning for wooded retreats of great but rustic comfort.

Wednesday tours are offered at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at White Pine Camp from June 17 to Sept. 30.

Destination Downtown returns for another Sunday

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — A variety of music and interesting shopping opportunities will be returning to downtown Plattsburgh on a Sunday afternoon.

Destination Downtown will take place Sept. 13 from noon to 3 p.m. for residents and visitors to enjoy downtown businesses on a Sunday.

“The combination of history, access to the river and lake, a new Saranac River Walk, a tree house, bike trails, a new marina and the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail have all attracted a growing number of visitors to the downtown core of the City of Plattsburgh,” said Colin Read, co-president of the Plattsburgh Downtown Association. “Downtown merchants, through the Plattsburgh Downtown Association, realize that visitors want to enjoy Plattsburgh every day but especially on Saturdays and Sundays.

“The PDA is determined to encourage more shop owners to make the sound long term decision to open Sundays during the summer so that we can create a new culture of Sunday tourism for Plattsburgh and this Destination Downtown event is our effort to raise awareness about the possibilities over the entire weekend of the city.”

This event started this year on May 17 by PDA, with suggestion from Jennifer Boyer of Warren Tire, in order to get businesses rolling and residents and visitors in the downtown area.

On this day, approximately 30 businesses opened their doors that Sunday afternoon to achieve two goals: build awareness for residents and visitors on what’s going on down-

town and encourage more businesses to consider remaining open on Sundays.

“We want people to think about shopping locally,” Boyer said in a previous interview.

“We feel it’s important to support the downtown location even if you’re not normally open on Sundays.”

This year, so far, there will be over 20 businesses participating in this event on various streets in downtown Plattsburgh.

BRIDGE STREET TRENDS North Country Co-op will be offering free samples of its products, while Kinetic running will be offering 25 percent off of select items in the store.

DressCode is normally open on Sundays.

Julie Woodly, owner of DressCode, believes other businesses should be too.

“It’s a really great day to bring in business because everybody’s off,” said Woodly in a previous interview.

BRINKERHOFF STREET STOPS Loreman’s will be participating in this event along with Bagel Pit, who will be offering free coffee with bagel purchase, Stoneworks Massage & Skincare, who will be offering five minute chair massages, and Mid-Century Mad Vintage Variety, who will be having a 50 percent off sidewalk sale.

Strand Center for the Arts, whose mission is to help spread and promote art and culture throughout the North Country, will be showing a free movie screening of “Babe.”

“The Strand Center for the Arts, we feel, is anchored downtown,” said Joshua Kretser,”

BLANK for the SCA, in a previous interview.

“This is an amazing collaboration between downtown businesses to help attract more people to downtown.”

CITY HALL PLACES Along with Delish offering 10 percent off of their menu, Cache Elegant — a store that sells a variety of products, including accessories, apparel, gifts and more - will offer 10 percent off any item over $10 (excluding artisans and vendors).

Champlain Wine Company will be offering free oil and vinegar tasting and 20 percent off wine by the glass or bottle. Read, who’s always open on Sundays, said a lot of his customers go in saying how little there is open on Sunday.

“We want to show that it is a worthwhile effort to try to get more businesses open on a Sunday,” Read said. “We hope to get more traffic for them and get them more exposure.”

FIVE MORE STREETS Maui North Ski, Bike and Board will be offering hands-on fun. During this events, guests can participate in one of the many demos, including how to fix a flat on a bike and how to ride bikes efficiently.

Also guests will be able to test-ride the bikes and return for a big blow out sale of last year’s snow inventory and more.

“We’re trying to make it fun and hands-on for people,” said Kim Manion, co-owner of Maui North Ski, Bike and Board. “We’re trying to embrace downtown.”

Rescued Treasures on Clinton Street, who’s normally open six days a week, will be open seven days that week - a thrift store run to as-

sist the Elmore SPCA in Peru.

“It’s an unique assortment of merchandise,” volunteer Lyndia Livingstone said. “There’s something for everyone.”

Smooth Moves owner Joe Kovacs, who’s also part of PDA and First Weekends, said in a previous interview he “will support any event that happens down in Plattsburgh.”

Other businesses participating include Olive Ridley’s, Plattsburgh City Marina, A Beautiful Mess, Cornerstone Bookshop, Music Shop and others.

MORE THAN BUSINESSES In addition to the discounts and free items offered at these various shops, there will also be a number of entertainment events throughout the afternoon at various downtown locations.

With presentation of a commemorative Battle of Plattsburgh button, participants can visit the Kent Delord Museum, the Battle of Plattsburgh Museum and the Clinton County Historical Association Museum.

Other Battle of Plattsburgh events will be happening as well.

“Our goal is to show people and businesses that opening up on a Sunday can be a viable thing to do, especially in the summertime,” Read said. “If we could just have more shops open on Sundays, downtown will be more attractive, and if it does become more attractive, the shops will be glad they opened on Sundays.”

Participants can pick up and drop off a Destination Downtown Passport and program at 30 City Community and Visitor’s Center (Champlain Wine Company) or at the Plattsburgh City Marina.

Strand Theatre restored to its former glory

By Teah Dowling

grand chandelier donated by Swarovski Crystal and a 1924 Wurlitzer Opus 970 organ donated by Leonard and Louise Johnson.

“It was our duty to restore, as close as possible, the theater to its original state in 1924,” Kretser said. “To experience the restoration is amazing.”

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — The Strand Center for the Arts will host the grand reopening of the restored Strand Theatre Saturday, Sept. 26.

The main performance WELL-STRUNG, The Singing String Quartet, features classical musicians who sing their own spin on the music of artists such as Mozart, Ravel, Beethoven, Taylor Swift, Green Day, Katy Perry and more.

This reopening will mark the beginning of the first season, which will feature three to four movies a week ranging in genre along with a variety of theatrical performances.

“We’ve realized that with the near completion of the Strand Theatre that we have an enormous responsibility to the community,” said Joshua Kretser, executive director of SCA. “There’s a large population of the community that really haven’t been exposed to different types of performances.

“So, we want in our first season to have a nice cross section of different performing arts so that we can see what the community responds well to.”

REBRANDING CHANGES Prior to the performance, the Boire Benner Group will unveil the new look and feel of the SCA with a short interactive mixed media rebranding presentation.

Boire Benner Group is a Plattsburgh-based marketing and design firm who has been working on a comprehensive rebranding for the SCA and the Strand Theatre.

“Boire Benner Group shares many of the same visions with the Strand Center based around uniting our community, empowering people and promoting a love for the arts,” said Aaron Benner, who’s part of the group, in a statement. “We’re excited about the reopening of the Strand Theatre and its future as a meeting place for this community and we’re honored to partner with them for their rebranding.”

During this presentation, they’ll unveil a new website and logo to lift the confusions SCA has encountered by community members over the years when they changed their name from the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts to the Strand Center for the Arts.

The Strand Center for the Arts tried its best to restore the theater back to its former glory in 1924 when it was originally built as a Vaudeville Theatre.

THEATER CHANGES The last step toward restoration that started in the beginning of summer included lighting, sound and rigging equipment and other technical infrastructures needed to attract and host premiere performances.

The backstage area, which has a lot of fly space, was renovated so that the theater can have theatrical performances with set pieces of all sizes.

Before that, the Strand Theatre received a new roof, electrical wiring, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, sprinkler systems, seats and auditorium, along with HD cinema equipment, including surround sound, HD digital projector and screen that fits the entire perineum of the stage.

The Strand Theatre also has all new dressing rooms in the basement, two lifts to make the building ADA compliant a

STRAND HISTORY The Strand Theatre was originally built as a Vaudeville Theatre in 1924.

Soon after it was built, Vaudeville slowly started to become a dying art and the theater changed hands a number of times.

Owners of the theater tried to sustain the performing arts, but it soon became a movie house and went through a few different reincarnations as movie houses until SCA purchased it.

Although SCA, known during that time as the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, purchased the Strand Center Theatre in 2004, they didn’t start restoring it until 2007 due to fundraising.

“Our goal was to do this for the community as debt-free as possible,” said Leigh Mundy, secretary of the board for SCA, in a previous interview. “That’s why it’s taken such a long time.”

IN DEBT SCA has spent around $4 million on the restoration and they’re about $400,000 in debt. Approximately half of the funds came from natural preservation funds and the other half from the community.

“This project would not have been possible without the community,” Kretser said. “It truly is the communities theater.”

Tickets range in price by $25 to $45 depending on seat locations. Tickets purchased prior to the day of the performance

by SCA members, seniors, military and students will receive a discount of $5 per ticket.

Ellen’s Rebellion to host Night to Remember

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Night to Remember will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Green Room.

The night will include a Chinese auction, 50/50 raffle, music, games, giveaways and light refreshments. The auction and raffle will feature gift baskets and cards donated by local businesses or made by community members.

Ellen’s Rebellion — comprised of sisters Laura Cronk and Sarah Cronk-Duquette — hopes to raise $1,500 from the event to support the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center.

“This is our third year doing it,” Cronk said. “We just wanted to figure out different ways of raising awareness and raising funds to be donated.”

“Dementia is a disease not often talked about - at least not until someone you know and love is diagnosed,” Cronk-Duquette added. “If and when the day comes, people will need a place like the ADAC to provide assistance and direction on how to handle the disease.

“The Night to Remember is just one way in which people can give a donation that will go directly to the ADAC, which will help keep them as a community resource for those with dementia and their caregivers.”

L-R: Sarah Cronk-Duquette, Ellen’s sister Cathy Alden and Laura Cronk all participated in raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center at the previous Night to Remember.

ELLEN’S REBELLION Ellen’s Rebellion formed after Cronk and Cronk-Duquette’s mother was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia in May 2011.

Since that time, the sister duo have been raising money for

the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center located at SUNY Plattsburgh since their mother goes to the Third Age Adult Daycare Center.

“We went to them when we noticed our mom having some cognitive issues and there she was diagnosed with dementia,” Cronk-Duquette said. “Now, we use their services everyday for mom to go to the Third Age Adult Daycare Center Monday through Friday.

“They not only give my mom a place to go during the week to get out of the house, but it also allows our father, her primary caregiver, some time on his own.”

Their goal is to raise up to $10,000, compared to the $9,100 they made last year, by the end of September when the Alzheimer’s Walk takes place. So far, they’ve raised $7,200 and these funds raised will stay in the community to support programs and services the center offers.

For more information, visit the Facebook page “Ellen’s Rebellion.” If anyone is unable to attend the event but still want to donate, visit firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ellensrebellion2014/2015.

“Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease effects so many people and people just don’t talk about it,” Cronk said. “This is our way to raise awareness, raise funds and help as many people as we possibly can.”

Sam’s Club to add gas pumps in Consumer Square

By Willie Santana

news@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Sam’s Club has gone through the early stages of getting six gas pumps approved by the Town of Plattsburgh‘s Planning Board.

This proposal has been in the making for a couple of years as the applicant has been running a series of tests to judge on how adding six gas pumps to the Consumer Square shopping complex will affect parking and overall traffic.

The pumps will be placed in the parking lot behind Buffalo Wild Wings, Chipotle, GNC and Sweet Frog.

Each pump will have two nozzles. A canopy will cover the

pumps. There will also be a kiosk for payment.

Head of the Planning Department Philip Bargen said the project presents unique challenges and opportunities because of the popularity of the shopping center.

“One thing that is certain of the Consumer Square shopping center is it’s akin to thinking of land development as a city block,” he said. “It’s our first real urban layout plan and it’s probably the busiest commercial site in the Town of Plattsburgh.”

Bargen said the next step is a detailed planned review. He said there will be a public hearing that will be followed by the planning board making its final decision of approving, rejecting or modifying the claim.

As far as addressing some of the concerns that come with

the project such as parking spaces and traffic, Bargen said the applicant estimated that 86 parking spaces will be eliminated and believes the increased traffic will only occur within the mall.

“The belief is most of the traffic is internal,” he said. “Traffic will be already there with the people that are already shopping.”

In addition to the parking spaces, Bargen said there have also been talks of extending the sidewalk at the end of the Sam’s Club building to add a connection to the apartments nearby.

Walmart and Sam’s Club officials could not be contacted in time for publication. Discussions will continue at the next planning board meeting Oct. 20.

Rough Francis to bring raw sound to E’town

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Rough Francis plays loud and dangerous rock and roll, unsafe music that should inspire action and ideas, says the band’s frontman.

“Something that keeps you on the edge of your seat,” said Bobby Hackney Jr. The Burlington-based outfit boasts a variety of influences. Their sound is like a roadmap that traces out American rock history beginning with the Motown scene. They’ve melded those influences with late-1960s proto-punk troublemakers like the Stooges and MC5 alongside elements of Burlington’s hardcore heyday in the late-1980s.

The result is jittery and unhinged, but also laced with streaks of soul.

“It’s primal rock and roll,” said Hackney, the band’s vocalist.

The quintet is slated to perform this Saturday at the Otis Mountain Get Down in Elizabethtown, a festival gig that comes at the end of a flurry of summertime activity for the outfit, including shows up and down the east coast and recording sessions for a new LP. It’s impossible to discuss the band without mentioning one of rock and roll’s most compelling tales, a family saga that is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring.

In the early 1970s, three brothers started a band in Detroit, quickly taking up the brand of turbocharged rock and roll proffered by local Motor City acts — including, you guessed it, the Stooges and MC5.

They called themselves Death.

Industry heads took notice, but a major label deal disintegrated when the trio refused to change their name to something more marketable.

That was the beginning of the end for Death. The Hackney Brothers relocated to Burlington, released a gospel-tinged record under a different name and eventually moved on with their lives, raising families and performing with reggae outfits on the regional circuit.

Bobby Hackney had three sons, Julian, Urian and Bobby Jr. As his kids started getting into hardcore and skateboarding culture, Bobby Sr. told them he and his brother, Dannis, used to play the same type of music when they were younger (The third brother, David, passed away in 2000).

The younger Hackeys didn’t believe him.

But in 2008, they discovered some old Death recordings online, their wicks kept alive by obscure record collectors, and were blown away: Death was punk before the term even existed. Their dad and uncles were punk rock progenitors. And very few people even knew about this long-forgotten strand of music history.

Armed with a 1974 demo plucked from their dad’s attic, the younger Hackneys helped drum up interest. Drag City issued the recordings in 2009. That release, paired with a critically-

acclaimed 2012 documentary, “A Band Called Death,” has led to a full-scale revival.

Hackey admits that it can often be tough escaping from under his famous family’s shadow.

“It’s kind of weird situation,” he said.

In certain circles, people don’t know about Rough Francis’ background and story. In others, people know who they are because of the family connection. And still others find about Death by way of Rough Francis themselves, explained Hackney.

“That sweetens the deal for fans,” he said. “They like us even more because we’re related to them.”

All in all, the ride has been awesome, said the singer.

Saturday marks their first time appearing the Otis Mountain Get Down, which is now in its third year.

“We’re really excited they wanted us to play,” said Hackney.

Burlington-based punk outfit Rough Francis are scheduled to perform at the Otis Mountain Get Down in Elizabethtown on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 10:30 p.m.

It didn’t evolve to that point until they attended SUNY Plattsburgh.

“The Gibson Brothers have a special relationship to SUNY Plattsburgh,” said Stephen Light, associate vice president for academic affairs at SUNY Plattsburgh, in a previous interview. “They’re kind of our favorite sons and they’re very successful alums of SUNY Plattsburgh.”

Eventually, the brothers decided to form a band and that band recorded their first album “Underneath a Harvest Moon” in 1994 and signed a contract with Hay Holler Records a year later.

Culvert project ensures sustainable fish habitats

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH ELBA — Imagine hanging out at your local watering hole.

It’s 75 degrees, but the mercury keeps rising: 80, 85, 90.

Before long, you’re cooking and just need to find some shade. The water isn’t even that deep, anyway, and instinct tells you that you can probably find a better spot elsewhere — perhaps upstream.

But it’s an uphill climb. The path is littered with obstacles and debris. When you finally reach your destination, you’re all banged up. Perhaps you never made it at all and sizzle to death in your watery prison.

Welcome to the life of a brook trout in the era of climate change.

As summer reaches its scorching apex, the Nature Conservancy: Adirondack Chapter is nearing the end of work on an innovative new culvert replacement project. It’s a part of larger initiative in New York’s Champlain Basin to not only improve fish habitat, but also community resilience to flooding and stream connectivity.

The effort, a partnership with a plethora of state, local and federal agencies, covers two projects in North Elba and one in Wilmington.

Last week, work was completed on the culvert spanning Roaring Brook on River Road in North Elba.

What was once a claustrophobic culvert containing duel six-foot pipes is now a handsome bridge-type structure that spans 35 feet.

It’s a veritable salmon superhighway, explained the Nature Conservancy’s Michelle Brown, allowing fish to navigate their way up the Ausable River with few hurdles. With this project, six additional miles have been opened up.

The passage, designed by the US Fish & Wildlife Service, seeks to create an environment as close to natural flooring as possible, even during low-flow conditions.

The Ausable gets hot in the summer.

Estimates indicate that in the Lake Champlain Basin, air temperatures are expected to increase up to 11 degrees. At present, water temperatures in segments of the river are, on average, warmer than tolerable for brook trout for 30 days each year.

As such, the trout swim upstream in the hunt for cold water refugia, where the shady, canopy-lined tributaries provide an oxygenated refuge.

The new culvert, about 45 percent of which was funded by TNC grants (the rest comes from Essex County), also serves a practical purpose: the makeover reduces flood risk. The River Road culvert, in particular, has been particularly problematic over the years.

“It’ll make our lives 100 percent easier,” said Essex County Department of Public Works Director Chris Garrow.

Just that site has cost the county nearly $59,000 between 2003-13.

What typically happens with undersized culverts, Garrow explained, is that they buckle under heavy rains: the water needs to go somewhere, which is often onto the road. Banks erode.

And once the culvert gets taken, the road collapses.

Even the structures that don’t buckle experience scour, or the removal of sediment over time due to swiftly moving water.

“It’s crazy,” said Garrow. “The water finds the path of least resistance and it takes it out.”

After the damage comes the paperwork. Lots of it.

Intense storms are more frequent than they there were several years ago.

“The projections now are that that trend will continue,” said Brown. “Climate change is hard to get your head around, but something like this is just so tangible.”

New York is home to over 1 million culverts that connect thousands of stream segments.

Does Brown see the concept gaining traction elsewhere?

The response has been favorable from local municipalities, she said. The restraints are mostly budgetary.

The River Road project, alongside another at Holcomb Brook just up River Road, will serve as demonstration projects. Videos will be produced and taken to transportation conferences around the country as stakeholders seek to explore the intersection between roads and nature.

Hopefully they will stimulate discussion in communities facing similar problems and the partners can hash out a financial model.

“We would love to see more of these types of culverts and move similar projects forward,” said Brown. “The key is figuring out how to make it happen.”

Garrow said he was thrilled about the results.

“These are two huge projects we got off our plate.”

An innovative new culvert replacement project is rehabbing several problem culverts in Essex County. Prone to flooding, the new structures reduce the risk of flooding while also offering fish easier passage to upstream areas. Pictured here is the new culvert over River Road in North Elba. Work on the Holcomb Brook project is scheduled to be completed in late-October. A third project is also underway in Wilmington.

Canadian historian to speak at Kent-Delord House PLATTSBURGH — Noted Canadian military historian Donald Graves will be speaking at the Kent-Delord House at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12.

As part of the Battle of Plattsburgh Commemoration, Graves will deliver a presentation titled “The British Side of the Plattsburgh Campaign: New Aspects and New Eyewitnesses.”

It will cover some recent insights about the

British side of the campaign made during the course of research for his book, “AND ALL THEIR GLORY PAST: FORT ERIE, PLATTSBURGH AND THE LAST BATTLES IN THE NORTH.” He will also provide accounts from British eyewitnesses whose narratives are not well known.

Graves will speak in the carriage barn behind the house as the structure was standing

when British officers occupied the grounds and soldiers constructed batteries in close proximity.

Graves has been very active in the field of heritage preservation and has served as a consultant to the Niagara Parks Commission and the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, as well as smaller agencies. Between 1996 and 2001, he served as the lead heritage advisor on the preservation of the Chippawa battle-

field of the War of 1812 and has also been a historical consultant for a number of documentaries about the War of 1812.

Graves is the author or editor of nine books on the War of 1812.

Support for this presentation is the two anonymous donors and Price Chopper.

BOP hosts Junior Encampment, hands-on learning PLATTSBURGH — Want to learn how to make musket cartridges, make butter, candles, cooking? These activities plus more are going to be part of the Junior Encampment scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12 at the Kent-Delord House Museum.

Participants get the opportunity to ‘enlist’, dress in period clothes and then visit different stations that feature 19th Century crafts and trades.

The special part of this activity is the hands-on nature of all

the activities. One just doesn’t get to watch, but has the opportunity to jump right in and have some wonderful experience.

Based on the grounds of the Kent-Delord House, the Junior Encampment is right next to the re-enactors’ camps featuring many American and British soldiers plus sailors.

The Junior Encampment runs from 9 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. The two-hour break is for the parade and encampment participants are eligible to join this parade, which is the largest in Plattsburgh.

Admission is free and children of all ages can attend. No registration is necessary.

Support for the Junior Encampment comes from the Living History Education Foundation, Stewart’s Shops, the Plattsburgh Noon Kiwanis Club and the North Country Teacher Resource Center.

Despite losing six seniors from last season’s volleyball team, just as many will look to lead the Lady Cougars into 2015.

“Six players return with valuable experience and leadership qualities,” explained head coach Brent Banker, who added that last season was a challenging one in a deep and talented league.

Also looking up for Northeastern Clinton is that another half dozen players are moving up from a JV team that went 13-3 last season, giving Banker the goal of his squad matching the level of play of all the good teams in the league.

With seniors like Kelsy Kellison, Caitlyn McCoy, Dakota Morrison, Nisa Rabideau and Casey Frederick leading a crop of young talent, the goal may not be too lofty.

“Our strength is our potential,” Banker said. “This team has talented players at each position. We need to mesh as a team and play to our potential.”

The Cougars — and an especially healthy boys roster — are ready to run in 2015.

Though many of the boys harriers are in ninth grade, said head coach Darcy Castine, an additional core of returning runners should help the new varsity athletes adapt.

“Returning varsity athletes that are passionate about running help to bring the new varsity athletes and new running athletes up to their level,” Castine said.

After initially focusing on conditioning, Castine will then get runners up to speed for the fall season. On the boys side, Spencer Parsons, Gavin Martin, Gavin Racine and Ben Collins are among those to keep an eye on heading into the season.

In total, the boys roster goes 17 deep, while eight have signed on to run for the Lady Cougars. Although Castine mentioned several runners as showing promise, it doesn’t stop there.

“We hope to add more to this list before our first meet,” the coach added.

After a successful 2014 season, the Cougars will look to lean on a small group of returning starts and make another run at the Class C crown this fall.

Northeastern Clinton went 8-4 in league play a year ago and 11-5 overall, upending a talented Plattsburgh team in the sectional semifinals to secure a birth in the championship.

In the final, Beekmantown was just a bit too much, winning the title and eventually finishing state runner-up.

Though the Cougars would have wanted to call the title theirs, it was no loss to hang heads on — the Eagles were the eventual state runner-ups.

Head coach Dale Hawksby said that with only four returning starts from that squad, this year’s squad is a young one — but not certainly not lacking in talent.

“The players that have moved up from the JV team are coming together nicely,” Hawksby said. “They will have to adjust quickly at playing at a higher level in order for us to be a competitive team.”

But the Cougars certainly aren’t alone in replacing talent from 2014, and the coach has his sights set on not only taking the division, but another chance at the championship and moving on to the state playoffs.

A season ago, the Lady Cougars fell a goal short of a Section VII Class B championship with a 2-1 loss to Beekmantown.

Fast forward one year and 10 of the 11 starters from that 12-6, runner-up team are back for Northeastern Clinton.

Head coach Tim Surprenant said that this year’s team fields experience at every position, giving the Cougars a good shot at their goal of a regular season and sectional title.

Northeastern Clinton did have a few losses from last year in Darian Carey, Madison Beauchemin, Chelsey Menard and Kalie Sample, but there’s plenty of experience coming back.

Surprenant explained that senior leadership on the team is strong this fall. With 10 overall on the roster of 19, that should come as no surprise.

Emily Sample, a forward, and defender Madalyn Tucker are captains on this year’s squad.

Katie Matott, Sierra Gonyo and Abbie Sample are also players to watch in 2015.

For years, Northern Adirondack was a dominant volleyball force.

After two years of an upstart Lake Placid program taking the Class D title, the Lady Bobcats are looking to take it back.

Though Northern Adirondack will be without Taylor Pitts and Kayla DeCoste this season, the team returns six seniors ready to take on the task of competing season-long and going after the crown.

Head coach Elizabeth Brown said that seniors Aubrey Kerr, Taylair Garrand, Abigail Brown, Izabelle Almodovar, Chelsey Trombley and Alysha Warren will have their experience looked upon as they lead the younger players into and through the season.

Preseason work has focused on communication, Brown said, essential in the end goal of a championship win. The coach added that they’ll look to compete with all teams in the section, regardless of class.

The team’s season kicks off with a Sept. 8 home match against AuSable Valley, while previews of the eventual Class D title against Lake Placid are on Oct. 5 and Oct. 30.

The Eagles may have graduated a lot of talent from a 2014 team that made it to the state semifinals, but if there’s one thing for sure, Chazy has more coming down the pipeline.

After a tight, penalty kick-decided Section VII Class D title win against Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport, Chazy marched its way to Middletown, but a chance at a seventh state championship in just over a decade was dashed when International Prep won a 1-1 game in penalty kicks.

International Prep went on to win the state championship a day later.

It was just the second loss for the team that season. The first came much earlier, when Chazy fell in non-league play to Beekmantown, the state’s eventual Class B runner-up.

While many players from that team are gone — Derek Drake, Zach Brothers, Josh Barriere, Alex Duprey, Adam Knight, Eli Foley, Keagan O’Connor and Sam ChristiansonProvost — assistant coach John Tregan said a strength this year appears to be, once again, quality depth.

The season’s goal, he added, is to get back to the state final four. New players at key spots on the field will be key early on, but Tregan said that strength of schedule should serve the Eagles well as they try to build the experience needed to make yet another trip to Middletown.

One year ago, a senior-laden Lady Eagles team put together a stellar record on their way to claiming the Section VII Class D title with a 3-0 win over Minerva-Newcomb.

A chance at a run in the state playoffs was cut short too soon, however, after a 2-1 setback against Chateaugay in the Class D regional final.

With that in the past, a very different looking Chazy team will be taking the field this fall.

Kinnan Latremore, Rachel Pombrio, Hannah Laurin, Olivia Blais and Abbey Snide were just five of a whopping 11 seniors lost to graduation, leaving lots of shoes to fill for this year’s team.

Head coach Karin Sherman said a big goal this season is to get new players the key experience to adjust to the game and gel with the team.

Though already in place, she added, is “great leadership, very competitive and a lot of heart.”

As the team learns to click, look for Bailey Pepper, Hannah Hayes, Lilly Hayes and Lindsey Gilmore to lead the team into 2015.

Pepper and Hayes are both captains as well, as is returning goaltender Gwen LaPier.
