Why are candidates talking about more debt? Tony Award-winning piece comes to N. Creek

In debate, judge candidates spar over policy, experience

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Judge Richard Meyer, seeking to rattle his challenger, Brian Barrett, questioned his experience at a debate last week in Elizabethtown.

“Are you claiming you have more trial experience than me?” Meyer asked Barrett, citing a news report in which Barrett said the

best candidate for the job should be based on trial experience.

“In the 10 years I’ve been on the bench, I’ve had many, many trials — too many to court,” said Meyer, citing his decade spent on the job presiding over criminal, family and surrogate’s courts.

Before that, Meyer worked in private practice and as the county attorney. >> Story Continued | pg. 9

Local freshman preps to follow Olympic dream Dyani Bryant to spend winter on the luge track; hosting fundraiser Oct. 24

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — When many bemoan the changing of the leaves and falling temperatures, Dyani Bryant is ready to take to the track.

The tracks are located in North Elba, as well as Park City, Utah; and Calgary, Alberta.

That is because Bryant’s sport is luge, an event that requires one to slide down a bobsled track lying on their backs.

Bryant started in the sport as part of a slider’s search in Lake Placid.

“There were kids from all over the country,” Bryant said of her summer 2014 tryout.

“After the camp was over, I was asked if I was interested in going further.”

In January, she started going up to the Mt. Vanhoevenburg sliding track, where she would practice, leading to the Empire State Games, where she slid to a sixth place finish.

Her sliding career continued to progress with an invitation to join the D-Team, a junior development team.

“I was able to spend a week at the Olympic Training Center and is was very fun,” Bryant said. “From there, I went to a selection camp and made the junior candidate team.”

Starting in November and running through March, Bryant will be competing in races on the three North American tracks with other developmental sliders. >> Story Continued | pg. 11

Clerk debate exposes divide between experience, role of office

Ahead of next month’s election, candidates face off in Elizabethtown debate

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A debate between Essex County Clerk Joseph Provoncha and his challenger, Luke Hudak, exposed deep contrasts in how the two view the role of the office — As a government agency responsible for generating revenue or a streamlined operation with a limited scope.

Generating revenue is an important part of the office, said Provoncha.

The imposition of an additional tax on the mortgage tax allowed the county to bankroll a $6 million jail facility without raising the levy, said Provoncha, while an additional tax on the transfer tax is aiding the county as it pays off their recently completed $17 million digital radio system.

The office also contributes $750,000 to the county’s general fund.

“My department pays for itself,” Provoncha said.

Hudak argued that raising revenue has not historically been part of that office’s job.

“I don’t think it should be a choice or prerogative of the county clerk or that office to specifically raise funds from county or the taxpayers in that county,” said Hudak.

Hudak, a first-time candidate, said that the office should instead focus on being efficient with the money that does come in through mandated services.

“What can we do in this county to make our government more efficient to provide effective service and to improve the systems that already exist?” he said.

Provoncha, a Republican, has served for 24 years and has shepherded the office through the digitization of records, the installation of an indexing computer system and the launch of a satellite DMV office in Ticonderoga.

Under his leadership, he noted, the county became

the third in the state to implement the electronic filing of court proceedings; work is also underway to digitize deeds from as far back as 1799 and list them in a searchable database.

Hudak conceded Provoncha has done well at making records available to the public. But more work can always been done to guarantee transparency, he said.

And while the candidate also admitted that he doesn’t have the institutional knowledge of the incumbent, Hudak said he has been successful in the private sector at budgeting and management, citing three promotions in his decade spent in the workforce, one at each job.

At one point, Hudak directly asked Provoncha why the office has grown despite having a flat population since 1990.

Provoncha acknowledged that while the office has grown to 14 from 12 since he took office in 1992, the number will decrease — unfortunately, he added — as technology takes over.

The candidates also largely agreed on several points.

Both agreed that the state tax law is problematic — in response to a question from an audience member, Hudak said he couldn’t justify how a mortgage tax isn’t a tax on county residents, while Provoncha called the land tax “regressive” — and both

said the county will eventually have to implement elements of the SAFE Act that were originally supposed to be executed by the state.

Hudak, who is running as a Democrat, also noted that the clerk’s office will likely have to confront how the expected hike in minimum wage in New York will affect county departments and businesses.

“Even if it doesn’t affect government workers, it will have a major impact on the citizens of this county,” said Hudak.

Provoncha said the office has a long road ahead to save the DMV as the state pushes for people to procure documents online, a measure that carves the county out of the loop.

He pushed residents to renew their passports and licenses locally.

“Keep the county clerk’s office alive and well as we are there to serve you.”

Hudak said the election comes down to choice.

“Without sounding overly glib or overly cheesy, we’re also in here all Americans.

I think it’s really important when we go into the voter’s booth on Nov. 3, we have a choice on the ballot,” he said.

The debate, which was sponsored by Sun Community News on Thursday at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, came as voters prepare to head to the polls on Nov. 3.

Note to Planet Earth Ecological complexity

I

n general, we humans remain quite naïve regarding the potential outcomes of our large scale pollution of air, water and soil, and of our similarly large scale destruction of our forests and consumption of Earth’s resources. Nature is often much more complex then we give it credit for and our usual thinking about the relationships between different flora and fauna and their environment is often quite simplistic. A local example of this naiveté occurred several decades ago when a well-intentioned effort by resorts on Lake George to lengthen their profitable tourist season by simply treating the local streams with DDT to kill off the black flies led to the loss of much of the bass and lake trout fishing in that lake for the next several years.

When ecological systems in nature are examined in more detail the complexity revealed is often astounding. A recently published example of this is the study of what happened when large herbivores such as giraffes and elephants were excluded by fences from plots of acacia trees, their source of food. These “whistling-thorn trees” as they are called produce two types of thorns, a slender firm thorn and a hollow thorn.

Before these trees were fenced off from herbivores the hollow thorns served as housing and brood-raising cavities for three competing species of ants (labeled Cm, Cn & Tp). A fourth ant species (labeled Cs) competing for possession of these trees lived in cavities in the stems of these trees made by another insect, a long-horned beetle. These acacia trees also produce calorie-rich nectar from glands located at the base of their leaves. This nectar serves as the principle food for three of the four species of resident ants (Cm, Cn & Cs). The fourth resident ant species (Tp) feeds on pollen and fungal spores from the surfaces of the tree. These different ant species varied in their aggressiveness toward the large herbivores in the process of protecting their tree against browsing; the most aggressive ant being the Cm species. The Cn species, in contrast, had evolved the practice of pruning their acacia trees so as to limit its contact with nearby trees, thereby diminishing the possibility of any of the other ant species invading their tree. While the Tp species, which does not live off the nectar provided by the tree, evolved the practice of destroying the nectar-producing glands in their trees so as to make the tree much less attractive to the other three ant species.

Fencing off these trees from herbivores caused significant changes over the next ten years in both the ant populations and the trees. Aggressive responses by Cm ants to a disturbance of their trees became markedly reduced. Because the trees were no longer browsed by herbivores their production of nectar diminished as a result of their no longer needing to attract the ants to protect them from these herbivores. In response, the Cm ants were found to be tending sap-sucking scale insects much more frequently. Like aphids in this area, these scale insects provided nectar for the ants which care for them. The proportion of surviving trees harboring Cs ants increased more than 2-fold and the proportion of trees harboring Cm ants diminished by a third. Moreover, the trees harboring Cs ants grew much more slowly and died more often, primarily as a result of the increased activity of the longhorned beetle.

Making large scale changes in the habitats of our fellow organisms on this planet deserves a cautious approach lest we induce changes that have long-term negative consequences for ourselves.

We’re Broke!

I struggled listening to the first Democratic Presidential Debate last week.

Knowing the national debt now stands at $18.4 trillion dollars and growing, it’s hard to imagine how they could continue to discuss expanding free give away programs.

What’s even harder to understand is why audience was clapping when they proposed them.

It seems that too many of the candidates from both of the parties are racing to the extreme edges of their political beliefs in order to earn the nomination. Conventional wisdom in the past dictates they move back to the middle to win the election. I think that process is just one of the reasons why the electorate is so disgusted with politics today.

If they really want their candidates to be far left or far right then it’s understandable why they are so disappointed when their candidate fails to deliver once elected. The reality we must come to grips with is this nation can’t survive if it’s all far left or far right. The politicians recognize this once they are in office, but why do we as a people allow these foolish promises to swing public opinion so wildly, creating expectations when we know these promises are not always realistic?

Growing up it was my understanding that this nation was made up of self made, self motivated, free spirited people. It’s what made us unique and the envy of the world that we enjoyed the freedom to be anything we wanted to be.

So with a people who know what they want and are willing to go out and earn it on their own, why do we need the government to give us things that only serve to diminish our own personal drive?

Let’s take college for example. All the candidates on stage last week pushed the notion that free tuition for public college should be provided by the government.

I know many people who are skilled with their hands and are very happy with the lives they have made for themselves without the college degree.

There are many important trades that provide a valuable need in society but the sense of achievement from building a successful career and finding purpose in ones life can’t be purchased nor supplied by another.

Towns should explore hiring financial managers

I

t sounds like a caper.

Employees shuffling funds between accounts. Public funds being used as piggy banks. Sloppy payrolls, overextended accounts, vanished cash and misappropriated taxpayer money.

It’s not a movie script, but rather what goes on in the halls of your local government.

Sometimes.

Most towns in the North Country have been visited by auditors from the state comptroller’s office. For months, these agents pry up the stones and look for worms.

While some towns have proven to be in better financial shape than others, none of them are perfect.

We commend the state for keeping local governments on their toes and pushing them to implement better internal controls over their finances.

Despite the severity of some of these reports, most of these mistakes seem innocent enough: More often than not, the fiscal problems that arise in town halls across the state are due to negligence and, at worst, gross incompetence — not nefarious schemes.

But aside from the loss of taxpayer funds, the lingering clouds that follow audits are often worse: Vitriol. Whisper campaigns. Mistrust of town government.

It’s all poison in these small communities and it dissuades people from seeking office.

And it gets us to thinking that there must be a better way to do things.

While the buck stops with town supervisors, the elected officials who serve as chief financial officers, town clerks also play critical roles.

Let’s zoom out.

Clerks, who are elected by the public, are responsible for issuing licenses and permits. They post notices, file reports with county and state agencies and keep public records.

Those are their prescribed tasks.

In many cases, they have no formal training and have stepped up to the plate out of a sense of civic loyalty.

Some play double duty, acting as tax collectors.

We all wear many hats in the North Country and understand the need to multi-task.

But we also understand the flurry of paperwork that accompanies tax season, one that becomes a blizzard in this era of caps, rebate checks and increasingly confusing gimmicks from the state.

Paired with the already rickety situation in many of our local town offices, it’s no surprise that the nuts and bolts of everyday duties get lost in the mix — tasks like accounting for dump tickets and charging folks accurately for their water bills.

Despite the innocuousness of their errors, let’s be clear: This waste is unfair to taxpayers, even if the dollar amounts are relatively low.

Would you trust someone with no financial training to handle your investment portfolio?

Didn’t think so.

We shouldn’t expect anything less from our town officials.

Towns need to start thinking outside the box when it comes to financial planning.

We like the idea of a town manager.

Unlike tax collectors and clerks, who are elected, this would be an appoint-

ed position.

A quick pursual of town law seems to indicate that towns in New York have the ability to establish this office and anoint the officeholder with powers and responsibilities, including those transferred from other officials.

Let’s play with a hypothetical situation: Residents of Anywhere, Essex County opt to establish the position through a permissive referendum.

The board then hires a town manager, someone with a CFA, who then takes over budget-drafting and financial planning from the supervisor and some responsibilities from the clerk.

While both the clerk and supervisor will retain their duties, the majority of the wonky stuff can be left to the professional.

Meanwhile, the supervisor is freed up to tackle other issues, like county work, which they are obligated to do as members of the board of supervisors.

This system might help zap fiscal mismanagement as well as aid in longterm planning, including the navigation of sticky maelstroms like unfunded mandates and skyrocketing health insurance costs.

Removing town managers from elected politics may also ensure a sense of stability, particularly during administration changes, as well as insure them from nasty, small town skuttlebutt.

Another task for the town manager — Locating and applying for grants. The ability to do so is a skill that is becoming highly lucrative as local control is being sucked away in favor of depending on the state for what should be run-of-the-mill infrastructure improvements.

Grants are now critical spokes on the wheel of local governance, from repairing water filtration plants to providing services that, once sacrosanct, are now in jeopardy — youth programs, libraries, ambulance squads.

You name it, nothing is safe under the tax cap.

We admit that it seems impractical in this era of fiscal austerity for town boards to create a new position, especially one that comes with a salary and benefits.

But we can’t help but feel that a position will pay for itself over time in taxpayer money that wouldn’t be misspent.

We encourage town boards to at least discuss the idea.

On Common Ground fights suicide

No need proposed sales, property tax increases

To the Editor: On Common Ground is a bullying and suicide prevention program in Essex County. We have extensively researched and been trained in these two topics. We tour our original skit titled “A Change of Heart” throughout the area.

As much as we appreciated your recent article on suicide prevention awareness on Sept. 9, we have concerns regarding some of the language that was used. Specialists in the field of suicide prevention no longer use the phrase “committed suicide”, rather they use “died by suicide” indicating how a person died, not that an offense of some kind was committed.

Suicide is not a “deed”, as it was referred to in the article. A deed is usually something that is written on a to-do list that is crossed off when completed.

“Boast” is defined as “to talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about ones’ achievements”. High suicide rates are not an achievement and citizens should not feel pride toward something so tragic.

Again, your efforts are appreciated, and it’s great that individuals are becoming more aware of suicide prevention efforts. You may contact us at Moriah Central School if you would like further information.

To the Editor: Our local elected officials are proposing to demand of the State that the 2 percent tax cap be lifted and simultaneously considering an increase in the local sales tax. Without these tax increases they say they have no choice but to cut jobs and eliminate services. I say do not believe it.

The 2 percent tax cap is about fiscal discipline. In order to meet it, it requires a change in how our elected officials operate. This is what they really find difficult. Without additional taxes, they have trouble funding their system and the political machine. Without additional taxes, they would need to keep an eagle’s eye on expenses.

One just needs to read through the Warrensburg town board meeting minutes and see request after request for non-essential items approved and ask if this represents fiscal discipline. Look at the Town of Warrensburg’s practice of awarding contracts to sole bidders resulting in the town paying over $100,000 for a roof and windows and ask if this is a right way of doing things.

FOIL a few invoices at the County level and ask if paying over $700 for office chairs and $1400 for desks represents fiscal discipline. Look at the commissions paid out for a recent purchase of some IT equipment. A purchase that paid out thousands over retail for equipment that is obsolete in 2016 and ask if this is the right way of doing things.

When these practices stop, when we see a true change in how our elected officials operate I believe the tax cap and current sales tax levels would not be nearly the burden that our elected officials claim they are.

Essex Bed Tax Expansion, is it legal?

To the Editor: Essex County has gone ahead and expanded their bed tax to include essentially any rented property. I am not an attorney but common sense says there may be a legal issue regarding the expansion.

I live in Franklin County and have a seasonal rental property there.

Franklin County has been pursuing a bed tax for the first time and therefore I have been following the issue closely and done a good deal of research.

Franklin County also had intended to go after all rentals in their recently passed bill, but I pointed out at a public hearing that they had wording in their bill that excludes most private property rentals.

From what I have learned, in order for a local government to enact local tax legislation like this they must first get permission from the state legislature That legislation specifies what can be taxed. The local government is limited to the state passed legislation. The local government may not expand the definition beyond what is allowed by the state.

In the case of Essex County that state legislation says: “For the purposes of this section, the term “hotel” or “motel” shall mean and include any facility providing lodging on an overnight basis and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as “bed and breakfast” and “tourist” facilities.”

On the other hand the recently passed Essex County legislation says: “Any facility providing lodging on an overnight basis and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as, bed and breakfast, inns, cabins, condominiums, cottages, campgrounds, lodges, tourist homes, convention centers, vacation rentals, motor courts, boarding houses, lake cottages, personal residences or similar type of accommodations by whatever name designated.”

Certainly sounds like an expansion beyond what the enabling legislation allows or intends. Also consider an e-mail that State Senator Betty Little sent me regarding the state passed legislation, in which she says, “Private homes that rent by the week would not be subject to this tax.”. Add in that even the state has been excluded by an Administrative Law Judge from collecting sales tax from private homes that even rent for less than a week.

If anyone affected by this tax expansion in Essex County decides to challenge its legality it will be up to the courts to determine if the county has gone too far. If I had a rental property in Essex County I would be gathering with friends and others who have properties affected by this law and consulting my attorney.

In my own case, higher education wasn’t my first thought when I was growing up. I really didn’t know what I wanted from life, but my father made it clear I was going to go to college; End of discussion.

My father would co-sign with me for a college tuition loan, but there was also no doubt, I would be the one who would pay back that loan, education earned or not. After two years it was clear, that college wasn’t for me. I wanted to join the workforce and was confident in my abilities to succeed. He was very upset, but a year later after I had risen in the ranks, he proudly gave me his approval.

I, like many others, believe we are living the American Dream. That’s a feeling no one can provide to another regardless how well meaning their intentions may be. It must be earned through hard work, personal sacrifice and drive to achieve whatever your version of the American Dream may be.

Our government leaders need to have faith in our people who have always risen to the challenge. Easy isn’t what built this country. America has been crafted one life at a time and one size does not fit all.

Praise for TPCC To the Editor: Last summer I had a chance encounter with Sandy Sangster, Chair of the Gallery Committee at the Tannery Pond Community Center. She invited me to join and I agreed. I am learning more about Tannery Pond Community Center and the many programs it offers. They currently are showing a wonderful quilt collection, hand crafted furniture and clothing that are truly “one of a kind”. If you haven’t stopped by Tannery Pond Community Center in awhile, I highly recommend that you check it out. They will have something new every month!

Americans struggle, Congress does fine To the Editor: At a time when many Americans are struggling with things like buying food and health care our members of Congress are doing just fine. In 2015 the House Speaker’s salary is $223,500 and House Majority and Minority leaders receive $193,400. Those who are only plain Congressmen and women receive only $174,000 for their hard work making things worse for the average American. These salaries are topped off with huge expense accounts and benefits taxpayers can only dream about. While those on Social Security will receive no increase in 2016 our Congress may get a $3,000 COLA if the coming budget is approved. There are even those in Congress who want to increase their base salaries because they say expenses have increased! According to published reports “The median net worth for a member of Congress in 2013 was over $1 million, and a majority of members are millionaires!” Many entered Congress having salaries of under $50,000 a year and by their second term they were millionaires. Am I the only American who feels something is amiss? Many have spent their careers over the past several years doing nothing but voting against health care and to shut down our government costing us taxpayers billions. Now they want to take away our Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as they squander our tax dollars. Several of those running for President in 2016 have made this part of their “Dream for America” and like Pied Pipers they have a following.

One has to wonder if these followers need hearing aids!

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Perspective Gordie Little

P

erspective.” It’s among my favorite words.

Others are serendipity and love.

As I scrolled through messages on a social site, I came to one that read, “We all see things differently. Let’s celebrate each other’s unique perspective on the world.” It was credited to Salvador Dali. I’m quite certain he never uttered or wrote that little saying, but his work indicates that he felt that way.

He was my kind of guy— walking through life off the beaten path; outside the box. If you don’t know his work, learn about it; look at his paintings and enjoy his “unique perspective.” I love watches, but I don’t have any that are melted like his.

I spend a lot of time talking to both children and adults about my left-handed philosophy. I invite them to walk with me off the main roads, through the apple orchards, across the streams and into the future, paying careful attention to things that are extraordinary while marching to a different drummer.

The other night, as we were relaxing in our separate easy chairs, I looked over at Kaye and began to quote a cherished poem: “The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat..” I have no clue why that popped into my head or leaped onto my lips. She is used to that kind of thing from me and instantly responded: “They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note.”

We were stuck after that, so I let my fat fingers do the walking and found the original: “The Owl looked up to the stars above, and sang to a small guitar..” She smiled as I read all three verses aloud and we laughed together. We do that often. “I can see all his illustrations in my mind as you read it,” she said.

I wish I could have met Edward Lear to learn what inspired this poem and the others in his book “Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany and Alphabets.” He explained that he penned them for his best friend’s three-yearold daughter and her mother.

I love words and have written about Lear’s use of the “runcible spoon,” made up out of whole cloth, just for this poem.

Kaye and I are fortunate to have grown up at a time where we were exposed at an early age to such things as Edward Lear’s “nonsense.” Look around the room and see if everyone else with you knows about “The Owl and the Pussycat.” I’ll wager that most under the age of 30 have never heard of it. And, isn’t that sad?

It’s time we bring back all the old books and nursery rhymes from our youth so those that come after us can likewise be delighted as we all celebrate our unique perspectives.

New literacy initiative seeks to reduce prison recidivism

LAKE PLACID—After their release, two out of three prisoners end up becoming re-incarcerated, says a local literacy group.

It’s because of these statistics that a new initiative has been launched to train qualified inmates to tutor other inmates.

More than 70 percent of incarcerated people can’t read above a 4th grade level, say the Literacy Volunteers.

“I am so excited about this initiative because education plays such a big role in people’s success rate when reentering society,” said Executive Director Marie Despres.

“National studies show that prison education programs reduce recidivism by over 40 percent! That means that fewer people are going back into jail after they get released, just because they are better educated.

Literacy Volunteers Board of Directors and FCI Raybrook Warden Stephen Langford said he is grateful for the group and their efforts.

“This kind of program in our prisons helps change the culture for the better, which makes it safer for the inmates, staff and loved ones,” said Langford. “They are

making a real difference in people’s lives.”

Literacy Volunteers recruits and trains volunteer tutors to work one-on-one with students. Each tutor attends an accredited training program that gives them the skills to effectively tutor adult students in both basic literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL). LV then matches trained tutors with adult students in need of training in either Basic Literacy, ESL, or help with obtaining a High School Equivalency (HSE) qualification.

Once a student/tutor match is made, Literacy Vol-

Let the Section VII postseason begin!

Soccer, football playoff pairings set, more league and sectional titles to come

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

With the changing of the leaves and shortening of the days, the Section VII championships are right around the corner.

The postseason began last week with the Section VII gymnastics championships, and were kicked into high gear this week with soccer and football playoffs under way.

Gymnastics The Peru Indians captured the Section VII team title with a total score of 156.825 Oct. 17, finishing just over four points ahead of second place Plattsburgh High School and almost 16 points ahead of Beekmantown.

The Indians were led by all-around champion Delany Brown, as the eighth grader capped off an impressive season with a high score of 9.075 for her floor exercise. She also scored an 8.725 on the beam, 8.5 on the vault and 7.875 on the bars. Her overall score of 34.175 was almost two points higher than PHS’s Morgan Hughes, who scored 32.3. Madison Baker finished third.

Brown, Hughes, Baker and Beekmantown’s Kailey Quackenbush qualified for the NYSPHSAA championship meet in all four events. Also earning spots on the Section VII state team were: Vault: Tony Russo, Paige Gricoski. Alternate Nick Nowosielski.

Bars: Kira Fisher, Allie Timmons. Alternate Mikayla Karkoski.

Beam: Kira Fisher, Paige Gricoski. Alternate Allie Timmons.

Floor: Alandra Gebo, Kira Fisher, Olivia Tarabula The state gymnastics championship meet will take place Saturday, Feb. 27, with site to be announced.

Boys soccer The fields have been set for the Section VII boys soccer championships, with Plattsburgh High, Lake Placid and Northern Adirondack earning the top seeds in classes B through D, respectively.

Class B Preliminary games in Class B boys will take place Wednesday, Oct. 21, with fourth seed Saranac hosting fifth seed Beekmantown at 6 p.m. and third Northeastern Clinton hosting sixth Saranac Lake, also at 6 p.m.

The semifinals will take place Saturday, Oct. 24, at George Brendler Field in Chazy as PHS will play the Saranac/Beekmantown winner at 5 p.m., followed by the NCCS/Saranac Lake winner playing Peru, who returns back to Class B play after two seasons as a Class A school, at 7 p.m.

The semifinal winners will face off Friday, Oct. 30, 7 p.m. at Brendler Field.

Class C With Northern Adirondack dropping to Class D, top seed Lake Placid will face second seed AuSable Valley for the title Wednesday, Oct. 28, 7 p.m. at Plattsburgh High School.

Class D Northern Adirondack is the lone team to receive a bye in their first appearance in the Class D playoffs, ousting perennial top seed Chazy, who dropped down a line to the second seed and will play seventh seed Willsboro Friday, Oct. 23, 3 p.m. at George Brendler Field.

Also on Oct. 23, the third seed Griffins of Elizabethtown-Lewis and Westport will face fifth seed Crown Point at Camp Dudley with a 3 p.m. kick off, while fourth seed Keene will play fifth seed Johnsburg/Schroon Lake, also at 3 p.m. at Keene Central School.

The Keene/Johnsburg winner will travel to Ellenburg to face Northern Adirondack in the Class D semifinals, scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27. The winners of the other two quarterfinal games will also square off that day, with the higher remaining seed hosting the contest and time to be announced.

The Class D championship game is scheduled to be played at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at Plattsburgh High School.

Girls soccer Northeastern Clinton, Northern Adirondack and Keene hold the top positions starting the sectional playoffs for the ladies.

Class B

Maria Black settles the ball for the Indian Lake/Long Lake Lady Orange.

NCCS and Beekmantown will both receive first round byes, with quarterfinal games scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20, featuring third seed Saranac and sixth seed Saranac Lake (6 p.m., Saranac) along with fourth seed Peru and fifth seed Plattsburgh High (3 p.m., Peru).

The Peru/PHS winner will advance to the semifinals to play the top-seeded Cougars Friday, Oct. 23, 5 p.m. at George Brendler Field in Chazy, followed by the Saranac/Saranac Lake winner against the second-seeded Eagles at 7 p.m.

The Class B championship game will take place Friday, Oct. 30, 5 p.m. at Brendler Field.

Class C The Lady Bobcats will remain in Class C to defend their sectional title, and will await the winner of the Tuesday, Oct. 20 opening round game between the fourth seed Seton Catholic Knights and fifth seed Ticonderoga Sentinels (3 p.m., Seton Catholic).

The winner of that game will meet NAC Thursday, Oct. 22, 5 p.m. at Chazy, followed by a 7 p.m. game between second seed AuSable Valley and third seed Lake Placid.

The semifinal winners will meet at Plattsburgh High School Wednesday, Oct. 28, for a 5 p.m. kick off.

Class D Perhaps the most surprising part of the Class D girls’ playoffs is who will not be attending the ball.

Perennial Division III power Minerva/Newcomb opted not to bring its team to the sectional playoffs one year removed from a championship game appearance, while potential Cinderella Schroon Lake, the only team to earn a result against top seed Keene with a 0-0 draw in the final game of the regular season, decided not to try on the glass slippers.

As a result, Keene and second seed Chazy will have byes in the quarterfinal round while third seed Crown Point will host sixth seed Johnsburg Thursday, Oct. 22, at 3 p.m., while the fourth seed Lady Griffins of Westport/Elizabethtown-Lewis will host fifth seed Moriah at Camp Dudley, also at 3 p.m. Oct. 22.

The Crown Point/Johnsburg winner will face Chazy Monday, Oct. 26, 6 p.m. at George Brendler Field. Keene will host a 3 p.m. contest the same day against the winner of the Griffins/ Vikings quarterfinal contest.

The Class D title game will take place Saturday, Oct. 31, at Plattsburgh High School with an 11 a.m. kick.

Judge debate << Continued from | p. 1

The judge said Barrett, a Lake Placid-based defense attorney, only had two jury trials in his courtroom, nor has he appeared in his family or surrogate’s courts.

Barrett disputed this, arguing that he has appeared in both. The candidate also noted he has had a number of trials brought to verdict in both state and federal court in his 11 years as an attorney.

This experience is significantly different than Meyer’s specialty in civil litigation, he said.

“What we’re dealing with here are human service cases,” said Barrett.

The debate in Elizabethtown marked the first time the candidates met on stage since declaring their candidacies in January. It’s been a campaign marked with stark differences with how the two view the role of the courts and how to preside over a remote and rural region.

Despite ethical guidelines limiting what the candidates could discuss — specific critiques of each candidate’s record in the courtroom were largely avoided — there was no shortage of thrusts and jabs, including on Essex County’s policy of assigning outside lawyers to family court cases instead of public defenders, who are tasked with handling only criminal cases.

Many of these lawyers are located outside of the county, noted Barrett.

“This is literally pumping money out of our county which would otherwise be spent here,” said the candidate in his opening statement.

Meyer said with over 700 cases per year in family court, making up some 70 percent of the court’s caseload, there simply aren’t enough lawyers in Essex County to meet the demand.

Only 13 have applied and asked to be assigned these cases, said Meyer.

“My opponent, unfortunately, is not one of them.”

The assigned counsel program, which is mandated by the state, operates based on an agreement between the Essex County Board of Supervisors and the Essex County Bar Association, said Meyer.

Attorneys are paid $75 per hour plus expenses, a rate that is set by the state.

“I wish there were more Essex County attorneys who would take cases — but that’s not the reality,” said Meyer.

There is no information to suggest that assigning counsel outside of the county costs more than inside, Meyer said.

“There’s no evidence to suggest that at all.”

Barrett said he has worked in counties across the state.

The public defender’s office in both Franklin and St. Lawrence counties handle family court cases, said Barrett.

“I don’t know what rule Judge Meyer was citing, but at least I’m seeing that happen in other counties,” he said. “Do I think it could happen here? Yes, I think it would be a great savings to the taxpayers of Essex County.”

The two also sparred over specialty courts.

Barrett said while drug and veterans treatment courts have their bright spots, he questioned if the benefits justified taxpayer cost if very few people completed those programs.

Meyer countered that even once success story results in money well spent.

“It’s not the number of people in it, it’s what we do for our veterans,” said Meyer.

Meyer and Barrett disagreed on how active the court should be in shaping policy.

Meyer said judges have almost no role in doing so — policies are set by the Office of Court Administration — while Barrett said, if elected, he would like the court to be a stronger voice for advocacy.

Library trustees to meet SCHROON — There will be a regular meeting of the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System Board of Trustees Tuesday, Oct. 27, at Schroon Lake Public Library, at 3 p.m.

It will be held in the Community Meeting Room. Every year three “away” Board meetings are held at various member libraries.

This will be the final “away” meeting of 2015.

The meeting is open to the public.

The candidates also sounded off on transparency.

“I would like to be a judge that is approachable,” said Barrett, “one who will listen to ideas on both ideas of issues.”

If elected, Barrett said his courtroom would be media friendly. Meyer said while his courtroom is always open to the public, it is not the job of judge to be a public relations person.

And in a rare agreement, both questioned the misconception that family court favors the mother.

“The best interests of the children lie in having them nurtured and guided by both parents and there is no preference, in custody cases, for one parent over the other,” Meyer said, calling the question from an audience member one that is based on false premises.

When parents first come in, the court tries to establish a schedule. But there are many factors in trying to work out a 50-50 split, including residence, travel times and work schedules.

Barrett agreed there is no blanket policy: “Whatever’s in the best interest of the kids,” he said.

Barrett said his parents divorced when he was 18 months old.

“I kind of consider myself a product of family court a little bit and I bring the child’s perspective to the court,” he said.

In his opening comments, Meyer recounted a humble background.

His grandfather emigrated from Poland to Manhattan’s Lower East Side as a teenager, where he sold items from a cart and worked in sweatshops. Eventually, he found his way to Lake Placid.

When Meyer’s father returned from World War II, he moved to Port Henry and opened a chain of pharmacies. Meyer, who attended Saranac Lake High, worked his way through college performing a series of menial jobs, including washing dishes at the student dining hall.

After law school, he married and put down roots in the community.

“Despite my size, I also coached JV basketball,” he quipped.

If re-elected, Meyer said he would continue to be impartial and fair to all of those who enter his courtroom.

Barrett instead focused on his vision for the county, delivering a modified version of his stump speech, including a pledge: “I have no desire to run for supreme court or to seek any higher judicial office than I am running for now,” said Barrett, indirectly referring to Meyer’s stint as Acting Supreme Court Judge.

To illustrate what he said was broad appeal, the candidate cited a series of endorsements from former New York State Police Troop B Commander Maj. Peter Person, the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association and United Steelworkers Local 5 and 497.

If elected, Barrett said he would be nonpartisan.

“There’s only the right, fair and objective way,” said Barrett.

Barrett asked Meyer what advice he had for him should he emerge victorious at the polls on Nov. 3.

“Come to the job with passion, committed to hard work and long hours,” said Meyer.

Meyer is running on the Republican and Reform Lines; Barrett, on the Democratic line. The two are engaged in litigation over the Conservative line on the ballot. At present, the vote is tied 46-46.

Hamilton County Youth Summit brings out the best in students

By Mike Corey

feedback@suncommunitynews.com

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — About 100 middle and high school students from across Hamilton County took part in the 2015 Hamilton County Youth Summit, an event that brought these students together in an effort to help them recognize how awesome they are.

The date of this summit was Oct. 8, and it was an opportunity for students to work together as teams in order to bring back ideas to their districts which will help make their schools and communities better places to be.

Students ranging from sixth through ninth grade along with student council representatives from each of the four public schools in Hamilton County attended the event held at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake: Indian Lake, Lake Pleasant, Long Lake, and Wells students worked together.

Organized by the Hamilton County Department of Community Services, the Youth Summit brought together students and local individuals who worked together to brainstorms ideas for improving themselves, their schools, their communities, and the world.

The word “awesome” was frequently heard throughout the day as students moved about the museum property. At the end of the day, students got together in their own school groups after spending time talking with and learning from a mix of students from other schools.

Great ideas came about as a result of this summit in Blue Mountain Lake; students from each of the four schools had plenty to talk about during the day and certainly after the event was over.

Opening Day

A

s the first snow of season continues to dusts the High Peaks, Autumn has taken full command of the land. I always enjoy getting out at this time of year to take in the season’s cool, breezy winds, which come tainted with a heady mix of decaying leaves, and woodsmoke.

October has a unique scent, which beckons all sportsmen and women to step outside. While the Fall season initially provides a spectacular display of fiery technicolor foliage, it will soon morph into a mellow, yellow patchwork of birch,

poplar and evergreens and the looming conclusion of foliage season.

As the wind and rain begin to strip away the remaining foliage from the hillsides, the thick, dark forests will gradually open up to hunters. The process always results in a natural transformation of the hills and valleys, while a series of corresponding social adjustments will take place in the local towns and villages, where the question, “Didja’ get your’s yet?” will again be considered a proper greeting.

By mid-November, it will be difficult to find a local tradesman that’s available to fix a squeaky door, or repair a leaky faucet. As the �rut’ grows near sportsmen, and women will put all other matters aside, as they take to the woods in pursuit of whitetails. Although hunting has traditionally been considered primarily a male pursuit, female hunters have largely been responsible for filling the steadily diminishing ranks of the hunting fraternity in recent years.

Yes, it’s true. Lady’s do hunt. It’s no longer exclusively a �man’s game, as evidenced by the increasing number of newcomers to the hunt. Statistics show a 36 percent increase in women hunters since 2001, with over 70.6 million dollars spent on women’s hunting licenses since 2009.

Rookies welcome, Veterans willing to learn Although every human being is born with a natural compulsion to hunt, we have learned to temper these instinctive behaviors as civilization progressed.

Unfortunately, without the opportunity to hone these inherent hunting skills and abilities with regular practice and training; our skills have Cool evenings, and the warm morning air combine to create heavy fog in the valleys, which can limit a hunter’s largely atrophied. Essentially, visibility. it’s the same as any personal

he campers have rolled out, and the beach people are heading south to warmer sands. Fall is coming. For some it is a sad event. For others, well, we welcome fall; the change of colors, the cool stream waters with spawning trout, salmon, and steelhead following up.

Then of course, there’s fall hunting season.

Pheasant and grouse are favorites for bird hunters. High brass loads, the smell of gun powder and a bulge in the back of your hunting vest game bag are what we enjoy! Then there is the sound of the pump! Sweet soul

music!

Watching a hunting dog work and flushing a bird is the real thrill of bird hunting. Taking a bird is second. Seeing the smile on a dog’s face when he is out doing what nature meant, is what a day in the field is all about.

Taking your favorite hunting buddy along, flushing birds and enjoying the full moon rise over a grassy field after an afternoon’s hunt is something you remember all your life.

Choosing what to do that day is a challenge. There is fly fishing and bird hunting, while whitetail deer and bear also rival for our time.

The streams are starting to shutter from the backs and fins of fish heading from the lake to the streams, in search of spawning gravels.

skill; if you don’t use it, you loose it.

Whether we like it or not, humans are predators by design, with eyes that set on the front of our head, with ears on the side. Our teeth are intended to tear and chew meat, and our digestive system is capable of processing it.

While we continue to practice the skills of stalking and capturing prey, it typically occurs at a very young age. In fact, the vast majority of humans no longer have possess either the skills, or the knowledge to fully utilize our natural, predatory design.

Most of the childhood games we all played, including Clench a Wench, Red Rover, Hide and Seek, Tag, Blind Man’s Bluff and Capture the Flag have been around for centuries.

Initially, these games were intended to hone our natural predatory, stalking and hunting skills. If I paid more attention in Kindergarten, I’d probably be a much better hunter today. Many of those lessons focused on how to pay attention, and sit still, quietly, without looking all around or fidgeting in your seat. In hindsight, the lessons were all applicable to hunting.

On the Hunt Although hunters have been out in the woods for several weeks already, hunting with a variety of longbows, compound bows, crossbows and an assortment of muzzleloaders, breechloaders and freeloaders; I’ve had only a few reports of deer being taken. I expect the tables will turn, when the Regular Big Game season begins at sunrise Saturday, Oct. 24.

Pools fill with fish, waiting for the rains to show them the way up, upstream to clean gravel where they make their reeds and create new life. Life goes on!

Trout and salmon, swinging flies and down time on a stream or lake side makes a person healthy and calm. Hooking into a nice fish and seeing the marvel of nature, the colors and patterns of a rainbow, brookie, brown or salmon are something even an artist tries to mimic!

Fall’s colors, whether it is a maple leaf, a misty morning rainbow or Oncorhynchus mykiss, it’s why we rise early; to see the day wake up. It’s something a morning person understands.

Putting on a pack and heading out into the woods with a 700 .270 rifle, full pack to get you through the day and wander lust in the soul while on the search is truly freedom!

Maybe it’s a wilderness camp site you will spend a day to two at, or even longer, it will be home for the woods wise. Camp fire smoke, meals over a fire and wool coats. Yea, Life is good!

Deer tracks, rubs and runs are always on the mind of the hunter; eyes ever peeling for movement or some kind of sign. A winter’s

store of fresh meat taken nature’s way, from the woods is what we desire and thrive on.

Fish, fowl and deer or bear steaks can all be on an outdoors menu this fall.

The beach people will be sipping cocktails in the sun under an umbrella, while we will be having a stream cooled beer after the hunt.

Sitting on a tailgate with a bird or two and a smiling puppy, or up in the woods sitting by the fireside after a long days hunt, it doesn’t matter. We are free!

When the cold winter winds blow, it’s minus 10 degrees outside, maybe then we will become beach folk for a week or two. Sitting in the southern sun or under the umbrella sipping a cocktail or two in February is OK with me.

Yea, life is good! We are Free!
