Five golden retrievers

By Bill Quinlivan

NORTH CREEK — It may not have been the fifth day of Christmas, but residents at the Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center were all recipients of “Five Golden Rings.”

“Five Golden Rings,” are a group of five golden retrievers owned by Pam Pooler of Speculator and Debby Starling of Indian Lake.

Throughout the year, each of the retrievers visit the Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in North Creek, but the holidays called for some special celebrating.

On Dec. 20, all five golden retrievers made a special group appearance. Kade, Piper, Bolo, Augie and baby Fergus treated the Tri-County residents and staff to a lively and festive visit. All five goldens showed up wearing “ugly” Christmas sweaters to delight those in attendance and to show that they knew a bit of something about what it means to be fashionable.

In addition, Santa and Mrs. Claus made an appearance with one of their reindeer wearing a Christmas wreath. It was all merriment, dog biscuits, pets and smiles for all who were graced by the visit.

Organizers also took time to thank handlers Alice King, Jessica Sears and Robin Jay.

Hunting proven to be tourism driver in Hamilton County

By Christina Scanlon

INDIAN LAKE — A recent report from Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli estimated two million people hunt and fish annually in the state, ranking them third in the nation. Those people spend an average of $5 billion, earning the state second place in revenues.

More interesting to local folks may be the discovery made during the collection of data concerning Hamilton County.

Though it’s the least populated county in the state, “the total number of licenses sold in Hamilton County was equal to over 84 percent of its population,” said DiNapoli in his report.

“More than a third of all licenses issued in the county were to out-of-state residents.” >> Story Continued | pg. 2

Indian Lake town board honors councilman John “Jack” Valentine

By Bill Quinlivan

tine’s remarks with a hearty standing ovation.

news@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE — During the December Indian Lake Town Board Meeting, the board passed Resolution #24, defined by Indian Lake Town Supervisor, Brian Wells as a “Resolution of Thanks to Councilman John Valentine”.

As a result of the November election, Councilman Valentine finishes his term of service at year’s end.

“We are going to miss Jack on the board,” remarked Wells. “He was a very active Board member and could be found working here in the town hall most often and was always here to support the community and my efforts.”

Wells presented Valentine with a framed copy of the Resolution.

“It has been a privilege and an honor to serve on this town board,” Valentine said. “I think we have done a great deal of moving forward over the last four years. I certainly hope that the board continues to move programs forward. To not move forward is to fall behind. I am a lame duck councilman, and as such, I get to have the last quack. There are some that won’t like to hear this, but I am not going away. I will be sitting out there in attendance at future board meetings, making sure that the board is continuing to move in a forward direction.”

The Board and all in attendance met Valen-

Other Business • Brenda Valentine, President of the Indian Lake Community Development Corporation (ILCDC) and Chair of the Main Street Revitalization Committee (MSRC) announced that the Town of Indian Lake is the recipient of a $200,000 matching grant. The monies will go toward allowing six Hamlet of Indian Lake Main Street business owners to undertake revitalization work on their properties.

In addition, the grant will also provide funds for Indian Lake Main Street “streetscapes” to further beautify and revitalize the Hamlet.

Valentine thanked all involved in supporting the 4-year effort to acquire the grant and gave special thanks to all the members of the MSRC. Valentine will also be releasing more information in the near future.

• It was officially announced that the “Cycle the Adirondacks” tour will make Indian Lake one of its six stops this summer. Given that this year’s tour has been capped at 600, it is expected to bring a large number of riders, as well as, family members and friends accompanying the riders on the tour. The riders are expected to start arriving around 3 p.m. Aug. 25, and departing at 10 a.m. Aug. 26. The tour will set up an overnight camp in one of the host communities each night of the tour, which will take place from Aug. 20 to the 27.

Licenses << Continued from | p. 1

In Indian Lake, Town Clerk Julie Clawson estimated 70 percent of licenses sold are to individuals from outside New York.

Statewide, that number is around 20 percent.

Of those sold in Indian Lake, about half are for fishing and the other for hunting.

“Most of what I see are for both,” she said, referring to the formerly named “sportsman” license.

“The only time I see more fishing licenses is when there’s a fishing tournament,” she said. In those cases, she will often sell one-day licenses.

Ranking the highest in sales per population didn’t surprise Clawson.

“We only have so many people here,” she said. The town population of 1395 is the largest in the county.

“A good share here are second homes, not their primary residence,” she said.

Indian Lake may also take on the bulk of sales in the county as many towns are no longer selling licenses, said Supervisor Brian Wells.

“We had to invest in a new printer and update our computers after the state went to a new system,” he said.

Lake Chamber of Commerce provided the town board with an overview of the recent Annual Meeting, which this year was in conjunction with the Indian Lake Community Development Corporation (ILCDC). Pouch reported that the dinner gathering was held in Minnowbrook Conference Center and the educational component of the meeting was an overview of the upcoming Comprehensive Plan Project presented by the Chazen Companies. During the gathering, the Chamber voted its panel of officers and approved some bylaw changes, which allow for a two-year term of service by officers with an option to re-up on one-year terms.

Pouch went on to report the success of both the North Country Christmas Tour and Small Business Saturday. On the Chamber’s website, there were 354 downloads of the Christmas Tour Brochure and another 100 visitors came to the Chamber offices seeking copies of the North Country Christmas Tour Brochure. Christine Pouch also announced that the Chamber offices would be open on the weekends following both the Christmas and New Year holidays.

• The board approved Dec. 29 as its end of year meeting and Jan. 4 for its organizational meeting. Both meetings will take place in the Town Hall on Pelon Road and begin at 5 p.m.

• Wells announced that bids for the work on the Abanakee Lake Dam will be open on Jan. 5 and that it looks like six companies are expected to be bidding. The bids will be an-

Some towns, like Morehouse, quit selling the licenses when the new system was required.

Town Clerk Amanda Seeley said the old system provided the printer and paper for the licenses, the new system requires all the upgrades plus out-of-pocket expenses for the paper and printing costs.

“The only thing they send is the machine,” she said, making it cost prohibitive for small towns such as Morehouse with a most recent population tally less than 80.

The town stopped offering the licenses. Seeley reported a majority of the sales were for hunting and fishing, which would include trapping privileges.

“That’s always been popular here,” she said.

She believes a number of the town’s former customers go to the neighboring town of Ohio, which is in Herkimer County.

Robert Johnson, owner of Long View Lodge, said they are closed during hunting season, so he doesn’t see the draw of customers due to the sport. He does, however, believe those families that visit during the summer return to hunt.

“In the fall, what I see at the lake, is a guy’s weekend. It’s hunting rifles, beer, cigars... it’s a right of passage,” he said.

Johnson just completed his first summer of ownership of the lodge and is contemplating remaining open next winter.

Johnson said he believed fishing had a larger impact on bed counts for visitors, as many hunters use camps or remain in

The next meeting of the Indian Lake Town Board will be on Jan. 5, at 7 p.m. in the Indian Lake Town Hall on Pelon Road.

Parking restriction in place on North Creek’s Main Street NORTH CREEK — Parking restrictions are now in place on Main Street in the hamlet, a measure prompted by the parking concerns from North Creek Business Alliances.

Supervisor Ron Vanselow said issues with plowing Main Street, a county road which is maintained by the county, arose when plow trucks were forced to remove snow around parked vehicles. Upon the vacancy of the vehicle, a police of snow would then remain.

Vanselow said through April, there will be no overnight parking on the east side.

“There’s a fair amount of parking on the west side,” he said, which offered parking in the Tops market lot, as well.

Vanselow said drivers should also take not of new signage on Wade Avenue, where the county has restricted parking as well.

tents in the woods rather than book rooms.

Tom Knoll, owner of Water’s Edge Cottages, said he has the same observation.

“We have 50 times more coming to fish than hunt,” he said, only recalling one hunting party early this season.

In total, 901 hunting licenses, 2523 fishing licenses and 626 combined licenses were sold in Hamilton County in 2011, according to the report.

State numbers show two-thirds fish exclusively, followed by 28 percent who fish and hunt and nine percent who hunt only.

While spending on the sports totaled more than $5 billion, nearly $1.9 billion was spent on trip-related purchases including transportation, lodging and food.

Ranked first in the state with total license sales in 2012-13, Erie County issued more than 120,000 licenses and permits.

Oswego County ranked first in fishing licenses.

In addition to benefiting the economy, fishing and hunting supports state wildlife programs. According to the report, revenues from the sale of annual licenses to fish, hunt and trap have contributed an average of $45.3 million a year to the state Conservation Fund in the last five fiscal years. Spending from that fund on state wildlife conservation programs has averaged $44.3 million over the same time period.

‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever?’ Yes

By Mike Corey

news@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH CREEK — As promised, the young Herdman children, who were altogether mean, even nasty little brats who smoked cigars, swore, and beat up on other children, raised a ruckus when they took over the quiet, sedate, and altogether boring community Christmas pageant.

The results were unexpectedly and surprisingly positive. Sometimes moving away from the routine to a place out of one’s comfort zone can yield lots of good things.

This was the theme of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” a big play with a big heart and an even bigger cast.

With a large crowd of 22 actors (15 of them kids from around the area), the performances at the Tannery Pond Community Center and Indian Lake Theater the weekend of Dec. 1113 were spirited and pretty delightful.

The play was presented by the Our Town Theater Group, which is based in North Creek. The final performance at the Indian Lake Theater drew around 120 people after large crowds at Tannery Pond for the first two shows.

“I was honored to have the OTTG here with us at the Theater,” Indian Lake Theater Director Sue Montgomery Corey said.

The kids in the play said they had fun and it was a neat experience for them, many of whom had never acted before.

“I thought it was the best and first play I was ever in, and it was exciting,” said Erin Savarie of Minerva.

A similar sentiment was heard from Shelby Tuller, also from Minerva.

“It was the funnest play I’ve ever been in!”

Although guest director Colleen Potter had her hands full, she really enjoyed the energy levels of her young actors. At the show’s wrap, she gathered all together.

“You all did an amazing job – thank you!”

She had a lot of assistance from her adult actors and stage managers Trish Gardner and Mary Benton Frasier.

“Each and everyone fell in love with theater,” said Trish Gardner. “There were tears in their eyes when it was done.”

Autumn Goerner of Olmstedville, who may have had the toughest role in the play, and whose husband Bone Bayse and kids Avery and Sage were all on stage, felt good about the performances.

“I was really proud of my kids – I think the younger the kid, the quicker they learn their lines,” she said.

The show wrapped up the 19th season of the OTTG, with lots of performances coming up in 2016.

want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a grand New Year. Remember the reason we have Christmas. Enjoy the time with family. It isn’t just gifts and food but the fellowship. Love your family and let them know you are glad you are together. Think of the ones who would love to spend time with family and can not.

Well, winter sure did arrive in Bakers Mills quickly. Friday the weather was delightful, Saturday it was frightful. Plenty of snow for maybe a chance to go skiing on Sunday. The ski areas need it even if I do NOT. The area depends on ski season and it helps the area to grow. It is great for folks to have jobs.

As I look at my Christmas tree I think back to times when Uncle George and Aunt Ona Dunkley would come for dinner or we would go to their house. Then we would go around and visit some of Mom’s siblings that lived in the area. Grandma Esther sometimes came with the string of bells around her neck that was a part of the horses decor. The bells hang on the side of the fireplace to this day. One Christmas on our way to Aunt Ona’s, the car didn’t want to make it up the hill so we had to walk to the house. Fred had just received a holster and gun set. He lost one of his new guns. Found it in the spring. Maybe a little rusty, can’t remember that part.

The Mountain Side Community Church in Bakers Mills had a great turn out Sunday night for their Christmas program. Also, The Calvary Bible and North River Methodist had their Christmas Program. So many look forward to these events each year.

What lies ahead

016 Is here already? I can’t believe how fast the years seem to fly by.

I can’t help but wonder if the fast pace of a wired society these days, where we are all so connected, lends to how quickly the years seem to slip by but they certainly seem to be slipping by at an unbelievable rate.

The past year was one of major change both here at home in the United States and around the world.

Terrorism, war, the economy, immigration, refugees, guns, rising debt and election turmoil seem destine to capture the headlines as we move into 2016 and beyond, in what should be another pivotal year in our ongoing nation’s story.

It’s anyone’s guess what direction 2016 will take but we know for sure the next 10 months will be filled with major issues as candidates for both political parties do their best to explain what’s wrong and what they intend to do to fix America.

One candidate will convince enough of us that they are the right person for the job. We can only hope and pray that we make a choice that’s right for the country and a new leader can find common purpose that the vast majority can support.

I, for one, don’t think the country can stand much more polarization with the constant game of tugo-war played between the nation�s elected officials.

We can’t continue tearing at the very fabric of the nation at a time when we need to be united in purpose.

The audition for role as Commander and Chief is about to get serious as we finally move away from an over crowded field of want-to-bees and into the process of the run-off state primaries. This will be a time where we narrow down the field, while removing the pollsters from their predictions to discover what the electorate really believes about the issues and who they believe is best suited to lead this nation.

2016 holds a great deal of promise but at the same time presents potential risks to the stability of the world.

We can only hope and pray that reasonable world leaders take steps to lessen the growing tensions and that all God’s people can take a step back and learn to live in harmony on this small planet we are forced to share.

County should consider allocating bed tax differently

G

olfing on Christmas! Can you believe it?

While the full story won’t be revealed until spring, it’s likely the North Country tourism biz got a big kick in the pants from this stretch of unseasonable weather.

But for towns in Essex County who aren’t Wilmington and Lake Placid, the vacant hotels and empty Main Streets is just business as usual.

Let’s face it: We cannot rely solely on the free market to reverse course when it comes to creating and executing the huge events that will attract visitors to our region.

We need more public investment.

We’re not talking big fat slabs of pork from the state government — last month’s “Hunger Games” revealed the state has little appetite for supporting Olympic pipe dreams — but rather an adjustment for how the local bed tax is distributed.

Essex County lawmakers finally put a long-simmering dispute to bed last year when they passed a law requiring vacation rental units to pay the 3 percent occupancy tax that traditional hoteliers have been paying for years.

Conservative estimates say this will boost the total haul by at least 12 percent, bringing the number to about $2.3 million.

Those revenues are then kicked over to the Regional Office for Sustainable Tourism, or ROOST, to promote the county’s tourism assets.

ROOST generally allocates the lion’s share of those funds to the communities that generate the most tax, mainly North Elba and Wilmington.

The little guys receive promotional support by web outreach, small-scale event promotion and other marketing techniques designed to drive overnight visitation.

Additional monies can be freed up as part of a grant process — Ask and you shall receive, says ROOST — while this year, communities will also receive $50,000 as part of a “tourism enhancement fund” tied to the bed tax upgrade.

Makes sense, right?

Yes and no.

For years, how the funds are allocated has become a “chicken or the egg”type scenario.

Why should, say, Westport or Ticonderoga get an outsized chunk of change if they generated hardly any occupancy tax?

Ordinarily, we’d say they shouldn’t.

But desperate times call for desperate measures.

And folks, it’s grim out there.

It’s hard not to become cynical as our outlying communities continue to struggle as another year fades in the rearview.

More closed businesses. More people leaving.

Our communities have become ghost towns.

Big events are needed to stimulate activity in the region.

We agree with ROOST on most issues.

We agree that large-scale events are one way to develop economic sustainability.

We agree that dedicated groups of civic cheerleaders need to organize these events.

And we agree that the private sector needs to spearhead growth in lodging, alongside recreational and retail infrastructure, to accommodate these visitors and accelerate economic growth in the community.

But we disagree on how the funding is allocated.

While ROOST’s strategy seems like a good one for the long-term, these plans will take years to come to fruition — perhaps close to a decade:

For one, there doesn’t appear to be a sense of urgency. Another is the lack of water and sewer infrastructure that prohibits retail and lodging businesses to expand in communities throughout the Adirondack Park.

Towns need a boost now. And it can happen.

A large influx of cash, for instance, could take a large-scale concert series at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport from a fleeting thought to reality within a year.

It could make Elizabethtown the epicenter for a mountain bike race, or Ticonderoga the center of an international fishing derby.

Essex County should consider a system like they have in Warren County, where the county turns over a designated amount of the bed tax to the towns.

Committees, bolstered by tourism officials, then use a list of criteria to gauge the benefits of each potential project before distributing the funding.

The infrastructure already exists here in the form of the “tourism destination areas” ROOST set up several years ago to draft blueprints for their communities.

Giving them direct access to the pursestrings might help expedite some movement.

ROOST often says that we need to think regionally — Lake Placid isn’t competing with Cape Cod, for instance, but rather Lake George.

What a better way to think regionally then a more equitable distribution system?

After years of investments, mega events like the Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest and IronMan Lake Placid now stand on their own.

The only way for our surrounding areas to reach parity is several years of direct financial investment before tourism officials remove the training wheels.

While it may seem retrograde to depart from the top-down approach, it may be time to put some autonomy back in local hands.

Wilmington and Lake Placid may be the crown jewels when it comes to North Country tourism. But if they’re surrounded by the empty husks of once-vibrant communities, it’s a disservice to us all.

Christmas Carol a sell out in Ticonderoga

Response to “Stand Up to the NRA”

To the Editor: The Festival Guild Players’ production of “Christmas Carol” was a big success with all four performances sold out. The audiences loved the modern adaption of this Charles Dickens classic which was written and directed

by Vincent Smith.

The production had a large cast of 38 actors whose ages ranged from preschool to retirees. The play had an interesting twist with a female Scrooge played perfectly by Jill Cunningham – she was stern and grumpy until the very end. Bob Cratchit, played by Scott Hill opened the play with a narration that set the stage for the production and ended the show with another narration that completed the story beautifully. The entire cast did an excellent job of delivering a magical theatrical experience for each of the four performances.

Ticonderoga’s Community Building proved to be an intimate setting for “Christmas Carol” with production sets on the stage as well as on the floor in front of the stage. Actors entered and exited the stage through the aisles, often engaging the audience as they came and went. The audience felt very connected to the play and the characters.

Sound and lighting were a critical component to the production. Bob Elling and Richard Timberlake designed the lighting and sound systems used. A terrific production crew of Scott Tyler, Andrew Rasmus, and Stuart Baker made the magic happen. The Festival Guild Players are very grateful to several benefactors who provided the funds used to purchase the new equipment. Funds were provided by the Town of Ticonderoga, the Ticonderoga Festival Guild, and International Paper. Grants were awarded by The Charles R. Wood Foundation as well as the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation; “Dedicated to improving the quality of life for yearround residents of the Adirondack Park.”

Many people are now anticipating the next play which is expected to be a melodrama and is planned to be scheduled in late May or early June.

To the Editor: I’m always surprised when someone mentions gun control and hunting in the same breath.

There is a lot of “redirecting” out there these days, and redefining words to make a person’s views seem more palatable. Let’s be done once and for all with the idea that the second amendment has anything what so ever to do with hunting. Can we do that? Bury that thought forever.

I’d love to never hear it again. Almost all of the constitution is designed to protect, we the people from the government. Every check and balance, every freedom that was recognized by the government, not allowed by the government. There were self evident then, what is different now? Here in the north, we know that phones may not be available. We know that should there be a need for a gun, one shot may not be enough. It’s part of our life here, it always has been. We have had these freedoms since this was a colony. Why the rush now to give them up? When your right to defend yourself and family is gone, what will you surrender next? Lets change the title here from “Stand up to the NRA,” to “Stand up for the NRA.” Fred V. Provoncha Ticonderoga

Safe driving To the Editor: The holiday season is one of the most dangerous times of the year for alcohol-related automobile accidents. The reason for this is the added stress the holidays bring as well as the fact that more people are drinking as part of numerous parties and other festivals.

Lake Placid/Wilmington Connecting Youth and Communities Coalition, Lake Placid Police Chief William Moore, New York State Troop B Major Charles Guess, Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting and Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague join together to remind everyone that excessive drinking and driving is a serious offense with serious consequences to the offender and to their victims. Not only do offenders risk themselves, they also risk their passengers and anyone else who happens to be in their path.

On November 18, 2009, Leandra’s Law was passed. It was named after 11-year-old Leandra Rosado, who was killed in a crash while a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver. With the passage of the law, New York mandated installation of an ignition interlock device for all drivers convicted of misdemeanor and felony drunk driving. A person who has interlock ignition on their vehicle must blow into the device to prove that they have not consumed alcohol. If the device detects alcohol, the vehicle will not operate.

It also created a new Class E Felony charge for Driving While Intoxicated with a child passenger 15 years old or younger in the car.

Sheriff Cutting, Chief Moore, Major Guess and District Attorney Sprague feel a special responsibility for keeping our roads safe, but you, the driving public, are where the responsibility is greatest. We know and understand the risks and we appreciate your dedication to safe driving, both on your own and hopefully as a designated driver for someone else.

It is our hope that your holidays are filled with joy and happiness. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.

Sheriff, Richard Cutting Chief, William Moore Major Charles Guess District Attorney, Kristy Sprague Tina Clark, CYC Coordinator

Silver Bay impacts community with taxes To the Editor: I must agree with the letter to the editor That “Silver Bay YMCA continues to have an impact on community”. The letter does list programs that are available to family’s and children not only in Ticonderoga, but the entire North Country.

Some of the impact, in my opinion, is not always so positive. Silver Bay YMCA has a mile of shore line on Lake George with many acres of land and buildings galore. As a religious organization they don’t have to pay taxes on all of those resources. This puts the burden on the residents of the town to make up the difference. Oh they do make a “donation” to the town but nothing close to the value that the town would realize from homes and business on that same property.

I have heard that the YMCA septic system is going to be replaced. I’m sure that they are not going to do this without a reason. There are two types of septic systems, one that has failed and one that is going to fail. Money was donated for a building addition but is now going to replace the septic system. Why not work with the town to help with an addition to the town sewer system and avoid additional pollution to our wonderful lake.

The other business in town also feel the impact of the YMCA, restaurant’s, hotel’s and general stores not only have to compete with the YMCA but they also have to help make up the taxes to the town and county that the YMCA does not pay. The YMCA should think about all the impacts they have on the neighbors in our town.

Rebuttal to Ms. Dixon To the Editor: This was a rebuttal to a letter to the editor: Ms. Dixon’s recent editorial I respect Ms. Dixon for stating her opinion regarding the cartoon depicting a Muslim woman as a human bomb but I feel that she has misunderstood the intent of the cartoon. In my opinion this cartoon was making an excellent statement. It identified the fact that anyone, man woman or child, as misguided as they may be, can and will harm innocent Americans as well as innocent citizens of other democracies.

This cartoon has absolutely nothing to do with sexism. Again, in my opinion, this well presented cartoon, identifies just how vulnerable we are to radical attacks. Plain and simple!

Long Lake polar plunge returns

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

LONG LAKE—The Feelin’ Long Lakey Polar Plunge returns Saturday with a renewed fundraising goal of $20,000, quite an impressive climb from when the event started just four years ago.

“The first year, I really had no idea,” said organizer Alexandra Roalsvig, director of tourism for Town of Long Lake Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department.

At the beginning, she aimed to raise $2,000.

One team alone raised $4,000, she recalled, bringing the first year tally somewhere around $6,500.

The last several rounds have brought in around $16,000 to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.

This year’s goal? $20,000.

Roalsvig is hopeful for an appearance of a veteran who was a recent recipient of a service dog courtesy of the Wounded Warrior Project.

After a public push for more participants and donations, Roalsvig can’t say whether it’s attainable. She’ll just have to wait until Saturday.

“Everyone waits,” she said of pre-registration.

“The first year, I think we had five people preregister.”

She’s aware of many repeat plunge participants and teams currently preparing for the day.

A lot, she said, may depend on holiday travel plans, as well.

Normally scheduled for the Saturday following Christmas, Roalsvig moved the event to Jan. 2 to avoid the day after Christmas that might have lowered attendance.

Estimating 85 individuals have taken the plunge in years past, she’s hoping to hit the 100 mark.

Will they make it? “There’s a lot of buzz. The teams usually drum that up,” she said. “We’ll just have to wait and see.”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW The Town of Long Lake Parks and Recreation Department is joined by the Long Lake Rescue Squad and the Long Lake Fire Department in hosting the event at the Long Lake Town Beach.

Prizes will be awarded for best costume, best

team theme, most money raised by an individual, most money raised by a team and best plunge technique. Registration and blood pressure checks will be held at the Adirondack Hotel from 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. prior to the 1 p.m. plunge.

Participants are asked to bring towels, robes and warm clothes. There will be access to a warm public restroom on site. Warm busses will be used as holding areas at the beach before and after the plunge. Limited changing space will be available at the Adirondack Hotel.

An after party will be held at the Adirondack Hotel, 1245 Main St. at 2 p.m. featuring the awards ceremony and live music with bluegrass fiddler, Nelson Rock. The Long Lake Little Bus will be providing free transportation to and from the after party from 4 to 9 p.m. Rides are available by calling 323-5001.

Pre-Registration materials and Wounded Warrior Pledge sheets are available at the Long Lake Town Office Building, 1130 Deerland Road weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 624-3077 or visit mylonglake.com under winter events and calendar of events for more information.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits Do you believe in Angels?

Gordie Little

Columnist

S

ome believe they’re all around us. They certainly played a significant role in the Christmas story.

Songs have been written about them and a number of movies have featured them. What are they? Angels.

I have my own opinion and you no doubt have one as well.

Those who know me have read and listened to my stories of such things for a long time. In recent years, I have carried a portfolio of photographs with me to enhance some of what I call “true” ghost stories.

Kaye and I enjoy midnight mass each year at St. Alexander’s Church in Morrisonville and this year was no exception. I was asked to videotape it and was happy to do so. The music was outstanding. For us and a packed sanctuary, it was the perfect way to celebrate the “reason for the season.”

Our friend Jason Cerone is an accomplished photographer and some of his images surrounding the recent prison break have received widespread acclaim.

He and David Nelson attended the St. Peter’s midnight mass in Plattsburgh this year and one of his photographs has “gone viral,” as they say in the digital age vernacular.

At first he didn’t see anything out of the ordinary when he snapped a shot of the beautiful altar. Then, it hit him like a ton of bricks. What was that filmy image on the left side next to the Christmas tree? He showed it to me and I was astounded. I begged him to enlarge that portion so I could examine it very carefully. The longer I stared at it, the more I was overcome by the feeling that I was seeing something glorious and special.

You don’t need to view it with a vivid imagination. It’s an angel with moving wings, plain and simple. It’s that obvious. I’ve looked at many such pictures, but this one stands out from all the rest.

It’s important to be somewhat skeptical of such things and we began to ask questions. That’s the proper thing to do. Were there altar servers up there before mass? Was a candle being swung to and fro? Was there a reflection from an overhead light off one of the stained glass windows? The answer is “no” to all of the above.

Jason said his photo was taken before the lights around the altar were turned on and before the candles were lit.

Clergy and church workers are both pleased and puzzled.

One wrote, “We believe angels exist and whether or not this is some sort of photographic glitch doesn’t matter because it gets people talking about religion.”

Amen to that.

Jason posted an anonymous quote on a social site a few days ago: “Sometimes angels are just ordinary people that help us believe in miracles again.” I agree.

Kaye and I have seen miracles in our own family. And we believe.

Do you?

Happy New Year.

Local hoops officials not fond of Binghamton move NYSPHSAA Exec. Council votes to move boy’s tournament out of Glens Falls Civic Center

By Keith Lobdell and Thom Randall keith@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — The Glens Falls Civic Center has been the home to the championship moments of the NYSPHSAA boys basketball tournament since 1981.

But, the buzzer has now sounded on that run.

After the boys basketball committee voted 7-4 in favor of leaving the 2017 through 2019 tournaments in Glens Falls, the executive committee voted 14-8 to move the event to Binghamton.

In 2017, the tournament will be held in Floyd L. Maines Veteran’s Memorial Arena, which has undergone a $2-plus million dollar renovation as part of a continuing effort to win the bid. It beat out the Civic Center as well as the OnCenter War Memorial Arena in Syracuse.

New York State Public High School Athletic Association President Stephen Broadwell said the renovations as well as financial support were part of the decision.

“Based on discussions from around the state and the various sets of eyes that have reviewed the bid proposals, the Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena offers a first class venue including recent renovations, hotels within walking distance, geographic location in the state and they have pledged no charge for arena as well as guaranteed $30,000 to NYSPHSAA to offset expenses,” said Broadwell, the Willsboro Central School Superintendent.

The committee who made the final vote included two representatives from each section, with the voting blocs for Sections II, VII, X and IX favoring Glens Falls. All other sections voted in favor of Binghamton.

“While I do not know each individual Sections rationale for voting as they did, travel tends to be a major consideration for many sections around the State,” Broadwell said. “The closer the state championship is to each section, the less travel, cost and time out of school is faced by school districts.”

Joe Staves, representing PHS, and Patricia Ryan-Curry of Indian Lake, who serves as the President of Section VII, voted on the measure.

“The Section VII Athletic Council reviewed the two bids submitted to the NYSPHSAA and voted for Glens Falls as the site,” Curry said. “As the current president of Section VII, I can tell you that Glens Falls was the preferred site for Section VII due its location, safety of the Glens Falls area, proven record of generated revenue, efficiency of administration of the tournament by local volunteers and the size of the venue.”

Curry said she was upset the executive committee did not follow the basketball committee’s recommendation.

“It is too bad the majority of the NYSPHSAA executive committee didn’t heed the recommendation of the boys basketball committee,” she said. “That committee voted 7-4 for Glens Falls. Three sections voted against their boys basketball committee representative. The boys basketball committee is in place to do what is best for boys basketball. One representative from each of the 11 sections is on the committee, many of whom have been on the committee for years. They and every other sport committee is called on to do what is best for their sport. It is very disappointing their expertise and wisdom was not respected.”

Section VII boys basketball head Brian Cross, who has guided the Moriah Vikings to consecutive Final Four appearances and is hopeful to make it three in a row for the final year of the Civic Center’s tenure as host site, shared in Curry’s frustrations.

“I certainly am not happy, but could read the writing on the wall,” Cross said. “It’s all about the money.”

“Section VII supported the return to Glens Falls Civic Center for Boys Basketball Championships based on the recommendation from the Boys Basketball Committee, the long term success of the tournament at this venue, the positive environment and that was provided in Glens Falls, and the easy access for area teams and fans to attend,” Section VII Executive Director Karen Lopez said. “From a personal perspective the decision is bittersweet because of the many times I was able to attend this championship event and the disappointment felt by North Country fans that regularly attend this annual event. I also sympathize with the Glens Falls and Boys Basketball Committees who put a tremendous amount of time and effort in developing this championship event that was successful in so many ways.

“But, I also have confidence that the people in the Binghamton will provide a wonderful experience for the athletes and teams that make it to the NYSPHSAA Boys Basketball Final Four, which is really what these championship events are about,” Lopez added.

Section II Executive Director Wayne Bertrand said the track record at the Civic Center was a big part of their vote to keep the tournament at the Civic Center.

The Lake George Warriors varsity boys basketball team has won two state titles in the past three years, playing the championship game just 11 miles away from their campus at the Glens Falls Civic Center. If they return to the championships in 2017 through 2019, their travel will increase to 189 miles as they will have to travel to Binghamton.

“By an overwhelming majority our Athletic Council strongly voted for Glens Falls,” Bertrand said. “It has been a long held opinion that the committee has run a great tournament over the years. Personally, I was disappointed by the decision. I have some fond memories of attending games there and watching some great basketball. The bar has been set high for the people in Binghamton.”

Broadwell said Glens Falls will be a welcomed bidder in the next cycle of determining the host site for the boys tournament, which will most likely be awarded in the late fall of 2018.

“Glens Falls has been an excellent host of the NYSPHSAA Basketball Tournament for over 30 years,” Broadwell said.

“The City of Glens Falls, the Civic Center as well as the hundreds of volunteers each year that have helped organize NYSPHSAA State Championships have afforded studentathletes and spectators an outstanding experience. There have been great games on the Glens Falls court as NYS Champions have been crowned. The sport of basketball as well as all of our State Championships provide life-long memories for athletes, fans and communities. Glens Falls has been a wonderful host and I am sure Binghamton will equally provide the same experiences for our student-athletes and schools when they become the host in 2017.”

“Glens Falls has certainly done an amazing job hosting the NYSPHSAA Boys Basketball Championships for the past 35 years,” said Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director.

“I would like to congratulate Binghamton for being selected today by the membership of the association to host this prestigious tournament in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The bidding process utilized by the association is focused on providing all 11 Sections with the opportunity to host NYSPHSAA championships in a fair and transparent fashion.”

Local leaders mourn loss Last week, area officials mourned the loss of the iconic games that have for decades been embraced by area sports enthusiasts.

Warren County Economic Development Corp. President Ed Bartholomew said local sports fans and business owners, tournament volunteers as well as coaches and players from all over the region are saddened by the move. Bartholomew was mayor of Glens Falls when the city’s Civic Center first opened its doors in 1979, and he was a chief advocate of it being built.

“We are very, very disappointed the tournament didn’t stay in Glens Falls,” he said. “The outcome was not unexpected despite the fact that Glens Falls was the top choice of coaches and athletic directors.”

He said Glens Falls was beloved by the high school coaches, players and their parents from across the state because of the warm, welcoming attitude of area businesses, 150-or-so volunteers and thousands of local basketball fans — as well as the city being a safe, pleasant place to stay.

Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty is one of the many dozens of people who have served as volunteers for the tournament. Geraghty has been a scorer at the tournament for more than 15 years.

“We are all disappointed about the move to Binghamton, not only because of all the work local people put into the tournament each year, but because Warren County as a whole has supported it — we’ve dumped $378,000 of local occupancy tax money into the tournament since 2004,” he said. “Everybody in the region will miss it, particularly the volunteers that work for it — There’s a tremendous amount of ‘behind the scenes’ work to make the tournament successful.”

Bartholomew said the tournament has annually generated

about $2 million of revenue for downtown Glens Falls businesses — hotels and motels, restaurants and taverns during a late-winter weekend that would ordinarily be quiet.

Bill Kenny, chairman of the Warren County Occupancy Tax Committee which has granted the tournament its largest annual grant each year, also offered his thoughts about the move to Binghamton. Kenny, a county supervisor from Glens Falls for 18 years, has chaired the Occupancy Tax committee for six years.

“It’s too bad, considering what the championships mean to Glens Falls bars and restaurants — their business booms right out of sight through tournament weekend, and the Queensbury Hotel is always filled up,” he said. “The tournament means a lot to the city and the county’s economy — It will be sorely missed.”

Although local teams are far less likely to be represented in the statewide Federation tournament, community leaders will be working hard to boost attendance, he continued.

The Federation tournament hosts scouts and coaches of some of the most prominent national college teams, Bartholomew noted, due to the outstanding quality of the athletes participating.

“We’ll be upgrading our marketing efforts,” he said, noting that the Federation tournament had annually boosted the economy by about $500,000, or one-quarter the impact of the NYSPHSAA tournament.

Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce President Peter Aust said he and others would be continuing the effort to reclaim the state boys basketball tournament that has been identified with Glens Falls for more than three decades.

“We’re confident we can get the tournament back in Glens Falls,” he said. “We’ll show them we can host the tournament with as much or more success we’ve had in the past — We’re a ‘class act’ here in Glens Falls.”

Bartholomew said that despite the disappointment, volunteers and fans remained enthusiastic about the NYSPHSAA tournament coming up in March.

“We’ll make the 2016 tournament an event to remember, with the theme “Come On Back in 2020!”

Silver lining Bartholomew, Economic & Community Development Director for Glens Falls, said local community leaders who have been working to retain the tournament will be lobbying to have it return to the city after 2019 — but in the meantime, their attention will be focusing on the success of the Federation Tournament of Champions, featuring boys and girls champions in three divisions from NYSPHSAA schools, as well as the top tams of the New York State Association of Independent Schools Athletic Association, the New York City Public Schools Athletic League and the Catholic High School Athletic Association. Glens Falls won the bid to host the Federation tournament, which had left Glens Falls for Albany about five years ago, but it experienced lower attendance in the capital city.

“We’re not saying farewell to the NYSPHSAA tourney — we’ll work very hard to bring it back after three years,” Bartholomew said. “But in the meantime, we’ll be making every effort to make the Federation tournament more attractive to everyone in the region.”

The NYSPHSAA boys basketball championships will be held at the Glens Falls Civic Center Friday, March 11, through Sunday, March 13.

The NYSPHSAA girls basketball championships will be held on the same dates at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy.
