Ski history on film “Old Ski Movie Night” set

State to invest $20m in Whiteface, Gore upgrades Investments, said Gov. Andrew Cuomo, will make facilitates more competitive — but must be paired with private investment

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pledged up to $20 million in state investments for major upgrades to a pair of Adirondack ski resorts.

The improvements to Gore and Whiteface Mountain, announced by the governor in Plattsburgh on Monday, will enhance the current facilities and create modern skiing,

lodging, dining and retail opportunities and year-round activities at the two facilities.

The project will be the first major upgrade at both Whiteface and Gore in 30 years.

Planned upgrades at Whiteface include: • Expanding the Bear Den Lodge and adding a state-of-the-art learning center, bar and restaurant; • Expanding and renovating the Adirondack Base Lodge and parking lot; • Installing a line connecting the Bear Den Learning Center area to the Mid Station; • Building one of the longest zip lines in North America; • Building the longest mountain coaster

in the United States.

And at Gore Mountain: • Expanding seating capacity and modernizing the Saddle Lodge’s facilities and infrastructure; • Adding a third story to the Base Lodge – building corporate meeting room space, additional seating and customer amenities, and expanding the rental shop in the Northwoods Lodge; • Restoring the original 1967 gondola unloading station into a Gore summit warming facility and overlook.

“New York State has Olympic-caliber assets and world-class skiing, but the facilities at Gore and Whiteface are outdated and sub-par,” said Cuomo. “This investment will

transform these resorts into year-round, world-class skiing destinations and attract new skiers and snowboarders from around the globe.”

Modern-day ski resorts are shifting their primary functions from just purely ski and snowboarding based facilities to ones that provide upscale amenities, conveniences and year-round attractions, he said.

When comparing the facilities to other resorts, including Killington, both fall short, he said.

But the funds come with strings attached: The state investment, said the governor, will leverage up to $80 million in private funding. >> See SKI| pg. 19

CementingÊ aÊ historicÊ milestoneÊ atÊ theÊ IndianÊ LakeÊ CommunityÊ Theater The downtown movie house, for most small towns across America is a rapidly fading memory. Not in Indian Lake

By Bill Quinlivan

news@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE — It was a little more than 10 years ago that nearly seven decades of community memories, experiences and life events were shuttered-up inside what had been the Indian Lake Theater.

The movie house closed its doors in late-2006 and threatened to become a memory itself.

The theater, where so many members of and visitors to the Indian Lake Community had special memories, was at risk of ceasing to exist.

These were memories that marked milestone events in the lives of those who frequented the theater.

Memories of having their first job at the theater, holding hands with a loved-one for the first time, sharing a first kiss, enjoying entertainment with friends and family or just spending a quiet time in the darkened room on a rainy afternoon or evening being transported by a film to a special place or becoming a part of an exciting story.

Surely, the shutters were on — but the memories were working overtime. The memories were beginning

to motivate a new chapter in the theater’s history.

Slightly more than two years later on March 6, 2009, a local community organization purchased the 250-seat venue, capping off a 12-week, round-the-clock effort that saw nearly 500 people help to raise $160,000.

The downtown movie house, for most small towns across America is a rapidly fading memory.

But in Indian Lake, a historic theater began a new life nearly 10 years ago in a town with a population of 1,400 — all thanks to the efforts and determination of the surrounding community.

The shutters came off and a non-profit, multipurpose community center was formed into a space for new and classic films, live community theater, concerts and special events for the community.

Continuous refinement of space and capability has most recently been joined by digital technology, allowing The Indian Lake Community Theater to show the latest films coming out of Hollywood as well as the imaginations and efforts of independent filmmakers from around the world.

It has been nearly 10 years since the new chapter in the theater’s life has been started by a determined and committed community, but, as Theater Director Sue Montgomery-Corey. put it: “Progress always comes with a price.” >> See THEATER | pg. 19

Sun Community News to host Boreas Ponds debate Local media outlets to host debate Feb. 2 at Schroon Central to weigh what comes next in Boreas Ponds land classification process

SCHROON — Following the hottest land use debate in decades, the Sun Community News is partnering with the Adirondack Daily Enterprise and the Adirondack Explorer to host a debate on the future of land use discussions in the Adirondack Park.

The debate will be held Thursday, Feb. 2 at the Schroon Lake Central School Auditorium at 6 p.m.

We’ve invited representatives from a wide variety of stakeholder groups to sit on the panel, including the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation, BeWildNY, Access the Adirondacks, Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, as well as local officials and residents.

The Adirondack Park Agency last fall conducted a series of public hearings across the state to solicit public comments for State Land Master Plan classification proposals.

Chief among the parcels was the recently acquired Boreas Ponds Tract in Newcomb and North Hudson, Essex County.

The hearings on the 20,543-acre tract drew

thousands of comments on how the state agency should classify the newly-acquired former timber lands, widely anticipated to be the last in a series of large-scale acquisitions.

Now that the public comment period has ended, and as the APA weighs the evidence before recommending a package to the governor, the forum is your chance to listen to experts weigh-in on what comes next.

This is not a forum for advocacy — all sides have represented their viewpoints— but rather is designed to explore the broader ramifications for land use policy in the Adirondack Park, including flaws in the classification process, as well as any other issues that haven’t been examined during the contentious debate.

The forum will be jointly moderated by the Sun Community News, the Adirondack Daily Enterprise and the Adirondack Explorer.

For more information, contact: John Gereau, Sun Community News — 518-873-6368 ext. 213 | john@suncommunitynews.com Peter Crowley, Adirondack Daily Enterprise — 518-891-2600 ext. 22 | pcrowley@ adirondackdailyenterprise.com Phil Brown, Adirondack Explorer — 518891-9352 ext. 22 | phil@adirondackexplorer. org

Warrensburgh Museum exhibit to feature historical cartoons WARRENSBURG — A new exhibit, “The Toons of Paul Gurney,” coming to the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History.

An observant and talented youth, Paul Gurney drew cartoons of various aspects of life in Warrensburg in the early 20th century, from the classroom to a local barber shop.

He went on to become chief architect and engineer for Montgomery Ward in Chicago, serving in that company from 1934 to his retirement in 1969.

During that time he also served in World War II, achieving the rank of major in the 393rd Engineers. He served in England, France, Belgium and Germany.

Following his retirement, he corresponded with Kathleen Goodman, a correspondent at the Warrensburg News, resulting in a serious of pen and ink drawings and lengthy descriptions of the people and events pictured, now the material for this exhibit.

Ski history to be subject of North Creek film series “Old Ski Movie Night” to be held Feb. 11 at Tannery Pond

By Bill Quinlivan

news@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH CREEK — The North Creek Railway Depot Preservation Association will hold its second “Old Ski Movie Night” fundraising event at the Tannery Pond Community Center on Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m.

The films were produced and filmed in the 1930’s by William Gluesing, one of the early promoters of Gore Mountain skiing.

Gluesing was also renowned for his work on General Electric “House of Magic” during the 1933 World’s Fair.

Gluesing’s films were shown as far away as New York City to promote the early snow trains and skiing in the North Creek region.

Titles this year include “Ride Up-Slide Down,” “White Ecstasy,” and “First Snow Train.”

There will be a brief introduction by Greg Schaefer, the event’s organizer, to discuss how the trails developed and where they were located in relation to the current terrain.

While some of these films were shown last year and are being brought back by popular demand, additional videos have been added to this year’s event.

Admission is $5 and $2 for children under 12.

All funds raised at this event, including a raffle for skirelated items, will help sustain the North Creek Depot Museum.

The museum focuses on several aspects of local history, including the history of the snow trains and the development of skiing at Gore Mountain, the original Thomas Durant “Adirondac” Railroad and its effect on the region; the

story of Theodore Roosevelt’s midnight ride to the presidency, and D&H Railroad history.

Refreshments will be served.

“The event last year was a sellout so patrons are encouraged to get tickets ahead of time,” said Schaefer.

Pre-sale tickets are available at Community Bank in North Creek. For more information, contact Schaefer at 518-2515451.

Horicon potluck on tap HORICON — The Horicon Historical Society potluck dinner is slated for Jan. 28 at the Horicon Community Center at 5 p.m. Bring a dish, eat and enjoy music from Horicon’s own Colleen Cleveland. For more information, or to let organizers know what dish you will be bringing, call MaryAnn Hill at 494-2056.

Thurman CEO resigns, town board member follows

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

ATHOL — Town supervisor Evelyn Wood and councilman Jey Youngblood resigned this week, leaving three board members — Mike Eddy, Cynthia Hyde and Kathy Templeton — to manage and conduct town business on their own.

Mid-day Jan. 20, Wood delivered a fourpage resignation letter to the town hall, citing that the board’s new majority was obstructing or reversing progress in town. The letter also accuses the three board members of unethical or illegal behavior, including breaking state Open Government laws and mishandling taxpayers money — and cash that residents donated to a charity.

Ten days earlier, those three board members met with town attorney Mark Schachner privately to discuss resolutions — without notifying Wood, Youngblood or the public — a move Wood and former board members said afterwards was a violation of state laws.

In her resignation letter, Wood predicted that the new board majority’s disregard for the law and misconduct would cost the taxpayers dearly in legal fees and obstruct progress.

“I am convinced this is the worst and most destructive board I’ve ever seen,” Wood said in her letter, citing various actions of Templeton, Hyde and Eddy.

Wood’s letter said that $7,000 in proceeds from the sale of garbage bags was unaccounted for during Hyde’s recent tenure as Town Clerk. According to town policy, the clerk collects money for the bags. Wood said later Friday that the cash shortfall was discovered by state auditors, and their audit report is expected within two months. Wood’s letter also said that Hyde had in 2014 refused to provide details about the discrepancy.

After the Jan. 20 meeting, Hyde disputed the allegation of the mishandling of the garbage bag proceeds.

“I assure you, I am not a thief,” Hyde said.

Wood’s letter also accused Eddy of conflict of interest in serving as the caretaker of the Moeller family property off Bear Pond Road, since the Moellers are suing the town, claiming the road is theirs, not the town’s. Wood said Eddy erected a gate on the road, blocking public access, and town highway workers took it down, and Eddy summoned the police to have Wood arrested, which they declined to do. She has asserted that there is plenty of legal documentation that the road is indeed a town road, and public access is vital for other property owners there. She has warned that

the Moeller’s lawsuit is likely to cost taxpayers a hefty sum.

She also said that Eddy has been obstructing the town’s efforts to cooperate with the state Department of Environmental Conservation in rectifying contamination of groundwater by road salt on properties adjacent to the town garage.

Delay in delivering jack Wax proceeds Wood’s letter also criticizes Templeton, who conducted the town’s charitable Jack Wax Party in March, for her nine-month delay in turning over the proceeds of the fundraiser to the American Cancer Society. The agency had contacted the board in early December, saying they hadn’t yet received the money as expected.

At the Dec. 13 board meeting, Wood questioned Templeton about the issue, mandating that she turn over the proceeds within three days and provide the board with documentation on donations and expenses. Two days later, Templeton delivered more than $2,000 in cash to the Cancer Society. At the Dec. 13 meeting, the board voted to replace Templeton as the organizer of the Jack Wax Party and appointed Susan Shepler, at that time a board member, to take her place.

Wood and other former town board members have also claimed that the full accounting of all the donations has not yet been made. Reports have been heard that donors were asked to make out their checks to “Cash,” and they were deposited in Templeton’s personal bank account.

Friday, Templeton denied the allegations, reiterating her Dec. 13 assertion that she had sent a check to the Cancer Society.

“I mailed the check, but apparently it didn’t get there — I wasn’t aware of a problem until the meeting ,” she said, adding that no checks she received from the public as donations were deposited in her account. But former town board member Gail Seaman, ousted by Templeton in the November election, said early this week that she had in her possession a cancelled check of a $50 donation that bears evidence it was deposited into Templeton’s personal account.

Jan. 16, Warren County Sheriff Bud York said his office was actively investigating the situation.

Controversy erupts at meeting The Jan. 20 town board meeting began with former town board member Susan Shepler presiding in her continuing role of Deputy Supervisor, and the board reviewed town finances.

In the November election, Shepler lost her seat

to Hyde. Wood was not present for the Jan. 20 meeting.

Minutes later, Hyde proposed a motion to eliminate the Deputy Supervisor post, prompting objections from the audience.

“What’s the purpose?” One citizen shouted.

“I raise the same question, why now?”

Youngblood responded. He cited the need for an individual to be ready to respond to a town emergency when the town Supervisor was unavailable. Eddy said the board could convene and delegate someone if that were to occur.

Youngblood responded that such a procedure would take too much time, compromising public safety.

Eddy, Hyde and Templeton, however, voted to scrap the post, and Shepler stood up and left her seat — and the audience gave her a standing ovation.

Soon after, Eddy made a motion that Hyde chair the meeting, and Hyde, Templeton and Eddy approved the measure. Youngblood voted No. The board then voted to give Hyde authority to disburse the payroll and sign checks for the upcoming week.

Soon afterwards, Youngblood read a letter of resignation, saying he sought to find solutions to the town’s problems by bridging differences and avoiding politics.

“I did not anticipate that trying to do something good for the town would create such conflict and war — and town folks have been at war for some time.”

His statement cited some residents’ fear and resistance to change, and conflict between people pursuing self-interests versus others who seek what is best for the town.

Leaving his seat at the board table, Youngblood also received a standing ovation from the audience.

Hyde called for a meeting to be held at 7 p.m.

Thursday Jan. 26 to discuss “any issues that face the town.”

Change in town assessor sought Two days before the meeting, it was revealed what those issues were, as eight proposed resolutions were posted on the town’s website. Those proposals include rescinding a recent motion to appoint Christian Holt as Thurman’s Sole Assessor, and appointing former town head assessor Thomas “Tuck” Birdsall to the post, and naming Susan Baker, another former town assessor, as his assistant.

The town board, in its former composition, had converted to a sole assessor, and named Holt to the post The change was prompted over some residents’ concerns that there were huge

disparities in property assessments, with some native Thurmanites’ property being vastly undervalued, while newcomers’ property was overvalued. People have also complained that some residents’ home’s weren’t even on the assessors’ inventory — including a two-story resid on some land Eddy owns, and a structure on property Hyde owns.

After the Jan. 20 meetig, Eddy responded to the allegation.

“They must be talking about my place on Sugarloaf Mountain,” he said. “I assure you, I pay taxes on all my property.”

Another proposed resolution slated for discussion Jan. 26 is for the town to pay lodging for two town board members at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York City, while they undertake training sessions.

Also posted are resolutions declaring the town has two seats open on the town board and three open posts on the town Board of Assessment Review, citing that letters of interest will be accepted through Feb. 2.

After the meeting, some residents said they were disappointed with Wood’s resignation.

Wood brought wireless “white space” broadband to portions of her remote rural town, securing a $200,000 state grant to have it established. Eddy and others had initially criticized the project, claiming it wasn’t a viable technology. Later, when it was indeed providing reliable high-speed internet access, Eddy continued to attack the project, citing high costs to taxpayers, but Wood has produced figures showing that the broadband service is being supported by subscribers.

Otther issues that have prompted political backlash include the former board’s decision to pay Warrensburg EMS to respond to ambulance calls rather than Thurman’s squad, which had lost its medical director and couldn’t get Advanced Life Support certification. Wood and regional EMS officials estimated at the time that to fund the squad so it could properly serve the public, town taxes would increase by as much as 35 percent.

More controversy erupted when Wood and the Former board voted to discontinue municipal trash pickup, a service which was predicted to increase in costs, as equipment needed replacement. The board opted to discontinue it to stay under the state tax cap.

Also, some residents resented how Wood sought to adhere strictly to state and federal laws.

Wood, who began her tenure in 2010, was renowned for her tireless work on behalf of townspeople, as well as her round-the-clock work during the devastating 2011 flood that devastated town roads, bridges and culverts.

Y

es, football is on my mind as I write today on Championship Sunday as four NFL teams battle for the chance to represent their conference in the Superbowl. My childhood team lost last weekend, but I love the game and will still be glued to the set and rooting. But today I’m also thinking about the activities of the last few days as our nation dealt with the Inauguration of President Trump.

So many images and comments from the past weekend leave many Americans with mixed emotions on how to interpret what we saw, heard and witnessed.

Let’s start with the national media. Over the last eight years it’s been widely accepted that the media tends to lean to the left, thus playing the role of defending the previous administration. Mr. Obama made it clear that organizations like FOX News leaned overtly right and thus went out of its way, offensively, to attack his administration and its policies.

As we move forward it would seem evident that those roles will now be reversed. If that is what we witness over time, and the jury is still out, we would have further truth of clear media bias thus jading what we can believe coming out of either side.

The reason for saying the jury is out is the same reason I urge individuals to give the new president time to show his true intent before assuming, as many have, that he is the next Hitler.

Clearly everyone has the right to their own opinion and their right to protest, but as I look at the country’s landscape on social media I see so many friends, neighbors and even family on both sides, still fighting about an election that is now long over. President Trump was sworn into office and I can’t even begin to imagine what four years of this continued fighting will do to our country and our children.

Ben Carson said it best when he commented that wishing President Trump’s Administration fails badly is like wishing the pilot of the plane in which you are flying crashes.

This version of America is not the one my family handed down to me.

Throughout life optimism, hope and a can do attitude was always front and center, both at home and at school. >> See ALEXANDER | pg. 7

GUEST VIEWPOINT

The Adirondacks and Jack Ma L China’s

ast week, government and busiCOMMENTARY ness leaders from around the world met in Davos, Switzerland to attend the annual World Economic Forum.

Every year, Davos provides a venue to discuss the vital economic interests of our world and offer solutions to some of our And his 30/30/30 initiative largest economic challenges.

One of the forward thinking speakers at Jay White the forum was Jack Ma, founder and exColumnist ecutive chairman of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce giant. Mr. Ma, being China’s wealthiest individual, may at first be an unlikely source of tangible economic advice for those of us living in Essex County.

But I believe further scrutiny of his ideas may be worth considering.

Mr. Ma’s relevance to our local economy appears to be three fold.

First, he has invested in the region by buying the former Rockefeller preserve, Brandon Park. His purchase of this 28,000 acre tract was for the purposes of conservation, becoming one of the largest land stewards within our Adirondack Park.

Second, he is among the new “Agri-Tech Nerds” in China, where technology titans are making significant investments in agriculture.

These “nerds” seek to use technology to reshape the economics of food production and find more affordable ways to bring quality food to market.

Third, he is a true believer in the future. Last week in Davos, Ma said “the next 30 years are critical for the world,” suggesting that we are halfway through the latest technological revolution.

The last 20 years have been about the development of technology, he said, whereas the next 30 will be about dealing with “the implications of this technology.”

Within the next 30 years, Ma suggests we need to focus on the 30 year olds

Bill Gates

— the internet generation. He believes they will be the builders of our world, bringing about more significant change than we have seen in a generation. And because nearly two thirds of all jobs are created by small businesses, he suggests we need to focus on businesses with less than 30 employees.

For Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County, the connection between these ideas and our local economy could not be clearer. First, consider the mission of the CCE system: “Cornell Cooperative Extension puts knowledge to work in pursuit of economic vitality, ecological sustainability and social well-being. We bring local experience and research based solutions together, helping New York State families and communities thrive in our rapidly changing world.”

Mr. Ma’s 30 years, 30 year olds, 30 employees vision appears, unwittingly, to be playing out here in Essex County in the re-emerging agricultural sector. And the CCE mission is helping play a part in supporting this trend.

Young farmers are gravitating to our area with a significant commitment to sustainability and entrepreneurship. This tech savvy generation of small business owners is demonstrating the Ma theory in real time. In starting innovative farming operations in our area, these “agri-preneurs” are demonstrating that agriculture is once again becoming an important industry sector in Essex County.

Moving forward, CCE is committed to providing the most advanced support necessary to help our local agricultural producers become regional and statewide leaders. Through the creation of more agricultural small businesses and corresponding jobs, we can make Essex County more economically sustainable.

Through the development of a new five year strategic plan, CCE is committed this year to identifying the most significant needs of our local agricultural community. One action already taken is the hiring of a new fulltime agriculture educator who will provide our farmers with the most current and valuable information available.

With Mr. Ma’s 30/30/30 guidance in mind, CCE is poised to help lead Essex County agriculture to new heights.

Jay White is president of the Board of Directors for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County.

LETTERS

LetterÊ containsÊ anti-SemiticÊ language To the Editor: I don’t know if you realize it, but you have been publishing classic anti-Semitic [language] from a man named Gary Guido. In his latest letter, he claims that “Jews” gave $75 million to Trump (that will be news to Trump) and he is forging an alliance with the president of Israel so we will send troops to fight for Israel. No Nazi could have said it better.

If this is the intellectual level of your regular readers, God knows what you’ll be publishing next.

John Gardner Essex

JohnÊ LewisÊ aÊ usefulÊ idiot To the Editor: As a Roman Catholic, I am supposed to hinge on every word that the Pope utters — even as he goes off the trails, as this Pope has on numerous occasions.

This is because some people are just too great to point out their errors. But he is just a man, no matter what his position is.

This brings me to John Lewis and his stupid remarks about President Trump.

The Russians did not make Trump president. By calling Trump an illegitimate president, Mr. Lewis is being what Lenin called a useful idiot.

He can’t even see how he is playing into Putin’s hands.

Yes! President Trump should have handled this differently, but he didn’t.

Now I realize that Mr. Lewis is a great civil rights icon. But does that mean he is perfect and all his pronouncement are above reproach? Are we not allowed to disagree with him?

With the failure of inner city schools, more blacks in poverty, unemployment rates sky high for blacks and the murder and abortion rates among blacks at genocidal levels. It would seem Mr. Lewis would have better served his people talking about that. This does beg the question: what has Mr. Lewis been doing the last 30 years? These are the things President Trump has talked about and wants to find solutions to. But instead of working with the new president, Mr. Lewis plans on fighting him at every turn. How does this help anyone?

Now I get to be called a racist again because I am treating Mr. Lewis just the same as I would treat anyone else I thought was wrong.

Neither Mr. Lewis or the Pope walk on water and both should be ready to be reminded of that fact.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TrumpÕ sÊ Ô post-factualÕ Ê healthÊ careÊ planÊ To the Editor: President Trump promised a healthcare replacement plan that’s “far less expensive and far better” than Obamacare. It’ll cover more people, with lower deductibles, retain coverage for adult children on their parents’ policies, and eliminate individual mandates while still covering preexisting conditions.

His plan will permit the purchase of out-of-state medical insurance — currently federally legal, but we can pretend it’s not.

Mr. Trump says this incredible plan is nearly complete. But, as with other things he won’t show us (his taxes, his secret plan to defeat ISIS) there’s a catch: He won’t reveal his plan until the Health and Human Services nominee, the aptly named Mr. Price, endures his gauntlet of committee-hearing grandstanding and is confirmed by the Senate.

After Mr. Trump commended the New York Times for “pretty accurately” reporting on his plan, their editorial board criticized his “breathtaking ignorance about health care and the Affordable Care Act.” So, who cares what they think?

He boldly promised to deliver, in months, what GOP leaders couldn’t do in a decade: Create a “terrific” replacement for Obamacare. Only the old-school, reality-based critics say Mr. Trump’s plan (if it even exists) is irrelevant because it’s not legislation.

These critics are dismissed as sore-loser snowflakes who can’t appreciate the brilliance that a real businessman and his ten-billion dollar administration brings to Washington.

Mr. Trump assures us that, even though it’s “complicated stuff,” he’s got really smart people working on this, as opposed to Obama’s presumably transgender communists and Sharia law partners. And he’s no wuss, he can certainly kick Congress into action with a motivating locker room speech.

The forceful intelligence of our new leader will inspire Congress to close ranks on a replacement plan, satisfying all mutually exclusive parameters. He’s done the heavy lifting, they simply have to draft a bill, hold House and Senate committee hearings, debate it, find eight Democratic senators willing to break a filibuster, pass bills in each chamber, negotiate any differences in conference, then pass the amended bill. Quickly, because Mr. Trump also has executive orders to cancel, a wall to build, taxes to cut, immigrants to deport, pipelines to approve, treaties to renegotiate and trade wars — perhaps shooting wars — to start.

If you are skeptical, it’s only because you can’t embrace post-factualism and the new Land of Make-Believe.

Earlier this month, Vice President Pence turned up the schedule pressure. On “day one” the “first order of business will be to repeal and replace Obamacare.”

At a bizarre press conference a week later Mr. Trump stated that repeal and replace must be done “essentially, simultaneously.” Congressional Republicans are scrambling to rise to the challenge and think outside the box. Well, I’m happy to help.

How about expanding on that idea of purchasing out-ofstate health insurance? Canada is right next door. Give us the option to buy their healthcare plan.

The Canadian system covers everyone and everything, with no copays. They have better medical outcomes than we do — at half the cost. Montreal General Hospital is a two-hour drive, same as UVM-Medical Center.

We can still retain that post-factual, make-believe option for the diehards — who can expect to do just that... after bankrupting their families in the process.

ThoseÊ whoÊ donÕ tÊ rememberÊ theÊ pastÊ areÊ doomedÊ toÊ repeatÊ it To the Editor: Joe DeMarco submitted a letter to the editor in which he included a passage from “Mein Kampf,” Hitler’s political manifesto or blueprint for what became a horrendous reality.

A profound and prophetic utterance from a madman, who was also Time’s Man of the Year in 1938.

Amazing how his rhetoric is somehow validated over 80 years later? Incredible how this new political figure could manipulate the educated masses with propaganda, lies and distortion.

A crafty “spin doctor” used just two forms of contemporary media (newspapers and radio) to accomplish this and spread this distorted news. Just think how their “fake news” wasn’t spread on social media like ours is today?

Tragic what was accomplished then without it!

How and why could this occur to a technological and civilized nation?

My summary of this excerpt is simple: People see only what they want to see, hear what they want to hear and believe almost anything!

It seems humans are addicted to sensationalism in a maca-

bre kind of way. Proof of this can be substantiated. Just look at social media and how much fake news became truth to the gullible believers in 2016.

Remember how political “news” infiltrated the presidential campaign?

Events like these always remind me of this famous quotation from George Santayana (1863-1952): “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

TrumpÊ hasÊ Ô maturityÊ of Ê aÊ disturbedÊ teenagerÕ To the Editor: In response to Jerry Kelly’s letter about poor losers, and all the other references elsewhere of the same sort: Mr. Kelly’s final comment that it’s “too bad that we are setting such a poor example of who we are to the rest the world” indicates that he is apparently not aware that most foreign governments and their citizenry are laughing themselves silly at what an insane thing the U.S. has done — that is, when they are not lost in fear of the huge harm that President Trump can, and likely will, wreak on the whole world.

You don’t get that this response is so unique because a person with the maturity of a disturbed teenager is now our President.

Now, I know that those of you who elected him don’t see him this way, I don’t expect that protest or any other actions are likely to change your minds. But it’s hard to believe that you don’t understand the grave danger that we see, and the need to demonstrate the severity of what we fear, not only to ourselves, but to the rest of the world.

You know that Hitler was an evil person but you don’t seem to realize the parallels of personality and communication patterns with those of Mr. Trump. That you cannot see this makes the situation all that much scarier.

Congratulations to Mr. Trump for doing the unthinkable by winning this election. But God help us, Hitler came to power in a similar fashion, and created a government that excelled in killing Jewish people and all others that in their opinion were sub human. Not to mention starting World War II. You don’t see this, but we do. It looks like the numbers of people who are dedicated to resist him every step of the way is growing. And that’s what the protests are all about.

PropertyÊ taxÊ capÊ takesÊ awayÊ homeÊ rule To the Editor: Reading the article “Cuomo on taxes” (The Valley News Sun, Jan. 21) I would like to point out some data that anyone can obtain from the Essex County Real Property webpage.

I do not agree with Gov. Andrew Cuomo and our elected state representatives who supported the two percent tax cap of local government. It takes away home rule. Also, the large counties downstate do not have to comply with the two percent cap.

In the article, the Clinton County manager states that the Clinton County tax rate has increased only by half of one percent in the past five years.

Chairman of the Essex County Budget committee, Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, who I believe is still paid an extra salary for preparing the annual county budget, states that in 2017, the Essex County tax rate is $3.25 per $1,000, being one of the lower rates in New York State.

Editor’s note: Scozzafava was not quoted as stating this. The data was included as a matter of public record.

In the past five years, the Essex County tax rate has gone up about 38 percent. Under tax cap law, it should have been about 10 percent. The amount to be raised by county tax rate is established by differences in the expenditure of the budget and income.

The 2017 budget amount to be raised by land taxes is about $21 million, an increase of about $2 million more than 2016.

If you would check the Essex County tax assessment for the past 5 years, you will see the county assessments value have gone up about $9.5 million.

The Essex County budget has increased over 30 percent in the last five years, whereas under the two percent cap it should have been about 10 percent.

The county sold the nursing home for $4 million because it was losing $2 million a year. In the past five years, the county raised the sale tax, garbage fee 20 percent and added a new tax on rental property and yet this year the tax rate will go up 3.75 percent.

Property owners who had an assessment increase will have higher taxes. Tom also stated that the sharing of services by the towns was going well. Yet the county highway department does not do shared services with other towns.

Editor’s note: Scozzafava was also not quoted as saying

sharing services was “going well,” but rather that the county has been sharing services for years without getting credit from the state.

Shared services with town and county would not only save tax money but would give better use of the tax dollars. Many Essex County towns will be due to review their assessment programs and meet the subject increases of land assessment

by New York State.

Essex County taxpayers should be meeting with the assessors to see about their increase in tax assessment.

DemonstratingÊ ourÊ dissentÊ isÊ notÊ Ô whiningÕÊ To the Editor: The letter last week from Dianne Iasevoli of Brant Lake was not only great penmanship but also a mind-blowing show of morality.

Americans have had an eye opener with the election of Trump, who spoke many words that were far from moral.

His supporters write letters telling those that didn’t vote for Trump to stop whining. They don’t speak of their gloating and lies they spread during the election.

Don’t get me wrong, as I believe those who voted for Trump have a right to celebrate as their man won. Unfortunately, some are carrying on in a manner that isn’t moral and Dianne Iasevoli laid it out in her letter.

One must not give up how they feel and just line up like sheep heading to slaughter. One’s beliefs are sacred and there is nothing wrong with those who don’t have warm fuzzy feelings about a Trump presidency!

As I write this letter, the ceremonies are getting underway to make Trump our president and thousands are there to cheer him along with thousands who are demonstrating against him. This is America, and demonstrating one’s feelings is a right and it is not “whining”!

People are scared and rightfully so, as millions are about to lose their health care and companies are gearing up to take more rights away from workers.

The billionaires Trump has put up for major positions have no idea what workers in Ticonderoga, Port Henry and the other towns of the North Country do to make ends meet and feed their families.

With several pension systems underfunded many will lose or have their pensions cut. The nominee for treasury secretary was asked what he would do to save these pension systems.

His answer was: “I will do my best to help businesses!” He has no intention of helping those with incomes under $200,000 and I don’t believe many in the North Country make this amount of money.

When they dismantle the ACA or “Obamacare” those making over $200,000 will receive a tax break and not one person under this will receive a cent of relief.

It is unfortunate that many people won’t read a newspaper to ferret out the true story of what is happening in our country. I have many friends who rely on hearsay for their news and know nothing of what is happening in our country or the world. Americans have to educate themselves and reading is the best educator.

I thank Dianne Iasevoli for her letter on morality and I do hope others see the wisdom of her words. Her closing words “the constitution has given me the tools to express myself and to hold elected officials accountable” speaks loudly and it is the fiber of our Republic.

I have my doubts about President Trump, but then again, I have had doubts about every president, as this is my right.

God Bless America.

Gary Philip Guido Ticonderoga

Alexander From page 6

Hard work, a strong value system, fair play and self dependence was a winning formula in the America I was raised to believe.

Protest and defiance will only bring more protest and even greater defiance and to what ultimate end?

We are not at war with ourselves, or are we?

Will those who oppose the current Administration burn down the government as one protest speaker claims she dreams about? Would we really prefer to see this country destroyed rather than live in a country where the person you did not vote for is in office?

In my weekly writing I can assure you when the President’s polices for the country are enacted I will try to show why I am opposed or in favor of them as I’ve done during President Obama’s term in office. But in fairness know that I will always be in favor of what I think is best for the country regardless of party politics and will do my best to point out those who obstruct for the simple sake of obstructing.

Never stop fighting

O

n Jan. 16, 1938, jazz musician Benny Goodman played at New York City’s Carnegie Hall for the first time.

Goodman was the first jazz musician to play in the famed venue — a booking that seems relatively normal now.

In the ‘30s, the concert caused quite a stir.

At the time, Carnegie Hall was reserved primarily for classical music. Highbrow stuff. Jazz was considered wild — the rock and roll of its day.

As the story goes, when Goodman’s agent suggested he play at the venue, he laughed it off.

Yet when tickets went on sale — $2.75 for the prime seats, equivalent to roughly $50 now — the show sold out fast, weeks before the historic night.

This week, to all the local musicians out there, I say: just because it has not been done before, does not mean you can’t do it. Be innovative. Be ever-evolving. Never stop fighting.

To everyone else: support your local venue. Benny Goodman started off in local clubs before he made it to Carnegie Hall. It’s important to make sure that our hometown musicians have a place to start.

There are a few concerts this week. Check them out: The Nick Schnebelen Band will perform at the Champlain Wine Company in Plattsburgh on Jan. 15.

Frontier Town master plan for the future revealed Gov. Andrew Cuomo rolls out preliminary plans for ‘Gateway to the Adirondacks’

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — The governor has opened up about the proposal that would transform the abandoned Frontier Town theme park into a gleaming new tourism hub.

“It’s a sad story now, but we are going to invest in it because we believe we have the volume and we want to build a gateway to the Adirondacks at that spot,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo Monday in Plattsburgh.

Earlier this month, the state pledged to invest up to $32 million to transform the former theme park into a visitors center, complete with trails, a campground, equestrian offerings, retail space and other recreational amenities.

The remarks were the first Cuomo has made publicly about the project, which had been kept under wraps for months as Essex County hammered out details with the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the Open Space Institute.

The governor’s office revealed the master plan for the site following his speech at Plattsburgh International Airport, also the home of a multi-million upgrade.

The blueprints, designed by Chazen Companies, depict an artist’s rendering of the property, which is located off the Adirondack Northway about 100 miles north of Albany.

The early images depict a series of lowslung structures nestled in the foothills of the mountains.

The plan contains an inventory of existing structures on the county-owned parcel, permitting info and proposed amenities, strategies and guiding concepts.

The document also contains a list of possible partnerships and collaborative opportunities for local stakeholders, including local vintners, breweries and a yurt company.

One local business, Paradox Brewery, has announced a $2.7 million investment at the site, a measure that will create 22 new jobs.

Cuomo said he hoped more private investment would be sparked by the anchor.

“And I believe it will just make the case and promote everything else we are doing,” Cuomo said. “Gore, Whiteface, the tourism, the hiking trail, Boreas Pond, put all of that package together, and again it can be an international destination site.”

The governor also announced up to $20 million in state investment at Gore and Whiteface Mountains to renovate outdated infrastructure.

PLANNING UNDERWAY Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston spent nearly three hours touring the parcel Monday with DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos.

“He was very excited about what he saw,” Preston said. “It was good to see that type of enthusiasm from him — he really was engaged.”

Shuttered since 1998, many of the structures have disintegrated into the landscape.

But some of those may still be saved.

“Renovating those structures are really going to help make this place really unique,” Preston said.

North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore said the project is still in the initial stages, and the master plan doesn’t reflect a final document.

“The next part of the process will be the county will have to subdivide the property into essentially what is along Route 9 where Paradox Brewery intends to relocate,” Moore said. “So it’s really just continued planning at

this phrase.”

Details also need to be hammered out between the state and the town, who owns a stretch of property where the DEC intends to construct their campground.

Another swath of the property is under private ownership, including the A-Frame that has become the theme park’s most identifiable structure.

State lawmakers said they were confident that the $32 million would not be stripped from the budget, which Cuomo rolled out last week.

“I’m pretty confident in that,” state Sen. Betty Little told the Sun last week.

“That Frontier Town exit just doesn’t give you a lot of hope that there’s a lot going on in North Country — it just looks abandoned when you pass by,” Little said. “I think it’s an exciting proposal and it really would help the economy in that area.”

Other officials hailed the project as one that would stimulate the economy and trigger year-round jobs, a rarity in the seasonal economy.

“This exciting project has the potential to draw thousands of visitors to North Hudson to connect to the amazing recreation opportunities in this area of the Park,” said Assemblyman Dan Stec.

EMPIRE STATE TRAIL The proposal joins a number of other measures designed to keep a sustained focus on

North Country tourism, including the completion of a multi-use greenway trail by 2020 that would run from Albany and up through the Champlain Valley before terminating at the Canadian border.

That 196-mile stretch, which is about halfway completed, would ideally draw visitation to communities along the route, Cuomo said.

“Here in the North Country, the trail will go through really amazing attractions and will connect them all,” Cuomo said. “The trail, you can hike it, you can walk it, you can bicycle ride the trail, but it really is a template to bring all of our tourism actions together.”

The state already owns most of the land, said the governor, who is asking state lawmakers for $52 million to complete the first phase.

Once the final 750-mile effort is wrapped up, the trail will be the largest of its kind in the nation.

NEW FRONTIER: Pictured above are artist renderings for the proposed Gateway to the Adirondacks at the Frontier Town site in North Hudson. Gov. Andrew Cuomo released the plans following a visit to Plattsburgh on Monday, Jan. 23, 2017.

Seneca Ray Stoddard, a man of genius Photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard was a widely known and respected man in this area, a traveler and writer. He lived and flourished more than a hundred years ago and his name and reputation survive, even today, as he was a legendary photographer whose great love for the Adirondacks showed in his fine work around the turn of the century. He was born May 13, 1844 in Wilton, Saratoga County, New York.

As a young man, Mr. Stoddard went to Troy where he started his chosen trade which consisted of interior decorating as applied principally to railway coaches and before long, in 1864 when he was twenty years old, he moved to Glens Falls where he would live out the rest of his life. He lived at 17 Harlem Street and his studio was on Exchange Street, just around the corner from South Street, in downtown Glens Falls.

For over fifty years, he traveled the Adirondacks to record life as it was lived in those days. Little existing in those times, beside the land and the mountains, may be seen today. Seneca Ray was a hard worker, an artist, civil engineer and map maker and utilized every means possible to further his chosen ca-

reer in advertising and photography. His maps of Lake George and the Adirondacks are models of artistic treatment and are accepted as being exceptionally accurate. Many a picture on stereoscope or stereopticon came from his camera.

It should be noted that the cameras of that era were heavy, cumbersome and used clumsy glass plates, not at all like the fine cameras we have today and it is recalled that he built much of his equipment himself. Primitive travel over many dirt roads to out of the way areas with his equipment must have been quite a chore in getting to some of the remote places in the Adirondacks for which he is famous for recording and travel must have been taxing indeed.

He made his first trip through the Adirondacks in 1872 and the following year his first guide book appeared which he continued to issue every year thereafter up to and including the 1915 edition.

For more than half a century, Seneca Ray preached the glories of this great Adirondack North Country by means of his camera and pen in poetry and song and on the lecture platform, in guide and art books, by map and by chart which he had given to the atlas much knowledge of the region which he so much loved and glorified.

The “Northern Monthly” published in 1906-8 was yet another periodical devoted to community and many Adirondack interests.

Lake George snakes recalled Mr. Stoddard was known for his colorful writing. On July 29, 1856 the boat, John Jay, was nearing the Waltonian Islands north of Hague on Lake George and a fire broke out in her boiler room. The fire raged out of control and the pilot headed toward a beach south of the Island Harbor House with the intention of running aground. He missed his target and the boat hit a rock ledge and bounced back into deep water, burned to the water line and sunk. Six people lost their lives in the tragedy.

According to the book, “History of Warren County New York,” Seneca Ray Stoddard wrote of the incident, “‘Old Dick’ who for several years wandered up and down the lake with his box of ‘Rattell Snacks’ at ‘six pents site’ was aboard when

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

the boat struck. The box containing the ‘snacks’ was washed ashore with a little girl clinging to one end, while from the loosened trap-door at the other end the heads of the reptiles were lifted up, swaying and moving about as they were tossed by the waves until the box grounded when they glided over the side, across the beach and disappeared in the thicket.”

Born fearless and ambitious In 1894, always ready to take on a new challenge and to do something different, Seneca Ray made his first long trip which was to Alaska and in 1896 he went to the Holy Land.

Next he traveled to Russia and the Orient. In 1913 he worked alone and made a last big effort and completed an art book in commemoration of the Warren County Centennial which today is a classic.

After a valiant fight, Seneca Ray died at 2 o’clock in the afternoon on April 26, 1917 and he nearly rounded out a full three years more than the span of three score and ten years.

He had been ill for nearly two years before he died and with each year he became progressively weaker. He had been confined to his house since Christmas. Finally, like a old clock running down, at the age of 72 years, he gave up and gently, peacefully fell into his last long sleep.

Seneca’s home life Seneca Ray was married twice. His first wife was Helen Augusta, the daughter of Thomas A. Potter, a former resident of Glens Falls.

She was a photographer, publisher and well known artist.

The couple had two sons, Charles H. Stoddard, a lawyer and LeRoy R. Stoddard, a physician. Both sons later resided in New York city. Helen A. Stoddard, 56, died at her home on Sunday morning, Oct. 27, 1906, in Glens Falls.

In 1908 he married Miss Emily Doty, of Glens Falls, with whom he also had two sons.

He is buried beside her in the Pine View Cemetery, on the corner of Glen Street and Quaker Road, in Queensbury. Their graves are modest and unassuming. I have seen their plot several times.

Seneca Ray is said to have been a good and sturdy friend and saw only the good in people. He lived an unselfish life which was believed by those who knew him well would guarantee a speedy advent to the Great Beyond.

Designer, Developer, Dreamer: Durant, William West

F

rom the 19th century to present day, the Adirondack region has seduced many with its charms of wild scenic beauty, natural resources, adventure sports, quiet and isolation and promise of wealth. William West Durant was a 19th century speculator who hoped to make his fortune here by attracting the super rich to purchase his luxurious summer homes.

The son of North Creek’s Dr. Thomas C. Durant, vice president of the 1869 Union Pacific Transcontinental Railroad, William West Durant was educated abroad in England and Germany. There he became familiar with the refined tastes of European aristocracy. Later in life he would incorporate the designs of fabulous European hunting lodges into his own style of architecture, which would become known as “Adirondack Great Camps.”

By the 1880s, Dr. T.C. Durant and his family had acquired almost 700,000 acres of Adirondack land. Son William had the responsibility of managing the vast acreage. William’s financial dream was to build

www.suncommunitynews.com

and develop huge baronial estates complete with main lodges, dining halls, working farms, tennis courts, golf courses, greenhouses, docks and boathouses.

Famous Great Camps designed and built by W.W. Durant include Pine Knot, Uncas, Sagamore, and Eagle’s Nest.

Because of the isolated location of the camps, Durant had to be creative in arranging for transportation. Huge investments had to be paid into a network of stagecoach, railroad and steamboat ventures. But by 1904 with expenses escalating, creditors threatening and lawsuits looming, W.W. Durant declared bankruptcy.

Like his father before him, W.W. Durant had seen his financial fortunes evaporate.

And also like his father, W.W. Durant made an impact on Adirondack life, an impact which reaches down through the decades to this day.

Craig Gilborn’s biography of the family, titled Durant, published by the Adirondack Museum, can be found at the Town of Johnsburg Library in the Adirondack section.

Montgomery-Corey said even a standard film costs $250 to acquire for showing and an additional $40 for each trailer.

More popular films cost more to acquire, and with companies like Disney that take a large, flat percentage of the gross for the showing of their films, the theater can have a hole to climb out of that can be as deep as 40 percent of gross revenue.

All this represents a challenge for the theater given the low admission price of only $5.

“For each showing, we need to have 80 paying customers in order to just cover the hard cost of the showing,” said Montgomery-Corey.

Concessions help, and children deliver some good concession revenue. But films for adult viewers just don’t seem to deliver the concession sales that are so often touted by other theaters.

“Perhaps we need to survey our adult customers to see if there is something else they would like to see us offering in the way of refreshments.”

“If nothing else, the operational cost situation should make the community realize that it cannot start taking this fantastic community resource for granted,” MontgomeryCorey said.

Operations, she said, are about as grassroots as it gets.

Montgomery-Corey said she enjoyed seeing how the theater’s following is expanding, with crowds coming as far as Olmstedville.

And while the venue’s Facebook page has drawn likes as far away as India and Pakistan, just liking the theatre doesn’t

keep the doors open, the director points out.

Surely the theater’s history and inspiring story of small community determination have a lot to do with its widespread popularity even beyond the community at large. But its programming has a lot to do with the venue’s ongoing popularity.

Current films like “Manchester by the Sea”, “La La Land”, “Queen of Katwe”, “Dr. Strange” — all running in the coming weeks — are certainly a huge drive to the Indian Lake Theater’s popularity.

Events such as the “Loren and Mark” March 10 reach-out musical performance at Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek (sponsors are still needed) and the April 28 Patsy Cline Tribute to take place in the theater are just some of the great live performances planned this spring.

But the real driving force is the community at large. So as the Indian Lake Community Theater approaches it’s new chapter’s 10th anniversary, Montgomery-Corey suggests that the community celebrate the fact that it belongs to them.

“Do it by taking in a few great movies. Attend a live performance. Bring a few friends and visitors. Enjoy some popcorn, a chocolate bar, a cup of coffee. Celebrate the great admission price, and if you can, don’t go past the contribution jar at the end of the counter without contributing, or the donation page on the website without giving a little ‘thank you’ to help keep the theater healthy, the admission price low and the memories coming.”

ON THE COVER: The Indian Lake Community Theater is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this spring. Shuttered in 2006, the revitalized space is going strong following its resurrection in 2009.

“If we make this investment, then we want to partner with private sector management companies that do this and do this extraordinarily well,” Cuomo said. “Make them bring their money to the table. We think we can leverage $80 million and remake these facilities in to world class facilities that are high end and I believe we are going to increase tourism even more.”

BIG BOOST Winter tourism at Whiteface and Gore Mountains accounts for more than $100 million in economic impact each year in the North Country, according to the governor’s office.

His administration, he said, has made it a top priority to leverage natural assets in the region to increase visitors, create jobs and spur economic growth.

Local officials have long called for the upgrades, which they said are necessary to remain competitive at the global level.

The funding, said Cuomo, will allow the facilities to do exactly that while also generating opportunities to increase off-season revenue and bolster small businesses in the surrounding region.

Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston, who also serves as the supervisor of Wilmington, says the upgrades are long overdue, and the funds will have a significant impact in facilitating those efforts.

Receiving the news was just as colossal as when he got the call in 2013 that the state was investing $12 million to refurbish the Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway, he said.

“The Cadillac of ORDA is Whiteface and Gore, which generates the revenue,” Preston said.

Preston was particularly enthused about the lodge upgrades. The current structure, he said, is like something out of the 1970s: Ski lodges should be warm, cozy, and “Adirondack-y,” he said.

“That lodge is none of it.”

“Enhancing Whiteface is going to help everyone. I just think this is something very, very positive.”

Jon Lundin, a spokesman for the Olympic Regional Development Authority, also hailed the announcement.

“It allows us to find additional ways to generate revenue during the season, and the off-season as well, and meet the new demands families have for the ski industry,” Lundin said.

The funds are in addition to the $12.5 million the state pledged to the agency as part of the proposed 2017-18 state budget.

“This announcement is on top of that,” Lundin said.

ONGOING EFFORTS The announced upgrades join other state efforts to promote winter tourism in the region, including the I LOVE NY ad campaign rolled out last week in downstate television markets and a Free Snowmobiling Weekend for all out-of-state and Canadian snowmobilers from Friday, Feb. 3, through Sunday, Feb. 5.

The tourism industry in 2015 generated a total economic impact of $102 billion – an all-time high for the state, according to the governor’s office.

That number may rise with the completion of a multi-use trail, which the governor introduced earlier this month, asking for lawmakers to authorize $53 million to complete the first phase of the 750-mile system, which would complete

the Erie Canalway and Hudson Greenway before venturing north, through Albany, Lake George and through the Champlain Valley.

And on Monday, speaking at the Plattsburgh International Airport, to which he pledged $38 million earlier this month, Cuomo also introduced the master plan for the Gateway to the Adirondacks, the proposed new recreational hub at Frontier Town in Essex County.

“The governor’s leadership and new programs will be a game changer here in the Adirondacks,” said Regional Office

of Sustainable Tourism CEO James McKenna. “His continued promotion of tourism as an economic driver and increased investment through programs such as I Love New York and Market New York, have been a catalyst for significantly increased traveler activity here.”

Pictured above: Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday, Jan. 23 announced up to $20 million in state investment for improvements to Whiteface and Gore. The investments must be paired with up to $80 million from the private sector, he said.

BoltonÊ girlsÊ defyÊ theÊ odds,Ê leadÊ MVACÊ Div.Ê II

By Thom Randall

Bolton eighth-grader Katelyn VanAuken takes a shot from downtown against Wells in a recent league game. This season, Van Auken has averaged 11 points per game, aiding her team in earning first-place in southern division II of the Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference.

BOLTON LANDING — With only 35 or so girls enrolled in grades 9 through 12, you’d expect Bolton Central School to have difficulty in fielding a decent girls basketball team.

Think again.

Despite one of their top players being sidelined with an ACL injury, the Bolton Eagles are cruising through their 2016-17 season, victory after victory, even though they have only eight athletes on their team roster.

Heightening the wow factor is the fact that three of these team members are eighth graders, who have boosted the team’s success following Ashley Connery’s injury.

As of Jan. 23, the Eagles are tied for first place in Division II of the Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference, enjoying a 7-1 divisional win-loss record. They share the top spot with Schroon Lake, which is currently 8-1 — but on Jan. 11, Bolton beat the Wildcats 39-36.

Leading the team is junior Madelyn Pratt, a First-Team Adirondack League and regional All-Star. For years, she’s been one of the region’s leading scorers, and she’s earned numerous awards, coach Luke Schweickert said.

“Maddie is one of the leading scorers and rebounders in the area,” Schweickert said, noting that she has been scoring a double-double nearly every game. “She’s a great player, and she’s building off her successes.”

A big factor in the team’s success is senior Caitlin Johnson, who demonstrated her abilities most recently in a game Jan. 5 against Johnsburg, when she scored 23 points when the Jaguars’ defense was focusing on Pratt. In that game, Johnson sank 10 of 11 shots attempted.

“She was gunning so hard for Maddie,” coach said. “Caitlin has really stepped up this year.”

The three eighth graders on the team — Maria Baker, Chelsea Speranza and Katelyn Van Auken — have been vital to the team. Baker has been averaging 5 steals and 6 assists per game, Schweickert said.

“Maria just turned 13, but you’re going to hear her name often in the future,” he said. “She brings the ball up the floor well

against 11th and 12th graders — and she’s a good defender.”

Van Auken has been productive on offense, averaging 11 points per game, and Speranza is considered the Eagles’ leading defender, routinely assigned to shut down opponents’ best players. Speranza, who’s 5’8”, averages 4.5 steals and 7.5 rebounds per game.

Schweickert noted that Van Auken proved her talent in a game against Crown Point, the 2015-16 MVAC division champions. The Eagles beat Crown Point 42-32 on Jan. 4, and in that battle, Van Auken was top scorer with 19 points, including 3 three-pointers.

Pratt has scored as many as 21 points and 21 rebounds in a single game — she’s averaging 16.7 points per game. Johnson’s average is 11.9 points per game, and Van Auken is tallying 11.0 points per game, Schweickert noted.

“This is the first time in 10 or more years that we’ve had three players scoring in double figures,” he said.

Although the Eagles have accomplished a lot this season, substantial challenges exist ahead, he added.

“We’ve got to win four more divisional games, and it’s not going to be easy,” Schweickert said. “We have to stay healthy and avoid injuries, because we’re very thin on the bench.”

The coach said his players compete in the off-season, which has built their skills — and they work together well despite playing together on varsity only this year.

“Our players have the best team chemistry in years,” he said. “They enjoy each other, and they’re upbeat in practice — They are definitely basketball-first type players.”

Schweickert said the players will need to employ that chemistry in the upcoming games, as four of five of them are divisional showdowns.

“With only eight players, there’s no margin for error,” he said.

Area sports fans know they’ll perform — most of the players were on the 2016-17 soccer team that fought through the post-season and competed in the New York State Class D Final Four.

“Our athletes will be ready,” Schweickert concluded. “They work hard in practice — I get tough with them, and they can handle it.”

WARRENSBURG — As post-season competition nears, three high school girls basketball teams are making progress toward Adirondack League division championships, as Warrensburg, North Warren and Lake George varsity squads won their games this week.

Lake George is leading Division I, the largest schools, with an 8-1 league record; Warrensburg is atop Division II with a 7-2 league record, and North Warren is leading the Division III — composed of the smallest schools — with an 8-1 league record.

On Jan. 20, Lake George defeated Argyle, which has been on a tear recently with three consecutive wins. Lake George’s battle against Argyle wasn’t fully secured until Warrior Graceann Bennett had a fourth-quarter 16-point scoring surge that put the game out of reach for the Scots, who had played aggressive defense, forcing Bennett and her teammates into foul jeopardy.

Bennett ended up with 26 points in the 54-33 victory. Another factor, according to coach Rov Tefft, was his team’s lategame defensive rebounds. The Warriors managed to achieve the win without two starters, Lacey Cormie and Nikki Hladik, out due to illness.

Assisting Bennett with scoring were Morgan Zilm with 7 pints, Alysia Kane with 6 points, Alauna Wright with 5, Rachel Shambo with 4, plus Eva Pushor, Rachel Layton and Skylar Healy with 2 each. Leading the Scots were Eve Carmody with 9 points and Emily Tucker with 6.

Jan. 18, Lake George beat Fort Ann 63-34. In that game, Bennett tallied 26 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists; and Alauna Wright recorded 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists; followed by Nikki Hladik with 7 points and 9 rebounds. Amanda Godfrey was the top scorer for Fort Ann with 12 points.

Warrensburg advanced in their 2016-17 campaign Jan. 20 with a 48-34 victory over Hartford, in which Freshman sensation Hope Boland, the Burghers’ shooting point guard, was top scorer with 15 points. She was followed by Megan Hughes with 14 points and Madison Sheridan with 11 points. Britanny Frasier contributed 6 points, and Heather Wood added 2.

Cailyn Harrington was top scorer for Hartford with 10 points.

Two days earlier, Warrensburg beat Fort Edward in a 3635 thriller, quite an accomplishment since Fort Edward has a legacy of excellence in the sport. In 2013, 2015 and 2016, the team battled through the sectional and regional tournaments into the New York State Championship series.

In the defensive battle between Warrensburg and Fort Edward, Megan Hughes lead with 9 points, Frasier followed with 8, Morgan and Sheridan contributed 6 each, Boland added 5, and Wood chipped in 2. For the Forts, Mady Thomas lead the team with 11 points and 14 rebounds.

North Warren continued to show dominance this week with their seasoned, skilled players executing plays with precision.

The Cougars beat Salem 68 to 34, with Madasyn Bush going on a scoring tirade with 31 points along with 23 rebounds.

Sydney Gagnon added 13 points and Hannah Kenney contributed 8. With a lot of ball-sharing occurring, Alyssa Kra-

mar scored 6 points, Sarah Stewart added 4, and Alyssa Dewar, Brooke French and Chloe Jones all had 2 each.

Leading the Generals were Jessi Vidal with 11 points and Hailey Vincent with 10.

On Jan. 19, North Warren defeated Bolton 59-20 in a nonleague contest. Bush lead with 18 points, followed by Kenney with 13, Gagnon with 9, Dewar with 7, and Stewart with 4.

Maddie Pratt lead the Eagles with 10 points.

Jan. 18, North Warren defeated Whitehall 47-21, achieving a wide margin despite the Railroaders’ aggressive defense.

In this physical contest, Bush scored no less than 34 points, followed by Kenney with 5 and Jackie Urtz with 4 points.

BurgherÊ wrestlersÊ winÊ Adk.Ê LeagueÊ Championship

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Armed with strength, exceptional skills, a savvy coaching staff — and drawing on their deep roster, the Warrensburg Central Wrestling Team won the 2016 Adirondack League Championship with 55-21 victory Jan. 18 over Whitehall-Fort Ann. Although the final score indicates a wide gap, the Burghers were trailing 21-19 after mixed results in the lower middle weights which started the dual meet.

But the wrestlers in the heavier and lightest weight classes prevailed, giving the Burghers their second straight league championship.

Coach Mark Trapasso said his wrestlers have been improving through the season.

With this win, the team is 5-0 in the league, 16-2 overall.

“We have athletes that work hard; they’re staying healthy and keeping up their grades,” Mark Trapasso said. “Our wrestlers just go out on the mat and do what they need to do— they’re tough.”

Depth in the squad has also been a key factor, as the Burghers routinely pick up forfeits due to opponents’ vacant weight-classes.

Whitehall-Fort Ann had three of their wrestlers absent from their lineup in the dual meet, and they substituted some rookie athletes.

Trapasso said that about 15 alumni Warrensburg wrestlers were present to watch the action.

“It was a good crowd and we had a lot of support,” he aid. “It was really cool.”

At 126 pounds, Tyler Martel of the Railroaders won a technical fall over Burgher freshman Ryan Vaughn, a rookie. Trapasso said he was pleased with Vaughn resistance to getting pinned.

At 132 pounds, Jason Ashline (W-FA), a 2016 Section II finalist, decisioned Chris Simpson, 12-2. “Simpson was ‘in’ that match,” Trapasso said.

At 138 pounds, Burgher Greg Shambo pinned Jake Moore in 32 seconds. Trapasso notes that his team conducts drills that train for quick pins. “Our guys are really good on their feet,” he said.

At 145 pounds, Dan Monthony (Wbg) pinned Lucas Longtin in 1:10. “Monthony and Shambo are really hot at this point in the season,” Trapasso said.

At 152 pounds, James Rozell (WF-A) won a 5-9 over Ryan McNeill. Trapasso said he was pleased that Ryan resisted Rozell’s efforts to pin him.

In the 160-pound weight class, Nolan McNeill (Wbg) won a 4-0 decision over Brendan Covey. At 170 pounds, Lucas Morse (W-FA) pinned Jarod West in 3:01.

In the 182-pound weight class, Burgher Chris Wilson won a 13-5 decision over Steven Gosselin.

At 195 pounds, Trevor Hurlburt (W-FA) won an 8-3 decision over Ben Ewald, “Ben wrestled tough, and the match could have gone either way,” Trapasso said.

At 220 pounds, Burgher Jack Binder pinned freshman Railroader Ricky Bruce in 18 seconds. “Jack and Gary make a solid onetwo punch for us in the heavyweight classes,” Trapasso said.

At 285 pounds, Burgher Gary Hill pinned Maclain Keough, in 2:44. “Gary Hill continues to improve every day,” Trapasso said.

“He’s winning a lot of matches for a guy who’s wrestled only a couple of years.”

Burghers Dylan Winchell and Zach Carpenter won forfeits in their respective 99-pound and 106-pound weight classes.

At 113 pounds, Burgher Hunter McKenna pinned David Austin in 1:01. Trapasso said that Austin, a skilled wrestler, had shot for a double-leg takedown that drove McKenna back, but McKenna countered with a headlock. “It was a great move,” Trapasso said.

At 120 pounds, Burgher Trevor Winchell pinned Casey Bush in 3 minutes. “It was a su-

per match,” Trapasso said. “Trevor is getting hot now.”

Jack Binder, who wrestles hulking steers at Ridin’ Hy Ranch where he works, offered his thoughts about his team’s accomplishments.

As of Monday, Binder has 32-1 season record — and 27 of the wins were pins.

“Our season has been packed full with more hard matches than last year that our coaches think will toughen us up — and they’re right,’ he said.

Chris Wilson also offered his thoughts.

“We went into this season knowing if we worked our butts off and wrestled tough and gritty we would win the title, and we did,” he said. “It was awesome.”

Wbg. beats 5 teams at G-ville Duals GRANVILLE — The Burghers added an exclamation point to their 2017 Adirondack League Championship by beating five other teams Jan. in the annual Granville Duals meet — with one of their top wrestlers out of the lineup due to illness.

Winning all five of their matches during the day-long event were Dylan Winchell at 99 pounds, Zach Carpenter at 106 pounds, Dustin Reiter at 113 pounds, Dan Monthony at 145 pounds, Jarod West at 170 pounds and Jack Binder at 220 pounds.

Winning four of their five matches were Trevor Winchell at 120 pounds, Greg Shambo at 138 pounds, Nolan McNeill at 152 pounds, Chris Wilson at 182 pounds, Ben Ewald at 195 pounds, and Gary Hill at 285 pounds.

Winning 3 of their 5 matches were Ryan McNeill at 160 pounds with two pins and a forfeit. Adding to the point totals over the day were their teammates Tommy Monroe, Mike Gougherty and Zack Shambo.

Coach Mark Trapasso said that Dustin Reiter, a sophomore from Bolton who’s new to wrestling deserved extra praise as he substituted for Hunter McKenna, who was out with illness, in the 113-pound weight class.

The coach said Reiter had acquired skills and toughness by wrestling in practice with several of the team’s top athletes: McKenna, Zach Carpenter and Dylan Winchell. Trapasso said he’s also impressed with the 5-0 performance of Jarod West, a senior.

“Dylan’s a tough kid and he did great — he won several matches by one point,” Trapasso said.

“We wrestled tough and won every close match you could imagine,” the coach continued. “I don’t know how to explain it, but we’re getting hot right now.”

Warrensburg will be hosting the annual Section II Class D tournament on Feb. 4, with 11 teams and about 150 wrestlers competing, Trapasso said.

“We’re the team to beat in the ‘Ds’, but we’re taking nothing for granted — Maple Hill, Salem and Whitehall-Fort Ann are very good teams,” he continued.

To prepare for the Class D tournament, Trapasso has lined up a small Duals tourney on Saturday Jan. 28 at home, featuring some remarkably tough teams: South Glens Falls, Saranac and Canton high schools.

But a bigger factor in preparation has been his wrestlers’ dedication enduring grueling workouts, Trapasso said, noting that his athletes run through the school hallways daily for 50 minutes before practice, while holding heavy kettle balls.

Trapasso said this routine was the idea of his assistant coach, Scott McKenna.

“McKenna’s a freak about conditioning,” he said.

Burgher wrestler Jarod West tackles a competitor from Beekmantown High during the Warrensburg Duals Meet held Jan. 7, which the Burghers won.

Eleven days later, the Warrensburg wrestlers secured the Adirondack League Championship. Then on Jan. 21, Warrensburg won the Granville Duals, competing against five other teams. Jarod West was among six Burghers who won all five of their matches in the meet.

APA discusses American Disability Act and Adirondack land use classification

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

RAY BROOK — Adirondack Park Agency commissioners drew particular attention to American Disability Act rules during their regular meeting in January.

Senior Natural Resource Planner Kevin Prickett provided an overview of the federal law before introducing Carole Fraser, the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s Universal Access coordinator.

Questions asked throughout the hour-plus discussion suggest the information may inform upcoming classification of the Boreas Tract where existing, well-made gravel roads provide ready access for wheelchairs.

“The law requires equal opportunity, but they don’t require exceptional opportunity,” Prickett said of the ADA’s writ.

Areas that do not allow motor vehicle access don’t have to make an exception for motor vehicles, he said, when such access “would change the purpose for which the area is used for.”

ACCESSIBLE ROUTES New York access guidelines are based on the U.S. Access Board’s guidelines to design and build “accessible routes” that provide passage from a parking area to a recreational site, such as a lean-to, a beach or a fishing dock that can be utilized with persons in a wheelchair.

Standards require a continuous unobstructed pathway with a firm, stable surface, and a grade never exceeding 10 percent. Accessible trails are built 36 inches wide, Prickett said of his research.

NOT A BUILDING CODE Fraser provided further clarity on the role of American Disability Act legislation in park settings.

“The ADA is not a building code. It is civil rights legislation passed in 1990,” she said.

Society used to see people with disabilities as broken, she said.

“Today we see more integration in ... in our communities.”

A court settlement with three Adirondack complainants established DEC’s Universal Access program 16 years ago.

Accessibility also fosters easier use for children or people with visual or learning disabilities, and elders who may have trouble walking.

Recreational access is not just designed for people using wheelchairs or other types of motorized aids to stay mobile, she added.

But any new construction on state property requires accessibility, Fraser said.

And planning works to solve problems specific to each site.

“What we (DEC) found through the years is if that’s (accessibility) your goal, you’re going to achieve it.”

POLICY LINES Policy revision in any ADA review is done on an individual basis, Fraser said.

The central questions look to answer whether the revision would “alter the nature of a service or experience provided,” which in the Adirondacks is access to nature and the outdoors.
