People’s Climate March: A trip worth taking Sun, signs and sights: Reflections on the People’s Climate March

By Mike Corey

news@suncommunitynews.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The bus ride was long, somewhat uncomfortable and noisy, but still interesting, and we knew we could handle it, as we were going to Washington to participate in the People’s Climate March.

The event, joined by hundreds across the nation, was planned to mark the hallmark 100th day of the new president’s term, and to raise awareness on climate change.

Four folks from Minerva met up with a handful of SUNY Albany students and others from the Albany area during early on April 29.

When we left Minerva, the air temperature was in the low 50’s.

By the time we gathered with thousands of other marchers at the march site, the tem-

peratures rose into the low 90’s.

After the bus dropped us off not far from the Washington Monument, we moved slowly to the starting point.

Signs were everywhere, and nearly every one of the 200,000 people present had one.

The signs detailed messages on green jobs, climate change action, chastising global warming deniers, and the need to wake up and see what’s going on in the world.

“There is no Plan B” was popular, as was “Separate oil and state.”

This was a peaceful march, and while law enforcement representatives were present, they had little to do other than be visible.

The feeling within the crowd was one of hope, solidarity and exuberance.

People wanted to be there.

Another theme that showed up in form of chants and rally cries was that of democracy.

Barbershop festival slated for Lake George Sweet sounds of harmonies to fill village beginning on May 5

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Tuneful vocal harmony will resonate throughout Lake George this weekend, as dozens of barbershop quartets sing at a convention and regional contest.

The festival, set for May 5 through May 7, is the first of its type in recent history for Lake George Village.

A function of the Northeast District of the Barbershop Harmony Society, the festival is to include vocal competitions, spontaneous singing by barbershop quartets outdoors around the village.

The three-day event features a Saturday evening concert on May 6 showcasing quartet contest finals plus performances by international-champion vocal groups.

Forty-four quartets, choruses and mid-size vocal groups are scheduled to compete in the weekend competition and festival. Racing City Chorus of Saratoga Springs, Electric City Chorus of Schenectady and the Uncle Sam Chorus of Troy and Waterford are among the Capital Region groups performing.

Northeastern District Vice President Steve Salamin said this week that quartets and choruses will be representing a region that stretches from Montreal to Poughkeepsie and east to Cape Cod, encompassing New England states as

well as eastern Canadian provinces.

The public is invited to attend the Saturday concert and finals competition in the Lake George High School auditorium. The finals begin at 5:45 p.m. featuring performances by the top-ten quartets, and the performances by reining champions begins at 8:15 p.m..

Among the many groups scheduled to perform are the 2016 international champion barbershop quartet “Forefront” and another top ranked quartet, “Voices of Gotham” of New York City, one of the top 10 barbershop choruses in the world.

Admission is $20 per ticket, but they can be purchased for $15 in advance at the Lake George Chamber of Commerce office at 2176 U.S. Route 9 in the village.

Quartet semi-final competitions are to be held Friday evening, and chorus contests are set for Saturday morning. The spontaneous streetside a capella singing over the weekend is dependent on the weather.

The winners of Saturday night’s finals competition will earn a berth in the Barbershop Harmony Society’s international championship competition to be held this summer in Las Vegas.

While a harmony festival is new to Lake George, Andy Pratt, an area deejay, held a barbershop festival for a halfdozen years in Bolton Landing, beginning in the late 1980s. It was immensely popular, drawing people from all over the nation. The festival was discontinued in 1992 because of the immense amount of work required to produce it, Pratt said at the time.

For this year’s barbershop festival in Lake George, members of the Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus have worked for months arranging details, according to Amanda Metzger of the Lake George Chamber of Commerce.

“We’re thankful the Northeastern District chose Lake George for this regional contest and convention, bringing this music style back to the lake,” she said, noting that various hotels are booked solid for the weekend.

Metzger added that she’s recently been watching various vocal groups of the Barbershop Harmony Society on YouTube.

“They’re really impressive — they find unique ways to perform classic barbershop songs and modern-day music,” she said. “They’re performance artists as well as talented singers.”

Lake George Land Conservancy nets $40,000 state grant LGLC to focus EPF grant on land, water protection in Putnam BOLTON LANDING — The Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) has been awarded a $40,000 grant from the 2017 Conservation Partnership Program, administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Land Trust Alliance.

The LGLC was one of 58 nonprofit land trusts across New York State to receive grants, totaling $1.8 million.

The grant funds will be used towards the cost of protecting a 72-acre beaver pond in Putnam, purchased by the LGLC in 2016. The land is part of the LGLC’s overall plan to expand the existing trail system to connect the Gull Bay Preserve and Last Great Shoreline to the Anthony’s Nose Preserve and beyond.

“We are once again grateful to the Land Trust Alliance and the DEC for supporting our efforts to protect Lake George through the Conservation Partnership Program,” said LGLC Executive Director Jamie Brown. “Protecting ponds and wetlands such as these in Putnam are crucial to protecting the renowned waters of Lake George clean and beautiful.”

“We are especially grateful to Governor Cuomo, Senator

Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec for maintaining the Environmental Protection Fund at $300 million and increasing the Conservation Partnership Program to $2.5 million in this year’s budget,” continued Brown. “This program has provided critical funds for many land trusts statewide, enabling the protection of important farm lands, forests and water resources throughout the state.”

On April 26, 2017, New York State DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos announced $1.8 million in Conservation Partnership Program grants for 58 nonprofit land trusts across the state. The grants, funded through New York’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), will leverage an additional $1.5 million in private and local funding to support projects that will protect farmland, wildlife habitat, and water quality, enhance public access for outdoor recreation, and conserve priority open space areas critical for community health, tourism and regional economic development.

“Through partnerships with local land trusts, the Environmental Protection Fund provides critical support for open space programs across the state,” said Commissioner Seggos.

“These grants help local land trusts support our work to protect New York’s peerless waters, lands, and habitats and preserve our state’s natural resources, while leveraging even more

resources communities can put to good use protecting these irreplaceable assets.”

That 9.6 pound salmon wins again!

Willsboro fourth grader Thomas Sucharzewski holds fishing title in the Champlain Basin Derby 50-week contest

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

WILLSBORO — The big fish Thomas Sucharzewski caught last summer held its record.

Then age 7, Thomas tugged a 29-inch, 9.6 pound salmon from Lake Champlain to take third place in the Lake Champlain International.

His mom Allison Sucharzewski said Thomas, now 8, bought a motor for the fishing boat with his winning prize money last year.

And they had entered the catch in the Champlain Basin Derby, a region-wide contest that awards any catch from any tournament, a cumulative roster that spans 50 weeks.

“Any catch can be entered into the Basin Derby, and the win comes from other tournament standings, from fishing contests up into Canada, and south almost to Poultney Vermont,” Allison explained.

“We had kind of forgotten all about it,” the busy mom of two said.

Then they learned Thomas’s record stood a test of time among entries, and found out about it the same day as the award ceremony.

“He got first in the Basin Derby and won $1,000!” Allison said.

Clearly, the eight-year-old from Willsboro has the right touch for lures and lines and fishing spots.

“He couldn’t stop smiling,” Allison said of the surprise.

Thomas has won lots of fishing gear over the past couple years and is set for the near future, and so, this time, mom and dad, John Sucharzewski, asked their young fisherman what he might do with some of the prize money.

He went for a pet, a reptile.

“He decided to buy a bearded dragon, and named it Toothless, now we have a lizard,” Allison laughed.

Meantime, fishing season has opened on lakes and waters around the region, and the Sucharzewski family is ready for their favorite pastime, adventure taken together, one Allison and John encouraged both Thomas and his older sister Ava, 10, to enjoy early in life.

“We’re a fishing family. We all can’t wait to get on the lake. Both of our kids started basically when they could walk. John and I fished even before we had kids. So when they were born, it was such a big part of our life, they came along.”

She attributes Thomas’s fishing acumen to part science, part luck.

“He seems to seem to have that extra luck,” said the proud mom.

Location, strategy for time of day and feeding habits combine in the family’s fishing plan along with change of lures.

“Thomas will always push the envelope and try other lures,” Allison said.

“As soon as that boy put a pole in the water, there was a bite. And reeling in the line, there’s always something on the end of it.”

Do the Sucharzewskis, who live in Willsboro, have a favorite fishing spot?

“Well, even when we lived in Vermont we would come to New York and fish in the bays up here a lot. Willsboro Bay is a really good spot,” Allison said.

As a family sport, there are many resources for people who want to try fishing in nearby lakes and streams.

“If you reach out to people who fish on a regular basis and find out where to go and what the waterway is like and put a line in when the fish are ready, you catch on fast,” Allison said.

“Town Fish and Game clubs are a great resource. And organizations like Lake Champlain International are fantastic. At each of these fishing derbies, there is an education piece. I would encourage people who are interested to go to the weigh-in stations and talk to people there: and see all the fish. Most people who fish are more than happy to take people out.”

As for this summer?

Allison said it’s game on for the ladies this year.

“We will be signed up for LCI this year, which is probably our 17th year in a row fishing it. Ava and I are hoping to take home the prize this time and win the title ‘Lady of the Lake,’” she quipped.

Big catch, or small, family time isn’t measured by a length or the pound.

“Fishing is something we’ll share with our kids forever,” Allison mused.

TO LEARN MORE: Fishing season opened April 1 for trout and landlocked salmon and extends to Oct. 15.

The Willsboro Fish and Game Club is hosting its Youth Fishing Derby this year on May 13 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., with registration at 8:30 a.m. Contact the club for more information.

Other fishing tournaments set for this year include: June 20 to 22: LCI Fathers Day Derby, online information: www. mychamplain.net June 20: LCI Little Angler’s, online: www.mychamplain.net July 30 to Aug. 1: Fishing League Worldwide Fishing Derby, online information: www.flwoutdoors.com Aug. 8: Walmart Bass League, online information www.flwoutdoors.com Sept 3: Lake Champlain International Bass Open www.mychamplain.net

Unified Basketball program a novel idea

R

ecently, our sports editor went to a five team basketball scrimmage at Plattsburgh High School. Here are some of the things he did not see.

Coaches and parents yelling at officials.

Players complaining, throwing their arms up when they got called for a foul or turnover, or drawing attention to themselves.

Coaches and players, “getting into it.”

Poor sportsmanship.

Parents questioning the coach on plays or why the team was losing.

So, what happened?

Had he stepped through a portal to an alternate universe as he walked through the PHS doors?

No. This was the first Section VII Unified Basketball scrimmage between five schools from Section VII. Unified Basketball, according to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, is part of Project Unity, a joint effort between NYSPHSAA and Special Olympics New York to: • Combine athletes (players with intellectual disabilities) and athletes (players without intellectual disabilities) to create athletic teams for training and competition. Participation is rooted in the principle of meaningful involvement which ensures that every player is given an opportunity to contribute to the success of his or her team through their unique skills.

Inclusive activity is among the most conducive ways to break down stereotypes and foster relationships.

• Provide students with and without intellectual disabilities opportunities to take on leadership roles in promoting Project Unify activities in their schools and in their communities.

• Provide opportunities for all

students to participate in schoolwide campaigns and activities such as Fans in the Stands, Pledge and Plunge, and the R-word Campaign.

In Section VII, unified basketball started last season, when Ticonderoga entered the program and played schools from Section II. Accolades go to athletic director Robert Sutphen, superintendent Dr. John McDonald and the TCS school board for realizing the importance of such a program. Sutphen was a key player in reaching out to other schools and bringing four more schools from Section VII into the mix: AuSable Valley, Plattsburgh High, Saranac and Beekmantown.

Kudos as well to these schools athletic directors, superintendents and school boards.

A lot of credit also needs to go to the coaches who are giving of their time to teach the game of basketball with patience and skill to these students, as well as the student-athletes who give their time to help out teaching the new players the game.

They saw that the Unified Basketball program offers inclusion for all students. It gives students with intellectual disabilities the chance to be student-athletes, to put on the uniform of their school and represent them in competition as part of a varsity team.

This, however, is not your usual competition. The teams are there to learn and have fun. The young men and women who play on these teams have smiles on their faces as they bring the ball up the court, defend their player — basically at all times.

It’s infectious, sitting there watching these kids, some of whom dreamed about an opportunity to play for their school, finally get that chance. You cannot feel anything but happy watching a young woman jump up and down three times after scoring her first basket in a game.

Todd Nelson, the NYSPHSAA director over Unified Sports, said the sport gives students with intellectual disabilities a chance to associate with students they may never have talked

to otherwise, bringing a stronger unity to a school district.

That point was driven home when talking to Ticonderoga assistant Kendra McCoy, who said she saw students going up to members of the Unified team after a game and congratulating them on a win or scoring a basket. McCoy said students were even coming up to them, excited that a certain player had led the team in scoring.

She also said that after the final event of the season last year, each player had received a medal, which they would look at and smile all the way home, with most wearing their medals into school the next day.

Nelson added to that point: “You think back to the state championships, and the team in second place would be down, crying... If you gave these kids a silver medal, they would run to the stand and have huge smiles on their faces.”

We encourage everyone living within these five districts to reach out to their school’s athletic websites, find out when the next home game is for their Unified Basketball team, and go. It’s a wonderful experience and a chance to cheer on some outstanding athletes.

We also encourage those not living in these district to check out a game, then get in contact with your school’s athletic department about the chances of starting their own Unified Basketball program.

Good luck to all of the students and coaches on a successful Unified Basketball season!

America is energy independent -- Now, let’s make it secure Point of View

Andrew Langer

Andrew.Langer@instituteforliberty.org

T

he United States is about to reach a major energy milestone. A new report predicts that the nation is on track to become a net energy exporter within the decade.

This is huge. The United States has relied on foreign imports of oil and natural gas since the 1950s.

Energy independence will make the nation safer.

Plus, as a net exporter, American manufacturers be able to sell oil and gas in international markets, boosting our economy and weakening volatile nations.

For this to happen, though, lawmakers must implement policies that support energy production and transport. A stable future depends on it.

U.S. energy production is booming. Natural gas exports more than tripled from 2002 to 2011.

Meanwhile, oil imports decreased by over 50 percent from 2004 to 2014.

While the United States weans itself off foreign sources of energy, international demand is climbing. By 2040, worldwide energy consumption will surge 56 percent.

Competing world powers are upping their en-

ergy production to capitalize on this demand. Iran plans to increase its oil supplies by 8 billion barrels in the next 30 years. Russia just opened new natural gas and oil pipelines, while also striking up lucrative international energy deals with Japan and Qatar, one of which totaled over $10 billion.

The uptick in American energy exportation means we can now compete in this market.

An important first step is expediting the approval of Liquefied Natural Gas export terminals, which facilitate the transportation of natural gas to other countries. These facilities are subject to strict, lengthy reviews. Over two dozen applications currently await approval -- and many have been in the queue for years. If the application and approval process were updated, U.S. LNG exports could make an immediate impact on global trade.

Other countries are crying out for U.S. exports.

In a recent letter to Congress, U.S. ambassadors of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia urged the United States to make the LNG terminal approval process quicker. They hope that U.S. exports can lessen their countries’ dependence on nations that, as they noted, use energy as a “political weapon.”

But efforts to expedite exports have simmered out in Congress. To aid our allies and boost our economy, they must be reignited and pushed through.

In order to expand American exportation, lawmakers must also allow more energy production on federal lands. From 2011 to 2015, drilling on federal territory increased by only 0.8 percent. For comparison, drilling on private lands increased by 113 percent in that time.

That’s largely because regulations make production on federal lands impossible. Acquiring a drilling permit on federal territory took an average of 220 days in 2015 -- more than five times the average approval time in 2005. Meanwhile, permits for drilling on private lands take 10 business days in some states. Only 852 federal land leases for drilling were granted in fiscal year 2015 -- nearly 3000 fewer than a decade ago.

Removing some of these obstacles would allow producers to generate more energy -- and bring in some cash for the government. Making federal lands available for production could add $127 billion to the economy annually over the next seven years.

Becoming energy-independent is a huge step for America’s energy security. With lawmakers’ help, we can sustain that progress -- and help our allies keep their lights on, too.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Rep.Ê StefanikÊ needsÊ toÊ focusÊ onÊ workingÊ forÊ herÊ district To the Editor: Boy, am I a great fisherman. I use razor sharp hooks, biodegradable fishing line, “approved” lead sinkers, organically grown worms, and the latest underwater sonar-radar-acoustic-dynamic GPS guided fishfinder.

Everything, except, well, you know, the big one (and the little ones) got away. Do you still think I am still a great fisherman? Of course not.

Boy, is Rep. Elise Stefanik a great representative. She is a member of umpteen committees, proposed lots of legislation, held a bunch of meetings, and answered a gazillion letters and phone calls.

Everything, except, well, create new jobs, get legislation passed that significantly improves her district, attract new business to her district, or in general made the district markedly better.

And the Point of View on April 22, “My First 100 Days,” says it all — or should I say, says very little in the way of actual, meaningful accomplishment; a very poor catch indeed.

I might be called a lousy fisherman — but then, I was not elected to catch dinner for the North Country.

Stefanik was elected to represent the North Country. Time to weigh in some accomplishments which will directly affect the people who sent her to Congress, and not fill her creel with a lot of vague and empty promises, smoke and mirrors, meetings, blah blah blah.

Let’s see if Point of View, “My Second Hundred Days,” has a list of real accomplishments. Let’s see a list of new jobs, businesses, program, all helping us.

PoliticalÊ blindnessÊ isÊ nothingÊ new To the Editor: About 400 years ago, in 1609, Henry Hudson explored the Hudson River.

Though long ago, his trip is still of great local interest: The source of the Hudson is smack in the middle of the 21st Congressional District. A year later, he set about to find the Northwest Passage.

His search was sponsored by financial interests that could have benefited immensely from its discovery (think Suez Canal, Panama Canal) because it shortened the commercial trade routes between Europe and China. He didn’t find it, because it didn’t exist — at the time.

Observations show that ice coverage of the arctic has systematically decreased during the last half century.

Political blindness in the U.S. refuses to acknowledge this trend. At the same time, political pragmatism has prepared Russia to take advantage of this trend. Russia has a far larger fleet of icebreakers than the U.S. and has just launched the largest nuclear-powered icebreaker of all, the Arctika, on June 16, 2016.

While American politicians are debating the reality of global warming, the Russians are set to profit from it. They have opened up the longsought Northwest Passage and are preparing to benefit from it twice over: from the trade it will enable and from the mineral resources that are now accessible under the Arctic Sea. Our political blindness is redirecting a large source of income from the U.S. Treasury to the treasuries of other countries.

AcceptingÊ thatÊ weÊ cannotÊ goÊ backÊ withÊ climateÊ change To the Editor: The blue birds never really left this winter.

I will miss the thrilling moment that used to happen each spring when they came back. “Look! There’s the first bluebird, checking out the birdhouse near the garden!” Having them around all winter indicates a quiet reality: the winters are just not as tough as they used to be.

This makes me sad. We can’t go back.

Scientists tell us there is already too much carbon dioxide in the air, trapping the heat of the sun like a blanket around the earth, changing seasonable temperatures so that certain species, like blue birds, will have changed their habits.

If I mention this — climate change — to some neighbors of mine, they will dismiss it as “just politics.”

Climate change is not politics, it’s physics.

Physics is science. Unfortunately, there are many misunderstandings about science whirling around. Science and the math supporting it are rooted in questions and theories and correlations and predictions, but not in certitude. That misunderstanding, leading some to the accusation that science is therefore unreliable and even false, is perhaps the saddest part of this blue bird story.

Personally, I love considering the possible reasons behind things: how evolution must have sculpted the wings of birds from their dinosaur ancestors; how short grassy meadows are probably the preferred habitat for bluebirds because they can more easily see tasty bugs; and how biliverdin, the pigment that makes the bluebird’s eggs blue is apparently the same substance we see as green or yellow in the early stages of a bruise on our own human skin. I mean, who knew?

Scientific research and thought has offered these explanations.

It’s interesting. Most people trust science when it comes to setting pollution limits for the water we drink or the air we breathe, and most people trust the science behind the setting of appropriate drug doses.

So why not the science setting carbon limits?

Is it because by accepting it, we acknowledge that we cannot go back?

And worse, that we will have to change some of our habits?

Like the bluebirds?

MoriahÊ EasterÊ EggÊ HuntÊ aÊ hugeÊ success To the Editor: April 8 turned out to be a great day for our Easter Egg Hunt! Over one hundred kids came to lay their claim to 3,500 eggs provided by the Easter Bunny and the Easter Lady.

The Moriah Chamber of Commerce sends out a big thank you to all the families who came down to the town park to enjoy our annual event.

Thanks also to the many people who made donations and lent their time to make this event such a success! Without your help and support we could not make the Easter Egg Hunt possible.

BorderÊ adjustmentÊ taxÊ couldÊ reviveÊ U.S.Ê textileÊ industry To the Editor: Maybe you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing Ivanka Trump’s apparel, but many buy into the fashion image. It’s a $100 million business, sustained by exploited labor.

According to the Fair Labor Association: “Workers at a factory in China, used by the company that makes clothing for Ivanka Trump’s fashion line and other brands, worked nearly 60 hours a week to earn wages of little more than $62 a week.”

Of course, they also lack benefits and endure unsafe working conditions, neo-slavery that we don’t tolerate here.

Those dollar-an-hour wages are the main reason 300,000 textile and apparel jobs were lost in the U.S. between 2001 and 2011.

Even though coal mining employs about as many people now as it did in 2001, many Trump supporters believe the myth that Obama killed the industry. They are told that, by sacrificing the environment, the glory days of coal will return. That’s nonsense.

Notice how, by distracting us with coal mining mythology, we don’t discuss the fact that many more jobs have been lost in the less hazardous textile/apparel industry. Here’s where the Border Adjustment Tax can help.

According to the National Association of Manufacturers, in 2014, the cost of US regulatory compliance is $6 per labor hour. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.

Assuming it takes an hour to make a sweater in China, that same labor costs at least $13 in the US. Therefore the BAT ought to be at least $12. By equalizing labor costs this eliminates a primary incentive to offshore manufacturing.

Of course BAT won’t be enacted — the GOP lacks approval from their corporate masters (such as Wal-Mart, seller of Trump-branded merchandise) to pursue it. Even if they had the guts to defy them, they lack the organization or credibility to pass it. The Tea Party Freedom Caucus will oppose a new tax. Democrats won’t consider supporting tax legislation until the president releases his income tax returns.

It’s unfortunate because a return of textile and apparel manufacturing jobs could lift thousands out of poverty and reduce their dependence on government assistance. Isn’t this what the working class expected from their renegade president?

The failure to seriously debate a BAT illustrates why we need to get rid of both major parties. We can’t expect the people who created our problems to solve them.

Behind the Pressline Staying Competitive

Dan Alexander

Publisher/CEO

L

ast week I wrote about nothing lasting forever.

Everyday businesses, just as individuals, must continue to evolve and adapt to the constant change that is around every corner.

Last week’s column noted changes with major retail stores and with the state of newspaper ownership in this country.

The agent of change when seen as an opportunity can be a great ally, but when looked upon as a dreaded curse .... well, it generally doesn’t bode well for those undergoing the change.

The Sun and our sister paper the Vermont the Eagle are about to undergo a major change as we bid farewell to our long time Managing Editor and senior page architect in the newsroom, John Gereau.

John has accepted an important position with Mountain Lake Services in Essex County. It’s a great opportunity for John and Mountain Lake is getting a terrifically talented guy who will serve their organization with great skill and professionalism.

We wish John and Mountain Lake Services nothing but the very best with their mission of serving people with developmental disabilities in Essex County, New York.

As for our community newspapers, while we are sorry to see our long time friend leave, we recognize this change as an opportunity to not only stay competitive but as an opportunity to restructure our newsroom given the growth we’ve undergone the last few years.

Computers, software, personnel and expansion exerted a constant change on the way we operate but like a quarterback on a football team, the offense is built around the skill sets of team members. John’s departure will allow other talented members of our team to step forward into new assignments and open the door for some new talent to join the team. We view it both as an exciting period of time when we’ll take inventory of what we do well and how we can improve in those areas where we need a little help.

Competition both inside and outside an organization benefits everyone when the desire to put forth your best product seems to take on greater focus. I can already see the pace of the daily routine taking on a new emphasis as we interview and prepare for John’s departure.

As we meet with talented writers, editors and designers in the weeks ahead we’ve always got room for another hat in the ring. If you are looking to join an organization that’s growing and you’re looking for a challenging career where you can make a difference send us your resume at jobs@suncommunitynews.com.

29 of the Adirondack Northway in North Hudson.

“They want to be able to get on the ground, gather that up and secure those items,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston (I-Wilmington).

Preston said he has noticed cars parked at the site each time he has visited the parcel. While he has no definite proof items are being poached, he can’t see any other motives for people entering the site.

“I certainly have a concern at the people I observe,” he said.

“Why would you be there?”

The former theme park has been empty since its closure in 1998.

Since then, it has become a popular destination for explorers, and a number of blogs have surfaced detailing depictions of expeditions.

Several buildings that constitute the former wild west attraction, which are not visible from the road, continue to moulder into the forest, including the former church.

Plans are underway to transform the long-neglected site into a tourism hub called the Gateway to the Adirondacks, a project state and local officials say will revitalize the regional economy.

The state legislature signed off on up to $32 million in state investment earlier this month.

Essex County put up posted signs last summer at several former motels and restaurants along Route 9 to dissuade explorers.

The structures, which are deteriorating, are on the proposed project site.

The county last year culled plans to go out for RFP on asbestos remediation of those hotel properties, citing the costs.

But the idea isn’t entirely nixed.

“It’s been an ongoing discussion,” Preston said. “We had a very lengthy meeting in Warrensburg last week and are still working through that.”

Costs for remediation remain unknown, and county lawmakers would ultimately have to sign off on any clean-up plans.

“I don’t know what the amount is yet, and we haven’t agreed to do anything yet,” Preston said. “There needs to be a clear path.”

Essex County Manager Dan Palmer said the county has applied for a $800,000 Northern Border Regional Commission grant that may aid with costs.

“The worst-case scenario is that it could be a funding source we could leverage if the state did ask us to pay for (asbestos remediation),” Palmer said.

Lawmakers also approved a symbolic resolution indicating they remain committed to the project.

The memorandum of understanding with the DEC, the town of North Hudson and Empire State Development is designed to ensure work will continue despite the unfinished easement and land transfer process.

The stakeholders will jointly craft an RFP to solicit responses for private sector businesses to compete in the bidding process for redevelopment rights.

“What this RFP is doing is letting (ESD) put out marketing solicitation proposals for management of the property,” Preston said. “There is a lot of pressure to get this thing moving and at the end of the day that’s really good for us.”

At least one local business, Paradox Brewery, has announced plans to relocate to the site. Discussions with the brewery are ongoing, said Preston.

North Creek Rotary to award $3K to local students Application deadline for Johnsburg, Indian Lake, Minerva students set for June 1

By Bill Quinlivan

news@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH CREEK — The North Creek Rotary Club recently announced that it will donate three $1,000 scholarships to qualifying local graduates.

Graduating students from the Johnsburg, Indian Lake and Minerva school districts are invited to participate.

The Rotary Club is requesting that each application include: a short cover letter written by the student — typewritten in the form of a professional business correspondence — with the student’s contact information, parents’

names, financial needs and career goals, employment history and a list of colleges the student has applied to.

The application should also include a short essay, no more than one page in length, expressing how the student’s life goals can contribute to the community.

The student must also submit one letter of reference from a member of their community. The most effective references will come from an employer or other supervisor, or community involvement leader who is outside of the student’s family.

Applicants should note that if the letter of reference is sent separately they must indicate in their cover letter from whom the reference letter is expected to arrive.

“We encourage each student to ask for help and advice from parents or others,” said Phil Sangster, co-president of

hange is both inevitable and ubiquitous. The moon has its phases. Mill Creek ebbs and flows depending on snow melt and rainfall.

When I think about all the changes that have taken place in the past 80 years, I am amazed. My mother died of TB when I was five. I was not allowed to swim in public pools because of the Polio epidemic. Cures were subsequently discovered for both diseases.

I occupied myself cutting out paper dolls, making scrapbooks, coloring, drawing and reading. I listened to daily 15 minute radio soap operas like Portia Faces Life, and Lorenzo Jones and his Wife Bell.

Sunday night’s programs were Edgar Bergen and Charlie

the Rotary Club. “They must realize that by applying for this scholarship they agree that the material submitted, other than that supplied in the reference letter, will be original to them.

“To be considered, all parts of the application must be received by the students’ respective guidance office no later than Friday, June 1.”

“The North Creek Rotary Club offers scholarships to recognize student accomplishments,” said Sangster. “We do so with the hope that graduates will have a bright future that will, in some way, provide humanitarian service to people in need.”

The North Creek Rotary Club is one of over 32,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide.

As such, it participates in a broad range of service projects including health care, clean water, food, youth development, and education within the local community and throughout the world.

We had a rotary telephone and a party line. The Freihofer man delivered bread with his horse and wagon. Freihofer’s bakery was a few blocks away. A wonderful aroma permeated that block of Albany Street. My dad delivered milk for Sealtest. “Get the best, get Sealtest” was their motto.

We lived across from the Ford showroom. My grandmother and I would sit on our porch and watch the post-war new cars being delivered. On hot afternoons our special treat was a single dip ice cream cone, which cost seven cents. We traveled over the bridge to Scotia and south as far as Albany. A trip to Montgomery Wards in Menands was a yearly event.

Change is often a good thing. We’ve become more safety conscious. Cars are equipped with seatbelts and airbags. Skiers wear helmets. I could go on and on.

Your memories may be very different from mine. But I believe that those were the good old days.

This was an exercise in democracy.

From a site near the Potomac River, we marched up Jefferson Avenue to a point not far from the U.S. Capitol, then along Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House.

As the crowd marched past the Trump International Hotel, the marchers chanted, “Shame, shame.”

A key part of the day included a plan to have marchers surround the White House, but the idea did not come to fruition, as a detour forced the crowd to move to the lawn area around the Washington Monument.

The march was well-organized, and the organizers did realize how hot it would likely be on the streets of D.C., making sure water was available along the way.

We promised ourselves that we would return to Washington to be tourists at sometime in the future, but we felt that for the short time we there, it was worth the trip.

Arrests made in wake of Hague general store

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

HAGUE — Two Thurman residents have been arrested in connection with a robbery and shooting at the Hague Market on Tuesday that left a local man hospitalized.

The holdup triggered a search for two suspects who were taken into custody on April 27.

Latham-based State Police arrested Vittorio L. “Vito” Campano, 25, for attempted murder, and Campano and Christine W. Tomko, 27, for felony first-degree robbery.

The pair was arraigned the morning of Friday, April 28 and sent to the Warren County Jail. Bail has been set at $1 million.

Jim Rypkema, 63, was shot four times in the upper torso with a small-caliber firearm — a number authorities revised from three — and is recovering at University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.

Tomko had worked as an emergency medical technician for ambulance squads, while Campano was an office assistant.

Her Facebook page says the two were engaged to be married.

Campano is accused of shooting Rypkema and making off with less than $100 from the store.

State Police Troop G Captain Robert E. Patnaude said police believe they wanted to kill Rypkema to leave no witnesses. The store owner had already given them the money from the register when he was shot.

Although Campano allegedly wore a camouflage face mask, a witness saw the two drive away and gave police a description of their car, a Pontiac Vibe with what authorities said were distinctive stickers, which was stopped in Queensbury on Thursday and led to the couple’s arrest.

Video surveillance footage also aided in the investigation.

The couple are also suspected of up to eight additional burglaries in Warren County.

Police obtained search warrants for a storage shed, where they found items relative to the crime and the others — including the small caliber handgun used in the shooting, which police said was stolen.

The general store at 9844 Graphite Mountain Road (Route 8) is owned by Jim and Sally Rypkema.

The Hague Market had just reopened for the season, and hosted an event for the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce last week.

New York State Police from Troop G, the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department and Ticonderoga Town Police were all at the scene after the shooting. Ticonderoga Emergency Squad, Hague Ambulance Squad and Lamoille Ambulance were also called to the site.

Campano graduated from Queensbury High School in 2009, and Tomko from Lake George High School in 2008.

Tomko put a note on her Facebook page, “I Support

the Police,” on April 19, with numerous others posting on April 28, after her arrest, that they support them, too – in Hague.

She also posted she was feeling stressed and needed

gas money to get to work at a Saratoga Springs business she was just starting at.

“Now you can feel drained in prison,” one woman wrote on Tomko’s Facebook page on Friday.

Nurses work together to help Moses-Ludington Hospital nurses appreciate National Nurses Week

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA – Being a nurse requires dedication and training, and with National Nurses Week starting May 6, nurses at Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga appreciate the recognition of their vital role in healthcare.

The salute to nurses originated by the American Nurses Associations ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday.

Karen Griffin has been a nurse for 40 years, coming to work at Inter-Lakes Health’s Moses-Ludington Hospital in 2008.

“No day is typical,” she said. “Some days we have sore throats and sprained ankles.

Another day we’ll see two people with chest pains in a row.

“It’s unpredictable, and that’s one of the things I like about the E.R.” Patients frequently arrive in unstable condition; they may be unconscious and key information such as medical history, underlying conditions and allergies is unavailable, nurses said.

Regardless, the patient’s situation must be assessed and stabilizing treatment initiated quickly, nurses say.

Many patients can be treated and then released; but some require additional, specialized and immediate medical care.

For those patients, Moses-Ludington is in a unique position with a very unique and critical role: to assess and stabilize the patients for transport to a trauma center or other facility that can provide the specific type of care required, hospital spokeswoman Jane Hooper said.

Often, nurses can ride in the ambulance

Nurses (from left) Mary Hilder and Karen Griffin assess a volunteer patient in the emergency room at Moses-Ludington.

with the patient to assist en route.

Griffin said many patients arrive by car, with someone entering the E.R. to tell them they’ve just driven a patient into the parking lot.

“You have to be prepared for anything,” she said.

Nurse Cheryl Meserve, with several years experience, said they often have to bring patients in from the parking lot themselves.

“Most people come in and say ‘I have

someone in the car,’ We go out with a stretcher,” she said.

The helipad at the hospital also gets frequent use, she said.

“We’ve had two (air transports) in one day,” she said. “We see motor vehicle accidents, logging accidents, motorcycle accidents.”

The Moses-Ludington emergency department’s skilled nursing staff is poised to handle any situation at any moment, 24 hours a day, treating more than 6,500 patients each year, Hooper said.

She said the nurses at Moses-Ludington care for trauma patients, critical care patients, individuals involved in accidents, stroke victims, heart attack victims, those with broken bones and sick children in the middle of the night.

The staff is trained and prepared to handle it all – and sometimes, simultaneously.

“It can get hairy,” Griffin said. “You prioritize. People work together in the E.R. You have to.” >> See NURSES | pg. 13

The E.R. has four beds and a stretcher and sometimes runs out of beds, although a coming reconstruction will solve that.

“In the summer, we can move minor ailments to the (hospital) clinic,” Griffin said.

Because they don’t have constant intake, people can usually get in and out quickly, Griffin said, and they provide more personalized treatment.

“It’s greatly appreciated by people,” she said.

Meserve said being local makes their care more personal.

“You know the people who come in, or know their families,” she said..

Their main concerns are space and staffing, but many nurses now go back and forth between Moses-Ludington and Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

“We’re getting better space,” Griffin said. “We’ll have a new E.R. We’ll be able to keep people up to 48 hours.”

Once patients recover from things like cardiac ailments, they’re back in the community.

“You see them around,” Griffin said. “It’s nice to be able to help them.”

Both said one of the reasons they like working at MosesLudington is the people there.

“We have a great facility,” Meserve said. “It’s a great place to work. You get to know everybody and work with all departments.”

Nurse Mary Hilder is new to the field, and has been learning from her co-workers.

“I’ve felt very welcomed here,” she said. “Everything is very exciting. In any situation, someone has your back. I never feel like I’m alone.”

She said she learns new skills every day in the E.R. “There’s always a skill to master,” she said. “They’re helping you, for sure.”

The staff is accustomed to dealing with a variety of serious situations. In fact, the emergency department handles life-threatening, critical care and trauma on a regular basis, roughly 400 cases per year.

Nurses assess and manage patient care when there is limited time to treat someone.

“I do like it here,” Hilder said. “It’s awesome. And we’re getting a new E.R.” Moses-Ludington is about to be transformed – the construction is set to begin within a few weeks, lasting roughly two years.

The emergency department will be dramatically improved, Hooper said. The changes: • New ED will be roughly 4 times the size of the current ED • Room to maneuver stretchers, room for nurses and other clinical staff to easily care for patients • Easily accessible supply storage • New equipment • The ED will also have a 4-bed observation unit, so that clinical staff can monitor patients, as required.

Elizabethtown Community Hospital will manage and operate the services available at MosesLudington, which will become part of Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

Staff members from Elizabethtown Community Hospital and Moses-Ludington have been collaborating for a number of months.

ECH/MLH Chief Nursing Officer Julie Tromblee said they’re working closely as it gets close to the start of construction on the hospital renovation project.

“We’re making sure we’re sharing common nursing practices (between hospitals), providing training, the latest equipment,” she said. “We’re here with support for them.

“They haven’t had that extra support and everything they need. Systems have to align. It can be as simple as focusing on a common practice.”

The two hospitals could share staff in the future, she said.

“The nursing staff at Moses-Ludington offers the community their collective skill, education, dedication and compassion every single day,” she said.

“As the organization is transformed, patients will Nurse Karen Griffin prepares paperwork in the Moses-Ludington Hospital emergency certainly be more aware of the gorgeous new fa- department. cility; but the exceptional clinical knowledge and it’s an amount of time known as the ‘golden hour,’” she said. unwavering compassion that the nurses at Moses-Ludington “Rural hospitals often serve to extend that hour by treating offer to patients will remain constant.

Hundreds gather in Plattsburgh for climate rally Plattsburgh Climate March part of a nationwide day of action last week Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh’s Trinity Park was a flurry of activity Saturday as people from around the region gathered in support of stronger environmental protection laws and renewable energy.

The Plattsburgh People’s Climate March, part of a nationwide day of action, was organized by 20 local advocate groups, organizers said.

Though cloudy, the park was bathed in a warm light, a gentle breeze wafting over protesters as they gathered in the small downtown square.

“We’re concerned about the current administration’s energy policies,” said Saranac Lake resident Leslie Stevens. “Our energy policies are going down the tubes.”

Stevens said her primary worries revolved around what she called “the destruction of the Environmental Protection Agency,” the “gutting” of the Endangered Species Act, and the possibility of oil drilling on public lands.

“It’s time to speak out and do everything to get our voices heard,” she said.

President Trump’s proposed federal spending plan includes deep cuts to the EPA. Last month, the president signed an executive order to roll back Obama administration-era environmental regulations, a measure that granted the EPA the authority to repeal and replace the Clean Power Plan.

Trump also reversed course on the Keystone XL pipeline: a permit was issued by the State Department last month, a measure the president said will lead to increased energy independence. Critics counter the pipeline will contribute to climate change.

A group of small children on Saturday smiled as they ran between the legs of ralliers, blowing bubbles at each other from bright-colored wands.

“There isn’t anything more important than clean water and air, when it comes to quality of life,” said Clinton County Legislator Simon Conroy (Ward 4). “Those are basic rights.

“As a country of great wealth, we have to make sure we’re ensuring that we have sustainable growth. We have to think, ‘How do we go into the future thinking about clean energy?’”

Plattsburgh Mayor Colin Read spoke briefly about his experiences with climate change while living in Alaska.

“When I was in Alaska, we already saw villages washing into the ocean,” he said. “To me, as a former teacher, it’s about what we leave for the next generation.”

One young Westport resident was honored for his advocacy work.

Evan Beech, 7, has worked as an environmental advocate in his town — even organizing a rally of his own in Westport earlier this year, said Read, who named Beech an honorable citizen of the North Country in recognition of his work.

‘HISTORIC EFFORTS’ The Plattsburgh People’s Climate March was held in solidarity with climate marches around the nation on April 29.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo reinforced his administration’s commitment to environmental protection.

“The threat of climate change is real, and cannot be wished away by denial,” Cuomo said in a statement. “That’s why New York is making historic efforts to protect our natural lands and invest in a clean energy economy.”

The governor touted his administration’s efforts to position

New York as a national leader in green policies, including increased funding for drinking water infrastructure and investments in solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy.

While Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) did not appear at the event, she met with representatives of the Union of Con-

cerned Scientists on April 27 to discuss renewable energy and the lawmaker’s climate change resolution.

The lawmaker this session had also joined the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus to explore policy options to address climate change.

Some alarm dialers must be reset with new area code The new 838 area code overlay will require 10 digit dialing on Aug. 19

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — With the deadline for a new overlay area code approaching in northern New York, many devices need to be reprogrammed to dial the area code along with the phone number.

And most agencies are already preparing for the changeover to 10-digit dialing.

The New York State Police Troop B commander, Major John Tibbits, said they aren’t having any issues with the change, necessary with the arrival of the new 838 area code that will join 518 for this region.

“Only seven-digit calls are affected,” he said. “It should be pretty much seamless.”

The Ray Brook Troop B headquarters number, 597-2000, will stay the same, he said, and people will just have to dial the 518 area code first.

For 911 emergency calls, those will still be just 911, he said.

Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish said the County 911 Center is phasing out alarm dialers that call them on a special number anyway, and 911 will still be used for emergencies.

“Anyone whose dialer calls a seven-digit number will have to reprogram it for all 10,” he said. “Although some of those dialers have called the 911 center in the past, there have been problems. We had an emergency situation we were dispatching to in Schroon Lake and an alarm autodialer called the center again and again, tying up dispatchers who were needed for something very serious.”

He said the dialers will no longer be able to call the 911 center, and those using them will have to make other arrangements. There are answering services that will take such calls and verify them before calling emergency services.

At the Essex County office for the Aging, Coordinator Krissy Leerkes said her agency contracts with North Country Home Services of Saranac Lake for Personal Emergency Response Systems dialers, known as PERS, used by some senior citizens.

North Country Home Services Chief Financial Officer D. Scott Tooker explained that the units already call a toll-free 800-number, so won’t need to be reprogrammed.

“Our Lifeline PERS units are monitored by Lifeline Central in Massachusetts,” he said. “The units dial an 800 number to reach central monitoring whenever they are activated.

“North Country Home Services had performed monitoring locally until 2010, when Lifeline made the decision to no longer support local monitoring. An 800 number was also used back then, so that subscribers would not incur telephone charges whenever the Lifeline unit was activated.

None of our units will need to be reprogrammed due to the new area code overlay.”

At Crown Point Telephone Company, President Shana Macey said Crown Point Fire Department is assisting them

in getting the word out that 10-digit daling will be required.

“I think we need to use our community presence to spread the word about the 518 overlay and let people know they should be aware of how their medical alert and fire alarm systems dial out,” she said. “A collaborative effort often brings more notice and I really appreciate CPFD stepping up.”

She said the 518 area code covers all or part of 17 counties in eastern upstate New York and the new 838 area code will serve the same geographic area.

“That’s a lot of people who will be affected by this new dialing pattern,” Macey said. “As a service provider, we felt it was very important to reach out to our community officials, emergency services and law enforcement partners to pin point certain critical issues with the upcoming overlay. Their input on specific public concerns can help make this a safer transition.”

Starting now and ending Aug. 19, customers can dial either seven or 10 digits — the area code plus seven-digit local telephone number — on calls within the 518 area code.

After the transition period ends on Aug. 19, residential, business and wireless customers in the 518 area code will need to dial all 10 digits.

Officials with the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, which handles U.S. area codes, said the change was needed because the 518 area code would use all available numbers by 2019.

“Even though it’s not required at this time, practicing the 10 digit dialing pattern will go a long way toward easing frustrations when the Aug. 19 deadline hits,” Macey said. “After that, your call will not be completed unless all 10 digits are dialed. It seems like an unnecessary nuisance at this time, but as new numbers with the 838 area code are issued it will become clear why it was so important to make the transition.”

Residents requesting new phone lines or changing their service location after Sept. 19 may be assigned an 838 area code.

BurghersÊ upsetÊ stellarÊ FortÊ AnnÊ baseballÊ team

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Following an unexceptional start to their 2017 season, the Burghers’ baseball team pulled off a stunning achievement April 26, defeating Fort Ann — the number-one ranked Class D baseball team in New York State.

Fort Ann’s legendary baseball teams have won a half-dozen sectional championships in 10 years, and four state titles over a similar time period. Fort Ann has lost only one other league baseball game over the past eight years, according to area coaches. Prior to the game with the Burghers, Fort Ann was enjoying an undefeated 2017 season.

Steely defense, sound pitching, confident hitting, and astute baserunning by the Burghers made the difference in their 4-3 Adirondack League win at home.

Any veteran Warrensburg pitcher would have been elated to defeat Fort Ann. But accomplishing the feat April 26 was sophomore Peyton Olden, in his first varsity start as pitcher.

But that’s not all — he pitched the entire game.

Olden offered his thoughts later about the experience. He walked only one batter and struck out two.

“On the mound was gut-wrenching at first,” he said, noting he and his teammates were well aware of Fort Ann’s unparalleled history in the sport.

Recognizing the pending challenge that Fort Ann represented, Burgher Coach Rob Thomas shuffled some of players to maximize defense against their right-handed batters.

Regular center-fielder Austin Smith was moved to left where the Cardinals routinely launch their hits — and Smith indeed made key catches in his new post. John Kelly, often an outfielder, was moved to shortstop and Joe Turner, routinely at shortstop, was moved to third — because that area was a “hot corner” for Fort Ann’s hits, Thomas said.

The strategy was successful — the Burgher defense not only caught Fort Ann’s fly balls that sailed far into the sky, and

they committed only one error the entire game, and that was a throw that hit a player on second base.

Olden described the game play.

“My breaking ball and control were ‘on’ for the game — along with the team’s best defense in the field of any game this year,” Olden said. “I noticed that on every pitch if I hit the spots that (pitcher) Evan MacDuff wanted, I could induce many fly balls and pop flies.”

Not an exceptionally fast pitcher at this point, Olden pitched wily two-seam and four-seam curveballs and an offspeed changeup that stifled Fort Ann’s offense, Coach Thomas said.

“Hard-hitting Fort Ann couldn’t time Payton’s pitches,” he said. “He kept them off balance. Also, he stayed focused and the rest of the team backed him up.”

Thomas praised his fielders for their work.

“Fort Ann did hit some atom bombs, but our players circled up underneath them and made their catches,” he said.

In the fifth inning, Zach Smith got on first, and moments later stole second — then Mark Monthony hit a drive over the head of Fort Ann’s second baseman — an RBI single that

sent Zach home for the game-winning run.

Later, Thomas had a choice — whether or not to pull Olden from the game and send in a fresh reliever. He decided to let Olden stay in place.

“I was a little unsure whether I should keep him in,” the coach said.

“I wondered, will he have the composure in the 7th inning to get three outs? But I decided, ‘We rolled the dice this far — well, let’s go for it.’”

Olden did get those three final outs.

Frenzy then erupted among the Burgher players as they came off the field.

“The whole team and the coaches were in disbelief,” Monthony said later.

“We were all stunned and excited over the great win that will hopefully push our program in the right direction,” MacDuff said.

Thomas echoed the point.

“My guys left it all out there on the field — and hopefully this is a catalyst for the rest of the season,” he said.

Kelly, MacDuff and Smith were all 2 for 3 at bat. MacDuff, Kelly and Monthony all had one RBI. Smith scored two runs and Kelly had one.

With the win, Warrensburg is 2-3 in the league and 3-4 overall.

Next week, Thomas will see if this landmark victory sets a new course for the Burghers. After home games against Johnsburg May 4 and a game May 5 against Hadley-Luzerne, the Burghers will face Salem at home Monday May 8, then go on the road for three more games — against Granville on Tuesday May 9, Fort Edward-Argyle on the next day, and North Warren on Friday, May 12.

April 26, Warrensburg baseball players and their friends celebrate moments after they beat Fort Ann — ranked the number one Class D baseball team in New York State.

LadyÊ WarriorsÊ rediscoverÊ theirÊ mojo;Ê winÊ ownÊ tourney

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Following spring break, the Lake George High School softball team regained their momentum this week, garnering the title in their own annual tourney following several victories in key league games.

Lake George’s season record is now 6-2 overall, following an upset loss to Warrensburg on April 12.

On April 29, Lake George defeated Ticonderoga 10-2 in the tournament semifinals and then proceeded to beat Hoosick Falls 5-2 for the championship.

Eighth-grader Tyler Bergman pitched for the Warriors in the finals, as well as hitting a triple and a double and two RBIs in her 4-4 performance on offense.

Teammate Maddie Mann, a junior, also hit a double, scored 2 runs and earned a walk while tallying 2 for 2 at bat. Junior Morgan Zilm was 3 for 4 at the plate and scored a run. Sophomore Rebecca Jaeger scored a run and took a walk to first, and her classmate Alysia Kane hit two RBIs. The Warriors had a total of 12 hits over the game, compared to Hoosick Falls’ four.

The Panthers had a seventh inning rally scoring two runs, but the Warriors’ defense got three outs to end the game. Hoosick Falls pitcher Abby Philpott, despite her team’s loss, tallied eight strikeouts.

Against Ticonderoga, Lake George scored all but one of their 10 runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings.

Bergman, pitcher for the game, had 13 strikeouts, and went 2 for 3 at the plate, hitting 2 RBIs and a triple as well as scoring a run.

Junior Rachel Layton went 3 for 4, hit 3 RBIs and scored a run and her classmate Logan Clarke went 2 for 3, hit 2 RBIs and a triple, and scored 2 runs. Mann went 2 for 3, hitting a double and scoring 2 runs. had a double. Zilm went 1 for 3, scoring 2 runs.

On April 28, Lake George defeated Granville 6-1 with Jaeger pitching. She tallied 4 strikeouts, went 2 for 3 at the plate, hit an RBI and scored a run. Her sister Rachel was 1 for 1 and hit an RBI; Bergman hit 3 RBIs and scored a run; Zilm hit an RBI and scored a run; and Mann scored a run.

On April 26, Lake George lost to unbeaten Salem 4-5 when the Generals’ pitcher Morgan Keys hit the game-winning RBI in the bottom of the sixth inning then held the Warriors scoreless in the final stanza. In that game, Junior Abby Baertschi hit both a double and a single.

Two days earlier, Lake George defeated Fort Edward 35-1 of 25 hits with Bergman on the mound. Against the Forts, Bergman hit two triples; Clarke and Mann hit two doubles each; Sophomore Julia Heunemann, Baertschi, Rebecca Jaeger and Zilm each hit a triple; and Bergman, Layton and the Jaeger sisters each hit a double.
