George Canon, Adirondack legend, has died Long-running Newcomb supervisor was a singular presence in Adirondack politics

By Pete DeMola

NEWCOMB Ñ George Canon, a lion of Adirondack politics, has passed away.

Canon died early Sunday morning, June 18, at Glens Falls Hospital.

He was 78 years old.

His wife, Monica Young, announced the news on Facebook. Ò I sent my sweetie on his way at 3:15 a.m. today,Ó Young wrote.

Fred Monroe, executive director of the

Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board, confirmed CanonÕ s death late Sunday in a statement.

Canon was Newcomb supervisor from 1990 to 2015, serving 13 terms in office, including two stints as chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

When he retired, Canon said he planned to Ò have a garden, fish, play a little golf.Ó

POWER BROKER Perhaps no person has been as singularly responsible for advocating on behalf of Adirondack Park residents than Canon, a giant in state politics.

Canon entered the political sphere after retiring as a manager of the National

Lead titanium dioxide mines in NewcombÕ s Tahawus hamlet.

Canon quickly fought to put Newcomb Ñ a tiny hamlet in mountainous southcentral Essex County Ñ on the map, whether be through securing state and federal grant funding or amplifying the voice of local residents to ensure their needs were adequately being represented. Ò He always wanted to have people included in the equation, and the impact on the people in the communities,Ó Monroe said.

In addition to serving on the Review Board, the counterpart to the Adirondack Park Agency, Canon served as the presi>> See CANON | pg. 14

Hogan leaves county DA post for state judgeship

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

QUEENSBURY Ñ Kate Hogan of Glens Falls has resigned from her post as Warren County District Attorney to serve as a judge on the state Court of Claims.

Hogan was confirmed in her new post Monday by the state Senate after Gov. Andrew Cuomo nominated her for the judgeship last week. She was sworn in Monday night.

During the Senate hearing, state Sen. Elizabeth Little (R-Queensbury) praised Hogan for her 15 years of dedicated service to area citizens as Warren County District Attorney, noting that she has tackled difficult cases and complex issues while demonstrating outstanding leadership in both her legal community statewide as well as in her county. Ò She earned the respect and confidence of my Senate

colleagues long before this nomination,Ó Little told the Sun on Tuesday. Ò Gov. Cuomo made a terrific choice.

Kate is going to do great things serving the public as a member of the Court of Claims.Ó In 2012, Hogan was named the stateÕ s Executive Prosecutor of the Year by the New York Prosecutors Training Institute. At that time, institute officials noted how sheÕ d served on statewide criminal justice task forces as well as a state sentencing reform commission with dedication and expertise.

More recently, she served on the Moreland Commission, empowered to investigate corruption in state government.

Through the years, Hogan has been active in pursuing and developing victims advocacy and assistance programs. In 2007, the U.S. AttorneyÕ s Office, Northern New York District, honored her with its Spirit of Justice Award for her work on behalf of crime victims.

She has served as President as well as Chairman of the Board of the New York District Attorneys Association. In these posts, she was instrumental in establishing LeandraÕ s Law, which calls for a felony charge for drunken driving with a child in a vehicle; and Jack SheaÕ s Law, which has strengthened DWI prosecution.

She also had a vital role in establishing state statutes that specify strangulation as a serious crime.

Hogan has also served as a Director for the ProsecutorsÕ Center for Excellence, which has a mission to improve the criminal justice system in New York State.

SheÕ s also served as the chair of the New York State Law Enforcement Council.

In Warren County, she created a child advocacy center and helped implement the Warren County Treatment Court.

Earlier this year, she secured convictions in a criminal trial stemming from a fatal boat crash on Lake George, a case that garnered national attention.

Hogan was recently considered for the U.S. AttorneyÕ s position in the Northern District of New York, according to the Times Union of Albany.

Jason Carusone, Warren County First Assistant District Attorney, is slated to become the acting District Attorney, with an election to be held this fall for the permanent post.

As of 2016, Court of Claims judges were paid $193,000 annually. She was earning $152,000 last year, according to the Glens Falls Post-Star. Ñ Visit suncommunitynews.com to read the full story

Bob Savarie honored as Minerva Citizen of the Year Savarie, 90, to be honored at Minerva Day celebration on July 1

VALUED TEACHER As an Industrial Arts teacher and bus driver hired in 1951 by the Minerva Central School, Savarie came to be a valued part of the school community.

In the 1960s he became a full-time teacher and assistant to the superintendent after earning a masterÕ s degree in Administration from St. Lawrence University.

He started a community scholarship program to benefit Minerva Central School, soliciting private donations in an effort that evolved into the Dollars for Scholars program Ñ now the Minerva Scholarship Program.

He retired from Minerva Central School in 1982.

news@suncommunitynews.com

OLMSTEDVILLE Ñ Bob Savarie, of Olmstedville, has been named Minerva Citizen of the Year.

At 90 years of age, Savarie has seen and done a lot.

Since the early 1950s when he first joined the Minerva Volunteer Fire Department, up until he retired in 1992, Savarie was one of the most active volunteers in the Town of Minerva.

Savarie is a native of Indian Lake, moving to Minerva in 1951 and marrying his wife Florencetta the following year.

Savarie is pleased to be named Citizen of the Year, but would prefer to share the honor. Ò IÕ m flattered, but it really should be shared with my wife,Ó he said.

The couple have been blissfully married for 65 years.

They have six children, 11 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. In 1957 they built a home in Olmstedville, where they still live today.

SavarieÕ s heritage is French Canadian, while his wife is a descendent of the original West family, early settlers of the Town of Minerva.

His wife was a fire company base station dispatcher for many years, was active with the LadyÕ s Auxiliary, wrote the original by-laws for the fire company, and served as a Cub Scout pack leader. She was also in the original Alice Switzer Community Chorus, which was commemorated in a song written and sung by Dan Berggren.

CHARTER MEMBER Savarie was heavily involved with the Minerva Volunteer Fire Department. He was a charter member of the Minerva Rescue Squad in 1956.

With Harold Sylvester and Dr. Ross, he taught most of the first aid classes in the community, becoming an emergency medical technician in the late 1970s, maintaining his certification until the late 1980s.

He was captain of the squad from 1970-74 and again from 1979-85, and assistant captain from 1960-70 and again from 1974-79.

The Savarie residence was one of several base dispatch stations from the late 1950s until 1988, when Minerva entered the 911 system.

Savarie was always a leader in the world of local emergency medical services, pushing the Rescue Squad to improve training, equipment and standard of care. In this respect, he assisted greatly in the formation of an Advanced Life Support system within the region.

He was named Rescue Squad member of the year in 1986-92, and also won a New York State Department of Health Leadership Award in 1992. He was truly the top responder within the Rescue Squad during most of his active years.

RETIRED LIFE Savarie and his wife opened up an antique shop at their home after his retirement from the school, and ran the business until just recently.

They also became licensed to sell insurance, something they enjoyed doing for 27 years.

Savarie is a proud veteran, having served with the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1945 after being drafted at age 18. He served in Europe and in the Philippines, becoming a staff sargent just prior to returning to the United States in the spring of 1945.

Before joining the military, he worked at the Lake Theater in Indian Lake doing custodial work, running the projector and providing refreshments for all the satisfied patrons at the theater.

Savarie represents true volunteerism. Ò Anything IÕ ve done in Minerva as a volunteer IÕ ve gotten back ten-fold, especially in terms of quality of life,Ó he said. Ò A volunteer does not expect thanks for what they do.

Community service is extremely important in a small community.Ó Savarie will be honored during the Minerva Day celebration on July 1, where he will be found riding in a vehicle at the head of the annual parade.

Indian Lake American Legion looking for a few good men Just a handful of aging members keep American Legion Post 1392 going

By Christopher South

chris@suncommunitynews.com

INDIAN LAKE Ñ American Legion Post 1392 in Indian Lake is in dire need of some help.

Post Adjutant Frank Casazza, 92, said he is among some 65 members on the roster.

But there are only three to nine members who keep the post going. Ò These members are 65 to 95 years old,Ó Casazza said.

Casazza was stationed in England during World War II as part of the 8th Air Force 446th Bomber Group, where he was a navigator on heavy bombers such as the B-24.

These days, he and three or four other guys will go to the landfill and navigate through the deposit cans and bottles, separating them and taking them back to the post. Ò ItÕ s pretty labor intensive,Ó Casazza said.

According to Casazza, a man comes to the post and picks up the recycling, and

pays them on his next visit.

The money collected goes to support the post and its charitable efforts. However, he said, itÕ s the same half-dozen members who are involved in the work the American Legion does.

Without active members, Casazza fears the post will be forced to disband.

And without the American Legion, there would be: No donations from the Legion to the Volunteer Fire Company and Ambulance Corps; no LegionÕ s scholarships for

high school seniors; no free use of medical aids, such as walkers, crutches and hospital beds.

There will be no veterans organization to lay wreaths on Memorial Day; no organization to put flags on veteransÕ graves; no hall available as a meeting place; no burial detail; no free ice cream on Flag Day for school children; no spring cleanup along the roadway; no free breakfast for town work crews; no contributions for community youth programs, and no local support for veterans.

Casazza said in the winter there are four or five members who will do the postÕ s work. In the summer they can get about nine guys. Ò That is if we have help from guys who are not even membersÉ not even military,Ó he said.

The American Legion goes to the landfill every Monday and Friday at 7 a.m. and works for anywhere from a halfhour to an hour, or so. Ò All we are looking for is a couple hours per month,Ó he said.

Afterwards, they meet for coffee at the One Stop (Mondays) or the Cedar Rivers Golf Course (Fridays).

Post 1392 also has trouble making the slate of officers required for the Legion, with some of them doing double duty.

American Legion Post 1392 meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. at 6362 W. Main St., Indian Lake.

For more information or to join the post, call Casazza at (518) 648-5263, or post commander Ken Cannan at (518) 648-5624.

A photo from American Legion Post 1392 shows members from the Indian Lake post collecting cans and bottles at the town landfill. Revenue from the deposits go to supporting the post’s community efforts.

CommunityÊ buy-inÊ neededÊ forÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê sustainedÊ mountainÊ bikingÊ sucess

he mountain biking community is riding high after a series of recent developments have put the area on the map as a premier destination.

An updated amendment to a state land use plan has paved the way to develop nearly five miles of new mountain biking trails in Wilmington.

State and local governments are working with the private sector to harness the growing interest in the activity and develop collaborative models to continue to develop and strengthen the sportÕ s foothold in the Adirondack Park.

The state has acknowledged the importance of the sport in generating tourism Ñ including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose office took the rare step earlier this month of promoting travel to the region in a press release designed solely for that purpose.

All of this seems to have paid off. Ò National GeographicÓ last month featured the area in its list of AmericaÕ s 20 Best Mountain Bike Towns.

Wilmington in Essex County was just one of only two northeastern U.S. communities featured.

ThatÕ s a huge boost for the region, which has worked hard to get to this point.

The accolades come after stakeholders at a conference in Lake Placid this spring said the entire Adirondack Park has the potential to be a premiere mountain biking destination, rivaling New Hampshire and Vermont.

In doing so, the sport can be a main driver of economic development.

WeÕ d love to see this expand across the North Country.

WouldnÕ t it be great if riders could start in Saranac Lake, ride through Keene and Elizabethtown and continue to Lake George?

But it canÕ t happen without a blueprint.

Thankfully we already have one.

The partnership forged between Wilmington, the DEC, the Adirondack Mountain Club and the Barkeater Trails Alliance (BETA), among other groups, is the type of community-based approach that should be emulated everywhere.

BETA has been the driving force in establishing trail systems in Wilmington, Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.

The other agencies aid with land access, construction and maintenance.

BETA has also lobbied for a series of proposals in the proposed Saranac Lakes Wild Forest Unit Management Plan that would construct 35 miles of mountain bike trails in the Tri-Lakes region, much of which would connect to current community trail systems and the Adirondack Rail Trail.

But while the Adirondack Park already has a lot going for it Ñ namely its gold-plated status as a vacation destination Ñ mountain biking as a specific industry still faces hurdles, according to the Northern Forest Center.

Infrastructure remains inconsistent. ThereÕ s a dearth of trails, and many that do exist arenÕ t up to the standards deemed acceptable by fickle bikers.

Funding is a crapshoot, and there is a lack of understanding in the public sector when it comes to leveraging municipal assets to create desirable destinations.

Furthermore, there arenÕ t enough businesses Ñ places like brewpubs and burger joints Ñ to accommodate bikers once theyÕ ve completed the dayÕ s riding.

This means the Adirondack Park remains a tough sell for the lucrative market.

To really give the concept wings, the region should develop a community-based strategy.

That includes bringing existing infrastructure up to professional standards.

We need strong elements to pull together efforts into a unified organizational umbrella, including marketing and branding work.

Funds are also needed to help the state and groups like BETA to wean themselves away from an over-reliance on volunteers.

Localities should also take a serious approach in examining how they can foster this sport, making it a regular agenda item when discussing economic development.

Private trail networks should allow mountain bikers to use their infrastructure. Doing so would help diversify circuits and offer more than reliance on state lands.

This should be a no brainer considering the infrastructure already exists Ñ especially in the Champlain Valley.

And some state investment would be helpful.

Groups like BETA say dedicated trail crews would go a long way in allowing them to grow their networks and remain competitive with other markets.

As as other emerging local groups take a message from their playbook, it would behoof the state to make this a priority Ñ especially as theyÕ re pumping tens of millions of economic development funds into the region each year.

ABOVE: Groups like the Barkeaters Trail Alliance are critical in developing the mountain biking industry in the Adirondack Park.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

YesÊ toÊ AmericanÊ jobs,Ê noÊ toÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê climateÊ hoax!

Hard to overstate is the hypocrisy of well-heeled commentators who ignore the very real pain a treaty powerless to trump Sun-driven climate change would have inflicted on AmericaÕ s workers, commentators bent instead on pouring trillions of these workersÕ tax dollars Ð plus yours and mine Ð down the Paris rat hole. Just because Ò leadersÓ like Merkel and Macron collude with what amounts to an unavowed racket is no reason for us all to be forced to genuflect and pay.

As for the Ò scienceÓ behind the Paris Treaty....behind-thescenes Agenda-pushers trash Paradise as Ò fantasyÓ ...yet claim they can bring us Garden-of-Eden climate. Fact: CHANGE, the sole climate constant, we canÕ t stop: Our Sun rules, with power 17,900x greater than all humankindÕ s!

Racketeers and their media allies paint the last PrezÕ s EPA Ò proÓ -science...yet it absurdly tarred CO2 as Ò air pollutionÓ !

Fact: We all exhale CO2, a life-sustaining, plant-feeding, green-keeping trace gas that now, 250+ years into the Industrial Age, still is just 0.0004 of our atmosphere....the Ò tip of the tailÓ that canÕ t wag the dog.

They idolize IPCC Ò scienceÓ ...yet IPCC brayed Ò Himalaya glaciers gone by 2035Ó , then admitted having Ò highlightedÓ researcher KotlyakovÕ s Ò maybe by 2350Ó to sell its straitjacket --- a Ò Lie-Big!Ó switch propagandists worldwide love.

Fact: Ò HimalayaGateÓ joined multiple other climate cons, like Ò ClimateGateÓ (where hackers exposed 1,000+ IPCC-insider e-mails & data files involving contrived temperature hikes, excluding cold sites but including warm ones and schemes to discredit dissenting true scientists).

Al Ò I-virtually-invented-the-InternetÓ Gore touts conservation...yet blows on power $11K a month, enough for a year for just-folks like you Ô n me. Fact: He Ò earnedÓ 9-figure wealth by climate-panic-mongering.

A North Country reader bewailed stayed-put blue birds this winter...forgetting feathered friends fled 2014, Ô 15 & Ô 16 record freezes. Fact: 43% of February and 68% of March cold records at Adirondack Regional Airport have been notched not Ò way back whenÓ but in this young century. Ò California perma-drought!Ó they screamed...yet this seasonÕ s all-time record precip there is climbing past 93Ó ! Fact: California top drought was 1924Õ s 17Ó vs. 2014Õ s most-recentworst 31Ó ! Ò ResistanceÓ kingpins know theyÕ re lying, their young recruits donÕ t. Sadly, these cynical manipulators are able to exploit the in-born idealism of their millennial admirers because, first, Ò mainstreamÓ media blare fable but bury fact, and, second, because National Ò EducationÓ Association allies have turned much of Public Ò EdÓ into keep-Õ em-as-ignorantas-possible Indoctrination. (NB: Ò Dumb Ô em down,Ó often heard, distorts: You can be bright but flat wrong...if youÕ ve been kept unaware/ignorant of reality.)

Hans Kurr Indian Lake PublisherÕ s note: The following letter, which ran last week, is being re-published. Several minor unintended grammatical changes made during the proofing process changed the authorÕ s intended meaning. We regret the error.

CheckingÊ theÊ factsÊ onÊ ParisÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê ClimateÊ Agreement To the Editor: Mr. Hans KurrÕ s letter supporting our presidentÕ s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement in the June 17 issue is rife with incorrect assertions and faulty logic.

This is surprising, given the authorÕ s criticism of allegedly ignorant millennials suckered by media fables and Ò dumbed downÓ by our educational system.

Mr. Kurr asserts, without attribution, the avoidance of Ò trillions of tax dollarsÓ poured down the Ò Paris rat hole.Ó The Paris Agreement is available here: unfccc.int/files/ essential_background/convention/application/pdf/english_ paris_agreement.pdf.

There are no requirements for countries, including the United States, to pay anything. The agreement lets individual countries set and adjust their own carbon targets, which are non-binding.

ThatÕ s why itÕ s not referred to as a treaty, itÕ s a pseudocontract that lets parties unilaterally change limits as they please.

Instead of the alleged trillions, a separate agreement pledged the United States to commit a thousandth of that ($3 billion) to a Green Climate Fund.

So far $1 billion has been paid, and presumably Mr. Trump will renege on the remainder.

One hopes Mr. Kurr doesnÕ t rely on our president for factual information. As a source, heÕ s demonstrably not credible.

The Washington Post keeps a running count of TrumpÕ s documented false or misleading claims.

Over 600 falsehoods have been documented just since the inauguration, according to the Washington Post.

On April 29, Mr. Trump claimed that compliance with the agreement could shrink U.S. GDP by $2.5 trillion. The media, including USA Today. quickly debunked that claim, yet Mr. Trump repeated it in his June 1 speech announcing our withdrawal from the Paris agreement.

Mr. Kurr says itÕ s a fact that the sunÕ s power is Ò 17,900 times greater than all humankind.Ó I canÕ t find a source for that peculiar statistic and why itÕ s even relevant. The solar energy reaching the earthÕ s surface, and the energy generated by humans, can however be calculated using readily available data from the internet. I figured the sun provides half his claim (8,000 times more energy per day than we generate from all sources).

So unintentionally, Mr. Kurr provided a great rationale for renewable energy. Harnessing just a fraction of available solar energy can provide renewable power to humankind with lower carbon emissions. ThatÕ s a giant economic opportunity, one of the reasons why so many major U.S. corporations opposed Mr. TrumpÕ s decision.

Carbon dioxide is another topic of misstatements.

First, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere he referenced is off by a factor of one hundred.

Second, the Ò last presidentÕ s EPAÓ didnÕ t deem carbon dioxide a pollutant requiring regulation. The Supreme Court decided that issue two years before Obama was elected.

In Massachusetts v. EPA the court held that the EPA had a statutory obligation to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2. (The ruling is available here: supremecourt. gov/opinions/06pdf/05-1120.pdf).

After years of bureaucratic delays and obstruction, in 2014 the EPA issued proposed regulations, known as the Clean Power Plan, to comply with the ruling. The implementation of these regulations have been delayed due to court challenges.

Mr. Trump issued an Executive Order directing the EPA to rescind them, but now another plan has to be created to comply with the 2006 Supreme Court ruling.

Mr. Kurr asserts that people who disapproved of Mr. TrumpÕ s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement were easily duped by the IPCC and Al Gore.

A large majority (62 percent) of voters surveyed by Quinnipiac on June 6 opposed Mr. TrumpÕ s decision. Is it at least possible that many voters based their opinions on other sources, such as NASA? (climate.nasa.gov/causes).

Anecdotal weather records at one airport are cited as proof that global warming is a hoax. This conveniently ignores that 2016 was EarthÕ s hottest year, breaking the record for the third year in a row, according to the New York Times.

ItÕ s vital to scientifically question widely held theories Ñ including anthropogenic climate change. However, the scientific method demands undisputed facts and valid experimental data. Science is never advanced using opinions, generalizations, ad hominem attacks and alternative facts.

From the Mayor

Where art thou, Syracuse?

Colin Read

Mayor of Plattsburgh, readc@cityofplattsburgh.ny,gov

J

efferson County is the second most rapidly shrinking county in the nation. And, Syracuse, one of our stateÕ s grand cities, is considering collapsing into Onondaga County. It isnÕ t easy to maintain cities and counties in rural New York, or rural anywhere these days.

And itÕ s getting more difficult all the time.

New YorkÕ s truly a victim of our own successes and excesses. Once one of the fastest growing states in the country, now only a handful of states are shrinking faster than we are. Meanwhile, New YorkÕ s loss is FloridaÕ s gain. ItÕ s the fastest growing state in the eastern part of the country.

Our once lustrious success gave rise to the great cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, Binghamton, and the great small city of Plattsburgh. These were bustling and growing places, and that rapid growth in population and industry allowed our cities to fund municipal growth through population increases rather than higher taxes.

Our hope for population growth isnÕ t new to this nation.

The entire Social Security system depends critically on a growing population to pay for the benefits of current retirees. We now see that when population growth starts to stagnate, our social security system spirals downward.

Cities work the same way. When municipalities make grand promises in the past, but ask future taxpayers to pay for them, we mortgage our entire future. When population declines forces us to raise taxes to fund mounting expenditures, a downward spiral begins.

Then, with taxes mounting, we can expect nothing short of even greater population declines, as people decide to live out their golden retirement years in much cheaper regions like the Carolinas and Florida.

There are only three possible outcomes to this dilemma.

One is to reverse the population declines and renew double-digit growth each decade. There are almost no examples of small to medium sized Northeastern cities that have managed such a reversal of population fortunes.

The second is municipal dissolution or bankruptcy. We are beginning to see a wave of such drastic actions over the past few years, and I expect to see many more over the next generation.

The third outcome, and the only one I find feasible and palatable, is the right-sizing of municipalities. A city must first determine a long term pathway for municipal revenues that can retain current residents and businesses, and attract future residents who are shopping around for affordable communities.

Cities can use modest revenue growth with dramatic expenditure reductions to shift the tide. Plattsburgh recently created a five year budget >> See READ | pg. 13

Dot and Johnstock raises over $6,500 for Cindy’s Community turns out to aid cancer survivors, families

By Chris South

chris@suncommunitynews.com

STONY CREEK Ñ The 9th annual Dot and Johnstock at the Stony Creek Inn raised over $6,500 for the CindyÕ s Cancer Retreats and the Southern Adirondacks Musicians (SAM) Fund, June 17.

Stony Creek Inn owners Dot and John Bartell have been hosting the event to nine years after having been diagnosed with cancer themselves. They are also big supporters of local music and musicians at the Stony Creek Inn. The proceeds of the benefit, raised by ticket sales, silent auctions, raffles, and other donations.

Dot Bartell said they had received over 200 donations for silent auction items, including vases of flowers, musical in-

struments, and various hand-made items. Local artist Debbie Kirkpatrick, hand-decorated a wooden door, which was raffled.

Bartell said the raffle for the over-sized Big Daddy camouflaged chair brought in about $550 alone, and was won by a local guy.

A silent auction of a wall full of pocketbooks yielded about $300, Bartell said.

She said they have been auctioning the handbags for about three years after seeing a similar auction at the Glens Falls Hospital. Ò We decided to do it and bought all these bags. We also got a donation of costume jewelry,Ó Bartell said. Ò Kathy Pitalli does a wonderful job with it.Ó Bartell said the silent auctions alone raised about $3,000. Ò WeÕ re still waiting for the final amount, but we easily hit $6,500-plus,Ó she said.

Bartell said money would continue to

come in for a while. Ò John just walked over to the marketplace and a guy stopped him and said, Ô Hey, sorry I couldnÕ t make it,Õ and it gave him a check for $100,Ó Bartell said, Ò so even afterward itÕ s still generating for a little bit.Ó Bartell said people also carry around the good feeling of the event for a while.

Bartell said Saturday was a great day

for the annual event, but it was also a good day for promoting cancer awareness, promoting good feelings, and developing camaraderie, which she said is what the Stony Creek Inn is all about. Ò ItÕ s about the here, and the now, and the day,Ó she said.

Group of athletes lobby for more pickleball courts in Chestertown

By Christopher South

chris@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN Ñ The Chestertown Town Board has approved a residentÕ s request to set up more pickleball courts to accommodate a growing interest in the sport.

At the regular June town meeting, Al Muench, who said he represented about 70 people who are interested in playing pickleball, made three requests of the Town Board: permission to set up two pickleball courts on the existing basketball court in the municipal complex, the temporary use of a tennis net, and permission to locate a storage box for nets and balls to be located in the corner of the tennis courts.

Pickleball is similar to tennis, but uses a badminton net, hard paddles, and a whiffle ball.

Muench said he has a list of 67 pickleball players, but he feels there are more, and itÕ s gotten to the point where there are too many players and too few courts.

He said two courts could be laid out on the basketball court.

According to the USA Pickleball Association website (usapa.org), a pickleball court is 20-feet by 44-feet, and two courts, and two easily feet inside the 50 by 96 basketball court at the municipal complex. Ò WeÕ d like to paint lines on the basketball court for two pickleball courts,Ó Muench said. Ò WeÕ ll get volunteers to paint the courts.Ó Muench said, with the boardÕ s permission, the courts could be painted in a week or two.

They average 14 to 20 people coming out to play pickleball on the tennis courts. He said a couple weeks ago there were 31 players, who had to wait for the oppor-

tunity to play.

Board member Michael Packer said he did not want pickleball to interfere with kidsÕ use of the basketball court.

Muench promised they would not interfere, and would share the court where possible. He said they needed to place a storage box, approximately 2-feet by 4-feet at the tennis court. Council member Edna Wells expressed concern that it wouldnÕ t be a tripping hazard.

Mary Clark of Pottersville recommended setting up pickleball courts on the public basketball court in Pottersville.

Clark, who later presented the board with a list of items needing upgrades, included the basketball court as an area needing a facelift.

The Town Board approved MuenchÕ s request by a 5-0 vote.

OBITUARIES

JohnÊ RobertÊ Collins BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE John Robert Collins Jr. died on June 16, 2017 at his home in Blue Mountain Lake surrounded by his family.

John dearly loved his life in the Adirondacks, where he had deep roots. His ancestors farmed in Chestertown and North Creek after emigrating from Ireland. His grandparents were caretakers at the Great Camp Sagamore for the Vanderbilt family and his parents John Sr. and Helen ran the family resort, the Hedges in Blue Mountain Lake, for nearly 50 years.

John was born on Feb. 1, 1938. He and his older sister Barbara and younger brother Michael were raised at the Hedges, where he spent many summers working at the family business.

He attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse in Blue Mountain Lake. He graduated from Indian Lake Central School in 1955 and then served in the Army until 1959, where he spent three years working with antiaircraft guns and Honest John missiles, the last two years in Europe.

John graduated from Manhattan College with a B.A. in history in 1964. There he thoroughly enjoyed and valued his Jesuit education, loved New York City and made lifelong friends. He then began teaching the sixth grade in Rome, New York, where he found working with children truly rewarding and decided to make teaching his profession. He enrolled in graduate school at SUNY New Paltz to earn his teaching certification.

John taught at Leptondale Elementary School in Wallkill, Chestertown Central School, and then for twenty-six years taught the fifth grade at Long Lake Central School where he was beloved as Ò Mr. C.Ó When it was his turn to advise the senior class and plan the senior trip, John and Ellen took the students abroad to London and Paris. Ñ

In 1966, John married Ellen C. Callaghan, who had come to the Hedges for a summer job, and with whom he celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2016. They have two daughters, Cathleen and Sarah. Cathleen Collins and her husband Peter Bauer live in Blue Mountain Lake with their two sons, Jake and Andy. Sarah Collins and her husband Charles Giordano live in Brooklyn with their daughter Lena.

John believed in service to his community and worked to protect the things he cherished. He served on the Indian Lake Town Planning Board starting in 1968, and served as its chairman for nearly a decade. He served as a member, and then president, of the Board of Trustees of the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake. He served on the school board of Indian Lake Central School for five years. In 1984 John was appointed to the Adirondack Park Agency Board by Gov. Mario Cuomo. He served until 1995 with his last three years as APA Chairman.

John was a founder of the ResidentsÕ Committee to Protect the Adirondacks in 1991, which worked to protect the Adirondack Park. He also served as a trustee of the Northern Forest Center, which works to create jobs, leverage investment and conserve forests for community benefit in the northern regions of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

John served the Adirondack Museum in many capacities, initially as a board trustee beginning in 1991, then as acting director in 2001, director in 2002, and honorary trustee in 2005. John served as a trustee of the Bruce L. Crary Foundation, which grants money to Adirondack students to assist with college expenses.

While JohnÕ s interest in protecting wild spaces ranged to the Atlantic, his true love was Blue Mountain Lake, the heart of the Adirondacks. After retiring from teaching he continued to put in full weeks working outside as a jack-of-all-trades with his pick-up truck for his family and friends and volunteering his time, patience and expertise to a number of local organizations and community projects. John was a longtime officer of the Blue Mountain Lake Association and key member of Blue Mountain Lake Water Watch. His ability to cheerfully reconcile a wide range of viewpoints and personalities served him well in his work, his public service, and his large extended family.

John and Ellen were always happy to get out on the water or into the woods. They enjoyed many hikes, canoe, and cross-country ski trips. In the last years of his life, John spent his winters splitting and stacking firewood and his summers driving and maintaining his wooden launch. He saved time every day for a crossword, The New York Times and some Netflix, often from a chair in front of a crackling fire. JohnÕ s home was always open to visitors, friends and family, where he and Ellen happily hosted many big and delicious dinners, followed by long conversations and an occasional penny poker game.

For many years, John and Ellen lived with JohnÕ s mother Helen in Blue Mountain Lake. John and Ellen cared for her until her death at home in 2001. John is survived by his loving wife Ellen, devoted daughters Cathleen (Peter) and Sarah (Charles), and adoring grandchildren Jake, Andy and Lena, and his older sister Barbara. John was pre-deceased by his brother Michael in 1961.

John had six nieces and nephews and 13 first cousins, who grew during his life into dozens of families of Ò cousins,Ó most of whom return to vacation in Blue Mountain Lake each year.

When John was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he told his family and friends: Ò I have had a very good life-great parents and family, great wife, great children, jobs that I liked, and a wonderful environment to live in. I have no regrets.Ó John and his family were deeply moved by the many emails, notes, and visits from people who told Ò JohnnyÓ how he had touched their lives. John was deeply loved and admired, and will be sorely missed.

Calling hours will be held on Friday, June 23, from 4-7 p.m. at the Miller Funeral Home, 6357 NYS Rte. 28, Indian Lake.

A celebration of JohnÕ s life will be held at the Adirondack Museum Auditorium in Blue Mountain Lake on Saturday, June 24 at 11:30 a.m. and a reception will follow from 1-4 p.m. at the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Protect the Adirondacks, the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, or High Peaks Hospice.

outlook that included modest revenue increases each year.

The harder part of the exercise is to reverse the trend in expenditures.

Cities must first curb increasing spending, and then bend the curve downward dramatically.

In fact, for every dollar increase in revenue, a smart city should try to reduce spending by multiple dollars.

Spending reductions are surely harder than the too-time-honored approach of raising taxes. We must challenge what a city ought do, what its essential services are, where it can discover efficiencies or shared services, and what we can do without.

Answering these questions is difficult. ItÕ s far easier to freeze or modestly reduce than to significantly reduce spending. A hiring postponed is far easier than the emotionally wrenching layoff. To try to negotiate more affordable and sustainable contracts

with worker groups is equally difficult.

ItÕ s no wonder economics is called the dismal science. ItÕ s painful to delve deeply into such unpopular territory as the downsizing of a beloved city, region, or nation.

But, most things really worth doing are difficult. The successful among us are those who have the courage to take the path less traveled.

Cities and nations are no different. If we can right-size, but at the same time have a vision for the future, are the cities and regions, we can create opportunity out of challenge.

We are capable of addressing this challenge in our region and in Plattsburgh because we must. We see the promise of family, natural beauty, and history all around us that make this worthwhile, and we have the awareness of what we can do while others fail to recognize.

ThatÕ s why IÕ m optimistic about our future.

For our childrenÕ s sake.

Canon << Continued from| p. 1

president of the Adirondack Associations of Towns and Villages for nearly a decade, an organization he cofounded with Monroe and other regional officials.

Prior to that, recalled former state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, there was no platform to bring leaders together to maintain a sense of balance in the Adirondack Park. Ò He was definitely Mr. Adirondack,Ó Sayward said.

Canon also served on the Northern Forest Lands Council Advisory Committee, the four-state coalition working to achieve balance in environmental policies in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, Monroe said.

He also served as president of the Association of Towns.

Canon, recalled Monroe, was instrumental in ending the state practice of seizing land through eminent domain for inclusion in the state Forest Preserve.

He also worked with state Sen. Ronald Stafford to ensure the state could not use monies from the Environmental Protection Fund to purchase Forest Preserve land if local governments objected. Ò He was a mentor to all of us, whether at the AATV or for Adirondack issues Ñ period,Ó said Gerald Delaney, the groupÕ s current chairman. Ò He had tremendous influence. George knew everyone, and everyone seemed to know George.Ó Canon also used his cachet to lead efforts to preserve Camp Santanoni, the historic Great Camp in Newcomb, as well as ensure the railroad tracks from North Creek to Tahawus remained intact after the railway ceased operations.

Other efforts, including a push to reopen Tahawus mining, failed to materialize. Ò Any Adirondack issue there was, he was involved in it Ñ and he was very effective in doing it,Ó Monroe said. Ò Whatever progress we made is in fact due to his efforts.Ó Ô A WONDERFUL MANÕ Ò George was a wonderful man, a great leader for Newcomb and a fierce advocate for all of the residents of the Adirondacks,Ó said former Gov. George Pataki. Ò All of us who knew him are saddened by the loss of our friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Monica and his family.Ó Former Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas called Canon a mentor and a Ò wonderful, wonderfulÓ man.

www.suncommunitynews.com

Ò He knew everybody, he knew how to treat people, and he knew how to get things done,Ó Douglas said.

Douglas recalled when Canon took him under his wing as a newly-elected lawmaker in the early2000s.

The pair went to Washington, D.C. and met with then-U.S. Rep. John McHugh. Ò Hey John, I need you to help my buddy. HeÕ s a rookie, and heÕ s got a problem,Ó Canon told McHugh.

Two weeks later, Douglas was notified the Town of Jay had received $500,000 for a water project in Upper Jay. On another trip, Canon brought Douglas to an ice cream shop, where he knew the owner.

The pair bonded over a hot fudge sundae. Ò And we became damn good friends ever since,Ó Douglas said.

Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber recounted a trip to Albany when Richard Brodsky, the chairman of the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee, asked Canon on the floor of the Assembly what he was willing to give up when negotiating airport issues in Hamilton County. Ò I might as well give you the shirt off my back, because itÕ s the only thing you havenÕ t already gotten,Ó said Canon without missing a beat.

That story entered into AATV lore, as did countless others.

Canon, said Farber, had incredibly intuitive people skills that allowed him to understand the politics of both Albany and the Adirondacks alike. Ò The Adirondacks and North Country have lost a great leader of a generation,Ó Farber said.

Before Canon, the Adirondack Park had zero clout, recalled Sayward. Ò The people in the Adirondacks didnÕ t have any, and George would go toe-to-toe with the attorneys and the environmental groups,Ó Sayward recalled.

Canon, said Douglas, was beloved by everyone. Ò I know (Gov. Andrew Cuomo) thought the world of him,Ó Douglas said, citing a phone call the governor made to his hospital room as Canon convalesced after an illness in 2014. Ò Everyone liked him.Ó Monroe recalled Canon used to cook chili and venison whenever AATV meetings were held in Newcomb. Ò He very much will be missed,Ó Monroe said. Ò George was a great friend to all who knew him, whether they agreed with him on the issues or not.

He was liked and respected.Ó NATIVE SON Born on Nov. 11, 1938 in Indian Lake, Canon graduated from Newcomb Central School in 1957.

He moved to Newcomb after National Lead relocated the village of Tahawus in 1963.

More than 70 buildings, most of them houses, made the 10-mile trek across Route 28N. Ò I hated the thought of having to move out,Ó Canon told the Sun in 2013. Ò For whatever reason, call it stubbornness or whatever, I didnÕ t go anywhere near much of the move. Obviously IÕ d see it as I went to work every day, but my place was at the Upper Works.Ó But Canon eventually moved to Winebrook Hills, where he made his home among the former Tahawus residents on Marcy Lane.

Canon lived to see the Adirondacks transformed from an Albany afterthought to a place with deep state investments designed to brand the region as a premier tourist destination, from the Adirondack Challenge to the upcoming project designed to transform the former Frontier Town in North Hudson into a tourism hub.

But despite the progress, Canon never took his foot off the gas when it came to warning against adding more Wilderness to the state Forest Preserve, arguing recreation and access was critical to the ongoing survival of the local economies in the central Adirondacks, including the Five Towns of Newcomb, Minerva, North Hudson, Long Lake and Indian Lake, who came together and forged an alliance this past decade.

More recently, Canon played a leading role in brokering the deal between the towns and environmen-

tal groups to include snowmobile access on the Essex Chain Lakes area.

He continued to stay involved in local issues, including the ongoing debate over how Boreas Ponds should be classified.

As discussions mellowed over time, Canon, who had a quick wit, remained a warrior from a more divisive era, when the Adirondack Park was polarized during the heated land use debates that characterized the early 1990s.

He was known for being outspoken against environmentalists, and never shied away from offering a strong soundbite.

But as the mood governing discourse in the Adirondack Park shifted in recent years, Canon showed he, too, could change with the times.

Canon became a reliable presence at the Common Ground Alliance, the annual pow-wow of stakeholders seeking solutions to local issues, where he found himself sitting across the table Ñ literally Ñ from his polar ideological opposites to discuss issues like clean water infrastructure and combatting the spread of invasive species. Ô POWDERPUFFÕ Sayward, a former Willsboro supervisor, said Canon served as her mentor when she joined the board, and remained a dear friend.

The very first time she entered the Old County Courthouse in Elizabethtown, he said, Ò I think IÕ m going to call you powderpuff.Ó Ò He had a wonderful sense of humor,Ó said Sayward.

Condolences poured in on Sunday.

State Assemblyman Dan Stec called Canon Ò one of the most respected and thoughtful Adirondack policy makers in recent times.Ó Ò His knowledge of the parkÕ s issues and history was matched by his passion for the beauty of the Adirondacks and the well being of its residents,Ó Stec said. Ò His passing is a tremendous loss for the North Country and for all of New York State as well as a personal loss to me, my family and all who had the good fortune to have known him.Ó Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) said she was Ò saddenedÓ and called Canon a Ò tireless advocate for the Adirondacks.Ó Ò The legend of the Adirondacks left us for a higher calling,Ó wrote Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Preston on Facebook. Ò I cherish the time I spent with you my friend!Ó Former Essex County Board of Supervisors Clerk of the Board Debbie Palmer said Canon will be missed. Ò (He) held a place in our hearts for many years,Ó she said on social media. Ò It is with a sad and heavy heart we have to say good-bye but the memories will live on.Ó Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague also praised Canon. Ò He will be missed dearly,Ó she said. Ò A great man indeed.Ó The Essex County Board of Supervisors, where Canon had served for a quarter-century, is expected to honor Canon on Monday.

LATER YEARS Canon retired at the end of 2015, capping more than three decades of public service.

He appeared at an APA public hearing at Newcomb Central in November, where he called the multi-use snowmobile connector trail between the Five Towns a Ò long-time dreamÓ he hoped to eventually see realized. Ò ItÕ s encouraging to see the state encourage compromised relationships between different views or thoughts Ñ and thatÕ s what this thing is,Ó Canon told the Sun before leaving office in late-2015.

Canon said he would have liked to have more recreational access, and predicted the case would likely end up in court. Ò IÕ ll be watching this from the sidelines,Ó he said.

Information on survivors was not immediately available by Sunday evening.

Memorial services are tentatively scheduled to be held July 1 at Newcomb Central School. Edward L. Kelly Funeral Home in Schroon Lake is handling arrangements. Ñ

Lohr McKinstry contributed reporting

Ò We received exciting news May 16, one day prior to the spring concert and budget vote,Ó Mulvey said. Ò It was the good news they had been waiting and hoping for came through.Ó School superintendent David Snide made a public announcement and congratulated Mulvey and Dora for their dedicated service to the school at the Spring Concert the following evening.

Million Dollar Beach closed for E-coli

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE Ñ One of the regionÕ s top tourist attractions will remain closed to swimming at least through Friday June 23 due to high levels of E.coli contamination in Lake George, officials said.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation confirmed the closure of the Million Dollar Beach on Wednesday morning. Ò DEC is committed to finding and eliminating the bacteria causing this contamination and ensuring visitors to Lake GeorgeÕ s Million Dollar Beach have clean water to swim in,Ó said DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos in a statement.

State authorities mandated the week-long closure which began on Monday following lakewater quality tests that showed levels of E.coli bacteria higher than state standards.

Results from water samples taken on June 18 showed colonies of E.coli per 100 ml risk level.

Recent excessive rains, the DEC said, may have contributed to the presence of the bacteria.

The latest shutdown of the iconic beach follows a series of closures and delays over the past two weeks for the same problem. The beach had been scheduled to be open for swimming every day this summer through Labor Day. Lake George Supervisor Dennis Dickinson spent Tuesday communicating with state and area environmental officials about the beach closure.

The DEC and the state Health Department were continuing to test water quality at various sites near the beach, he said, while DEC employees, town workers and environmental agency representatives were inspecting sanitary and storm sewer lines around the southern end of

the lake. Ò We donÕ t have any definitive answers at this point,Ó Dickinson said of their intensive investigation, which included inspecting the townÕ s 200 sewer manholes, and sending robotic cameras through sewer pipes. Ò ItÕ s still not clear whatÕ s causing the high levels of E.coli.Ó Seggos said the state agency was tracking down Ò every possible source of contamination.Ó The beach was closed down much of last August after tests showed bacteria counts as high as four times the levels considered safe for swimming. It was the first time for such an incident at Million Dollar Beach.

The highest bacteria counts were recorded around East Brook, not far from Million Dollar beach, DEC officials said.
