Adirondack abolitionist families reunite

Saranac Lake honor roll PAGE 5

SARANAC LAKE — In August of 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown and Frederick Douglass, American Social Reformer and freed slave, met for the last time after working closely together for over a decade to bring about social change and help escaped slaves through the underground railroad.

For nearly 153 years, the Brown and Douglass families never met again.

On Nov. 30, the gap was

closed by less than ten steps as Alice Keesey Mecoy walked across the room to meet Kenneth B. Morris.

“I’ve been waiting a long time to meet you,” She exclaimed as the two hugged.

Mecoy, the great-greatgreat-granddaughter of John Brown, and Morris, the great-great-great grandson of Frederick Douglass, closed the gap of time between the two families with their first in-person meeting at the 150 year anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation event at North Country Community

College Campus.

“The families were friends up until 1859,” Mecoy said.

“The last time they talked was in the quarry in August prior to Harper ’s Ferry when Douglas told John Brown it wasn’t a good idea and he wasn’t going to participate (in Harper ’s Ferry).”

Brown and his group of 21 men were caught had gone to capture the arsenal at Harper ’s Ferry hoping to start a revolution to end slavery. Though they were captured and later executed, Douglass later said their efforts were the basis for the

end of slavery.

From then on when the families would see each other, Mecoy said for one reason or another they just didn’t communicate and ultimately drifted apart.

Today, Mecoy and Morris continue the legacy of their abolitionist ancestors through the Frederick Douglass Family Foundation, of which Morris is the founder and president and Mecoy on the board of advisors, one of many organizations she serves on. It exists to serve two purposes: to preserve CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

POTSDAM — The longest-serving member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors passed away Dec. 3 at the age of 77.

St. Armand’s Joyce Morency had been a supervisor for the town since her election in 1981, only the third female to be elected to the position, following Mildred Dobie of North Hudson and Florence Hathaway of Willsboro in 1980.

Morency built up a long list of county accomplishments, serving as county Republican Party chair, budget liaison, vice chair and chair in 1994-95, the first woman to hold the position.

She had been battling cancer, and died at her daughter ’s home in Potsdam around 4:30 a.m. the morning of Dec. 3.

“Joyce was a wealth of knowledge,” Jay Supervisor and current county chair Randy Douglas said. “She was a financial wizard with town and county budgets.

She was a dear friend and a tremendous colleague. She served with quite a few generations of supervisors and had all of their respect.

It’s a great loss for Essex County.”

“Joyce was one of the most dedicated local public officials I ever met as countless times I would stop in at her town hall and she would be the first person to greet me through her office door,” Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau said. “She was totally dedicated to her township and its residents and would spend whatever amount of time it took to solve any problem at hand CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Village comprehensive plan public hearings set in Saranac Lake SARANAC LAKE — The Village of Saranac Lake Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee has released the Draft Village of Comprehensive Plan. Hard copies of the plan are available for viewing at the Village Offices and the Saranac Lake Free Library, and online at saranaclakeny.gov/compplan.

The committee will hold two public hearings regarding the Draft Village of Saranac Lake Comprehensive Plan on Tuesday, Dec. 11, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Town Board Room, 39 Main Street, Saranac Lake and again from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Village Board Room, 39 Main Street.

The Village of Saranac Lake began the process of updating its 1988 comprehensive plan in 2007. At the time, the Village of Saranac Lake and Town of Harrietstown ap-

pointed a joint committee to develop a joint comprehensive plan. After the Town decided not to continue the process, the Village appointed a new committee to complete the project. After receiving a $75,000 New York State Environmental Protection Fund Local Waterfront Revitalization Program grant, the Village hired the LA Group to assist with the completion of the project.

The plan incorporates extensive public input received by both committees generated through surveys, public meetings, committee work sessions, and written comments.

“I have worked with both committees on this project and the level of commitment shown by the volunteer committee members to the project is extraordinary,” Jeremy Evans, Community Development Director,

said. “The LA Group has gone above and beyond what is required to help the Village develop a modern plan that sets forth a positive vision for the future of the Village and recommends realistic steps the community can take to realize the vision.”

Evans said he hopes residents will take the time to attend at least one of the public meetings. Residents who cannot attend a meeting may still submit comments in writing before Dec. 14. Comments can be directed to Evans by email at comdev@saranaclakeny.gov or sent to or dropped off at the Village Offices at 39 Main Street, Saranac Lake, N.Y. 12983.

After public comments and other revisions are incorporated into the draft comprehensive plan, the committee will refer the plan to the Village Board of Trustees for fi-

nal review and adoption. The Board will hold its own public hearing and give the public additional opportunity to comment on the plan. Although work on the comprehensive plan is wrapping up, the committee’s work isn’t complete: it has already started the work of updating the land use code, a process that should take 4-6 months.

Benefit dinner planned SARANAC LAKE — A spaghetti dinner for Lucille Richardson is being held on Saturday, Dec. 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. Members of the First United Church of Saranac Lake are hosting the dinner to help Lucille, who suffered a fall resulting in serious injuries earlier this year and continues to incur expenses not covered by insurance.

Valley News - 3

Tri Lakes VN seeks readers to help finalize top stories of the year list ELIZABETHTOWN — Over the past year, a lot has happened in the Tri-Lakes.

The sale of a county-owned nursing home, the search for several people missing, with some still unaccounted for, the killing of a now-famous moose and more have had people talking.

Now, the staff of the Valley News and Denton Publications has come up with a list of the top 10 stories of the year. This week, we will go through the list of honorable mentions. In the Dec. 15 edition, we will go over the stories that finished as the sixth through 10th best stories as voted on by staff.

In the Dec. 22 edition, we will review the stories that ranked second through fifth, based not only on staff voting but online voting by Valley News readers. Go to valleynewsadk.com, and look up polls under the opinion header. The poll link will also be posted on the Valley News’ Facebook and Twitter sites. We are also asking readers to submit comments as they cast their votes for these stories that can be used online and in print.

Finally, in the Dec. 29 edition, we will unveil the story that was voted number one. The choices for the top five are as follows (in random order):

• Essex County sells Horace Nye • Rail trail debate • Bruce The Moose • Colin Gillis search • Adirondack Club and Resort APA and Protect!

Voting will be open from Thursday, Dec. 6 through Friday, Dec. 14.

Honorable mentions: The 114th Assembly District race

longed to Martin. The charges stem from a Nov. 20 incident in which Martin called police at 6:45 p.m. and reported he had been robbed and shot by two white males wearing darkcolored parkas on the train trestle near Pine Street and Broadway.

Local leaders pass

to stay in Jay and help the community recover from Tropical Storm Irene.

While the Republicans had already picked Warren County Chairman Dan Stec as their candidate to replace fellow GOP member Sayward, the Dems were left to scramble, eventually coming together to back Glens Falls lawyer Dennis Tarantino. Stec, backed by Sayward, ended up winning the election.

Saranac Lake shooting

The year started off with the Valley News asking Jay Supervisor and Chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Randy Douglas if he would ever consider a run for state office. He responded that the only way that he would was if state Sen. Betty Little or Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward were to retire.

Sayward, the former Willsboro Supervisor and Essex County chairwoman, did just that in March, announcing that she would not seek re-election in what was about to become the 114th Assembly District after the legislative map was redrawn. Douglas’ name was immediately at the top of everyone’s short list of candidates, but he surprised his Democratic Party and the region, announcing that he felt he needed

Police arrested the victim, 55-year-old man William J. Martin of Saranac Lake, and claimed he was also the triggerman of a shooting late last month. Martin was charged with thirddegree falsely reporting an incident and making a punishable false statement. Village Police Chief Bruce Nason said several sources who knew Martin helped them determine that the gun used in the crime, a .22 caliber rifle, which police found under the train trestle where Martin was shot, be-

Two former heads of the Essex County Board of Supervisors died recently, as Matthew B. Clark Jr., 85, died on Friday, Nov. 23, at his home in Lake Placid; while Joyce Morency passed away Monday, Dec. 3, in Potsdam.

Clark served the town of North Elba as the town clerk from 1954 until 1981, when he ran and won election to the position of town supervisor. He was the chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors from 1990 to 1991.

Morency had been supervisor for the town since her election in 1981, only the second female to be elected to the position, following Mildred Dobie of North Hudson in 1980.

She built up a long list of county accomplishments, serving as county Republican Party chair, budget liaison, vice chair and chair in 1994-95, the first woman to hold the position.

Both were remembered for their dedication to their communities and service in political office, expecially by current North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi, who worked with Clark and battled cancer alongside Morency.

Old Military detour (pictured) Residents and visitors dealt with a major detour through the village of Lake Placid during the busiest months of the summer tourist season as highway crews took steps to try to ease the congestion of traffic, particularly on Saranac Avenue.

With part of the Old Military Road shut down for repaving through October, a detour through the village caused traffic headaches. The detour took drivers along Mill Pond Drive — starting at State Route 73 at the bottom of Mill Hill at the location of the former Downhill Grill — and Wesvalley Road all the way to Saranac Avenue — at the corner near McDonald’s.

The detour, which was supposed to last through Oct. 1, was extended into the latter part of the month in order to complete more work.

Valley News Editorial

Time to battle invasives is now “Lake George is, without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw ... its water is as limpid as crystal.”

So wrote Thomas Jefferson to his daughter in 1791.

But in the modern age — with its isolation compromised by modern transportation, flourishing tourism and development along it shores — Lake George’s purity has come under assault.

In the 1980s, lake scientists at the Darrin Freshwater Institute in Bolton Landing issued warnings that human activities in and around the lake were threatening the quality of the water — which not only provides recreation for residents and visitors, sustenance for wildlife, but drinking water for thousands of local citizens.

The lakewater was being polluted by stormwater runoff and seepage from septic systems in the basin, and it was threatened by nonnative plants and creatures that were beginning to take hold.

In response, regulations over septic systems were toughened, and recently, a law banning the use of phosphorus fertilizers was enacted. Action was taken to control the spread of Eurasian Milfoil, a fast-spreading foreign lakeweed that threatened recreation in shallow bays of the lake.

Then in 2010, a researcher for the Fresh Water Institute discovered Asian clams in the lake, prompting new concern over the spread of invasive species, which experts say threaten the health of the local tourism-based economy, the purity of local drinking water, and the future of the lake itself.

Asian clams, proliferating in western U.S. waterways including Lake Tahoe, multiply at an exponential rate and cause huge algae blooms, threaten traditional recreational activities like swimming and fishing, as well as usurping the food supplies that existing aquatic wildlife depend on.

In response to the threat, environmentalists formed an Asian clam task force, and about 900 benthic-barrier mats were set out in several shallow areas of Lake George to smother the invasives, with the belief the species could be eradicated. The Lake George Association and the Fund for Lake George were leaders in tackling this new threat.

Subsequently, new Asian clam beds were located, and the eradication effort was expanded.

In late September, the Warren County Board of Supervisors pledged $270,000 toward the effort to control Asian clams in Lake George, boosting their accrued contribution to a sum of

$500,000.

In the meantime, the Park Commission had been researching a mandatory inspection and boat-washing program that is expected to curb new introduction of clams and other invasive species into Lake George. They sought to have all boats to be pressure washed if they weren’t certified as clean, drained and dry.

Their initiative was prompted in part by actions taken to control invasive species in Lake Tahoe, as well as a voluntary local Lake Stewards inspection program conducted since 2008 on Lake George by the Lake George Association.

These Lake Stewards, in inspecting more than 24,000 boats, discovered the presence of invasive species present in or on nearly 400 watercraft.

In May, leaders of lakeside municipalities joined with environmental groups pledging to impose a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program if the state didn’t take action on its own through the Park Commission. Their pledge was based on a report which concluded that comprehensive action was needed as soon as possible to curb Asian clams and a half-dozen other invasive species.

Although the science shows that early action is vital to success, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has avoided endorsing a mandatory boat inspection program.

But Friday, Nov. 30, Warren County supervisors serving on two of the panel’s committees voted unanimously in conceptual support of a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program.

If passed on Dec. 21 by the full board, county Attorney would draft a law requiring all boats launched in all the county’s lakes and public ponds to undergo inspection and certification — and when traces of invasives are discovered, the vessels would have to undergo decontamination at a washing station.

We applaud their bold action. At the very least, the resolution may prompt the state to start taking the issue of invasive species seriously.

We also urge the political leaders of all Adirondack counties to enact parallel resolutions so Warren County’s message carries more weight with the state’s legislators and top executives.

The recurring nightmare

O

ur nation is severely polarized.

That’s certainly nothing new. I think we all hoped that after the election Washington would begin taking serious steps toward solving the problems facing the nation or at the very least one side or the other would have enough momentum to assume a leadership role. Unfortunately our national tug of war persists and gridlock continues to be the strategy of choice used by both parties.

Even more than the nation choosing to reelect President Obama, it seems by the choices America made, we collectively see value in maintaining this gridlock method of governing. How else can one explain the total election outcomes where neither side has gained any advantage?

Based on the current discussions, if that’s what we can call them, the parties continue to stake out their positions, and instead of working toward the middle they appear to be going farther away in the opposite direction.

Yes, Republicans have signaled a lukewarm willingness to accept tax increases.

As I understand it the total of those increases will pay for eight days of federal government spending. The president has countered with the proposal of even higher tax increases than he ran on and new spending that will offset any of the reductions he is proposing. He has also suggested that in place of coming back to Congress for approval to raise the national debt each time the ceiling is reached he should just be given the authority to raise the ceiling as needed.

The game of chicken continues. The so called fiscal cliff rapidly approaches and we’ve had this nightmare before. Just before the clock ticks midnight a short term bandage deal will be approved, the big problems passed along to the next Congress, that by the way, looks and will likely act much the same as this Congress and nothing, but nothing is really solved. All they will accomplish is a brief extension and then more of the same in a few months when the ceiling is once again reached.

We must cut our spending sooner… like right now….. not later. As painful as that sounds we’ll never dig out of this hole,

and our children and grandchildren will be severely hindered for generations if we do not right the error Dan Alexander Thoughts from of our ways.

Behind the Pressline Forty two cents of every dollar now goes for the interest on our debt. Failure to reverse this level will, sooner than we think, place our nation in a dire situation.

Shaking our heads in disgust as we watch press conference after press conference of the two sides throwing volleys back and forth, pointing fingers and making accusations isn’t going to solve this problem. They need to get it FIXED and FIXED NOW!!! We passed up the opportunity when the bi-partisan Bowles-Simpson Commission provided the financial plan to correct this issue in 2010. In 2011 both sides, in order to provide cover for their candidates in an election year, agreed to the sequestration which would force tax increases, reductions in jobless benefits and massive cuts upon the nation neither of which would be palatable to either side.

At least that was their contention at the time the deal was made.

We were told by our elected officials, going over the cliff would be so devastating it would force them to address these issues, while buying them all cover for the election cycle. Now with the cliff in sight the chorus appears to be growing for, well the cliff doesn’t really look so bad.

As sad as it sounds, as polarized as we are as a nation, doesn’t it sound totally absurd that the only way we can manage our affairs is for each side to put a gun to their opposition’s head and jointly jump off a cliff? Maybe I’m just getting too old, but I was taught to be responsible for my actions, to make good on my promises and to exceed expectations. It seems we can’t lower the bar enough for our government and sadly enough the nightmare dream we pass along to the future generations will become their real life reality.

Every little bit helps. We encourage you to spend $10 on the 10th, $15 on the 15th, and $20 on the 20th of each month.

1. Promotes foot traffic: especially important during the holiday season.

2. Creates a bigger impact: one study shows that communities keep $68 for every $100 spent locally, while they keep $43 when $100 is spent at a chain store.

3. Shopping locally creates and preserves jobs: local businesses hire local people.

4. Provides the best value: when you look at what you get for your dollar, plus durability, it pays to shop locally.

5. Creates less pollution: local businesses generally use less land and resources and less travel in the area reduces air pollution.

6. Enables less taxes: strong local businesses increase the local tax base, thereby decreasing the need to further tax residents while increasing the revenue for local police,

fire and infrastructure.

7. Builds a sense of community: in an everincreasingly fast-paced world, the desire to shop in places where everyone knows your name is stronger than ever.

8. Establishes one-of-a-kind character: every city wants to stand out with their own personality. Local business helps communities shape their perception to the outside world.

9. Stimulates area vitality: nothing succeeds like success.

10. Local business owners shop locally themselves: businesses need everything from supplies to workday lunches, and local attorneys, accountants, restaurants, office supplies and more supply their need. They also tend to carry locally-produced goods, which further spurs small manufacturing and local artisan work that national chains will not take on.

Though both Morris and Mecoy have many generations that separate themselves from their empassioned ancestors, the pair say their lineage was something they did not embrace right away.

Morris, who is not only the related to Frederick Douglass, is also the greatgreat-grandson of Booker T. Washington. Morris said the weight of the family heritage had taken a dark turn for his grandfather.

“She certainly was an inspiration to me,” Politi said. “She was a good friend of mine. We both had cancer together and went through the chemotherapy together. I called her as much as I could, and she was always more concerned with how I was doing then with how she was doing. We are all greatly saddened by her passing.”

Politi also praised her prowess as a member of the board of supervisors.

our board,” Politi said. “She was a tough negotiator, but she was also very compassionate. She was very committed to her community and was a role model for women in the North Country.”

According to the Fortune-Keough Funeral Home in Saranac Lake, calling hours were planned for Wednesday, Dec. 5, with funeral services planned for Thursday, Dec. 6.

family of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass, his grandfather Frederick Douglass III took his own life.

Morris said because of what happened to his grandfather, there was less pressure put upon him to follow in the footsteps of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass.

“I ran away from this my whole life and now look where I am,” Morris said.

“I think because I found this mission on my own as opposed to having it forced upon me, I find it much more meaningful than had it been forced.”

After working for 22 years in the business world and raising his two daughters with his wife, Diana Kavalis, he read an article about human trafficking that hit him close to home.

“People will look at us and say you have an obligation to pass it on because you have famous ancestors and my answer is always you have just as much of an obligation to pass on your family legacy,” Morris said. “I guarantee each and everyone of us if we research and go through our family tree we will find people that made a difference.”

The Brown heritage had been something Mecoy and her family didn’t em-

brace, either.

“We didn’t discuss it, I didn’t know I was related (to John Brown) until I was 16 and a historian told me,” Mecoy said.

“The only thing I knew about John Brown when I was 16 was he was the crazy guy that started the Civil War because that’s what my history books said. It was never something people in my family proudly raved about.”

Mecoy and Morris said though they didn’t think this is where they would go with their lives, they feel it’s the Brown and Douglass genes that have helped create momentum for their continuation of their ancestors work.

Morris said, “this is wonderful and I can’t imagine our ancestors would have imagined when they last saw each other that their descendents, all these years later would meet, together, right down the road from John Brown’s Farm and I think it’s pretty......”

“Kind of poignant,” Mecoy said.

“I’m sure when Frederick Douglass died he thought slavery was over and here we are still doing the work today,” Morris said.

“Theres still a lot more work to do and we’re working on it,” Mecoy said.
