BVCS resets building use

HEADING BACK TO THE ISLAND Willsboro’s Sophie Clarke to return to CBS show ‘Survivor’

K-5 at Westport for grade school; middle/high school in E’town By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Boquet Valley Central School Board voted to combine its elementary school grades at the Westport campus and put all middle/ high programs in Elizabethtown.

I’m scared about the amount of time some of these little kids are going to be on the bus.”

The move will merge elementary grades K to five taught this year in separate buildings at Lake View (Westport) and Mountain View (Elizabethtown). The move will also relocate middle school (sixth through eighth grades) from Lake View to Mountain View starting next fall. See BVCS BUILDING USE » pg. 2

The decision shifts facility use implemented with the merger last year.

This would allow elementary age focus from building principals and counselors. It would combine grades K through five teaching staff and provide greater focus on interventions at early grade levels.”

But, according to school administrators, the update would add five or more teachers to the middle/high school campus in Elizabethtown, allowing the district to expand elective options, such as advanced placement courses, math and science programs starting in grade six through grade 12. It will create accelerated program options for middle school kids ready for higher level learning. And it will equalize class sizes in elementary grades. District Superintendent Josh Meyer said rationale for the move was developed with input from school principals, counselors and staff. With an elementary school, he said, “the

entire campus would be focused on elementary education in an elementary-appropriate schedule. Right now, our elementary students are operating in middle and high school time blocks. “This would allow elementary age focus from building principals and counselors. It would combine grades K through five teaching staff and provide greater focus on interventions at early grade levels.” In addition, it would put students in the Boquet Valley district together from the start. “Academically speaking, we believe this is the best move for the students,” Meyer said. With a new School Board formed last year, Boquet Valley had three months to put building use plans in motion, blend staff and curriculum, and develop one budget from two districts. The board said they would revisit building use and elementary school placement this year.

CONCERNS RAISED

During a public comment period before the board vote, one parent and some school staff expressed concerns about combining elementary level classes. Parent Matthew Drew opposed it, citing merger study recommendations that kept elementary children in their same classrooms as Boquet Valley formed. The move was designed to ensure some continuity, he said. “I implore the board to vote ‘no’ on the superintendent’s recommendation for building use.” Boquet Valley sixth grade teacher Zoe

Boquet Valley District Superintendent Josh Meyer recommended a change in building use to place all elementary school classes at Lake View Campus in Westport and establish a Boquet Middle/High School at Mountain View in Elizabethtown. The School Board unanimously approved the change, which will be implemented next Fall for the 2020-21 school year. Photo by Kim Dedam

Brugger-Lobdell said grade 6 students are best placed in an elementary school setting, allowing them a extra year to be the big kids. “They still need time to be children,” she said, suggesting research that shows sixth grade interaction with older students can be academically and socially stressful. Boquet Valley Head Bus Driver Deb Spaulding said bus rides for some elementary-age students could be long. “I’m scared about the amount of time some of these little kids are going to be on the bus,” Spaulding said, adding that she had not been asked to weigh-in on building use changes with regard to transportation. Some at the meeting asked where pre-K

classes would go. And Meyer said they are working to finalize pre-K placement in collaboration with Adirondack Community Action Programs. Currently, pre-K is housed in a dedicated wing at Mountain View in Elizabethtown. Buses are run independently by ACAP. The School Board’s decision to merge the elementary school was unanimous. The switch begins in the fall. The district is working on revised bus schedules to accommodate change in building use. The next School Board meeting will be held at the Lake View Campus in Westport on Thursday, Feb. 13, starting at 6 p.m. ■

Willsboro Town Council proposes nuisance law Public hearing set for Feb. 12 By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

WILLSBORO |The Willsboro Town Council has spent months reviewing public comments, public health and safety law, and preparing legal language for a proposed new nuisance law. Legal research evolved from town discussion and a public hearing last fall related to feral cat and other nuisance animal concerns that have posed potential public health problems in town. Progress on the law is documented in Town Council meeting minutes over the past few months. It defines “nuisance”, and places responsibility for violation on residents, landowners and home owners, not animals. The 10-page document defines what terms would mean in the law. And identifies how accepted agricultural practices, agricultural products and related aspects of farming have some exclusion. Nuisances affecting public health specifically identified

and prohibited would : “carcasses of animals or birds not removed within 24 hours of death...accumulations of feces or manure, other than for accepted agricultural use...or accumulation of sewage, rubbish, garbage, trash, rubble, debris, paper, combustible materials, lumber, bedding, offal, or other items such as tires, oil, lubricant...or anything that is foul, offensive, noisome, nauseous, or extremely unpleasant to the physical senses of an ordinary reasonable person; or (c) could chemically or biologically contaminate groundwater or surface runoff water.” Section 2 of the proposed law outlines “Conditions and actions which ... constitute a hazard to the health, welfare, peace, comfort, safety, and/or property of the citizens and property owners of the town of Willsboro, and constitute a ‘public nuisance’ as defined as any conduct or omissions by person or persons which endangers or injures the property, health, comfort, or general welfare of the public is considered a public nuisance. Among items identified are “nuisances that involve animals.” Seven categories include: “animals urinating or defecating repeatedly on plants, landscape or structure.” and animals that present “sustained significant noise (barking, crowing, caterwauling, etc) that disturbs the peace of any surrounding premises, generally of such volume to be heard in the interior of a closed house.” Nuisance animals might also be those found “congregating or residing on property or in structures not owned by person or persons who own, occasionally maintain, or care for said animals.” Another section of the proposed law identifies noise that might

affect public peace and safety, including “noise that disturbs the public peace” from a residence or public building after 9 p.m. Noise violations identified include: “discharge of incendiary devices, such as illegal fireworks or firecrackers” and any violations of “town and state building, fire, environmental conservation and property maintenance codes.” The language states that Willsboro is a “Right to Farm” town and outlines “reasonable and necessary” farm operations that would not be considered a public nuisance, particularly as conducted under sound agricultural practice. The new law would allow civil or criminal proceedings to address violation. In a civil proceeding, the person found liable would face “payment of a civil penalty not to exceed $500 for the first offense.” A penalty of “not less than $1,000” would be levied for a second offense within five years. And a penalty) not less than $500 and not more than $2,000” would be levied for a third offense within five years. Criminal proceedings for violation of the proposed Nuisance Law include both fine and possible imprisonment. The entire law can be found, downloaded and/or read online at the town of Willsboro website on the supervisor’s page: townofwillsboro.com/supervisors-page.html A public hearing on the proposed Willsboro Nuisance Law is scheduled for Feb. 12 at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall. If the town approves the law, it would become effective immediately after filed with the New York Secretary of State Office. ■

Gulf Brook project proceeds Flood control the result of severe storms By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

KEENE | The town of Keene has begun work on the second phase of the Gulf Brook flood mitigation project, which involves hardening streambanks in the lower hamlet down to the East Branch of the Ausable River and taking pressure of a choke point at the Bucks Lane Bridge. The project is an outcome of Hurricane Irene and subsequent storms over the past decade that flooded the lower part of the hamlet and washed out the town fire department. Other homes and businesses have received significant damage as well. Following these disasters, the state provided a Storm Recovery Fund that’s paying for the work. The town also hopes to begin work this year on Phase III, which will stabilize the streambank above the hamlet, particularly where Jackson Hill road is hanging on by a thread at the top of a precipitous gorge. Jersey walls have been installed to protect traffic, and town

officials fear another big storm could wash out the road altogether. Phase I of the project, which has been completed, widened the channel and hardened the streambank above Bucks Lane bridge. Town Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson said the cost of the two projects is $2.4 million, and they are critical to the hamlet’s future. Never much of an issue in the past, Gulf Brook has felt the effects of climate change, which has increased the severity of storms that are dumping more water in shorter amounts of time. “These surge storms have become so powerful, and people in the hamlet are anxious,” Wilson said. Lest anyone grow complacent after Irene in 2011, the supervisor said that the 2019 Halloween storm “was a reminder” that the risk is still at hand. Phase II of the project, which began with tree cutting last month, will expand the channel so there is more room for flood water within the stream’s banks. The Buck’s Lane bridge will be lengthened so that it ceases to act as a dam for surging water. The Rt. 9N bridge over the brook, which the state is not replacing, will continue to be a problem that may need future resolution. “When it was designed, we didn’t have storms like Irene or the Halloween storm,” Wilson said. ■ Jackson Hill Road in Keene is in danger of being washed out by increasingly severe storms.

WILMINGTON SETS GOALS FOR 2020 Rec fields, beach, water lines targeted for improvement By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

WILMINGTON|The Wilmington Town Council held its organizational meeting in mid-January and, with Supervisor Roy Holzer, outlined key goals for 2020. To start, the town established several new committees and is gathering volunteers to serve. The Wilmington 2020 Task Force is looking at community initiatives, examining where the town is today in an effort to set direction for the future, Holzer said in presenting goals for the year. Wilmington also set up a Homestead Housing Commission to review housing in the community and see “how we can make home ownership more obtainable for people that want to make Wilmington their home,” Holzer said. A third new project will emerge through the Wilmington Bicentennial Anniversary Committee. “In 2022 our town will be 200 years old,” Holzer said. “Let’s celebrate and commemorate it in style.” Holzer said his intention is to involve as many Wilmington residents as possible in determining direction for the future. “Setting goals and objectives for 2020 is an awesome way for us to keep Wilmington moving forward,” he told the Sun. The town is also going to consider naming the activities field after late Supervisor Randy Preston. “As many are aware,” Holzer said, “he was responsible for getting the grant funds to purchase this area and a tasteful memorial of a

town leader that passed away while in office is the right thing to do.” There is still work to be done on the T-ball/ activity field, including upgrades to the electrical service, new water lines and restrooms, and completion of the field pavilion. “We currently have around $100,000 earmarked for these upgrades,” Holzer said. Repairs to the Youth Center building that accompanies the Wilmington Skate Park and bike jumps is also in discussion this year, along with a access points at Lake Everest, the town beach. “I have been approached about doing a canoe launch that would make it easier for a person to get their canoe in the water,” Holzer said. “The cost of these units are pretty affordable, and I will be making a formal presentation to the board in the future.” As to infrastructure, Wilmington will assess options for water line replacement on Everest and Cunningham Lanes. Looking at shared services, Holzer said he plans to work with Essex County engineers to facilitate the project. The town is also considering their options for dredging in small sections along the Ausable River, removing silt piled up near the town dam. Pay rates for Wilmington elected officials and employees were determined at the organizational meeting. The annual salary for the supervisor was set at $25,204. Town justices will be paid $8,833 per year and town councilors $4,871. The town clerk/tax collector salary was set at $24,155. Hourly wages in Wilmington range from $14 per hour for the Youth Center attendant to $16.64 for part-time parks labor; from $20.80 per hour for the clerk to the supervisor to $21.42 per hour for Parks and Grounds maintenance and water district operator. Town Council meetings in Wilmington are held at 7 p.m. in the Community Center on the second Tuesday of each month. ■

Wood Warmth By Rich Redman COLUMNIST

After a day of felling trees, cutting up logs, splitting and stacking firewood, you have earned quality snooze time. Crawling into a warm bed in a cold room allows sleep to take you away, but before you know it, five thirty comes and it’s another day. As I make my way downstairs, I try to be quiet while others sleep. I pour a cup of yesterday’s coffee in a cup and fire up the microwave. While the invisible energy heats my coffee, I make a fresh pot we enjoy later. Down into the cellar I go, with book and coffee cup in hand. The woodstove needs food. It’s been burning calories all night long. The house has cooled down by the winter’s winds outside, so I do my morning chores. I shovel out the old packed ash and pull the coals to the front of the stove, evening out the pile. Most mornings there are enough remnant coals that no kindling is needed. You just add more wood. The morning fire is made with smaller diameter wood, so the

In this way, we can earn a slight discount on our weekly mailing cost. But, and there is a big but, we want to make certain your address is on the new list. If you don’t want to be inconvenienced by taking the chance that you could fall off our mailing list, please sign up online or send in the form you’ll find in this week’s papers under the heading, important notice. Shortly, when you visit our website, you’ll find reminders showing up with each story and an easy way to contribute online. And speaking of online, you will also be seeing a revamped Sun and Vermont Eagle website popping up soon as we add a host of new features designed to keep you up to date on community news, sports, events and breaking news. Once that project is completed and running smoothly, we’ll be launching a Sun mobile App for both Apple and Android. The new technology driving the web site will provide automation for our Content Management System that will simultaneously assist the reporting and design staff in sending stories and pictures to both the website as well as the print edition without an extra manual step. Currently, we “build” the paper then go through a completely separate step to post stories to the website. All these steps are part of planning for the future, making certain we are well equipped to meet the demands of the region while at the same time doing so in an efficient manner. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the paper or these ongoing enhancements. ■

stove gets roaring. You need quick, hot heat to clean out the chimney. As the fire starts to build, the stove starts its song. It creaks and crackles away as the steel heats and expands. You can change the pitch of the song by opening and closing the stove door. Air controls the fire and the song. I like to keep the door vents half open, so the draft is really sucking air into the stove. It gets the wood roaring. The vents draw air in and as the wood devours oxygen, the demand causes the fire to puff like an old steam engine. The puffing sound is the stove inhaling and exhaling. I open the stove door and the rush of air in allows the wood to take off. The roar in the stove and chimney pipe tell me things are getting clean in the chimney exhaust tail pipe. Keep the pipes clean. If in doubt get a certified chimney sweep to check things out. You gotta keep the pipes clean to prevent a chimney fire. While all this pyrolysis and air exchange is happening, I sit by the stove and bake my right side until its done. The hot air from the stove feels so damn good. Wood warmth is the best. I gaze at the wood stacked in the cellar; two face cords worth, plus there are fifteen others out in the woodshed. It’s a good feeling knowing the trees came from our woodlot.

The trees were felled, the logs winched out with my tractor to the header, cut into bite size pieces, then split and triangulated with a six-pound maul. Then, stacked in my tractor bucket, taken to the woodshed and stacked again, last winter, so I can restack it back into my tractor bucket and take it to the house this winter. I slide the wooden triangles down a chute into the cellar and once again restack it against the cellar wall. Four or five times daily, I then stack it in the wood stove, where it finally becomes my energy to heat the house. This happens every day, all winter long. It’s a fool’s trial by repetition for sure. I drink my coffee and feel the heat while I read a chapter out of my book. Yeah, I could just let the stove do its thing while I go back upstairs but sitting by the stove and reading is now a morning ritual. I earned the right to sit by that stove and bake. It’s not the first heat that wood has given me. Some people can’t wait for summer to sit around their campfire. I have my boxed in one every winter’s morning. The day will come when I won’t do this anymore. I’ll just flip a switch for instant heat. It will never be the same, though. Sitting next to a hot air furnace and listening to the fan churn away while trying to read? No thanks! ■

Stewart’s Shops buys Polsinello Acquires gas stations, delivery system By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

ELIZABETHTOWN |Stewart’s Shops officials announced the purchase of family-owned gasoline and diesel distribution company, Polsinello Fuels, along with five gas stations. The transaction will allow Stewart’s to distribute Sunoco, Citgo and Mobil gasoline to dealers between the Capital Region and Massena, according to a Stewart’s company news announcement. Based in Saratoga, the locally owned dairy production, grocer and gas station company did not disclose the amount of the private transaction. “As we continue to grow our business, this acquisition gives us the opportunity to diversify by expanding

deeper into the fuel wholesale business,” Stewart’s Shops President Gary Dake said in the release. The Sun asked Stewart’s if expanded distribution would affect gas pricing in the region or serve to equalize priceper-gallon costs found at the many Stewart’s Shops gas stations between Plattsburgh, Elizabethtown, Lake Placid and Lake George. “At Stewart’s Shops, our priority is to keep our pricing fair and competitive for our customers,” spokeswoman Erica Komoroske told the Sun. “Gas prices are dependent on many factors including market trends and distribution costs. The newly acquired fuel distribution business is separate from our gas distribution to our shops and will allow Stewart’s to supply Sunoco, Citgo and Mobil gasoline to other locations outside of Stewart’s.” Based in Rensselaer, family-owned Polsinello Fuels was founded in 1952 as an oil burner service. The company

also installs heating and cooling equipment alongside its home fuel delivery system. Commercial fuel distribution was only one division of Polsinello Fuels multi-faceted operation, supplying fuel to convenience stores, trucking fleets, farms and power generation plants, according to the company’s website. “After careful consideration Polsinello Fuels Inc. has decided to divest from the retail gasoline business,” Vice President Lou Polsinello said. “Polsinello Fuels will remain in the lubricants and motor oil distribution business. This transition strengthens our standing as an industry leader and enhances our continued growth strategy to distribute premium lubricants and motor oils from Gulf Oil, Shell, Pennzoil, Quaker State, Phillips 66 and Kendall brands throughout the Northeast market. “Finding the right partner to entrust our legacy and customers was our highest

priority. We believe Stewart’s and Polsinello are both made stronger by this transaction and we are excited for what the future holds for both of our growing organizations.” In their statement, Stewart’s Shops said Polsinello customers can expect competitive fuel pricing and the service that Stewart’s customers have come to expect. “Polsinello dealers will receive long term stability and a positive level of support and amenities from Stewart’s Shops. There are plans to remodel several of the gas stations to allow for an even greater offering to customers.” Polsinello corporate profile at Bloomberg lists the number of employees at 100. Stewart’s Shops employ over 4,500 people and owns 336 grocery/gas stations throughout New York into western Vermont. The company produces its own milk and dairy products from fresh milk purchased from local dairy farms near their central plant in Greenfield. ■

Stefanik Statement on President Trump Signing USMCA Into Law

COLUMNIST

WASHINGTON, D.C. | Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik attended the signing of the USMCA trade agreement into law by President Trump and released the following statement:

NEAL is just something else, this

big, handsome, goofy dog has a huge heart and a joyful personality. Neal came to the shelter as a stray. We think the black and white Great Dane is less than two years old. This big boy doesn’t know that he’s not quite a puppy anymore, he wiggles and bounds in happiness whenever he’s around people. Neal absolutely adores people, though a little too physically at times if you know what I mean. But Neal is an intelligent dog, he just needs a lot of work to learn his manners. He is completely untrained, but as he aims to please and is extremely motivated by treats, we’re sure Neal’s bad habits will begin to improve. He is an energetic dog who loves to be active outdoors and will need plenty of physical activity to help calm and focus him on his training.

·' As Neal is new to the shelter, we’re quite not sure how he feels about interacting with other pets yet. So far he seems completely unphased by the other barking dogs. Given his energetic nature and that he doesn’t seem to grasp just how big he really is, Neal won’t be a good fit around small children. Neal has so much potential just waiting for someone willing to do the work to help this big pup become a truly great dog. Please come down and meet Neal today, we know he’ll make you smile. ■

Congresswoman Stefanik has been in the forefront of passage of the USMCA that is essential to balance and strengthen the capability of North America’s competitiveness and enhancing U.S.-Canada economic vitality,” said Jim Phillips, President and CEO of the Canadian/American Border Trade Alliance. ■

Stefanik Testifies at Ways & Means Committee Hearing on Bipartisan Paid Leave Proposal

WASHINGTON, D.C. | Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik testified before the House Ways & Means Committee in support of H.R. 5296, the Advancing Support for Working Families Act, legislation she is leading with Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX). This legislation will help working families cover the cost of parental leave, infant care, and other expenses that occur with birth or adoption of a new child by advancing up to $5,000 of their Child Tax Credit. It is the only bipartisan and bicameral plan to help new parents access upfront financial assistance – and does it

Participants save 10% on their liability, personal injury protection, and collision insurance for three years and may reduce up to four points on their driving record.

“Nearly half of our state’s agricultural exports go to our North American neighbors, and thanks to the President’s signature on USMCA, goods will continue to cross borders to benefit our state’s farms and rural economy,” said David Fisher, New York Farm Bureau President. “The agreement provides certainty to farmers as well as opens the door to additional market opportunities, most notably for our dairy farms. New York Farm Bureau thanks Rep. Stefanik for her continued support to get this critical trade agreement across the finish line.”

“No dynamic is more important to the North Country economy than our cross border economic partnership with Canada,” said Garry Douglas, President of the North Country Chamber of Commerce. “With the enactment of the enabling legislation for USMCA, we can expect the continued benefits that will flow from a renewed and predictable economic relationship. The North Country, more than any other area of the U.S., has made itself a uniquely supportive environment for Canadian based manufacturing in the U.S. market and for cross border

supply chains. Our large and growing transportation equipment and aerospace cluster is a prime example of this dynamic, now hosting more than fifty companies employing more than 9,000 people. We thank all who helped to get us to this point, including Congresswoman Elise Stefanik who has been a leading champion from the very start of the process and who has become one of the country’s most respected voices in all matters related to U.S.-Canadian relations. Onward and upward!”

“This is a significant victory for the North Country. I am thrilled that the USMCA has been signed into law by President Trump,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “This agreement will expand our markets for Americanmade goods with two vital trading partners, boosting our North Country economy. It also provides stability for our agriculture industry by increasing access to those markets. I am proud to have been an outspoken supporter of this important agreement from the beginning, and I will continue to work on behalf of North Country farmers, small businesses, manufacturers, and hardworking families to deliver crucial results like these.”

without raising taxes or creating new federal mandates. “I proudly testified on behalf of my bipartisan paid leave legislation today,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “Developing solutions to help new parents and working families thrive in this modern workforce is necessary for the continued economic success of our nation and the well-being of the next generation of Americans. I will always advocate on behalf of hardworking North Country families to bring them tangible benefits and enhanced paid leave options as I continue to lead this effort through the House.” ■

WASHINGTON, D.C. | Congresswoman Stefanik has announced a USDA Primary Agricultural Disaster designation for all twelve counties in New York’s 21st Congressional District. This designation comes after excessive rain and weather events caused massive losses during the 2019 crop year. This designation makes farm operators eligible to be considered for certain assistance from the Farm Service Agency (FSA), including emergency loans. Farmers in these counties have 8 months from the

date of this declaration to apply for emergency loans, and they are encouraged to act as soon as possible. “The weather events this past spring, including excessive flooding in many areas, took a toll on farmers across upstate New York” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “I am glad USDA has made this designation and will be offering aid to producers, who are vital to the North Country. I encourage any farmers who have questions about this application process to reach out to my offices directly.” ■

Following Stefanik Call with Chairman Pai, FCC Opens the Door to Unserved Parts of NY-21 in New Rural Digital Opportunity Fund WASHINGTON, D.C. | Earlier this month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a draft proposal for their new Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, which rendered all of New York ineligible for the $16 billion allocated in Phase I of the plan to expand high-speed broadband access. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik called the Chairman of the FCC directly and sent a bipartisan letter with the New York delegation asking them to reverse this decision, and to reiterate the need for unserved areas in the North Country to be included in the funding. Today, FCC Chairman Pai sent a letter to Congresswoman Stefanik stating that the proposal will be revised and areas of New York will be considered for Phase I eligibility under the general criteria.

“Expanding access to high-speed broadband is critical to the economic wellbeing of our region,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “The FCC reversing their decision to categorically exclude New York is an important step in the right direction, as this will open the door to much needed investment in the areas of North Country that still lack broadband connectivity. However, the FCC’s treatment of areas without high-speed access despite some state investment will be central to the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund fulfilling its goal of truly closing the digital divide. I will to continue to work closely with the FCC throughout the development of this important initiative to expand rural broadband access in the North Country.” ■

PREPARATION

Clarke said there were differences in the way she prepared for the new season and 2011. “The first time I won Survivor I did a bunch of random things I thought would help me get prepared, like I bought fish from the Price Chopper and tried to learn how to scale it,” she said. “This time I felt like I was a little more prepared, so I really tried to watch some of the old seasons of the show to see who I would be up against and made a dossier on each of the contestants with what were their strengths and weaknesses.” Clarke added she also trained physically and mentally for the show. “I did some workouts I thought would be helpful for the challenges,” she said. “I did a lot of Yoga and a lot of strength and balance exercises. I did a lot of puzzles and figured

out as many different kinds as I could.” By preparing in this way, Clarke said she felt she gave herself the best chance to compete at the game in her way. “There are so many different ways to win Survivor, and my way, which is more brainy and maybe strategic won one year, so maybe I could win again. We all have a shot using our own strategy,” she said.

THE LIFE OF A SURVIVOR CHAMPION

When Clarke claimed the Survivor title, she had just graduated from Middlebury College and was on her way to medical school in New York City. “I decided I really didn’t want to practice so I went into health care consulting ever since,” said Clarke, adding she also celebrated a milestone event this past year. “After the show taped this summer, I got

married in Willsboro at my parents house and we just moved out to California for my husband’s job.” Clarke said the experience shaped her life in many ways. “I went on when I was really young at 21 and it was a really formative experience and it was such an incredible and intense challenge,” said Clarke of her 2011 experience. “The money has helped to put myself through med school and come out without any loans on the back end, but also it has helped to shape some of my really difficult decisions, it gave me the confidence to make life decisions to go off and do something new.” Clarke added it helps her out when she needs motivation, as well. “It also helps me when I am at the gym and I don’t feel like I can run that last mile I will yell at myself in the back of my head and say, Sophie, you won Survivor, you can run this one mile.” ■

Sound advice for students Brilliant Pathways program matches kids with mentors By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

ESSEX | More than 100 professionals from multiple fields fanned out across the North County, visiting schools and explaining to students what it takes to make it in their respective careers. Sponsored by CFES Brilliant Pathways in Essex, “Mentor Madness Day” was the region’s largest single-day mentoring event, reaching more than 3,000 students in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. It was, the organization said, “an opportunity to learn about potential professions and the steps it takes to get there. Mentors also focused on the importance of practicing essential skills taught by CFES such as perseverance and agility to be successful in life.” “In class, we learn about CFES Essential Skills like teamwork and leadership, so today was great because we got to hear people talk about those things in real life,” said Beekmantown 5th-grader Lizzy Burnham. Volunteers mentored at Crown Point, Boquet Valley, Keene, Ticonderoga, Peru, Plattsburgh, Lake Placid, Beekmantown, Moriah, Willsboro and Ausable Valley. The day long event was part of a $12 million U.S. Department of Education GEAR UP

grant secured by CFES Brilliant Pathways – a global nonprofit that has helped more than 100,000 students become college and career ready since 1991. “CFES and this event help students to be deliberate in what they put their energy into and are guiding them to align their strengths with their passions,” said Larry Allan, Dean of Judicial Review at SUNY-Plattsburgh, who mentored at Beekmantown. “At its core, CFES assists students in the development of the essential skills they need to navigate school, interpersonal relationships, and ultimately life.” Students were told of the wide variety of careers available, and they were also told that success takes work. Crown Point CFES fellow Shawna McIntosh said 6th and 8th grade classes enjoyed and appreciated Mentor Madness. “They were astonished by how difficult college really can be,” she said. “It showed them that college is harder than people think it is, and that there are many more expectations in college than there are in high school.” Both of these grades also learned about managing their time and schedules, McIntosh said. A goal of Mentor Madness is to bring in mentors from different professions so that students are exposed to many careers. Mentors ranged in age and experience from Middlebury College students to professionals from the UVM Health Network, University of Vermont, Essex County Sheriff’s Department, Plattsburgh YMCA, Norsk Titanium, UFirst Federal Credit Union, and others. “This was a wonderful opportunity to share our experiences with such a welcoming school district,” said Joe Zeitler, Assistant Director of Admissions at Castleton

More than 100 mentors visited schools throughout the North Country last week, describing their careers and advising students to plan for opportunities that lie ahead. The program was sponsored by CEF Brilliant Pathways of Essex. Photo provided

University, who mentored at Ticonderoga. “CFES Mentor Madness Day is the best way for students to interact and ask questions about college and career readiness to professionals. It was a true success.” Mentors focused on CFES Brilliant Pathways’ core value that education is the ticket to a successful future, whether it be a four-year degree or a certificate of value in the trades. Former attorney Jack Helfgott, owner of Yipes Yipes! Auto Accessories & Graphics, told students that he was able to change professions multiple times because he had a college degree, and that they would be creating opportunities for themselves by doing the same. Students learned that even fun and games are not always fun and games.“There were a lot of students interested in sports, however they didn’t realize how much travel and time management it involved,” McIntosh said. “Some even said that they plan on working harder in their sport of choice and in the classroom so that they can make it on a college team. Overall they enjoyed it and are already asking when we can do it again.” By the end of the day, mentors said they got as much out of the experience as the students. “Being a mentor at a CFES program was not only beneficial for the students, but especially so for me,” said Helfgott. “The interaction with the students reminded me of all the potential that will be leading us in the future and reinvigorated myself to look at all opportunities.” ■

The Valley News Sun | February 8, 2020 • 9

Winter sport athletes from around the world train in these Adirondack mountains year-round. But starting Feb. 13, events spanning the same 10 dates will celebrate a 40th anniversary of the 1980 Winter Olympics. Lake Placid Business Association President Lori Fitzgerald served as chairperson of the Olympic 40th Anniversary Committee. Local businesses, winter sports clubs, civic groups and Olympic venue personnel worked for months, she said, to bring this celebration to re-light, literally, the Olympic flame. “Lake Placid holds its place in Olympic history with great pride,” Fitzgerald told the Sun. “Everyone who lives here knows someone connected to the Winter games -- athletes, volunteers, spectators. “It is in honor of our legacy that an organization of community groups – the Lake Placid Business Association, ORDA, ROOST, NYSEF, and other engaged partners -- joined together to create a 10-day party to celebrate this milestone.” Retrospect will highlight events that solidified Lake Placid’s place in Olympic history, Fitzgerald said. And some of the world’s greatest athletes will look to the future of their sports. “We will also look to our present and the many athletes from our region who have competed at the Olympic level or who currently are competing in locations around the world, not to mention those from other parts of the country and the world who compete and train here. “Equally as important, we will look to celebrate with those who aspire to be Olympians and carry this legacy forward for decades to come.” The entire village including every Olympic venue will be on full display, ORDA spokesman

Monday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. Lake Placid’s Olympic Legacy: An Athlete’s Perspective Hosted by the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, this event is free to the public, and features conversations with Olympians on Lake Placid’s Olympic legacy. Join athletes: Buzz Schneider (member of the Miracle on Ice team); Gordy Sheer, 1992 Olympic silver medalist; Erin Hamlin, first American female luge athlete to medal at the Winter Olympics; Tim Burke, four-time Olympic Biathlete; Van Ledger, Jr. Olympian in 2020 in Biathlon and Lake Placid native; Maddy Cohen, Jr. Olympian in 2020 in Mono-Bobsled, a new sliding sport. Maddy is currently the only female member of the U.S. team and resides in Lake Placid. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 3 p.m. Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer™ Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton will lead community members in a Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer™ event, held on the Olympic speed skating oval. This “Frozen 5K” skate-a-thon is the signature fundraiser of the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation. A portion of the proceeds raised goes to Adirondack Health. The Foundation’s event website is mysk8.org/LakePlacidNY2020. Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. Dream On, The 1980 Lake Placid Olympic Figure Skating Reunion Gala: Join Scott Hamilton and several members of 1980 U.S. figure skating team as they celebrate 40 years since they skated in the Lake Placid Winter Games. Dinner on the 1980 Herb Brooks Arena ice is followed by skating performances by current U.S. pair champions Ashley CainGribble and Timothy Leduc, U.S. men’s champion Ryan Bradley and U.S. ice dance champions of Madison Chock and Evan Bates. On-ice gala dinner tickets are available. Call 518-302-5397. General admission tickets for the skating show are available at Tickets.com, by phone at 518523-3330 and at the Olympic Center Box Office. Saturday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m.: Olympian Dan Jansen: Perseverance and Perspective - A memorable story of inspiration and triumph. At the High Peaks Resort, FREE and open to the public. For younger fans, Dan will also be appearing at the Lake Placid Public Library during their crafts event on Saturday morning from 10 a.m. until noon. ■

Jon Lundin said of the all-hands welcome planned for community near and far. A Torch Run and 40th Olympic Anniversary Parade kicks off on Feb. 14, at 5 p.m., making its way from Saranac Avenue via Main Street and Sentinel Road to the Opening Ceremony at 6 p.m. at the Horse Show Grounds. The historic 1980 Olympic torch will be ignited, once again, during the ceremony. Celebrations in the week ahead are intended to be fun and engaging. “There will be opportunities to meet with athletes from the past, the present and the future,” Fitzgerald said. “There will be sales and promotions in our shops all over town, as well as themed specials in local restaurants. There will also be opportunities to mingle with all of us who hold this legacy dear and work to keep it alive and well for another 40 years and beyond.” This legacy has sustained investment in Lake Placid’s Olympic edge, Fitzgerald said. “It is our legacy that allows us to welcome large, international events like the Winter World University Games (2023). These events enhance our community by making an investment in us. And that allows us to invest back into our communities.” Lake Placid is one of only three cities world-wide to have hosted two Olympic Winter Games, 1932 and 1980. Since then, it has played host to annual World Cup events and other large-scale sporting competitions. Lake Placid has sent at least one athlete to every winter Olympic Games, and in total, has sent over 100 athletes to compete, since the first modern games in 1924. This is accomplished through Lake Placid’s commitment and support of its Olympic sports development programs.

“Piano by Nature” presents Winterreise in E’town ELIZABETHTOWN |On Feb. 15 and Feb. 16, Piano by Nature will present a gorgeous chamber music experience for North Country audiences.

Lewis and pianist Jennifer Moore, a well-loved music instructor at Willsboro Central School, will present Franz Schubert’s epic song cycle Winterreise (Winter’s Journey) in the Hand House parlor. “Each candlelit concert will focus on twelve songs out of the twentyfour, digging deeply into the poetry and music and their interrelationship to language, love, life, and death,” says Piano by Nature’s founder Dr. Rose Chancler of Westport. “Franz Schubert composed his epic song cycle, ‘Winterreise’ with Wilhelm Müller’s narrative poetry, in two parts, each with 12 songs, in 1827. Schubert was still correcting the proofs in preparation for publication days before his death on Nov. 19, 1928.” Winterreise Part I is presented on Saturday, Feb. 15, at 7 p.m. – Winterreise, Part II is presented on Sunday, Feb. 16, at 3 p.m. Piano By Nature will host the performances at the Hand House, located at 8273 River St., in Elizabethtown.

Pelkey enters top three Schroon Lake star scores 38 in matchup of MVAC’s top scorers By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SCHROON| The Schroon Lake Wildcats hosted Keene Friday in MVAC play in a game that featured the top two scorers in the MVAC. Someday, the names of Andrew Pelkey and Aidan Lopez may also both be atop the Section VII scoring list. Pelkey, who scored 38 points in the Wildcats’ 74-55 win over Keene, moved to with 92 points of Beekmantown’s Dan Munson for the all-time boys scoring record of 1,696 points. Pelkey now stands at 1,604 points. Moriah graduate and current Plattsburgh State forward Adam Jaquish is second on the career scoring list at 1,690. Recently, Munson talked about Pelkey and the chance he could break the record.

Beekmantown graduate and current Saranac assistant coach Dan Munson has held the Section VII boys basketball scoring record of 1,696 points since 1999, a mark Schroon star Andrew Pelkey is within 92 points of matching after Friday’s game against Keene.

I z z y Armstrong scored 15 points a nd Deid ra Kellerman added 11 as Lake Placid was able to score a 43-41 win over Seton Catholic Feb. 3. Grace Crawford and Arnita Cecunjanin each scored six points for the Bombers, with Natalie Tavares scoring three.

RED STORM unable to stop COUGARS

Northeastern Clinton used a 22-0 second quarter run to score a 49-39 win over Saranac Lake Jan. 29. Stephan Garrow and Spencer Trudo each scored 12 points in the win, while Nate McCarthy scored 12 points for the Red Storm, followed by Zach Churco with nine, Brady Yando six, Landon Faubert five, James Catania four and Dylan Stewart three.

Schroon Lake’s Andrew Pelkey joined the Section VII boys 1,600 career point club, led by Dan Munson (1,696) and Moriah’s Adam Jaquish, who scored 1,690 point for the Vikings. File photo

“He plays well, he can shoot and has good ball control and moves well on the court,” said Munson about Pelkey’s game. Munson, who watched Pelkey as an assistant coach for Saranac in their matchup against the Wildcats recently, said the record has been something he has come to cherish through the eyes of his family more than when he was setting it. “It has been cool for my son and kids, my nieces and nephews to see it,” Munson said. “I was just glad we were winning back then. It’s nice to see the kids look in the

program and say, that’s my dad.” When the former Beekmantown standout passed Keene’s Andy Dumas (1,576) in 1999, Dumas and his father were on hand to present him with a card and congratulations, something Munson hopes to do if Pelkey scores 93 more points. “I’d love to see it and I would love to be there to congratulate him,” said Munson. “I know what it meant to me at the time so I know what it is going to mean to him. I’ll be proud of him for reaching that number and shake his hand.” Pelkey has 413 points in 2019-20 and four games remaining in the regular season, as they travel to face Boquet Valley Wednesday, Willsboro Friday, and Lake Placid Feb. 10 before a home game with Beekmantown — where Munson set the record as an Eagle — Feb. 21. The Wildcats currently hold the league lead and potential top seed for the Section VII/Class D playoffs.

THE HEIR APPARENT?

While Pelkey has reached the timberline of the Section VII boys scoring mountain, Keene sharp shooter Aidan Lopez scored 25 points in the loss against the Wildcats. The Beaver sophomore has scored 379 points this season, averaging 23.7 per game, just behind Pelkey’s pace of 25-plus per game.

As a freshman, Lopez averaged 15.5 points per game, according to the Keene team stats on their MaxPreps page, scoring 263 points in 2018-19 and giving him at 642 points with four regular season games remaining against Johnsburg-Minerva (Wednesday), at Newcomb (Friday), Boquet Valley (Feb. 10) and at Chazy (Feb. 12) before heading into sectionals. By comparison, Pelkey had 681 points at the end of his sophomore season, scoring 510 as a junior.

GAME SUMMARY

Will Sprague, Zach Rock and Isaiah Call scored wins by forfeit for the Patriots. Conner Bushey of Beekmantown had the fastest fall of the night, needing only 21 seconds to earn the win at 285.

GRIFFINS get past KNIGHTS

The game featured a pair of strong scoring performances, as Abbey Schwoebel scored 28 for the Griffins and Haley Murnane 21 for the Knights. For the victors, Bree Hunsdon added eight points, while Skylar Bisselle scored six, Thea Shaw six, Ella King two and Liz Poe two.
