Local matriarch laid to rest Last of a generation passes at 102

Helmets now required for horseback riders at fair-sponsored events New policy comes as county task force conducting comprehensive review of county-owned facility

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — Horseback riders will now be required to wear helmets at all events sponsored by the Essex County Ag-

ricultural Society, the group tasked with running the county fairgrounds.

The measure unanimously passed the fair board last month.

A lack of protective headgear is the top cause of serious and fatal accidents in horseback riding, said Shaun Gillilland, the head of the county-appointed fairgrounds task force.

Gillilland said it was important for the Essex County Agricultural Society to take leadership on the issue, and to set an example for children under 14, who are already required to >> See HELMETS | pg. 10

WILLSBORO — It had been a quiet day on Lake Champlain, where Thomas Sucharzewski had spent the day fishing with his family.

But then he felt a tug on his line.

An epic battle ensued.

Pete DeMola Sucharzewski battled the Atlantic salmWriter on for 10 minutes before he managed to bring the fish aboard.

“It jumped out of the water four times and it was really tiring to get it in the boat,” Sucharzewski said. “The last time it jumped, it popped into the net.”

Sucharzewski hoped his catch was big enough to net a big prize at the Lake Champlain International, the competition that drew competitors from 30 states.

Tournament officials marveled when he triumphantly brought his capture back to the Indian Bay Marina for a weigh-in: At 29” and 9.6 pounds, the catch netted him third place in

the overall adult category, beating 5,200 other fisherman.

Not bad for a third-grader.

Sucharzewski, 7, comes from a proud fishing family.

Fishing is in the family’s blood, say his parents.

Thomas’ grandfather, an avid sportsman, entered an ice fishing derby in 1986 and landed the grand prize, a tagged trout worth $10,000.

He used the proceeds to start a business.

BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — Lanny Gagnier wanted to do something nice for local veterans — like helping to facilitate a free event, which he says appear increasingly rare nowadays.

Stories about vets getting mistreated were also all too common for Gagnier, the first vice commander of St. Regis Falls American Legion, Post 322.

These were the mechanisms underpinning his decision to call the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake and pitch the idea of a free admission day for vets.

The museum got back to him three days later: How about July 16, they said. Free entry for any veteran living in the 12 counties constituting the Adirondack Park, plus a guest.

Gagnier was overjoyed.

Helping others strikes chord for local church Concert, breakfast planned for new initiative sparked by pastor’s cancer struggle

WESTPORT — Imagine being diagnosed with cancer.

Now consider combatting the disease with a limited support network.

The grim thought struck Tom Smith, the pastor at Westport Federated Church, during the long winter hours he spent receiving treatment for tonsil cancer, a diagnosis handed down in November.

And so Community Cares was born.

“This ministry was born from my cancer treatment this past winter and a desire to increase ministry of the church in local communities,” Tom said.

Tom’s wife, Lisa, said she was overwhelmed by the support the couple received as her husband underwent treatment, from well wishes, phone calls to just a kind word in passing.

Now they want to pay it forward.

“We had no clue what it was like until we went through it,” Lisa said. “Nobody should go through that without somebody there to help them. As a church, we care about them and want to help any way we can.”

The disease upends all facets of life, Lisa said. From emotions, caregivers, finances to homes, no aspect is left untouched.

Joan Crane, a musician and member of the congregation, cited a friend who recently finished cancer treatment in Burlington.

The ferry expenses alone cost over $700 — and that’s not including follow-up appointments.

New prayer requests have become a weekly occurrence at church observations.

“It just drives me nuts,” Crane said. “That’s why I’m so passionate about it.”

Two initial fundraisers have been lined up for Community Cares: A breakfast to raise funds for the Westport Food Pantry on July 9, and a benefit concert to aid cancer victims with non-covered costs of medical treatment on July 24.

Crane worked the phones for weeks to organize the concert, eventually managing to wrangle in some of the region’s top talent.

There’s folks like Taylor Haskins, the jazz trumpeter and concert series organizer, Julie Robards and Daniel Seidman, the New York City-based pianist whom Crane serendipitously found her-

As part of their new Community Cares ministry, the Westport Federated Church will host a benefit concert to aid local residents with costs associated with cancer treatment on July 24 at 6:30 p.m. Suggested donation: $10 adults, or $20 for family.

self seated across at a recent cookout.

These folks join the Two-Tall String Band; Slip Smithson, a mandolin player who owns a recording studio in Keeseville, and Steve Light, who performs with the Bluegrass Gospel Project.

Crane also assembled a bluegrass band thrown together from former members of her old outfit, deeming them the Bluegrass Pickers. They include Steve Feinbloom, Craig Johnson, Ralph Lane and Eric O’Hara, who mentored famed local outfit the Gibson Brothers.

“This was like trying to round up 15 puppies,” Crane said.

But, she said, “their talent is matched by their compassion and willingness to help.”

Helping with cancer costs is only one plank in the Community Cares platform.

While the effort is in its embryonic stages, the church eventually sees the initiative filling more gaps as they arise, from checking in on the elderly, delivering meals to shut-ins and engaging in general community outreach “so people don’t feel so alone,” Lisa said.

As for Tom, he is cancer-free and is on the mend.

“It hasn’t slowed him down,” Lisa said.

Ahead of the concert, Community Cares will be soliciting support from local businesses. Checks can be made out to Westport Federated Church, PO Box 386, Westport, NY, 12993.

Reach out: Local organizations providing assistance to cancer patients include the Fletcher Allen Cancer Center, the North Country Cancer Fund, the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center and county-run medical transportation services.

Audrey Dickerson laid to rest on 103rd birthday Family matriarch remembered for selfless devotion to family

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

Audrey Dickerson, who passed away last month, was laid to rest at the Reber Cemetery on July 1, 2016, what would have been her 103rd birthday.

Photo by Pete DeMola

Over time, said Swires, it became easier for her great-aunt to openly express her emotions and say those three magic words: I love you.

“That was big,” recalled Swires on hearing those words for the first time.

But it became easier in later years, said Pam Arnold, a grandniece.

Dickerson also enjoyed sewing, bowling, casino trips and wintering in Florida with a lifelong friend, Maxine.

Family members often spoke of a mischievous twinkle in her eye. And always modest, Dickerson shied away from attention.

A surprise party for her 100th birthday at the old family farmhouse, for instance, drew disapproval, said Arnold.

Dickerson eventually got over her Prohibition era fear of cars and drove up until she was 100.

“She was sharp as a tack up until she was 101, I would say,” Swires said.

In recent years, Dickerson would often comment on her longevity: “I don’t know why I’m living so long,” Eric recalled her as saying. “More than 100 years is too much.”

Dickerson completed another life circle when she moved to the Champlain Valley Senior Community in Willsboro for her final years, which occupies the former schoolhouse.

While she never liked school, Swires recalled, Dickerson had the highest average for her class one year.

Following a brief illness, she passed away at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital on June 15, going peacefully on her own terms, “with the grace, beauty and dignity of royalty,” Eric said.

The rain pattered on umbrellas on Friday, where Dickerson

REBER — Remember the small moments: Fresh-baked pastries on holiday mornings. Being bounced on one knee during a visit. Hand-sewed Raggedy Ann dolls and dresses… a shared look of knowing, that classic twinkle in the eye.

A soft summer rain fell at the Reber Cemetery as Eric Arnold delivered the eulogy for the Dickerson family matriarch, Audrey “Audey” Dickerson, who passed away on June 15.

Dickerson had come full circle.

Surrounded by five generations of family— altogether, she had 112 nieces and nephews — Dickerson was laid to rest on July 1, her 103rd birthday, and just a click down the country lane from the farmhouse where she was born, the second-eldest of nine siblings born to Clarence and Maude (Strannahan) Dickerson.

Dickerson was the last of her generation, which spanned from 1911, when her eldest brother, Loren, was born to Doris in 1928.

Clarence died young and Dickerson helped raise her siblings.

Several of the boys dropped out of school to work on the farm.

But Dickerson remained enrolled, catching a ride to the schoolhouse on a milk truck.

The roar of car engines would frighten her, she told the Sun in an 2013 interview.

“The dirt roads in Reber were connected to the mountains,” she said. “Every now and again, you would have the rum runners come through town during Prohibition. You could hear those big engines — they were roaring. I would climb up the highest bank I could find and hide from them until they went away.”

Dickerson graduated from Willsboro Central in 1933 and got a job working for G.E. in Buffalo making military equipment, assembling gun mounts for airplanes.

Following the war, she continued to work alongside other family members at the factory, later moving to Schenectady, where she spent 33 years in the company’s accounting department.

She lived in Scotia until 1996, when she decided to return to her hometown to be closer to family.

Once she did so, not a single life was left untouched, said Sue Swires, a niece.

While she never married, Dickerson quickly fell into the role of family matriarch, dispensing advice — “No matter what you do, take time to enjoy yourself” — and extending selfless care for the ever-expanding flock, including babies, which she loved.

rejoined her siblings and parents, all of whom are buried in this place ringed by mountains, swirling mist and country roads cutting through fertile soil.

Eric urged the congregation to remember her “soft-spoken strength, toughness, courage and kind heart” — and to enjoy a slice of strawberry shortcake in her memory.

“Her life journey has taken her many places and provided her many blessings,” Eric said. “Be assured she is happy and resting easy as her life has come full circle, bringing her back home to Reber.”

Eric finished speaking.

The urn containing her remains was placed in a yellow box inlaid with a rose.

The group paused for a moment and studied the tombstone: “On the road again,” it said.

Then the rain stopped.

Bienvenue a nos visiteurs Canadiens Translation project gives Willsboro Central French class practical experience

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WILLSBORO — It’s a refrain that rings throughout every high school foreign language classroom in the country: When are we ever going to use this?

The answer for Marie Blatchley’s college-level French class at Willsboro Central: Tout de suite.

Immediately.

Before recessing for the summer, the group spent their final weeks in the classroom translating the menu for Irises Cafe and Wine Bar in Plattsburgh.

Blatchley spearheaded the project after noticing the French menu translation for the casual dining hotspot could use some tweaking.

The influx of French-Canadian visitors to the Lake Champlain region during the summer, paired with Blatchley’s desire to have the kids gain practical experience, made the project seem like a no-brainer.

“Everybody likes food, and we’ve been learning about food since the sixth grade,” Blatchley said.

The group made fast work of the lunch and dinner menus, taking extra time to arrive at exact translations for trickier entries.

About 30 items were translated altogether.

Translating from English to French can be difficult, said Nate Yeager, because descriptive words come after the noun

in French — “red house” becomes “house red,” for instance.

Context is also important because words often have more than one meaning.

Max Longware quickly learned translator apps and other forms of translating aids can be inconsistent.

“Always check your sources,” Longware said. “Otherwise, you might be saying a lot different than what you’re trying to say.”

Both Longware and Yeager say being multi-lingual helps them to be more well-rounded, and gives them more opportunities to connect with the outside world.

Yeager encounters French-speaking visitors at Noblewood Park, where he works, and also makes annual field trips to Montreal as part of the school’s French Club.

Longware once hosted an exchange student, and spent two weeks in Nice, France.

“It isn’t new to have French-speaking people around me,” Longware said.

Blatchley paid the students in cupcakes from Delish.

The finished product was sent to Irises last month.

Carol McLean, the owner, said it was a great idea.

The restaurateur also aims to distribute a brochure containing the translated menu at the city marina — just in time for peak tourist season.

While English is widely-spoken in Quebec, McLean said, offering materials in the visitors’ native language is a nice way for Americans welcome their neighbors to the north.

McLean said she has noticed an continuous uptick in Canadian tourists.

Increased hospitality efforts are also on the rise, Blatchley added, including in Willsboro.

Bonjour! Prior to the summer recess, Marie Blatchley’s college-level French class at Willsboro Central translated the menu for Irises Cafe and Wine Bar in Plattsburgh. Blatchley conceptualized the project to give students a hands-on experience with the course material. “Kids often ask, when are they ever going to use this in real life?” Blatchley said. “You can actually apply it and help people.” From left: Max Longware, Nate Yeager, Marie Blatchley and Darrian Sweatt (Not pictured: Kaitlin Shaw).

“More businesses should embrace the Canadian customers,” McLean said. “They’re an important part of the North Country.”

Blatchley, who was born in Quebec and immigrated to the U.S. when she was a teenager, shared similar enthusiasm for cross-cultural communication.

“They come and support the local economy,” she said. “Why not do a little bit to support them?”

Blatchley aims to continue the project for future classes, citing several inquiries from local owners. Perhaps other school districts will eventually climb aboard.

“I would love to see it grow and keep going.”

Moriah leader dies unexpectedly Archie Rosenquist was historian, volunteer

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

MORIAH — The death of beloved local historian and neighborhood volunteer Archie E. Rosenquist has shocked the community.

Rosenquist, 87, had not been feeling well for several days, friends said, and went to see his physician at Westport Health Center, where he passed away of an apparent heart attack while being examined.

Former Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) Director Barbara Brassard said Rosenquist was a longtime, valued volunteer for her group.

“He wore the most hats of any of our volunteers, and if we had a volunteer assignment we could always count on Archie.

“He was a wonderful man. He was always ready to help anyone who needed help. It’s a great loss to the community.”

Rosenquist ate breakfast most days at Foote’s Port Henry Diner, where he always selected the same seat at the end of the counter closest to the dining room.

Diner owner/cook Donald Foote was a friend of Rosenquist’s and looked forward to seeing him every morning.

“There aren’t many like Archie,” Foote said. “He was an exceptional guy. He will be missed a lot.”

Foote said when he first opened the diner, business was a little slow for the first couple years, and he’d go out and talk with customers, getting to know Rosenquist well.

“I learned a lot from him. He was a thinker.”

People would come to the diner and ask questions about the history of Moriah and its iron ore mining industry, Foote said.

“We’d say ‘talk to Archie.’ He always knew. He was the go-to guy if you wanted to know the history of the mines. He was a great storyteller.”

Rosenquist volunteered as a guide at the Iron Center Museum in Port Henry, and as a greeter for the Amtrak passenger trains arriving at the Port Henry Train Station every day.

Rosenquist often ate lunch at the Moriah Senior Center located in the Train Station, where he was friends with former Port Henry village mayor Ruth McDonough and many others who eat there daily.

“He was such a dear friend,” McDonough said. “I really, really am going to miss him. He was a wealth of knowledge and vast experience in his life. I valued his friendship.”

Foote said he had many philosophical discussions with Rosenquist at the diner.

“He was very forward thinking. He’d lived through World War II, and he could see some modern parallels in rhetoric of political candidates.”

In 2015, Rosenquist gave an interview to the Sun in which he talked about mining. He was a third-generation miner.

“My father came here for work, and I ended up working in the mines from 1951 until 1968,” he said in the interview.

“It was like any other factory job, to me. You came to work, clocked in for your shift, and went through your day.”

The mines closed in 1971, but Rosenquist said he saw the end coming and left in 1968.

Rosenquist was born March 13, 1929, and died June 24, 2016.

Born in Monte Vista, Colo., he and his family moved to Moriah when he was 12 years old.

Rosenquist graduated from Port Henry High School in 1947, and the New York State Forest Ranger School in 1949.

He married Yvonne Bonnie O’Neil on Aug. 28, 1948 in Port

Archie Rosenquist ate lunch with friends at the Moriah Senior Center almost every day. The local historian and volunteer died June 24.

Henry; she passed away June 6, 2005, after 57 years of marriage.

They had three children: Bronwyn, David and Dawn, who survive.

Rosenquist’s career in the iron mines included assistant mining engineer, surveying, construction, hoist operator, and industrial safety officer.

McDonough said Rosenquist was a very valuable member of the community, their senior citizens group and the Moriah Historical Society.

“He was willing to help anybody that needed information.

He knew more about the mining and the mining industry than anyone around here.”

A graveside memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 8, at the South Moriah Cemetery, followed by a reception at the Port Henry Senior Center at the Train Station.

Right from wrong

ome days when you read the newspaper, watch the evening news or just watch people and the way they act you just have to shake your head and wonder where we are going as a people and what do we value?

From this 62 year old’s chair we’ve gone way off the path of sanity and into the lane of, well something very different.

Our infatuation with political correctness and the departure from common sense seems to defy logic.

Our inability to solve the problems we all recognize are problems and allowing small political issues and who gets credit holds us back from taking any action of significance. It just boggles the mind and seems so childish.

The lack of true patriotism and respect for our nation and the rights we once held so dear is discouraging.

The lack of trust and the second guessing of our law enforcement and judicial system, hindering them from being the very best they can be to keep us safe from harm is just a shame.

The anger and what appears to be outright demonizing of those we disagree with has gone way over the top.

We’ve turned our backs on our religious institutions, failing to recognize the importance of a supreme being and giving thanks for the blessings we’ve been so fortunate to receive.

Political and corporate corruption, as well as manipulation by officials who believe they are above the law has run rampant.

Work ethic, loyalty, teamwork and pride in the work place and a “can-do attitude” is taking a back seat to cutting corners, coasting, getting by and “it’s good enough attitude.”

We seem to have lost the notion of courtesy, when people put themselves and their interests first, instead of politely offering to let others go ahead of them.

As stewards of this land I fear we are letting down our forefathers who sacrificed so much to provide for our well being and leaving future generation in a much worse shape.

Anyone of these changes is perhaps no major departure from the past but when put altogether it builds toward a future country that is more about me than us and this nation didn’t get here putting me first. It became the land of opportunity and envy of the world because of our ability to watch out for each other and recognize right from wrong.

New federal overtime regulations latest example of grievous government overreach

A

s the Trump vs. Clinton battle royale for the White House enters the summer stretch, it can be easy to overlook what the current administration is doing.

For President Obama, this includes tinkering with overtime pay.

Under a new regulation issued by the Labor Department in May, the eligibility requirements for time-and-a-half overtime pay have doubled.

By Dec. 1, salaried workers earning up to $47,476 per year must receive time-and-a-half overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours per week.

The previous cutoff was $23,660.

The new policy will affect 4.2 million workers, according to the Labor Department, and the salary threshold would be updated every three years to keep up with inflation.

At face value, this seems like a sensible idea: Why shouldn’t salaried workers get paid for working overtime?

But just like the state’s disastrous minimum wage policy, which was signed

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year, the policy is an unwarranted intrusion into the private sector, and one that will dramatically shift workplace culture.

Aside from being a classic example of a government run amok, the trucksized hole in this policy is that it will wreak havoc on industries with notoriously irregular hours like, say, the media industry.

Businesses are faced with a decision: Move those who fill management roles up, and place all others under the hourly paradigm.

Media agencies, including this one, pride themselves on relaying accurate, timely information to their readers. That includes covering long hours at nighttime meetings, weekend events, or whenever news breaks.

It’s an unpredictable business. Most professionals accept it… and even thrive on the long hours.

But shifting shoe-leather reporters to an hourly wage in preparation of the policy shift is leading to the creation of holes once those hourly allotments run out.

Moving salaried workers to hourly wages can also be demoralizing to those who argue that you can’t place a price on creativity.

Shoehorning an unpredictable industry where anything can happen is just plain wrong, and is another classic example of this president fundamentally transforming the fabric of this country, much like he did with the Affordable Care Act. The shift will also cause seismic shifts in recruiting young talent.

Creative industries — including public relations, advertising, marketing and the film biz — can be brutally competitive.

The ladder to success is often putting in long hours at internships.

While grueling, the experience accrued by shadowing professionals is invaluable.

But under this new policy, the culture of merit-based achievement is threatened, and opportunities for career advancement will be closed.

The same goes for the political sphere, where an internship is standard course for young graduates hungry for a career in public policy and the political trenches.

Like with the minimum wage and the ACA, opposing this policy is not a question of ideology, but rather of practicality and survival.

Smaller businesses and nonprofits may not be in positions to accommodate this increase by pushing salaried employees past that threshold, or simply paying the overtime.

It’s simply yet another unfunded mandate.

While these isolated Washington, D.C. policy wonks say the current system is abusive, we disagree — it’s their tinkering with the private sector that is the real threat.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ThisÊ politicalÊ year,Ê 2016 To the Editor: This year may prove to be the most interesting political year in the last 50.

We have no less than five political races vying for the attention of Hamilton County voters.

We have the presidential, the United States Senate, the United States Congressional, the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly races.

Candidates from all walks of life, including incumbents, are traveling our large county speaking with voters and asking for their votes.

Regardless of your political philosophy, there is much to investigate when considering how to cast your vote and for whom.

For the Hamilton County Republican Committee, it is a year that presents both personal philosophical challenges and more importantly, a responsibility to put forth candidates that have the best opportunity in our vast senate and assembly districts to win in November.

That responsibilities start with reviewing a list of potential candidates and interviewing each one personally.

In spite of what some candidate may be saying we have extended an invitation to every district wide candidate. Without allowing a candidate this opportunity to state their positions and qualifications we would be doing the voters a great disservice. I am pleased to say every candidate took advantage of this opportunity.

After the interviews comes the hardest part.

We must decide if we should endorse a candidate and if so who? For the presidential primary, the question was easy to answer: The primary took place very early in the political year. There is plenty of time to endorse and support the Republican nominee. The same holds true for the U.S. Senate and Congressional races. On the other hand, the New York State Senate and Assembly primaries take place in September, late in the political year.

The committee believes it was necessary to endorse a candidate well before the actual primary date. We have spent numerous hours sitting through interviews and even more hours deliberating on which candidate has the best qualifications to represent our county in Albany. The result is the endorsement of Assemblyman Marc Butler for Assembly and Assemblyman Jim Tedisco for NYS Senate.

Having made these tough decisions will allow us to arrange for many Meet The Candidate events throughout the summer season.

I encourage every voter regardless of party affiliation to attend these events and ask hard questions to each candidate.

After all, you are hiring this person to represent you in Albany for the coming years. We all want the person best qualified to traverse the political maze in Albany and bring effective legislation to our communities.

One last thought: Please remember voting is the one thing that makes us all equal, a constitutional privilege!

Bill Murphy Chairman Hamilton County Republican Committee

PerfectÊ weather,Ê cars,Ê businessesÊ createÊ greatÊ festival To the Editor: The weather was perfect; the classic cars, from all over the two-state area, were amazing. The vendors were great and the friends and members of First Congregational Church had their game faces on. All of the above and the good graces of a gracious Creator helped to make this one of the best strawberry festivals yet.

The crowds were so great that we will admit to having underestimated our initial quantities, but we are grateful for the patience of our patrons as we worked to ensure that all who came to this year’s festival were pleased.

I want to stop and acknowledge our great sponsors and supporters for this year’s 2016 annual Strawberry Festival and Classic Car Show: CPTELCO and Bridgepoint Communications, Avery Energy, McDonalds of Ticonderoga, Air Barrier Solutions, Bodettes BBQ, Tony’s Ticonderoga Sports, G Stone Motors, Deneker Chevrolet, DeBro’s On the Way Cafe, Gunnisons Lakeside Orchard, Loreman’s, Tromblee’s Greenhouse, James Family Greenhouse, Koffee Cup Bakery, Stewarts, Pepsi, Mackenzie’s Classic Meats, Village Auto, and our friends at Crown Point Citgo.

Other supporters included Tori’s Hair, Buck Mountain Maple Syrup, Jumps for Joy bounce House, Relay for Life Team and Penelope the Clown.

Thank you all for helping to make this a fantastic family experience.

TrumpÊ aÊ Ô foul-mouthedÊ tyrantÕ To the Editor: After reading the July 2 opinion by John Sharkey of Ticonderoga I came away wondering if he was a new found prophet. Mr. Sharkey tells us Trump will be a “great president” and he does so using some of Trumps dialog. He believes those coming into our country “illegally” are bringing disease and criminal histories. Are we to believe those coming into our country legally don’t carry disease or have criminal histories?

I submit that right here in Ticonderoga we have people with criminal

COMMENTARY histories who have lived here their entire lives. Disease is also a problem as those who use illegal drugs have passed them on to others.

When Americans think of “great presidents” we look back at what they have accomplished not what one would do if elected. Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR were “great presidents.” We as Americans have benefitted from what they accomplished while serving our country. Many others of both major political parties have records to be admired but none was a “great president” before serving.

Prophet Mr. Sharkey should take the time to read the history of these men and he will see that none of them declared bankruptcy as many times as Trump. He will also see that these were men of statue and statesmanship who did their best to keep America out of war unless absolutely necessary.

John Sharkey over the years has written many opinions about our military and going after other countries. I have to wonder as a veteran what branch of military service did he serve in? Those of us who served in time of conflict know the terrible cost of war and the scars one receives in his or her mind never heal. Trump who got himself deferments so he wouldn’t have to serve, touts how he as President would send our troops against whoever he chooses. Diplomacy to Trump is something that should not exist. Those who don’t care if their sons and daughters are sent into harms way at the whim of a hothead are only fooling themselves and will have a long time to mourn.

Trump’s view on world trade is a joke that isn’t funny. America needs trade partners as our world has changed. Ticonderoga has International Paper that employs many from the North Country. International Paper is exactly as its name implies, it is “International” and relies on trade partners like China and the rest of the world to keep its employees working. Perhaps Prophet Sharkey thinks America can go it alone in this economy or that Essex County is the center of the earth.

I have no idea how anyone could embrace a foul-mouthed tyrant like Trump and think he will be a “great president.” Sharkey’s tirade about Hillary Clinton’s 40 years of criminal history is just another outright lie but it fits with his way of twisting the truth. As Jesus said: “Let him who is without sin throw the first stone.”

RightÊ footÊ breakingÊ lawÊ needed To the Editor: Is there a right foot braking lobby and why should we care?

Yes there is and we should care because in the last 50 years it can be blamed for the deaths of 30,000 people, the life changing injuries to millions and the financial cost of billions and this is just in parking lots. Multiply a few times when you add in the roadways.

Who is in this lobby? Those in charge of driver legislation and training and most drivers of automatic transmission cars who have been indoctrinated to use only the right foot to operate both the gas pedal and the brake pedal, based on the scientific proof of, “my father and the driving instructor said it was the only way.”

NHTSA has published data indicating that right foot pedal errors cause about 18,000 parking lot crashes each year. The lobby blames it on women and the old drivers. They refuse to even consider that right foot braking on automatic cars is too complicated for the average driver, regardless of age or gender, especially in a moment of panic.

Please for the sake of the pedestrians, cyclists and especially the children, ask those in charge to commit to a scientific study comparing right foot braking with the Left Foot Braking Method (leftfootbraking.org), or other safe, Google-like methods of braking.

Dinner@Eight fundraiser scheduled in Elizabethtown ELIZABETHTOWN — This Saturday evening, July 9, The University of Vermont Heath Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital Auxiliary will be holding its Dinner @ Eight fundraiser. The annual event will again be held at Hand House in Elizabethtown.

The evening begins at 5 p.m. with cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres and desserts to chamber music provided by students from the Meadow Mount School of Music. This year, Crary Foundation Executive Director Jim Kinley will conduct tours and speak on the history and ghosts of Hand House; including the connection between Hand House and ECH. From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. the Joe Wyant Band will pick up the pace providing dance music.

Dinner@ Eight co-chair Anne Marie Denton stated, “Everyone is invited; it’s such a gracious evening to meet new friends or visit with seldom seen ones. Hand House is a lovely house. We are so fortunate the venue is made available to us each year for this, our largest fundraiser of the year.”

Gayle Alexander, co-chair of the event, reminded everyone that all are welcome.

“If you did not receive an invitation or have not sent your donation you are still welcome to attend. Please contact Jane Hooper, Director of Public Relations, at the hospital (518-873-3003) to let us know you plan to attend,” Alexander said.

This is the 13th year for this fundraiser which uses the donations to buy patient care equipment used throughout the facilities, items such as wheel chairs, PT equipment, furnishings and comfort items for the 25 patient rooms in this critical access hospital. Elizabethtown Community Hospital serves the health needs of the surrounding communities including health centers in Willsboro, Westport, AuSable Forks, Wilmington and Elizabethtown.

Medicaid Changes Proposal sacrifices cancer patients for cost savings Columnist

O

fficials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) recently proposed a major change to the way Medicare pays for advanced cancer medicines. Unfortunately, the changes threaten cancer patients’ access to lifesaving care.

Many people are familiar with Medicare Part D, which covers prescription drugs that beneficiaries purchase at pharmacies. Part B, however, is less well known. It covers drugs for illnesses such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and immune diseases that are administered at clinics or outpatient hospitals.

CMMI believes doctors prescribe expensive drugs, rather than clinically appropriate drugs, because under Part B doctors receive a percentage of the drug’s price to cover the cost of administering it. While there is no evidence doctors prescribe the wrong drug so they make more money, CMMI nevertheless proposes to “fix” this supposed problem by altering physicians’ reimbursements.

Doctors who administer a drug under Part B were traditionally reimbursed the average sales price of the medicine plus 6 percent. Following budget cuts in 2013, Medicare officials reduced that rate to about 4.3 percent.

Now, they’re proposing to cut it to 2.5 percent, but add a flat fee of around $17 each time doctors administer a medicine.

CMMI ignores the impact this change will have on patients.

Smaller community practices and those in rural communities will drop patients that lack supplemental insurance or send them to major hospitals for treatment; this occurred in 2013 with the “sequestration” budget cuts. CMMI’s latest cuts will force more providers to turn away patients.

And if making patients potentially drive hundreds of miles each week for chemotherapy wasn’t enough, CMMI proposes to test a host of “value-based care models.” For example, in one model officials would compare a drug’s average life expectancy gains to its cost. If the drug doesn’t meet an arbitrary dollars-to-days ratio, it’s considered a bad bargain for the Medicare.

The health of tens of millions of Americans hangs in the balance.

Men have a fifty-fifty chance of developing cancer in their lifetimes; for women it is one in three.

Americans must ask themselves: when they or their loved ones develop cancer, do they want to receive the treatment their doctors say will provide the best chance of survival and quality of life? Or do they want to receive only the medicines that government officials deem costeffective?

Patient health is not something to be toyed with. It’s time for the government officials who tinker with reimbursement formulas to realize that their fiddling has consequences for real people.

Annie Baker’s “Body Awareness,” starring Martha Swan, Lia Loomis, Dennis Goodnough and Terry Young, will show at the Upper Jay Art Center from July 7-10 and 14-17. “Body Awareness” is what Time Out New Yorks calls “an astonishingly complex web of emotions and ideas ... a smart, modest work about ordinary, flawed people, grasping for connection.” Tickets are $18 per person. Reservations are recommended. Showtime on each date is at 8 p.m. For more information, call 946-8315.

The Adirondack Art Association in Essex will spotlight an exhibit by watercolorist Ann Pember from July 1 to Aug. 2.

wear helmets.

Some unsupervised young riders are failing to do so, Gillilland said.

Furthermore, he said, participants in motorsports, including the demolition derby, have also long been required to wear protective headgear.

While the policy stops short of requiring all equestrians to utilize headgear, Gillilland said hopes the county will consider passing such legislation in the future.

The measure has drawn concern from those who worry it will dissuade Western-style riders from participating at future exhibition events, including next month’s annual fair.

But Gillilland said the industry has adapted to the more stringent safety standards, including the invention of helmets that look like cowboy hats.

In the event of an accident, Essex County would be liable for any injuries sustained on-site.

“We hope the riders who do Western events will understand this is for everyone’s safety and give examples to younger people,” Gillilland said.

The helmet policy is just the latest in a series of fast-moving changes sweeping the facility since the creation of a task force last year designed to conduct a comprehensive overview of the property, which officials have said is long overdue.

County officials conducted an extensive walkthrough of the facility earlier this spring.

The tour revealed a number of organizational issues, including the status of the buildings that have been constructed over the years.

Without lease or ownership agreements, the ad hoc buildings exist in a state of limbo. Due to ambiguity over jurisdiction, many hadn’t been subjected to a codes enforcement inspection in years.

At least one, the Midway Diner, has been declared structurally unsound and was torn down last month.

But despite its condition — the wooden structure was marred by warped and uneven floors, gaping holes and a general sense of precarious ricketiness — the building remained open, serving fair patrons as recently as last year.

“I couldn’t believe [the state] Department of Health let it open last year,” said Mike Mascarenas, deputy county manager, at a task force meeting in April.

The owner, should he wish to rebuild, said Gillilland, has been offered financing incentives and a 10-year lease (subject to board of supervisors approval).

Ownership disputes remain unsettled for at least three additional buildings.

But, said Gillilland at the task force meeting, documentation “either by contract or by deed or easement” is non-existent for any of those structures — even those constructed by private parties.

“Nothing on these fairgrounds is owned by anybody except

for the county,” Gillilland said.

The task force also determined the county’s insurance requirements were too stringent, leading to an underuse of the facility by outside vendors.

Smaller vendors and event organizers had been frozen out due to the high insurance costs.

“I think we’re probably a little too extreme and that’s been part of the problem with renting the facility is we’re asking for an awful lot,” Mascarenas said.

To combat these and other issues, the task force has been tasked with creating a base-level blueprint for whipping the facility into shape.

This includes a complete rewrite of contracts, determining rental use structures and the creation of an administrative policy to govern the facility.

The goal, said Gillilland, is to create an “equitable foundation” for tenants moving forward.

Gates to control illegal dumping and storage have been installed, and the task force is considering the installation of security cameras.

Myriad issues smaller remain. The electrical network, a system that currently sees all buildings included on a single electrical bill, needs to be untangled, for instance. And then there is the possible conflict with a county-employee who leases campground space on the property, a measure approved by lawmakers last year.

The county employee has the licensure, but the facility is now privately operated.

County officials admit the process is messy. But Gillilland said he hopes the fairgrounds can be transformed into an asset, one that is not only regularly used by the county, but also one of which they can be proud.

The Essex County Fair was once the social event of the year, said the lawmaker, “and it still is for a lot of people.”

From page 1 said, and often miss out on opportunities to do so due to the lack of organized networking activities.

“This event here is for veterans to meet and talk to one another — to joke, laugh and enjoy their time together,” Gagnier said.

Gagnier is asking attendees to wear their military caps. Doing so will make it easier for personnel to identify those who may have served in the same unit, he said.

The idea has already received a positive response from the veterans community, said Gagnier, who served in the US Air Force as a security policeman.

Four American Legion chapters have signed on, Gagnier said, and the Veterans Administration has chartered at least one bus.

And calls are continuing to come in.

The group will lead a motorcycle procession to the museum beginning at 9 a.m. following a rally in St. Regis Falls.

Flags displayed on military graves, normally burned, will accompany the group on

their journey.

“Those memories of those people will be going with us on that route as well,” Gagnier said.

At noon, the group will hold a flag-raising ceremony at the museum, replete with a bugler.

Gagnier spoke of a majestic Adirondack landscape framed by mountains.

“I think that moment alone is worth a picture,” he said. “Just the trip alone is worth it.”

The Adirondack Museum, which hosts 24 buildings spread across 121 acres, offers a veteran discount all season long, as well as free admission for active military and their families, said Paige Doerner, marketing manager.

“The Adirondack Museum is excited to honor our veterans with free admission this July.”

Veteran’s Appreciation Day at the Adirondack Museum: Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Proof of military service, residency must be presented at the admissions desk upon arrival. No proof required for guests. Gagnier encourages veterans to call the Adirondack Museum at 518-352-7311 to thank them for the opportunity.

Water festival open for kids WILLSBORO — The Adirondack Water Fun Fest will take place Friday, July 15, at the Noblewood Beach, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Learn from local agency experts about water issues and preventive measures to keep water resources clean and safe.

Music to fill the air at E-town Social Center

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown Social Center will host two nights of concerts throughout the summer with entertainment for all ages.

For seven weeks between July 12 and Aug. 24, the center will host Tuesday Night Lawn Concerts and Wednesday Family Nights on the lawn of the center.

“We are so excited to not only bring back our Tuesday night concerts featuring local bands, but add Wednesday night performances that are fun for all ages,” director Arin Burdo said.

“We have big talent in our little communities and it is a privilege to showcase them on Tuesdays. We hope people will enjoy relaxing on the lawn with friends, listening to music and maybe grabbing a bite to eat from the new local food truck, the Bronx Bistro.”

Tuesday night concerts will open Matt McCabe, a ELCS and Social Center alum, along with Gary Blodgett July 12, followed

by The Pitch Benders String Band July 19; Gospel Night with Schroon Lake’s Word of Life July 26; The Wyant Band Aug. 2; Lodestone Aug. 9; Brent Vosburg Aug. 16; and Rock N’ Lil Aug. 23.

On Tuesdays, the audience is invited to be apart of different events, including tennis clinics (select dates), tennis, pickleball, badminton, frisbee golf and kan jam, along with food vendors.

On Wednesday nights, the playground and courts will be open along with tennis clinics and other children’s activities on certain nights, along with food provided by Bub’s.

“We hope that people will enjoy our facilities while they are here,” Burdo said. “We encourage families to come before the show to play tennis, badminton, volleyball, or enjoy special activities on certain nights. LIFE Church will offer a bounce house and treats on several Wednesday evenings before and after the show, including the first Family Night on July 13. We have a tennis clinic for children planned on July 20 with Paul Pulsifer at 5 p.m. All activities are free. Bub’s Pizza will be on location for anyone who would like to purchase dinner before or after the show.”

The Wednesday concerts will feature family shows and singers.

“Professional artists from near and far will entertain on Wednesday nights,” Burdo said. “With few opportunities to enjoy performing arts in our community, we are so excited to offer local families this great line-up. We have musicians who have performed around the world, children’s opera, puppet theatre, Shakespeare, and more.”

Burdo said the center has received plenty of support for these programs.

“We appreciate the continued support of Supervisor Noel Merrihew and the Elizabethtown Council which enables us to continue to offer local bands on Tuesday nights,” she said. “We

are so grateful for the support of the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts which enabled us to expand this program to include professional artists on Wednesday nights. The support of the Essex County Arts Council has helped enormously in promoting our program. We truly hope that families take advantage of this wonderful opportunity that these groups have afforded.”

Following Thomas’ catch last month, word spread like wildfire. Everybody wanted a picture with the pint-sized fisherman. And many conceded, while there was still one day remaining in the tournament, Thomas’ catch couldn’t be beat.

Naturally, he notched first place in the tournament’s junior division coldwater category, walking away with two trophies and $1,200 and cash and prizes. At the awards ceremony, his picture even donned the posters, much to the surprise of his parents.

Big sister Ava also fared well, pulling in a 7.5 pound, 27” trout.

Thomas honed his skills with a 14’ aluminum boat, which he used to play around Willsboro Bay. A chief goal for Thomas in entering the tourney was to win himself a motor.

“He definitely achieved that,” John said. “We just have to get it for him.”

As far as the fish, it will be cut into steaks for a “festival of the giant salmon,” John said.

Despite his tremendous achievements, Thomas remains modest and humble: “I just like looking at the fish,” he said.
