Local races shaping up Entry of independent candidates firm up ballots in Essex County

Miner Institute shares modern dairy farming practices in the North Country PLATTSBURGH/CHAZY — The first evidence of milking cows and consuming dairy products was drawn in ancient Egyptian caves around 230 B.C. Since then, dairy farming practices have evolved and improved to much more than Teah a simple farmer milking a cow by hand.

Dowling Writer Melissa Woolpert, master of science candidate at Miner Institute in Chazy, did a presentation called “New Look, Same Great Farm: Understanding Modern Dairy Farming” at the Plattsburgh Public Library Wednesday, Aug. 26, focusing on modern dairy farming practices and how the dairy industry has evolved.

“I’m certainly not a farm girl by nature, but when I came up here, I fell in love with the cows and I fell in love with farming,” Woolpert said. “Old farms are beautiful, and there’s nothing better than an iconic farm landscape, but more modern farms offer a lot of things that old farms didn’t offer.” >> Story Continued | pg. 4

ELIZABETHTOWN — The entry of independent candidates into the pool of local races has firmed up the ballot for this year’s election cycle.

Here’s how the independent office seekers have shaken up the field.

Newcomb’s open seat now has three candidates seeking to replace outgoing supervisor George Canon: Independent candidate Robert Ward will challenge Wester Miga (R) and Democratic candidate Eleanor Yandon.

If elected, Yandon would be the town’s first female chief executive. Chesterfield, Keene and Westport are the others who have never elected a woman to the top slot.

Otis Mountain Get Down brings heavyhitters to E’town 30+ bands to perform at outdoor festival

By Pete DeMola

youremail@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Zach Allott had a vision: Bring people to the foothills of the High Peaks — lots of them — and ply them with good tunes.

The rest should take care of itself.

Because why not?

Allott and about a dozen Burlington buddies had background in the music business. They were young, ambitious and had the right blend of industry connections and do-ityourself ethic.

While music festivals are common in neighboring Vermont, life across the lake has traditionally been more placid, where most towns roll the sidewalks up at night.

Three years later, the Otis Mountain Get Down has become a success story, with festivalgoers coming from across the northeast to kick back for a late-summer weekend in this sedate Adirondack community.

“When it first started, we didn’t really know what we were onto,” said Allott. “It happened organically.”

They already had the venue, a stretch of land owned by Allott’s dad, Jeff. While the elder Allott also toyed with festivals for a seven-year stretch, they were smaller affairs, mostly bluegrass outfits performing for locals.

Once Allott and pals took the reigns, they got to work cutting trees, building stages and clearing a field that eventually became known as Tent City.

The team of 14 now have more polished roles, including a videographer, public relations person and a facilities coordinator.

“Everyone brings something to the table,” said Allott.

The impact on the community has been measurable. While attendees at the former bluegrass festivals used to watch the music and leave, attendees are now staying on-site and camping. Some 65 percent come from outside of the area, said Allott, including folks from Boston, New York City and Montreal.

During festival weekend, local businesses always see an uptick in business, said Allott, noting that one year, the Arsenal Inn reported selling out of breakfasts.

Allott expects 2,000 people this year. The third installment, which kicks off on Sept. 11, will see over 30 artists performing, including Black Milk, the Detroit-based MC and producer best known for his work with influential hip hop outfit Slum Village.

Team Otis also managed to tap Rough Francis, the Burlington-based punk outfit formed by the sons of the Detroit brothers who formed one of the genre’s first bands, Death.

“It’s a big deal,” said Allott.

Otis Mountain Get Down: Sept. 11 to 13 in Elizabethtown.

Tickets: $50. For more info, visit otismountain.com or find them on Facebook.

Now in its third year, the Otis Mountain Get Down is slated to draw thousands of music fans from across the region to Elizabethtown.

ELCS, Westport Central initiate merger study

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — As kiddos begin trickling back to school next week to learn their ABCs, administrators are focusing on just one — M, for merger.

New this year on the personal curriculum of Elizabethtown-Lewis Central Superintendent Scott Osborne and his counterpart in Westport, Cynthia Ford-Johnston, is the merger study that both boards resolved to initiate earlier this summer.

Once the academic year takes off, said Osborne, he will focus on hiring a consultant.

Info will start trickling in as early as next month.

For the past two years, the boards have been holding a series of joint meetings to discuss

how they can work closer together. So far, they’ve resolved to share a superintendent at the beginning of the 2016-17 academic year (Osborne has been tapped for the top slot); they already share sports teams and several administrative personnel, including a new special education administer beginning this year.

“I think a merger study is a positive thing,” said Osborne. “At the very least, a third party will be examining our districts very closely. If nothing else, we’ll know more about the school and how to operate more efficiently.”

The goal isn’t to shut down the school, said the super, but rather to pull together resources for the students.

“I think together, we’re stronger,” said Osborne.

Reaction amongst staff and faculty has been quiet so far, said the superintendent. But of course, school doesn’t start until Sept. 8.

Miner Institute << Continued from | p. 1

Over the years, dairy farming has made three improvements: animal well-being, farming land and health safety.

FOOD SAFETY At the Miner Institute, if they’re cleared with a clean bill of health, cows enter the milking parlor two to three times a day.

Instead of hand milking, the Miner Institute using milking machines, which are soft silicone shells with rubber inflations on the inside that use a combination of general massaging and vacuum-like suction to get the milk.

The milk is tested seven to 10 times from when it leaves the cow to when it gets into the dairy part of a grocery store to make sure it’s free of antibiotics.

Antibiotics can get into the milk supply if farmers accidentally put the milk from a cow who’s been treated with antibiotics into the food supply.

If this happens, farmers are responsible for purchasing the entire trailer truck load of milk, which could cost them about $10,000.

Farmers prevent this by identifying the treated cow with red velcro straps around her legs and keeping track of the specific medication she’s taking and how long it takes to get out of her system. Though she still gets milked, her milk is separated

If the two districts were to successfully merge, which requires voter approval from both communities, they’d be beating the odds.

Since 2010, 17 of 19 school district merger attempts in New York have failed.

Many other attempts never come to fruition, like when Crown Point Central rejected a possible merger with Ticonderoga Central in 2013 after a public outcry.

Ford-Johnston called it a proactive move by both boards venturing into things knowingly and knowledgeably.

“It’ll be an interesting challenge,” said FordJohnston. “A bold step and a brave move.”

Also on deck for this fall at ELCS is the completion of a five-year budget plan and a report on the school’s facilities, including the bus garage at the corner of Route 73 and Court Street, a stone building that’s over a century old.

Once the findings are revealed, the question

completely from the rest of the herd’s.

As a back-up plan, a milk inspector goes and examines barns unexpectedly with a check board list of all the things that needs to be in order. If a farmer does even one of these things wrong, they’ll have a certain time to fix it. If they don’t fix it by that time, they’ll be fined and run the risk of not having a place to sell their milk anymore.

“This is one of the most important things for farms because farmers have people who are consuming the milk they produce,” Woolpert said. “Farmers really feel a commitment to making sure that the milk they’re selling is safe for humans to drink.”

ANIMAL WELL-BEING After going through the milking process, which is only 10 percent of their day, the cows are able to make their own choice as to what they want to do for the remainder 90 percent of the day.

Cows have the option to eat at their feed bunk, which is a 24-hour all-you-can-eat buffet equipped with headlocks so that cows can enjoy their meal without interruption or interception.

When not eating or milking, cows can choose to lie down in either sand or sawdust bedding, get cooled off by the barn’s several sprinklers or get a massage by a touch-sensor massager.

for the board, said Osborne, is what to do with it: Should it be renovated? Sold? Kept, but used for something else?

The district also has two new faces serving in high-profile roles: Principal Rob Witkiewicz and Secretary to the Superintendent Allison Sucharzewski.

Westport, too, is slated for some changes.

Principal Adam Facteau moved to CV-TEC — a replacement hasn’t yet been officially announced — while the district will also see new technology and English teachers.

The district is also examining the possibility of a four-school share of a school lunch manager, a measure that would allow the districts to negotiate better prices and meal options.

“It’s going to be a very interesting year,” said Ford-Johnston.

Other positive aspects of the barn include fans to keep the cows cool in the summer and insulated curtains and ceilings to keep the cows warm in the winter.

“From an animal well-being standpoint,” Woolpert said, “we’ve definitely made improvements.”

LAND STEWARDS Farmers, Woolpert said, have always been stewards of the land.

Today, farmers are trying to make sure that any nutrients, such as fertilizer, that could run off the fields get caught up into a green area of grass, shrubs and trees so that it doesn’t make it into the nearest waterway.

Also, farmers are working hard to prevent erosion —loss of soil and rocks from rain or wind.

To prevent this, farmers are starting to use Cover Crops - an option to provide a soil cover or barrier to prevent loss of soil.

“The things that haven’t changed are the innovation that farmers use everyday to continue improving,” Woolpert said.

“Farming is still really hard work and farmers feel a huge sense of responsibility for the environment, the animals and the food and drink that we’re all enjoying today.”

Vacation rental tax all but certain in Essex County

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County is primed to collect tax on vacation rental units beginning on Jan. 1, 2016.

Applying the 3 percent occupancy tax on these units — furnished homes that have multiplied in recent years with shifts in the tourism industry — is estimated to net the county at least $250,000 per year.

Under the current law, the county already has the authority to collect the tax, Essex County Attorney Daniel Manning told lawmakers on Monday. They’ve just never opted to do so.

“We’ve had the authority to levy tax against vacation rentals all along,” said Manning.

Since 1999, the proceeds of the tax have been kicked over to the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST) to promote the county’s tourism assets.

Last year, the county’s traditional hoteliers generated slightly under $2 million.

Initial research revealed about 500 individuals who are advertising units online within the county, ROOST CEO James McKenna told lawmakers last month. It’s a number that is likely to grow as tourists seek out increasingly tailored travel experiences, he said.

McKenna noted the private rental industry assists with large countywide events, including Ironman and the Wilmington Whiteface Bike Fest, because traditional lodging avail-

ability cannot meet demand.

Leases over 30 days, including hunting camps, will be exempt from the tax, as are campgrounds without permanent buildings.

In Wilmington, vacation rental units have surpassed traditional lodging opportunities, said Supervisor Randy Preston, who is “100 percent in favor” of the measure.

“The sooner, the better,” said Preston. “I’m happy we’re moving forward. It should have been done sooner.”

Lawmakers were initially skeptical of levying another tax on the community when they first grew wise to the issue in March. Discussion at one early meeting grew so calamitous, several lawmakers walked out of discussions.

But they’ve since mellowed after a special task force helped sweeten the deal.

In the past, supervisors in the southern part of the county complained at ROOST’s technique for disseminating the funds, arguing that the money was chiefly spent to promote northern attractions. (Northern lawmakers, for their part, countered with the fact that the majority of the funds are generated in their communities).

Each town will now receive a $2,500 annually as part of a new Tourism Enhancement Fund, or TEF, a number that may increase depending on revenues. Provided they meet certain guidelines, they can use it however they’d like.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the TEFs were a good start.

Behaving badly

ast week early morning TV viewers in Virginia were shocked when a disgruntled former WDBL station employee killed a young reporter and the cameraman filming her interview.

We learned the shooter was Vester Flanagan, who professionally went by the name Bryce Williams. He was described as someone who was difficult to work with, easily offended and sometimes feared. Prior to the shooting, Flanagan had previous employment issues that, at one time, would have been made known to the management at WDBJ. Nothing in Flanagan’s background disqualified him from buying the gun he used to commit this crime.

As for his mental health, the standard in federal law is very high: “adjudicated as a mental defective” or “committed to a mental institution.” Nothing in Flanagan’s history indicates that either standard fit him, but it appears many others were aware of his reputation as an unstable person.

So many of these senseless shootings end up being committed by unstable individuals that others knew, but that common knowledge is unable to be put into the public domain for fear of legal retribution.

In 2013 there was a total of 404 workplace homicides according the US Labor Bureau of Statistics. Colleagues and former coworkers were responsible for 74 of those 404 deaths.

During my 40+ year business career, I’ve personally witnessed a number of dismissals that have gone very badly. Thankfully, none ever resulted in an injury or death, although there were times when we called law enforcement.

Employers are frequently warned by human resource legal specialists that no good deed goes unpunished. In today’s workplace one of the most damaging things a well meaning employer can do is to provide employment information to another employer. Even something as simple as a letter of positive recommendation can come back to haunt the employer.

While I’m not advocating for trampling on anyone’s personal rights there must be some form of clearing house that can be developed where private records can be compiled and maintained, if for nothing more than further screening should someone amass numerous red flags from multiple independent sources.

We must find a solutions to help unstable individuals get the counseling they need and prevent them from obtaining lethal weapons.

A community of caring sees the fruit of its labors E

xactly one year ago today, students were set to enjoy their first weekend of the 2014-15 school year.

In the town of Ticonderoga, on a night that should have been reserved for taking in the first home game of the varsity football season, that all changed when just after 11 p.m. Sept. 5, a teacher working late at the school heard a noise and detected smoke at St. Mary’s Catholic School.

Hours later, firefighters, teachers, staff and the community of St. Mary’s school were left to witness the damage as the sun came up on a Saturday morning that changed their lives and those in the community.

There was little time to hang heads and mourn the sudden loss of supplies, materials and the building that had long been home to local children and teachers.

Immediately, plans were put in place to get the kids back into school. Younger kids found a new home when the First United Methodist Church of Ticonderoga opened its door to help another member of the ecumenical community.

With the youngsters set up, the basement of St. Mary’s Church became home for the middle school students, who were able to continue their learning.

Also as quick were the efforts to replace everything which was damaged. Organizations like the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Knights of Columbus, Elks, International Paper, Rotary - this list can go on forever - stepped up to supply needed items for students like paper, pencils, classroom supplies and more.

Former students now miles away started GoFundMe pages on the internet, bringing in more supplies and needed money.

Dinners were planned. Bake sales by students themselves were held. We reported on the efforts of Aubrey Whitford, who helped design a “St. Mary’s Strong” sweatshirt which raised funds toward the cause.

Catholic charities and many of the regional diocese also helped out. Last week, we reported on a supply drive happening now through Margot Kapusinski, who summers in Hullet’s Landing and is asking for help from her home diocese in New Jersey.

This all shows what a community can do when they rally together for the common good. In fact, the Ticonderoga community is at it again, recently holding Rhyan’s Ride to benefit Rhyan Towne, a young man battling disease.

His t-ball league also held a fundraiser for he and his family earlier in the year.

We have seen this before. We saw it in Keene, Jay and other towns after Tropical Storm Irene blew through leaving a path of damage rarely seen in the North Country. We saw it in Elizabethtown and Westport when communities banded together to help fight for youth in need of organ transplants.

This sense of oneness is special in the North Country, and something we should not take for granted.

With all this being said, the biggest question has yet to be addressed.

On Sept. 6, there is scheduled to be a re-opening mass and dedication at the school.

Part one of closure for the Ticonderoga and St. Mary’s community.

Two days later, students will rush into their “new” school for the first time in 368 days.

Part two of closure.

So what will be the final chapter which will bring full closure to this community?

The St. Mary’s School fire was ruled arson by state investigators shortly after it was put out. Touring through the charred innards of the school, our reporters could see where the ignition points in five locations were, not at all accidental. This is the final question which needs to be answered.

Those accountable need to be brought to justice, the final closure to allow a community, school and student body the chance to once and for all put a tragic moment behind them and remember the healing and celebration which all took place as the community bonded together in the aftermath.

COMMENTARY

Reaching Out and Saving Lives To the Editor: Did you know that experts believe that most suicidal individuals do not want to die? They just want to end the pain they’re experiencing. Experts also know that suicidal crises tend to be brief. So when warning signs are detected early, lives can be saved.

Suicide is an issue everywhere, and it’s an issue in Essex County. But there are services available in our community for assessing and treating suicidal behaviors and their underlying causes. The Essex County Suicide Prevention Coalition is sponsoring a Suicide Prevention Awareness Rally Tuesday, Sept.

8, from 11:30 am to 1 p.m. at the County Government Complex lawn in Elizabethtown. It is free and open to the public. The Suicide Prevention Awareness Rally features community agencies with the goal of raising awareness, providing information and increasing action to reduce suicide.

The Rally is one of the ways we’re reaching out. I hope to see you at the Rally – it’s for everyone and anyone – get help for yourself or get help for someone else. There is hope, and together we can reduce the number of lives affected by suicide.

Steve Valley Chairperson Essex County Suicide Prevention Coalition Elizabethtown

Town Board passes resolutions To the Editor: Willsboro Town Board consisting of Charles Lustig, Nancy Huestis Eustis, Steven Benway, Shau Gillliland and me, unanimously approved the resolutions to change the grant from NYSENCON for the repairs to the river banks at the former Black Ash Pond to the west side of the Boquet River. We also approved at no cost to the Town to make a study of removing the dam located on Mill Street and School Street. In the resolution for the study Charles Lustig insisted that if the dam was to be removed a referendum of the Willsboro voters would be done requesting the voters to declare if they want the dam in or out. Both resolutions were passed unanimously by 2013 Town Board. During the discussion with the engineering company making the study I stressed that I wanted to see information on possible flooding in the Hamlet area and lamprey eel problem and what would the aesthetic appearance be of the hamlet river area. My concern was that if the dam was out, the water in that area

Donovan, also an independent.

In Essex, former two-term supervisor Sharon Boisen is seeking to regain the seat she lost to incumbent Ed Gardner, a Republican, in 2013.

North Hudson is the only town in Essex County with a primary for the top slot, where incumbent Ronald Moore faces a challenge from Bruce Caza on Sept. 10. Both are Republicans. Moore also filed to run as an independent; Caza did not.

Half of the county’s 18 town supervisors are running unopposed. Charles Harrington (R-Crown Point), Noel Merrihew (R-Elizabethtown), Archie Depo (D-Jay), Bill Ferebee (R-Keene), Tom Scozzafava (R-Moriah), Mike Marnell (RSchroon), Bill Grinnell (R-Ticonderoga), Shaun Gillilland (R-Willsboro) and Randy Preston (I-Wilmington) will all glide into another two-year term.

Two newcomers, Ike Tyler (R-Westport) and James Monty (R-Lewis), will not face challengers in their efforts to replace the outgoing supervisors in their communities.

Stephen McNally (D-Minerva) and Charles Whitson (R-St. Armand) serve four-year terms and are not up for re-election until 2017.

TOWN COUNCIL: PRIMARIES Jay, Lewis and North Hudson will see town council hopefuls battle it out next week in primaries.

Three open seats are available in Jay, including the unexpired term left vacant

by Depo, the long-serving councilman who was appointed supervisor following former Randy Douglas’ resignation in June.

Republicans Harold Akey, Thomas McDonald and John Sheldrake will compete in the primary. The two winners from that contest will face Green Party candidate Fred Balzac, Democrat Chad Garcia and independent candidate Robert Segall this fall.

In Lewis, two seats are available. Republicans Lanita Canavan, Stephen Denton Jr. and Jeffrey Scott will face off for the open slot, with the two winners facing independent candidate Lawrence Hulbert in the general.

North Hudson has three Republican hopefuls vying for two available seats: Brian Caza, Stephanie DeZalia and Donald Dresser.

The winners will face Donald Langworthy (D) and Maureen Marsden, an independent, in the general election.

TOWN COUNCIL: ENTER THE INDIES A flush of independent town council candidates has fleshed out the ranks in several communities.

In Elizabethtown, Ben Morris and Jeff Allott are running for the pair of available seats. Without opposition, and barring a successful write-in candidate, Morris will retain his seat and Allott will join him.

Two candidates are running to fill the two open slots in Newcomb: Democrat Joseph Novak is now joined by independent David Olbert.

Four independent candidates are running in Essex for two available seats: Jay White, Jonathan Pribble, Thomas Stransky and James LaForest, who sat on the board before resigning in Nov. 2012.

All four entered the race after the deadline for partisan entries passed in July.

In North Elba, Republican candidate Jay Rand Jr. now has two independent challengers seeking two available seats: Travis Isham and Francis Miller.

Two seats are open in Chesterfield. Joseph Kusalonis has filed to run as an independent, joining Republicans Russell Blaise and David Gload alongside John Casey, the Independence Party candidate.

In Schroon, Marcia Hartnett has joined the race as an independent and will compete against Republicans Clara Phibbs and Don Sage in the quest for two available seats.

would be very shallow and the ice could freeze to the bottom of the river causing flooding in the spring. The problem does occur in the other rivers in the Adirondacks and ice buildup as in other rivers. Also if dam was out the lamprey eel could go up stream and do a lot of damage to the wild life of other streams that feed the Boquet River. It’s my understanding that very little study was done on my concerns and the present board of Lane Sayward, Steven Benway, Charles Lustig. Lori Sheehan and Shaun Gilliland rescinded or ignored the 2013 resolution. A resolution to take the dam was passed.

Edward Hatch Willsboro TOWN COUNCIL: PARTISAN RACES No independents have filed in St. Armand, where Donald Amell (D) faces Karen Dekkers and Dean Montroy, both Republican newcomers.

In Westport, hopefuls Barry Morrison and Timothy Sherman, both Republicans, will compete alongside incumbent Nancy Sherman, a Democrat, for two available seats this fall.

In Willsboro, newcomers John Drinkwine (D) and Dean Caveney, a Republican, join incumbents Steven Benway and Lane Sayward, both Republicans, in the race for two available seats.

Six towns do not have competitive races this year.

Challengers have not stepped forward in Crown Point, Keene, Minerva and Wilmington, while single candidates in Moriah and Ticonderoga will fill single seats that are slated to be vacated.

OTHER RACES Just one town clerk in Essex County faces opposition.

In Chesterfield, Bruce Bourgeois (D) faces a challenge from Allan Hachigian, a Republican.

Most town justices will also be cruising down easy street this year, with only three towns seeing races.

In Crown Point, Marjorie Hurlbert will run against incumbent Arthur Miclette. Both are Republicans.

North Elba will see William Hulshoff (R) and John Knox (D) challenging incumbents Dean Dietrich and James Rogers III. In Westport, incumbent William LaHendro will face challenger Richard Nicholas for the seat that was vacated by Ike Tyler earlier this year upon the decision to run for supervisor.

Westport is exploring the idea of eliminating one justice position as a costsaving measure. Residents have 30 days from the last board meeting, which was Aug. 27, to collect signatures for a permissive referendum. If organizers are successful, then voters will decide at the polls this fall.

Two assessors will face challenges. In Essex, Anita Shapiro (D) is running against Republican incumbent David Sayre. In Minerva, Jeremy Hitchcock is running for an available slot against incumbents Bruce Hammond and Philip Johnston.

HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENTS In Chesterfield, Darwin Nolan will mount a Republican primary challenge to Philip Pray.

In Lewis, Kevin Denton and Herb Clark, both Republicans, are running to fill an unexpired term.

All of those candidates have also filed as independents except for Herb Clark. North Elba’s Larry Straight (R) will see a challenge from Gary Kaltenbach, an independent.

The most competitive race is in Ticonderoga, where the town will see two Republicans, Paul Sharkey and David Iuliano, facing off in a primary for the highway superintendent slot. The winner will face Dennis Hunsdon, Sr. (D) and independent candidates Salvatore Barnao and Pamela Savage this fall COUNTYWIDE Two countywide officials are up for reelection this fall.

Essex County Judge Richard Meyer will face a challenge on the Conservative Party line from Brian Barrett, the Lake Placid defense attorney who is also running on the Democratic line, on Sept. 10.

Essex County Clerk Joe Provoncha is facing a challenge from Luke Hudak, a first-time candidate who is running as a Democrat.

lose your eyes and picture your favorite old barn and silo. Where are they?

As we sat on our back deck along the river a few days ago, Kaye and I sipped coffee and opined about that very subject.

When it’s time to write this column, I beg my muses for inspiration. In this case, a friend posted a photo of a charming wooden barn and sagging silo on a social site and it set my mind to whirling. Kaye’s, too.

She was instantly transported to a wonderfully weathered wooden structure off State Route 3 on the Goldsmith Road. I have passed it numerous times and snapped photographs, but the picture in my mind is indelible. There are many more. My favorites are in St. Lawrence County where those once flourishing dairy farms are now empty, decrepit and moldering.

I’m glad and sad, happy remembering what used to be, but not so much for the fact that many once burgeoning farms are now abandoned and crumbling.

We love to drive around and look for such places.

Kaye and I stop and try to imagine a bustling family heading out to do the morning chores; milking 35 or 40 head of Holsteins by hand; dumping pails of raw milk into cans and hoisting them into the cooler.

Kaye’s memories take her back to what was known as “the Gale” in Jericho, now the home of a local YMCA Day Camp. The house is gone, but the beautiful old barn is still there welcoming laughing youngsters every summer day. I am transported back in time to the early1950s when I worked for Dave Hilts outside Moira in Franklin County. We used the old horse to hoist loose hay from the wagon and pulled the trip rope to deposit it in the mow; then sweating to climb up and “mow it away” with a pitch fork.

We have marveled at stone barns, round barns, pole barns and many more.

We love one on Cape Cod that houses antique cars and another surrounding a carousel. We recall seeing Amish barns in many places. We have visited the wellkept barns on the Hearts Delight Miner Farm in Chazy.

We especially enjoy stopping by some ancient wreck of a barn and imagining what it was like in its glory days.

Bless those of you who have an old barn you have repurposed to hold your collection of antiques or arrowheads or paintings or whatever. And bless those of you who paint and photograph the old barns for us to enjoy in perpetuity.

The Escape << Continued from | p. 1

This exhibit examines the community members, significant locations and media presence surrounding the prison break shown in 32 enlarged photographs in order to give people a sense that they’re there.

“The larger the painting, the more you can actually stuff into it,” said Christina Elliot, gallery and museum coordinator for SCA. “It really engulfs all of your vision and it becomes entirely what you see and you can really immerse yourself in that.”

The enlarged photos showcase a controversial event that not only affected the local community, but captured the attention of the entire nation.

“What I was seeing was not on the news,” Battinelli said. “To see the things that went on behind the scenes will stay with me forever.”

FOLLOWING ESCAPEES When Battinelli first heard about the search, he believed they would be caught right away. After a few days, he thought they had escaped to Mexico. A week later, his intuition led him to believe they were still in the area.

Once he drew this conclusion, he jumped in his car and immersed himself into search by integrating himself into the news organizations, following state troopers and venturing into the woods when Matt and Sweat were still on the loose.

www.suncommunitynews.com

He also tracked down the trailer Matt supposedly spent his last night in — an experience he described as exciting and nerve wracking.

“I wanted to capture people who lived outside the manhole and the prison and the chaos of the news,” Battinelli said. “I was gathering a sense of what these inmates were going through and what the law enforcement was going through.”

The two things Battinelli tried to capture, which he hopes to capture in the future, are portraits of Lyle Mitchell, the husband of Joyce Mitchell, and Sergeant Jay Cook, the officer who shot Sweat.

SECOND EXHIBIT The main gallery exhibit will feature drawings by artist Kimberly Berg and sculptural pieces by jeweler Christian Rodriguez.

Both exhibits in the main and community galleries will be on view until Oct. 2. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information on these exhibits, upcoming events, concerts or classes at SCA, call 518-563-1604 or visit www.plattsburgharts.org.

“Even just months after the event, we can look back and say ‘wow,’” Elliot said. “This kind of documentary photography is really saying something about our situations and the cultural and political atmosphere of the situation on a local and national level.”

OBITUARIES

MarjorieÊ ElizabethÊ BehaÊ Lopez Marjorie Elizabeth Beha Lopez died peacefully on Sunday August 30, 2015 with family by her side. She was the oldest of four children born November 7, 1923 in West Leyden NY. She graduated from Cornell University where she met her husband, Robert Lopez. They relocated to Westport NY, determined to establish a veterinary practice and have a large family.

They succeeded in both.

While raising her ever-growing family and assisting with the veterinary practice, Marjorie supervised the local SPCA, which was founded by her and Doc; she was the president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the New York State Veterinary Medical Society and an active High Peaks Audubon, Democratic Party and Garden Club member. She was an avid cross country skier, sang and played piano, was a voracious reader and crossword lover to her very last days. Twelve of her fourteen children were born at home, with Bob in attendance for most of the births. Marjorie’s home was always welcoming with her twinkling bright blue eyes, fresh baked goods, stimulating conversation, and acceptance for all.

EYE ON THE ARTS

LINDA DOLLY

> Arts Editor

linda@suncommunitynews.com

I

spy with my little eye the creations of Cat Micheels and Catherine Hartung.

In their abstract art exhibit, Micheels and Hartung use paint to express ideas, and concepts.

Using what they refer to as their “other eye” the artists say they reveal part of their inner selves in their artwork.

Any flexible thinkers who wish to take a peek at the exhibit should visit NorthWind Fine Arts, located at 11 Woodruff Street in Saranac Lake. The opening reception is 5-7 p.m. on Sept. 4.

For more details call 518-9541875 or send them an email at northwindfinearts@ gmail.com.

The movie, “46ers,” will have it’s premier public viewing at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, on Friday September 4th, at 7:00 p.m.. Admission is $10. Additional information can be obtained by calling 523-2512.

Battinelli’s Shots of the Dannemora Prison Escape Damian Battinelli’s newest photography exhibit, “The Escape,” documents the daring escape of two convicts who broke out of the Clinton Correctional Facility. The show examines community members, significant locations and the media presence surrounding the 2015 prison break in Dannemora, New York.

The exhibit can be viewed at The Strand Center for the Arts at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh, from Sept. 4 to Oct. 2. The opening reception on Friday, Sept. 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. is free and open to the public. For additional information, call 518563-1604 or visit www.plattsburgharts.org.

Screening of “46ers”

Hidden History Tour

If you are one of those inquisitive, curious souls, then the Hidden History Tour is for you. Take a ride to the Adirondack Museum on Blue Mountain Lake; in exchange for a small sum, you will be given passage to their Collection Storage and Study Center.

The staff will send a curator with you, to answer questions that might otherwise keep someone up at night. The museum is located on Routes 28N & 30 in Blue Mountain Lake. The “Vaults” will open on Saturday and Sunday, Septe. 12 and 13. Tours are held approximately every 30 minutes, each taking on a separate journey with historic artifacts of the Adirondacks. You can take one, or all of tours. Go to adkmuseum.org to check out the schedule or call 518.352.73 for more information.

Battle of Plattsburgh

The 199th anniversary of the Battle of Plattsburgh, a significant turning point in the War of 1812, will be commemorated with activities every day from Sept. 6-15. Included in the list of events are an encampment on the Kent Delord grounds, a reenactment of a street battle, hands-on crafts for children, a parade, fireworks and the list goes on. To see the full schedule of activities, go to our website at www.suncommunitynews.com.

Any of the above activities, or those on our printed or online calendar will be an amazing way to top off your summer. This is Linda Dolly, and you have my word on it.

Another documentary, “The 46ers,” will be shown in an exclusive public screening at The Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA). The film’s Director, Blake Cortright, will be on hand to give a behind the scenes look into making this documentary about the people who hike the 46 Adirondack High Peaks.

The first 46ers, Herbert Clark — along with brothers Robert and George Marshall — identified 46 mountains in Upstate New York with an elevation of 4,000 feet or higher. Between 1918 and 1925 they hiked to the summits of all 46 peaks. Since then, m o r e than 8,000 people have followed in their footsteps. Although subsequent surveys have found that four of these peaks are less than 4,000 feet, these original 46 remain the basis for becoming a 46er.

The film contains compelling stories, both humorous and heartrending, of

ordinary men and women who have done the extraordinary.

Tim Singer, 46er #1038, explained what climbing the mountains mean to him: “On top of a mountain, it’s too simple to say you’re a kid again, because it’s not that simple,” he said. “You’re just more yourself, you’re the real you and you just like life a lot more.”

This movie, filmed in the backyards of North Country residents, intertwines the beautiful scenery of our Adirondack Mountains with compelling stories.

If you would like to view Blake Cortright’s feature film, hike over to The Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA), 17 Algonquin Drive, Lake Placid, New York.

The show starts at 7 p.m. on Sept 4. Tickets are $10 and are available by calling 518-523-2512 or can be purchased online at www.lakeplacidarts.com. More information about the documentary can be found on the project’s website, the46ersfilm.com.

North Country SPCA Kathy Wilcox

> Columnist

rollerprincessfrog@yahoo.com

T

he North Country SPCA is always looking at finding new and creative ways that we can help our furry friends. We recently became a proud member of Partner for Pets! Bissell and lostpetsusa.net have teamed up to help organizations like ours raise money, and now you can help too. When you purchase pet products on bissell.com and enter the code ADOPT at checkout, a portion of your purchase will be donated to our organization! What a great way to contribute to a wonderful cause while purchasing something you already need for your own pets. We hope you check out their website and take advantage of this partnership.

Our featured pet this week is Candi, a Candi Domestic Shorthair-mix with a lovely tabby coat and the most engaging golden-green eyes, she looks like a purr-fect model! Candi was pregnant when she came to us, and wasn’t able to go to a forever home until her kittens were born and old enough to leave their mama.

Her kittens have all now been adopted into homes, and Candi is hoping to find a family of her own. She is a really sweet and fun-loving little lady, and we know she will make someone a wonderful companion. Why not stop by and meet her today?

Champlain Area Trails (CATS) will present “On the Trail to the Monitor,” led by local historian Morris Glenn on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. For this event, Glenn will lead a short hike beginning at the Penfield Museum, 703 Creek Rd., in Crown Point. Participants will follow a short, easy, and beautiful halfmile route along the Old Ironville Road and Penfield Pond Trails as he presents information on the history of the area and the USS Monitor. The Monitor was the first ironclad warship commissioned by the Union Navy during the American Civil War and played an important role in defeating the Confederates. The hike will end back at the Penfield Museum where participants are invited to bring a packed lunch and enjoy lunch together on the picnic tables outside the museum.
