Short-term rentals, longterm problems Lake Placid struggles to come to grips with a new form of lodging By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

LAKE PLACID | Long-time Lake Placid residents turned out at a public hearing last week in defense of traditional neighborhoods and a small-town way of life that they said are being swallowed up and destroyed by short-term rental properties with their noisy parties an overflow of cars. At the same time, an equal number of people defended the rental properties, saying that it’s the way people want to travel these days, and to restrict them would be tantamount to driving away the lucrative tourist trade. The boards of Lake Placid and North Elba have recognized the problem, and drawn up regulations that, depending on who was speaking, was either too tight or not tight enough.

About 200 residents turned out at a public hearing last week to voice complaints or defenses of short-term rental properties.

Elizabethtown wins $250K grant for recreation infrastructure Proceeds will help add hub, signage for bike/ hike/ski/shoeshoe trail systems By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

Trail maps show evolving multi-use trails behind Cobble Hill Golf Course in Elizabethtown. Photo by Kim Dedam

ELIZABETHTOWN |A $250,000 federal grant will help map and connect varied recreation trail systems in Elizabethtown. Local planners intend to site and build six kiosks and related signs for various pockets of bike, hike, ski and snowshoe trails areas already in place here. They won grant monies from the Northern Border Regional Commission, a federal economic development project that supports recreation infrastructure.

Though not formally named, an Elizabethtown “greenway” would connect trails at Blueberry Hill to trails above and behind the Cobble Hill Golf Course to Otis Mountain and spurs that circumnavigate town to a central hub. Trails have been works-in-progress through volunteer and town crew efforts for many years, accommodating new snowshoe and crosscountry access points in winter and mountain bike and hike or walking paths in summer. Year-round access is an important part of the project. It would also support the emerging mountain bike program at Boquet Valley Central School. Elizabethtown Councilman Jeff Allott and local business owner Aaron Woolf secured the grant with letters of support from New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. The goal isn’t a destination brand, per se. “This is about affecting a subtle change,” Allott told the Sun in a recent interview. See RECREATION TRAILS » pg. 3

Town of Essex deals with phone outages LEWIS TOWN COUNCIL Verizon assures CONSIDERS REQUEST issue will be FOR ‘MOUNT INEZ’ resolved in early September

By Laura Achouatte STAFF WRITER

ESSEX | The Town of Essex has been experiencing phone service issues in recent weeks that have resulted in several residents without phone service for an extended

duration of time. This situation caused concern in Lewis Family Farms’ Sandy Lewis, who sent an email to Betty Little’s office; he’s hoping for some more immediate action and wants to bring attention to the “crisis.” “We had a bit of sunshine late yesterday. Half the farm had service. This morning it was black. No service tonight. A top Verizon tech manager spoke. Good man... He said he was told by Albany that the new replacement machine will arrive September 6th... in Plattsburgh. Land line service to hundreds

of elderly without cell phones will return, perhaps, two days later. That’s what it takes to wire up the new technology. Verizon, NYC and Albany must hate the North Country. Help...” Many residents are without any connection to the outside world and rely on landline service in the area. Of the approximately 670 persons that live in Essex, a large portion are elderly and cut off from calling 911 services if a medical event were to arise. On the phone, Lewis stated, “I have a neighbor in her 90s and she can’t call out to anyone. It’s awful!” Verizon is the service provider in the area. Essex Councilman Ken Hughes commented that he had the opportunity to stop and talk to a 30-year Verizon veteran from the Tri-Lakes area, tasked to come down to Whallonsburg and get the telephone issues resolved. “It was a disastrous mess in this node off of Whallons Bay Road,” said Hughes. “Mice infestation, broken exhaust fans (these devices generate tremendous amounts of heat), cards with burnt out sections, huge amount of dust, dirt and debris as well as malfunctioning redundancy systems that have all caused the failure of landline telephone service. Apparently the top was left open to exhaust the heat, which allowed for rodent infestation and potential moisture.

Adirondack Health Foundation Summer Garden Gala raised $112,000 LAKE PLACID| The Adirondack Health Foundation announced that their annual summer gala, held last month, raised $112,000 for the women’s health program. “An incredible organizing committee of 47 board, community and staff volunteers worked magic to create an evening to remember,” said Hannah Hanford,

as well as an ultrasound machine for the women’s health program. Earlier this year, Adirondack Health invested in a 3D mammography scanner for its medical imaging department. During dinner, Linda McClarigan, Adirondack Health’s recently retired chief nursing officer, was honored with the 2019 Dr. Edward L. Trudeau award. This year’s summer garden theme was a nod to McClarigan’s love of gardening. Plans are now underway for next year’s gala, to be held on July 11, 2020. ■

EARLY PRESS ON A NAME CHANGE

LEWIS | On Sept. 10, the Lewis Town Council will consider filing an official request to rename Mount Discovery as Mount Inez. The small, pointed peak reaches some 1,552 feet above Lewis. The stoney summit was the pinnacle owned by John Milholland as part of his 1,000-acre farm in Lewis a century ago. After his daughter Inez Milholland Boissevain died at age 30 in 1916, he did name the mountain after her. But this monumental tribute to his famed daughter, an attorney and suffragist, was not codified at the federal level. Still, Inez Milholland Boissevain became a national icon for causes of social justice and women’s equality. The historic “unfinished” business was brought to the town by Lewis resident Nancy Duff Campbell, who has reached out for local support to complete the official process. Campbell looks to finish Milholland’s task by 2020, the centennial of women’s voting rights in America. “I’ve done much research on the history,” Campbell told the Sun as she prepared to meet with Lewis Town Historian Jean White Dickerson. “There is some confusion about what took place after John Milholland changed the name. The town did agree with him, but it was not officially renamed through the U.S. Department of the Interior.” It is not clear what application process was in place at that time, Dickerson said. But a formal request now requires a form submitted to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN), a federal agency created in 1890 that works in conjunction with the U.S. Department of the Interior. The New York State Committee on Geographic Names also requires notification. Campbell found citation where BGN mentions Mt. Inez as a variant of the place named Mt. Discovery. The reference exists in data compiled on 23 Jan., 1980. “I’m not sure if any formal application was made in 1916 or 1917,” Campbell said of John Milholland’s tribute to his daughter.

In the Elizabethtown Post, Dec. 7, 1916, much of the front page recounts the funeral procession and burial of Inez Milholland Boissevain with full text of remarks and prayers given that day. A brief paragraph with the story introduces a new name for Mount Discovery: Mount Inez. It said: “Inez Milholland-Boissevain will have a monument made by the hand of man but she has one already fashioned by God in Nature and in changing the name “Discovery” -- which means little to this generation whatever significance it ever possessed -to ‘Mount Inez,’ something has been done in the right direction that we believe all our people will approve and unanimously carry out.” Written references and press for a name change repeated periodically in the century since John Milholland renamed the overlook on his lands. In the Valley News, 12 Sept., 1984, an opinion piece initialed R.F.H, who was likely Rob Hall, a writer and typesetter for the Valley News, who later went on to own several newspapers in the Lake George region, according to historian Margaret Bartley. Hall poses the quest again: “Today, with the growing recognition of women’s role in all facets of life, it is appropriate to remember Inez Milholland. If some one can tell us who is in charge of naming mountains in New York State (are you listening, governor??) we suggest that the word go out that this mountain on the Elizabethtown-Lewis line shall now and forever be known as Mount Inez.” ■

“But because the BGN recognizes that the town did this, we’d like to make it official.” The mountain is part of Bunting family land holdings in Lewis today, and Campbell has obtained written consent from the family to formally affect the change: “As the landowner, we support this.” In addition to town approval, input from residents would be gathered in a 30-day public comment period if the Town Council approves the measure. Campbell has sought and found support from state and federal officials. New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has offered to write a

Inez Milholland Boissevain/Vassar College History

letter of support. Gillibrand also offered a to submit a bill to Congress to achieve the goal. NY21 Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has offered her letter of support, Campbell said. And state Sen. Betty Little has also offered to champion the effort. “Senator Little is Essex County’s representative on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s New York Women’s Suffrage Commission board, helping coordinate celebrations for suffrage history in 2020,” Campbell said. Campbell made an initial presentation of Mt. Inez history to the Lewis Town Council in August. Context for the effort is drawn from Milholland records and early news reports. Official town records from the era no longer exist, however, due to loss by fire and flood. “I would characterize the response to this effort as enthusiastic,” Campbell said. “It’s been tremendously exciting.” The Lewis Town Council will discuss seeking approval to formally name Mount Inez at their Sept. 10. The meeting is at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall. ■

“All of the existing assets at Blueberry or at Cobble Hill are somewhat hidden, not visible to someone who drives down Court Street. The infrastructure grant will help us connect the central business district with the trail systems. We see this as a step toward branding Elizabethtown as a recreational community, a welcome place to live. “We’ve picked some very visible components to connect,” Allott said. A central hub could provide trail maps, possibly a rest stop for bikers or hikers or skiers and a place to tune gear or charge phones. Volunteer trail crews have expanded singletrack mountain bike and walking paths behind the town-owned Cobble Hill Golf Course. Elizabethtown Town Councilman Jeff Allott, founder of Solace Cycles, discusses a plan to connect multi-use trails around Elizabethtown to one central hub. These trails support snowshoes or crosscountry skiing in winter. “We’ve developed trail systems over the past 10 years with tons of enthusiasm and tons of volunteerism,” Allott explained. “We’re looking “The enthusiasm for toward a new biking is really putting understanding E’town on the map in a new of how to build and exciting way.

The mood of the meeting — which attracted nearly 200 people — was civil, but with a discernible edge. At times it appeared that a consensus could be reached, and at times it didn’t. It’s an issue with almost too many angles and exceptions to count. At one end of the short-term rentals are companies that rent massive houses to as many as 22 people at a time. At the other was a woman who said that, when she hit a rough patch, she would have lost her home had she not been able to rent out a room. In answer to a complaint of loud noise, one short-termrental caretaker said he arrived in the middle of the night to find a room full of strippers and a gaggle of drunken, beefy guys who did not look as if they would take kindly to an interruption in the entertainment.

And even as Lake Placid moves forward with regulations, it is being watched by other Essex County locales that are experiencing similar problems, although not on as large a scale. Short-term rentals are not new, but they caught fire with the emergence of Airbnb and other online brokerages that handle the details for people wishing to rent out their homes on a nightly basis, generally to tourists. At least that’s how it started. Now, the movement has gone corporate, with houses being purchased and fixed up en masse specifically as alternatives to hotels.

up housing values to the point they are no longer affordable to middle class families. And they questioned how these businesses could be legally located in neighborhoods zoned residential. The companies counter that, largely because of taxes, the homes weren’t affordable to middle class families to begin with. And by fi xing up the properties they are actually saving big homes from potential abandonment and decay. Lake Placid is also a victim of its success in attracting major events of national appeal, such as its horse show and Ironman competitions. These have bumped up the number of people seeking lodging, and they are of a demographic, short-term renters say, that prefers homes to hotels. One point all were in agreement on is that Lake Placid is changing, and does not have the same feel that it did 20 or 30 years ago. “When we would walk down Main Street we used to know everyone,” said resident Don Scammell. “Now we know no one.” ■

New York license plates controversies

www.suncommunitynews.com

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Opinion

suncommunitynews.com/opinions

By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER

We heard last week the state is rolling out a new plan for re-plating our motor vehicles. Every action taken by the state will always be faced with an equal and opposite reaction by others. In the past, when a new plate design was issued, the previous model was cycled out over the next renewal period. Unfortunately, the poor choice of design was so highly criticized, that the state allowed drivers to retain the more attractive blue and white plates of the previous version, over the bland blue and yellow-gold plates issued in 2010. Move forward ten years, and it’s now time to vote for a new design. This time the state has chosen to get the public involved asking for their vote on five different design choices by going to governor.ny.gov/news/ governor-cuomo-launches-statewide-survey-allowing-new-yorkers-choose-statesnew-license-plate. The reason for the new plate re-design other than the ten-year life expectancy is to optimize the reflectiveness of the plates for cashlesstolling on the state’s Thruway system. Of course, anytime the state wants to ask us a question, we better be prepared for what that request will cost us in the long run. The Depar tment of Motor Vehicles announced plans to charge drivers $25 for the new plates, the maximum allowed under state law. If you want to keep your existing plate number, on the new design, it’s an additional $20. This change will generate approximately $75 million in revenue from NYS taxpayers. A leading critic of the plan, Senator James Tedisco from Schenectady County, thinks the Governor is using this opportunity to dig a little deeper into our pockets than is necessary. The Senator believes it will cost the state about $1.15 to make each plate. New legislation drafted back in 2009 that allowed the rate change which had been no more than $15, was changed to read, “ not to exceed $25”. Also, in play in this controversy is an increase in prison labor rates currently paying up to $1.14 per hour. The Governor supports an increase in wages for the prisoners who haven’t had an adjustment since his father was in office. The current proposal for prisoners is a $3 minimum wage. Something as simple as a new colorful license plate provides us with a ton of controversy to get fired up about. You have your choice of being a critic or supporter of design, spending, prison wages, political posturing with creative use of language in legislation or you can just ignore the whole mess and enjoy looking at out of state plates and comparing them to ours as you motor through life. ■ — Dan Alexander is the publisher of the Sun Community News

Inaccurate statement

Dialysis clinic needed

To the Editor: The article “State Appeals Trail Ruling” reports on the appeals by state agencies and Protect the Adirondacks of a July 3 decision by the Appellate Division, Third Department. The court found two things: cutting of over 25,000 trees of all sizes by state agencies to build a network of class II snowmobile trails violated Article 14, Section 1, the famed “forever wild” provision, of the NYS Constitution; and that the methods used by state agencies to alter Forest Preserve lands within class II trail corridors did not violate the state constitution. The state is appealing the first part and Protect the Adirondacks is appealing the second. The article is an accurate report on the appeals underway, but it includes one inaccurate statement, “Supervisors also said they had been promised by all stakeholders that the trail would be built following a significant transfer of former timberland to the state.” The statement alleges bad faith on the part of some “stakeholders.” There are many stakeholders in the 3-millionacre public Forest Preserve in the Adirondacks and the Catskills. This is the people’s land and more than 19 million New Yorkers pay taxes on these lands, fund their management, paid to buy them, and have a stake in their future. The Forest Preserve has a proud multi-generational, bipartisan, 125-year history. Protect the Adirondacks launched its lawsuit in April 2013. Any agreement where promises were made around the deeply flawed classification of the Essex Chain Lake tract happened in Fall 2013. PROTECT was not part of that process because we believed that state management plans for the Forest Preserve not only violated Article 14, but also violated the NYS Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers Act. We kept our promise to our members to defend the Forest Preserve and the rule of law. — Peter Bauer, North Creek ■

To the Editor: This past June, the state’s highest court dealt a heavy blow to election transparency. For years, New Yorkers have been able to request, via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), electronic copies of ballot scans from their local Board of Elections. These images have absolutely no voter-identifying information on them but are critical to assessing the performance and integrity of voting machines as well as for studying voting patterns. Unlike paper ballots which must be held in a lockbox for two years ballot images can be freely copied and shared without any risk of tampering. In 2015, I requested the ballot images from the General Election, only to be rebuffed by Essex County, despite the fact they released them the year before. They claimed that Election Law § 3-222, which governs “Preservation of ballots and records of voting machines” prohibits their release. I sued and won at the Supreme Court and the Appellate Division levels, before the Court of Appeals, in a narrow 4-3 decision, saw fit to undermine public access to election data. Despite Judge Fahey’s bold assertion at oral argument that “truth does not undermine anything,” he and three other members of the court held that finality of elections was more important than transparency. As a result, New Yorkers must now wait two years from an election to request the images, once the statute allows the paper ballots to be disclosed. I finally have images, but it should never have taken this long to get them. It is incumbent upon the legislature to fix this grave error and restore public access to election results. — Bethany Kosmider, Crown Point ■ See LETTERS » pg. 5

The legislature must restore election transparency

To the Editor: I believe I am the only person in the Ticonderoga area doing “Home Hemo Dialysis”! Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are available to people with kidney failure but many residents of the Ti area have to travel to Glens Falls, Elizabethtown or Plattsburgh to get dialysis. To do home dialysis it takes at least two people, in my case my wife and I. We trained on a home dialysis machine for almost four months before we started at our home. Peritoneal dialysis can be done at home by the patient in certain cases, but it is not as effective as hemodialysis. The hospital in Ti has gone through a rebirth and one has to wonder why they don’t provide dialysis for the residents of Ti and surrounding areas! I believe our Town Supervisor and board members should ask the University of Vermont Health Network, better known as CVPH, why there is not a dialysis clinic in the newly modernized Moses Ludington Hospital! I am sending this letter to Dr. John Brumsted the CEO asking him to look into this matter. People on dialysis need help as driving to Glens Falls, Elizabethtown or Plattsburgh can be exhausting, and they have to drive back after treatment which in some cases is not possible as Dialysis can take a lot out of a person. I would ask that a “petition” be circulated in Ti and surrounding area asking for a clinic at Moses Ludington! It is the responsibility of our Town Supervisor and Board to care for the residents and this is a good place for them to start! There are enough dialysis patients to justify a Clinic and with a little help from our legislators this could happen. Perhaps the Town Secretary could type up a petition and those seeking to remain in office could present it to our residents! — Gary Philip Guido, Ticonderoga ■

COLUMNIST

Our very handsome boy Phoenix is a 5-yearold caramel and white pit bull. He and his sister, Renata, came to the shelter thin and hungry after some very hard times. We don’t know much about their background, but like the mythological bird he was named for, Phoenix has risen from the ashes of his past life to start anew. P h o e n i x ’s love for people r uns deep, despite what he has been though. This is a dog who loves human snuggles and attention. Phoenix However, we do not know how he’d deal with young kids, as he hasn’t had experience with them. With the exception of his dear doggie sister, Renata, Phoenix is not a fan of other pets. Since coming to the shelter, he’s made some truly great strides in his progress, but is slow to learn how to deal other dogs. Being in close proximity with so many other dogs that come and go, Phoenix feels the need to be defensive of his room and territory. We use a halter along with his collar and leash when walking Phoenix out in areas where he could come into contact with other dogs, just to be as cautious as possible. We are hoping that once he’s out of the slightly chaotic shelter environment and has had plenty of time getting used to being the king of his new home, that under the right circumstances Phoenix could have a positive meet and greet with a female dog and may eventually be able to accept them into his home.

themselves, to do otherwise, again, a felony. We have background checks and they are federal, but if those who lie on the form aren’t prosecuted, or not followed up on, what good are more laws? You can Google the form for yourself, I wish more people would instead of blindly listening to politicians who would rather strip rights away from law abiding citizens while enjoying the protection of armed security when they go to work like in Albany or Washington D.C. We don’t need more gun laws, we need enforcement of what we have. Ask those in Albany or Schenectady where there are shootings almost daily if the Safe Act is working for them. Criminals seem to have no problem getting guns and they laugh at more laws being passed. It’s almost like pulling the teeth of the sheep that watched the others in their herd get eaten by the wolf so they can’t fight back. — David LaPell, Pottersville ■

Background checks required at gun shows

To the Editor: In the last few weeks I have seen a lot of press about background checks for gun purchases and how they’re needed, but what I don’t see is any reporting on how federal background checks are performed whenever a gun is bought at a gun shop or at a gun show. A form, called a 4473, is filled out and then the dealer calls the FBI, you know, Federal Bureau of Investigation and all the answers the buyer wrote down and their info is given to the FBI. If you lie on that form, it’s a felony. Questions asked include if the person was ever committed to a mental institution, criminal history, etc. There’s also a question if the person buying is buying the gun for

Once in the play yard, Phoenix is left off his leash and halter and loves having the run of the play yard. He doesn’t play fetch, but he does love to chase the ball. While he loves to play, Phoenix prefers to keep his ‘feathers’ dry and out of the pool. Some of our volunteers have taken Phoenix hiking and have said that he loves his time outside, though he does have a tendency to pull you behind in his wake. When meeting other dogs out on the trail, Phoenix is very interested in other dogs and will try to get near them, but when given a wide berth he does ok and will get back to focusing on the hike. Phoenix is an observant boy, who is smart and very food oriented, all which are good sig ns when training a dog. We think that when there are fewer distractions from other animals that Phoenix will be able to learn his manners fast. Save the date for our annual Mutt Strut! This 5K fun run/walk will take place on Sept. 22, 2019, at 10 a.m. at the Olympic Speed Skating Oval in Lake Placid. Come and strut your mutt around mirror lake at this great event that benefits both the North Country SPCA and the Tri-Lakes Humane Society! Don’t have a mutt of your own?

Willsboro seeks public input on ‘the Keeping of Cats’ to answer questions from concerned residents. The proposed Keeping of Cats law is result of the ongoing discussion.

PROPOSED REGULATION OF CATS IN WILLSBORO

Photos/public domain

Regulation looks to address feral cat, outdoor cat problem viewed as public health concern By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

WILLSBORO |Town officials here seek input on a law they’ve drafted to Regulate the Keeping of Cats. The law, number 1 for 2019, says that the “Town of Willsboro finds that the running at large and other uncontrolled behavior of cats, including domestic, community and feral, within the Town of Willsboro has caused a nuisance to persons and damage to property. “Harboring large numbers of cats, unhealthy cats, unspayed, un-neutered and un-vaccinated cats has created a threat to public health and safety within the Town.” The goal of the new regulation, as written, is to “protect the health, safety and well-being of persons and property within Willsboro by imposing restrictions and regulations upon the keeping and running at large of cats.”

The problem has been discussed in Town Council meetings and at information sessions for months, brought to the board’s attention by residents of Maple Street and Buena Vista Park, among other parts of town that have colonies of feral cats. Town consult with local animal shelter personnel, veterinarians and Essex County Sheriff’s Department officials provided no immediate solution, since feeding feral cats and any efforts to remove them is not regulated by current law. Willsboro has a dog control officer, but no animal control officer, according to records from town council meetings, thus negating resources to control cats. At meetings and in online discussion, residents describe damage to property despite steps they have taken to obtain care for feral cats. Some people have incurred costs of veterinary care for free roaming cats, but say the population is beyond control. Property damage reports include: defiling barns and sheds; destruction of windows and roofing and other access points as feral cats try to find shelter; despoiling outdoor decking with feces and urine; and defiling private yard and lawn areas, which residents say poses a threat to domestic pets, since feral cats can spread disease. The town held a public information session in June with sheriff’s department personnel and a veterinarian available

If approved, the law would make identification of all outdoor cats mandatory, requiring feline pets to wear a collar with the owner’s name, telephone number and address, or use of an implanted microchip. The law would require “every free roaming cat owner to provide to authorities a certificate of spay/neuter and/or a rabies vaccination certificate on reasonable demand.” The law would make feeding cats outdoors illegal. The law would make it illegal for any cat owner in Willsboro to allow their cat to “cause nuisance to any person other than the owner or person harboring such cat ... (to) include defecation on another’s property, any damage or destruction to property, or any nuisance upon or near the premises of a person other than the owner.” The law also says that any cat running at large within the Town of Willsboro would be subject to seizure and held until identified. Any cat seized under the new law would be “humanely fed and cared for during seizure period, and shall be handled in accordance with the relevant provision of the Agriculture and Markets Law.” Town Supervisor Shaun Gillilland did not respond to a request by the Sun for comment on steps in the process. But public records show the law was vetted by attorneys. Language proposed exempts the town and its officers for any “damages or otherwise for the seizure, detention, adoption or euthanizing of any cat found without appropriate identification outside the residence of the owner,” as long as town actions comply with Ag and Markets law. A fine of $150 is proposed for a first offense against Keeping of Cats law, with a fine of $250 for any second offense, then $500 for each offense thereafter.

growing towards the sun. Linda’s steady light touched the lives of many children and their families through her 35 year career as a licensed clinical social worker. Among the significant personal connections she cultivated, Linda was rooted in a women’s group of life-long friendships, and in her retirement, shared her love of reading with a supportive book club. With unshakable commitment to her closest loved ones, Linda, oldest daughter of the late James and Joan (Sally) Munro, was a source of guidance, comfort and inspiration as a wife, mother and sister. Linda is survived by her partner and best friend of 40 years, Hanns Meissner; her daughters Caitlin (Tafadzwa Chiriga) and Lindsay; and her close-knit siblings, Dave (Eileen Hoffman), Laurie (Steve Betterley) and Lesley (Dave Michelich) Munro. With a large extended family, Linda is also loved by many nieces, nephews, partners and children. A celebration of Linda’s life will take place at 2pm on September 15, 2019, the day after her 67th birthday, at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany, 405 Washington Ave, 12206. The M.

Griffins seek to take next step WESTPORT | For the past two seasons, the former ELW girls varsity soccer team has played for a Class D sectional championship. This year, as the newly formed Boquet Valley Griffins, they are aiming for more. With a solid core of returning players, the Griffi ns will be led this season by Paul Buehler, who guided the boys varsity team to the Class D state championship game in 2015 and eclipsed the 200 career win mark in 2016. This season, Buehler is fi lling in for coach Aubrey Pulsifer, who

Ella King

is on maternity leave. “We are hoping to continue this year with improving our skills and team cohesion,” said Buehler. Members of the Griffin roster include Annette Stephens, Maggie Ploufe, Analise Burdo, Ella King, LeAnna Costin, Sarah Chandler, Skylar Bisselle, Brianna Cornwright, Liz Poe, Elizabeth Hickey, Abby Monty, Olivia Hart, Thea Shaw, Ella Behm, Sadie Thompson, Alexis Baumann, Maddison Kirkby, Madalyn Liberi, Abbey Schwoebel, Grace Reynolds and Sydney Bisselle. ■

Senior leadership key for Griﬃns WESTPORT | Welcome to the Boquet Valley era. Still using the Griffin name, BVCS takes to the pitch this season led by a quartet of seniors who will look to lead a team with a strong core of underclassmen, as well. “We’re coming off of a strong performance in 2018 and looking to build off of that success,” said head coach Evan

George. “We’re anchored by seniors Arlo Halloran, Blake Liberi, Lucas Spilling and McKenzie Stephens who have racked up a lot of game experience over the past two season and who will be leading us on and off the field in 2019.” Aiden DeMuro and Odin Kohler also join the roster as seniors, while juniors include Et ha n Gra ha m, Spencer Jensen, Devin Meachem, Gary Negroni, Kaleb Pettit, Gavin Spilling

and Brandon Tromblee. The roster is bolstered by a solid sophomore class in Oakley Buehler, Jameson Fiegl. Aiden Lobdell, Brodie Lobdell, Hunter Meachem and Jon Howard. “I’m excited to see what these boys can put together this season as they have a huge amount of potential,” said George. ■ Pictured right: McKenzie Stephens

Patriot experience needed Pats hope determination to counter lack of depth gets them back to regionals CLINTONVILLE | The AuSable Valley varsity boys soccer team will have a core of returning players in 2019 who will need to use their experience to counter a shortfall in numbers this season. “With no new players and losing four seniors, we will be low on numbers,” said head coach Bruce Bourgeois. “We will see an increase in skill and confidence.” Alex Fournier will lead the attack for the Patriots, while Wyatt Hackett, Aiden Tallman and Wesley Tender in the midfield. Zane Moussa, Bailey Latrell, Matt Remillard and David Janisse will anchor the defense, while Zander McCabe will be in the net. B r ady L at t re l l , H ayde n Lowther, Alex Yeager, Ryan Hackett and Matt Hall will also be relied on for the Patriots. “ We a re look i ng for wa rd to a comp e t it ive s e a s on ,” Bourgeois said. ■

CLINTONVILLE | Last season, the AuSable Valley varsity girls soccer team was hitting on all cylinders at the end of the season, advancing to the Class C regional finals with a young yet talented roster of players. In fact, the Patriots are still young this season, but their goals remain loft y. “We are a very young but determined team,” said coach Lindsey Douglas. “We only graduated one senior from last year’s team and will continue to focus on maximum effort, being a good teammate, and having a positive attitude.” Emily Remillard will be the lone senior on the 2019 team, with a junior class which includes Hailey Bombard, Emma Crowningshield, Marlena Malskis, Jordyn Pelkey, Reanna Prentiss, Sophie Rennie, Koree Stillwell and Hailey Tender. Sophomores include Jillian Bezio and Jenna Stanley, while freshmen Brooklyn Douglas, Lilley Keyser, Kate Knapp and Lydia Bruno along with eighth grader Addie Stanley will round out the roster. All saw time on the varsity squad last season, who lost to eventual state champion Stillwater in the regional final. “We are excited for this new journey, and

Wyatt Hackett

Kate Knapp we are looking forward to a great season,” Douglas said. “We will strive to be better than last year and won’t stop until we achieve our goals to get better every day, improve our regular season record from last year, repeat as class C champions, win a regional game and make the final four. We have high goals and high expectations, but if we put in the work we are certainly capable of achieving our goals.” ■

Youth hopes to be served for Warriors WILLSBORO | The Willsboro varsity girls soccer team will have a young core of experienced players as they look to be competitive in Division III of the Northern Soccer League. “Although we have quite a few players returning, we are still a young team with three sophomores, five freshman and an eighth grader,” said first-year coach Chris Ford. “They are a hard working, intelligent group that has been dedicated to the preseason routine and expectations. Our primary goal is

to control what we can control and to get better everyday.” The Warriors return sophomore Jenna Ford, who was the top scorer in Section VII last season. The roster also includes Cleo Lobdell, Samantha Harrison, Desiree Cassavaugh, Lexi Nolette, Lilly Nolette, Kaili Bourdeau, Tekla Fine-Lease, Kyla Crowningshield, Bella Harrison, Kira Crowningshield, Arianna Frenier, Angelina Vasquez and Abigail Bruno. ■

Warriors set for new season WILLSBORO | The Warriors varsity boys soccer team will seek to continue their push to knock off Chazy from the top of the Class D mountain, starting with a strong regular season in hopes of returning to the sectional final game. “Our goal is to be competitive, work together, and improve during each game,” said coach Andrew Lee. “The team wants to give their best effort

during each match regardless of the outcome and we want to allow fewer goals to be scored on us this season than last season.” Lee said the team has good speed with a strong and experienced returning core players. “The players have a great work ethic and are putting forth a tremendous amount of effort,” said Lee. “Everyone must understand their positioning throughout each game and work on communication throughout each game.” Members of the Warriors roster include Justin Jocelyn, Robby Drollette, Et han Leibeck, Stephen Leibeck, •Elizabethtown Auto Care• Jacob Lawrence, Everett Richard A Rich Cassavaugh, Jared Ball, Full Service Auto Repair Station • NYS Inspections Bryant Rowe, Brady Sweatt, ASE Certified • NYS Certified Jaycob Gough, Hunter King, 6872 Route 9, P.O.

Blue Bombers want the title back LAKE PLACID | After a long reign at the top of Class C, the Lake Placid varsity boys soccer team will be looking to get back to the top of the mountain after falling short one year ago. “This will be another rebuilding year for the Blue Bombers after losing six starters, including senior goalkeeper Justin Novick and his brother Jacob, who moved to Canada for his senior year,” said coach Stuart Hemsley. “As long as we improve in practice and games, we’ll be ready come playoffs. Losing 5-4 on PKs in Sectional semis to a team who were one game away from the Final Four last year was tough but showed why we play the game. We’ll be making it as tough to play us as ever with the hope we play some really good stuff along the way.” Hemsley said the thirds will have to work

together to get the ball up the field, which should lead to scoring chances. “The forward line will be exciting to watch with pace and skill however they will have to help the defense win the ball back as the young and inexperience within the team will need support as they settle in to varsity soccer,” he said. Hemsley said keeper John Armstrong, defender Cobane Bissonette, midfield players Connor Reid, Sebastian Narvaez, Cooper Grady and Tyler Hinckley; and forward Remi Borden will be key players on the squad, which also includes Sam Le, Matthew Brandes, Nicholas Marvin, Brendan Bullock, Parker Anthony, Patrick Manning, Carter Morey, Tristan Spotts, Anders Stanton and John Brownell. ■

SARANAC LAKE | While the Saranac Lake girls varsity soccer team will seek to replace 12 graduates from the 2018 team, coach Emily Doyle said she has confidence in the nine seniors who make up the core of the 2019 team to lead the way. “We lost 12 seniors last year so we were not sure what to expect,” she said. “We are moving the ball really well this year.

OTBALL Patriots ready for new season

Evan Snow CLINTONVILLE | After a season that ended in the Section VII/Class C title game, the AuSable Valley varsity football team will start the new season in the hopes of only having to focus on the field.

After a late season coaching change to end 2018, Kyle Nolan will lead the Patriots into the new season. “This is a young team with a new coaching staff,” said Nolan. “Nonetheless, we are looking forward to a competitive season.” The Patriots return one of the top passing combinations in the CVAC with quarterback Evan Snow and receiver Luis Perez, with Carter Matzel also expected to help in the skill positions. On the line, Joe Lloyd returns to anchor a young but, “tough and determined,” core of linemen. Members of the roster include Domonick Betters, Kyle Bradley, Brian Carter, Nathan Doner, Eli Douglas, Mason Dubay, Austin Dukett, Rowen Dulka, Trent Gravelle, River Hanf, Nathan Holzer, Joe Lloyd, Steven Malskis, Carter Matzel, Jesse McLean, Damien Murphy, Alex Nelson, Luis Perez, Grant Pray, Noah Prentiss, Evan Snow, Keegan Snow, Ben Sprague, Calvin Stevens, Dylan Goodrow, Drake Dulka, Grady Tender and Kaleb Walton. ■

Red Storm football builds on experience SARANAC LAKE | Red Storm varsity football coach Eric Bennett said he hopes the 2019 version of Saranac Lake will improve upon a season that saw them in a difficult state. After not winning a game last season, the Red Storm return to the field with a solid core who have been building in knowledge of the game and fundamentals. “We are returning a number of starters at key positions and look to improve upon a difficult season last year,” Bennett said. “We are focusing on playing with intensity and sound fundamentals. We expect to be competitive.” Senior Ben Munn returns at running back and linebacker for the Red Storm, the lone returning all star on the roster. Junior quarterback Rhett Darrah also returns, and will be bolstered by returning linemen Patrick Alberga, Sean Sanford, Jackson Hunt-Lamb, Carter Gagnon and Riley Deangelis. Riley Deangelis and Wyatt Gladd will also see time in the trenches.

Rhett Darrah Senior Braden Ryan joins Munn in the backfield, along with Isaiah Buckley, Sam Donaldson, Dylan Stewart, Logan Brown, Austin Comiskey and Hunter Lacey. Outside receivers include returning senior Kenny Dashnaw along with David Warner, David Rascoe and Jeff rey LaVair. ■

Blue Bombers look to improve, repeat LAKE PLACID | The Blue Bomber varsity volleyball team wants to improve on its two-win total from a regular season ago, but wants to stay atop Class D, where the claimed the sectional title. “The team is working really well together so far,” said coach Sandra Huber. “We have a mix of returners, players moving up from JV, and some who haven’t played recently or at all. We’re working on improving our defensive play, and we have lots of potential in the front row. Right now we’re trying to figure out what everyone’s role will be.” Huber said a core of players will lead the team, headlined by senior Sara McKillip.

“Sara is a great leader, and we’re beyond happy to have her back on the court,” Huber said. “We have five juniors who played varsity last year: Dylan Bashaw and Evelynn Sharp are our setters, Crace Crawford is a key hitter and defensive player, and Isabella Armstrong and Karis Hudson are strong all-around players.” Huber said the team hopes to get better on defense with a faster, more creative offense. Members of the roster also include Ireland Preston, Madisyn Smith, Ellie Boaquet, Deidra Kellerman, Selestia Ordway and Samantha Clark. ■

Patriots show midseason form in opener By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

CLINTONVILLE | While a young team, the AuSable Valley varsity girls soccer squad has already had plenty of big game moments. Coming off a 2018 season which saw a pair of seventh graders starting for a team which made it to the regional finals, that experience showed in the first game of the 2019 season Aug. 31, scoring an 8-0 win over one of the favorites in Class D in Boquet Valley. “I think this game will give the girls confidence going into the league games,” said coach Lindsey Douglas. “We are pleased with the way the season has started, but we are not going to rest on this. There is still work to do.”

FIRST GAME

The meeting between the two schools, which got the title “battle of the Valleys,” was the fi rst official game for the Boquet Valley Central School athletic department. BVCS was officially sanctioned as a member of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) in July, as the new district is the result of a merge between the former Westport and Elizabethtown-Lewis Districts. The Griffins — in keeping the name from the merged sports teams of the past five years — had moments throughout the game with Analise Burdo, Skylar Bisselle and Annette Stephens finding some solid chances, but were turned away by the Patriots defense. Abby Monty made eight saves in net in her first varsity start. ■

Serena Stevens scored twice, including the game-winner, while Sophia Kelting and Chloe Reardon also scored.

Adirondack backdrop Ti Arts show features work of acclaimed artist Robert Hacunda By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

IRONVILLE | On an all-American back road obligingly populated with pickups and hayfields sits a farmhouse that is 200 years old and looks it. It is situated where the tired pavement finally gives way to dirt, and where a transition occurs between marginally tamed farmlands and full-blown Adirondack forest. Once, the farmhouse looked out over a great agricultural empire, but today the forests are doing battle with fields and the forest is winning. Humanity, as Americans tend to define it, reached a high water point more than a century ago, with the lucrative iron mines nearby, but all traces of them were ripped up by a company forced to admit bitter defeat. It is a land of a thousand stories and a thousand struggles, rich in soil but richer in allegories. It is, in short, everything an artist could want. Robert Hacunda and his brother inherited the 500-acre farm in 2011, and today he uses it as his studio where he paints his critically acclaimed landscapes and abstracts. His show, “Adirondack Sketches,” opens at the Ti Arts Gallery on Friday, Sept. 9 with a 5 p.m. reception. Hacunda’s abstracts experiment with light, composition and color — and the anxiety of always trying to do your best one

better. “You have to make the next leap, and you’ve already worked so hard to get to where you are,” he said. But as a baseline, nature is always there to lend a stabilizing hand. Nature “gives you everything you need — color, light, air,” Hacunda said. Then the landscapes begin to blur, and blur some more until abstraction takes over. Still, the natural elements in his abstracts remain. And if things get too unsettled, Hacunda is happy to return to landscape. “Landscapes keep me honest,” he said. “There’s no faking that.” And the farm is long on subject matter, including a battered elm that shows up in multiple works. The scars on the tree are much like the wounds, physical and emotional, that are suffered by people. Much of our character is determined, as with the elm, by our hurts and setbacks and how we have continued to grow in spite of them. Hacunda knows; he’s had his share. He didn’t know it for much of his life, but a benign tumor pressing on the optic nerve has challenged his vision. Hacunda has overcome it and even used it to advantage, sometimes painting what he sees without corrective lenses. Colors and light take the place of form, and in some way are reflective of the Impressionists that inspired him early in his career. Hacunda also suffered from tropical viruses contracted during a prolonged stay in Indonesia, and ultimately required him to return to the States for diagnosis and treatment. The struggle to overcome these illnesses has also made its way to canvas. To heal, Hacunda said he has always returned to the farm, its front porch, where cars seldom pass, being a soothing salve along with an artistic inspiration. “It’s always been a place I come to heal or decompress from the high stress of life,” he said.

Robert Hacunda sits on the porch of his Ironville farmhouse studio. Photo by Tim Rowland A wanderlust at heart and self-described nomad, Hacunda said he’s staying put for a while, as he pours himself more deeply into his work. “You really have to dig into it if you want to do something relevant,” he said. Hacunda is a product of the Hudson River Valley, which has a long tradition of artists and artist patrons. But the era is passing and the old money that used to support the arts is gone. The millennials are now the market, and Hacunda said their tastes run to the abstract. The Ti show will be the first Hacunda has done in a while, although his art is in many national and international collections. The Ti Arts gallery is located at 119 Montcalm St. in Ticonderoga, and is open year around Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hacunda’s show runs through Sept. 27. ■

The North Country Public Radio (NCPR) correspondent, former project coordinator and designer, and current project director, jumps on the scene with an enthusiasm of a collector. The Adirondack History Museum (AHM) in Elizabethtown recently showed NCPR’s “North Country at Work” installment of submitted photos, verbal histories and stories of those that work and have worked, past to present, in Elizabethtown and surrounding communities.

The lower floor of the museum hosted about a dozen and a half photos capturing folks at work. Some of the jobs depicted were: delivering ice blocks with ice picks; using a horse-powered saw; an approximately 50to 60-year-old photo of a bank teller in the region; raising supports in the local mine; a forest ranger; and recent AHM gallery artist Dan Keegan hanging his artwork. “North Country at Work” delves deep into, explores and displays the people that live, breathe and sweat in the Adirondacks and the diverse working populations of the North Country.

Those that come to visit the exhibit can sit and listen to them.” Twelve recordings of verbal accounts of local workers were also highlighted in the exhibit. Some of the local contributors to the audio-recorded project included: Amy Feiereisel and Michael Greenwood from Linda Jackson, Phil Jackson, Herbert the North Country at Work project pose for a Savel, Mary McGowan and Keegan. photo at the opening reception of the exhibit in North Country at Work began around Elizabethtown recently. The exhibit will run until three years ago in July 2016 under then the end of the museum season in mid-October.

‘BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND PROJECT’

“It’s really a hyper-local focused, boots-onthe-ground project,” Feiereisel said. “It really explores the way work, industry, companies and organizations can provide work and build a community — a town. And inversely, when those industries and large companies leave or no longer exist, the loss or ‘death’ of that industry often was also the death of the prosperity of that community. It’s a really interesting project.” “The photographs are a mix of old and new, and there are verbal stories recorded.

Biking the mountains BETAs annual festival attracts a capacity crowd to Wilmington By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

WILMINGTON | At a loss for words over Wilmington’s appeal as a mountain biking destination, one rider at the Wilmington Mountain Bike Festival last weekend simply turned and pointed to the Whiteface massif towering above the proceedings like some great lord and master of all outdoors. Wilmington has taken the title of the Bicycling Capital of the Adirondacks, and the weekend showed why it has been wise to do so. The Barkeater Trail Alliance’s annual festival reached its capacity of 200 registrants, and had to turn away people still streaming in on the day of the festival looking for camping space — a painful task in a sport that’s known for its uber-friendliness and hospitality. Josh Wilson, BETA’s executive director, said Wilmington is popular for its wide variety of trails and its logistics, which allowed festival participants to ride directly from their tent to trail. Indeed, the legion of riders, a colorful band flying down hills like hornets with their balloon-tired machines and space-force helmets, couldn’t say enough good things about Barkeater and Wilmington.

“The trails are amazing, the views are great and the festival is wonderful,” said Kylie Malanka, who drove down from Ontario with family and friends. She also praised Barkeater for its welcoming arms and shuttles to outlying trails. The weekend included group rides, instructions for all levels of riders from beginner to expert, music, a bonfire and beer garden, a kids’ race at Randy’s Bike Park and of course as much riding as a person could handle. Wilmington was the genesis of Adirondack mountain biking with a network called the Flume Trails allowing gentle rides along the west branch of the Ausable River, along with increasingly more difficult trails that creep up the mountains’ flanks. Barkeater has since added a three-mile Poor Man’s Downhill, and an extensive network of trails on Hardy Road east of the hamlet. “These are great trails and a great area,” said Brian Kapelle, who came from Albany. Kapelle is emblematic of the seriousness with which many riders take the sport. He began riding in the ’90s and travels to a mountain biking destination most every weekend. Mountain biking in the Adirondacks hasn’t achieve the Mecca-like standing of Vermont and Arkansas as destinations, but it’s gaining on it. Jell Allott, who is developing a network of mountain biking trails and accommodations in Elizabethtown, said there’s a nucleus forming for mountain bikers in a corridor from Saranac Lake to Elizabethtown, including trails in Wilmington and Lake Placid. Riders can connect these communities by

The enthusiasm for the sport, Wilson said, is reflected in the 75 local mountain biking enthusiasts who turned out to volunteer and
