Rising from the ashes: 1812 Homestead to rebuild Crowdfunding effort underway to rebuild historic education center that burned last month

Like a phoenix, the 1812 Homestead Farm & Museum is rising from the ashes that saw a fire ravage the campus last month. Authorities are treating the Aug. 27 blaze, which destroyed two buildings and damaged several others, as a possible arson. The owners are undeterred at the devastation that reduced a By Pete DeMola beloved local institution to ash and plan on rebuilding. pete@suncommunitynews.com For decades, the 1812 Homestead, located about three miles north of downtown Willsboro, has facilitated living history WILLSBORO — Singed scraps of paper danced in the programs for local students and campers from Pok-O-Macbreeze.

In time for autumn hikes, biking and paddle trips, new parking areas allow entry to former Finch Pruyn timberland NORTH HUDSON — State officials have opened former timberlands in the Boreas tract property to public access. The interim move comes as fall colors begin the slow march through the mountains. The newest addition to the Adirondack Park State Forest, Boreas has not been formally classified by the Department of EnKim vironmental Conservation in collaboration Dedam with the Adirondack Park Agency. Writer But state officials completed purchase of the 20,758-acre former Finch, Pruyn & Co. timberland last April. The real estate transaction with The Nature Conservancy cost New York state taxpayers $14.5 million. “The gate on Gulf Brook Road will open tomorrow,” DEC spokesman David Winchell told the Sun last Thursday, as Labor Day weekend got underway. Called an Interim Access Plan, public use includes entrance via Gulf Brook Road and seven miles of bike roads. The Gulf Brook Road winds 3.2 miles from Blue Ridge to the newly opened gate and an area that North Hudson Town Supervisor Ronald Moore calls “the four corners” at LaBier

The goal is $82,000. Eventually, the homestead aims to replicate the structures as closely as possible to their original nineteenth century incarnations. “This will be a long and careful process, and to do so, we are enlisting the help of several qualified consultants, engineers,

Roads throughout the property were established for logging truck traffic, fitted with culverts and bridge crossings.

WESTPORT — Motions in federal Bankruptcy Court have halted the Westport Country Club property move to public auction. Robert Hall and Leslie Hall-Butzer, creditors from Consolidated Mortgage LLC and siblings of owner John Hall, are looking to buy the property on Friday, Sept. 9, according to their attorney Louis J. Maione, P.C., of New York City. “If Bankruptcy Court allows the sale to go through to Consolidated Mortgage — the only secured creditor — then Consolidated would become the owner,” Maione told the Sun on Monday. >> See WESTPORT GOLF COURSE | pg. 7

Local shopowners say Otis Mountain has little effect on business Despite high ticket sales, local businesses say few customers come from Otis Mountain Get Down Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Though the Otis Mountain Get Down attracts around 2,000 people every September, effectively doubling Elizabethtown’s population for the weekend, many area businesses have yet to see an impact on the local economy. Many ticket holders opt to stay on festival grounds, according to Carolyn Sicher, who works at the Deer’s Head Inn. “I think a lot of people come to Otis, but they stay at Otis for the weekend,” Sicher said. The Sun spoke with several local business owners, and many echoed this sentiment. “We don’t get many people,” said Steve Cross of the Halfway House, which is located just one mile from the festival site. “In the past, [Otis Mountain] hasn’t really effected us,” said

Marsha McCarroll, co-owner of Bub’s Pizza, on social media. “We get stragglers here and there, but that’s about it.” Zachary Allott, an organizer for the event, confirmed that some ticketholders do choose to bring their own meals in an email on Aug. 30. “I think a lot may bring their own food and supplies,” he said. Allott said that though some do bring their own food, many people head into town as well. BREAKFAST A BIG DRAW Only a handful of local business owners said they noticed any change in business. The Arsenal Inn & Motel, who once reported selling out of breakfast because of Otis Mountain, Stewart’s, Aubuchon Hardware and the Boquet Liquor Shop. Steve Pierce, the owner of the Arsenal Inn, said that “it’s always a noticeable difference” for them. “We get quite a few people in,” Pierce said. “Boo” Duso of Aubuchon Hardware also confirmed that the store sees an uptick. “Yeah, we get some,” Duso said. “Definitely in the last few years we’ve seen an increase,” said Terry MacDougal, owner of the Boquet Liquor Shop. A spokesperson for Stewart’s said that the store particularly sees a bump in breakfast items and beverages. “We do beef up our staffing starting on the Thursday before the event, continuing through to Sunday night,” said Maria D’Amelia. “We really see traffic increase in the mornings and through the lunch hour and late afternoons.” When asked if Otis Mountain organizers encouraged attendees to explore Elizabethtown, Allott said that they do let ticket holders know they can get anything they need in town, and that there are stores just up the road.

Ticketholders enjoyed Vermont’s Miso Hungry mobile ramen shop last year. Miso Hungry will make another appearance at Otis Mountain this year. Photo provided

“I’m a little surprised that most businesses haven’t noted any increase in customers,” Allott said. “There is definitely more of an opportunity to encourage exploration outside of the venue a bit more.” VENDORS HAPPY Vendors that set up shop inside the festival site have a different story to tell. Pingala’s Broccoli Bar comes from Burlington, Vt. to participate in the festival every year. “It’s been great in years past,” said Trevor Sullivan, of the Broccoli Bar. “We offer a veggie option. We’ve had a lot of positive feedback.” Another vendor that frequents the Otis Mountain Get Down is Miso Hungry, a mobile Japanese ramen shop also based in Vermont. “We sell authentic ramen from scratch with my wife’s family recipes from Japan,” said Jordan Antonucci, owner of Miso Hungry. When asked if he received a lot of business at Otis Mountain, Antonucci simply said: “Yes.” The owner declined to discuss how much the shop typically makes during the three-day event.

Local theater company seeks directors, accompanists for 2017 season ESSEX — The Essex Theatre Company, community is seeking directors and/or play and musical ideas for the 2017 season. If interested in directing or becoming a music directing/ accompanist, organizers ask that those interested submit a bio and availability schedule for the 2017 summer season. All proposals should be to the play selection committee by Sept. 30. For more information, contact kathy.poppino@gmail. com.

The free lecture will begin at 2 p.m. For more information, contact the Adirondack History Museum at 8736466.

A new face at Westport school: Mr. Osborne New WCS superintendent, Mr. Scott Osborne sets a goal for clear communication lines By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — One of the new faces at school here this year is the school superintendent. He is a tall guy who wears a suit and tie, but loves vacationtime camping with his family. They camped in a tent despite a rainstorm this summer. Sometimes known by students as “Mr. O,” Scott Osborne started working at the Westport school on July 1, after he was hired to share the superintendent’s role he’s held at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central school since 2012. He sat down with the Sun in late August, answering questions about his school days, his family, education and career. He and his wife of 13 years, Jodie Osborne, have two young children: Jordan, 8, and Juliana, age 4. Jordan is going into third grade, and Juliana starting kindergarten in Peru this year. The “new guy at Westport” said his favorite pizza topping is a combination of sausage and green peppers. He played violin in his youth, and was a basketball and football player in high school. He also ran track and sang in the chorus. He has one older brother, John Osborne, who is an actor and lives in Texas with a wife and two children. His younger brother, Jason Osborne, works at Snowbird in Alta, Utah, as a snowboard instructor. “I’m the middle kid,” he quipped. Osborne was born and raised in Plattsburgh and lives now in Peru, where he worked previously as principal. His wife teaches third grade there and has for 17 years. The streets in Westport are very familiar to the district’s new superintendent, a life-long resident of Lake Champlain’s shores. He helped build the telephone system and communication lines here years ago. Osborne described how father, John, first came here to work as a mechanic on Plattsburgh Air Force Base. “You know that big jet in Plattsburgh, near the round-about on Route 22? He worked on that, it was his plane,” Osborne said. After completing tenure at the base, Osborne’s father spent 35 years working for Chazy-Westport Communications. And from high school through to his first year of college, Osborne also worked summers for the telephone company, placing communications wires up and down the Champlain Valley. Osborne said he attended elementary school at St. John’s Academy and was about to go into high school when it merged with Mount Assumption Institute.

The consolidation in 1989 created today’s Seton Catholic Central High School. The merger began, Osborne said, when he was in eighth grade. As a class officer, he talked about how important it was to meet with all student officers at both high schools. St. John’s had the shamrock as its mascot, colors: green and white, he explained. Mount Assumption teams were known as the “Mounties,” with school colors blue and gold. “When the merger came about,” he said, “there was no doubt I was going to continue with Seton.” But it was students who voted on the new high school’s new colors and its mascot. “We kept the green from St. John’s and the blue from Mount Assumption,” Osborne recalled. And because Dannemora had merged a year before (1988) to become part of Saranac Central School District, the “Knights” mascot was open. Thus became the Seton Knights, known to date for their green and blue school colors. “I lived and breathed green,” Osborne remembered of his early years at St. John’s. “I definitely appreciate the passion people have for school identity, their mascot and school traditions. And both St. John’s and Mount Assumption had pretty good football programs but Seton became a powerhouse. It was a win/win for everyone.” Osborne’s aspiration for college and a teaching degree came with added responsibility. “My parents paid for parochial school, so I knew college was on me,” Osborne said. “I attended Clinton Community for two years and then transferred into Plattsburgh State’s Elementary Education program in the spring of 1998.” Osborne calls himself a “three-time” Cardinal, having received three degrees from Plattsburgh State. And after graduation, at age 21, the school he attended as a youth was looking for a Social Studies teacher. “My first teaching job was at the school I went to. I was 21 years of age,” he said. “I’m really fortunate that someone took a chance on me at 21.” The start of this school year marks Osborne’s 20th year as an educator. “I’ve worked 10 years as a teacher and 10 in administration,” he said. Asked why he elected to build a life and living near his hometown, Osborne said it was a conscious decision. “I felt like I had everything I needed here. I’m pretty much a homebody, and I like small communities and schools. I was raised in one.” Entering a third month as Westport’s superintendent, Os-

borne said he has been working with the school board to hire and arrange for new staff. But getting to know the school will begin once students are back from summer vacation. “I won’t feel I have a complete handle on the community until the kids are there,” he said. The classes returned this week to a newly hired third grade teacher, Sarah LaCroix. With 26 students in the group, Westport opted to hire a second Grade 3 teacher, Osborne said. Tara Cassidy was also hired as the new guidance counselor and the school is in the process of hiring a new social studies teacher for the middle/high school grades. Osborne said he believes clear communication is an important asset he will bring to the school. “It includes leading by fact and having a commitment to get the job done correctly with emphasis on school traditions. I’m looking forward to being part of a team.” The new superintendent also has long-standing communication lines with both of Westport’s former part-time interim superintendents Dr. John Gallagher and Cynthia Ford-Johnston. “Structuring will look a lot like what my predecessors accomplished. “My intention is to start planning for Westport’s future,” Osborne said. “I want to know what the community wants the school to look like in 2020.”

Sculptors say Willsboro sculpture show a valuable asset to region

Second Annual Sculpture Show at Champlain Valley Senior Community, featuring 14 sculptors, concluded Sept. 9 By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WILLSBORO — Area sculptors are jazzed over what they say is a much-needed platform to showcase the art form in the region. The Second Annual Sculpture Show at the Champlain Valley Senior Community wrapped Sept. 9. Artists hailed the opportunity. The 14 participants, sculptors from across the region, said the art form often takes a back seat in public exhibitions to more traditional art forms, including painting and photography. While every artist likes to display their work, said Kate List, an Essex-based artist who displayed sculptures this year and last, showcasing their creations also acts as a catalyst for finishing projects. Artists are natural procrastinators, List said. And while not the driving factor, the opportunity to sell work also acts as a neat incentive.

Still another benefit of the show, which was located above the dining room in the downtown senior community, is networking with peers and receiving their critiques and interpretations. Merrill and Denise Leavitt often work in close proximity at their Schuyler Falls home studio. The Oregon native discussed the concept of entering “the zone,” a state of peak performance he likened to those experienced by athletes and other creatives. “It’s an absolutely tremendous feeling being in that zone,” Merrill said. Galleries also give them a chance to zoom out and interact with other professionals. While they’re extremely dialed into each others’ work, the outsider perspective is helpful, Merrill said. “The showing is the fun part for us,” said Merrill, who won top honors last year for a copper heron. Residents also enjoyed the works, said Victoria McDougal, CVSC marketing director. While the facility offers field trips for residents, it can be difficult getting them to exhibits, including those in Lake Placid. “It has been a lot of fun for them,” McDougal said. Overall attendance was up this year, reported Corey Gillilland, an organizer. A third installment is in the works.

Years ago, Gillilland and her family drove through a small town in Nebraska while on a road trip. A local sculptor’s creations dotted the landscape, in both yards and public spaces. Tourists flocked. “I would love to have Willsboro be that town,” Gillilland said.

The board also voted to buy a spare Motorola base station radio from Wells Communications of Plattsburgh on state contract, for $14,980, and go to bid for a backup battery power supply for the Angier Hill radio tower site in the town of Essex. The county also OK’d accepting a $166,248 State Homeland Security Department grant for 911 center operations for 201617, and $218,780 from New York State Electric and Gas for its share of the capital project. NYSEG is co-locating its antennas on some of the county radio towers. “We’re wrapping it up,” Essex County Emergency Services

Director Donald Jaquish said after the meeting. “We have one more thing to do – we want to fix some of the dead spots in our coverage area.” That will be done by aligning antennas and other adjustments, he said.

Pictured at right: Local sculptor Kate List poses in front of “Hersea,” a mixed media sculpture created, in part, from old issues of National Geographic. Part of a series, the statue is intended be moved to look like she’s swimming. List displayed the sculpture, among others, at the Second Annual Sculpture Show at the Champlain Valley Senior Community, which concluded Sept. 9.

Essex County supervisors discuss radio network repair woes The new Essex County 911 radio system is expensive to maintain, lawmakers say By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Some members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors think the cost of maintaining the county’s new public safety radio system is much too high. The $17 million Essex County public safety radio project is nearing the finish line, and on Tuesday, the board approved a Motorola service agreement for $179,000 to cover April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017. But the decision didn’t come without a lot of dissent. “I feel this is an outrageous price on a brand-new system,” Supervisor Randy Preston (IWilmington) said. “As the system gets older, the price could go up. I hope going forward we can have some negotiations (on cost).” Supervisor James Monty (RLewis) said the charge will have to be added to future county budgets. “That’s an annual maintenance cost,” Monty said. “The money’s coming from the radio project (bond issue) this year. In the 2017 budget, we’ll have to account for that.” County Manager Daniel Palmer said the maintenance charge is from state contract prices, which are usually the lowest available. “The problem is, it’s one of those situations where you pay for maintenance and if something goes wrong with your 911 system and you don’t have it, you’re putting the public at risk,” Palmer said. Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah) said he thought the new radio system came with a warranty. “I thought there was coverage for period of a few years?” Scozzafava said. The warranty is up, he was told, hence the service contract. Scozzafava said a Harris Corp. vendor submitted a bid for vehicle radios, but the county went with Motorola, because it was a Motorola system. Harris might have offered a longer warranty, he said. “No matter which company you hired, you’d always be looking at maintenance,” Palmer said. The service agreement covers everything from computers to radios, Palmer said. Lawmakers unanimously passed the award of the service contract.

ne can never put a value on a heartfelt “thank you.” They make up a significant portion of the communicated words we use each day, many times passing our lips as an automatic response from one human to another. A more formal “thank you” by card or letter requires greater thought and effort to produce and distribute. They also are associated with some form of cost. For many years, The SUN has published and distributed thousands of letters to thousands of homes from grateful organizations and community members at no charge to either the writer nor the recipient. No other method exists to reach so many without some cost by either party. Sadly, we must announce a change in our policy for accepting these types of letters. The ever-escalating cost of publishing a free community newspaper, mailed to every home in 85 unique zip codes, regretfully requires us alter this practice. Effective immediately, thank you letters appearing in The SUN will need to run as “Cards of Thanks” and will be channeled through our advertising department at deeply discounted rates. Thank you letters will no longer be accepted as a Letter to the Editor. Those letters will now be reserved for issue-oriented commentary to aid in the flow of free speech and the open exchange of ideas. It is never easy to change longstanding practices and we do not make these decisions without considerable thought and discussion. The SUN has a longstanding history of supporting many good causes and organizations throughout the region, which we will continue to do whenever possible. We understand the value of giving freely of our time and talent to assist those in need. But in the case of most thank you letters, they serve to promote their organization, the raising of funds and their supporters for commercial value. Our only form of income to support our publishing efforts and staff is the distribution of commercial information.

GUEST VIEWPOINT

Teaching the young how to vote By Tom Purcell “Son, you’re 18 now. As an American citizen that means you’ll vote for the first time in the upcoming election.” “Gee, dad, I can’t wait to do my civic duty. How do you suggest I prepare?” “Well, son, a good place to start is to re-read the American Constitution to understand the basic principles upon which our country was founded.” “It’s been a while since I read it in school, dad.” “Son, the Constitution is the highest law of the land. All new laws in our country originate from it or should. However, not all politicians buy into the Constitution. Some think it is old and outmoded.” “Outmoded, dad?” “The Constitution establishes a framework for how our government functions. It establishes a system of checks and balances, so that none of our three branches of government ---- the legislative, executive and judicial ---- can become too powerful. Some politicians hate having such limitations placed upon them, however. They want to do as they please with the taxpayers’ money or impose laws on citizens without following the constitutional process. So you’ll want to know their position on the Constitution before you vote.” “OK, dad, I’ll re-read the Constitution and be sure to research what each candidate thinks about it. What else should I do before I vote?” “You’ll also want to study the Bill of Rights, son. The bill represents 10 amendments to the Constitution designed to protect the civil liberties of individuals. For instance, the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the right to petition the government and freedom of the press.” “I remember learning in civics class that a free, objective press is essential to the survival of our republic.” “Which is a worrisome thing, son, when you see how in the tank the major media are for one presidential candidate over the other. You’ll also want to read the 17 other amendments. The 16th Amendment, for instance, was passed into law in 1913. It created the federal income tax.” “I’m already very familiar with that painful amendment, dad. What else can I do?” “Well, son, it’s important to study the issues. There’s lots of disagreement in America and how to move the country forward. Some people think our gov-

Thank you policy From this page

one thing to say thank you to all who supported our cause, but something entirely different to thank every supporter, contest winner, announce upcoming events and apologize for missing anyone (which in most cases is The SUN, which gets no recognition for printing the thank you letter itself). The last line is not meant to be sour grapes. The point I’m trying to make is that all too often, The SUN’s free service is taken for granted and that everything we do should be free. No organization will last long if the value of the service they provide is not supported in a monetary fashion by those who recognize the value. It can’t always be someone else who does the supporting.

ernment is too big and isn’t following the limited-government spirit of our Constitution. However, other people think the government should double down and spend lots more.” “More, dad?” “Yes, some people think ‘the rich’ aren’t paying their fair share. They think we can impose massive tax increases on them and redistribute the money to others who don’t have as much. But others think that would create a huge negative economic backlash that would end up hurting everyone, in particular the poorest among us.” “So you want me to study the political promises each candidate makes and then vote for the best person, dad?” “Yes, son, but that takes time and effort and too few voters are willing to do any due diligence on the candidates. Since many people get their information from the mass media, candidates who raise the most money to pay for the most negative advertising are often able to sway poorly informed voters.” “That’s disturbing, dad.” “It surely is, son. A thoughtful, well-informed public is the heart and soul of a thriving republic. In my opinion, the candidates who best embrace our country’s founding principles will be best able to tackle the incredible challenges we face ---- debt, spending, government bureaucracy, a flat economy. Regrettably, however, few people think as I do.” “Maybe so, dad, but you offer sound advice. I promise to be as well-informed as I can before I pull a voting lever on Election Day.” Tom Purcell, author of �Misadventures of a 1970�s Childhood� and �Wicked Is the Whiskey,� a Sean McClanahan mystery novel, both available at Amazon. com, is a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review humor columnist and is nationally syndicated exclusively by Cagle Cartoons Inc.

Providing a community newspaper with good quality content, delivered free to every residential home in 85 zip codes, is not a cheap service. Retaining our staff and purchasing the supplies and equipment required to perform this task each week costs approximately $85,000. Many weeks, especially in the winter, we don’t always cover those costs. It could be considered a high-wire act that we perform each week. If we give too much away, it causes those who support our efforts to question why. But at the same time, we believe our free distribution method is the future for newspapers that will survive to serve the entire community for years to come. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

ENDORSEMENT POLICY

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WhenÊ youÊ seeÊ anÊ AmericanÊ IraqÊ warÊ veteran... To the Editor: This is for all the Hillary haters to read when you talk about lying. When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one leg, think about who lied to cause him to lose his leg. When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no legs, think of who lied to cause him to lose both legs. When you see an American Iraq war veteran with one arm, think of who lied that caused him to lose his arm. When you see an American Iraq war veteran with no arms, think of who caused him to lose both arms. When you see an American Iraq war veteran who is blind, think of who lied to cause him to lose his vision. When you see an American Iraq war veteran who doesn’t know where he is or who he is, think about who lied that caused him to lose his mind. When you see all the American Iraq war veteran in hospitals today, think about who caused them to be in those hospitals. I think about it all the time whenever I see any of our American Iraq veterans. I think about it all the time, who could have been responsible for all these ruined lives? How could anyone have lied to do such a horrendous thing, who? Then the answer came to me: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, William Kristol, George Tenet, all Republicans. These people who lied and are responsible for thousands of deaths, injuries, trillions of dollars of debt and setting the Middle East on fire in which there seems to be no end in sight.

AppalledÊ byÊ racistÊ incidents To the Editor: After reading the article by Pete DeMola [“Diversity group tackles tough questions,” The Sun, Aug. 20 edition], I was appalled about his report of Alvin Codner visiting a Lake George establishment. It doesn’t matter if you’re an African American or a member of any other race. You should not be treated with such disrespect by any business that is here to serve the customer. The Ticonderoga Walmart is just as bad. When I was growing up, my father always respected anyone he met. His advice was to remember each one of us has a soul and to treat everyone

Westport Golf Course From page 1

The Westport Golf Course’s majority owner John Hall had filed for Chapter 11 on March 28, 2014. But the bankruptcy case was converted to a Chapter 7 on May 6 last year in a move to sell the debtor’s assets, according to court documents. A concurrent case in Albany New York Supreme Court has alleged that Consolidated Mortgage “improperly fabricated a default” and purchased bank mortgage held on the property in 2013. But Maione maintains that Consolidated Mortgage rejected a forbearance payment in September that year “due to misinformation given to us by the bank.” Six forbearance payments then accrued, Maione said. “He (John Hall) then filed bankruptcy.” The conversion to Chapter 7 was ordered by Judge Robert E. Littlefield Jr. at the Northern District of New York Bankruptcy Court. “John Hall did not follow the orders (for payments) the judge has assigned,” Maione said of the case history. “So we made an order to have the property liquidated.” If the bankruptcy court judge allows Consolidated Mortgage to buy the property on Friday, Maione says his clients will pay $60,000. Maione said his clients, Robert Hall and Leslie Hall-Butzer, had already invested $825,000 to save the mortgage. “If they get the property, then they would run the golf course like it is supposed to be run,” Maione said of the country club in the heart of Westport. “We don’t want to see that golf course close down.” Westport Golf Course has remained open this summer, but without its attendant club and restaurant amenities. It would close with the season’s end, Maione said, after the pending Sept. 9 but likely closer to Columbus Day. “Ernie LaPine does a pretty good job keeping the course in good shape,” the attorney said, allowing that he visited the course last week. “Then we would circle the wagons and do what’s necessary to get it open next April.” Maione said the separate Supreme Court matter would continue. That case alleges that Consolidated Mortgage fabricated a mortgage forbearance, and forced Westport Golf to default on loan arrangements in 2013. The move to purchase the First Niagara mortgage in 2013, Maione said, came after John Hall’s siblings grew weary of what they viewed as improper management and investor reporting practice. “They got tired of it and when he (John) asked them to co-sign the Essex County IDA loan in 2011, they asked him to put somebody else in charge.” Hall’s siblings Rob and Leslie had received only brief annual reports instead of full quarterly financials, the attorney said.

HUDÊ programÊ Ô didÊ nothingÕ Ê forÊ apartmentÊ withÊ blackÊ mold To the Editor: HUD Program, Housing for Underdeveloped: this program helps people with rental assistance. The last apartment I lived in was in Port Henry, NY. For two years I put up with black mold, lead paint and ceilings falling in. HUD did nothing until Public Health moved me out of there. Now, I’ve moved to Elizabethtown, NY. I have roaches and mice in an apartment HUD recommended to me. It was never inspected before I moved in. My caretaker just kept getting sprays, and whatnot, from the store. Then, he was forced to spray. Just my apartment. HUD employee did nothing. I, Laurie Rafferty, tenant, have contacted the health department. I spoke to the man once on the phone, he said the problem would be taken care of. Now, he will not even return my calls. The HUD employee stated I was in danger of losing my assistance. Except I still have a caseworker through Public Health. A home health care person out of Plattsburgh. And a mental health worker drops into my home. The neighbor next door stated the roaches were in the apartment when I moved in, to the caretaker. I am not allowed to move, due to HUD. And if I just keep quiet then I can keep my HUD and not be homeless. That’s the way the HUD program works in Essex County. Laurie Rafferty Elizabethtown

“John Hall has a long history of refinancing that golf course; he has done it four times.” But John Hall’s claim brings golf licensure and expertise into play. Paperwork filed in Bankruptcy Court by attorneys for John Hall and his group, Westport Golf Investors LLC, claim that he alone has the training and background to properly manage the facility. “The golf course cannot successfully operate without John Hall who has all the requisite licensing (including spray application), PGA (Professional Golfers’ Assoc.) certifications, and operational experience necessary to operate the golf course,” case documents argued last year. “Consolidated Mortgage, LLC, Robert Hall, and Leslie Hall‐Butzer blame by innuendo when requesting this Bankruptcy Court to draw conclusions (specifically that John Hall is mismanaging the golf course) when there is a lack of evidence to support the conclusion,” court records charge. The Chapter 7 Trustee assigned to the case, attorney Robert Wolinski, looked to hold a hearing for a private sale on Sept. 21. But that time frame was subsequently shortened to Sept. 9 at 9 a.m. at the U.S. Courthouse in Albany. Attorney Stefanie DiLallo Bitter, who was appointed the receiver in Chapter 7 proceedings, requested the earlier date to protect the asset. Bitter’s letter to Judge Littlefield filed on Aug. 27 said that “With this being a seasonal business, and the season ending next week, I am very concerned that I will not be able to maintain and protect the asset until the projected closing date. I am already operating at a deficit and have multiple bills that remain unpaid. As a result, I would respectfully request that if at all possible the Court consider expediting the Trustee’s application, and moving the closing date to Sept. 9.” SUPREME COURT Reached via email, John Hall’s Supreme Court case attorney John M. Silvestri of the Glens Falls firm Stanclift, Ludemann, Silvestri & McMorris, PC, said they are hoping the Bankruptcy proceeding is dismissed on Friday or discontinued so the matter will be heard solely before state Supreme Court. “Under John Hall’s management the course was meeting its obligations, operating and was a positive part of the local economy,” Silvestri said. “His brother, Robert Hall and sister, Leslie Hall-Butzer, by insisting that the affairs of the golf course be burdened by a Trustee in Bankruptcy, a Receiver in The Supreme Court and an outside manager have driven the business into the ground. “The cost of the Trustee, Receiver and outside manager insured that income went to their salaries rather than the ongoing maintenance and growth of the course.” Silvestri said actions by John Hall’s brother and sister in the courts have been disastrous to Westport Golf Course. “Once the case is under the control of just the NY Court we are hoping to reverse this damage and possibly have John reinstated as the manager,” Silvestri said.

Trump on Immigration Speech sounds good, but rings hollow Christine Flowers Columnist

s an immigration lawyer, I approached Donald Trump’s speech last Wednesday night with anticipation, hope and trepidation. I was willing to keep an open mind about a topic that, next to abortion rights and religious freedom, is the most important issue for me in this campaign. I was prepared to praise the man if he came out with an honest, workable, non-tweetable attempt to address the extremely complicated factors that go into the whole concept of “illegal immigration.” To say I was disappointed is an understatement along the level of “Houston, we have a problem.” I listened politely as Trump spoke about building his wall, and understood that this was an appealing concept to many - including myself - who are troubled by the fluidity of our borders. As he discussed the modalities that would be used to build that wall, evoking technologies apparently not yet in existence, I realized that his use of this concept was much more symbolic than anything else. “Build a wall” has been an effective slogan over the years, and it doesn’t require much cerebral heavy lifting. Trump sounded more poetic than Maya Angelou: “On Day 1, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful Southern border wall.” He talked about “above- and below-ground sensors” which other people call “tunnels.” He talked about aerial surveillance, towers and additional manpower. He also said Mexico would pay for the wall, even though the Mexican president made it clear that Mexico “no paga.” So the estimated $8 to $12 billion needed to build this “beautiful Southern border wall” will have to come from somewhere. Then Trump announced the revolutionary concept that he would change enforcement priorities by “removing criminals, gang members, security threats, visa overstays, (and) public charges.” I stood up and gave him a standing ovation when I heard that. But I gave President Obama that same standing ovation when he announced those same priorities in November 2014. Yawn. Trump then talked about screening refugees, and no one who has seen the brutality wreaked by ISIS and other Islamic terror groups should object to that. But, as experts have noted, refugees generally undergo the most rigorous and time-consuming process of any category of immigrants. Sometimes the process can take up to 18 months, or more. So again, nothing new. The suggestion that illegal aliens must be kept out of the country because they have an innate tendency to be more violent and homicidal than the average native-born American is wrong. Debatable, but still wrong. It’s an argument we can have; I’m fine with that. My problem is using death to make your partisan point. “My boy was shot by a cop. They’re bigoted monsters.” “My boy was killed by an illegal. They’re homicidal maniacs.” Same tune, different verses. And if you don’t think it’s the same tune, that’s because your ears are registered with a different party, and you think some mothers are less entitled to grieve than others.

Willsboro church launches capital campaign for elevator “Overwhelmed” St. Philip of Jesus is seeking funds for elevator to aid in transport of elderly parishioners, who often have medical emergencies while attending services By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WILLSBORO — The road to salvation can be steep. Literally. A tall flight of stairs grants access to St. Philip of Jesus Church in Willsboro. Navigating them is becoming increasingly difficult for the flock who attends Sunday mass. Nowhere is the problem more critical than for the dozen-orso parishioners from the Champlain Valley Senior Community, located just a few hundred yards down Main Street. Each Sunday, a van pulls up and the elderly residents disembark. One by one, they must utilize the chair lift, a long and cumbersome process that sees bottlenecks at either end as lines build and staffers and volunteer carry medical equipment up and down the stairs. The process is taxing on the parishioners, many of whom are frail, and medical emergencies are not uncommon at services, said Father Francis Flynn. “Every Sunday, something happens,” Flynn said, ticking off a series of recent incidents (none of which were fatal). “As many people as we have been helping, something always happens,” he said. “When you have 10 to 15 every Sunday, it’s overwhelming.” The incidents also tend to delay services, which are already on a tight schedule. Flynn administers to four parishes, including St. Philip Neri in Westport, where he presides over an 8:30 a.m. Mass. Once the last wafer is distributed and hand shook, he zips over to Willsboro for the 10:30 a.m. service. An aluminum ramp along the side of the imposing stone building provides an alternative, but the winding structure is seldom used, Flynn said, particularly in the winter, when it is iced over and hazardous. “Between the ramp and the chair, there are accidents waiting to happen,” said Paul White, a deacon. Still others have stopped attending services due to the lack of access, he said. St. Philip’s occupies a tight space on Main Street, and solutions are scant. The best-care scenario to safeguard against mishaps is the installation of an enclosed elevator at the front of building, which would allow ground-level access and transport attendees up one story to the main worship area. “We’ll wheel them in, they’ll go up, and wheel them out,” Flynn said.

Initial specs by Architectural & Engineering Design Associates put the project at $100,000. The parish has already raised $50,000, and have launched a capital campaign for the remainder. “We have to raise all the money before we get permission from the [Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg] to do it,” Flynn said. “It has to be all pledges, donations of one form or another, or grants.” Flynn said he has already spoke with state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury), who dialed the parish into possible grant funding. Additional options are also available through the diocese. Flynn and White said the lift is simply good planning. The easier access may appeal to young families, including those with strollers. And aging is inevitable. “It’s an aging parish, and most people are going to need it,” Flynn said. For more information, contact St. Philip of Jesus at 518-9634524 or the Diocese of Ogdensburg at 315-393-2920 ext. 1210.

The installation of an elevator at St. Philip of Jesus Catholic Church in Willsboro is critical for the safety of elderly parishioners, said Father Francis Flynn. The church has launched a capital campaign to fund the project.

WESTPORT — While the Lady Griffins varsity girl’s soccer program returns a majority of its team from 2015, numbers will be a significant issue as the squad prepares for the new season, now as a member of Division II of the Northern Soccer League. “The players will have to take on the role of utility players at several positions to help with rest of players and just to mix it up,” cocoach Brad Rascoe said. “The returning players will play a critical role in the success of the lady griffins,” said co-coach Aubrey Pulsifer. The duo coach a team which has 10 of 12 members of its roster returning and boasts strength in the middle of the field. “We have a strong central field with veteran players such as Tess Andrade, Hannah Schwoebel and Taylor Gough along with keeper Malynda Lobdell,” Pulsifer said. “Hannah has to be key on defense anchoring and communication being her key,” Rascoe said. “Tess will have to control the middle of the field with Taylor.” On the attack, senior Chloe Mitchell and junior Ellie Storey will play key roles. “We need Ellie to keep scoring and other players to step up and help with the offense,” Rascoe said. “I see Chloe as our main sub in the middle for Hannah, Tess and Taylor.” “Chloe Mitchell and Ellie Storey will be important for the Griffins offense success,”

PatriotsÊ wantÊ toÊ repeatÊ asÊ ClassÊ CÊ championsÊ inÊ 2016 By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley Patriots varsity football team finds themselves in the position they have not been at in a while — coming into a season as the defending Section VII champions. “Coming back this year we are definitely excited to defend this title,” second-year head coach Ed McCallister said. “We had a good winter and put a lot of work in the weight room.” However, McCallister added the elation of a sectional title can also be a double-edged sword. “While winning the title is good motivation to repeat, it puts a bullseye on our back,” he said. The Patriots will return 13 players from the 2015 squad who saw significant playing time, according to McCallister, but will rely on a batch of newcomers to fill out the depth in the roster. “We think some of these youngsters are going to be bale to play,” he said. The defense will be led by Kobe Parrow and Chance Lapier, while the team will return skill players in Brandon Snow, Parrow, Trent Bordeau and Dalton McDonald, who will return to lead the team at quarterback. “We will take these players and scatter in the kids that can play,” McCallister said. “We have to find out who the kids are who have the ability to step up and play when we need them and fill the spots we need.” The team is looking forward to getting into the season, knowing after last season the team can only get better through tough competition. “We had a four game stretch where we played Moriah, Ticonderoga, Whitehall and Malone, whose records were a combined 45-3,” McCallister said. “Then, we found ourselves down 1412 at halftime against Saranac Lake in the championship game and I think we were the only people in that locker room who thought we were coming back.” While McCallister is preparing for this season, he also has his sites set to the future. “We want to get where teams like Moriah and Ticonderoga are now,” he said. “We want to be to the point where there is no rebuilding going on here, just reloading.”

CLINTONVILLE — The saying goes, it all starts with defense. That is where it will start for the AuSable Valley girl’s varsity soccer program in 2016, where head coach Bruce Bourgeois will have a core of experienced leadership backing up a newcomer in net. “The defense will be anchored by four returning veterans in all-star Kourtney Keenan at stopper, Tressa Loreman and Hannah Rondeau as outside fullbacks and Brinn Peck taking over as sweeper,” Bourgeois said. “Sophomore Camryn Lincoln will take over the goal keeping duties.” The Lady Patriots will also have some power on the offensive third of the field, led by attacking players in Dru Gravelle, Addy Strong and Nia Blaise. The midfield will be where the Pats are

most inexperiences, with Adelle Bourgeois joining newcomers Ashley Hart and Briana Williams in the middle third. Taylor Hackett, Jill Bacon, Kennedy Barber, Hailey Christiansen, Jade Covington, Janelle Simpson and Avery Tromblee will be needed off the bench to help the team succeed, according to Bourgeois. “The Patriots will be very quick in transition, tough on defense and sharp in the attack,” he said. “Our speed on the pitch will rarely be equaled by any teams. We hope to be very competitive in Division I again this year. The talent of play at that level always prepares us for sectional play in class C.” With that, Bourgeois believes this team can return to the point where they are still playing games past the first weekend in November. “The teams goal is to advance further than the finals to inter-sectional play where the ability of many of our players ability to fill a variety of positions will allow us to succeed,” he said.

WILLSBORO — The Warriors boy’s varsity soccer program is working to get back into the mix of the Division II race. “The players have a great work ethic and are putting forth a tremendous amount of effort,” coach Andy Lee said. “Our goal is to be competitive, work together and improve during each game. The team wants to give their best effort during each match regardless of the outcome.” The Warriors will return three members to the middle third of the field in midfielders Trevor Bigelow, Paul Fine-Lease and Nate Yeager. “Paul is always around the ball and creates opportunities for his teammates,” Lee said. “This will be the second year for Trevor playing the central midfield position and he has shown great progression throughout last season and into the preseason.” Lee also said he hopes to get even more

goals from last year’s top striker, Jesse Hearn. “Jesse is looking to play a bigger role this season,” he said.

WILLSBORO — It’s a new year and a new division for the Warrior varsity girl’s soccer program in 2016, as Willsboro will swap their Division II spot in the Northern Soccer League to take the Division III position previously held by the Lady Griffins. “I feel the Willsboro Ladies are ready to play,” coach Dawn Bronson said. “As seen in the past few years we have very low numbers but grateful to have a team. The ladies understand that there are not many subs so they will have a lot of playing time. They are conditioning and training very hard in the pre-season.” Bronson said experience will play a role for the team. “Since most of the girls were on Varsity last year, I feel they are ready and understand what to expect in our season,” she said. Along with a core of returnees, Bronson said the team will feature two talented newcomers. “Freshmen Kira Crowningshield and Katie Wilkins will be great additions to our team,” she said. “They both have shown great interest in the defensive positions that I am looking for someone to step in and take charge.” Rylee Pierson and Devi Lee will head the front third on the offensive attack, while Savannah Bronson, Darrian

Peru woman wins $100,000 Winner of the American Legion’s $100K ‘Queen of Hearts’ raffle announced Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

MORRISONVILLE — When the Trudeaus entered the American Legion to put their names into the mix for the highly anticipated Queen of Hearts raffle, an annual contest sponsored by the American Legion, the family didn’t think much of their odds of winning the $100,000 grand prize. “I didn’t expect it at all,” said Kristen Trudeau, whose name was called when the queen of hearts was found. “We only bought $20 worth of tickets. There were people who bought $50 or more.” Trudeau had heard about the raffle near the end of its 26 week run. Each week, members of the American Legion would draw cards hoping to get the Queen of Hearts. As each week passed, the grand prize grew larger. On Aug. 26, the deck was down to two cards. Someone would finally win that night, organizers told Legion members on Facebook. Trudeau caught wind of this 50/50 shot and on the way to her birthday dinner, she and her husband, Robert, decided: Why not? “There were so many people in here, we couldn’t even find a place to write our names on the tickets,” said Robert. “I had to go outside and write on the ticket on the railing,” said Kristen. After finding a spot to write out their name and number on the raffle tickets, the family left to go have dinner, thinking they didn’t have much of a shot. “When the time came, Jimmy Devan, a purple heart recipi-

ent, reached in twice to pick out names,” said Michael Rock, an organizer for the event. “They picked mine first,” said Robert. “But I forgot to write my number on it, so they passed.” Trudeau laughed, saying that he was glad things worked out in the family’s favor anyway. Devan reached in again and pulled out Kristen Trudeau’s name. “We heard in the car,” said Angelina Trudeau, the couple’s daughter. Danika Trudeau, her younger sister, piped in to say that they had gotten about 20 phone calls all at once when her mother’s name was called. When the winning ticket was drawn, according to Rock, members of the gathered crowd uttered a disappointed groan before cheering. For three weeks before the winning draw, people had been sitting out on the deck waiting for the American Legion to open, according to Gary Giles, a member of the club for 47 years. “I came in [to clean] around eight in the morning, and there would be people at every door waiting to come in,” said Giles. His wife, Connie Giles, said that the Legion didn’t even open until 11 a.m. “It was fun while it lasted,” said Rock, “but I sure am glad it’s over.” The American Legion post was able to raise around $250,000 from the raffle. When asked what the family would do with the $100,000

prize, Kristen Trudeau simply shrugged. “We have three kids,” she said. “Three kids that need to go to college and need school clothes.” The American Legion Riders Post 1619 will have another Queen of Hearts raffle next year. They begin in January and draw cards every week until the winning card is chosen.

Former CO gets 6 months for selling drugs in county jail By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Former Essex County Corrections Officer Jeffrey Wallace, 33, was sentenced Aug. 25 for bringing drugs to an inmate at the Essex County Jail. Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said sentencing was based on a plea deal struck in May that reduced nine felony counts to two. Wallace was caught on security camera bringing suboxone to an inmate at the jail — where he worked — on three different dates between Sept. 26 and Oct. 6 in 2015. He was originally charged with three counts of fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a Class C felony; three counts of first-degree promoting prison contraband, a Class D felony; and three counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, also a Class D felony. “He had three counts of each because they were on three different dates,” Sprague said. The plea deal settled on two counts: one first-degree promoting prison contraband and one fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, which is a drug felony and nets an indeterminate sentence. Essex County Judge Richard Meyer ordered Wallace to serve six months in jail plus five years probation. But the former corrections officer won’t serve the time in Essex County. “They’re going to have to ship him to St. Lawrence County,” Sprague said shortly after court ended. “The five years probation would run concurrently. But if he violates probation, he would then get two consecutive sentences, meaning they would be served one after the other. A drug felony gets one year in state prison with a maximum two-

and-a-half years, determinate, which means it’s set by the law. The sentence is two-and-a-third years to seven, indeterminate, on promoting prison contraband. And he’s going to do Drug Court,” Sprague said. In addition, Wallace, a former resident of Ticonderoga, has to surrender all firearms and weapons, Sprague said. “He has to pay total surcharges, fees and fines of $2,375. And he loses his driver’s license for six months,” the DA said. The drug transaction in Essex County Jail was uncovered after a tip to Sheriff Richard Cutting last year, Sprague said. “The tip lead to an in-house investigation and a watch under surveillance,” Sprague said. The suboxone was intercepted when Wallace was caught, Sprague said. But review of camera data showed earlier dates Wallace brought drugs to the inmate. “He would bring it to the same inmate. It was a local person,” the DA said. Wallace had a family relationship to the inmate, who later was released from jail and had a near fatal overdose, Sprague said. Without giving the former inmate’s name, Sprague said he was revived with Narcan after overdosing outside the jail. Essex County Sheriff ’s Department Undersheriff Michael Badger said Wallace had worked as a corrections officer for more than eight years. He worked in both the old and new county jail facilities. Wallace was let go, Badger said. He was terminated when he was caught bringing drugs into the jail, Sprague said. “With a conviction now, Mr. Wallace is barred from working in law enforcement. And he will have no grounds to appeal termination.” The Sheriff ’s Department said the sentence serves justice. “It’s his first offense, so we’re satisfied with the sentence,” Badger said. In a statement after the arrest last fall, Sheriff Cutting said ‘It is never easy to investigate your own, but it has to be done to maintain the integrity of the Office of Sheriff,” said Cutting in a statement.

It was the first such arrest of a CO at the Essex County Jail, Cutting had said. Wallace was a former volunteer with the Putnam Station Volunteer Fire Department.

professionals, and historic preservationists to help us achieve our goal,” DeBusk wrote on the campaign’s GoFundMe page. The first building pegged for replacement is the barn, which was utilized as an indoor teaching space. The farmhouse and other structures will follow, said Jack Swan, 1812 Homestead owner. Total costs to rebuild are unknown, Swan said, as is the final tally for damages. None of the buildings were covered by fire insurance. But for the owner, the decision to rebuild was a no-brainer. Following the blaze, Swan said he was he was energized by the response from the community. He said he had no idea people were as psychologically invested in the property as he was. “They’re as sad as I am,” Swan said, citing the flood of calls and well-wishers following the incident, including a woman who said she was up all night crying. While the suggested donation is $18.12, the average contribution so far has been $100, with donations pouring in from across the country. Over $10,000 was raised on the first day. “I heard my first, real, truly scary ghost story here, and made enough candles over the years to light a small church,” wrote Liz Aibel, who donated $150. “Thanks for organizing.” DeBusk said the outpouring has been inspirational. “I’ve very moved to see so many people getting behind it,” she said. “I just hope we keep the momentum.” Swan hopes to have a barn up by spring, ideally an oldfashioned barn-raising. “We gotta do something positive,” Swan said. Perhaps a replacement for the farmhouse will follow. The incident remains under investigation. “We know it was arson because there was three fires going at the same time,” Swan said. “I hope they can catch the guy, but I don’t think so. Everybody is in the blank why anybody would do this.”

Department head files grievance Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava targeted by complaint By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — An Essex County department head has filed a complaint against Moriah Town Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava over a letter to the board read at a public meeting. At last week’s Essex County Board of Supervisors Ways and Means Committee meeting, Scozzafava (R-Moriah) read an anonymous letter that asked if County Department of Social Services Commissioner John O’Neill had permission to work at home, because he apparently did so frequently. At that meeting, County Manager Daniel Palmer told Scozzafava he would check on the situation. But at Tuesday’s regular Board of Supervisors session, Scozzafava said the employee who was the subject of the letter filed a grievance against him.

“I have no problem discussing it here,” Scozzafava said, asking County Attorney Daniel Manning III what the process is for an employee filing a grievance against an elected official. “There’s a process under county law,” Manning said. “A two-step process, basically.” He said it first goes to the department head or superior, then that person makes a suggestion on how to alleviate it, and if that doesn’t resolve it, it goes to a hearing and determination is made. O’Neill said he didn’t know what Scozzafava had said at Tuesday’s meeting, because he hadn’t been present. “I said everything I needed to in the grievance,” O’Neill said. “I’ll refrain from further comment.” Scozzafava said he had the legal right to read the letter at a meeting. “I’ve seen this movie before,” Scozzafava said. “The Board of Supervisors absolutely has the right to investigate any department or employee. Under the (state) whistleblower law, someone can send a letter, anonymous or not. I’m going to file insubordination charges against this individual for what he has said to me. All I did was read a letter.” Manning said he doesn’t recommend reading

such letters in public. “Those things are very temperamental,” Manning said. Scozzafava said the letter simply asked whether O’Neill had permission to work at home. “I never made an allegation. I simply read a letter,” Scozzafava said.

Although Manning suggested one, Scozzafava said there was no need for an executive session, and the Board of Supervisors adjourned after his statements. Palmer and Board of Supervisors Chair William Ferebee (R-Keene) were planning to meet with O’Neill after the meeting to discuss the grievance.

EYE ON THE ARTS

North Country comes alive with dwindling summer

here are plenty of North Country residents who feel, immovably, that the North Country is the best place to live. Period. One of the biggest contributing factors to their love for the area, from what I’ve heard from those idealistic residents, is the fact that the North Country has four definitive, textbook seasons. In simpler terms; the winter months are cold until spring moves in, then summer, then fall, and each season brings with it the expected side effects. As the summer dwindles, our tourism industry doesn’t die; it evolves. Soon the leaf peepers will descend upon our quiet towns, orchards will open for apple picking and hayrides, and fall will be upon us. In this transitional period, there are a number of events around the region that will either cling to the summer, or embrace the oncoming fall. Here are a few: The Lake Placid Center for the Arts will host the Bumper Jacksons, 2015 Washington Area Music Award winners for Artist of the Year, on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

PatriotsÊ soccerÊ youthfulÊ inÊ Ô 16 By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — The Patriot boy’s varsity soccer program is still looking to improve their station in Division I of the Northern Soccer League, building to a competitive form for 2016 and beyond. “With a young team, our goal for this year is to try to build off last season and continue to improve each and every day,” said coach Michael Farbotko. “In order to stay competitive throughout the season, it’s essential for our team to play with maximum effort and commit to working to get better after every practice and game.” The Patriots return several players to a team who lost six to graduation, and Farbotko said each will have to step up to take one more responsibility within the squad. “It’s critical that some of our returning players fill those leadership roles and help lead the team in a positive direction,” he said.

McCormickÊ toÊ leadÊ swimmers By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — Like Katie Ledecky broke US swimming records this summer, AuSable Valley girl’s swimming coach Andy Johnson may be shuffling a lot of letters on the Patriot’s record board. “Look for senior Emily McCormick to rewrite about half of the AuSable Valley record board,” Johnson said. McCormick was the lone swimmer from Section VII not from Plattsburgh to qualify for the NYSPHSAA state meet in 2015, winning the 200 and 500 freestyle to earn her trip to states. Along with McCormick, Johnson said there will be other swimmers to watch. “We are likely to see some strong performances from Madison Bedard, Erin Butler, Danielle Dubay, Allison McCormick, Lilian Wilson and Haylee Vanderpool,” he said. Butler and Dubay competed at the 2015 Section VII meet as part of the 200 medley

relay team. Vanderpool was third in the 50 free, while Bedard, Allison McCormick and Megan LeClair were in the 200 and 400 free relay events.

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley varsity volleyball team will have a lot of familiar faces on it for 2016, as coach Roger Long returns a team which did not lose a players to graduation. “Chemistry will be key,” said Long. “We will try to compete to be 500 or better depending on our health and if we are ready night in and night out. The league will be very even this year.” Long, who enters his second year at the helm, said team size will be an issue they will have to overcome for the season. Karissa Stevens, Kendra Christensen, Paige Sousis, Taylor Matilla and Leah Shay return as starters for Long, while Eriykah Segrist, Kayla Rock and Lindsey Lincoln will also seek playing time among the starters.

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CLINTONVILLE — Numbers are up for the AuSable Valley varsity cross country program as it prepares for the 2016 season. “We are looking forward to a good season,” Sean Ganter said. “The boys return a solid core including Zachary Lawrence, Dylan Trombley, Alex Wilson, Matthew Russom, Troy Straight and Joe Forker. Newcomers Jacub Baer and Taylor Whitcomb are nice additions.” Ganter said a key to the program is the ability the team will have to have runners challenging each other for positions. “The team goes at least 10 deep with quality runners,” he said. “This depth

should promote some friendly competition during practice which will improve performances at meets.” On the girls side, Ganter said the Lady Patriots return a solid core of Olivia Hetfield, Shania Malskis, Lily Potthast and Paolina Emerson. “McKenna Christiansen and Haley Passino will bolster the team as new varsity runners,” Ganter said. “The girls don’t have as much depth as the boys but overall the girls numbers are improving across the program.” Overall, Ganter said it should be a good year for both programs. “Both teams should be competitive this year,” he said. “Team cohesion is excellent. The more experienced athletes do a great job of introducing the younger ones

to the sport and setting a good example. Many athletes put in some good training over the past year. The program is moving forward toward better results. I am very excited for the season.”

SARANAC LAKE — While some may have seen this as a revenge game on numerous levels, for the Saranac Lake Red Storm varsity football team, it was just a chance to win another day. “This year we are really trying to stay in the moment and control what we can control,” said head coach Eric Bennett after the Red Storm scored a 21-6 win over the AuSable Valley Patriots. “From the summer on, we have talked about competing every day,” Bennett added. “I don’t look at this as a revenge game or a C rivalry game, the theme is let’s worry about today. On Tuesday, it will be worry about Tuesday.” “I am really proud of the guys for staying with it,” said Red Storm lineman David Sullivan, as both teams had to deal with heat and cramping issues which, along with a plethora of flags, led to a third quarter which lasted 63 minutes in actual time. “To come out here on opening day and play this way to give it our best was great,” Sullivan added. “The focus was outstanding and this o-line is like a family.” “It was a hard game but we knew we had to stay focused,” said Red Storm back Jarrett Ashton, who ran for 153 yards and two scores. “We knew AuSable would come out and play hard

What would my teammates say about me? They probably call me bossy. I like to tell them what they need to do if they aren’t doing it. I think they know that I want them to do it because I want them to get better.

and our whole goal was to win today.” Will Coats, who started at quarterback for the first time after transferring to AVCS, said he was nervous leading up to the game. “It got better as I focused in on practice and doing the little things right,” he said. “It wasn’t smooth and it took a long time to finish out, but we are happy to get the win.” Coats threw for 102 yards on 11-of-17 passing, while Patriots quarterback Dalton McDonald threw for 232 yards and one interception on 13-of-39 passing attempts. “I expected some mental mistakes, but we made some we have gone over and over and we shouldn’t be making them,” Patriots head coach Ed McAllister said. “I know we are going to have lapses when you start five sophomores, I think I need to do a better job with conditioning and making sure everyone knows their assignments.” McAllister said the opening weekend loss has ramifications in the Class C playoff picture. “If Saranac Lake beats Saranc next Saturday, we have to beat Saranac twice if we want to defend our title,” he said. While the Chiefs and Red Storm will face off in a Saturday Matinee Sept. 10, the Patriots will play the Revolutionary Bowl against the Sentinels of Ticonderoga, who have not lost on the AVCS turf in seven tries, included a 21-12 “home-away-fromhome” victory over Beekmantown Sept. 2.

A look around at the action from last week; plus a look ahead at the big games to come By Keith Lobdell

he fall 2016 sports season is well underway, and we could not be happier! Last week brought a number of preseason tournaments, from the Be The Match Fall Classic and Frankie Garrow Memorial tournaments at Chazy to the Pizza Hut Shootout at Northeastern Clinton and the Saranac tournament. At these tournaments, there may have been some early indications how things will go in the soccer world this season. 1. Chazy boys are back: They didn’t go away, but a loss in the sectional Class D semifinals is not a successful year in the eyes of this program. Heck, a loss in the Class D state finals isn’t either for the seven time state champs. However, after defeating two state-caliber squads in Plattsburgh High School (defending Class B state champ) and Beekmantown (2015 state finalist in Class B), both in shutout fashion, the Eagles looked poised to make another run in what again will be a deep Section VII/Class D field. 2. Griffins will soar and roar: About 15 years ago I went down this road before, so I should not be surprised to see it happen again. A then ELCS Lions team coach by Paul Buehler which had lost eight starters to graduation came out strong the next year, basing their success on sound fundamentals and field concepts. Now, here they are again, with the now Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins eight starters down and removed from a state championship game appearance, and they looked impressive in their second place showing at the NCCS tournament. So, why are these two observations together? Because the Eagles and Griffins will open the regular season of the Northern Soccer Leagues’ Division II schedule on Thursday, Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m. at Camp Dudley in the soccer game of the week. It will be the third straight game where the Eagles have played a team who has played for a state title over the past two years (Chazy having been co-champions in 2015). 3. Ticonderoga should never leave Clintonville: Or figure out a way to take their field to Ti. 7-0. That is the Ticonderoga Sentinels record over the past season and one game on a field located 58 miles away from Ticonderoga Central School. After scoring a 21-12 comeback win against the Beekmantown Eagles Sept. 2 in their first “home game” of the season as they await for the turf to be put down on their native field, the Sentinels will return to Clintonville this week to play in what I am now dubbing, “The Revolutionary Bowl,” as the Sentinels host — I mean — take on the host Patriots. So whose home game is this? 4. Beekmantown Lady Eagles starting strong: The regional finalists from one year ago have their sights set on higher goals, and they are being led by a young lady who can score in cleats or on skates in Kirsten Villemaire. Villemaire tallied three goals to go with three assists in her first two games of 2016 as the Eagles won the Chazy Fall Classic last week. Beekmantown now opens the regular season with a pair of home games against Peru (Wednesday, Sept. 7) and Northeastern Clinton (Friday, Sept. 9), with a road trip to AuSable Valley looming to start the new week Sept. 12. 5. There�s no place like home: In the opening week of the CVAC football season, the home team was a perfect 4-0 — see above, we’re including Ticonderoga in this — as Plattsburgh High, the afore mentions Sentinels, Saranac Lake and Peru all won on scheduled as the team in the non-white uniforms. The biggest win in this group has to be Plattsburgh High, as the Hornets did away with a losing streak that dated back to the opening weekend of 2012 in scoring a 33-0 victory over Saranac. It has been a work in progress for Patrick Keleher and his squad, but scoring a win on opening night is exactly what the program needed to keep it’s spirits high as they prepare to play Moriah Friday night.

Boreas

From page 1 “All roadways and lands are open to hiking, hunting, trapping, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing except for oneacre around leased (hunting) camps. “All of the lands are open to camping provided campsites are more than 150-feet from any roadway or body of water, but at this time no specific tent sites have been designated.” DEC and the town of North Hudson have established a total of eight parking areas, some large enough to park horse trailers, Moore said. The Town of North Hudson was contracted by DEC to build five of the parking lots. “There are two on Elk Lake and two across from the Hoffman Notch Trail off of Blue Ridge (Road). You go up further at Gulf Brook Road, and we are building another parking area that is a loop, for a larger vehicle, like a trailer for horses,” Moore said. The parking areas and interim use plan do not indicate what DEC and APA will recommend for classification, Moore said. “This interim plan has nothing to do with future state landuse classification.” But it does allow people to begin to explore the area once used by Finch Pruyn as its corporate retreat. “People have been accessing it all along for hiking and for biking,” Moore said. “It would be great to be able to get closer to the ponds. I drove in yesterday as far as you can go. It’s about 3.2 miles from Blue Ridge to the gate. “From there, if you wanted to canoe, you’d have to take your canoe or kayak on wheels or carry it another 3.5 miles to get to the ponds.” If DEC allowed motor vehicle access to LaBier Flow it would be only a mile carry, roughly, to the ponds, Moore said. “At Labier Flow, you could actually put in and paddle up. Otherwise you’d have to walk close to a mile.” With onset of the busy fall hiking, biking and paddling season, Moore said this plan could draw traffic off of the busy, often overcrowded, High Peaks region directly north. “This Interim Plan is a start, especially given the fact that we have bicycling permitted to the ponds and that we have what appear to be quite a few trails for horseback riding,” Moore said. The supervisor is working with a coalition of five towns, which includes Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake and Long Lake, to advance a multi-use recreational plan. Several Adirondack environmental groups are pressing for a more strict Wilderness classification at Boreas, one that could remove roadways and possibly the dam structures. North Hudson’s supervisor expects the APA will start the land-use discussion at its Sept. 15 meeting. “I don’t know if they’ll have their alternatives formed at that point. But if they do, there will be many public hearings.” The five-town coalition is looking for a snowmobile trail along the southern edge of Boreas as part of the embattled Community Connector trail system. DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said they were pleased to open the property with an Interim Plan. “Outdoor enthusiasts of all skills and abilities will now have incredible opportunities to visit and enjoy the newest addition to the Adirondack Forest Preserve,” he said in a news release. There are eight designated parking areas. Three year-round parking areas are set along the Blue Ridge Road between North Hudson and Newcomb at the entrances to Sand Pond Road, Gulf Brook Road and Ragged Mountain Road. These three are the only parking areas designated for parking horse trailers, according to DEC. Two year-round parking areas have been designated along the Elk Lake Road for fishermen, hunters, trappers, and others, DEC announced. And three seasonal parking areas are set up along Gulf Brook Road. But these three will be closed after winter sets in until the end of the spring mud season. “In addition, public parking will be allowed on any point along Blue Ridge Road or Elk Lake Road, except where parked vehicles would block a roadway or gate. There are several miles of suitable public parking along Blue Ridge Road,” DEC said. There has been no formal word yet as to any plan by DEC to incorporate parking or trailheads at the closed Frontier Town property, which is currently owned by Essex County.

ocal songwriter Brent Elizabethtown Vosburg and nationally Social Center renown blues artist Scott Ainsley perform this week on the Arin Burdo > Columnist info@elizabethtownsocialcenter.org Center Lawn! Tuesday, Aug. 16, brings E’town artist Brent Vosburg to the stage. Brent offers a mix of original folk and contemporary country, with humorous commentary in between. The Bronx Bistro will return for Tuesday’s Lawn Concert. We can now verify that almost everything on their menu is delicious because we have now tried almost all of the options. And we are fairly confident that those we have not yet tried are wonderful, too. Scott Ainsley joins us on Wednesday, Aug. 17. Scott is a lifelong student and professional performer of original blues. He is a true master of the old traditions, not just as performer but also as a serious blues historian and storyteller. This concert will be thoroughly enjoyable for all ages. If you love the blues, you will not want to miss this opportunity! All shows begin at 6:30 p.m. Bring your lawn chair. Rain or shine: performances will be on the lawn, but moved indoors if necessary. There is no charge for admission, though donations are appreciated. More details and the full schedule are available on our website and Facebook page. On Thursday, Aug. 18, the North Country Center for Independence is available from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Ellen DuBois offers yoga at 4:15 p.m. Teen Rec hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 3-6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 2-9 p.m. For more information, visit elizabethtownsocialcenter.org or call 873-6408.

he North Country SPCA North Country would like to remind you SPCA that our ‘Portraits for Pets’ fundraiser is ongoing. Donate $50 and Kathy Wilcox > Columnist rollerprincessfrog@yahoo.com receive a keepsake portrait of you or a friend by a local artist! Sittings take place at the Champlain Wine Company in Plattsburgh. Please contact Bill at 834-9227 or at bc@localnet.com to arrange a sitting. Check out our Facebook page for the flyer, which features several of the artist’s portraits. Our featured pet this week is Chief, a Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever-mix who had a very difficult life before he arrived at the shelter. As a result, this big fellow is wary of strangers and needs a long time to become comfortable around new people in his life. He is respectful of other dogs and seems to ignore cats. Once he gets to know you, Chief can be affectionate and playful — we believe he has tremendous potential with the right family. If you are a true dog-lover with patience and willingness to allow Chief the time he needs, we are sure this handsome guy could become your new best friend. Why not stop by and meet him today?
