Teacher arraigned on 22 felony counts

Thompson faces consecutive sentences on spying charges

New Champlain National Bank CEO brings years of regulatory experience to Willsboro

By Pete DeMola

WILLSBORO — Several weeks after his arrival, Steven Cacchio, the new President and CEO of Champlain National Bank, is settling into the community quite nicely. “It’s a tremendous town,” said Cacchio of Willsboro. “It’s very welcoming and I’m Pete enjoying it very much.” DeMola Writer Cacchio came to the Champlain Valley most recently from Danbury, Connecticut, where he served as the COO of the Savings Bank of Danbury. Before that, he put in stints at Alliance Bank and as a bank examiner for the Comptroller of the Currency in their Syracuse office. That office charters, regulates and supervises national banks. It was an experience that has given Cacchio the skills to navigate the ongoing regulatory changes in today’s banking climate, including those affecting small community institutions like Champlain National. On Oct. 3, another will come down the pipeline governing initial disclosures on mortgage lending. While working with vendors to work and make those changes requires significant time and expense, said Cacchio,

ELIZABETHTOWN — Willsboro resident and Westport teacher John “Jack” Thompson was arraigned on 22 felony counts of unlawful surveillance in the second degree on Friday in Elizabethtown. Thompson, 50, pled not guilty. The 22 surveillance counts cover a five-day time period from March 28 to April 2. According to court documents, Thompson installed imaging devices to secretly view a person dressing or undressing, or displaying their sexual parts, at his home. Three counts stem from March 28; two from March 30; nine from March 31; four from April 1 and four from April 2.

it’s easier if you have an experienced hand on the tiller. Board Chairman Peter Paine applauded Cacchio’s decision to join the team. “His breadth of experience and sound judgment will be of great value to us as we face the challenges that confront the community banking world in the years ahead,” said Paine in a statement. When this opportunity came up, Cacchio jumped at the chance to dive into community banking, particularly at an institution with such deep roots. Champlain National Bank was founded in 1909 in Essex County and continues to be locally owned and managed. Unlike federal or national banks, said the newcomer, decisions at community banks are made at the local level. “We live, work and really understand communities we >> Story Continued | pg. 15

Thompson attorney Reginald Bedell declined to have each of the counts read to his client. Franklin County Acting District Attorney Glenn MacNeill requested Thompson’s bail amount be raised to $15,000 cash, or $30,000 bond, a request Judge Kevin Ryan ultimately denied on the grounds that Thompson met his previous court dates and has long ties to the region. Due the number of counts, and the potential for consecutive sentences if found guilty, Thompson posed a flight risk, argued MacNeill. Thompson has no equity on his home, said Bedall, has been suspended without pay from Westport Central School from his job as a social studies teacher since his >> Story Continued | pg. 10

Shirley Seney, first female mayor, supervisor, passes By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH ELBA — Shirley Seney, the first female mayor of the village of Lake Placid and North Elba Supervisor, passed away Sept. 9 at the age of 83. Seney, who was born Feb. 11, 1932, was a lifetime staple in North Elba, graduating from Lake Placid High School in 1950. Former Willsboro supervisor and New York State Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward first met Seney when they served together as members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, which Seney was a member of between 1996 and 2007. “She was a firecracker,” Sayward said. “She always had a wit about her that could defuse any situation. She was loyal and hardworking for her community, fiercely fighting to make

sure they got their fair share in whatever it was being discussed at county.” Sayward said Seney was a key supporter when she decided to move from her supervisor chair into state-wide office. “If there was an issue I could help with or she could help me with, we would talk,” she said. “She was always supporting and encouraging having more women involved in politics. I enjoyed every minute I worked with her.” Seney started her career in public service in 1974, when she served on the Lake Placid School Board of Education, of which she was president in 1974 and 1978. She also served as a member of the Essex County School Board Association and part of the board of directors for the Rural School Boards Association. Seney was a member of the Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee from 1976

through the 1980 games, being the only female among the original signers of the deal with the IOC. “She was a first in a lot of things,” Sayward said. “She was always out doing something for her community.” Four years later, Seney became a member of the village board, a position she held until 1990. In 1987, she was named director of the state Association of Women’s Officials. In 1993, Seney was elected the first female mayor of Lake Placid, a position she held until 1997. She became the first female supervisor in North Elba in 1996. To honor her, Seney was inducted into the Lake Placid Hall of Fame in 2009. In 2014, Sen. Betty Little presented her with the Woman of Distinction, Honoring Women in New York. “She is someone who will be missed greatly by the community,” Sayward said.

Shirley Seney, right, was honored by New York State Sen. Betty Little, left, last year with the Woman of Distinction Honoring Women in New York award. Little nominated Seney for the honor.

Library receives grant for new books

WE’RE BACK! Westport Central School faculty and staff welcomed students and parents back to school as part of a special event on Sept. 2.

AU SABLE FORKS — The Au Sable Forks Free Library recently received a generous “Books for Children” grant from the Libri Foundation in Eugene, Oregon. The library received 78 books, many of them non-fiction, with a total value of $1,400. An additional award, donated by Libri Foundation private supporters, purchased $350 worth of new math and science titles. A foundation donor contributed $350 to cover the library’s matching fund portion of the grant. The books, published within the past four years, were selected by the library director from lists of hundreds of titles provided by the Libri Foundation. While the majority of the titles are non-fiction, there are also some highly recommended children’s and young adult novels. Library Director Alison Follos said, “The library is fortunate to receive these new books and they are a terrific boon to our children’s collection. When the books arrived, we found out that we received another grant for science and math titles; that was an unexpected bonus. With school starting, the timing and the impact of this grant could not be better.”

Wadhams pavilion pals prep for party Community picnic slated for Sunday By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WADHAMS — With summer fast fading in the rearview, Wadhams now has a new place to perch as autumn’s first tendrils wrap themselves around the countryside. A community pavilion at the local playground. Work on the do-it-yourself project is set to commence this week as workers tighten the final bolts. It’s a prime place to BBQ, said project spokesperson Sheera Broderick. The new space includes a six-foot wide grill with three sections and four picnic tables, perfect for large groups. A community picnic will be held to commemorate the project on Sunday, Sept. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. The project, which began in spring, wouldn’t be possible without people coming together, said Broderick. Folks like Joe Dougal, Mark Hall, Ryan Burns, John Pribble, Sean Kullman, Paul Stephens, Kathy Kelley and the Westport Town Board and Department of Public Works all contributed their unique talents to build the structure. A local Westport Central student, Chloe Mitchell, even donated her time as part of National Honor Society requirements. Three groups assisted with the funding: The Honeybee Community Fund, Stewart’s Shops and Friends of Westport Youth. The remainder came from the annual duck derby and community donations through the local fire department. “It’s pretty incredible,” said Broderick, citing volunteers who came from as far away as Keene Valley to donate their time and talents. “People are just really excited about it and it’s

wonderful to have so many volunteers. “I’m very pleased with the way it turned out.” At one point, Wadhams was starting to die out, said Broderick. The mill closed and the population followed. But it’s coming back. A group of younger guys is starting to bolster ranks at the fire department and an auxiliary has also been recently founded. Families with young children are also returning to the community, something that makes a big difference. “There is a lot more kids getting on that school bus than there used to be,” said Broderick.

Countywide coalition aims to raise suicide prevention awareness By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Thirty backpacks dotted the lawn of the Essex County Government Center last week. Each represented a local suicide victim who committed the deed between 2011-14. The provocative display was part of an effort to raise awareness of the issue as part of National Suicide Prevention Week. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide rates in the United States are the highest that they’ve been in a quarter century. With a rate of 25 per 1,000, Essex County boasts double the national average of 12.6 percent (and triple the state average of 8 percent). For every suicide that is reported, many more remain shrouded in darkness. It doesn’t have to be this way, said Essex County Mental Health Services Director Steve Valley. Essex County’s numbers are similar to other rural areas across the country, where isolation throws up significant barriers between access, treatment, care and overall awareness, he said. Valley is part of a new coalition that is working to provide residents and organizations with a number of training exercises to combat the issue, including mental health first aid programs for students and the facilitation of a half-day workshop, SafeTALK, designed to raise awareness of signs that someone is con-

sidering killing themselves. Those include a change in sleep patterns, extreme mood swings, discussing feelings of rage, hopeless and the desire to no longer be a burden on others, among others. At the event, which unfolded on a steamy Tuesday afternoon, a group of combat vets milled about and chatted with participants, their motorcycles lined up at the curb. Harry Treadway said while suicide is a major issue for all veterans, Vietnam vets have some of the highest numbers in the country, with some 100,000 having taken their own lives. It’s nearly double the number of those who have died in combat. War is isolating, said the veteran, who returned from Vietnam in 1970. Several of his pals have committed suicide. “Once you leave a war zone, you leave your buddies, you leave everything that you’re used to and you change,” said Treadway. “And when you come home, people look at you differently because you have changed.” People don’t understand why you’re not the same friendly guy you once were; why you don’t want to be in crowds — why you prefer to sit with your back to the wall. While the conflict ended 40 years ago, the scars remain for many vets who have trouble reintegrating back into society. The same goes for veterans of current conflicts, said Treadway. While the vet said he hates to blame all

mental issues on post-traumatic stress disorder, a fair amount of vets face symptoms connected to the illness, including insomnia and nightmares. “There’s a whole gamut of things that make the veteran very uneasy,” said Treadway. Recognizing the signs is important, he said. But he would also like to see some basic reforms when it comes to accessibility. backpacks, each representing a local suicide victim, dotted the lawn The national 1-800 sui- Thirty of the Essex County Government Center in Elizabethtown last week as part cide hotline pushed by the of an event designed to raise awareness for suicide prevention.

Respect for Joe

oliticians, as we’ve seen over and over again will do and say almost anything during a campaign, or even in the run up to a campaign. Yet last week we saw a candidate who could easily take command of the Democratic race just by throwing his hat into the ring. Without even announcing a run, speculation alone has Vice President Joe Biden polling at 20 percent behind Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders. Vice President Biden finds himself in a difficult spot. Early speculation last year had him contemplating a run for the presidency in 2016, but the recent loss of his son Beau changed all that when the younger Biden died of brain cancer. During an appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert the emotional interview with Biden turned to the 2016 race and the possibility of a Biden candidacy. Biden’s honest and pain filled predicament could not have been more plainly stated. “I don’t think any man or woman should run for president unless they, number one, know exactly why they want to be president and, two, they can look at folks out there and say, �I promise you, you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy and my passion to do this.’ I’d be lying if I said I knew that I was there,” Biden told Colbert. Biden spent much of the interview talking about Beau and how he’s dealt with the loss of his son and, years earlier, with the loss of his first wife and baby daughter in a car accident. During the conversation, the vice president repeatedly looked down at his hands, cleared his throat and otherwise indicated he was still somewhat emotionally raw. No one votes for a candidate based on pity, but Vice President Biden is well liked and well respected both for the person he is and his distinguished political career on both sides of the isle. Given the turmoil within the Democratic party Biden would seem to be a sure bet for the nomination given Mrs. Clinton’s difficulties and the concern over Sander’s Socialist leanings. You have to respect a man who is honest enough to decline chasing what has been a long time dream to become president and have that dream within his grasp and yet be sincere enough to put the country and his family ahead of his ambition. That’s a very good trait for a politician and one that makes him even more desirable for the job. Dan Alexander is president and CEO of Sun Community News.

Vandalism out of control in the North Country T

hroughout the course of this summer, acts of vandalism have been cropping up throughout the North Country. Signs knocked over, stages ripped open, tombstones smashed, bricks stolen — all these acts need to be addressed and those responsible have to be held accountable for their actions. This destructive and childish behavior has got to end. Let’s look at Plattsburgh for example. Just last week on Sept. 7, an act of vandalism left a large canopy purchased by the First Weekends committee on the hook for $5,000. Erected just few days prior, the green and white striped band shell awning was found with a 8-foot-long gash along its left side. This band shell was put up for the purpose of entertaining the community at an affordable cost. Vandalizing it not only sabotages the tent, but the community itself. In another instance of senseless vandalism, during Fourth of July weekend, about 100 tombstones were found overturned and broken at Riverside Cemetery. Repairing and replacing the 65 vandalized headstones — some dating back to the 1700s — was expected to cost upward of $15,000. This isn’t the first time Riverside has been vandalized. Within the past six years, it’s been hit at least three times. Cemeteries may not be the most attractive thing to look at, but you have to think of the people who have family members buried in that cemetery. Just ask yourself, would you want to visit your family member’s grave and see it smashed to pieces on the ground? Many people work hard to keep these final resting places clean and presentable, not for the deceased or themselves, but the family member who would’ve wanted it that way. Now, let’s look at Mooers for another example. At the last town board meeting on Sept. 8, the council brought up an issue about increased graffiti on the Mooers Volunteer Fire Department’s pump house. Over the course of the summer, the graffiti has gotten worse and the pump house has gotten the brunt of it. You would think people would have more respect for our local heroes who volunteer and risk their lives for the sake of the community. Throughout this summer, the Mooers Free Library has also been victim to numerous acts of vandalism. At the library, a summer reading program sign was zip tied to two benches in the front yard with a piece of wood on the back for support.

On Sept. 2, library workers found the sign on the ground that had been pulled out with one of the zip ties cut and the support piece of wood thrown under a tree. Luckily, the sign wasn’t broken. Also, someone or a group of people have been taking bricks from the library stairs throughout the course of the summer. If kids are the culprit of this, they’re only hurting themselves. The Mooers Free - emphasis on the free - Library offers children of all ages a place to come together after school or on Saturdays, hang out with classmates or friends, use the free WiFi and be exposed to different and new things. The library strives to offer a variety of programs for kids in order to give them something to do when they’re not in school. They also don’t mind when kids show up and sit outside just to use the free WiFi - a rarity in many small communities. Why someone or a number of people are knocking over signs, tearing bandshells, smashing gravestones or writing graffiti on the walls baffles us and stands in stark contrast to the community spirit of the North Country. North Country communities only have the ability to offer just so much and when someone ruins that rare offering, it takes a toll not only on residents of Plattsburgh and Mooers, but the towns surrounding them. Vandalism is a senseless crime against us all. They say it takes a community to raise a child — the same holds true for ending vandalism. We are convinced that someone in our readership area know the person or persons who committed these acts. They need to be identified to authorities and need to be held financially accountable. Then, they should be sentenced to community service to fully understand just how deeply their actions undermine the community pride and spirit that holds our North Country neighborhoods together.

100th celebration a success

Teddy Bear Picnic returns

To the Editor: While this is the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Whallonsburg Grange, we think the last six years have been pretty great, too. In 2009, a group of dedicated local residents, led by Ted Cornell, approached Adirondack Foundation to accept charitable contributions from the public to help carry out the first phase of the renovation; we called it the Whallonsburg Grange Building Project. Between March and December of 2009, 71 gifts were made totaling $60,000. During that time, the Civic Association reformed and ignited the lively community hub it is today. In 2009, a personal note from the Civic Association to Adirondack Foundation said, “The renovation would not have been possible without your help.” We feel the same way about you and your role revitalizing the Champlain Valley. Thank you for everything that you do. Best wishes for the next 100 years.

To the Editor: The Kiwanis Club of Lake Placid will hold their popular children’s festival Teddy Bear Picnic at the Kiwanis Hillcrest village Park Sunday, Sept. 20. Registration will open at 11 a.m. with the parade forming at the Hillcrest entrance to the park at 11:30 a.m. ready to proceed through the parade route after the opening ceremonies. The Theme for the Teddy Bear Picnic this year will be “Follow the Leader.” The Kiwanis Club feels that this event will acquaint children with the role of leader and follower through games and other activities. We are inviting all followers (regardless of age, who think they have a special leader, to participate in the parade with a sign honoring their leader. The signs will be judged and the leader recognized. This year two Grand Marshalls have been chosen for the parade. They are both leaders.

With primaries (mostly) in the rearview, parties focus on mobilizing voters

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Despite the results of one major countywide race still hanging in the balance, candidates and party officials say they’re primed to get out the vote ahead of this November’s general election. Essex County Republican Committee Chair Shaun Gillilland said the party plans on building a concentrated, double-pronged effort to ensure success at the ballot box. The first part of that is getting the town committees to register as many new Republicans as they can before the deadline of Oct. 3. After that, it’s all about driving these new voters to the polls. The committee will meet Sept. 16 to forge a strategy designed to maximize voter participation, said Gillilland. Developing such an effort has been one of his top priorities since taking office last year, he said. Historically, the party has relied on a combination of poll-watching, phone calls and outreach with town committees to win races. “It’s really a local grassroots effort,” said Gillilland. “If you have a good organization that can do that, it’s very effective. Now that the slate is set, the immediate battle is to get as many voters out as possible.” Gillilland hailed committees in St. Armand, Chesterfield, Ticonderoga and North Elba as being

particularly robust. But despite the local excitement, which includes competitive races for county judge and county clerk, this year’s election does mark an off-year, noted the chair. Since off-years are often plagued by low turnout, these grassroots efforts are critical to winning races, said Gillilland. Hopefully, this year’s excitement will create tailwinds that can be sustained into next year’s general election, said Gillilland, which includes state and local races alongside a referendum on the district’s federal representative, Elise Stefanik (RWillsboro), who was elected in a 23 point landslide last November. Essex County Democratic Committee Vice Chair Margaret Bartley said they, too, plan a sophisticated effort, a mix of social media paired with phone calls, meet and greets, door-to-door campaigning and other GOTV efforts. It’s important for the voters to have a choice, she stressed. Republicans outnumber Democrats in Essex County by about 2 to 1. The math doesn’t daunt Bartley, who chalks it up, in part, to ingrained habits that historically saw county voters enroll in the GOP for job stability. In fact, said Bartley, the number of registered Republicans is declining in Essex County in favor of those who are opting to remain independent.

Bartley referred to the fastest growing voter group in Essex County as “the blanks,” or those without party memberships. “Many of these are young Essex County residents who are independent in their thinking and make up their own minds,” said Bartley. Bartley said Democrats have been “very successful” in reaching younger voters in North Elba, Keene, Essex and Ticonderoga — towns that are seeing an influx of twenty-somethings — and hailed the party’s countywide candidates, Brian Barrett and Luke Hudak, and their teams of young volunteers that have been successful in reaching their peers. Barrett, who is running for county judge, and Hudak, running for clerk, will face Republican incumbents Richard Meyer and Joseph Provoncha this fall. “The involvement of smart, hardworking young candidates who are willing to challenge the current incumbents means our towns and county will be better served in the years to come,” said Bartley in an email. “Competition is what makes us strong, in sports, in education and in politics.” The party will also rely on traditional mailers, endorsements, yard signs, letters of support and newspaper and radio ads. “This is the kind of effort and hard work that a contested race requires,” she said. “Running for office is not easy.”

Essex County judge primary hangs on single vote Race hinges on 10 absentee ballots By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Conservative Party primary race for Essex County Judge is hanging by one vote. With 100 percent of precincts reporting after polls closed last Thursday, Brian Barrett had a onevote lead over incumbent Richard Meyer: 43-42. Essex County is home to 207 registered Conservative Party members. Eighty-five cast their ballots on Thursday, according to initial numbers provided by the Essex County Board of Elections, which has not yet called the race. Acting Essex County Conservative Party Chair Bill McGahay said late Thursday it was too close to call. McGahay said he didn’t expect the race to be resolved before daybreak. Several absentee ballots have been received, he said, while others are pending. “There could be challenges to the absentees, as well such as residency and timeliness,” said McGahay. Absentee ballots can be received until Sept. 17. The Board of Elections will review them, and determine a winner, on Friday. Essex County Republican Commissioner Allison McGahay said 10 in total had been sent out. In the event of a tie, the state executive committee will meet to nominate and authorize a candidate, said New York State Conservative Party Executive Director Shaun Marie. Ballots must be set by Oct. 2. Barrett, reached by phone shortly before midnight Thursday, said he was pleased with the initial count. “We gotta wait until it’s over,” he said.

Barrett said the close race demonstrates that at least half of Conservative Party voters want change. “That speaks volumes to what’s going to happen on Nov. 3,” said Barrett, referring to the general election. The candidate also noted that he overcame a series of obstacles, including a lack of endorsement from Conservative Party brass. Meyer received the party’s endorsement in 2005. Following the contest, he thanked party members for taking time to vote. “I deeply appreciate those who voted for me, as well as all of the other people who worked hard for me and have supported my re-election effort,” said Meyer. Both candidates will appear on the ballot this fall. Barrett has received the endorsement of the Democrats; Meyer, the Republican Party. OTHER CONTESTS In other primary contests, Philip Pray beat Darwin Nolan 140-35 in the race for Chesterfield Superintendent of Highways. In Lewis, Lanita Smith Canavan and Stephen Denton, Jr. bested Jeff Scott in a three-way Republican primary for town council, while Kevin Denton handily beat Herb Clark in the race for Lewis Superintendent of Highways with a vote of 87-23. Since Clark did not file to run as an independent, the race is effectively over barring a write-in challenge. North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore easily fended off a challenge from Bruce Caza. Stephanie DeZalia and Maureen Marsden were the top two vote-getters in the Republican primary for two town council seats. Incumbent Donald Dresser and Brian Caza were also on the primary ballot. DeZalia received 58 votes; Marsden, 36; Dresser, 31 and Caza, 27. All four candidates also circulated independent

petitions and will appear on the general election ballot in November. Also too close to call is the race between Paul Sharkey and David Iuliano for Ticonderoga Superintendent of Highways. On Tuesday, the day this story went to print, that race remained at 60-58 in Iuliano’s favor. Four absentee ballots were issued for that race. On Monday, Chesterfield Democrats held a caucus to determine their candidates. They include incumbents Gerald Morrow for town supervisor, Joseph Kusalonis for town councilman and Bruce Bourgeois for tax collector. Democrats also selected Darwin Nolan, a Republican, to run against Philip W. Pray for the highway superintendent position.

The Port Henry Knights of Columbus Council 384 held a benefit turkey dinner with proceeds going to High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care. The dinner and donations raised $725 to help support hospice services for the terminally ill throughout our local communities. We would like to thank all those who attended. Chuck Kolodzey, Grand Knight (on left), and Nappy Marcotte, Deputy Grand Knight, presented the check to High Peaks Hospice’s Development Coordinator, Ingrid Roemischer.

Little Bits Old cereals Gordie Little

hat did you have for breakfast today? While chewing crunchy cereal covered with sliced banana, blueberries and milk, I looked over at Kaye and asked what she ate as a child in Saranac Lake. “Oatmeal,” she responded, “Lots and lots of oatmeal. My father made it and it was terrible. It was so thick and gross that the spoon could stand straight up in it.” I liked cinnamon toast with homemade bread, cooked on one of those old fashioned folding gizmos that you put on top of the open stove flame. Of course, we also had waffles on that ancient cast iron cooker and you had to use a pot holder to grab the hot handle and flip them over. Pancakes were also special because my mom would always use the end of the batter to make me a pancake gingerbread man. We were poor, but still knew how to whine and get what we wanted. My brother Jim and I always wanted the latest cold cereal advertised with singing jingles on our favorite radio programs. I remember one called “Pep.” It was “the peppy bran food.” Another was “Shredded Ralston” and the jingle has stuck in my brain since the 1930s: “Shredded Ralston for your breakfast starts the day off shining bright, gives you lots of cowboy energy with a flavor that’s just right….. Shredded Ralston can’t be beat.” I’ll bet you remember “the cereal shot from guns;” “Kid tested Mother approved;” “Two scoops of raisins;” or “Snap! Crackle! Pop!” And, if there was something to cut out on the back of the box, or a special item we could order that required ten cents and a box top, we were all over it. Breakfast cereals date to the 19th century and were touted as keeping you healthy. Some are still. Kaye and I love oatmeal and other hot cereals on cold winter mornings. I cover mine with the bananas and berries. I add pure maple syrup made lovingly by my friends. Talk about a comfort food! I don’t have to tell you that the world is changing and choices at breakfast are among those fast-altering preferences. Ham and eggs and bacon? I’ll take them any time, and often do on Sunday mornings after church. Many of the cereals we cherished as kids over a half-century ago, are long gone, but you will notice dozens more on your grocery shelves. They still say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so stand back while I chow down. Columnist Gordie Little is a weekly contributor to Denton Publications.

any factors contribute to the time when our Adirondack trees turn the red, yellow and orange colors we adore. Months earlier, it is nearly impossible to predict the exact shades or time the leaves will change and our green forests turn the autumn colors that bring them so much attention. I have read that cool nights, how much rain has covered the limbs and roots of our trees and a whisper of magic are part of the formula.

12TH Annual Festival of the Colors

Out of the Attic Antique Appraisal Everyone has something; maybe

Can You See What Pauline Sees?

Medium Pauline O’Connell will make an appearance at the Charles R. Wood Theater in Glens Falls on Sept. 18. A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m. with a show to follow at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $35 per person. All proceeds benefit WAIT House for homeless youth. Call 480-4878 for details.

Essex County Children’s Consignment Swap Sale

If you have something tiny that doesn’t fit your child or you are in search of items your child/children will love you should head over to the EliabethtownLewis Central School on Sept. 26 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the Yearbook Club in Elizabethtown. Call 873-6371 for details.

Golf for the United Way of the Adirondack Region

I bet you still have a couple of rounds of golf in you, before winter sets in. Sept. 19, will mark the 15th annual UPS Plattsburgh/United Way Golf Tournament at The Barracks Golf Course in Plattsburgh. The shotgun start is at roughly 12:30 p.m. for this four person scramble. Price $60 per person includes golf, cart, BBQ and skins. $10 for each additional meal. For details call Kim Budwick at 562-3100. Make checks payable to the United Way.

Can You Dig It?

The exhibit, on record covers, began in June of this year and will close on Oct. 11. This community exhibition incorporates more than 80 album covers, from 1965 to 1989, on loan from local popular music lovers. A number of artists designed the covers, including Andy Warhol. The exhibit can be viewed at the Hyde Museum in Glens Falls. Call 792-1761 or go to www.hydecollection.org for information. I would love to hear what you are planning, and my delight will not be based on the leaves having turned red, orange and yellow at the time. However, we all know, when it happens, it will be beautiful. You have my word on it� Have an event you’d like featured in my column� Email me at linda@suncommunitynews.com

Michelle Preston, who organizes the Festival of Colors isn’t particularly concerned about what the color of the leaves is on the day of the festival she has been organizing for the last 10 years. Michelle said, “If the colors are here, we’ll celebrate them. If they haven’t turned yet, we’ll be urging them along!” With the list of activities, and breadth of items offered by the vendors at the festival, the color of the leaves will be a minor detail. Children will be delighted with the face and pumpkin painting, the clown — Pipsqueak, horse rides, scarecrow building contests and the Touch-a-Truck displays made available by several of the area’s service organizations. Vendors will be selling a variety of items, including: sewn hand bags, blankets, quilts, paintings, rustic furniture and signs. Food trucks will be selling everything from fried dough & popcorn to Michigan’s & fries; even beer and brats will be part of the fun. In past years, there was a pie contest. This year they have added a little spice to the cooking event. Registrations are already flowing in for the Fire on the Mountain—Chili Challenge. With all this, and live musical performances between 1 – 4 p.m., everyone should be happy, and well fed by the time they depart—few will give the color of the leaves a second thought. To get the full list of scheduled events, slated between 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. go to Whiteface Region.com or contact Michelle Preston at 946-8855. The festival is Sept. 19, at the Festival Field, on Springfield Road in Wilmington. Admission is free with a small fee for the horse rides.

it’s Aunt Mildred’s tea set, or the fire truck your dad had as a kid, possibly a massive Beanie Baby collection. Whatever it is, dust it off and bring it in. On Sept. 26, appraisers will let you know the value, and hopefully give you a history lesson at the same time. Each item appraised is $5. Because each person has a four item limit, you should probably leave the Baby Beanie collection at home. Plattsburgh Recreation Center, Plattsburgh, NY Details 518-561-0640

arrest on April 4 on one count of felony unlawful surveillance in the second degree. Bedell said his client has been cooperative. When Thompson was first aware of the charges while in Florida on a class trip, he called the Essex County District Attorney’s office and offered to turn himself in. Furthermore, said Bedall, “this all comes out of one incident.” Ryan set a pretrial conference date of Oct. 8.

“I completely understand the public reaction,” said Boula. “However, we will be landscaping the property after construction is final. I think that the community will be very supportive of the project and its aesthetic appearance within the community.” The 25-bed facility last saw a major expansion in 2007 when the emergency and radiology departments were renovated. Work is scheduled to be complete on the latest project in July 2017.

Bedall said his client would not have a problem checking in with the county probation department weekly and attending future appearances, including teleconference calls. Thompson, dressed in a light blue shirt and tan slacks, appeared downcast throughout the brief proceedings. He arrived 30 minutes early and sat quietly in the back row of the courtroom. Thompson remains employed at Westport Central, but has an order of protection against him from entering the building. Following the proceedings, he briefly conversed with Bedall before leaving the courthouse.

Thompson declined to talk to a reporter. “No comment,” he said, walking quickly to his car. An E felony carries a penalty of from 1 to 4 years in prison. Thompson also pled not guilty to one count of unlawful dealing with a child in the first degree, a class E misdemeanor. According to court documents, Thompson gave, or caused to be given, alcoholic beverages to a person under the age of 21. MacNeill was appointed special prosecutor after Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague recused herself from the case, citing a conflict of interest, said MacNeill.

to do their jobs in the appropriate healing environment.” Surgery starts this fall. The addition of the inpatient unit will expand 20 feet out toward Park Street. Currently, the hospital has 14 rooms with 25 beds. While the number of total beds won’t change, the number of rooms will be bumped to 18, seven of which can flex to double occupancy when required. Hospital officials hope to construct an external shell before the snow flies. Construction will then move inside for the winter. Hooper said while some discomforts will be unavoidable — namely noise and blocked windows — patient comfort and privacy will remain paramount. “Bear with us for a year,” said Hooper. “The benefits are going to be so incredible on the other end.” Site preparation is scheduled to begin this week with the removal of bushes and the halfdozen pines and maples that line Park Street south of the facility. Hospital officials acknowledge that the tree removal may generate strong emotions within the community. CEO Rod Boula said as a lifelong Adirondack resident, outdoors enthusiast and all-around community booster, he hates to see trees removed.

Au Sable Forks Fire Department moves forward with expansion plans

Design specs for first phase of project to be produced by mid-October By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

AU SABLE FORKS — Progress on the Au Sable Forks Fire Department’s project to renovate their station is humming along like a fireman sliding down an old-timey pole. Last month, voters unanimously approved bonding up to $450,000 for the three-phase effort, which will give the aging structure a total overhaul. That allowed the department to ink a contract with AES Northeast, who will produce design specs by Oct. 15. After that, the project will be put out to bid. Board of Commissioners Chair Louis Garso said the department was pleased with the 37-0 turnout. “It says something,” said Garso. “They have the confidence in what we’re doing. If they didn’t, you’d know they’d be there in droves.” The vote unlocked $400,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds. The additional $50,000 is designed to cover possible overruns. So far, the department has already spent $28,000 on the project. Taxes will not be bumped, said Garso. The first phase includes roof and electrical system repairs, the installation of a new heating system and the correction

of numerous code deficiencies. Bathrooms will also be made is to raise $3,000. handicap accessible. Garso hoped for a strong turnout. Officials hope work will be completed by Feb. 2016. “We need the public’s support to maintain our Christmas Additional phases will tackle space issues, including stor- program,” said Garso. “We’re looking to replenish our Christage for trucks, equipment and radio gear. mas coffers.” Despite these massive changes for the blue collar fire station, life continues as usual. With fall just around the corner, the department is already looking ahead to the annual Christmas on the Forks celebration, the hamlet’s popular holiday bash that sees the streets come alive with a dose of old-fashioned holiday cheer. Each business and organization in the community plays a role. The fire department is responsible for the lights that cast the town in a brilliant glow. But the elements present a challenge. “They take an awful lot of pounding out there in the snow, wind and ice,” said Garso.

Russian Duo, ‘Concert for a Cure’ events coming to Essex By Pete DeMola

pete @suncommunitynews.com

ESSEX — The Essex Community Concert Series started with a trip to Europe. Twenty years ago, Donald Beggs traveled to Holland to have a pipe organ built. Upon its completion, the handcrafted device was flown back with its creator and installed in the Essex Community Church, the stately stone structure at the center of this historic lakeside hamlet. Beggs left an endowment to the church ensuring its usage for many years into the future, be they religious services or community-organized concerts. A tracker action organ can be a tough unit to play, explained Peggy Staats, a series organizer. Pressing the pedals opens valves that allows air to be blown through the pipe corresponding with each specific note. “It’s work,” she said. While not a particularly rare unit, people come from across the country to give the organ a whirl because the acoustics in the church are so phenomenal, said Staats. The last concert of the season is scheduled for Sept. 25. While the Russian Duo won’t make use of the organ — the acclaimed folk outfit prefer to crank out their traditional tunes through a grand piano and balalaika, a triangle-shaped string instrument — their appearance is a demonstration of

how the series has grown over time to include a larger swath of genres and performers, explained Staats. “He’s phenomenal and does amazing things with this instrument,” said Staats of the balalaikaist, Siberia native Oleg Kruglyakov. With the diversity also comes increased interaction with the community. Prior to their performance, the Russian Duo will participate in three workshops at Willsboro Central. Two other schools, Westport and AuSable Valley, may be added in upcoming days, said Staats. Over the past decade, the concert series has shared music that you wouldn’t ordinarily experience in a small Adirondack town, said Staats, noting local businesses usually see a bump on concert nights, which number about 10 per season. While the series ends with that gig, Staats already has her eye on another, an effort designed to raise funds for cancer research for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. The Concert for a Cure, which is scheduled for Oct. 3 at the Essex Community Church, will feature the Montpelier Gospel Choir performing alongside the Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir Praise Team. Staats’ husband passed away from melanoma earlier this year. Next month’s effort marks Staats’ first attempt to try to help researchers find a cure for the disease.

All donations collected will go toward the center. Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, kills an estimated 9,940 Americans each year. While both outfits are essentially donating their time for the performance, Staats is looking for an organization to match funds. The day prior to the event, the directors of each choir will host workshops for aspiring gospel singers. Participants will be taught two songs and will have the opportunity to sing with the choirs at the concerts. Alongside funds, Staats sees faith as critical to fighting the disease. “We need God in this battle,” said Staats. “Funds will help the researchers, but the researchers need God to guide them in their noble efforts.” Staats hopes participants in the workshop will also pray for a cure. “So many of us have been and will be affected by this disease,” said Staats. “Let’s do all we can do to help each other and future generations. Money is important, but prayers have been known to be even more effective.” The Russian Duo: Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. at The Essex Community Church. Concert for a Cure: Oct. 3 at 5 p.m. RSVPs for the workshop are required. For more info, contact Staats at p.staats21@gmail.com.

He has slowly begun to adjust to his new environment, and we are beginning to see what a truly sweet fellow this gentle giant is. He comes to the front of his cage to be picked up and really enjoys the attention of shelter staff; however, he absolutely HATES other cats and really needs to be in a home where he can be king of his castle. If you are looking for a super-sized kitty to keep you warm on those cold winter nights, Pudd may be just the cat for you. Why not stop by and meet him today?

BACK TO SCHOOL: Dozens of school supply donations, including backpacks, were received at the TFCU Elizabethtown Branch throughout August and were donated to Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School and Westport Central School Tuesday, Sept. 1.

serve,” said Cacchio. Champlain Bank has all of the amenities of larger institutions while offering more flexibility on services like commercial lending, he added. The new chief said he looks forward to getting more involved in the community, including participating in the bank’s long list of charitable events and activities. And, and of course, expansion is key. Cacchio sees Plattsburgh, which already boasts two branches, as a growth market. He looks forward to tackling those challenges while staying committed to smaller communities, including Westport and Keene, where bank hours were recently expanded upon customer request. The leader, who is married with two teenage sons, noted the new location in Lake Placid has been well-received. “We think it’s a great community and one we made a large investment in,” said Cacchio. “We’re committed and understand our roots in local communities.” Cacchio’s selection comes after a long search. Paine thanked interim CEO John Perley, who came out of retirement to lead the bank as officials conducted the search for a new leader. “[Perley’s] leadership during this transition has been critical to the stability and progress of the bank,” Paine said. Cacchio can’t wait to explore Willsboro further. “It’s a nice secret,” he said.
