Honoring theÊ Harvest

WESTPORT — Farmers gathered at the Adirondack Harvest Festival last week in the first of what organizers hope will be an annual event.

An old-fashioned afternoon mixer, the kind once held in weekend Grange Halls Pete all over Essex County, drew a large group DeMola for a showing of two films made by local Editor producers.

Aaron Woolf ’s documentary “King Corn” and Ben Stechschulte’s “Small Farm Rising” looked at both the large-scale and locally scaled food production.

The juxtaposition was daunting, Woolf noted, with billions of federal agricultural dollars allocated for distribution and support of huge farms and vast processing systems.

Even a small percentage of that, if redirected, would benefit the Champlain Valley, said Woolf, who ran for Congress as a Democrat in 2014 and now co-owns the Deer’s Head Inn in Elizabethtown.

In a discussion after the films, farmers featured in Stechschulte’s work reflected on the five years since “Small Farm” was made in 2011.

But the farmers summarized growth since their “rising” in a freewheeling discussion that was equal parts troubleshooting and therapy session as they discussed their lives and some of their most vexing frustrations.

NORTH HUDSON — A new coalition has entered the land classification fray.

As the Adirondack Park Agency sketches out dates for public hearings on the Boreas Ponds and Macintyre Tracts on the southern end of the High Peaks, a group has been formed to lobby for expanded access.

Access Adirondacks, whose formation was announced last week, aims to give a voice to those who founders say have the most riding on the upcoming classification process: local community and business.

The loosely-organized group includes local government officials, landowners, recreational and sportsmen’s organizations, conservation groups, chambers of commerce, citizens and just regular folks.

North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore said the organization aims to serve as a counterpoint to environmental groups calling for more restricted uses of the 20,758-acre tract, which

Car Rally at Marcy Field on tap American Legion Marcy Post 1312 welcomes all for lunch and a look: important fundraiser benefits veterans, childrens’ programs in Keene KEENE — The flat, hayed meadow at Marcy Field will see dozens of antique cars parked among the rows this Saturday.

It’s an eye-catching sight off of State Route 73, a bit like history pulled-over under the Great Range.

This year’s 10th Annual Flaming Leaves Antique & Classic Car Rally gets underway September 24 at 10 a.m.

Organized by the American Legion Marcy Post 1312, post leader Tom Both said the event draws unique and rebuilt classic and antique cars, sometimes a tractor or two, and antique firefighting equipment.

The hoods go up, the conversation starts, and everyone gets to visit a makeshift outdoor car museum for a few hours.

It is a popular early autumn event and an important fundraiser, Both said.

“Last year, we raised over $8,000 for community projects.”

Those projects include ceremonies at the Keene Veteran’s Memorial Park on both Memorial and Veteran’s Day.

They also supported Keene youth trips to Girl’s State and Boy’s State, along with the Kenneth Lawrence Book Award; Keene’s children’s Christmas Program; the Fuel Bank Program; town beautification efforts; gift boxes sent to active duty military personnel; North Country Honor Flight trips; the Flag Day celebration and for Christmas wreaths at the Veteran’s Memorial.

“We have a variety of cars, usually somebody comes with a car from the 1920s,” Both said.

“There are old cars and old trucks, sometimes farm tractors. They lift the hoods open and exchange stories. We also tie it in with the Dr. Goff exhibit at the Holt House.”

A cookout lunch serves up food, free to all veteran’s from the Towns of Keene and Jay. “Everybody has a good time,” Both said of the Marcy Post classic.

Near the end of the day’s events, about 2 p.m., the veteran’s group draws for their Grand Prize raffle of $1,000 worth of gas good at any Mobile Station in the U.S., Both said.

Additional prizes include a second prize $500 gas card and third prize one for $250.

The tickets are sold around town and at the event on Saturday.

Marcy Field opens for the Car Rally at 10 a.m.

The event is free, and donation boxes are set up for people who want to help fund Marcy Post’s numerous community events.

County to eliminate fees for stocking fish

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Something is fishy at the Essex County Board of Supervisors.

No, lawmakers aren’t engaged in sketchy business, but are rather trying to hash out policies for selling fish spawned at the county-owned fish hatchery in Crown Point.

A full year after operations were folded into the Department of Public Works, Deputy Superintendent Jim Dougan said he was still trying to hash out a coherent system for selling fish to municipalities.

“There’s little rhyme or reason,” Dougan told lawmakers on Monday.

Until now, the county hasn’t had a clear policy.

“Some towns paid, some towns didn’t,” said Essex County Manager Dan Palmer. “It really depended on which town you were.”

North Elba, for instance, hasn’t purchased fish in eight years, said Supervisor Roby Politi.

“Obviously someone has been paying for fish, it hasn’t been North Elba,” Politi said.

Lawmakers engaged in a sprawling debate before resolving that municipalities will not be required to pay for fish stocked in publicly accessible waters for town-sponsored events.

“When you stock fish in our town, it’s not just residents who catch the fish — it’s tourists,” said Gerald Morrow (DChesterfield). “I still don’t think it’s fair for our residents to pay for fish in our town.”

Others said they didn’t mind.

For the past several years, Schroon has paid $1,000 annually for the service.

“I always felt it was an advertisement for the town,” said Supervisor Mike Marnell. “I’m not against paying.”

Private organizations will still be required to purchase the fish, as will the localities who plan on stocking them in bodies of water that are not accessible to the public.

Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Randy

The Essex County Board of Supervisors Department of Public Works Committee passed a resolution Monday, Sept. 19 waiving towns from having to pay for fish stocked by the county-owned fish hatchery in municipal waters.

File photo

Preston (I-Wilmington) said the Whiteface Region Visitors Bureau is a regular purchaser of three-year-old brown trout to the tune of $3,500 per year.

Money raised from those events goes back to purchasing more fish.

“And I personally don’t think there’s any issue with that,” Preston said.

Lawmakers said the elimination of a $10,000 charge would go a long way as towns struggle to stay under the state-mandated tax cap.

“When I’m looking at the tax cap, that $1,000 is a lot of money,” said Morrow.

The county has sold $6,500 worth of fish to date this year, Dougan said, and are readying the release of 10,000 more into local waterways.

“The taxpayers are paying to raise those fish,” said Steve McNally (D-Minerva). “If we’re not going to use them, then get them out into the water so people can enjoy them.”

Lawmakers of the Department of Public Works Committee unanimously approved the measure, which heads to Ways & Means later this month.

Phone dialing to soon require three more digits

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

ALBANY — Soon, dialing a phone call in the region — and even to a next-door neighbor — will be giving callers’ fingers a little more exercise.

Beginning as soon as next summer, phone calls in the 17-county 518 region will require dialing 10 digits rather than just seven, according to a decision reached Sept. 15 by the state Public Service Commission.

The change is the consequence of the addition of a new area code — yet to be determined — to accompany new phone numbers assigned in the 518 region.

The addition of a new area code is due to the exhaustion of available numbers in the 518 area code region, primarily due to the proliferation of cell phones and tablets, according to communication industry officials.

Because the commission decided to use an “overlay” area code rather than split the current 518 area into two regions, phone customers with a 518 area code will not have to change their existing phone numbers.

Hearings conducted this summer across the region elicited opinions that were 60-40 in favor of the overlay approach rather than splitting the 518 region geographically and assigning a new area code to phone customers in one of the two new districts, the agency reported.

James Denn, a spokesman for the agency, said in a prepared statement that the PSC determined that the overlay was the best option because it was easier technologically — and less expensive and disruptive for phone customers, particularly businesses that would have to change signs, branding and advertising materials if the geographic option was implemented.

Patients in our area can recover from illness, injury, joint replacement, stroke, amputation or other surgical procedures while receiving one-on-one physical rehabilitation.

Patients can be “transferred back” to their community hospital for rehab surrounded by friends and family. Patients can guide their recovery, working with the rehab team to determine a customized program and goals that are based on their daily activities and lifestyle. Call 873-3020 to learn more.

Westport Church to host nationally renowned choir Elizabeth Izzo

elizabeth@suncommunitynews.com

WESTPORT — Local residents are about to get a fascinating dose of national history in the form of a choir performance at Westport Federated on Sunday.

Here’s the rub on the performers, the Teen Challenge Choir, an all-male singing troupe based in Pennsylvania.

In 1958, Pastor David Wilkerson left his small town in Pennsylvania for the big city.

Though this journey was one made by many before him, his ambition was unique.

Alerted by an article in Life magazine about the infamous Farmer trial, a case that sparked outrage across the country as a teen gang was charged for the murder of 15-year-old polio victim Michael Farmer, Wilkerson went in search of the gang

members in hopes of rehabilitating them.

The pastor said he heard God speak to him, and tell him to “go to New York City and help those boys,” according to the group’s website.

Wilkerson’s attempts to help the young men accused of murder were ultimately unsuccessful, as he was escorted from the courtroom after being denied access to the gang members, but his message had been heard.

The New York Daily News reported on the man’s attempt, and according to his organization’s website, “teens on the streets accepted him” after they saw his photo in the newspaper.

Over 50 years later, Wilkerson’s desire has spawned the creation of Teen Challenge, the biggest and most successful drug and alcohol program in the country.

Housed in a farmhouse in Pennsylvania, the group now has over 200 locations in the US and over 1,000 internationally.

SAVED SOULS

The Teen Challenge choir, an all-male troupe, works as an outreach extension of the organization.

All members of the choir have come from drug or alcohol backgrounds and have been rehabilitated by the Teen Challenge organization.

Organizers say that the choir has shared their music in churches, on street corners, prisons, high schools and more.

“You are sure to be touched as they sing and testify of God’s transforming power,” reads a release by the group.

The group will serenade the Westport congregation with their practiced Gospel notes at 9 a.m.

The Teen Challenge Choir will perform at the Westport Federated Church on Sept. 25 at 9 a.m. For more information, contact the Westport Federated Church at 962-8293.

Essex County again seeking psychiatrist two years after last vacancy

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The search is on for a full-time staff psychiatrist for Essex County.

Dr. Dov Rapoport is resigning for health reasons effective Oct. 3, Mental Health Services Director Steve Valley reported to the Essex County Board of Supervisors last week.

Rapoport has agreed to continue on a part-time basis until the end of the year, said Valley.

Lawmakers on the Essex County’s Human Services Committee authorized $26,000 to conduct a search for a replacement.

“It’s always problematic to lose an important provider like your psychiatrist,” Valley said.

Rapoport joined the department in Nov. 2014 following an 11-month search.

The recruitment process lasted eight months.

Advertising proved to be unsuccessful, and the county turned to a professional recruitment service. A contract was about to be awarded when Rapaport, who was then telecommunicating,

joined the team.

At the time, the lengthy search was attributed to a nationwide shortage of psychiatrists.

“Hopefully we can really close that window in terms of filling a new full-time position,” Valley said.

The county’s mental health department serves residents who require services for a range of diagnoses.

The department will again rely on a telepsychiatrist as they hunt for a replacement, Valley said, and planning is underway now to ensure Rapoport’s departure won’t leave anyone behind.

“There’s obviously going to be a reduction in the amount of time to provide psychiatry appointments,” Valley said. “We’re going to do our very best to make sure people with the highest needs will continue to be able to see a psychiatrist here at the clinic, or our psych nurse practitioner.”

The salary for the position is $179,000 per year. The Empire Center, a nonpartisan research organization, noted in their annual report, released earlier this month, that it is the 9th highest paid municipal position in the North Country region.

Essex County to take over Lake Placid Xprss County takeover will not affect county taxpayers, say officials

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE PLACID — Discussions are underway for Essex County to fully take over the operation of the Lake Placid Xprss, a public trolley and bus service, by the end of the year.

“Lake Placid Village has requested that the county begin operating the Lake Placid Xprss beginning January 1, 2017,” wrote Nancy Dougal, the county’s transportation coordi-

nator, in a memo to lawmakers earlier this month.

A county takeover will streamline operations, said Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall.

For the past decade, Essex County has gradually been assuming more responsibility for the service, which was started by the village nearly two decades ago.

While the village hires the drivers, Essex County administers the service and maps out the routes, which sees six county-owned trolleys and buses shuttling passengers around the Olympic Village. The system also links to other services, including a shuttle to Whiteface.

Local children, grandchildren, pastors, teachers and teenage counselors participated in the Vacation Bible School at the Willsboro Methodist Church earlier this month. The annual week-long program, which wrapped up on Aug. 19, was co-sponsored by five local Catholic and Protestant churches.

Voyage

From page 1 for the environment.

The itinerary, which covers 60,000 nautical miles, includes stops at 100 ports in 27 nations.

To find their way, the group is using wayfinding, an ancient navigational technique reliant on the sun, moon and stars — not modern technology.

During inclement weather, the crew relies on currents, waves and animal behavior for directional cues.

Auxiliary power is used only when necessary, including this east coast stint. The Hokūle’a ordinarily relies on a pair of crimson-colored sails.

The canoe entered Lake Champlain through Rouses Point on Friday after navigating the Hudson River, the Erie Canal, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

The itinerary was planned so the group could study the cold water systems of the Great Lakes, said Baybayan.

The crew seemed to be in good spirits Sunday as the double-hulled canoe bobbed at the Westport Marina.

Passerby came and went, peering at the vessel and taking photos.

For 41 years, the PVS stuck to the Pacific Ocean and the Pacific Rim. But they expanded their focus three years ago to more ambitious, global treks.

This marks the first breakdown during the trip. Baybayan seemed unperturbed.

“On a three-year voyage, you gotta expect something like this,” he said.

In addition to shining a light on environmental sustainability issues, a video crew embedded with the vessel has been capturing examples of good stewardship and posting them on their website.

The group is also engaging with indigenous populations whenever possible.

“They know more intimately the story of the land,” Baybayan said.

The captain has been at sea for nearly 30 months.

As he transverses the globe, Baybayan said he has learned that everyone shares the same basic values: family, food and kinship.

And everyone has been openhearted.

“People around the world are incredibly generous, and I’d like to acknowledge the kindness of the planet,” Baybayan said.

Following repairs, the vessel’s next scheduled stop is in Whitehall, Washington County.

LOCAL CONNECTION With a team of experienced navigators on board, it is perhaps unsurprising that the Hokūle’a managed to sniff out a friendly face.

As it turns out, Westport Marina Owner Bob Carroll graduated from the Punahou School in Honolulu, HI in 1953 — the same year that Nainoa Thompson, the vessel’s lead navigator, was born.

Thompson, who serves as president of the Polynesian Voyage Society, graduated in 1972.

Carroll and Thompson fell into conversation on Sunday.

“It was a coincidence,” Thompson said of the respite. “But maybe not.”

“There is a significant duplication among services involved,” Randall said. “The village operates [the service], yet administration of the grant fund program runs into the county, and we’re sort of subordinate to that.”

Funding comes from a hodgepodge of local, federal and state funding streams, including State Operating Assistance, or STOA, which is allocated based on passenger levels.

Lake Placid and the town of North Elba have historically subsidized the remaining portion of the costs, Randall said.

Officials say service will not be affected, and county taxpayers will not shoulder an additional cost.

State law forbids authorities from shifting the burden to county taxpayers, Dougal said.

“It can’t cost the county taxpayers anything,” Dougal said.

Lake Placid has agreed to compensate the county for any potential shortfalls in revenue and funding.

Randall said the village has allocated $70,000 for operations until the end of the fiscal year.

But Dougal is optimistic that the true number will actually be lower.

“I don’t think it’s going to be that much when we get to the end of the year,” Dougal said. “Hopefully a lot less.”

The service cost $192,480 to run in 2015, transporting 53,000 riders.

About 76 percent of the budget was de-

rived from state aid.

“Typically the transportation budget is well-funded by state and federal sources to the point where it barely costs [the county] $10,000 or $12,000 per year to operate,” said Essex County Manager Dan Palmer.

Once the takeover is official, drivers will be shifted from village oversight to the county’s employment banner.

“I think the community will continue to support the organization,” Randall said.

North Elba contributes about $40,000 annually to the system and will continue to do so, said Supervisor Roby Politi.

The service, said Politi, is critical to maintaining the region’s international cachet.

“A world-class resort community needs a transportation system,” Politi said.

While the lawmaker admitted some towns do not benefit from the service, namely those in the southern part of the county, consumer spending by passengers contributes to the county’s sales tax revenues.

“We’re all partners in this thing and are trying to make it more efficient,” Politi said.

Randall praised Dougal for the county’s oversight of the system.

“She’s done a great job of administering this program.”

The transition isn’t a done deal: Dougal said the department will offer a formal resolution to the Health and Human Services Committee in October.

I

think in this election cycle, more so than ever before in my lifetime, the nation is forced to either sit out this presidential election or invest some time to make a choice they can live with.

Both candidates have significant “undesirable” qualities, according to the polls, and sadly, those negatives out weigh the positives making either a risky choice depending on your interests.

Add to that a highly fragmented national media, an extremely polarized social media and internet environment. What we are left with is undecided or uncommitted voters who are torn with respect to how they will cast their vote come November 8th.

In the past, polished political candidates representing both parties, could leave voters disappointed their candidate didn’t win, but with a feeling they could live with or at least accept the alternative to their choice.

Not so this year where it’s anything but normal and the stakes are as high or higher than ever before, depending on your views.

As much as anything this year, I think the Presidential Election of 2016 will come down to the National Media versus the American Public.

With next week’s first 90 minute Presidential Debate set to air on Monday September 26, 2016, from Hofstra University, it seems clear the American public will be tuned into what is being described as the single largest viewing audience for any live televised/streaming event history.

The voting public no longer trust the media. They have serious doubts about the political system and the mudslinging ads that lead up to election day. They will be compelled to sit, watch, listen and choose for themselves which candidate they will trust with their vote or make the choice to let others set the nation’s course for them by sitting this one out.

That’s a heck of a way to elect a president but it’s what we’ve done to ourselves by placing so much trust in partisanship political beliefs.

The first debate will be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on major topics to be selected by the moderator. The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.

This storm has been building for a long time, and like a hurricane, the weather models are no better at predicting the outcome than the political pundits have been at predicting this election.

It’s now time to see both candidates on display and you will decide to stay the course or break the mold. The candidates must validate themselves and convince you to be trusted with your vote.

Blundering toward a cluster bomb ban

C

By Frank Pagano

luster bombs are notorious for scattering unexpended ordinance over a wide area. An egregious example is the residue of a quarterbillion of them dropped during our secret war in Laos. Duds from our futile attempt to interdict North Vietnam’s supply lines still kill about 20 children annually. Laotians call them “bombies”, and despite the warning posters in grade schools, children occasionally pick them up and some detonate. Most countries ban cluster bomb use or sale because of this latent, indiscriminate danger. The US isn’t yet on board but that may be changing.

A gridlocked Congress can’t be expected to intelligently deliberate the Convention on Cluster Munitions - they can’t even pass a budget on time or conduct hearings on a Supreme Court nominee. In Washington, it’s lobbyists, not politicians, who get results. They convinced the government to buy thousands of CBU-105s manufactured by Textron in Massachusetts, at $355,000 (each). This is the new and safer cluster bomb. Each bombie (rebranded as a “puck”) can independently track and maneuver to targets - which, one hopes, out-values the pucks. Textron was the only remaining US cluster bomb manufacturer, with pharmaceutical-strength pricing power. In addition to our military, their big customers included South Korea, India and even pariah-states such as Saudi Arabia.

The US launched a cruise missile with a low-tech cluster warhead into Yemen in 2009. It obliterated an Al Qaeda base - and killed about forty civilians as “collateral damage”. But worse than collateral is the deliberate illegal targeting of civilians with these weapons by other countries. We used to give away cluster bombs to the Israelis (99% of our foreign aid to Israel is categorized as military aid). But we’ve repeatedly scolded and sanctioned Israel (as Reagan did in 1982) for their tendency to commit war crimes with them. The Israelis, fed up with this treatment from their own client, developed indigenous cluster bombs, eventually competing with us on the international weapons market.

Incredibly, the Saudis, rolling in petrodollars, also receive US foreign aid.

But it’s only a million dollars, an infinitesimal fraction of Israel’s aid. So, the Saudis had to pay Textron a half-billion dollars for their cluster bombs - plus at least a $10 million gift to the Clinton Foundation. Did that influence our Secretary of State to fast-track her approval? Oh, no, we’re supposed to believe the same kingdom that permits beheadings for apostasy benevolently funds the Clinton’s humanitarianism. The Royal Saudi Air Force amassed a huge stockpile of dumb and smart US cluster bombs. These were deployed on their made-in-St Louis F-15s and dropped on Yemeni civilians – who just happen to be members of a rival Islamic denomination. Cluster bombs might also have been used on four targeted hospitals.

During his recent trip to Laos, Obama didn’t apologize for dropping more bombs on their country than we did on Imperial Japan. Instead the Nobel Peace Prize winner ruefully stated that the world is smaller and now we can’t get away with conducting secret wars anymore. But he graciously pledged more millions to clean up a tiny fraction of our lethal mess in Laos. Earlier this year, perhaps inspired by The Gipper, he scolded the Saudis for misusing our weapons, banning them from future cluster bomb purchases. This was necessary because Congress, under the influence of $4 million in campaign contributions from Textron, wouldn’t pass a one-line amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill prohibiting future cluster bomb transfers to Saudi Arabia.

Sadly, but predictably, Elise Stefanik voted against that amendment.

A

August 30 was a miraculous day in the struggle to ban cluster bombs. Citing the “current political environment”, Textron suddenly announced that they were shutting down their lucrative solesource CBU-105 production line. We’ve thus stumbled a step closer to joining the civilized world in banning the manufacture and use of cluster bombs – well, unless the political environment changes again, a distinct possibility with the leading, recklessly hawkish, presidential candidates.

In an article suitable for The Onion, a Barclay’s analyst, Carter Copeland, tried “to see the bright side” in the abandonment of a product responsible for killing or injuring 30,000 children.

Those collaterally-damaged kids were coldly zeroed out in the financial analysis. Here’s Mr. Copeland’s bright side: By closing the controversial CBU-105 production line, Textron may be a more lucrative foreign takeover target. Only Wall Streeters think its desirable for a Tier 1 US military contractor to be foreign-owned.

There’s more to this story but we’ve already overdosed on immorality. This is what happens when we outsource our civic responsibilities to plutocrats.

These people, our politicians’ owners, know there’s vast rewards and little risk in their anti-social behavior. As long as the voters are reliably distracted by trivia, such as scary clowns and athletes sitting out the national anthem, the plutocracy can get away with just about anything.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TaxpayersÊ areÊ pickingÊ upÊ theÊ tabÊ onÊ hikingÊ trails To the Editor: When the Essex County Board of Supervisors was considering expanding the coverage of the “bed tax,” I wrote the supervisors stating that if such an expansion were to be implemented, all costs for that program should be paid for out of that tax’s revenue.

Those costs would include all legal costs for prosecuting those who cheat, the full cost of new employees required to process and track the taxes and the properties, process servers, and so on.

I have the same recommendation for the hiker tax.

All costs in the collection of the taxes must come from the income of the program. Otherwise, when costs exceed expenses, it is just another hidden cost to the taxpayers, concealed a little bit in this department and little bit in that department, and so on.

For example, the State requires an annual fee of $100 paid per snowmobile to use state trails. I doubt that the trail work ongoing and that proposed in recent years around the Town of North Hudson, the so called inn-to-inn trails, are totally paid for from that fund, not withstanding that the law requires $95 of that fee be used for trails; maintenance and development.

All taxpayers are picking up the tab, again, a little bit here, a little bit there.

Ê Welcome,Ê Mr.Ê Gondal To the Editor: In 1976, just looking for a spot to pitch a tent by a stream 100 miles north of my boyhood home, we discovered Elizabethtown.

It was only after closing on a small parcel and going to buy gas that we noticed the inscription on a concrete pole in the corner of the Sunoco lot: “KKK.” After feeling uneasy exploring properties in country settings in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia because of examples of overt racism, we had accidentally settled with our biracial son in Dixie North!

But in the 40 years since, we have gone from ‘what have we gotten ourselves into’ to an everyday thankfulness: wow, how lucky we were to have stumbled into this wonderful place, where generous, open-hearted residents greatly outnumber the bigots, much like most places in the country.

It’s a kind of fitting, too, that the site of that long-ago fear-inspiring sign on the concrete pole is now a store/filling station operated by an entrepreneur from Pakistan by way of Paris!

In a welcome irony, the store’s opening coincides with the dedication of another piece of stone — granite, this time — to the memory of a town

was purchased by the state earlier this year and awaits classification.

“The goal is to promote access and recreation to all people while maintaining the environment,” Moore said. “It’s basically in the initial stages, we’re just getting started.”

The idea arose from a recent Five Towns meeting — North Hudson, Newcomb, Minerva, Indian Lake and Long Lake — at which the aforementioned stakeholders were present.

Groups like the Adirondack Local Government Review Board have also pledged their support.

“It just proves a lot of people have a lot of interest in this to create access for more people,” said Minerva Supervisor Steve McNally, who noted this was the first time such a broad coalition has assembled under a single banner.

The Five Towns are pushing for a Wild Forest designation in the core areas throughout the tract, a move that would provide the base for trails connecting the towns through a pre-existing network of former logging and access roads.

Doing so would allow for recreational activities to lay the bedrock for a sustainable local economy, the group says.

Environmental preservation groups are calling for a more restrictive use that classifies most of the parcel as Wilderness.

Doing so would prohibit all but foot and paddle traffic from what scientists have called one of the Adirondack Park’s most sensitive ecological areas.

Much of the discussion revolves around access points, with green groups pushing for access further away from the waterways that make up the heart of the parcel.

The sporting community is an aging demographic.

The average age of hunters, trappers and anglers in New York is between 46 and 48, said Jason Kemper, chair of the New York State Conservation Fund Advisory Board, a membrer of the coalition.

“I think the sporting community is increasingly frustrated when we continue to shut access to lands that have very viable infrastructure in place,” Kemper said. “If the infrastructure is in place, we should be utilizing those lands.”

Access Adirondacks rolled out a Memorandum of Understanding last week, the first-ever for an access-oriented group, Moore said.

The document calls for the signatories to “work constructively” with state agencies and each other to fulfill a number of goals in decision-making affecting access, analysis of natural resources and relevant road and trail infrastructure, and the study of past uses of state lands.

Is this to say that the aforementioned was not being done before?

“Historically, back to the origins of the Adirondack Park Agency in 1971, I think the primary focus has been on protecting the environment and less of an emphasis on local governments, economic input and recreation op-

Sorry,Ê IÊ donÕ tÊ speakÊ Russian!

To the Editor: [In response to “Trump supporters should brush up on their Russian,” by Gary Philip Guido in the Sept. 17 edition of the Sun.] I have no reason to believe Mr. Gary Philip Guido. Bottom line, his desires for America are much different than mine.

I believe we both want a better America for our future generations, the problem is as I see it we have totally different ideas on how to accomplish the desired results and with who.

Facts are stubborn things, so let’s see if we can figure out who is working for America with the Russians! We know Hillary, while Secretary of State, sold 25 percent of the USA uranium deposits to Russia, and the Clinton’s got personally rewarded with huge donations to their family controlled foundation.

Yes, that is a fact!

We know that Trump has been cordial with the Russian leader and hopes to work with Russia once he is inaugurated on international issues and yes that’s a fact!

I see the rants and stupidity coming from the Clinton camp, along with personal insults directed at over 50 million Americans, myself included, with Hillary’s statement that “you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.”

I won’t bore you with terms and name calling she followed that up with in an effort to avoid any children from seeing who the Democrats are supporting.

Mr. Guido, as I see it, Trump has approached this election and its issues with common sense, yes I agree he is out of touch with political correctness as developed by the radical left wing of the Democratic Party. But that is true to his character and makes him an even more attractive choice for the working people of America, and yes he is our best shot at MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. So wake up and join me in supporting Trump for President!

portunities and access,” Moore said.

That, in part, is why the Five Towns banded together in 2013 prior to Essex Chain of Lakes discussions, said the lawmaker.

“We realized we were the most affected by the recent purchase,” Moore said.

Moore was quick to hail Gov. Andrew Cuomo for guiding those negotiations between towns and land use planners, largely viewed as a compromise, and for promoting tourism in the region.

“Things have changed for the better,” Moore said. “It’s improving for us.”

Alongside the classification process, the state Department of Conservation will develop a Unit Management Plan.

While a Wilderness classification means Access Adirondacks’ proposals may be entirely torpedoed — a measure that would largely carve the group out of the subsequent debate — Moore says he hopes the organization will stick around after the current debate ends.

“We thought maybe this could have a future in future land acquisitions,” Moore said. “Hopefully this group will stay together and be this group that is all inclusive.”

Kemper said sportsmen haven’t always been vocal about access issues.

“The sporting community is strongly in favor [of access], and will take a stronger role than in the past,” he said.

A website is in the works, and the group plans to meet at least once before the first public hearing, which is scheduled for Nov. 9 at the APA headquarters in Ray Brook.

Last week, Moore asked the Essex County Board of Supervisors to circulate the MOU to their town boards and potential signatories in their communities.

ore than 700,000 Americans are released from prison each year. We expect them to re-enter society and be law-abiding, but we make it extremely difficult for anyone who has served time to ever become gainfully employed, even though they have paid their debt to society. A barrier that needs to be removed is that box on standard job applications that asks, “Have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor?”

If you check “yes,” you will likely never hear from the potential employer again. It won’t matter how qualified or motivated you are. And with extremely limited legitimate earning options, the formerly incarcerated often re-offend and are re-incarcerated within a few years.

This destructive cycle not only devastates individuals, families and communities, it’s a recurring, evergrowing expense for taxpayers.

The cost of keeping and guarding inmates now averages $31,286 per inmate per year. Each inmate represents tax money that could otherwise be spent on programs to grow the economy, and each inmate is one less employee whose consumer spending would spur growth for all kinds of companies. The U.S. incarcerates more individuals than any other nation, and 70 million Americans have some sort of criminal record — almost one in three Americans of working age. This revolving door system is unsustainable. One simple step can be a solution.

More than 100 cities, 20 states and the federal government have passed laws that “ban the box.” “Ban the Box” simply defers the question about a candidate’s criminal history until such time that a conditional job offer is made. And for certain jobs, such as those working with children, employers may still ask about relevant criminal history.

“Ban the Box” ensures that potential hires are evaluated based on experience, skills and future potential, not past mistakes for which they’ve already paid and that don’t relate to their current efforts to make a fresh start.

This change is small but the potential value is enormous, especially to candidates in chronically disadvantaged communities. To break the cycle of poverty caused by lack of job opportunities, individuals need and deserve a chance to start fresh. And we need farsighted companies to implement inclusive hiring models.

I recently joined 18 other business leaders at the White House to launch the Fair Chance Business Pledge. This pledge calls on all businesses to improve our communities by creating a path to a second chance for people with a criminal record. Companies signing the pledge included big names like American Airlines, Coca-Cola, Facebook, Georgia Pacific, Google, Koch Industries, and Xerox. So this isn’t something the business community is that scared of.

A job is obviously essential for supporting oneself and one’s family, but it also provides confidence, dignity and self-worth, which has an encouraging ripple effect throughout any community. Let’s ban the box nationwide so hardworking individuals, ready to work, have a real chance to be a contributing member of society.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Art is relative F. Scott Fitzgerald, who was born this week in 1896, once said that writers weren’t people. He said that if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person.

I think this applies to everyone, in a way; we all contain multitudes, we are all multi-faceted with fairly nuanced ideas, opinions and feelings.

This means that each one of us will experience things differently — each of us carry a lifetime of experiences behind us, each event altering our perspective and opinion, however minutely.

Each person, with their varied lifetimes, will react to art differently. That’s one of the great things about art and entertainment; some is made to woo its audience, others to disgust, to shock its viewers, but it’s all relative — regardless of its creator’s intention.

The North Country has plenty of opportunities to get involved with art and entertainment this week. Here are a few suggestions: Lake George’s C.R. Wood Park will see a two day local music festival on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1.

Performances scheduled for Friday are Capital Zen, Mister F and more. Saturday performances include Formula5, Joe Mansman and more. The festival will also feature food vendors and a kid zone. Tickets are $10 for a two day pass. Gates open at 4 p.m. on Friday and 12 p.m. on Saturday.

MFG Week 2016 - - Opening Doors and Minds

By Dan Alexander

dan@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH — Next week North Country manufacturers open their doors to celebrate MFG Week 2016 as part of a national effort by thousands of manufacturers around the nation.

As the old saying goes: “Seeing is believing,” and that is the guiding principle behind Manufacturing Week. It was created in response to a dire need: Industry today faces a major shortage of skilled workers. An estimated two million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled over the next decade due to the inability of business owners to find talented workers with the required skills for these good paying jobs.

Several leading industry organizations determined the best way to combat and reverse the negative misconceptions people may have about manufacturing jobs and careers is to literally show “up close and personal” the exciting kind of work that takes place in plants across the U.S. and right here in our own backyard.

Firms like APG-Neuros APG-Neuros is a relatively new and unknown company to the North Country. APG manufactures a high efficiency turbo blower used in a variety of wastewater treatment facilities, as well as an array of industrial applications. Production started in the summer of 2010 with approximately 10 employees. Today, APG-Neuros has 24 people employed at its Plattsburgh facility, 11 of whom serve as Test/Field Service technicians.

With over 1,000 units now in service, there is an increasing need to be able to provide

onsite customer support. There is no better way to support the customer than with the people who have assembled and tested the product!

APG-Neuros Plant Manager Gary Cederstrom told The SUN: “I have been with APG-Neuros in various roles since they came to Plattsburgh. Our community involvement has been minimal at best, partly because we were new and small.

We were not like the Bombardier’s and Nova Buses. In the past year I have been asked to be on a couple local advisory boards.

One of those is the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing (IAM) Board at Clinton Community College. Working with Kris Renedette and the other board members has ‘opened my eyes’ to the multitude of opportunities that are available to our company. But more importantly, what APG-Neuros has to offer to the educational community. What we do at APG-Neuros is extremely relevant to what is being taught in the technology programs at CCC. We have hired 4-5 people that have gone through one or more of the tech programs. We want to be able to have input and be part of enhancing current and developing potentially new classes/trainings at the college. This will make APG-Neuros better known in the community and assist us in providing local jobs.”

Data shows theory works Research reveals the theory behind APG-Neuros’ efforts work. A new Deloitte perception survey developed in collaboration with The Manufacturing Institute was distributed to the more than 2,500 manufacturing hosts to gather data from manufacturing outreach. The results are dramatic: • 81 percent of student respondents are more convinced manufacturing provides careers that are both interesting and rewarding; • 71 percent of student respondents are more likely to tell friends, family, parents or colleagues about manufacturing; • 93 percent of educators are more convinced manufacturing provides careers that are interesting and rewarding, and • 90 percent of educators

indicated they are more likely to encourage students to pursue a career in manufacturing.

The Swarovski Group: Swarovski & Schonbek brands In 1895, in Tyrol, Austria the visionary Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut crystal perfectly and precisely. Still owned and run by the Swarovski family today, Swarovski is the world leader in cut crystal for jewelry and decorative pieces as well as lighting, architecture and interiors.

Swarovski introduced their ornate ground crystal elements for use in chandeliers and lighting fixtures in 1965. Since then, Swarovski has amazed and inspired designers within the world of lighting. The Swarovski brand is renowned for its cutting-edge design language that combines crystal and light to produce imaginative light forms, transforming architectural spaces into iconic landmarks of sparkling wonder.

In 1870, young Adolph Schonbek left his grandfather’s glass-works to found A. Schonbek & Co. The young entrepreneur focused on manufacturing crystal chandeliers of the finest quality and quickly built up a successful international business. For more than 140 years, the Schonbek name has carried with it a reputation as a change maker in lighting, revolutionizing the industry.

Sought after the world over, Schonbek has a glittering global presence in buildings of grand historic importance, palaces, luxury hotels and resorts, casinos, fine restaurants, Hollywood film sets, and other prestigious settings. Schonbek offers a diverse range of custom capabilities, making the brand an ideal partner for the most complex custom lighting projects.

Schonbek has been a member of the Swarovski Group since 2007. Schonbek lighting is designed, engineered and manufactured exclusively in the U.S.A. Together, Swarovski and Schonbek have been granted over 200 design patents and share more than 250 years of crystal and lighting history.

Delivering innovative design solutions and quality products with industry-leading customer experience, you can count on Mold-Rite to deliver safety, compliance, shelf impact and consumer satisfaction. Mold-Rite Plastics supports nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food, person care, household chemical and automotive packaging projects as part of its extensive packaging capabilities.

Other MFG Week participants In addition to the North County Manufacturers featured above the following companies will also be participating: Bombardier, Champlain Plastics, B3CG, FujiSemec, General Composites, Nova, IEC Holden, International Paper, Johns Manville, SterRx, Norsk, Belcam, Schluter Systems, SpencerARL, Sun Community News & Printing, Tropical Valley Foods, The Country Malt Group, Camso, The Northeast Group. The organizing committee expect more participants will be added to this list.

Engagement is essential A key conclusion the Deloitte report makes is: “manufacturers need to engage people through community, educational and government programs in order to improve the perception of the manufacturing industry.”

Clinton Community College will be hosting an event open to the public to introduce students, parents, teachers and the community to manufacturing careers. The event will feature a tour of the building site for the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing presentations, a panel discussion and breakout session with local companies. The event is being held at the Stafford Science and Technology Building in Plattsburgh and will run from 5:30 – 8 p.m. on Oct. 6.

For students participating in Manufacturing Week, seeing really is believing – believing that their futures can be bright with a career in manufacturing right here in their hometown.

said as their Community Supported Agriculture business has taken root and flourished.

But for both Christenson and his business partner, Ian Ater, the aim remains the same.

“It’s not about working 14 hours a day... it’s about putting plants in the earth and having a ball. Our business has changed so much, our business has changed so fast, that I can look at it and say ‘Is this our business?’”

“The scale has changed on all the farms,” Stechschulte said of his observations this summer.

The panel, moderated by David Sommerstein from North Country Public Radio, included Mark Kimball, founder and farmer at Essex Farm; David Brunner, owner of the rekindled Asgaard Farm & Dairy; Courtney Grimes-Sutton, co-owner of Mace Chasm Farm; Margot Brooks, co-owner of Sugar House Creamery and Steven Googin, founder and co-owner of North Country Creamery.

WHAT’S SUSTAINABLE? For Kimball, the definition of “sustainability” lies within the 200 to 300 things that change in any given year.

He said he and his wife Kristin now employ about 20 people and they are looking down the road toward longer-term investments, like college tuition for their children and retirement funds.

The learning curve they expected would even out is still steep, Kimball said.

“Looking forward, I think Kristin and I have more of a question mark than we thought,” he said.

Farming has long been largely dependent on the weather, but it seems local market buyers hold as much sway as any blustering wind or hard frost.

Woolf suggested that the necessary equal-and-opposite reaction to the rising of small farms is nascent, arriving with the Hub-on-the-Hill, farm-to-market cooperation and a decided step toward distribution infrastructure.

The focus moves to the community to solve some part of the equation, the farmers agreed.

WISH LIST Farmers organically provided a collective wish list as the lively discussion faded to the rise of fiddle and mandolin music outside Floral Hall.

Many of those on the panel pulled together some of the themes — worker burnout, sustainability, transport and affordability — that orbited around the first half of the discussion.

“What I want is some predictability,” said Grimes-Sutton.

Ater, from Fledging Crow, agreed — “Good organic farming means you’ve got to have good markets,” he said — but said transport and cold storage also posed thorny logistical issues.

“What we want is to produce as much as we can and it has somewhere to go,” Grimes-Sutton said.

Brooks said while farmers appreciated the North Country’s patronage, success often comes down to sheer critical mass.

“We just need more people,” Brooks said, calling for attendees to be emissaries for local food.

She asked the room how much of their food came from local producers.

“Engage your local food system in a really deep level,” Brooks said. “The food we make is really good.”

HOW’D IT GO? ORGANIZERS REACT Billed as a way to breathe some life into the county-owned fairgrounds, attendance at the first Adirondack Harvest Festival surpassed what organizers had hoped.

“We heard from several of the farms what an opportunity it was for all the farmers to get together, that it doesn’t happen very often,” said Nancy Page, an organizer. “We know that the food providers all essentially sold out.”

Susie Smith, a founding member of Hub-on-the-Hill and owner of a local catering company, scanned the busy laneways around the Essex County Fairgrounds about 3:30 p.m. She was busy, answering questions, moving through the markets.

“It’s been amazing,” she summed.

The food trucks and Pig Roast from Dubbs BBQ had lines for much of the afternoon. Music poured from the squarish hull of the fairground bandstand.

Elizabethtown artist Shari Amsell had helped sign people up for two Champlain Area Trails hikes on each day of the festival. The full-moon ramble was very busy, and beautiful, she said. The longer hike had fewer participants, but the steady autumn winds kept people cool, she said.

Farm stands at the Best Farmers’ Market Ever drew small scrums, little crowd of people, asking questions, learning more about where their food comes from, what happens as winter sets in and harvest winds down.

The room nodded.

“But it’s expensive,” Grimes-Sutton shot back. “We’re at a real weird point in history for small farms.”

Others suggested broader outreach efforts to boost the use of locally-grown products, including lobbying institutions like schools to incorporate their products into lunch and even gardening programs.

“We’re literally taking grass at our creamery to give your kids energy to live, study and grow,” Googin said.

The Adirondack Farmer’s Association, the cheesemaker said, has been pushing to get lowinterest loans from the Farm Bill allocated to alleviate some of the storage issues that are hobbling these institutional efforts.

But often those schedules are “diametrically opposed” to growing seasons, noted Christenson, which makes planning difficult.

Supply chains also prove to be a pesky issue for providing food to these programs.

“We’ve always said we grow as much as we possibly can and practically give it to the school,” Ater said.

And when it comes to cracking the big leagues — which for many, is getting their food on the shelves of regional supermarkets — it comes down to a matter of having enough capital.

Ater said Fledging Crow would need between $90,000 and $100,000 in infrastructure improvements to get their product into Wegman’s, citing discussions with company personnel.

This is where grants come in, Iter said.

Kimball, of Essex Farm, offered attendees a challenge: Open your fridge and survey which percentage of the contents came from local growers: “Ten percent in the fridge? Double it.”

All indicated their participation was part of a broader calling.

“We’re all part of the same experimental matrix that is reinventing the wheel,” Kimball said.

And all of them were taking a chance, he said.

“That bravery is what I’m most excited about.”

APA, DEC look to possible Nov. hearings on Boreas land-use

By Kim Dedam

kim@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — Boreas Ponds land-use classification scraped the edge of the Adirondack Park Agency meeting last week.

A draft of possible dates for public hearings on the as-yet-undetermined classification of the state’s new 20,758-acre tract are not set in stone.

And they wouldn’t begin, according to APA staff, until Nov. 9.

With those dates pending, APA may visit the first draft Boreas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) from the Department of Environmental Conservation next month, says Adirondack Council Executive Director William Janeway.

“The public hearing dates were placed on the (projector) screen and in a handout,” Janeway told the Sun. “It is tentative, a draft, and that could change. APA may or may not approve the EIS for public release. It is not yet done and out,” Janeway said.

“It appears their aim is to have that (land-use plan) come out at the APA meeting, Oct. 13 and 14. Once that comes out, it’s a draft EIS with proposed classifications.”

Land-use classification in the proposed Boreas Unit Management Plan would then go to statewide public hearings for review.

Boreas, like its sister tracts at Essex Chain Lakes, is former Finch, Pruyn & Co. timberland, conserved for about eight years

by The Nature Conservancy. New York purchased the property from TNC earlier this year for $14.5 million.

Numerous hunting clubs still hold lease to parcels in Boreas, agreements in force through the end of next year. Clubs will be required to remove camps by the end of 2019, as planned in the sale to the state.

WILDERNESS Adirondack Park environmental preservation groups hope most of the land is classified Wilderness, keeping all but foot and paddle impact away from the ponds in the heart of the parcel.

“The biggest area of contention is how close motorized access should get to the pond,” Janeway said.

“The Council and several Adirondack conservation groups have recommended ‘Wilderness’ for Boreas Ponds and for a mile south, to locate parking at LaBier Flow.”

Wilderness classification would also mean no mountain bike use on the existing logging roads above LaBier Flow.

A coalition of green groups puts the critical access point in

North Hudson’s Hamlet.

“We have a vision of a recreation hub at Exit 29, in North Hudson, where visitors could access businesses and services, and a shuttle could work from there to Boreas Ponds, Dix Mountain trails, the Tawhaus Trailhead, and to Cloudsplitter guide service in Newcomb,” Janeway said.

“As a hub, it would provide a southern portal to the High Peaks, and we know how popular the High Peaks trails are right now.”

The summer traffic this year overran the High Peaks and Cascade and Porter trails.

DEC recently ticketed leaders of hiking group with 67 climbers on Algonquin Peak. The park limit is 15 hikers in a group with eight allowed together for overnight camping.

WILD FOREST Many local residents and town leaders don’t agree. They say the best way to open the land is to classify its core as Wild Forest.

In North Hudson, Supervisor Ron Moore announced formation of “Access Adirondacks,” a coalition of town government organizations, various sports and hunting groups, snowmobile clubs, businesses, landowners and area Chambers of Commerce, to support an approach that the group says will “protect the natural resources, and respects the need of Adirondack residents and businesses for a healthy and sustainable economy.”

Toward that end, Access Adirondacks points out that the Boreas Ponds waterways, “while serene and beautiful, are not at all natural.”

The string of lakes is created, they note, by a manmade concrete dam.

And they are looking for Wild Forest classification of a 9,913acre core around the ponds.

“Ironically, some of the groups advocating for a Wilderness classification also believe the dam, and the road to it, should remain and be maintained in the future.

“While we agree the dam and road should remain, both are further justification of a Wild Forest classification.”

Access Adirondacks would like to see mountain biking and winter “phat” tire biking allowed on existing roads around Boreas lakes. They are lobbying for snowmobile use on those roads as well as on Gulf Brook Road.

“The hope would be to route these competitive events through each of the Five Towns, i.e. beginning at the Boreas Ponds along the proposed snowmobile trail to Minerva, Indian lake, Newcomb, and ending in Long Lake.”

They are also lobbying for permitted parking spots beside Boreas Ponds for licensed Adirondack Guides.

Some changes have been made on the property, ahead of the formal public comment period.

The former Finch, Pruyn corporate lodge has been removed, Moore said.

That demolition was part of the initial purchase plan.

But DEC retained the historic log cabin, one of the first logging camps and a landmark to the long tradition of timber industry in the Adirondacks.

HEARINGS Tentative dates for APA and DEC Boreas public hearings include: Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. APA headquarters in Ray Brook Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. Northville Central School, Northville Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. Newcomb Central School Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. at St. Lawrence Co., Human Service Center, Canton Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. in the New York City area, TBD Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. at DEC headquarters, Albany Written comments are due by Dec. 30.

Are you looking for a way to stay active as the weather cools? Paddle tennis is a fun year-round sport and the season begins on Oct. 1.

Paddle, or platform tennis, is a racket sport enjoyed by all ages. It is a very social sport, usually played as doubles. Community members who try it get hooked!

A membership fee is required to cover the cost of maintenance but fees are reasonable, and it can be played all year.

A single paddle membership is $135 until Nov. 1. After that

Westelcom recognized by NTCA for broadband speed ARLINGTON, VA — Westelcom Networks Inc. was recently recognized by NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association, the premier association representing nearly 900 independent, community-based telecommunications companies, as a Certified Gig-Capable Provider for delivering gigabit broadband speeds and enabling technological innovation in the Northern NY region.

As the first NYS Certified Gig-Capable Provider, Westelcom joins a national campaign to build awareness and industry recognition of community-based telecom providers that have built communications networks capable of delivering Internet speeds of 1 gigabit per second or greater, which is 100 times faster than most services currently available in much of the U.S. “I applaud Westelcom for its commitment to delivering the Internet’s fastest speeds,” said NTCA Chief Executive Officer Shirley Bloomfield. “It’s an accomplishment worthy of much praise considering the unique and challenging circumstances small, community-based telecommunications providers operate under every day in serving some of our country’s most rural and remote communities.”

By building a gigabit-capable network, Bloomfieldsaid, Westelcom has not only overcome these challenges, but also shattered conventional benchmarks for broadband speed.

To achieve certification, telecommunications companies must show that gigabit technology is currently commercially available within 95 percent of one or more exchanges within its serving territory and that such service can be provided without new trenching or stringing new aerial facilities.

This statement must be confirmed by a letter from an engineering firm or other independent source involved in the company’s network planning, deployment or operation.

KEENE VALLEY — Hanna Whitney knows all aboout setting records.

The senior has already had big sports moments, as she eclipsed the 1,000-career point mark as a junior last season in basketball.

Now, the standout holds another title, joining the 100-goal club as she connected on a shot against Willsboro Sept. 16 as the Beavers scored a 4-0 win.

“The whole game was kind of nerve’racking,” Whitney said.

“It was not like basketball because there are so many other variables. Elly (Smith) had an amazing throw-in and I got the ball between the 6-and-12 where I was able to score.”

The moment was met with the presentation of the game ball and other momentos by Keene Athletic Director Matthew Mills and coach Jody Whitney.

“Hanna is an athlete who has a great understanding and takes great pride wherever she participates,” Whitney said.

“Beginning her varsity career in eighth grade, Hanna has become a great team leader and captain through years of hard work and dedication.”

When Whitney started her career, 100 goals did not look like where it would get to.

“I remember that first game against AuSable, I was this little eighth grader playing center defense,” she said. “It was not until the beginning of this season I got the idea this was something that could happen.”

Since, Whitney has gone from a small, shy defender to a powerful force in the center midfield for the Beavers, helping to lead the squad to the sectional finals last season against Chazy.

“My goal now, as well as the team’s goal, is a Section VII title,” she said. “That would be awesome.”

Along with Whitney, the Beavers core of players have been together for three seasons, and have added some new faces from last season’s unbeaten modified squad, including Hanna’s sister, Emily.

“It’s awesome to have her here with me,” Hanna said. “She is working really hard. I think she can go for this accomplishment, too.

“All of the younger kids have done nothing but good things for the team,” she continued. “We have a core of juniors and seniors who have played together and have each others backs.”

As for personal accomplishments, the 100 goals Whitney has amassed leaves her 25 behind the Section VII record of 125, set two years ago by Minerva/Newcomb standout McKenzie Winslow.

Goals will be important in the coming week for the Beavers, as the 5-0-0 squad will take on their closest competitors in Division III of the Northern Soccer League in Johnsburg (3-0-1, game scheduled for Sept. 20) and Crown Point (3-1-0, game scheduled for Sept. 22). Both games will be played at Keene Central School with 4:30 p.m. kickoff times.

Patriots score first win of ‘16 over PHS

CLINTONVILLE — The AuSable Valley varsity soccer team got a string defensive performance and a pair of touchdown passes from Dalton McDonald as they defeated the Plattsburgh High Hornets Sept. 16 for their first win of the season.

McDonald finished with 220 passing yards and a pair of scores, while Kobe Parrow was the top target, catching nine of McDonald’s 15 completions for 114 yards and a score.

Parrow opened the scoring for the Patriots in the second quarter, catching a six-yard throw from McDonald to give AVCS a 7-0 lead.

After the Hornets answered in the third on a touchdown pass from Mitch Senecal to Ben Champagne, McDonald found Brandon Snow early in the fourth quarter as the two connected on a 30-yard touchdown pass to give the Patriots a lead they would not let go of.

Snow finished with 49 receiving yards on three grabs, while Landon Shay added 57 receiving yards on three catches.

For the Hornets, Senecal was limited to 66 passing yards while being held to 40 rushing yards (leading rusher for the team). In all, the Patriots held a 257-179 advantage in yards from scrimmage.

Trent Bourdeau had an interception for the Patriots, while Brady Pennington and Timothy O’Meara had picks for the Hornets.

The Patriots will next face Peru at the Apple Bowl Sept. 24 in a 1:30 p.m. start, while the Hornets host Beekmantown Sept. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Dalton McDonald threw for 220 yards in a win over the Pattsburgh High Hornets Sept. 16.
