ELIZABETHTOWN | All-way stop lights are activated at the foot of the Town Hill in Elizabethtown. New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) turned on all four blinking stop lights on Tuesday, Nov. 26. The new traffic device requires people to stop at all four points where State Routes 9 and 9N intersect heading into and out of Elizabethtown. DOT Region 1 Director Patrick Barnes said the new all-stop configuration is designed to increase safety at the intersection.
“The Department listened to the community and reviewed crash and traffic data at this intersection before undertaking this project, which will boost safety for all users — motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists alike,” he said in a news announcement. The project added flashing red lights and stop signs with warning beacons. Stop signs north and south of the intersection have been covered with black plastic for a few months. The reconfiguration changes a traffic pattern in place since 1966 that had vehicles stopped only at the east/westbound approaches from Water Street or River Street (Route 9N). DOT also moved crosswalks and
sidewalk curb ramps closer to the intersection to improve pedestrian visibility, Barnes said. “All-Way” was added to the stop signs at all sides of the intersection. And DOT has placed “Stop Ahead” markings on the roadway pavement. “T he changes are expected to improve visibility for pedestrians and reduce collisions, thus improving safety for all users and boosting pedestrian mobility,” Barnes said. DOT pointed to a similar all-stop traffic pattern change they made five years ago in Ticonderoga where Routes 9N, 22 and 74 intersect. See TRAFFIC LIGHT » pg. 3

Fire destroys Mid-Station Lodge at Whiteface Blaze possibly started in restaurant kitchen area By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER
WILMINGTON | Fire consumed the MidStation Lodge at Whiteface Mountain last Saturday night, leaving a blackened hulk of ice-coated debris. The wide wooden porch, a favorite perch for area skiers, is gone. Wilmington Supervisor-Elect Roy Holzer expressed a community feeling of loss, as
the lodge was a midway point for skiers going up and down the mountain. “A piece of Wilmington history went up in flames last night,” Holzer said in a message via social media on Sunday morning. “Mid-Station Lodge was definitely unique to our mountain. Sadly the building was a total loss. However, the memories will remain. “To their credit, the staff at Whiteface will open the mountain today,” Holzer said Sunday. “It shows the dedication they have to the ski center and our community of Wilmington and the area. We stand ready to help in any way we can. Words cannot express our gratitude to the local volunteer firefighters who
worked so hard at this fire.” Firefighters accessed the fire via snowmobiles and snow cats, and used snow guns to keep the fire at bay, according to Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish. “They used snow guns to get it out. Fire started in the kitchen area,” Jaquish said. “We reviewed all the cameras at the lodge but there was no camera focused at the point of origin. Two Whiteface employees tried to put the fire out in the kitchen. But it got too intense and they had to leave. I don’t know if they were running a snow gun and saw the fire.”
ESSEX COUNT Y | Municipalities, civic groups, organizations and private entities in the Adirondacks were recently awarded smart-growth grants totaling more than $2.1 million in an effort to boost local municipalities’ local economies, their recreational and cultural amenities and area tourism — while protecting the environment.

The blaze remains under investigation by Essex County Fire and Investigation teams and the State Office of Fire Prevention and Control. Jaquish said he called in state officials due to the value of the property and the ongoing investigation. Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) spokesman Jon Lunin said no injuries occurred before or while fighting the fire. It was reported by a Whiteface Mountain employee at 8:46 p.m., ORDA said. Wilmington Fire Department, along with Upper Jay and Jay Volunteer Fire departments responded to a fully active structure fire with approximately 20 personnel.
Mid-Station Lodge build in 1960 – Dedicated in 1961 to Arthur G. Draper Historical news records that Mid-Station Lodge was the “largest new project” on Whiteface in December 1960. The Lake Placid News on Dec. 8 that year touted construction of the $170,000 lodge, its “Swiss Modern” design providing seats in the restaurant for 125 people. The expansive porch surrounding the lodge, historical accounts record, “will be a popular congregation point for skier and observer alike.” Huge glass windows were placed
around the building so everyone could watch skiers come and go from the summit lift, or drop into the “Mixing Bowl” as trails converge. The Boreen Trail was built at the same time as “a pleasant descent” from Mid-Station. In August 1960, the Essex County Republican reported construction was let under then Whiteface General Manager Arthur G. Draper. The ski center hired Harvey Construction Co. out of Plattsburgh and Utica to build it. Mid-Station Lodge was dedicated in February
What remains of the popular Mid-Station Lodge at Whiteface Mountain after fire last Saturday night tore through the building, which was strategically placed above the Mixing Bowl in 1960.
1961 with a plaque commemorating the life, talents and work of Arthur Draper, who had died suddenly four months earlier on Oct. 15, 1960. Draper served in the 10th Mountain Division as a medic in World War II. He had been working to build the Marble Mountain ski center on the shoulder of Whiteface when war broke out. Draper was instrumental in dedicating Whiteface Mountain to the 10th Mountain Division, famed ski soldiers whose divisions are now based at Fort Drum. ■

“We still haven’t come to a conclusion as to how it started,” Jaquish said Tuesday morning. ORDA said the loss would not impact daily operations or force any trail closures. And it hasn’t. “The lodge was fully operational throughout the day (Saturday) with this being the resort’s 12th day of operation during the 2019-2020 season. Whiteface welcomed approximately 1,400 guests Saturday.” ORDA has not said yet how or whether they will rebuild. But Mid-Station Lodge at Whiteface was one of many projects in line for renovations as part of ORDA’s 2020-21 capital program. “Yes that was definitely on the punch list for things to be done,” according to ORDA Vice President of Marketing and Sales Scott Christiansen. “What we are doing is looking at all the different options of what that space could be, what the needs are, what our guests are telling us. We can’t really make any recommendations to the state just yet.” ■

“Following that change, right-angle-type collisions were reduced by 75 percent. (DOT) expects to see a comparable reduction in collisions at the intersection of Routes 9 and 9N and Water Street in Elizabethtown,” Barnes said. In the announcement, Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) said taking the guesswork out of this intersection should help keep drivers and pedestrians safer. “This is especially relevant being a tourist area, welcoming a lot of first-time visitors who might not be familiar with the travel patterns.” Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Shaun Gillilland said Essex County is a proud partner with DOT, working to improve transportation infrastructure and ensure safety for drivers and pedestrians. “The installation of this traffic control pattern illustrates this concern, and is the result of close cooperation with many agencies including town, county, and state,” Gillilland said. ■ Photos by Dan Alexander

And the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation, Inc. at 15 Broadway in Saranac Lake won $50,000 to expand its educational and retail presence. In nearby Tupper Lake, major planning projects earned significant funding for winter recreation and Adirondack sky watchers. The Town of Tupper Lake won $100,000 toward their planned outdoor winter recreation center. And the Adirondack Sky Center at 178 Big Wolf Rd. won $75,000 toward design and construction of its AstroScience Center Museum and Planetarium.

Two theatres and Historic Saranac Lake’s new Trudeau Museum project were among successful applicants.
DEPOT PARKING
In Westport, the Town of Westport won $18,660 to improve and pave the parking lot and update accessible access infrastructure at the Depot Theatre. Depot Theatre Executive Director Kim Rielly said the grant was awarded to the Town of Westport, which owns the historic depot/theatre building and maintains the parking lot. “Our Depot staff worked collaboratively with town employees and Supervisor Ike Tyler to develop a work plan and submit the grant application,” Rielly told the Sun. “The funds will be used to improve access to the active, historic circa 1876 building, which serves as a functioning Amtrak train station, a visitor information center and the Adirondacks’ only professional Equity theatre, The Depot Theatre.” The grant will support renovations to upper and lower parking lots and construction of a walkway with a handrail on the hill between them, she said. “The potholed, crumbling driveway will be repaved and re-striped, ensuring that it’s safer, with all parking spaces clearly marked for those coming to catch a train or a theatre production,” Rielly said. “Safe access to the building is essential to the Town of Westport employees who maintain it; to the Amtrak passengers and theatre staff that utilize the building every day of the year; and of course, to our theatre patrons,

In a statement with the announcement,
ARTS, HISTORY WIN BIG IN SARANAC LAKE
Historic Saranac Lake (HSL) won $37,150 to support site plan design for expansion of the Trudeau museum campus in downtown Saranac Lake. Earlier this year, HSL acquired the former homestead and offices of Edward Livingston Trudeau, “the Trudeau Building,” at 118 Main Street, with plans to conjoin it with the Saranac Laboratory building next door. The funding will be used to integrate site planning and attract arts and culture tourism to the Village of Saranac Lake, HSL Executive Director Amy Catania said of their award. “Careful site-plan design is important for

who are going to be thrilled!” Supervisor Tyler said improved access to Westport’s iconic train station is long overdue. “We’re grateful that the importance of investment in such an essential historic site, transportation hub and cultural resource for
this location because of its central location downtown, its historical importance and the potential impact on the patterns of vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian circulation,” she said. The site plan looks to create a seamless visitor experience by integrating the two
buildings and the various exhibit spaces. Trudeau Museum recently won two other major grants: $500,000 from the State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation toward purchase of the Trudeau building and exterior rehabilitation, plus $325,000 from the state Downtown Revitalization Initiative for interior rehabilitation of the Trudeau house. Catania said HSL has, to date, secured an additional $400,000 in grants and private support toward their total $3.5 million goal. Once the integ rated site plan and detailed schematic design are complete, they will be reviewed by the State Office of Historic Preservation. “Once plans are approved, building rehabilitation will begin in the summer of 2020,” Catania said. “The community will be excited to see the building come back to its original grandeur. We look forward to removing the vinyl siding and replacing it with wood clapboards in the original deep red color. The historic front portico entrance will be rebuilt. It’s going to be beautiful.”
Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Shaun Gillilland said they appreciate Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s focus on Adirondack communities. “We share Gov. Cuomo’s vision of making our region a tremendous place to live, work, and recreate,” Gillilland said. “These Smart Growth grants will have direct and lasting impact on improving the quality of life and economies of our towns and region.” Cuomo calls smart growth planning “crucial” for protection of the environment and rural economies. “This round of Smart Growth grants will help support a broad range of initiatives designed to build stronger, more livable communities throughout the Adirondack and Catskill parks and complement our ongoing efforts to make these regions world-class destinations,” Cuomo said. The Department of Environmental Conservation administers Smart Growth grant funds, which are drawn from the state Environmental Protection Fund (EPF). ■

American Legion to lay wreaths at Essex County Veterans Cemetery Dec. 8 event is part of national Wreaths Across America program By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER
Find locally handmade gifts and support local crafters at a Christmas Craft Fair at the Social Center on Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sunday, Dec. 15. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day there will be over a dozen crafters selling their creations, an ornamentmaking class for those who wish to make their own creations, and yummy breakfast and lunch offered by DaCy Meadow Farm. Vendors include: As You Wish Signs by Dina; Marsha Fenimore; Kelly’s Kreations; Paintings by Kim Hutchins; BRand Crafts; TJ Country Candles; Carol’s Creations; Scarilark Studio; Little Hills Farm; Solitude Soapworks; Bert’s Jams and Jellies; Bernie’s Beard Oil and Paracord; Peaka View Crafts; and Custom Woodworking. DaCy Meadow Farm will offer coffee and scones; soups and chili; baked goods; and take-and-bake meals. We will judge the annual Arthur Hooper Decorating Contest on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 5 to 9 p.m. Please contact us with your name and address to be added to our route. You may also nominate a neighbor. Homes and businesses in New Russia, Elizabethtown, and Lewis will be judged in categories of Most Original, Most Beautiful, and the Spirit of Christmas. Winners will have their names engraved on a permanent plaque and receive a gift. Many people ask how our winners are chosen. Our panel of judges varies each year and has different ideas for what winning decorations should look like. However, some factors seem consistent year-to-year. If you are looking for advice, here are our tips: Judges prefer a display which has an overall design with a sense of tidiness and organization. Displays with lots of varieties of lights and decorations randomly scattered about are not often selected. A yard chuck-full of organized decorations is all sorts of fun, and often a contender. But just as often, a small display that is unique and well-presented takes a prize. Judges seem to prefer the look of incandescent lights over LEDs. No one is staunchly anti-LED, but a majority of winning decorations have been incandescent. Most judges do agree the two types should rarely be mixed. Judges seem to enjoy both all-white and multi-colored displays. One single color is rarely chosen as a winner. These are just a few observations from past contests. The most important thing to remember is to create a design that you enjoy coming home to each night! We highly recommend ignoring our tips in favor of your personal preferences. ■ — Details can be found at elizabethtownsocialcenter. org and on Facebook. Contact us at info@eliza-

COLUMNIST
Gia is one of the thirteen cats that was dumped at the shelter one hot morning this past summer. Like the other 12, Gia is friendly, loving and very sweet. It’s always an amazing thing to see animals that have been mistreated who are still so welcoming of human interaction, and Gia is a prime example of this. We assume Gia is about one. This svelte tortoise shell cat is quite the looker, with huge golden eyes. She has a very sweet disposition around both humans and cats, though we’re not sure how she’d react to dogs. Gia is very outgoing and is happy to receive all the attention you could possibly want to dote on her. She enjoys cuddles and being held, and

quite young and has plenty of energy, as well. She loves running around the room chasing toys and playing with the other cats, and jumping in the window to watch the birds. She is a curious kitty with a keen eye, who regularly attempts to dash out of her room in between your feet to explore the unknown corners of the cat hall. Being such a sweet and social girl, Gia would make an easy addition to a current household of cats. She is often found napping on top of the cat tower, cuddling up to the other cats in the room. Gia would also make a wonderful companion to any person, young or old, as long as they have ample love to shower on her. A cat this special should not be missed! Come down to the shelter and meet Gia, she’s sure to steal your heart. ■ — The North Country SPCA’s weekly column works to publicize the shelter’s adoptable pets. Find out more at www.ncspca.org.

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline
Support requested for The SUN
Each week, we do our best to provide our readers with timely, accurate community news, as well as coverage of education, features on engaging community members, and the high school sports coverage you have come to expect. We see it as our role to highlight the good things that are happening in our North Country communities, and to shine a spotlight on the many wonderful volunteers and organizations that might otherwise go unrecognized. More often than not, when we cover an event, we’re the only media there. Gone are the days when one of the paid regional dailies or local broadcast entities sent a camera operator and reporter to cover local events. Only the rare story that might have regional appeal is picked up by other entities. But while we’ve outlasted the competition for hyperlocal news, competition for advertising dollars – the lifeblood of our newspapers – has increased. At the same time, price increases beyond our control, affecting the cost of personnel, newsprint, supplies, equipment, and postage have increased and will continue to increase in the future. These challenges are not unique to The SUN. Newspapers across the country are struggling with the burden of increased costs and declining advertising revenues. In the past five years, more than 1,800 weaker publications have already collapsed under the weight.
PUBLISHER
Change is inevitable in everything. Those who refuse to accept the changes and adapt to the new norm, more often than not, find themselves in serious trouble. Our business model and our rural communities are currently undergoing some significant changes that must be addressed. We see changes all around us here in the North Country and across the nation. We see changes in political and cultural attitudes, in social activity, shopping patterns, and medical procedures. And yes, even changes with our local media companies. Sometimes change can be for the best, and yet other changes may not be all that welcomed when we see long-time valuable services changing, not for the better. Over the last few years, we’ve realized that our business model requires us to seek new revenue sources if we are to maintain and improve upon the services we provide with The SUN. Local news in rural communities such as ours requires a locally owned organization like The SUN to employ reporters and support staff to keep the local population well informed. Unlike other media companies that require payment or no service, we recognize that not everyone can afford a paid subscription. Many of our residents are on fixed incomes, but yet they still need easy access to the information we provide. For over 70 years, our fate has always been in the hands of the good folks here in our local communities. Many years ago, when we converted the newspaper from paid to one delivered free to every home by the U.S. Postal Service, we had faith that the community, if the service was valued the financial support would follow. So as times change, we now know that if our free services are to continue in its current form we will need to ask our readers to consider a voluntary subscription. We know it’s not the conventional approach, but typically we haven’t made a practice of following the traditional path. To my right is an editorial that outlines our plans and why this request is necessary. Inside the paper, you’ll find a half-page house ad that shows how you can support your local news coverage in The SUN. All the dollars brought in through this ongoing effort will go to fund our reporting staff spread throughout the vast region we cover. Our hope is we can raise enough dollars to expand our news coverage both in print and online while continuing to serve the region for many years to come. I thank you in advance for your consideration of our request. ■

I n look i ng for ways to cont rol expenses, we’ve attempted to make some reductions in our coverage area. In turn, readers, advertisers, and even town officials have stressed how important the role of The SUN plays in reaching and serving our rural communities. Now, before it is too late, we’re asking you to help us continue to perform The SUN’s mission of providing you with a source of compelling and accurate community news. Please consider for a moment the value you receive from the news, features, sports, commentary, fliers and local marketing information you read each week in your SUN. Is that worth 50 cents a week to you? Or $1? Perhaps more? If so, then, please consider contributing to this critical source of local journalism. Some of our readers may recall, the concept of paying for a subscription to the weekly newspaper is not a new one. Not too many years ago, the only way to receive our local weekly newspaper was to pay for an annual subscription or to plop down 50 cents a copy at a local convenience store. Over the years, we made the decision to deliver the paper to every household, free of charge. In doing so, local merchants and commercial operators were anxious to have their information provided to the readers in The SUN, delivered through the U.S. Postal Service.
That model of distribution helped us to increase our circulation and fill a valuable void at a time when other newspapers were experiencing circulation declines. And, for several years, we saw a corresponding uptick in advertising because our clients gained the benefit of those additional readers through our expanded reach. But, with new advertising competition as well as changes in consumer buying habits, that trendline has changed. While local advertising is, and will remain, our core revenue source, current trends suggest that without reader support, advertising alone will not cover the high costs we face maintaining our current rural circulation reach. That is where you come in. By providing The SUN with Enhanced Support (see page 2), you will help preserve and strengthen this vital community resource. You will also be eligible for monthly prize drawings and be invited to join our staff for periodic events where you can share your thoughts about the community, the newspaper, and how we can make The SUN an even more vital part of your community. For more than seventy years, Denton Publications, now rebranded as The SUN, has been telling the story of this magnificent area. With your support, we can continue to share the stories for many years to come. — Dan Alexander, Publisher ■

Dinner for veterans
man with a cane and coke bottle glasses. For decades he was a fixture at WCS sporting events and a custodian. If there was a game, he was there. Helping with water, first aid, equipment…whatever was needed. Especially basketball. He’d dress up in his best duds, his red sport jacket, and be a solid assistant to his idol, Athletic Director/Coach Scorsome. Many were fooled by his thick glasses, his stiff jointed movement, and his difficult to understand speech, but within that body was the heart of a champion, unrecognized athletic ability, and the faithfulness of a Labrador Retriever. He was destined for a challenging life when his mother contracted German Measles during pregnancy. That is what made Arnie, Arnie…the man who loved WCS, its sports, and all of the people associated with it. Notwithstanding his physical limitations, I personally witnessed his latent athleticism while working summers as an WCS janitor. An able-bodied co-worker, a future area elected official, challenged Arnie to a one-on-one basketball game for $5. Arnie accepted. The youngster was quite surprised when
To the Editor: As a veteran, I recently attended an event at the Elizabethtown Social Center where the staff and student members hosted an excellent dinner for area veterans. I would like to thank the social center staff, Arin Burdo and Shari Morris along with parent’s Sarah and Robert Rice for their sincere kindness and respect to those of us present. It was so very gratifying to have the students from Boquet Valley Schools who are members of the Social Center, meet us at the door, take our coats and seat us and then serve the veterans. I can’t express enough how very proud I was of our social center staff and members. KUDOS to all. Thank you. — Dave Blades, Lewis ■

that funny-talking, stiff-jointed fellow with thick glasses sank his first three shots from outside and surged ahead. The future public official’s pride/ money was on the line, so he got physical. He worked inside and used his body, shaken that his presumably slam dunk victory wasn’t happening. Arnie could not compete with the larger, younger man’s physicality, but he never complained. In the end, he handed over the $5…without a peep. True sportsmanship. That is why Arnie Stoker was, and always will be, THE Willsboro Warrior. — Doug Ferris, Willsboro ■

TFCU offering scholarships
TICONDEROGA | Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (soon to be TrailNorth Federal Credit Union effective Jan. 1, 2020) is offering local high school seniors a chance to win scholarships for college. TFCU is participating in the New York Credit Union Association’s statewide credit union college scholarship program, which provides credit union members with scholarships. In 2019, TFCU awarded $1,500 in college scholarships to three high school seniors. To be eligible, students must be high school seniors attending two- or four-year accredited educational institutions for the first time in fall 2020. They must also be members of Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union. Students/applicants will be competing against other credit union members from across the state.

Plans to reconstruct a 1756 sawmill along the Lachute River in Ticondergoa — as depicted in this drawing — are moving forward after the state announced a $100,000 grant to help pay for construction designs of the venue, expected to be a popular attraction downtown. Courtesy illustration Adirondack Mountain Club was awarded a $66,000 grant to survey and re-design the hiker parking area at the group’s Heart Lake Program Center. Located at the busiest trailhead accessing the High Peaks Wilderness area, The Center attracts up to 100,000 visitors annually. Saranac Lake Village is to receive quite a few grants for various local projects. In an effort to boost arts and cultural tourism, the state has earmarked $37,150 to design a museum campus in the village’s historic downtown area. A grant of $100,000 is to go to Saranac Lake’s BluSeed Studios, an art gallery and cultural venue in a historic train warehouse. The money is earmarked for building upgrades and to create a pavilion, an outside classroom and concert area with adjacent sidewalks. The money is also to be spent on expansion and upgrades to the venue’s planned Pollinator Garden. Saranac Lake’s Adirondack Loon Center is to receive $50,000 to expand and improve its retail displays and educational exhibits, and boost its staffing. A grant of $30,000 was awarded to Adirondack Hamlets to Huts Trails Center in Saranac Lake for their interpretive displays that encourage forest stewardship and hiking safety. Pendragon Theatre in Saranac Lake is to receive $100,00 to plan its proposed facility’s energy conservation improvements, permeable pavement and drought-resistant landscaping. Pendragon

The towns of Lake George and Queensbury were jointly awarded $75,000 to help launch development of the McPhillips Preserve at French Mountain, a 320-acre park off Bloody Pond Road on the side of French Mountain. The grant is to be used to draft final designs and prepare permits for a series of hiking and mountain biking trails, in addition to preparing plans for an outdoor meeting space, parking areas and signs. The town of Chester was awarded $30,000 to develop a master plan for the Cunningham Community Forest Trail, to be primarily located on a 104-acre town-owned plot of woods in the hamlet of Chestertown. Plans call for extending an existing nature trail adjacent to the Chester Municipal Center and connecting it to the sidewalks in Chestertown, creating a pleasant pedestrian loop on which citizens can experience nature.
HAMILTON CO. ALSO TO BENEFIT FROM GRANTS
In Hamilton County, the village of Speculator and the county government were grant awardees. Speculator is to receive $100,000 toward the restoration and reconstruction of the 1930s-era Hooker Hill fire tower to be situated in the village’s Ballfield Park. Hamilton County government is to receive $66,500- to study conditions of up to 10 priority recreational trails that lead to backcountry recreational venues. In a prepared statement, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said these grants would help create more livable communities while boosting tourism and local economies. Praising Gov. Cuomo, Hamilton County Board of Supervisors chairman Bill Farber said the grants in his county would boost recreational opportunities. In a companion statement, Shaun Gilliland said the funded projects would have lasting impact on improving the region’s quality of life and sustainability. “We share Gov. Cuomo’s vision of making our region a tremendous place to live, work, and recreate,” he said. ■

In Essex County, various projects in the towns of Ticonderoga and Westport, as well as in the High Peaks region and in the village of Saranac Lake, are to be funded with hundreds of thousands of dollars. A grant of $99,624 was awarded to Essex County Cooperative Extension to assist Adirondack Harvest in their website development, media promotion and outreach events. Based in Lewis, Adirondack Harvest strives to support local sustainable farming and agriculture by developing markets for their products. The town of Ticonderoga is to receive $100,000 to draft plans for reconstruction of an 18th century sawmill, to feature a waterwheel and a water flume from the LaChute River to the sawmill. The grant is also to bankroll plans for the venue’s site work, parking lot and utility service. The Fort Ticonderoga Association was awarded $100,000 to add accessibility features to the Fort’s 1826 Pavilion, including a larger entrance foyer, new bathrooms and a wrap-around porch. The Essex County Industrial Development Agency was awarded $100,000 towards the revitalization of Ticonderoga’s Main Street businesses. The money would help bankroll a microenterprise grant fund to help businesses expand or to spark new enterprises. State officials say a more relevant array of goods and services are needed in downtown Ticonderoga, and that the historic character of the village needs to be preserved. A sum of $18,660 has been allocated for the Westport train station — to boost its accessibility, and upgrade its parking lot. The iconic 1876 station hosts not only Amtrak passengers, but the Depot Theatre. The town of Keene is to receive $88,850 for its trailhead improvement project. The grant is to fund work to enhancing the public’s access to the High Peaks. Primarily involving the Marcy Field Trailhead parking area, the project features adding signs to identify connector trails and expanding the hiker shuttle route. The grant is also to bankroll paving work, and paying for staff to provide visitor information and hiker education.

Red Storm Goats hope to keep hope to carry on running momentum winning streak
Logan Hathaway SARANAC LAKE | Over the past year-plus, the Saranac Lake varsity boys running program, including track and field, has seen its share of success, something coach Cy Ellsworth plans to continue entering the 2019-20 indoor season. “The focus of our preseason has been to continue the success we have had as a program on the track
and in cross country,” said Ellsworth. “We have been without some of our kids through the preseason due to the cross country kids having the success that they have had. The focus has been to work on getting stronger, becoming more flexible and refining skills in events.” Ellsworth said the biggest strengths are in distance and throws, led by Patrick Alberga. “We have a group of cross countr y runners (Peter Fogarty, Micah McCulley and Caleb Shoemaker) that continue to write record books here in Saranac Lake who bring a superior work ethic into the season,” he added. Jacob Adams will also be a contributor in the sprints. Members of the Red Storm squad include Patrick Alberga, Jacob Adams, Austin Barry, Logan Branch, Brice Callaghan, Mitchell Ellsworth, Peter Fogarty, Logan Hathaway, Jeremy Howland, Evan Hochwald, Ben Isabella, Micah McCulley, Connor McMinn, Dylan Murnane, Brennan Nobles, Alex Purner, Raymond Santiago, Caleb Shoemaker and Soren Wolford. ■

DEATH NOTICES
1952 - 2019
KEENE | Robin Gail (Pelkey) Lawrence, 67, of Keene, died at home on Wednesday, November 20, 2019, from complications of lupus. She was born on December 1, 1951, at St. Clare’s Hospital in Schenectady, N.Y., to Jean (Hickok) and Robert Pelkey. You know you are in trouble when two specialists tell you it would be better if you had cancer, because they could try to treat that. The only thing they can do for lupus patients is to try to make you comfortable. This affects everyone. There is no known cause, and there is no treatment. The only certainty is DEATH. So, when you think about cancer, think about other diseases. Cancer and heart disease are not the only killers. By the way, in plain English, she DIED. As far as she knew, there was no textbook to study, so there is no way she could have “passed away.” Even if you do pass away, how do you get your grade? There was no expiration date stamped on her body—she checked! When did we get so afraid of the word that describes what happens to us all? Death—a good, honest word. We hope she entered into the arms of the Lord when she died, but we aren’t too sure and neither was she. The last words she wished to share are: If you see something wrong, do something about it! Robin worked for several years as a nurse at St. Peter’s Hospital and Albany County Skilled Nursing Facility. She also worked at Lawrence’s Service Station with her husband, Armand. Robin is survived by her husband, Armand (Chick) Lawrence of Keene, N.Y.; her son, Patrick (Jennifer) Lawrence of Georgia; beloved cousin and adopted daughter Rose M. Van Wormer of Lake Placid, N.Y.; beloved cousin Jimmy Hanlon and family; her beloved animals, Chloe, Farley, Jessie and Karma, all of Keene, N.Y. Robin was predeceased by her parents, her sister Joyce, and most of her other relatives as well as beloved pets Amber, Gus, Fritz, Heathcliff, Ching, Jade, Koko, Louie, Mandy, Ozma and Topaz. The family would like to thank High Peaks Hospice for the care they have given to Robin over the last year, especially her volunteers, Elizabeth and Colleen. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2019, at 1 p.m. at St. Brendan’s Church in Keene, N.Y. The Rev. John Yonkovig will officiate. Robin’s last request was that bright colors be worn to her funeral, and men are to remove their hats at the door. In lieu of flowers, donations in Robin’s memory may be made to the ASPCA. Arrangements have been entrusted to Heald Funeral Home, 7521 Court Street, Elizabethtown. To light a memorial candle or leave an online condolence please visit healdfuneralhomeinc.com ■

ELIZABETHTOWN | Richard M. Olcott, 96, of Elizabethtown, N.Y., passed away at UVM Health Center ECH on Friday, November 22, 2019, with his son Rick, daughter-in-law Gay, and grandsons Joshua Richard and Jared Foster by his side. He was born in Moriah on July 9, 1923, to Roy Olcott and Lillabelle (Fish) Olcott. Richard, also known as “Dick,” served in the Navy from 1942 to 1946. He was stationed in Pearl Harbor, then served on the USS Croatan during World War II. He enjoyed telling stories about his time serving our country and it solidified his distaste for liver and onions. When he returned home he worked for Republic Steel in the mines in Mineville, N.Y. Following his time in the mines, he was a New York State Forest Ranger for 27 years and loved the Adirondacks. He knew the trails like no other. He was a 46’er many times over because of his work and also just because he loved the outdoors. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and outdoorsman and made the best venison stew you could imagine. He married the love of his life, Alice Alphonse, on February 20, 1949. She predeceased him in May 1997. She always stayed his only love and he told us often that “There was no one quite like my Alice.” They raised two sons, Richard Foster Olcott of Elizabethtown, N.Y., and David Roy Olcott of Oxford, Ga. They were their pride and joy. He is survived by his sons and their wives, Gay Olcott and Christi Olcott respectively; five grandchildren: Jennifer (Brad) Batty of Redford, N.Y., Joshua (Jennifer) Olcott of Elizabethtown, N.Y., Joy (Patrick) Borrette of Morrisonville, N.Y., Jessie (Nick) Pepe of Keene, N.Y., and Jared (Stacey Lapierre) Olcott of Elizabethtown, N.Y. He is also survived by his loving great grandchildren: Elliot and Noah Batty, Emma and Kaya Olcott, Olive and Stark Borrette, Senna, Ava and Hera Pepe and Grayson Foster Olcott, who will be arriving in February. He is also survived by several nephews and nieces as well as his sistersin-law: Santina Trybendis and Betty Vanderhoof. Dick could tell a story like no other and his memory was impeccable. He spoke his mind often and was very matter of fact, but always presented himself with grace and tact. His sense of humor was on point and made us all understand the importance of laughter every day. He loved to cook and was the master of such creations as “Pie in a Puddle.” He taught us all a lot about life, friendship, integrity, hard work, honesty, respect and love—love for his country, love for the outdoors, but most importantly, love for his family, who will forever cherish their time with him. He will always be our real-life hero. There will be no calling hours. A Service of Remembrance will be held at The Church of the Good Shepherd on Williams Street in Elizabethtown on Saturday, December 7 at 4:30 p.m. The burial will be held at St. Elizabeth’s Cemetery for Dick to be laid to rest near his beloved Alice. A reception will be held following the burial at The Arsenal Inn. D onat ion s may b e made to t he Elizabethtown Ambulance Squad, who were always there for him. We love you, Grampa. “End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take.” J.R.R Tolkien Arrangements have been entrusted to Heald Funeral Home, 7521 Court Street, Elizabethtown.

Counties oppose new bail reform Discovery & Bail Reform Law in effect in January By Sarah Elizabeth Morris STAFF WRITER
that ought to be able to have three days to be kicked around the public and of course with the state constitution to make sure that this is in fact in the people’s interest.” Though there was voting on the bail reform, the law ended up passing in a private session in Albany with the governor. New York State Assemblyman Billy Jones, though not at the event, spoke on the process of approving the law. “With over 20 years of law enforcement experience, I completely understand the need for responsible bail reform. However, for the past two legislative sessions, I have consistently voted no on the provisions that were presented to the Assembly as both stand alone bills, and in the budget, because I believe the legislation went too far and is not only presenting a severe public safety risk, but is pushing too many mandates on our local governments, too quickly,” Jones said. “I am standing with our local prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and the overwhelming majority of constituents that have contacted my office, to oppose these new laws. These laws tie the hands of prosecutors and law enforcement officials, while putting too many dangerous criminals back on the streets. It is for these
reasons that I voted against the bail reform measures that have been put forth in the legislature and I am calling on my colleagues to work with our judicial and law enforcement
partners to scale back these conditions. We must ensure the safety of the public is not jeopardized, while trying to find common sense solutions on bail reform and discovery.” ■
PL AT TSBURGH | The Clinton, Essex and Franklin County District came to the Clinton County Mental Health and Addiction Amphitheater to criticize the impacts of the Bail and Discovery Reform laws, which will go into effect on New Year’s Day 2020. The new law in New York sets limits to monetary, or cash, bail for certain, lesser crimes, give less time and more necessities for evidence gathering in criminal cases and increases someone’s right to a statutory speedy trial; the idea being to avoid mass incarceration. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed off on the bill in May 2019, giving almost 900 prisoners with non-violent crimes and felonies the ability to go free. The majority of law enforcement and politicians in the North Country are Local protest: Law enforcement and politicians from Clinton, Essex and Franklin County against this new law, and on Tuesday, Nov. 27, gathered to get the word out about the new discovery and bail reform and how it will hurt the three county’s law enforcement and others the state and victims. Photo by Sarah Elizabeth Morris gathered at the Behavioral Health Services North to speak on the problems with the law. “Our offices are now expected to do 90-95 percent the work with the same staff and budget,” Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said. “Each of our agencies have been seeking additional funding through their respective village, town and city county court.
