Count shows write-in candidate has insurmountable lead By Keith Lobdell

ELIZABETHTOWN — Stacks of white ballots on the desk of, “the pod,” proved why the Ticonderoga election count received its own day Nov. 13. Almost 800 ballots had to be inspected by hand by Essex County Board of Elections Commissioners Allison McGahay and Mark Whitney, finding that, once regular, affidavit and absentee ballots were counted, write-in candidate Joseph Giordano was the Supervisor-elect in the town of Ticonderoga, defeating incumbent Bill Grinnell by a margin of 792-374. One twist to the canvassing of the vote was commissioners were able to count votes for Giordano that had only his first or last name written. “In the town of Essex (Nov. 12), we ran into a situation

SCHROON LAKE— Moriah graduate Nicholas Allen took to the stage Tuesday morning at Schroon Lake Central School, along with former classmates and other members of On Common Ground. Together, with aid from the Prevention Team, a Ticonderoga-based non-profit agency, the group of more than a dozen students travel to schools in Essex County with an anti-bullying and suicide prevention message in the form of a moving and emotional short play. Allen takes on a challenging role, a bully viciously attacking students. His character, John, has a change of heart, realizing the damage his actions have causes and joins oth-
ers in battling bullies in the fictional school setting. For Allen, the change of heart isn’t fiction. While not indicating the level of bullying he’d previously engaged in, “I was a bully,” he admitted. It was seeing such a performance that immediately affected him. “I felt it here,” he said touching his chest. “I realized what I’d been doing and I stopped.” He didn’t just stop, he joined the group, now reprising his role for the third year, returning though he graduated last year. The students, led by Melissa Reilly, a Moriah teacher and the group’s director, drafted the script themselves, tweaking it each year >> Story Continued | pg. 5

Small Business Saturday grows in its sixth year
Ticonderoga area businesses helped by annual shopping event By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
TICONDEROGA — Small Business Saturday is entering its sixth year nationally and in Ticonderoga, continuing to grow annually. “It has become one of the biggest days of the year for our businesses,” Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright said. “We team up to help promote specials and other sales promotions, and the businesses have been appreciative of the support they receive from both the chamber and American Express, who came up with the idea.” Small Business Saturday, created by American Express in 2010, takes place on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, Nov. 28, as a day dedicated to supporting small businesses
across the country. “I have seen a shift in people thinking local since this started, but I think the shift needs to happen quicker,” Courtright said. “The businesses here support the local organizations and schools, so we need to support them or they will not be there.” To help, Courtright said the chamber plans to start a “Think Local,” campaign throughout 2016. “It is something we wanted to do as one of our main goals with the 90th anniversary of the chamber,” he said. “(Small Business Saturday) has been very successful in benefiting the local economy. We are hoping to make this year bigger and better.” Numerous businesses have registered with the Chamber to offer specials and promotions as participants in the 2015 Small Business Saturday. A list of Small Business Saturday participants can be found on the following page. Small business Saturday also helps kick off the annual North Country Christmas celebration, combining local businesses, organizations and clubs to help launch the holiday season. “We felt this was a good thing to incorporate into the 10day celebration we have,” Courtright said.

as they continue to do more research on the subject of bullying. The facts they learn are incorporated into the play. While this could lead to a dry, databased assembly, it’s quite the opposite. The group tackles issues of bullying gay and lesbian students, a “too-masculine” football player, the tactic of bullying anyone who may be different than you and self-harm. Tears welled in students eyes in the afternoon performance, held at Minerva Central School. “I think this has more impact because it’s there peers, instead of adults, up here on stage,” said Timothy Farrell, Superintendent of Schools. At both schools, the audience was allowed to ask the cast questions following the play. The actors stayed in char-

acter, which prompted emotion and escalating questions from the audience. Brittany Werber, took on the role of a bully named Jamie. When asked why she bullied, she refused to admit she bullied, instead saying she was joking or that the targets of the harsh words were too sensitive and the ones taking it too far. It didn’t sit well with the audience, who continued to ask her why. Once the students filed back to class, Werber chatted with Reilly, discussing how difficult it was to say such things. “I just wanted to say no, that’s not true,” she said, of the thoughts of a bully. In Minerva, On Common Ground added a new part of their presentation, based on feedback cards from previous schools. “We always hear they want to start and Upstanders Union,” said Reilly, a
group started by characters in the play to combat bullying. Farrell said he was hopeful the students would be interested in starting a group. If they do, they’ll be the first prompted by the play. Minerva Central School serves 125 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. “We have great kids here. We do. I think you can see bullying in any school, large or small. Even great kids can make a bad decision.” In 2013, the group won an “I Stand Against Bullying Award” presented by Safe Schools, Healthy Students for a video production on bullying. Moriah’s original video showed the dangers of bullying and how it can lead the victim to self-harm and even suicide. The video can been seen online at goo.gl/jZdX3f.

Giving thanks
n behalf of all of us here at the Sun Community News & Printing, let me wish you a happy, safe and thankful Thanksgiving holiday weekend. In these rapidly changing times our culture seems to be undergoing a massive transformation. In times like these it’s easy to find so many things about which to complain. All one needs to do is look around, pick up a newspaper, turn on the radio or TV, or log onto the Internet and you’ll find tons of material from which you can find fault. Complaining, even ranting, seems to be our most popular pastime these days. We can’t take lightly the challenging times we find ourselves at this point in time, but this weekend, as much as any weekend, we need to realize and reflect on all we have to be thankful for as we sit here in 2015 in this region, of this country still full of promise and opportunity, if you are willing to invest the time and effort. Hopefully your Thanksgiving weekend will be highlighted by a wonderful meal in the company of friends and family. Some of you may have lost those dear to you since last Thanksgiving and while it may be painful without them, be thankful for the good times you enjoyed with them while they were here. Treasure those previous Thanksgiving meals when you were all together. Complaining will always be a part of our lives regardless of what age we live in. When put into the context of time, challenges and frustrations will be seen as hurdles to some and opportunities to others. While some may long for the past and others can’t wait for the future make sure to take full advantage of the present. This Thanksgiving, count your blessings and cherish those you’ve been able to share it with. Regardless of your situation in life, hope and opportunity are out there. You may have to open yourself up to find them, but a truly thankful heart can always see things more clearly. Let’s all hope the unrest, wars, pessimism and doubt concerning our future can be replaced with peace and optimism. Life is way too short and regrets can build up over the years. Don’t wait until it’s too late to appreciate the many blessings in your life. Let me also take this time to thank all of you who read this column and The Sun Community Publications. We are thankful for your support and the many calls, emails and letters of encouragement you’ve sent over the past year. We intend to continue working hard to earn your support and expand our coverage of local news through all forms of media platforms. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

What did we learn from this? “
Burn After Reading” is a black comedy film by the Coen Brothers that hits upon all of their usual themes: A hapless schnook gets in over their head in an ill-conceived scheme. A seemingly random sequence of events leads to a snowball effect. Everything spins out of control. Badly. And in the end, everyone gets theirs. No one gets away clean. Right before the credits roll, a pair of federal agents attempt to find meaning in the pointless series of events that have disrupted the natural order of things. “What did we learn from this?” asked one. “I don’t know, sir,” said the other. “I guess we learned not to do it again.” Nearly six months after a pair of killers broke out of Clinton Correctional, the credits aren’t yet rolling, but many of the loose ends are now wrapping up in quick succession. Lovestruck seamstress Joyce Mitchell pleaded guilty to being the inmates’ hamburger helper and was sent to prison for up to seven years for giving them the tools that granted them their freedom. Last week, surviving inmate David Sweat pleaded guilty to the escape. He’ll remain in the hole for the next seven years, and when he gets out, he’ll likely be in administrative segregation for the rest of his life. The state trooper who ended the manhunt by plugging Sweat twice in the torso, Jay Cook, was found to be justified in using force after a formal investigation. Gene Palmer, the veteran guard who developed a buddy-buddy relationship with the inmates, exchanging tools for prison intelligence and paintings, has indicated he will fight his charges and will likely go to trial sometime next year. Superintendent Steve Racette was forced into early retirement, while nearly a dozen other prison staffers continue to be suspended. And Richard Matt, of course, is dead. What did we learn from this? Behind the scenes, the inspector general is moving closer to revealing the findings of an investigation, which was opened while the inmates were still on the lam. Unlike Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has repeatedly chalked the escape up to a jailhouse romance gone too far, Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott has alluded to deeper systemic failures that allowed the duo to wriggle free and terrorize the North Country for three weeks. Scott has indicated her report will propose reforms to help ensure state residents are never again subjected to such an event. Kudos. We’ll be eager to see how it all shakes out. Without long-term reform, however perfunctory, we envision this escapade as being as equally pointless as the events portrayed in the film. We want to touch upon something Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said last week after Sweat’s court appearance. The visibly-exasperated prosecutor was frustrated that more couldn’t be done to punish Mitchell and Sweat. Despite costs of the manhunt soaring over $23 million, Mitchell could
be out in as little as two years, while Sweat will, well, continue to be imprisoned. The state can’t enforce collecting the restitution costs imposed on the pair, which carries no timeline, nor can they drum up more charges (been there, done that). It’s debatable as to how much bite Son of Sam laws carry within the state, and how they can apply to people like Mitchell, whose crime didn’t result in any individual victims. But the convicted felon still is eligible for a state pension. Not only is Mitchell behind bars, but an assembly line of powerful state legislators are now facing their own criminal trials, including Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Sheldon Silver, the former speaker of the state assembly. With these highprofile cases continuing to garner headlines, now seems like the perfect time for lawmakers to reintroduce legislation to strengthen the provisions that would strip state workers convicted of crimes of their pensions. New York has pension forfeiture laws, but they don’t go David Sweat far enough. Not only do they not cover people like Mitchell, but the law only applies to public officials who became a member of the state’s retirement system after November 2011. Closing this loophole will at least give this sordid, pointless affair some small degree of meaning.

HelpÊ supportÊ toteÊ drive To the Editor: Seasons greetings North Country residents! It’s that time of the year when I humbly rely upon the generosity of community members, businesses and organizations to contribute to the annual Holiday Meal (Christmas) Tote Drive. Last holiday season, I delivered approximately 60 meal totes to families enduring financial difficulties, community members enduring health issues as well as senior citizens within the towns of Jay and Black Brook. With the rising food costs this year, I anticipate the number of meals will surpass the amount from last holiday season. Knowing community members will have a warm and delicious meal on Christmas Day is a wonderful feeling. However, over the past four years of coordinating the Annual Meal Tote Drive, I have developed rapports with so many of the recipients to the point where several are comfortable coming to my home to pick up their tote or stop me on the street and ask to have his/her name placed on my confidential list. I can prepare and deliver the totes, but it is the generosity of the North Country community who truly make the annual drive continued success. The following items are greatly appreciated: Turkeys, stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned corn and green beans, turkey gravy, potatoes (five-pound bags), packaged dinner rolls and apple pies (unfrozen, please). Monetary contributions may be mailed to: Kelly C. Murphy/Event Coordinator/Annual Holiday Meal Tote Drive/P.O. Box 386/Au Sable Forks/12912. Contact Number: 524-5806. Have a happy holiday season!

ThanksÊ forÊ aÊ greatÊ paper To the Editor: Thanks you for a professionally done newspaper. Without you we wouldn’t have a newspaper. It’s been a long time since I bought a copy of the so called newspaper printed in Glens Falls. When it went from fifty cents to a dollar, I quit buying it. Shopping today, I bought a copy, which was a total mistake as it was a total waste of money. Zero quality. Got home and you can’t believe my horror on looking at my cash register receipt and seeing the newspaper that is not worth even twenty-five cents now costing the ungodly sum of a $1.50. Sir, please keep up the good work on your Adirondack Journal. We need you! George Phillips Chestertown
Great run Griffins! To the Editor: The Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport boys soccer team has completed a splendid run to the NYS Class D championship game. They lost that final game, but they were not beaten. Our Griffins were magnificent in the semifinal game on Saturday defeating a physical, skilled, and determined team from Cincinnatus by a score of 2-0. It was a tough game in difficult conditions. The state championship game on Sunday was anybodies game. During 80 minutes of game time a single five second play off a corner kick determined the final score, 1-0. Fort Ann played a fair, quality game and perhaps held an advantage in the first half. The E-L/W Griffins played a fair, quality game and perhaps held an advantage in the second half. The score reflected a loss, but in watching the game you knew they weren’t beaten because they never gave up. They simply ran out of time. It was much fun to follow their run to a state championship title game and I thank them for that. Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown
DisappointmentÊ inÊ theÊ paperÊ To the Editor: I am sorry to say that I am disappointed with your newspaper. It was encouraging when you consolidated, and I expected to be better informed about things that occur in this large, rural area, which is otherwise largely ignored. However, I do not find this happening. Just before the recent elections, there was a big editorial about how we should all get out and vote. However, there was no information about the candidates and issues. Following that election, there has been no information about the results. I am still waiting to discover who will be the Essex County judge or clerk, among other things. I’m sure we would all like to be good citizens and it seems to me that a newspaper that claims to be of service to the community would fill the need to keep us informed. Carol Gregson Olmstedville
LegionÊ expressesÊ gratitude To the Editor: This past season the American Legion Auxiliary, Unite 551, Elizabethtown sponsored a Silent Art Auction to benefit Veterans and present Military in the North Country. Many are suffering from trauma, and post stress syndrome due to several deployments. Our purpose is to assist them in receiving medical assistance and service as soon as possible. Artists of many mediums and collectors contributed to the success of our auction. A special part of our success was having the auction hosted by Beki and Bruce Pushee at the Old Mill Studio Gallery in Elizabethtown. The History and Ambience of the Gallery reflects the many years of entertainment, plus the teachings of the Art Studio. Many students rose to become well known artists.
COMMENTARY
In 2011 Irene struck a devastating blow to the Gallery, destroying a large area of the school. Beki and Bruce Pushee have worked diligently to restore it, but more remains to be done. The auction was the first event since the Irene Storm. The reaction of the Community was warmly received as they toured the Gallery and related many memories of the past. Unit 551 thanks all for this participation and interest. If you know of a Veteran or Military in need of medical or emotional care please have them contact Betty Light 873-6541 or Nancy Dawson 593-9446. We also thank those attending the gallery. Thanks to you, Beki and Bruce have renewed energy to continue restoring the Gallery as a part of Elizabethtown’s history and enjoyment of the ARTS.
RejectÊ theÊ boardÊ recommendationsÊ To the Editor: At the Schroon Lake town board meeting on Nov. 5, the highway superintendent presented a list of names for positions he needed filled for wingmen and recommendations for employee raises for personnel who are employed by the town. All his efforts to explain or justify his recommendations were contemptuously rejected, dismissed out of hand. Some board members went further by singling out one employee on the list for public discussion, showing their prejudice against this employee. Instead of dealing with the list in general, these board members chose a single employee for persecution. In all my years of serving on the town board never have I seen such a disgraceful display. Employee issues have always been discussed in executive session, where the rights of the individuals were respected, not out in public session. A few days later there appeared in my town hall mailbox at a packet of papers regarding this individual employee including personal information. None of this was marked as confidential or for board members only, do not disseminate. Have these prejudiced board members now decided to make every employees files and records public information? That there is no longer confidential or private employee files and records? Or is this just further examples of their prejudices against this one employee? This board had just passed a budget including using $87,000 of the taxpayers’ funds to build a tennis court, where only a handful of people in town play. But they could not consider the highway super’s request. One must wonder just what is the justification that these funds be used to benefit so few and if there is behind – the – scene corruption, or what is going on. A much better use of these funds would be to bulldoze the tennis courts and build a “Y” type recreational center with; weight, gymnastic, indoor swimming pool, indoor archery, basketball court, sauna rooms, etc. We would then have a facility that all could use, not just a few. The $87,000 could also be used to hire local persons to staff the facility. But certain members of this town board would rather spend the funds on a tennis court that very few will use. I urge every resident of Schroon to challenge this funding and the prejudices against our town employees this board has shown. Don Sage, Councilman Schroon

Little Bits Signs Gordie Little

F
inish this lyric, “On the wings of a…” Well done. Even better, because you sang it out loud. Every part of my life is inspired by “signs from above.” I sat here with nary a clue what the topic for today would be. That song popped up like a piece of golden brown toast. We all have daily “signs,” but most of us shrug them off. My hue and cry? There are no coincidences. The signs are everywhere. My advice is simply to pay attention. My late father was Rev. Russell E. Little. He was a country minister of the old school who said he scared more hell out of people than a New York City taxi driver. He was big and strong and an imposing figure, pounding the pulpit with his fist as he preached fire and brimstone in his quest to save souls. He often expressed his desire that his sons would follow in his footsteps. My big brother Jim did just that. Little Gordie Little did not. Sorry, dad. But, as I walked among friends gathered in Malone recently to share stories and pictures, I came to the realization that in some way, Russell’s wish came true. I found myself preaching—about love and gratitude, healing and my view of goodness. My father’s black sheep was changing color. I talked about signs. Kaye and I look for them and celebrate them. Some are encouraging; others are frightening. All are important. I read a social site note from a friend, labeled “Pennies From Heaven.” It’s the title of a song and of a story I tell about lucky pennies that show up when we need them as a sign. My friend awoke to find a pattern made from pennies on her kitchen floor. Linda said she had no change about the house and could see no way short of a miracle that the pennies could appear there. Yup—a true sign, perhaps from her late husband. It’s a matter of belief. When you see Kaye, ask what finding pennies means to us. We can be walking down the sidewalk on a moonless night and she will stop suddenly, reach down and pick up a heads-up penny. Music is a significant part of my life. How often do you jump into your car, flip the radio on and hear a song that has special meaning for you? A sign? YES. When I sat here with no idea what to write about, I was transported back to 1958 when Bob Ferguson wrote a song, recorded in 1960 by Ferlin Husky. It was number one on the country charts for ten weeks, got up to #12 on the pop charts and is still indelible for me. Sing along with me: “On the wings of a snow white dove, he sends his pure sweet love. A sign from above, on the wings of a dove.” Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

E
very holiday season there is an “it” gift. I am not referencing the item everyone wants, like the “Tickle Me Elmo” craze. I am alluding to the mass marketed items, generic enough for everyone, and a bit of a snore. They seem to decorate hundreds of end caps. If you wait until the last minute to shop, through repeated exposure and the desire to finish shopping, these sparkly nothings can morph into what seems like a great idea. Instead, why not put a little panache in your presents? Consider a gift of art, or take a friend to an event. Below are some suggestions. Give a room some pow... One year my brother gave me a lamp made out of popsicle sticks. I doubt I would have purchased it for myself, but I love it. “Off the Wall Original Art for $100 or Less” is a yearly event at BlueSeed Studio, located in Saranac Lake at 24 Cedar Street. Gallery hours are Monday-Saturday from 1-5 p.m. If those times aren’t great for you, call 891-3799 to schedule an appointment. I can’t guarantee you will find an intricate wooden structure like mine, but you will be in an environment rich in beautiful objects. The exhibit will be open until Dec. 28. More information is available on their website www.bluesseedstudios.org.

Animal lovers… Derrick Hopkins wrote me about a play he is promoting, funding, staging, casting and acting in. His tasks are many, but his goal is simple. He seeds the production hoping to generate a donation larger than his original investment. All proceeds will be donated to the Elmore SPCA. The play “Beyond Therapy” will be presented Nov. 19, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. The stage is on the top level of Plattsburgh’s City Hall Auditorium, located at 41 City Hall Place, in Plattsburgh. General admission prices are $10. Hopkins noted this play is not for children, due to the colorful adult language. The play originally debuted on Broadway in 1981. The author of the play, Christopher Durang, won a Tony for his work. Cast member Andrew Ducharme said he’s always enjoyed Durang’s sharp, witty writing style. Ducharme added that the play is absurd and hilarious, but said the best part is the profits are supporting the SPCA in Elmore. For more information or to give a donation, contact Derrick at dhopkins@ willsborocsd.org or 572-4272.

where we had a write-in candidate who only had their first name on several of the ballots,” McGahay said. “We called the state board of elections and their first question was if there was a person running and active write-in campaign. When we said yes, they said we had to look to see if we could discern the voters’ intent. If it was obvious the vote was intended for the candidate, then it could be counted.” Grinnell, who came into the canvassing late and stayed for a few minutes, asked about the matter. “In a clerks race years ago, there were over 600 write-in ballots that were tossed because of spelling errors,” Grinnell said. “I am concerned with how you are conducting it as far as first name only, first name with last initial or a mis-spelled last name.” “We made a special effort to make sure what we are doing is proper with the number of write-ins we have,” McGahay said. “We went through this (Nov. 12) and that is why we called Anna Civisero, the head of election operations. If there is a known candidate running an active campaign, then you can take the name.” “I respectfully disagree,” said Grinnell. “So did we at the table during the Essex county,” McGahay countered. “That’s why we called.” She added there were only a handful of ones that had just Joe or Joe G. McGahay also said there were very few spelling errors when it came to Giordano’s last name, at one point commenting, “people did a very good job learning (Giordano’s) last name.” Giordano was present at the Monday, Nov. 16 slate of Essex County Board of Supervisors’ committee meetings, where Grinnell introduced his successor to his colleagues. Giordano, 38, was met with applause. During a recess between committee meetings, law-
makers and county officials chatted with the supervisor-elect. Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava noted the so-called Big Three towns — Moriah, North Elba and Ticonderoga — will all be helmed Americans of Italian heritage. Both Scozzafava and North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi easy won re-election earlier this month. ABOVE: Joseph Giordano sits with the Essex County Board of Elections commissioners to inspect the ballots from the Ticonderoga supervisor’s race.

Frank Koenig honored at Veterans Day service Community honors Veterans at Park By Jill Lobdell
jill@suncommunitynews.com
HAGUE — On the damp morning of Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Memorial Bell tolled 11 times on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour, commemorating for the veterans of Hague who served in any of the 11 conflicts. When the sound system failed to play the National Anthem, the community members sang it proudly in its place. The service was attended by Veterans from World War II, Vietnam, Korea and other conflicts. “We use this time to reflect on the sacrifices of those brave men and women who left their families, putting their future dreams on hold to defend the cause of freedom throughout the world,” Jim O’Toole said. “A cause we as Americans hold so dear.” The service was dedicated to the late Fredrick “Frank” Koenig, who was born in Germany in 1925 but moved with his family as a young boy and served in the United States military starting in August 1943. He served in the 15th Combat Engineer Battalion, 9th Infantry Division, and landed on Utah Beach in Normandy June 10, 1944. This was three days after D-Day invasion with still a lot of fighting going on. His unit was the first to cross the Seine
River and begin the liberation of Belgium. A lot of his military records were lost in a fire that destroyed the National Records Retirement Facility in 1972 and documentation is still being reconstructed. Koenig also served in many civic organizations including the Hague Volunteer Fire Department and the American Legion and Post 1538. Koenig’s daughter, Betty Mosley, who lives in Wyoming said, “My father was very proud of his service in WWII. He received two purple Hearts. He fought on Normandy Beach. He was honored to serve as Commander of the Legion Post in Hague. Dad was a member of the Fire Department Fire Police. He led a life of servitude, he never passed a stranded motorist or boater on the Lake. He always had a tow strap and his tool box on the ready. He knew where everything was and usually had whatever was needed.” Hague supervisor Edna Frazier said, “We should honor vets everyday. Remember to thanks them everyday.” Sp4 Rodriquez and Sgt. Trexler of the New York Army National Guard Ceremonial Guard presented Koenig’s wife Katie a ceremonial flag and thanked her for his service. Mrs. Koenig was accompanied by niece Stephanie Atamanchuk of Queensbury. O’Toole presented Koenig a plaque post mortem for her husband for his service with the American Legion. The event ended with a luncheon that followed for the Veterans and members of the comJim O’Toole and Katie Koenig, wife of the late Frank Koenig, place a wreath during the Hague Veterans Day service Nov. munity. 11.

Town receives grant for AED for Tiroga Point Town Beach
Thanks to a grant from International Paler, the Ticonderoga Youth Commission will have an AED unit at their summer program.
TICONDEROGA — The Town of Ticonderoga announces the receipt of a grant from International Paper Foundation for an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator (AED) device for the Tiroga Point Town Beach. The need for an AED was discussed early in 2014 while the Town Youth Committee prepared for the summer youth program and the opening of the town beach. Though it was not required by regulating agencies such as the NYS Dept. of Health, the committee agreed it would help to insure the safety of all beach-goers, particularly during the busiest days when an estimated 60 - 70 children attended as part of the Summer Youth Program. Annual training and certification requires all lifeguards be trained on the use of AED’s. In researching the cost for an appropriate device, the model carried by the Ticonderoga Police Dept. in patrol cars was selected. This provided recommended features and insured other staff would be familiar with the device when responding to an emergency. The chosen AED includes Pedi-Padz (Pediatric Pads) for use with children. The device recognizes when the Pedi-Padz are connected and automatically proceeds with a pediatric ECG and adjusts energy to pediatric levels. According to Member Chattie Van Wert, “With the Town Council keeping spending within the tax cap, this item had not been budgeted for 2014 and was unlikely to be included in the 2015 spending plan. In researching funding opportunities, we learned of a potential International Paper Foundation Grant and filed an application in the spring of 2015.” In a recent letter notifying the Town that the application was fully funded for the full cost of the AED at $1445. Donna Wadsworth, Mill Communications Manager stated “We are happy to provide funding to purchase an AED for the town beach. It is such a great program and we would like our community to learn about it and the International Paper Foundation.” Deano Orr, Executive Director International Paper Foundation stated “We hope this grant will help to make a difference in your community.” For more information please visit ipgiving.com.
Museum’s Christmas Store to open TICONDEROGA — The tenth annual Ticonderoga Area Museums’ Christmas Store will take place Friday, Dec. 4, from 10AM-4PM and Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Hancock House, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Museums’ Christmas Store began ten years ago with an idea to increase the retail prospects for the consumer while at the same time integrating the Museums gift shops into the seasonal mix. The venue has changed over the decade from empty store fronts downtown to the Hancock House a few years ago, where it now endures. On the main floor the gift shops of Fort Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Heritage Museum and Ticonderoga Historical Society will be represented. And down on the lower level, the Ti Arts Gallery will open its doors for this event. Gifts of books, china, Adirondack crafts, jewelry, articles of clothing, photographs, glassware, calendars, ornaments and more will be offered at the Museum shops. The Gallery will have framed and unframed art as
well as an abundance of holiday gifts for sale. The Carillon Garden Club participates in this event also. They will be on site with their lovely and popular handmade Christmas wreaths for sale. “The Museums’ Christmas Store is a nice opportunity for the public to have the advantage of visiting several shops, each with its own unique product line, under one roof ”, stated June Curtis event coordinator. “To nurture the holiday spirit, the Hancock House provides the perfect backdrop with the Festival of Trees display in place. This year, 2015, is the Silver Anniversary (25 years) of the Festival of Trees. Community businesses, organizations, schools and individuals decorate trees, create centerpieces, and share seasonal collections making a stop at the festive Hancock House a delight during the holiday season.” Light refreshments will be offered.

Students, educators, college reps attend CFES conference ESSEX — More than 350 students, K-12 educators, college representatives and corporate partners who attended the 2015 College For Every Student (CFES) National Conference in Burlington, Vt., received this inspiring opening message from CFES President and CEO Dr. Rick Dalton. Attendees were motivated by the presentations of two keynote speakers Lucille O’Neal, mother of NBA great Shaquille O’Neal and author of Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go, and Dr. Calvin Mackie, founder of STEMNOLA, a New Orleans-based organization dedicated to encouraging young persons’ interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). In fast-paced and frequently humorous style, both O’Neal and Mackie struck similar chords: hope transforms lives and hope is the answer; focus on education, which is a key enabler of great outcomes; you must have a dream, but you’ve got to put in the work to achieve it; and college is for every student. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21), who, in 2014, became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress delivered closing remarks. She was the first member of her family to graduate from college, a characteristic shared by the majority of the 25,000 CFES Scholars currently enrolled in 200 schools in 30 U.S. states. In thanking CFES for making a college education possible for so many, Cong. Stefanik noted the importance of expanding access among low-income students to top quality, affordable college degrees. As a nation, she said, we must address the “crisis of college affordability,” adding that the current aggregate college student loan debt is $1.3 trillion and growing. “This is unsustainable,” she declared. Celebrating its 25th year, CFES built the conference around the theme: Closing the Skills Gap: Ensuring that Low-Income Students are College & Career Ready. Since 1991, the Essex, New York based CFES has helped more than 100,000 mostly low-income students in more than 700 K-12
schools in both urban and rural communities improve academic achievement and attain the “Essential Skills,” build leadership capacity and civic engagement and ultimately graduate from high school, get into – and succeed – in college. Recently, CFES has partnered with Trinity College, Dublin, which is now coordinating a parallel program in Ireland. Closing the Skills Gap is both a national and international priority, as millions of high paying and “middle skills” jobs go unfilled because young adults lack post-secondary education and relevant skills. Meanwhile, these young people waste their talent and potential in low-wage, low-skill jobs, or worse, remain chronically unemployed. They are caught in the “skills gap,” which CFES and conference sponsor the GE Foundation describe as a collective term in that the skills gap manifests in three basic ways: the Essential Skills gap; the Degree Completion gap; and the STEM gap. In a series of 18 workshops, panel discussions and roundtables, the CFES National Conference explored these gaps and addressed strategies to narrow
them. Kelli Wells, Executive Director of Education and Skills for the GE Foundation, highlighted the importance of developing “the Essential Skills.” “It’s not the college you graduated from or your academic degree that’s important to employers,” she said. “What’s important is: have you developed the essential skills that will enable you to succeed in your job?” She listed grit, perseverance, resiliency, adaptability, ability to collaborate in a team environment, understanding diversity and how to leverage social media as the qualities that employers are seeking and that workers must have to succeed in the 21st Century workforce. Dr. David Attis, Senior Director of Research at the Education Advisory Board, addressed the STEM Gap: less than 5 percent of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics degrees in the U.S. are awarded to low income students; and the College Degree Completion Gap: nearly half of all American students drop out of college and fail to attain a degree. Developing strong mentor-
ing programs, often implemented by community, corporate and college resources, is a key strategy in improving college retention, he said. A strong mentoring program is the foundational building block of the Ernst & Young Mentoring for Access and Persistence (MAP) Program, as described by Carolina Dominguez, EY’s College MAP Program Manager, Corporate Responsibility. EY employees serve as mentors for more than 1,000 lowincome high school students in 31 U.S. cities. Students are actively mentored from the 11th grade through their senior year in college. “Developing transferable skills is our focus,” said Dominguez, who added, “Once we begin to support the students, we support them all the way.” EY joined General Electric Foundation supporting the 2015 CFES National Conference. GE Foundation’s Wells urged the 65 CFES student scholars in the audience to pay it forward: “Your role here at CFES is not just about you. You have a responsibility to take it back and become an advocate to and for others. Become a mentor yourself…go back to your school, reach out and help others. This is how, together, we will carry this momentum forward.” In closing the conference, CFES Program Director Hasan Davis, Former Commissioner at Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice electrified the audience. “We in CFES are ‘hope dealers,’” he concluded. “CFES is a brave, bold idea. We level the playing field so that college is indeed for every student.” ABOVE: Riley Quigley, CFES Scholar at Ticonderoga High School, had the honor of introducing keynote speaker Lucille O’Neal, author, motivational speaker, and mother of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. Just before Riley introduced her to the 350 educators in attendance, they spent about 30 minutes together, talking about school, sports, the importance of higher education, how to hold your head high and always “Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go,” the title of her book.

Doing their part
I
t’s been four years since I retired, but my old conservation job still haunts me at times. Being haunted by the past can be a mixed bag; good and bad. This time however, it was a pleasurable haunting. At a recent Farm Bureau annual dinner, Shaun and Linda Gillilland of Willsboro were honored for their water quality conservation work on the farm. They received the NYS Agricultural Environmental Management Award from the local Soil and Water office for the establishment of numerous conservation practices on the farm. For me, it was a proud moment because I wrote the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) grazing contract to help get federal funds to install many of the conservation practices. State funding also provided some assistance for grazing practices. Grazing management keeps the soil covered in actively growing sod and allows high quality feed to be consumed by cattle, plus it reduces runoff, collects nutrients and eliminates most soil erosion. The contract included perimeter fencing to keep the beef herd out of the drainage leading to the Boquet River, an alternative water source to provide drinking water and the planting of a large riparian buffer with fruit and berry bushes to provide an additional income, plus creating insect habitat. Remember, bugs feed fish. Grassy swales along brooks provide grass hopper and cricket habitat, while rotting fruit brings in all kinds of bug life. Terrestrials to fly fishermen! Winds and rain runoff carry some of the unlucky bugs to the brooks and stream where fish lay waiting to feed on the high protein meals. Non mowed grassland buffers along streams also provide habitat for grassland birds. Young early successional woods also provide habitat for bird life such as grouse
and woodcock. Working with farmers is not just about stopping manure runoff and erosion. It’s much more. Conservation ecology is putting all the parts of the puzzle together. Economics of the farm come first, then environmental practices which reduce runoff and erosion, but also enhance the value of the land and the surroundings. Protecting the streams and keeping them free of sediment, excessive nutrients and pesticides is important to all of us; farmers and fishermen. The economics of rural America is tied to farming, forestry, fishing and hunting. They are all related. Clean streams provide habitat for trout and salmon, which provides tourist habitat and brings notoriety to an area. Many of us travel hundreds of miles to fish or hunt in another state. Whether it’s pheasants in South Dakota, elk in Colorado, trout in Montana or salmon bringing in droves of fly fishermen to New York, it’s clean water and healthy farm, forest and rangeland habitat that make it happen. Removing dams such as the Willsboro dam provide access to spawning habitat. The Gillilland Farm sits upstream of the Willsboro dam site. In time, salmon will be swimming up the north branch past the farm to spawn. Yea, it all comes together if we want it too. (Now we just need to get the IMPERIAL DAM REMOVED, adding miles of more spawning habitat, to enhance the Salmon fishery on the Saranac River,). Enough GOV Speak. Just do it! The farm community understands the importance of doing conservation work and getting practices installed on the land. They are doing their part. It’s the economic and conservation ecology that binds us all together. Just ask Shaun and Linda Gillilland. They understand how important their farm is to the community and what they do to protect the Boquet River means. Both the Farm Bureau and the Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout unlimited congratulate them for a well deserved honor!

Hunting and Wild Lands
E
very year, the Quality Deer Management Association produces a nationwide Whitetail Report that provides a wealth of data regarding the sport, and the people that purse it. Here are a few facts I found interesting and thought provoking in regard to the growing interest in hunting with primitive arms. It is important to note that several states, including Rhode Island, do not allow hunters to hunt with high powered rifles. The number of hunters taking advantage of bow and muzzleloader seasons has increased. In fact, in the Northeast region, bow and muzzleloader hunters combined to take nearly half of the harvest (45 percent) with 27 percent attributed to bow hunters and 18 percent to muzzleloader hunters. In 2013, muzzleloader hunters took 12 percent of the total deer harvest, bow hunters took 21 percent and firearm (rifle/ shotgun) hunters took 65 percent. Regionally, bow hunters averaged the highest percentage of the harvest in the Northeast (27 percent). Muzzleloader hunters also averaged their highest percentage in the Northeast (18 percent). Surprisingly, firearm hunters in the Northeast took just over half of the deer (55 percent). Of all the states reporting, Texas reported the most antlered bucks harvested, at 300,575. Michigan followed with 215,120 and Georgia took the bronze with 140,142 bone-headed bucks reported. The Midwest region averaged 1.5 bucks harvested per square mile and shot 3 percent fewer bucks in 2009 than they did in 2008. The Southeast harvested 8 percent fewer bucks in 2009 and averaged 2.8 bucks per square mile. The Northeast region harvested 7 percent fewer bucks and averaged shooting 2 bucks per square mile. It is interesting to note the Adirondack region has an estimated deer denisty of less than 1 buck per square mile.

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett
The Times of Ti Sun • November 21, 2015 | 15
Adirondack Deer Harvests in History It is interesting to consider the recent whitetail facts from a historial perspective. In the process of reading through the Eigth Annual Report of the NYS Forest, Fish and Game Commission which was provided to the NY Assembly in January, 1899. The report detailed a host of interesting issues ranging from Fish Culturalists who were in the process of raising smallmouth bass and whitefish that wew to be introduced into Adirondack waters; to an overview of the most recent, Adirondack deer harvest and the introduction of Mongolion ringed neck pheasant in the Hudson Valley region. It also documents the stocking of 508,060 brook trout, 147,140 browns, 23,000 rainbows, 5,80,000 whitefish and 2,562, 472 yellow perch, The report also offered a summary of illegal fishing devices that were captured and destroyed by the Game Protectors and Foresters. The tally included 56 seines, 971 Fyke nets. 320 Trap nets, 584 Gill nets, 221 Squat nets, 2 Pound nets, 17 Dip nets, 65 Tip ups, 13 Spears and 457 Set lines. The total number of illegal devices destroyed was 2,706, valued at $29, 515. There were 369 persons prosecuted, and 335 convicted,
with over $10,338 collected in fines, and 775 days of imprisonment imposed by the Fisheries, Game and Forest Commission. Timber theft was also a major concern, as were fires which had ravaged through over 51,548 acres of forest land in the summer of 1899 and required 15,546 days worked. Fires were caused by hunters numbered 62, while fishermen started 15, berry pickers got 30 fires going, and 30 were from campfires. Trains started 24 fires, while tobacco smokers were responsible for 11, lightning caused 9, children started 7, as did Bee hunters. Over 62 fires were of unkown orgin. Over $10,344 was spent on Fire Fighting provisions, with over $60,131 in lost State timber. In 1899, over 14,832 acres of State Forest lands were burned over, and many trees were ‘stolen’ by timber thieves. In 1900, the Commission kept a log of all the deer that were shipped out of the Adirondacks, however the accounting includes only deer that were shipped out via the trains. It was difficult to account for all of the deer that were taken by local residents, lumber camps, and traveling sportsmen. The Commissioner’s tally included 84 deer from Beaver River Station, 27 from Big Moose, 33 from Childwold 58 fgrom Clear Water, 30 gron Floodwood, 30 from Forestport, 2 in Lake Clear, 4 from Lake Placid, 49 from Llong Lake West, 29 from Piercefield, 9 from Paul Smiths, 14 from Derick, and 56 from Tupper Lake Junction. On the National Express Company Line, farther to the east, 82 deer came out of North Creek Station, 6 at Stony Creek, 5 from Port Henry and 4 out of Westport. Combined the railroads shipped out a total of 1010 whitetails, of an estimated 4905 that were legally taken during the regular season. It was estimated that the herd numbered between 30,00 and 40,000 deer. There were also many questions about wether deer populationa suffered more during the days that hounds and jacklights were allowed, or in the more current times(1899), where still hunting was in fashion. An estimated 1088 deer were taken in 1896 while over 1204 fell in 1900 with dressed weights in excess of 250 to 294 pounds. True weight was estimated by adding on quarter of the dressed weight to the animal. The Annual Report indicates the Adirondack Forest Preserve included a total of 3,225,144 acres at the time, with another 64,237 acres in the Catskill Park. Land classifications in the Forest Preserves included Waste, Burned, Denuded, Water and Wild Meadow. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

APA approves Essex Chain Lakes plan By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency approved the Essex Chain Lakes Complex Unit Management Plan (UMP) last week, determining it conforms with the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan, an action called “widely illegal” by opponents. The Complex is located in the central Adirondack towns of Minerva and Newcomb in Essex County, and the town of Indian Lake in Hamilton County. Included in the area are the Essex Chain Lakes Primitive Area, the Pine Lakes Primitive Area and portions of the Blue Mountain Wild Forest and the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest, according to a release from APA. “The plan establishes reasonable public access and ensures appropriate protections for the unique natural resources found in this splendid region of the Adirondack Park,” said Keith P.

Sweat pleads guilty to prison escape
By Pete DeMola
The contraband charge is for the hacksaw blades.
PLATTSBURGH — Captured convict David Sweat has pleaded guilty today on all three charges related his escape from Clinton Correctional earlier this summer. Sweat was charged with two felony counts of escape in the first degree and one count of promoting prison contraband. He faces sentencing on Feb. 3. The inmate appeared in Clinton County Court wearing a green prison jumpsuit. Lanky, and with his goatee speckled with gray, Sweat appeared earnest and answered Judge Patrick McGill’s questions in neat, clipped tones. “My client is prepared to take full responsibility for his actions,” said Joseph Mucia, his court-appointed attorney. Sweat, who was serving a life sentence without parole at Clinton Correctional when he and another inmate, Richard Matt, escaped on June 6, faces an additional 3.5 to 7 years on each charge. “As I indicated from day one, I felt it was important to prosecutate this case like any other escape from Clinton Correctional,” said Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie. A plea agreement was never on the table, said the prosecutor, who said he was prepared to bring the case to trial if necessary. Mucia said his client wasn’t pressured into making his decision. Sweat, 35, is on the mend after suffering two gunshot wounds during his capture, said Mucia, and requested to see a doctor. Further surgery may be required. The inmate will also be required to pay a portion of $79,841 in restitution costs for damages to the facility incurred during the escape. After gaining access to the catwalk behind their cells, Sweat and Matt broke through a brick wall and cut through a steam pipe with a hacksaw to escape from the maximum security facility. Wylie has said the escape charges represent different elements of the same crime: one is related to escape from custody, the other, from a detention facility.
SEVEN YEARS IN SEG Sweat is currently being housed in a segregated housing unit at Five Points. The maximum security facility in Romulus requires Sweat to be in a windowless room for 23 hours per day for the next seven years, said Mucia. “He doesn’t like being in the shoo,” said Mucia. “I don’t think anyone would.” Wylie called for state reforms that would allow for harsher punishments for those already serving life sentences. “All we’re doing is putting them back in the system,” said Wylie. State inspector general Catherine Leahy Scott applauded the plea and said her office is close to issuing their findings on the escape. “I am working to finalize my extensive investigation into the escape and provide the public a detailed accounting of all the actions and systemic failures that permitted two cold-blooded killers to perpetrate this scheme,” said Scott in a statement, “as well as propose reforms to help ensure New Yorkers are never again subjected to such an event.”
pete@suncommunitynews.com
BACK TO WORK Once released from segregated housing, Sweat may be eligible to work. With his high school diploma, he is qualified for a Grade 3 job, where he can make up to $6 per week at 20 cents per hour. If an inmate has a courtordered restitution, DOCCS collects 20 percent from their inmate wages and 50 percent from any outside money the inmate receives. Wylie said it was unlikely Sweat could pay the full restition costs on prison wages. “It’s very likely we will not see that order being fulfilled by him,” he said. Wylie said he will formally request restitution in February and urged McGill to consider Son of Sam laws that forbid inmates from profiting from their crimes. HAMBURGER HELPERS Correction officer Gene Palmer, 57, is accused of giv-
ing a screwdriver and pliers to the pair and faces a series of charges related to the escape. Palmer is not being charged in connection with the hacksaw blades the pair used to break out of the facility, said Wylie. See more at suncommunitynews.com

Bombers hit championship mark North Country represented well in state championship By Jill Lobdell
jill@suncommunitynews.com
WOODBURY — The Lake Placid varsity boys cross country team came out on top as the small school from Section VII captured the NYSPHSAA Class D title at Monroe-Woodbury High School Nov. 14. The team was led by Karl Schulz, who crossed at 17:02.0, followed by Henry McGrew in 17:13.7, Scott Schulz in 17:33.5, Trent White in 18:04.0 and Forest Ledger at in 18:06.1. “The boys knew where they had to place at a certain place and knew where they had to be in order to win the race,” Blue Bombers coach Mel Frazier said. “I think they did even better than where they needed to be. There were definitely nerves before the race of course, but those nerves were good. They knew what they had to do to finish the race.” “To prepare for the race the coaches had a meeting the night before about the top two schools and the individuals they had to beat,” Karl Schulz said. “I ran one of the best races I ever had. The first part was flat and the second was extremely hilly. It was hard not to go out too hard and to take the first half easier. It was really critical to go up and push over the hill. They said to run downhill fast and stay on course. The hills made everyone go slower.” Schulz was focused on a pair of other athletes with the goal to stay in front of them to help secure positions for the team. “I had beat my two target guys that (Forest) Ledger told me that would get us the points to win the race,” he said. “I knew that I wasn’t going to get the individual award but wanted to get the team. I thought I was in 12th place. I didn’t know for sure and was pumped at finishing sixth. I was super excited.” Schulz said the moment started to sink in after he crossed the finish line. “It was total excitement not just for me, but as a team as one,” he said. “All the hard work and training paid off. I am honored to be part of the a group who is one of the best teams out there!” For the future Schulz will be doing Nordic/Cross Country. He is leaving in a couple of weeks for Steamboat, Colo., for the Youth Olympic Games and World Tryouts. He is going through the
NYSEF Team with three other athletes for tryouts. McGrew said a chance to win a state championship was what motivated him coming into the season. “I have been training with running and roller skiing since summer,” McGrew said. “I ran seven miles with shorter and intense workouts as well. The coaches told me to stay focus, positive and concentrate on keeping mentally and physically focused. I wanted to concentrate on catching one more runner in front of me.” After crossing the line, McGrew was happy but unsure of how they finished and it was a really uneasy feeling, he said. “I was really happy,” he said when he found out they had won. “We did our best and accomplished our goal. I felt really honored to win with this team.” For Scott Schulz , the day began with a right leg injury in preparing for the race he said, “The coaches emphasized that rest was the big thing for any competition beginning at least two days ahead,” he said. “Eat well for breakfast like eggs, oatmeal, chocolate milk and for dinner, especially the night before, eat a lot of carbohydrates like loads of pastas. They said to put one foot in front of the other and keep our head in the game.” After the race, Scott congratulated the rest of the racers. He was skeptical while waiting and tried to see who was there. For White, it was all about getting to the starting line. “Before the race began, I was really nervous and queasy,” White said. “When the gun went off, it all went away. I had to mentally prepare myself. I made checkpoints along the way and that helped keep my mind prepared. I had to keep my mind busy and it helped in the final outcome because I knew where I had to be and where my team had to be to get the win. We had to mentally prepare for the race as a team. We had to run a lot and run a lot of hills. Karl and Henry ran so fast. The two teams we had to beat were mostly behind us.” Ledger said the team used their knowledge of the state championship course from racing on it earlier in the year. “In preparing the team ran the Monroe-Woodbury High School course in September because they wanted to be ready for this race,” he said.
Because of that, the team covered more hills into training to be more prepared as much as they could. “I didn’t have my best race but my team was more prepared with more uphills and downhills,” Ledger said. “The training really paid off.” Ledger may have had the biggest run of the day, passing a pair of Maple Hill runners in the home stretch to gain two spots for the team. “After I passed them I hoped my team caught the racers they were supposed to,” he said. “When we found out (we won) I was so excited. This was my sixth year and Karl’s fifth year and we have been working for this for a third of our lives.” During the celebration, the team also had something to look forward to as coach Bill Fazier, who assumed head coaching responsibilities while his wife and head coach, Mel, had a child. “The deal was if we received our racing stripe, he would shave his head,” McGrew said. The event is planned in their home Thursday. The North Country schools also included Peru, Beekmantown, Plattsburgh, Seton Catholic, Saranac, Saranac Lake, EKMW, Ticonderoga and Schroon Lake. Despite a cool, windy morning, the runners came out strong and most ran in the middle to front. The Class D finals in both boys and girls had some of the strongest runners. EKMW’s Jonathan Gay, a senior from Westport with a time of 16:44.0, took third place in the Class D race following Dawson Bathgate from East Rochester and Alex Hogue from Wheatland-Chili. Meanwhile Seton Catholic senior and University of New Hampshire commit Margaret Champagne finished with a strong fourth place finish of 19:25.2. “I think I ran a respectable race overall, but just came up a little short, but a respectable race,” Gay said. EKMW coach Howard Hammonds said that it was really exciting to see all the kids come out running hard. The course was very challenging with hard hills and valleys. “We made a course in Moriah up Cheney Mountain that was similar to this course here,” he said. “There were a lot of hills. This is one of the hardest courses we ever ran.”

Griffins defeated in Class D boys soccer title game Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport falls to long-time ‘groomsman’ Ft. Ann By Keith Lobdell
keith@suncommunitynews.com
MIDDLETOWN — It’s the tale that, when you hear it, you know what’s coming. You just don’t want it to happen now. So was the case at the NYSPHSAA Class D state championship boys soccer game Nov. 15, when coach Rich McCabe and the Fort Ann Cardinals finally shed the bridesmaid tag and claimed their first state title. Unfortunately for fans of the Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins, they were the team on the other end. Tyler Mattison scored in the fifth minute of play, the only marker of the game as the Cardinals scored the 1-0 win. While the Griffins had their opportunities against the Fort Ann defense, Cardinal keeper Jon Allen played a solid game in earning MVP honors, not only stopping shots but preventing Griffin opportunities by quickly moving off his line. Despite the loss, members of the second-year combo team were able to put their historic run into perspective. “It has been a great season and great year,” senior Colden Blades said. “We made it so far but we just didn’t quite finish.” “You couldn’t ask for much more for my senior year,” defender Trevor Brooks said. “Making it to the state championship game is huge because our schools have never done that. It’s a big step for both communities. I just want to thank my whole team, my coaches and my family. It has been great.” “For my senior year, it has been a great season and Wyatt Gough these guys have been great,” Sam Napper said. “Couldn’t ask for a better group of guys. It is really special. We have not done this before and it’s great to be part of something new. We started this team two years ago combined and we keep making firsts.” “It took a lot to get here and I am just very proud of everyone on my team,” senior sweeper Anderson Gay said. Griffin head coach Paul Buehler summed up the range of emotions. “To get so close, it stings a little,” Buehler said after the game. “But, what I just reminded them and I reminded myself is we won a shootout, and that was a big deal. Then we won a sectional title and that was a big deal. We were happy for winning those things. Then you win the next game and say we’re going to the final four and we earned all that. We won yesterday to get to the championship. I have seen every step along the way as its own championship. “I knew we could do this, but... It’s hard...,”Buehler added. “Being here, getting this far, I’m very happy. I’m very happy we got here, but...” Fort Ann came out with the look of a team looking to claim a title they felt they deserved, driving a cross on net which

Napper had to save in the second minute of play. After a Joel Morris shot was saved by Allen, the Cardinals made their way deep into the defensive third, where they were able to set up a throw in which made it into the penalty area and set up Mattison for his goal. “The biggest issue and it was the difference make, was that throw,” Buehler said. “I thought on a 75-yard wide field the throw in might not be as big of a deal as when I saw them yesterday at the middle school, but obviously it was and they scored on it. It’s like getting direct kicks.” “The kid had a throw-in like a corner kick,” Napper said. “I mean, it landed in the box and there was a flick on and the kid headed it in. It was a great play.” “They came is fast and hard,” Blades said. “I think it was shock and awe in the first couple minutes and we just didn’t handle it. We definitely knew it was coming.” The Griffins responded quickly, with Carter Storey and each got shots off in the 12th minute with Allen saving the former, but found themselves in a back and forth game which seemed to change every 10 minutes. “We knew they would try to play soccer in our end,” Buehler said. “That is the single most direct offense I have ever seen. They were going to come at you and they were big, athletic and fast. Their back three were really impressive. They did not let anybody in. You can go in, the ball can go in, but you and the ball are not going in together.” “It could have gone either way,” Brooks said. “We had our opportunities and just did not capitalize on them. They kicked it as far down the field as they could every time and tried to put it into the box. They are pretty tall so it was tough to defend against their headers.” “It was very aggressive and something different than usual,” Gay said. “This team was honestly the best team we have played all year, I think. They deserved it.” “Our coaches went to the game and watched them,” Napper said. “It’s the state championship game and they were a top-notch team.” Two of the best chances the Griffins had came from Blades, who had a through ball on his feet and a potential shot on his head, both plucked away by Allen. Buehler felt his team had been prepared for the championship weekend through their play in Section VII, where they advanced past seven-time champion Chazy and defending Class C champion Northern Adirondack, along with practicing with Class B chamJoel Morris tries to get possession of the ball against Fort Ann keeper Jon Allen and defender Garrett Bailey. pion Plattsburgh High School Photo by Jill Lobdell leading up to each teams’ re-

gional title game. “That was a game that was as tight and as hard as six of our league games,” Buehler said. “Div. II of the Northern Soccer League, Class D soccer, is a great place to prepare. If you can get out of there, you will do well and you will be one of the top in the state in the end.” “I think our schedule helps us a lot because we have to play in Section VII and we have to play Chazy and NAC and Lake Placid,” Gay said. “All those are really good teams and I think that benefits us a lot.” During the awards ceremony, Buehler thanked his assistants as well as the community which had supported the students on their way to the D title game. After, he reflected on the final games of his senior athletes. “I can’t say enough about the kind of people they are,” Buehler said. “Good people. You’d hand them the keys to your house kind of people. Their work ethic is tremendous, they care for each other, they don’t get emotional and I am going to miss them deeply and they were very skilled and great athletes.” Morris, a junior, was named MVP for the Griffins in the championship. 2.
