Summer of history in Clinton County starts today
ROUSES POINT — A lot went down in Rouses Point, and the Rouses Point History and Welcome Center interprets the village's history from its origins with Canadian settler Jacques Rouse (Rousse or Rowse) to the present. The center is featured on the cover of the 2025 Adirondack Coast Arts & History Passport, which visitors need today if they want to get their stamps on the 16th Annual Museum Day. 'Rouses Point was named after Capt. Jacques Rouse,' Brandon G. Racine, village historian, said. 'He wasn't a captain at the time. He fought in the Revolutionary War. He was born in Canada and fought with the Americans against the British. When the war was over, he didn't have a home anymore because the British considered him a traitor. So, he was like in limbo. So, they created the Nova Scotia Refugee Tract of 1783, and they gave lots according to time served.' In addition to his own allotment, Rouse purchased 13 lots from other soldiers, who would rather have cash. 'He established a tavern and a pier on the water in between where the bridge and the fort land is,' Racine said. 'He was the first settler, so they named the town after him. He was born in 1753 around Chipoudy. His mother was Marie Comeau. They were all Acadian families. They are not sure if he was English or French. But his father, Louis Rouse, was a French soldier.' Racine's great-great-great-great-great-grandmother was Marie Louise Rouse. 'Jacques' sister, younger by five years,' he said. 'I am a Rouse descendant.' TRAINS & THINGS Located in the former D & H station at 68 Pratt St., the center is replete with images and artifacts from the storied railroad's history there and beyond. 'We actually opened the station in 2014, once it was renovated through grants and everything through the village, whatever,' Robert St. John, president of the Rouses Point-Champlain Historical Society, said. 'The village actually owns the building, and then the historical society, along with the village Rouses Point historian, owns the artifacts that are inside here. This area here, which was the ticket master and station master's area, we are keeping this all railroad.' Many artifacts were left in the building by the railroad company, and others were sourced from village residents and Vermont collectors. The rear room features rotating two-year exhibits such as the current one on the village's history. 'We do have people that have loaned us artifacts to display, and we also have donations of artifacts that are on display,' St. John said. The Rouses Point History and Welcome Center always coordinates its seasonal opening with Museum Days, the brainchild of Bob Parks, former Press-Republican publisher. The event is hosted by the Adirondack Coast Cultural Alliance in conjunction with the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau. 'We have reduced it to one day instead of two,' Geri Favreau, ACCA president, said. 'The hours are different. The museums were finding it too difficult. You know, everybody is looking for volunteers and stuff. It was just too difficult to be open two days and long hours. That's why we made the change this year. We all agreed. People have to refer to the poster to see open hours. Everybody is open definitely from 11 to 3. Some are open earlier. Some are open later or whatever. I would like to stress that other than those hours only for this one Saturday. They need to refer to the Passport for the rest of the year. The hours are different for everybody.' From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, participating locations will offer demonstrations, tours, exhibits, hands-on activities and more. Each museum has a unique story to tell and most are run totally by volunteers. The Passport is available at all venues. 'Our museums help tell the unique story of the Adirondack Coast — from Indigenous roots and early settlement to military milestones, arts, and local industry. They are community treasures that thrive thanks to generous volunteers and engaged visitors,' Kristy Kennedy, vice president of marketing and tourism for the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau, said. Admission fees will vary from venue to venue. 'It will be different for everyone,' Favreau said. 'Some will be charging admission. Some will have a donation jar; actually they all have a donation jar. Some of the museums, that's how they survive is on donations that they get from their visitors.' This year's event coincides with the first of two New York State 'Path Through History' weekends, Saturday and Sunday, and Oct. 11-13.

David Beckham, Gary Oldman, Elaine Paige and others honored by King Charles III
LONDON (AP) — Arise Sir David, Sir Gary and Sir Roger. And Dame Elaine, Dame Pat and Dame Penny. Former England soccer captain David Beckham, Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman and The Who's frontman Roger Daltrey were knighted in King Charles III's birthday honors list released late Friday. Elaine Paige, the renowned musicals singer, Booker Prize-winning novelist Pat Barker and former Conservative government minister Penny Mordaunt were given damehoods, the female equivalent of a knighthood. The honors, which aim to reward individuals for their contributions to British life, are awarded twice a year to celebrities and public figures as well as ordinary people: Once at New Year's, and then in June to mark the king's birthday. The winners are chosen by civil servants' committees based on nominations from the government and the public. The awards are usually given out by the king or a senior royal acting in his place at Buckingham Palace. The Sirs Beckham, 50, was widely expected to be knighted following speculation last week that appeared to be based on a conversation he had with the monarch at the Chelsea Flower Show last month. As well as representing England 115 times, including 59 times as captain, Beckham played for some of Europe's most venerable clubs, most notably Manchester United and Real Madrid. He has been knighted for his services to sport and to charity, having partnered with UNICEF, the U.N.'s children's fund, for two decades and campaigned with a charity working to eradicate malaria. Beckham also played a pivotal role in London being awarded the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. 'Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honor," he said. Oldman, 67, was recognized for his services to drama both on screen and on stage. He won an Oscar for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the 2017 film 'Darkest Hour," and recently dazzled audiences in the Apple TV spy thriller series ' Slow Horses.' Daltrey, who co-founded The Who in 1964, has been recognized for services to charity as well as music, having been a patron of 'Teenage Cancer Trust' since 2000. The 81-year-old, who led the charity's concert series at Royal Albert Hall for more than two decades, said he was humbled by the award. 'It's a dream come true for me, but it's especially a dream because the charity means so much," he said. The Dames Paige, 77, was honoured for her services to charity as well as music. She has held senior roles at a charity supporting young people with acquired brain injury and another one that supports disabled tennis players. 'I've got all these different emotions coming at me all at once," she said. "I'm proud and I feel grateful and I'm thrilled and surprised, and so it's been quite a lot to take in.' Barker, 82, known for 'The Regeneration Trilogy," said she thought the letter announcing her damehood was from 'really angry' tax authorities. 'Nobody else does that kind of quality of paper," she said. 'I still sort of had to read the first paragraph several times before it sank in.' A year on from losing her seat at the general election when her Conservative Party lost office, Mordaunt said it was 'lovely to be appreciated in this way.' Mordaunt, 52, saw her profile boosted during the king's coronation ceremony in 2023. The former lawmaker made a memorable appearance bearing the 'sword of state," the first time the duty had been carried out by a woman. The 'Companion' Antony Gormley, the sculptor who was knighted in 2014, was made a 'Companion of Honour' for his services to art. The award is one of the most prestigious that the monarch can bestow to citizens in Britain and across the Commonwealth, as there are only 65 companions at any one time. Introduced in 1917 by King George V, the award recognizes people who have made 'a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine, or government lasting over a long period of time.' Current members include British environmentalist David Attenborough, Canadian author Margaret Atwood and one of Britain's greatest-ever athletes Sebastian Coe. Hundreds more are awarded The honors don't just reward people in the public eye. More than 1,200 people received honours in the latest list. Women made up 48% of those honored, with 11% of recipients from ethnic minority backgrounds. The oldest recipient was 106-year-old World War II veteran William Irwin, who was awarded a British Empire Medal, for his services to the community. The youngest was 11-year-old disability campaigner Carmela Chillery-Watson, who was made a 'Member of the Most Excellent Order British Empire," or MBE. Chillery-Watson, who has LMNA congenital muscular dystrophy, has become the youngest ever recipient of the award for helping raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for Muscular Dystrophy UK. In what is thought to be a first, three members of the same family were named in the same list. Jenna Speirs, her mother Caroline and father Duncan were each awarded a British Empire Medal for founding a children's cancer charity called Calum's Cabin after Jenna's twin brother died of an inoperable brain tumour aged 12. Campaigners who have fought to tackle the rise of knife crime were also recognized. Pooja Kanda, whose 16-year-old son was murdered with a ninja sword near his home, was awarded the Order of the British Empire, or OBE. Alison Madgin, the mother of 18-year-old Samantha Madgin, who was knifed to death, was made an MBE alongside her daughter Carly Barrett.
