COALITION RENEWS PUSH FOR REFORM OF FOREST TAX LAW Expanding access to program will benefit environment, economy, say advocates

PLATTSBURGH | Forestry associations, environmental groups and state lawmakers are asking the governor to prioritize reform of a program designed to preserve timberlands by giving private forest owners tax breaks and other incentives.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a series of reforms to the Forest Tax Abatement Program last year, but the issue failed to gain traction.

Now as the governor prepares to roll out his 2018-19 budget plan on Tuesday,

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

The plans serve as somewhat of a blueprint for the parcels, mapping out work schedules, objectives for forest health and provisions to maintain wildlife habitat.

The program offers up to an 80 percent reduction of property assessment.

But while 75 percent of the state’s forests are privately held, only 7 percent of eligible landowners participate, according to the governor’s 2017 State of the State agenda.

the group is renewing its push to see the reforms become law.

UP TO 80 PERCENT

Commonly known as 480-a, the state Department of Environmental Conservation-managed program offers private landowners who own at least 50 contiguous acres of timberland tax deductions and other economic benefits in exchange for sustainably managing the forests on their property through long-term planning.

Assemblywoman Addie A.E. Jenne, who represents St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties, said healthy forests support the biomass industry, a job generator in the North Country.

But restrictions to entering the program, said Assemblyman D. Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay), dissuade forest owners from accessing the benefits of the existing law.

Chestertown raises some disposal fees to cover costs TRANSFER STATION FEE STRUCTURE

After Feb. 1, it will cost a little more to dispose of items, other than household garbage, at the Chestertown Transfer Station. The town board raised disposal fees for items such as mattresses, furniture, appliances and tires effective Feb. 1. Clean-up cards, which had been free, will now cost $5 for $50 worth of disposal privileges.

Cost of dumping furniture, appliances, tires going up

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | The Chester Town Board followed up discussion last month regarding raising fees on items taken to the town’s transfer station by raising fees for

some items, effective Feb. 1.

The changes were authorized at the Jan. 9 town board meeting, when the board also agreed to charge $5 for the previously free clean-up cards. Clean-up cards are limited to one per property.

The cost for disposing of household garbage will not change.

At the Dec. 12 town board meeting, Councilman Michael Packer said the clean-up cards would likely cost the town $85,000 in 2018.

At the time, the board considered charg-

» Fundraiser Cont. from pg. 1 Proceeds are to go towards medical expenses of CocozzaHill, a Lake George High School graduate now awaiting a kidney transplant.

The concert starts at 8 p.m., but the doors open at 7 p.m.

Admission tickets are $20 each.

Cocozza-Hill, a Lake George High School graduate, has been battling kidney disease since he was 8 years old.

Recently, however, his health has been declining, and he is now awaiting a kidney transplant.

The event includes a silent auction, refreshments and a 50-50 raffle as well as the sale of “Johnny Strong” T-shirts,

As of Feb 1, the following fee structure will be in place for the Chestertown Transfer Station: - C & D (construction and demolition debris) is going from $30 to $40 per cubic yard.

- Mattresses and box springs from $4 to $8 each.

- Couches from $5 to $10.

- Sleeper sofas from $9 to $15/ - Refrigerators and air-conditioners from $10 to $15.

- Chairs from $4 to $10.

- TVs from $5 to $10 depending on size.

- Tires from $2 to $4 off the rim, and from $4 to $8 on the rim.

- Toilets/sinks from $5 to $6.

- Bags of garbage remain the same: 0-16 gallon size - $2 each; 17-32 gallon - $3 each; 33-40 gallon - $4 each; and over 40 gallon - $9 each.

- The $50 punch card, called the “clean-up card,” will no longer be free, but will cost residents $5, effective immediately. ing $25 for a punch card valued at $50. The clean-up cards are intended to give residents a break on the cost of disposing items such

as mattresses, furniture, appliances, or tires - items property owners might want to get rid of during spring cleaning.

In December, some residents said charging for the previously free card would take away an incentive to take items to the transfer station. Although the board decided to charge only $5 for the clean-up cards, residents voiced similar objections, saying charging would only encourage people to thrown junk along the roadways.

Supervisor Craig Leggett said some people are not cleaning up their properties with the free card, so not charging was not an incentive. Pottersville resident Mary Clark suggested having the zoning administrator issue an order to clean up.

“You’ve got junk all over Pottersville. Make people take their junk over there (to the transfer station) and make some money for the town,” she said.

Clark questioned what the code enforcement officer was doing regarding properties where junk is being stored. Pottersville resident Patrick Powers said nothing is being done about his neighbor, who has various unregistered vehicles on his property.

Packer said he compared the disposal fees charged by neighboring communities, and could find no pattern.

“Everyone has a different rate. These are averages,” he said of the new rates.

Leggett said Warren County would supply a trailer to collect and haul away tires. He said the 900-tire capacity trailers would cost the town $1,700 per load. ■

Chester super offers ‘State of the Town’ address Supervisor said 2018 will be busy year

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

CHESTERTOWN | Town of Chester Supervisor Craig Leggett outlined 2017 highlights in his annual State of the Town address, including passing a budget that was below the cap and the installation of a new biomass boiler in town hall.

As part of the town’s organizational meeting on Jan. 9, the supervisor mentioned the adoption of the 2018 budget that was below the tax cap and held the tax levy to 2 percent.

He also said the town went through a state audit and was found to be in “good shape” with only minor policy adjustments to be made.

Leggett also mentioned the biomass wood pellet boiler, which was installed and went online in November.

The $600,000 project is being paid for mainly through grant money.

During a ribbon cutting ceremony in November, speakers praised the project for local sustainability, using fuel pellets produced in New York state. The biomass boiler became the primary

heating source for town hall, with the existing oil-fuel boiler remaining as a back-up system.

At the same time, the town acquired a 104 acre forest tract named the Cunningham Community Forest.

Leggett praised the Cunningham family, which sold the property to Chester for only $65,000, and the Peckham family, which donated $50,000 toward the purchase price.

Leggett mentioned an economic development initiative started in the spring, which includes gathering information that will be used to identify and select specific projects for the town.

The Chester Town Board also held its first ever regular board meeting at the Pottersville Firehouse on July 11.

Leggett said the board would continue to have two meetings per year in Pottersville one in the spring and one in the fall.

Word of Life Bible Institute president Roger Peace said when contacted Jan. 10, the institute would provide a meeting space in the event the fire hall was unavailable for a town board meeting.

Other accomplishments highlighted in Leggett’s address include: Updating the town’s employee handbook; improvements to the Pottersville Water District water; completing the Dynamite Hill timber harvest four

Chestertown supervisor Craig Leggett gave the annual State of the Town address on Jan. 9 in Chester Town Hall. Some of the accomplishments mentioned were preparing a 2017 budget that is under the spending cap, installing a new biomass wood pellet boiler in town hall, and starting work on an economic development initiative.

Stefanik defends positions, record in tele-town hall Stefanik takes heat over tax reform vote

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. | She came, she listened, she answered, she comforted — over the phone.

A woman who identified herself as “Evelyn from Ogdensburg” asked Rep. Elise Stefanik on Thursday what she was doing to cull the heroin epidemic carving out the North Country.

“It’s been two years today since my son passed from an overdose of heroin laced with fentanyl,” Evelyn told Stefanik.

She trailed off and let the comment hang in the air.

“I think there’s not a family throughout the district that hasn’t been affected by this,” Stefanik said. “Obviously this is very personal to you. It’s an epidemic across the country and it’s an epidemic in our region.”

The lawmaker ticked off past and proposed legislation to address the issue, including the raft of bills introduced earlier that week.

Evelyn cited a community group in Watertown, the Alliance for Better Communities, that has sprouted to combat the scourge.

“It’s very helpful to me to be able to speak about my son, who was not a heroin addict,” Evelyn said.

Her son, a veteran, was active in Alcoholics Anonymous, clean for over a year, and relapsed after a entering into a relationship with an addict, she said.

He lost the fight.

“It killed him, and he left a six-year-old,” Evelyn said. “So it is very important to me along with the veterans things because he was a veteran. I think sometimes my veterans — at least my veteran — was overmedicated.”

out to 30,000 households across the district.

One-hundred and fifty signed up in advance.

The lawmaker discussed everything from environmental policies to broadband, net neutrality, the Second Amendment and health care.

WALKING A FINE LINE

But the meeting wasn’t all smooth sailing for the lawmaker, a Republican who has strived to craft a bipartisan brand in a historically conservative district — and in a country with a galvanized left churning against a controversial president.

Several callers thanked her for her attention to veterans issues, but criticized her vote against the tax bill last December.

“I think we need to get this economy going, and get these people on social services back to work,” said a man who identified himself as Charles from Fulton County.

Stefanik said capping state and local tax deduction at $10,000 was a dealbreaker, and one that will negatively impact state residents despite other provisions she found agreeable.

“I believe New York state needs to get serious about cutting our taxes and reigning in our spending,” she said.

Another caller, Pamela from Herkimer, also criticized the lawmaker’s vote, and asked about tax relief for working class homeowners like she and her husband.

Pamela spoke of her family’s struggle to keep their heads above water. Her husband worked for 45 years and is still unable to afford health insurance on the Obamacare exchange, she said.

“At the lowest level, he could not afford the insurance that is out there on the exchange,” she said. “We felt so used, and so abused by that.”

Stefanik voted to repeal Obamacare in May, but the measure didn’t make it out of the Senate.

The lawmaker reiterated that the law needed to be re-

NOT PRE-SCREENED

And so it went — a steady, conversational back and forth during Stefanik’s telephone conference call last Thursday, part listening session, part therapy session — and part interrogation — as voters waited for their turn to touch base with the second-term lawmaker, who remained cheerful and indefatigable throughout the hour-long session.

By now, the telephone conference calls have been comfortable terrain for Stefanik, who prefers the setting over public town hall meetings.

She’s held 13 since taking office in 2015, and they follow a familiar pattern: Stefanik outlines what she’s working on in Congress before opening the lines to callers, most of whom appear to be eager to chat with the lawmaker, whether be to share their grievances or ask her to elaborate on where she stands on certain issues.

Calls are not pre-screened. But in order to cover a broad array of issues, the lawmaker’s office asks callers what the subject of their question is before they are on the call.

“However, constituents are free to ask about anything once they are on the line,” said Tom Flanagin, a spokesman.

Exact numbers aren’t in, but the lawmaker’s office reached

placed with “patient-centered” health care.

Randy from Gansevoort appeared to be frustrated at Stefanik’s bipartisan approach.

“What policies and agenda items do you agree with (President Trump) on, and will be supporting in the coming year?” he asked.

Stefanik said she supported his candidacy, and supported his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, his focus on growing the economy, sunsetting regulations, lowering tax rates for small businesses and boosting the military and his opposition to sequestration.

“I’m willing to work with the president on issues where we agree, but there are issues where I do disagree with him,” she said.

Stefanik took nearly a dozen calls, and the session illuminated the often-tricky tightrope that comes from representing New York’s 21st Congressional District and various constituencies that are often at odds with each other.

New York State Republican Committee Regional Vice Chair Shaun Gillilland said the politically diverse district tends to be oriented toward moderate positions at the center of American politics.

“Her votes are well-balanced, well-thought out, and represent pretty much the majority opinion of the district,” he said. “If she is catching criticism from the far right and the far left, then I would say she got it on target.”

Stefanik is up for re-election this year, and faces a growing field of Democratic candidates chomping at the bit to replace her.

The telephone conference call didn’t go unnoticed by candidates.

Tedra Cobb, a former St. Lawrence County lawmaker, criticized Stefanik in a statement for not holding town halls, and said she’s already held 125 campaign events, and will hold 12 town halls annually if elected. ■ To read this story in its entirety visit suncommunitynews.com

Environmental review required for sewer project Proposed district would cover downtown

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

JOHNSBURG | Matt Parobeck from the Johnsburg Sewer Commission advised the town board the commission is taking “baby steps” toward creating a sewer district in the North Creek area, but the commission is still moving forward. » Forest tax Cont. from pg. 1 “Unfortunately, conversion of private forests to non-forest uses like subdividing the land for development as well as unsustainable, exploitive ‘value liquidation harvests’ remain a concern in New York state,” the report reads.

These practices, the report continues, “negatively impact tree species diversity and long-term economic value of the land, and leave genetically inferior trees standing — and are, in large part, caused by the pressure of high property taxes.”

The Empire Forests for the Future Initiative contains a six-point platform for boosting enrollment.

The provisions include lessening administrative burdens, expanding eligibility to include both 25-acre parcels and open land, establishing grant programs and providing financial relief to local governments who

One of those steps includes completing a State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) for the proposed sewer district, which includes the downtown North Creek area, the Ski Bowl, Johnsburg Central School, Front Street development and commercial/ residential areas along Route 28.

The sewer district, according to a report prepared in July by Cedarwood Engineering, has been segmented into sub-areas based on anticipated interest in joining a centralized system, plus local topography and existing infrastructure.

The report anticipates a future connection

between the sewer district and the Gore Mountain Ski Facility.

At the Dec. 5 Johnsburg Town Board meeting, Councilwoman Katie Nightingale said the commission thought it would ask Cedarwood to provide the cost of preparing a SEQR. Parobeck provided an estimate from Cedarwood in which engineer Tom Suosso said the cost of preparing a full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) would cost $750.

Suosso advised Parobeck in a Nov. 27 email that Cedarwood could not begin the project until after the first of the year, but in could

be completed by Jan. 15, 2018.

are “significantly impacted” by the program.

federal policy a centerpiece of his administration since President Trump took office a year ago this week — including rollbacks to environmental safeguards.

“As the federal government fails to take the lead in enacting proactive policies to combat climate change, we have a moral obligation to do what we can at the state and local level,” said Jessica Ottney Mahar, policy director of The Nature Conservancy in New York, in a statement.

She called reforming the law a “forwardlooking way for New York to do its part and have our forest landowners mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon and putting their land to work, to the benefit of both themselves and their communities.”

The business sector has also signed on, citing the economic benefits to the forest industry,

which employs 60,000 New Yorkers who receive over $2.5 billion in annual wages, according to The Business Council of New York State.

“The future of those jobs is connected to the continued maintenance and viability of our forest lands,” said Darren Suarez, director of government affairs for The Business Council of New York State, in a statement.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

By expanding access and reducing bureaucratic hurdles for entry, more forest landowners will be encouraged to enroll in the program, advocates say.

John Bartow, executive director of Empire State Forest Products Association (ESFPA), called it a “win-win” for both owners and the state.

“The current program overburdens property owners with cumbersome regulations and excessively complex requirements for participation,” Bartow said in a statement.

ESFPA is joined by local and national environmental groups who argue good forestry practices aid in mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration.

BIG NEED

An Adirondack Council report released last month has revealed local communities require over $100 million in clean water infrastructure projects to shore up ailing systems.

Some $2.5 billion in state funds has been allocated over the next five years in the state budget to finance the projects.

In addition to grants made available through the state’s Clean Water Program, financing is available under the state Environmental Facilities Corporation’s State Water Revolving Loan Fund. ■

STATE LAWMAKERS ENDORSE

State Senator Betty Little (R-Queensbury) supports the reforms.

“Over the years, we have created tremendous initiatives to support the conservation of publicly-owned forests in New York, and the time is ripe for us to address the private forest lands that make up 75 percent of the forest lands in the state,” Little said in a statement. ■ To read this story in its entirety, visit suncommunitynews.com

WCS Alumni Basketball game slated Former players, cheerleaders urged to sign up now

By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

WARRENSBURG | Former basketball players for Warrensburg High School likely ranging in ages from 18 to 85 or so will be competing soon in a relatively rare alumni basketball game.

To be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday Feb. 3,

dozens of former WCS basketball players, both male and female, will be competing, according to event organizers.

Those alumni seeking to play in the game or join the cheerleading squad — but not yet signed up — are urged to email the Warrensburg Alumni Association at: wcialumnigame@gmail.com to participate.

These messages should include graduating year and maiden name, if applicable.

Players and cheerleaders of all years are encouraged to join the fun, alumni Jack Toney said.

All WCS alumni players and cheerleaders are urged to attend whether they intend to play or cheer — or be a spec-

tator. All of the school alumni area citizens are also urged to watch the game, which in prior years has been action-filled.

This year’s game is to be followed with a gathering at the Echo Lake Lodge for socializing and swapping memories.

Those planning to attend as spectators or joining this after-game party are asked to send an email to wcsalumniny.org or WCS Alumni Association, P.O. Box 713, Warrensburg NY 12885.

General admission to the game is $5, and free for alumni association members.

The game is jointly sponsored by the Warrensburg Alumni Association and the Warrensburg High School Student Council. ■

Burghers show strength with season’s end in sight

By Thom Randall STA FF W RITER

The 2017-18 Warrensburg High School Varsity Girls Basketball team includes (front row, left to right): Hope Boland (Soph.

The Burghers were leading 26-13 at halftime, when the Forts switched to a full-court press which aided their 27-12 surge in the third quarter and extended it with a 16-10 fourth-

They will be cheering for their son Andrew, not as an athlete, but as a wax tech for the U.S. Olympic Nordic Skiing Team, which will be traveling to PyeonChang, South Korea for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games from Feb. 9-25.

Andrew Morehouse, 30, has been touring with the U.S. Nordic Skiing Team, which includes cross country skiing and other non-downhill events.

The Sun caught up with him after Christmas as he waited in JFK International Airport for a flight to Zurich, Switzerland.

“We will drive up to Lenzerheide for the Tour de Ski,” Morehouse said Based in Bozeman, Mont., Morehouse was in Europe from Nov. 15 to before Christmas for Period One of the

quarter advantage. Played on Fort Ann’s home court, the Jan. 12 game ended 48-56.

“They outplayed us in the second half, picking up their defensive pressure, and we just didn’t respond,” Smith said.

Against Fort Ann, Hughes scored 16 points;

World Cup of Nordic skiing. He started out in Finland and Norway before spending a week each in Switzerland and Italy.

Montana, Morehouse said, has very good programs and venues for skiing.

“They have a nice network of community trails. They have partnered with World Service and U.S. Forest Service and other groups,” he said.

Morehouse is now in his third season with the U.S. Nordic Skiing Team. His contract is just for the winters, normally from mid-November to end of March, when he travels with the team during world cup racing season.

Morehouse started his skiing experiences as a kid at Little Gore Mountain before moving up to the bigger mountain. The tried cross country skiing in eighth grade, was a division champion in high school, and continued as a skier at the University New Hampshire, and as an assistant coach at St. Lawrence University, where he earned a masters degree in education.

Morehouse wanted to be part of the U.S. Nordic Skiing Team. He applied for a position and is now one of five fulltime wax technicians.

Each tech works with two athletes - a male and a female skier - helping them choose the skis they will use that day and waxing the skis.

“A big part of Nordic racing is the wax. It can make a big difference because the skiers are on their skis for about an hour and a half in some races. It makes a difference to get the best glide,” Morehouse said.

Morehouse is working with U.S. Nordic skiers Erik Bjornson and Rosie Brennan. ■

WARRENSBURG | In a recent Warrensburg Varsity Girls Basketball practice session, Warrensburg High School coach Scott Smith voiced his thoughts to his athletes who have enjoyed a strong season to date.

“It’s mid-January and all our games are pretty big now,” he said. “It’s time to play; it’s time to leave your mark.”

As of Jan. 14, the Burghers were 7-2 in the Adirondack League and 10-3 overall, cruising through one of the best seasons in recent history.

With five more league games to play, he told the players that each game is important in determining whether they will compete in the league playoffs.

“We’re hoping to make a strong push over these last games,” Smith said on Monday.

Despite their youth, the players have considerable athletic ability, and the team has exceptional balance.

When opposing teams double-up on one of the Burghers’ leading players — including junior forward/guard Meghan Hughes and sophomore guard Hope Boland — other players, like freshman Sarah Langworthy, senior Kayla Raymond and the Ranous sisters — Abigail and Aubrey — step forward and score.

“Most all our players are able to score in the double-digits in any one night,” Smith said.

The season hasn’t been without a few disappointments, however.

Last week, the Burghers were caught off-

Hope Boland had 11; Abilgail Ranous scored 7 and Aubrey Ranous, 6.

Three days earlier, Warrensburg gained a hard-fought 52-40 win over Salem on Burgher turf. The momentum of the game was determined in the first quarter when Warrensburg scored 23 points to Salem’s 10.

Leading the team were Hughes with 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks; Langworthy with 14 points; Boland with 11; Abigail Ranous contributing 9 points and 6 rebounds; and Danielle Baker adding 2 points.

The prior day, the Burghers overwhelmed Granville 67-26. In that total-team effort, Hughes scored 16 points; Boland scored 15 including 3 three-pointers; Langworthy sank five baskets; Kayla Raymond and Abigail Ranous scored 9 points each; Aubrey Ranous scored 4; plus Baker and Mikayla Rothermel hit one shot each. Hughes also tallied 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks.

On Jan. 5, Warrensburg rolled over Corinth 62-30 in another league game. In that contest, Langworthy was top scorer with 15 points — a new career high; Hughes followed with 13 points and 7 rebounds; Boland scored 12 and grabbed 5 rebounds and had 6 assists; Raymond had 8 points; Aubrey Ranous contributed 5 points; Abigail Ranous followed with 3 — and Baker, Dianne Curtis, Madison Binder scored 2 each.

Smith said his players have demonstrated their abilities and he was optimistic about how the team would finish off the 2017-18 season.

“I know they’ll make a strong push this last several weeks,” he said. ■

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

Let the good times roll

I doubt Sun Community News and Printing will ever be confused with a Fortune 500 company.

We are a small familyBy Dan Alexander owned firm operating in • PUBLISHER • rural America with a small staff and tight budget.

But we are proud to join the growing number of companies large and small who see reason for optimism on the horizon, not just for our publishing enterprise, but our employees, customers and communities.

To date, hundreds of firms employing millions of employees will be receiving bonuses, raises, expansions and retirement increases rising from the recently passed federal tax reform, according to Americans for Tax Reform.

We are pleased to add our modest announcement to others you’ve recently heard for national firms.

All of our hourly and most of the salaried employees will realize a long-overdue pay increase averaging out to approximately $1,000 for each employee.

To start the year, we also announced we would be able to return contributing to their Individual Retirement Accounts after a four-year absence.

The combined cash value to our employees will be approximately $85,000.

That number will be combined with their tax reduction to put valuable funds back into the local economy.

We’ve also made several software and equipment commitments for the coming year to enhance our production capabilities and simplify some tasks for our dedicated team.

Weathering the last few years has not been easy given the state of the economy. We’ve been able to maintain our competitive edge without massive layoffs, bone-cutting cutbacks, or prolonged employee furloughs as we’ve seen other media companies employ.

We’ve had to watch every penny and haven’t had the luxury of any frills, keeping our heads down and focused on maintaining a valuable service to our readers and advertising customers.

Economic downturns are never a welcome occurrence. There are valuable lessons to be learned when you go through them that hopefully make your organization stronger, the staff more committed to the mission at hand and recognizing the value of good customers, many of whom deal with the same issues we face.

Together we are all better equipped for the future and hope to reap the benefits of a stronger economy.

Small business has long been recognized as the heart of the American economy. The Sun has been proud to be a part of America’s grassroots, and we are equally pleased to be in the position of sharing our good fortune with the many quality people who’ve made careers with our hometown firm. ■

From the Editorial board

World University Games is a great idea — but must benefit everyone Locking in a third Olympic Games for Lake Placid has long been a goal of regional cheerleaders, who have chased the idea for years.

The Olympics is an indelible part of our collective legacy. But we’ve always rolled our eyes at the prospects for a three-peat.

So much has changed since 1980, and the region is ill-equipped to host a third installment, namely due to the extent to which the Olympic Games have evolved over the past four decades into a global force.

Officials expect to sell 1.17 million tickets to next month’s 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, and anticipate 100,000 visitors per day, according to USA Today.

The High Peaks, in contrast, struggles to accommodate the influx of hikers during the summertime boom months.

Hosting upwards of one million visitors might be a stretch.

But cheerleaders have thankfully put those Olympic-sized dreams on the backburner, dialing back those ambitions in favor of smaller-scale events that are more attainable.

Lake Placid has been tapped to host both the 2019 International Children’s Games and the 2021 Bobsled and Skeleton World Championships.

The golden ticket is the 2023 World University Games.

The Adirondack North Country Global Sports Committee earlier this month formally submitted a bid for the event.

While projected visitation numbers aren’t in, the World University Games — also known as the FISU Winter Universiade — is smaller than its Olympian counterpart, both in terms of athlete participation and visitation.

Letters

U.S. cannot survive without an honest media

To the Editor: In this publication, I have read more than one letter slamming the president for his calling out inaccurate reporting. The writers seem to be more worried about the attacks than the lack of honest reporting.

I’m not talking about honest mistakes we all make. I’m talking about the twisting of facts to make them say what the media and those that support them want to hear.

This has been a constant since Trump was elected.

One example: President Trump’s inaugural speech.

I don’t usually listen to them, but this one I did. What I heard

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has promised state support, and officials from the International University Sports Federation (FISU) will visit Lake Placid to kick the tires at the end of the month.

A decision is expected to be made later this year after local officials venture to Switzerland to make their pitch directly to FISU brass.

Stakeholders have touted the benefits of the hosting the event.

In addition to the feel-good vibes of being back on the global radar, officials have said they aim to use the Winter Universiade as an economic development tool to construct affordable housing and remedy parking problems, two of the biggest infrastructure problems facing the community.

Stakeholders have chipped in about $300,000 for the application, and hosting the event could cost up to $35 million, according to organizers.

While details are still hazy, officials say this number will be offset by athlete fees, ticket sales and television rights, among other revenue streams.

We support the 2023 World University Games — the local economy could use all the help it can get — but critics have also brought up some valid concerns, namely when it comes to accountability, the prospects of drifting costs, taxpayer risks and the overall permanent benefit to the community.

A public meeting is scheduled to be held on Wednesday in Lake Placid, after this edition went to print.

It’s unlikely all of those questions will be answered then, but we can assume this will be the beginning of a long and transparent dialogue between organizers and the community.

and what was reported about the speech were not even close. I have yet to hear honest reporting about any of his speeches from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, et cetera.

The president has never called for the forced shutting down of the media that I know of.

But during the 2016 presidential election cycle, I did hear Hillary Clinton call for gutting the First Amendment because the Democrats did not like one of the Supreme Court’s decisions (Citizen’s United, 2010).

The media has a lot bigger problem than the president attacking them.

Less than 25 percent of people polled trust the mainstream media. Th is has nothing to do with Trump. Th is was in play before him.

It’s important organizers keep the public appraised throughout every step of the process.

And we think the local working class population should benefit more than just a temporary part-time job, or from the shine rubbed off from a brush with the limelight, but rather from long-term effects that will measurably improve their lives.

Affordable housing is a big one. So is creating a market for new businesses that will last long after the final athlete and celebrity has departed.

Organizers should also use this to leverage as much investment for local infrastructure projects as possible to lower the tax burden for local residents.

Measures should also be taken to expand the event’s impact beyond just the High Peaks.

Plattsburgh and Clinton County will stand to benefit as the Plattsburgh International Airport is expected to be the main portal of arrival for a steady stream of visitors, dignitaries, fans and other VIPs. But organizers should also bring southern Essex and northern Warren counties into the fold, regions that often feel neglected in the shadow of their neighboring tourism superpowers.

Despite the glamour that will come with the Winter Universiade, the region faces innumerable problems, and for many of us, living here is little more than experiencing poverty with a view — to steal a line common amongst rural tourist-driven economies that cater to the affluent.

So as the region marches toward the event of a generation, it should benefit everyone — not just the privileged few.

If you believe that the president is a liar, fine! Does this give the media a free pass to do the same?

A free press is of vital importance, our country cannot survive without it. But the country also cannot survive without an honest media.

munity. Federal policies are undermining New York’s already inequitable tax structure, and the result leaves funding for local education services like public libraries under attack.

To paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “a budget is a moral document.”

Where we, through our elected officials, chose to spend our collective resources serves as a testament to what we value.

As our elected representatives come together in Albany this winter to craft this year’s state budget, I want a document that speaks to our hopes rather than our fears and creates policies that will benefit every New Yorker — and there is no better declaration of intent than funding our community libraries.

Johnsburg Occupancy Tax Committee makes recommendations Committee awards $28k of $50k requested

By Christopher South STA FF W RITER

JOHNSBURG| Thirteen organizations requesting occupancy tax funds for 2018 events were awarded all or some of the money requested - so far.

At the Dec. 19 town board meeting, Councilman Peter Olesheski Jr. said the Occupancy Tax Committee recommended awarding $28,166, or about 56 percent of the $50,441 requested from 20 applicants. Seven organizations did not get the recommendation for an award, and Olesheski said those applicants should consider reapplying in April when there is another application period.

Asked if a new application was required, Olesheski said, “I would submit the same application.”

Some of the larger awardees were Live More Adventures, which received $4,700 for a Rock Climbing and Music Weekend, the Johnsburg Fine Arts League, which received $5,940 toward the street scape mosaic project, and the North Creek Business Alliance, which was awarded $4,500 for a shuttle running around North Creek. In the winter, it transports people to Gore Mountain and the Ski Bowl.

The smallest award was $600 to Upper Hudson Trails Alliance for kiosk trail maps.

The Occupancy Tax Committee includes Olesheski, chairman, Lisa Salomon, Bernadette Speach, Dave Skibinski, Debra Zach, Emily Stanton, John Stafford and Dwayne Spitzer. According to Salomon, the committee is using an application form that was based on the Warren County application, but with some changes. The applicants submit the application, and the committee members read them and assign a score from 1 to 10. The scores are then averaged and given a percentage from 1 to 100. Scores this year ranged from 42.5 percent to 78.6.

Salomon said this year the committee asked questions

North Country Singers welcomes new singers, rehearsals Jan. 22

The North Country Singers, which performed a free holiday concert at Tannery Pond in December, is preparing for a 40th anniversary spring concert on May 20. The choir, which is made up of community members from the Gore Mountain region, is always looking for more members.

Community choir preparing for spring concert JOHNSBURG | The North Country Singers under the direction of Denise Conti will begin rehearsals on Monday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. in the Johnsburg Central School Band Room.

The choir is made up of singers from the greater Gore Mountain region, and welcomes anyone who likes to sing to join them.

The choir will be preparing music for its spring concert on May 20, celebrating its 40th anniversary of bringing quality choral music to the area.

The program will consist of past favorites chosen by the singers, including “Les Miserables,” “Bridge Over Troubled Waters,” “Seasons of Love,” “Ave Verum Corpus,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and selections from “West Side Story” in recognition of Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday.

The Queensbury Middle School Select Choir under the direction of Laura Lee Deland will also be performing in this concert. ■

St. Cecilia’s Church in Warrensburg recently hosted Confirmation for the Catholic parishes of northern Warren Country. Nineteen youth from St. James in North Creek, St. Isaac Jogues in Chestertown, Blessed Sacrament in Bolton Landing, Sacred Heart in Lake George and St. Cecilia’s were confirmed by Bishop Hubbard.

» Letters Cont. from pg. 6

Libraries offer free and equal access to educational opportunities, and are the primary source of internet access for many of our neighbors.

New Yorkers of all ages, experiences and needs turn to their local library for early literacy programs; classes in adult education and financial literacy; health groups and fitness workshops; technology assistance; English and other language classes; and many other programs and services too numerous to list here.

New York has failed to fully fund library services for more than a decade.

This decade of underfunding has withheld

more than $110 million in State Library Aid. This has not only undermined local education opportunities, but has pushed costs onto local taxpayers.

When New York fails to fund library services, we end up with diminished services that cost more. It’s not only inefficient, it’s unconscionable.

Join me in using the online advocacy system offered by the New York Library Association to write to the governor and the legislature: nyla.org/advocacy.

about the organizations, and met with representatives of each organization. The committee was able to give feedback to the organizations, such as to Karl Varni and John Goddard, who submitted a proposal for a Pop-up Park.

The idea was to use several parking spaces on Main Street near the mosaic project and set up tables and chairs where people could look at the mosaic mural, which is still underway. Salomon said Main Street is a county road and Warren County had concerns about safety. Varni and Goddard were not given an award, but can reapply in the spring.

Some other organizations were partially funded, including the Tannery Pond Community Center, which requested $6,800 for 2018 concerts and performances, but was awarded only $1,100.

“They were one we encouraged to come back ion the spring,” Salomon said. “They have a lot of things in August going into the fall.

Olesheski said the town earmarked $10,000 for marketing the town. Salomon said that was in addition to a smaller amount to pay for things such as planters and July 4 fireworks. ■

One hundred years ago – January 1918 THE ICE KING’S DOMAIN

All records are broken in this area by cold weather this past week. The weather reached down to 58 degrees below zero.

Other places claim to have beaten us, but what are a few degrees among friends?

Relief is promised soon here in the Ice King’s domain. We have been compelled to endure and still suffer in the worst spell of weather ever known in this area of the Adirondacks where heretofore 35 or 40 below once during a winter has been considered rather phenomenal.

This morning, Jan. 3, 1918, the thermometer at T.J. Smith & Son’s grist mill (River Street) registered 40 below and everybody is rejoicing because the weather is getting warmer. Sunday morning (Dec. 30, 1917) was the coldest of the period and 58 below zero was registered by F. Dudley Pulver’s spirit thermometer at his home on Hudson Street. This is the lowest authentic record in this locality.

Sixty-nine below zero was said to have been registered at Thurman Station, but L.T. Spencer, D&H agent at that place, states that this was a canard (false rumor), as his thermometer actually recorded only 49 degrees as this was the best it could do as it had no greater capacity. Lake Pleasant recorded 60 degrees below zero.

The cold is widespread, covering nearly the whole country, and great suffering is reported at many points, principally in New York City and some other large cities, where shortage of coal has caused much misery. Warrensburgh has been very fortunate in this respect thanks to the foresight and enterprise of the local dealers A.C. Emerson & Company, who take care of their customers in a most satisfactory manner.

Plumbers have been the busiest men in the community, being kept on the go continually thawing out frozen water pipes in many homes. One firm alone reported 40 calls on Sunday morning. The government weather bureau promised relief on New Year’s Day, but it didn’t come.

(Update: During a September heat wave in southern California in 1917, a temperature of 134 degrees above zero was reported.

A break in the cold wave came on Saturday, Jan. 5, 1918 when the mercury slowly managed to rise and managed to climb during the early morning hours to 10 degrees above zero and on Monday a light snow storm prevailed.)

FLYING FISTICUFFS

For assaulting George Harrington recently at the Meadowbrook (now Nettle Meadow) Stock Farm in Thurman, Cyrus D. Baker was arrested by State Trooper E.C. Ryan and Saturday he was tried before Justice Willard D. Baker and convicted of the charge. He was sentenced to 30 days imprisonment in the county jail but upon signing a pledge to keep the peace, his sentence was suspended.

Harrington received a black eye and other minor injuries in the fray.

UP, UP AND AWAY

A spirited team of young horses owned and driven by Elmore Tucker, of Thurman, were frightened on Saturday, Dec. 29, 1917 by boys and ran away. going four miles at top speed before they were stopped by Hubert Ingraham, a 12 year old boy.

Mr. Tucker was thrown from the sleigh soon after the horses started but escaped injury. (Update: I will hazard a guess that those “boys” took a trip to the wood shed that night.)

YOUNG BOY DIES

Dewey Tucker, 18, died Dec. 12, 1917 after a long illness at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Tucker, in Stony Creek.

Besides his parents he is survived by three brothers and a sister, Gilford, Courtney, Robert and Miss Lela Tucker, all of Stony Creek.

The funeral will be held at the Methodist Church in Athol with the Rev. George Silvernail officiating. Burial will be in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.

KICKING UP THEIR HEELS

A good sized crowd ushered in the new 1918 year in grand style at an old-fashioned square dance in Fairyland Theatre, Monday night, Dec. 31, 1917. Excellent music was furnished by Leslie Lloyd and Frank Farrar.

Manager Jerald LaRocque announced that on Friday, Jan. 4, 1918 another dance will be held.

(Update: The new Fairyland Theatre building was built in 1916 directly across the street from the historic old Crandall house, which is next door north of the current Warrensburg Museum of Local History. The building is now gone, and the land is currently a parking lot for the adjacent Hudson Headwaters Health Network.

I guess this is what is called “progress.”)

WINTER DRAGS ON

Friday, Jan. 11, 1918, was the warmest day in Warrensburgh in several weeks, the thermometer registering 32 degrees above zero nearly all day. Saturday morning we had 12 inches of new damp snow and Sunday morning the temperature dropped and it was 10 below zero with a strong west wind.

(Update: As Shakespeare lamented, “Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.” This 1918 weather sounds so very much like a current dismal January, 2018 weather report.)

SWEET AND SOUR NOTES

Frear’s store, in Troy, is selling men’s coats made of dog fur, perfect for this frigid winter weather, valued at $25 and on sale for only $16.50.

Preventing drug abuse and excessive alcohol use increases people's chances of living long, healthy, and productive lives. Excessive alcohol use includes binge drinking (i.e., five or more drinks during a single occasion for men, four or more drinks during a single occasion for women), underage drinking, drinking while pregnant, and alcohol impaired driving.

Drug abuse includes any inappropriate use of pharmaceuticals (both prescription and over-the counter drugs) and any use of illicit drugs. Alcohol and other drug use can impede judgment and lead to harmful risk-taking behavior. Preventing drug abuse and excessive alcohol use improves quality of life, academic performance, workplace productivity, and military preparedness; reduces crime and criminal justice expenses; reduces motor vehicle crashes and fatalities; and lowers health care costs for acute and chronic conditions.

Our Town Theatre Group gears up for 2018 season

Community theater starting at Tannery Pond, Jan. 20

NORTH CREEK | Our Town Theater Group announces its 2018 Season with a

“Celebration and Tribute to Costume Design” at the Tannery Pond Community Center on Saturday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m.

The evening will feature music and dancing with the Frank Conti Band, an auction of theme baskets and selected costume pieces, a costume tag sale, and refreshments.

Now 20 years old, the community theater group will dedicate the upcoming season to

long-time founding member and costumer Jane Castaneda.

Her support and influence was vital to the success of OTTG until her passing in August 2017.

“Costumes are important,” Castaneda used to say. “If a performance is great, you may not notice the costumes if they perfectly fit the play. But if they are bad, it will certainly

be obvious to the audience.”

Admission to the event is free. Items will be auctioned and costumes will be for sale.

Theme baskets will include a 2018 VIP season pass to OTTG’s main stage performances, and several furs and coats will be included in the auction. Join OTTG for this celebration.

For more information, visit ottg.org or call (518) 406-8840. ■

WITHERBEE | Our beloved sister Geraldine Paden Wood passed away peacefully on Dec. 4, 2017.

Born in Greenville, South Carolina to William and Annie Mae Paden, Geraldine — who was affectionately known as Gerri — grew up in Witherbee, where she used her pleasant soprano voice to delight church and talent show audiences for years.

She later lived in Albany for several years before moving to Harlem, where she made a career of helping people as a registered nurse in the emergency room of Harlem Hospital. She served patients there for over 30 years. She was a resident of Rensselaer County for the past five years.

Upon her retirement, she was recognized and cited by Harlem Hospital during a special celebration dinner held in her honor. The administration, staff, and patients expressed their gratitude for her long years of providing caring out professional services to the community.

Gerri had two loving sons. Her youngest, Jeffrey predeceased her in 2009. Her older son, Leon Wood is currently a resident of Witherbee.

She is the sister of Alice Green (Charles Touhey), Joan Lee (Jesse), William Paden (Anne) and Ralph Paden (Mae). She is survived by four grandsons; Lewis Wood, Jeffrey Wood, Levo Freeman and Luki Freeman; and 11 nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff of Rosewood Rehab and Nursing for the great love and professional care given to Gerri. They became like family.

A celebration gathering in Gerri’s Honor will be held in Albany on Feb. 24, 2017. ■ You are cordially invited to attend a celebration of the extraordinary life of

Geraldine Payden Wood, RN.

Saturday, February 24, 2018 from 2 pm until 5pm.

WARRENSBURG | Warren County was awarded a $43,000 grant that will be used for an engineering assessment of the condition of the Countryside Adult Home in Warrensburg.

1-800-682-1643 388-4077

The county also needed to provide some third party documentation saying the work was required.

“We submitted a proposal to do a full engineering assessment of the building, both for long and shortterm needs,” LaMothe said.

He said the engineering study would assess code compliance, see what it would take to bring the building up to code, and would likely look at energy needs and energy efficiency.

The assessment would also evaluate compliance health code regulations.

He said the engineering assessment could determine upgrades would cost more than a granting agency would be willing to fund.

LaMothe said the county had just started the contract process with the with the state for obtaining the grant, but felt the process should be “relatively painless.” ■

MINERVA | Joyce Jane (Steele) Gonyo was born on June 7, 1940 and passed away on Jan. 4, 2018 in Glens Falls Hospital. She was the daughter of Tycee and Jane (Ball) Steele.

On Sept. 14, 1957 Joyce married Marvin Gonyo of Minerva.

She is survived by her husband Marvin; children Joseph and wife Patty Gonyo of Olmstedville, Debbie Gonyo and David Gonyo of Minerva. She is also survived by Brenda and husband Casey Prosser of Pottersville, SueAnne and husband Michael Sheedy of Florida and James and wife Erin Gonyo of Minerva.

She was predeceased by her son Daniel James Gonyo. Joyce is survived by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Donations may be made in Joyce’s memory to the Minerva Rescue Squad.

Please visit the funeral arrangements at alexanderfuneralhomes.com. ■

The home provides both long-term residential care and temporary respite care to adult residents of Warren County, who do not require 24-hour skilled nursing services.

Wayne LaMothe, the county’s director of planning, applied for the grant after becoming aware that some sewer line work needed to be done at the adult home.

“We were made aware there were some issues,” LaMothe said.

LaMothe said the county secured a grant for a sprinkler system at the formerly county-owned Westmount Health Center, and sought a similar grant for Countryside.

Countryside was awarded $43,237 through a NYS Homes and Community Renewal Community Development Block Grant after the agency determined the residents meet income requirements.
